Good Saturday Morning, Crew!

[SeattleGirl]

I'm happy to be serving as your Guest Host this week while Clintmax is on his very well deserved vacation. :bounce: I want to thank him for asking me to sub for him while he's gone. :loveya:

I went to my FIL's 75th birthday party on Friday night. It was a lot of fun, and there was a lot of REALLY GOOD food there! :woohoo: The picture at the top of the post was one I took this evening from my BIL's back deck. It looks out over Puget Sound. The first bit of land you see on the other side of the water is Vashon Island; the mountains in the background are the Olympics. Beautiful, huh?

So what do you all have planned for this weekend? For me, I have to work, but since I am home-based, I can also watch baseball, especially my Mariners :loveya: .

The song for today is "Misty" by Johnny Mathis, because I'm feeling loved, and feeling the love! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[entanglement]

1. Morning, SG!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

2. Morning, entanglement!

How are you this fine day?

[entanglement]

8. Just great, thank you.

A bit drunk as well.

You might have seen me in the odd thread, making a nuisance of myself ;) but I've been on DU for more than a year now.

Here's wishing you success with the 'Good Morning' thread. :toast:

[SeattleGirl]

10. Why, thank you!

:toast:

[entanglement]

27. LOL

I've been thinking about what to say next, but 'Why, Thank you' pretty much seems to be the end of a conversation. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

29. It's one of my many talents!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[entanglement]

42. Hmmm, methinks you need some of these

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

:P

[SeattleGirl]

43. Thanks. I needed that!!

:evilgrin:

[sbj405]

3. Morning, SeattleGirl!

Thanks for filling in. I'm finishing up some projects around the house this weekend. Maybe see Thank You for Smoking.

[SeattleGirl]

5. Morning, sbj405!

I'm most happy to do this! I want to see Thank You For Smoking. Looks like a good movie.

[sbj405]

6. Yeah. If I get my proects done, I can make the $5 matinee

[SeattleGirl]

7. $5? Wow! Our matinee's around here in SeattleLand are $6.75!

Eeek! Well, hope you get to see it. I'd love to know what you think about it.

9. Morning SeattleGirl!

I'm back in the lounge!
(Just had to email the first part of the meaning of life to someone, I put it in some lounge thread I'd tell if PM'ed about it)

How are you? How is America?
I see you've kept the fine Clintmax tradition of having a 'song of the day' I've never heard of.

[SeattleGirl]

11. Good morning, RA!

You should see if you can find the song online. It's a beautiful one, especially the way Johnny Mathis sings it!

:hi:

[Random_Australian]

15. Clint and I had loooooong discussions on how to find that music.

Finally, Rhapdody dot com....... after all that time.... so I look around, find 'Miss American Pie' that Don McLean song... click, and it goes "You are outside of America (a.k.a Fuck OFF)"
So so much for that.

btw, no curiosity about the meaning of life? tsk, tsk.... Americans. Do you know about ~66% don't believe global warming will affect them?

meh. It can't such a bad place with DU in it! ;).

[SeattleGirl]

16. Rhapsody is my main music source, and I did find it there.

I'm sorry you couldn't access it! x(

Not all American's have no curiosity about the meaning of life. As far as your 66% stat, unfortunately, you are correct. Sometimes things don't really get to people until it directly effects them.

And the world is definitely a better place with DU in it! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

19. Not all American's have curiosity about the meaining of grammar

either.
:hide:

Just kidding.

Wanna hear this great new joke?

[SeattleGirl]

21. I'd love to hear a new joke!

:bounce:

[Random_Australian]

23. All right:

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

-------------------------------------------
Isn't that sooooooooooooooooo funny? I just knew you'd enjoy it.

heh heh heh.

Anyway, a real joke:

A Bhuddist walks up to a hot dog vendor and says 'Make me one with everything'

[SeattleGirl]

25. I knew it. I just KNEW IT!

You are taking advantage of the substitute teacher, aren't you? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

26. Actually, I my name is "Starbucks Anarchist"

R_A is over there:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5000441&mesg_id=5000460

;).

Anyway, on a more serious note, I hear you're holding snap federal elections over there in the States. That's what LBN was saying anyway.



*teehee* ;)

Used that on Clint yesterday.

[SeattleGirl]

28. Ptttthhhh!

:P

Just kidding! :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

30. Actually, I'm cooking up one HELL of a prank to play on GD

or the lounge. Can't talk about it on a public forum though. Actually, I did yesterday but still...

Are you one for pranking your fellow DU'ers?

Whenever I can, I do, personally.
:evilgrin:

Did you realise that they're putting into law that Christian Faith is the cornerstone of the 'U.S. Moral System'?


Of course you didn't. I made it up just now.

But yes, not any funny stories today, yet.

I DID manage to get 9.44 kilograms of shopping for $25.45, which is pretty good. Carrying that load a mile hurt though.

[SeattleGirl]

31. Pranking is okay, as long as it doesn't hurt or humiliate another

person. But if it's something that most people can laugh at, then go for it!

[Random_Australian]

32. Aye. Although I do do a fair few psychology experiments on

my fellow DU'ers, but as with pranks, never hurt anyone.

Except this one troll. Did he get wigged or what? I kept saying 'Got Milk?'.

Anyway, here's a social psychology experiment for you to participate in, I'll reply to this post with one from yesterday's thread. Just reply like I'd not said this.

[Random_Australian]

34. Actually, the Athiest/Agnostic forum found this whacko

site that claimed, for instance, looking at women in 'that way', even if you aren't married equals adultery.

All ten commandments were like that, but I still scored 3/10 (No, I wasn't innocent of his adultery clause :evilgrin:), next week 4/10, and if his statements weren't contradictory, I could get 5/10.

Considering that the guy behind it is also known as Captain Wack McWierd, Leitenant of the WhatTheFuckIsHeGibberingAbout corps, to get that score you have to be an angel. Who looks at tits.

[SeattleGirl]

36. Well, as someone once said,

if thinking certain things about someone make them real, we'd ALL be guilty of adultery! :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

37. Nice! And you know that the results are going to a good cause.

I mean the psych exp results, if you'd only clicked on the last post this would seem VERY unusual. Click the post before the post before the post before this one.

Did you read both of the two posts before your own?
Just curious. Experimental validity, you see.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. Morning, SeattleGirl!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

13. SA!!!!

How nice to see you! :loveya:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. You, too!

:loveya:

I replied to you in yesterday's good morning thread, too! Check it out!

[SeattleGirl]

17. I will!

:loveya:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. Good morning! I haven't gone to bed yet, so is it really morning?

I know it's getting light outside, but I haven't gone to bed yet. I always feel you need to sleep in order for the new day to start. Through this logic, I once had a Tuesday that lasted until Friday. You know what sucks after that...finally falling asleep in a physically painful, hallucinatory state and having a fire drill in your dorm. Complete with strobe light and siren approximately 1' from your head.

[SeattleGirl]

20. I know what you're saying -- it's nearly 4:00 am here, but it's

still Friday for me, as I have not yet been to sleep!

I've never had that long a stint without sleeping! Hope you never go through that again!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

22. Yeah, it was ridiculous.

It was school/work/chemical induced. I can do 48 hours without sleep easy, no outside help, but that was really pushing it. I just have bizarre sleep patterns and I've had them my whole life. My one friend referred to it as having a "binge/purge" sleeping disorder, as in go for three weeks sleeping 2 hours a night and then sleep for 20 hours one day. Wash rinse repeat.

[SeattleGirl]

24. Jeez, I think your friend described my life-long sleep pattern

Though at the age of 50, I'm not able any more to go long stretches of time without sleep, unless I can sleep for an entire day to catch up with it!

[RevCheesehead]

33. Here I thought maybe you got lucky last night...

then I find out you're "guest hosting." :evilfrown:

Or is "guest hosting" a euphemism for.... :think:

Whatever. Good morning, SG!

[SeattleGirl]

35. Rev!!!!!

How wonderful to see you! I wish my guest hosting were a euphemism, but oh well. I do enjoy keeping the Morning Crew thread going for Clintmax!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

38. Aren't you up late tonight?

Or is it morning there, like it is here?

:hug::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

39. It's 4:20 am

And I feel like this: :crazy:

[RevCheesehead]

40. Really?

I feel like that nearly all the time. Or this: :silly:

[SeattleGirl]

41. Yeah, that's also how I feel!

:silly:

[Minnesota Libra]

44. Hey SeattleGirl, nice to have you doing the Morning Crew duty and.........

....yes I agree Clintmax deserved a vacation and I hope he enjoys every moment.:hi:

We're going to have some sun here in The Twin Cities:bounce: so I'm going to get out today for awhile. Just hope we don't have more rain for another couple of days:puke:, some places to the north are still very soggy.

Well, take care and I hope we don't give you too many headaches here on the Morning Crew.:grouphug:

:loveya:Everyone be good to each other and win another one from the dark side.:loveya: It's not like idiot boy isn't helping the cause all he can.:wtf: I wonder how proud pops is of him now.:think:

[SeattleGirl]

45. Hey you!!!

How nice to see you!!! :loveya: :bounce: :loveya:

[entanglement]

46. LOL Minnesota Libra don't know why but I'm feeling friendly

towards you. Perhaps it's the alcohol :rofl:

[Minnesota Libra]

64. Cute!!!!! LMAO Have a great day!!

[In_The_Wind]

47. Good Morning

That's a lovely picture of Puget Sound.

I'm posting from Jimmy Jazz's home this morning. It's raining lightly so our original plans for today will need to be revamped. x(

[SeattleGirl]

49. Joani!!!!!

How wonderful to see you!!!! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Please give JJ a big hug and smoochie for me and tell her I miss her a lot!!!!
i :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

67. I'm happy you're filling in for Clintmax while he's on vacation!

JJ is just a bubbly as ever. She's been going to the gym and working out. She said she has lost a few pounds. :shrug: I thought she was a real knock-out before. From what I can see, she is slim and lookin' good! :thumbsup:

I love to giggle with my DU friends. I've done a lot of that recently. First with Sugar Smack (who really is the sweetest person), swimboy and mr.swim are so totally positive and up-beat (we all laughed out loud together over supper) and being here with JJ is starting to feel a little bit like home.

I'll pass on the hug and smoochies. I think I hear little feet moving around. :) But I'm not smelling any coffee yet.

[Cannikin]

48. Good morning SeattleGirl! Thanks for filling in!

[SeattleGirl]

50. Hey!

Nice to see you!! :hi:

[riona]

51. fl check-in

thanks for taking over. it's a quiet home week end for us - the masters. as for myself -i think i'll get rid of closet clutter.

[SeattleGirl]

52. Good morning!

:toast: :bounce: :toast: :bounce: :toast:

[AirmensMom]

53. Good morning, SG!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

That's a very pretty picture!

We don't have many plans this weekend. Just keep the house cleaned up and maybe spruce up the yard a bit. We have a few palm trees that need some branches trimmed. Wow, doesn't that sound exciting?

[SeattleGirl]

55. AM!!!

Lovely to see you! You know, sometimes just puttering aroumnd the yard and gardens is the best of all worlds!

I love the picture too. It's so incredibly beautiful around here..:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

58. That's very true.

How silly of me. :silly: And the citrus trees are just starting to blossom, so it smells really nice.

Hareleydad and I are starting out with a breakfast of bagel sandwiches -- eggs, cheese and Canadian bacon -- and cappuccino (he makes THE BEST). :9 That should get us going.

I've never been to Seattle. It does look beautiful from all the pictures I've seen. :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

59. Breakfast sammiches! Sounds yummy!

Seattle is gorgeous, and you and Harleydad are always welcome should you ever make it up this way! :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

63. Oh, thank you!

We'll make our reservations early. :rofl:
Gotta go now -- those sammiches are done. Have a great day! And thanks for being here in the morning. :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

65. Well, I just couldn't leave you to wander aimlessly on a Saturday

morning in your jammies! :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

68. My words come back to bite me.

:rofl:

Yummy, that breakfast was good. :9 I'm so full I can hardly move. But the house and yard beckon. I'm learning about Murphy's Law when it comes to house-selling. If I leave the pet blankets off the sofas, no one comes. But the MINUTE I put them back on, the phone rings. Works that way with cleaning -- don't swiffer the floors and they're coming in 10 minutes. Make the house sparkle, and it keeps them away for days. So I have to ask myself, "Do I want someone to come today or do I want to be left alone?"
:shrug:

[Random_Australian]

54. Captain GetsIgnored checking in!

Where'd you go? You've not answered my last post.
:hide:
It's all right. Here comes the sun.

[SeattleGirl]

56. Ten hut! There is an officer on deck!

:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[Random_Australian]

60. Officer yes, answer

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Edit: Do you have any idea how amusing I find the length you can scroll and read that sideways is?

[SeattleGirl]

57. To the Morning Crew:

I'm glad my first stint is on a Saturday! It's 5:30 here, and I'm so very, very tired, so I am retiring for awhile.

For any of you who post after this, I wish you a pleasant good evening, and will respond to your posts once I've gotten som sleep.

Good night, my lovelies! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Random_Australian]

61. Wow! I'm going to bed the next day!

Nigh Night!

[SeattleGirl]

62. *giggle*

God, but I have to get some sleep!

[Random_Australian]

66. I can tell. Your posts make as much sense as a drugged out

hippie hamster in a tumble dryer through a voice sythesizer built from a chicken in a vacuum cleaner.

;) just kidding.
Nighty Night Bo-tingles!

Sleep well!

[Bzzzz]

69. Hi SeattleGirl

:hi:

I've always loved 'Misty'. Your pic is beautiful and I hope someday to see that part of the U.S.
My big plans are going to Indy to buy my new car and then to pickup the grandson and keep him overnight to give Mom and Dad a break and a well deserved evening alone. :)

[auntAgonist]

70. good morning to you SG!

I hope you have a wonderful day, even if you have to work :hug:

71. G'day Seattle girl...

I get to play fiddle at a wedding reception today. A hippie wedding reception. Woo Hoo!
