Good Wednesday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to another "Hump Day" edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: I have two days left until my vacation starts! :woohoo: I will know a little later this morning if I'm going to Missouri or not, so I'll let you know tomorrow!

I hope you've had a good week so far! It's been busy the past couple of days at the store, so the time has been going by quickly thank goodness! :bounce: Usually, the days before vacation are so slow it's agonizing! So I'm happy it hasn't been like that so far!

Here are a few interesting numbers I've compiled recently:

123.75 - Average number of responses to the Good Morning Thread
46 - Current number of Early Morning Crew members
17 - Number of "missing" Early Morning Crew members
47 - Number of posts until I hit 9000!

Are you ready to get this day started with me? I hope so, because here we go! :bounce:

25. Hi all!

GooOOOOOood MORNIN', VIETNAM!!!!

[Clintmax]

35. LOL! Good Morning, Mr. Scorpio!

:hi::bounce:
Good to see you in the Early Morning Crew thread today! How's every little thing, Man?

[MrScorpio]

40. It's great

I just finished working on my show

Another WINNAH!

And you?

[Clintmax]

45. Everything is splendid!

:bounce:
I just have to get through the next two work days...and I'm done for 11 days! :woohoo:

[MrScorpio]

Vacation time!

Heading out of town?

[Clintmax]

52. Yes I am...

either to Missouri to visit my parents or to Orlando! I'll know a little later this morning which one!

[Random_Australian]

2. Bastard! Beat me AGAIN!... err, I mean, Good morning Clintmax!

[Clintmax]

6. Hail, Random!

:hi:
Nobody beat you today, Man! You're the first! :bounce: How are ya doing down there?

[Random_Australian]

13. Fairly good. Studying Psychology, posting, and listening to music

right now.

Earlier I was busy swearing at Rhapsody.com .... I did all this stuff, even fudged all my personal details, and then went looking for 'American Pie'... you know, that Don McLean song... found it, (after bieng distracted by the wonders of Pink Floyd), and so I click 'Play'.

System: You are outside America. You may not access this service.
Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArgh!

Mfbhwifjbwjkfbjwebfjwn to computers!

OR

'For a complete list of the ways technoloy has failed to improve the quality of life, press 3'

BTW, you beat me for first poster!

Stuff's kinda good here. How about you?

[Clintmax]

16. I'm sorry to hear about the Rhapsody mixup.

I didn't know those outside the US couldn't use the service! Wow...I'll have to keep that in mind for others I suggest to use it.

Do you mean the "Current Early Morning Crew Members" entry I post every day? THAT'S the one you mean as the first post? If so, you'll NEVER beat me to that one. I copy and paste and it only takes a second to post it, Man. :rofl:

Everything is good here too! Weather is going to be fantastic the rest of the week and into the weekend! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

21. Do you copy and paste the subject, or write it?

I'll get you.... or perhaps not.

Anyway, I had my first Salsa lesson today (The dance not the culinary version), free as I'm a member of (personally identifiable information, insert your own whacko guess).
So my feet are tired. Capoeira tomorrow! Then my feet will be twice as tired.

Don't worry about the rhapsody thing. According to some guy trolling in the Skeptic forum, Isreal has secret Doomsday machines....:eyes: . That also why I had the 'insert your own conspiracy' thing.

[Clintmax]

24. No, I don't copy & paste the main post...

Just the crew roster. I decide when I sit down every morning what to write about.

Salsa is a pretty lively dance, so I can imagine you'd be tired. I've got to visit that Skeptic forum...sounds interesting.

[Random_Australian]

31. Sounds interesting... if you like

triple digit flamewars between skeptics and CD's (Controlled Demolitionists, not compact discs ;) )

No guess as to what I'm part of? I thought you'd guess the Illuminati! (How cool would that be 'We are a secret society bent on world domination...... and latin dance')

BTW, I meant do you copy and post the "Current Early Morining Crew Members" bit ie. the TITLE of the first post.....

[Clintmax]

36. No...just the listing.

I have to type in the heading every time too. Boy...you're trying to figure out how to beat me aren't you? :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

38. Who? Me? NOOOooooooooo.............

Whatever made you think that? I'm hughely shocked. Series.

What are you, a terrist!!!!!1!!!11!!!!!111!!!!!!111!!!!!!

[Clintmax]

44. ROFL!

:rofl:
I'm sorry I doubted you, Mate! :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

53. Well, since you are repentant, I can now reveal to you the one

absolute truth about life:

Bananas go well with Vanilla Custard....

Keep it to yourself, O.K.... ;)

And how is America today? I tried to read your obesity statistics, but they were too wide for the screen.

I needs must cook dinner!

Random Fluctuations In The Quantum Continuum Bless! (I actually said that yesterday to these fundy evangelicals here at uni, when they told me God Bless. Were they impressed? Not....... entirely impressed, you could say....)

See ya round!
R_A.

[Clintmax]

57. Have a good dinner, Random!

It's always fun with you here! :bounce: "Random fluctuations in the quantuum bless." :rofl: I'M impressed!

[SeattleGirl]

3. Clintmax!

Good morning to you, my friend! I had a good day. I got an email from my mom, and got to talk to her too. She is home now, after a week in the hospital. I plan to go see her weekend after this coming one.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

4. (Sorry to intrude) Is she O.K. now?

[SeattleGirl]

7. Not completely, but getting better

Still feeling somewhat weak, but I can always tell from her voice whether she's doing really badly or not. Her voice is rather strong, so I think she is on the mend. Thanks for asking. :hug:

[Clintmax]

8. Good Morning, Miss Seattle!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad to hear your Mom is home now! I hope she's feeling all better! I've never had to stay in the hospital for anything, but I can imagine how bad it sucks to have to.

[SeattleGirl]

10. Been there a few times myself

Not fun, but hey, at least they are trying to take care of folks and help them get better.

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

11. True...

Still though...:loveya:

Hey, have you talked to AirmensMom recently?

[SeattleGirl]

15. No, I haven't.

I have not run into her at all. Is something wrong, or you just wondering where she is?

[Clintmax]

17. Well...

I got a private from her yesterday telling me she was leaving DU and asked me to remove her name from the Early Morning Crew roster. She said that she always makes somebody mad and she'd be better staying away. :cry: I did a search of her recent posts and only found one person who got a little peeved when she asked them to use a smaller font because the one they used was so large it gave her a headache to read. I sent one back to her telling her to sleep on it before she made THAT decision and come into the thread today when she got up and we'd talk more about it then.

I just wondered if she'd said anything to you about it.

[SeattleGirl]

19. Oh no! Damn! I hadn't heard anything from her.

I'm going to see if I can find her, and PM her. :cry:

[Clintmax]

22. I think she...

usually gets up around 7:45 or so. She also said she always gets here two minutes after I've left. I told her I'll be here longer today because I don't have to go to work until later this afternoon. Hopefully, she'll be here this morning and I can talk to her. Otherwise...I'll remove her name like she asked (although it will break my heart to do it) from the crew roster.

[SeattleGirl]

28. I just PMd her

Asked her to reconsider, and told her that there are a lot of people on DU who care a lot about her. I will respect her decision to leave, if she ultimately decides to do so, but I do hope she reconsiders.

[Clintmax]

34. Me too.

I'm crossing my fingers that I'll see her this morning here in the thread.

Are you going to any games this weekend?

[SeattleGirl]

43. Good deal.

I so hope she stays.

We were going to go to the Saturday game, but decided we didn't have the money, so we'll be watching on TV

[Clintmax]

48. I know THAT feeling.

In any event, I hope you have a good weekend! I know I am! :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

51. Check your PM

[Clintmax]

55. Did and responded.

Thanks, Miss Seattle! :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

Thank YOU, darlin'

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

5. Happy Hump Day!

Coffee is brewing at this very moment.

[Clintmax]

9. Good Morning, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
I've got a cup here also! How are you this Morning?

[In_The_Wind]

26. I'm loving my life this morning!

Now that I've had 1/2 a cup of coffee, I'll feel a bit more like chatting.

So? What's going on over in Orlando next week? Other than: great weather combined with the 3 PM daily deluge of warm tropical rain. :)

[Clintmax]

30. I'm happy to hear life is good!

:loveya:
In Orlando there's ALWAYS something going on. If I don't go to Missouri, I'll go spend some time at Universal Studios and Seaworld! I love it there! And we're not quite into the tourist season yet, so it won't be so crazy either! The rainy season hasn't started yet either...and none in the forecast for the upcoming week! :woohoo:

[In_The_Wind]

67. Miss Frodo is adjusting to life without me very well.

Which would indicate that I can take off for a month this Summer and 3 weeks this Fall before I start back to school.


I love going to resort areas off season! Sea World is cool but be very very careful if you feed the giant catfish. Maybe that was in Ft. Lauderdale - never mind.

[Clintmax]

75. LOL! I'll be careful, I promise!

I wish I could take time off like that! Alas, I only get two weeks a year I can take off.

[In_The_Wind]

103. Good! Cause I want you to be around in September when we drive down.

I saw those catfish eat a duck after it tried to catch a french fry. :scared:

[Clintmax]

105. Oh, I'll be here!

Worry not, my dear! I can't WAIT to see you two! :bounce: That's going to be a GREAT day! :hug:

[progmom]

126. you're going back to school?

most excellent!! :D

[In_The_Wind]

127. Yep!

I just made the decision a few days ago. This spring/summer/fall is one last fling before returning to reality. :D

Thanks J. I didn't really think anyone would notice.

Have Cyber Space ~ Will Travel

[progmom]

128. i am thrilled for you!

what will you be studying?

[In_The_Wind]

129. I will be able incorporate my training with CPS.

In the past I have thought about becoming a private investigator and put it off. Now it shouldn't take very long to get the additional classwork I'll need for a license to do what has always come naturally to me.

[AirmensMom]

130. Well, I'm impressed.

:hi: :yourock:

[In_The_Wind]

131. AirmensMom

Thank you. I need something to do that I enjoy. I'm very grateful that my current living arrangement will not only give me the environment to study but also to have my own business after I am fully licensed. Maybe I read too many books by my favorite pulp fiction author John McDonald. :shrug: I know I'll enjoy doing things my way (as usual).




:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

132. You like John McDonald?

Of Travis McGee fame? Harleydad loves him! :bounce:
I wish you the best of luck with this endeavor. Make sure you keep us updated, OK? :hug: :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

133. Travis McGee is my idol!

I probably read every book John McDonald ever wrote. I felt right at home with his accurate descriptions of Travis McGee's adventures. I won't be able to start school this fall because I won't be home in September but at this point it's only a short delay.

[AirmensMom]

134. That's too cool!

We've seen his boat slip at Bahia Mar (yeah, they really do have one there). That's pretty cool. I've only read a few of the books, but harleydad has read a pile of them.

You sure do have a lot of adventures of your own planned. :bounce: :woohoo:

[NMMNG]

12. Good morning Clint!

Missing EMC members? Uh oh! Maybe we better have GWB go look under some tables for them. :rofl:

As for me I just finished re-creating the big post that WP12 destroyed the other day. It's over in GD (and also in my journal) right now if you want to take a look at it. (Hint, hint, poke, poke):P

[Clintmax]

14. Good Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad to see you today, my dear! :bounce::loveya: As far as the missings...there are that many people who haven't made an appearance in the thread in over a month (some more than 2)! x( I don't know WHERE they are. I'll go to your journal and check out the post...see what it's all about...

[NMMNG]

23. That's a long time to be AWOL

Hopefully everything is ok with them.

Thanks for checking out the post. It's a topic that's important to me.

[Clintmax]

27. Wow! Excellent post!

There's a LOT of good information in that one! GREAT job, Miss Buffy! :hug::loveya:

[NMMNG]

33. Thanks

:hug:

[Clintmax]

39. You're welcome!

:hug:
So do you have to work this weekend or are you off?

[NMMNG]

41. I have to work

No rest for the wicked and all that. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

50. I feel the same way too sometimes...

that's why I'm SO looking forward to vacation! Boy, do I need it! :bounce:

[NMMNG]

135. I really need one too

But I have no idea when I'm going to get one. :shrug:

[sbj405]

18. Morning, Clint and Crew!

Interesting stats.
I hope you breeze through your last couple of days before vacay.

[Clintmax]

20. Morning, Sbj!

:hi:
I hope these last two go by quickly also! You doing OK today?

[sbj405]

58. Pretty good. Finally got a decent night of sleep.

And we're one day closer to the weekend. woo hoo

[Clintmax]

60. That's what I say!

:woohoo:
I slept well also! I hope you have as good a weekend as I intend to have! :bounce:

[Sugar Smack]

29. Good morning, dearie.

I'm up, but I'm not *bouncing* just yet. :) :donut:

[Clintmax]

32. Good Morning, Miss Sugar!

:hi::hug:
It's still early...give yourself time. :rofl: HAve a cup o coffee with me and you soon will be! :bounce:

[newyawker99]

37. Good morning everyone!

:donut:


:hi:

[Clintmax]

42. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
Can you believe I'm going to hit 9000 posts this morning?! Sometimes these post counts go by so quickly it's amazing! :bounce: I hope you've had a good week so far, my dear! :loveya:

[newyawker99]

47. Cool! Pretty soon you will hit 10,000!!

I hope you have a great vacation! :loveya:

[Clintmax]

54. Well thank you, Miss NewYawker!

10,000! THAT will be the day!

[riona]

46. fl check-in

morning! the morning crew is a loyal one. glad the days are passing quickly before your vacation. looks like another beautiful day here - hope so for you too.

[Clintmax]

49. Good Morning, Flblu!

:hi:
Yep! It's going to be beautiful up here in Tallahassee also! Sunshine and warm (to hot) all the way through the middle of next week! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

56. Good morning Clint

I am here, not missing. Sorry for the late answer, I got swept into a email exchange with my darling. Not that you think I forgot about you.

[Clintmax]

59. Good Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug::loveya:
I knew you weren't missing! And, believe it or not...I was thinking you were probably talking to your darling either on the phone or in e-mails! :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

61. We are just getting to know each other better

and email is a big part in that. Talking about this and that.

And I picked up my pics today. So now I have a pic of him I can carry around :woohoo:
And pics of neweuropes apt. Will scan them in when I get home this evening.

[Clintmax]

62. I'm glad you have a picture now!

That's great! :bounce: Has work been busy today?

[MissHoneychurch]

63. So far it is OK

I decided to get me a book set and correct the entries. That is quite some work. And we have a lot of book sets in the stack. A lot of fun, I tell ya.

[Clintmax]

64. At least all that work is fun!

I have fun a lot at work too! That makes the job so much better, you know it?

[MissHoneychurch]

65. Yes it does

I wouldn't want to catalog booksets all the time but in between it is fun. At one point we need to get them cataloged properly but there are more urgent things to correct in our online catalog.

[Clintmax]

It's good for a change, I'm sure!

Having some else to do makes life interesting!

[Callalily]

69. Howdy MissH!

So, talking to your sweetie - how nice. Nothing wrong with some

Your cataloging project sounds very time consuming, but would prove to be a nice diversion between other tasks.

[MissHoneychurch]

76. Oh yes, we talk

we are now officially a couple :woohoo:

Cataloging is pretty much I do all day. Either new books or correcting old entries. All catalog cards got scanned in some years ago, so all our books are findable online. Now the only problem is that they didn't make a difference between monographies, booksets or articles. That is what I have to do now. Correct the entries. There is still a lot to do.

[Callalily]

121. Ah . . .

a couple already! Very nice! I'm happy for you.

[Minnesota Libra]

66. Morning Everyone - Any day is a Great day when.............

....the neocons are in disarray.:bounce:

Clintmax, just 47 posts until you hit that 9000 mark -:wow: you've been as busy as I have evidently.:pals:

Be good to each other :hug: and remember The Worst Democrat is ALWAYS Better Than The Best neocon.:spank: The worst Democrat may indeed need some help but at least they can be helped.:woohoo: No possibly hope for neocons/fundies.:freak:

[Clintmax]

70. Good Morning, Minnesota!

:hi:
It's always good to have your nice words in the morning! :grouphug:

[Minnesota Libra]

78. Clintmax - you brighten anyone's day!! nt

[Clintmax]

87. Awww...thank you!

I certainly enjoy my time here with my crew! :bounce:

[Callalily]

68. Morning Clint!

I read below where AirmensMom may be leaving because people are always mad at her? I only know her though your morning howdy session, and she seems very nice. But I've read other posts too where people are leaving because of meanness, spitefulness. I just can't understand that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I thought that's what this forum was all about. Pretty sad. :cry:

So you plan to firm up your vacation plans today? Orlando does sound fun. And Seaworld would be a fantastic place to visit. I love anything that has to do with the water.

[Clintmax]

71. Morning, SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you again today! :bounce: I hope Miss Airmens reconsiders leaving DU! She really IS a sweetheart! Yes, I'll know a little later this morning what I'm going to do on my vacation! I've been to Universal several times, but haven't been to Seaworld yet. So, I want to go there too!

[LaurenG]

72. GoodMorning Clintmax!

I am running late wishing you a good day today. I am getting excited for your time off for you.

I am having some trouble with the data back-up here. I guess the evening closers just thought it was no big deal if the data wasn't backed up for a week!!!:wtf: :wow: They finally told me today:spank: Anyway I am trying to see why but took a break to say happy day to you!!!:hi: :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

79. Good Morning, Miss Ohio!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad to see you today! :bounce: I'm getting SO excited too, let me just tell ya! :woohoo: Isn't it fun when you find something out like that a week later? x( I've give them a good :spank: as well! Happy day to you too, my dear! :loveya:

[Call Me Wesley]

73. Good morning Clintmax!

I just seem always to be too late these days ... :hi:

[Clintmax]

80. WESLEY!!!!

:bounce::hi::bounce:
Damn it's good to see you today, Man! It's been FOREVER since I've talked to you! How in the world have you been?

[Call Me Wesley]

We're fine here,

and it's raining today, but spring has arrived and we're already working a bit in the garden if time permits.

It's good to see you too - most of the time when I first check DU out, you're already gone off to work. But I'm always reading through and keep myself updated. ;) How are Tony and Bandit these days?

[Clintmax]

90. Tony and Bandit are just fine!

Tony is growing at an alarming rate! So we're all good here at the Clintmax house! I haven't seen you in so long I was counting you in the missing group. So, I'm glad to be able to remove your name from THERE! :bounce::hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

92. Thanks for removing my MIA.

(Should I feel like Chuck Noris now?) :rofl:

Glad to hear everything is fine! :hug:

[Clintmax]

95. Tell Miss Heidi I said Hello!

I haven't talked to her in AGES either. So spring has sprung in Switzerland too, huh? I'm glad! I hate winter!

[Call Me Wesley]

97. I'll tell her.

Yes, spring has sprung, and we already had a huge forrest fire also (not close), which is always an indicator of warmer weather. We also have a few flowers already flowering, and our tulips seem to be soon ready, too. But I just heard that Northern Switzerland got another load of fresh snow. :(

[Clintmax]

98. I love spring and summer!

I haven't seen any of Heidi's painting recently...have I just missed them or has she not posted any?

[Call Me Wesley]

100. Right now she's working for an upcoming exhibition,

and if I remember correctly, she posted some recently. Let me look if I can find it ... Yes, I could. Here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=4944810

[Clintmax]

102. Wow! Thanks for the link, Wesley!

That sort of painting (with lettering and everything) shows a LOT of talent! I'm impressed! :woohoo:

[Call Me Wesley]

104. Thank you!

I'll let her know. Now I have to go for a while, but I'll always try to catch your morning threads.

Have a wonderful day, Clintmax. :hug:

[Clintmax]

108. You have a good day too, Wesley!

:hi:
I hope you have lots of fun today! Hopefully, I'll see you in the morning! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

74. I'm back! How are things now?

Did you make the 47 posts? Wait a tic, I'll check myself....

[Clintmax]

82. Hello again, Random!

:hi:
I don't know! I haven't checked actually...hmmm...I must go see!

[lizziegrace]

77. Clint!

Good morning! Busy with work, a leaking washing machine and my own inability to deal with the time change. I'm beat.

Haven't heard "Settle for a Slowdown" but did like "What Was I Thinking".

:bounce:

[Clintmax]

83. Hello, Miss Lizzie!

:hi::bounce:
It's good to see you today, my dear! "Settle For A Slowdown" is a GREAT song! If you like Dierks, you'll love that one! At least I do!

[lizziegrace]

86. Little Big Town

Have you listened to any of their music? "Welcome to the Family" is a hoot. Wonderful 4 part harmonies.

[Clintmax]

91. I've heard some of their's yes...

But it's been a while...I may have to pull up Rhapsody and give them another listen!

[wildhorses]

81. g' morning Clintmax

:wow: two days in a row...what about that?!?!
:hi::hug:

[Clintmax]

84. Good Morning, Miss WildH!

:hi::hug:
Two days in a row! :bounce:
How's everything in your corner of the world?

[wildhorses]

89. for some unknown reason I am feeling happy...

not like me...nothing has changed but I guess I get tired of being sick and tired..if ya know what I mean...work was not bad last night and we all got along ...that helps because we have been having some backstabbing going on these past few months...very unpleasant and unsettling ...Looks like we are going to have a wonderful sunny day...I just hate wasting it on sleep...

[Clintmax]

93. Oooo...I hate backstabbing too.

:grr:
I wish people wouldn't go into that craziness. It's going to be a great day down here too!

[entanglement]

85. Morning Clint!

:hi: :hug:

No, I'm not missing, just late :)

[Clintmax]

88. Good Morning, Entangle!

:hi:
I wasn't counting YOU as missing. There are those who haven't made an appearance in the thread in over a month! How's life treating you?

[entanglement]

94. All's well

So you're off on a vacation in two days? Good for you, man. :toast:

[Clintmax]

96. Yep, I sure am!

And I can't freakin wait! It's been too long between vacations and this will give me time to relax and re-charge. :toast: Anything exciting going on with you?

[entanglement]

112. Not much, I'm afraid

Anyway, gotta run now. See you tomorrow. :hi:

[Clintmax]

113. Take it easy, Entangle!

:hi:
Have a great day! See you then! :bounce:

[KitchenWitch]

99. Good morning, dear!

I have caught an upper respiratory infection, so sleep has been difficult. But the good news is baseball season is finally here!

[Clintmax]

101. Good Morning, Miss Kitchen!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you this morning! I'm sorry you're not feeling well, though. :hug: I hope it goes away at once. Baseball season is here and the boys of summer are on the field! :bounce: Thank you for the AirmensMom thread! :hug::loveya:

[KitchenWitch]

107. Anytime

I think she could use some friendly support!

[Clintmax]

110. She certainly can!

You're such a sweetheart! :loveya: How's everything at the KitchenWitch house?

124. Good morning....I'm fixing up my second house!

We found a cute little two bedroom bungalow in an area that was to be levelled for apartments. Got the house for 3000 bucks. About 20000 bucks to move it and make it really nice. I'm so glad we bought our original house and 3 lots in 1985. $31,500....We so lucky! Single family with big trees and across from a park...sweeeeeeeeet!:bounce:
