[MissHoneychurch]

How are you all?

Me? I am doing fine. Yesterday evening they showed to documentaries at work which had our museum as topic. One was from 1986, the other from 1974. It was hilarious. In the one from 1986 we saw some colleagues we still know. We cracked up. :rofl:

So I keep myself occupied not to think about the mover guy. He is not worth it.
Thank you all for your kind words yesterday.

Picture of the day (grave of Georges Bizet on Pere Lachaise cemetary in Paris, composer of "Carmen", my favorite opera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcnsMnRMN2U&feature=PlayList&p=EE04FCF6FC6AFE4F&playnext=1&index=19 )

1. Good Morning Miss H

My toes are quite cold, (In my slippers, no socks on and no heat in my computer room!) I was about to sign off for the night but I can hang out for a moment or two longer...how are you and how did Saturday go?
On edit: watched the video, I am not much of an opera fan but...what a beautiful woman and OMG what a voice she has, quite warm, rich and POWERFUL!!!

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning chknltl

:hi:

Date?? What date?? There was no date. He didn't even had the courtesy to call and cancel. What was that about your friend? :D

[chknltl]

3. I am soooooo sorry for you Miss H.

I had such hopes for ya too! Well, it's his loss Miss H., you deserve better than a mover anyway!
(I'll have you a full bio on my friend asap.-likely by this time tomorrow night!)

btw: I once knew a lady who could sing opera if she wanted to. She chose not to do so, preferred to sing rock music instead. She was incredibly talented but talent won't buy you a hamburger if nobody ever gets to listen to that talent. She is now a personal trainer for a local fitness center-just one of many tragic stories I have run across in the local music industry.
on edit: I found something online regarding that singer lady I just mentioned:
http://www.toddscostumes.com/Xena%20Fans/naomi_beebe.htm oh and did I mention that she was a Xena look-alike too?)

[chknltl]

4. Miss H....

I can't stick around, I've still got to take both of my dogs outside for a 'potty-break' before I turn in for the night and I wasn't kidding about my toes being VERY cold at the moment, I save on the heating bill by not heating rooms in my home that I don't use much and this room get's used the least!...I'll check back with you tomorrow. :hug:

5. I love the picture!!!!

Good morning MissH! :hi::loveya:

So, cemeteries are my favorite places to take photos. I always wonder what their lives were like when I read the gravestones, especially when there is a quote of sorts.

I love opera too. "Tosca" is my favorite :D

I have been trying a new exercise regimen to deal with my pains. I worked out two days in a row, not a major feat, but a step in the right direction. A friend also suggested eliminating caffeine, so I have not had any since Friday. Yesterday my eyes were crossing at work :rofl:

I am looking forward to my trip to Virginia next month to see my friend. If nothing more, it will be a good opportunity to get away from life here in the super cold tundra. ;)

I hope you have a terrific day! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Good morning malta blue

:hi:

I love taking pics on cemetaries too. I prefer b/w photography there.
Here is one of my favorites, I took it in Savannah, GA. The Bonaventure cemetary is perfect for those pics :)



I quit drinking coffee years ago. Now I drink tea. Way better :)

[Callalily]

7. Morning MissH!

Yes, it must have been entertaining to watch the film with your colleagues. Glad you had some entertainment at work. ;)

I've never taken pics in a cemetery, oh wait, once out west. Had a friend who would find very old and decrepit cemeteries and do "rubbings" of the names/dates/epitaphs.

As you can see I'm running extremely late. *sigh* I'll probably take my breakfast to work.

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Good morning Callalily

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I started to wonder where everyone was. Glad to see you :hug:

I find cemeteries very interesting. They are so different in each country, it is fascinating. Also that nowadays cemeteries aren't the place to worship the death anymore. No big statues or anything.

[Callalily]

18. Oh yes, I agree with you about

the older cemeteries. Beautiful sculptures, truly works of art. We have several of them around here. Maybe I'll have to take a look when the weather warms up.

You are famous! Looks like there are two "good morning" copycat threads. Congratulations on your notoriety!

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Don't forget to take you camera with you

Some more pics I took in Paris (on the Montparnasse cemetery)








I don't know how that happened :shrug:

[Callalily]

27. Oh I truly like the

sepia tones, and the shadow running over the grave in your second photo is a bit surreal.

Yes, I'd definitely take my camera.

Okay, sad to say, I have to head out to work.

Wishing you a great day.

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

14. Morning, Miss Lily!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Don't spill coffee on your keyboard. (That was totally free advice. :D)

Have a great day! :hi:

[Callalily]

20. Good morning AirmensMom

and sound advice too, as I am drinking my coffee right now.

You should see (or maybe not) the crumbs in my keyboard. I'll occasionally give it a good shake to get the loose crud out. :rofl:

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

23. Hey ....

that's the name of a store, isn't it? They sell stereos and stuff. :silly:

I have a keyboard cover. Otherwise I would be toast ... and so would my computer! :rofl:

I think our guys have just arrived. Time to get the day started!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

28. Oh, I've got a backup

keyboard just in case this one decides to bite the dust. :rofl:

Your guys? Hmmmmmmm :evilgrin: Wishing you a great time with your guys.

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

9. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Good for you! That guy isn't worth a thought.

Just let the kitties out. It snowed yesterday, so they'll all romping around in it. Time to get my camera out if they're still around when it gets lighter. :D

Oops! Forgot to comment on the pic. Good one! I NEVER would have guessed that Camen is your favorite opera. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Good morning AirmensMom

Hey, I told you about "Carmen" :spank:

The pic you sent me yesterday is just great. He is such a handsome young man and I would even say that if he wasn't my baby :D

I bet the kitties have fun playing in the snow.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

11. Yeah, I know.

I was being bad. :evilgrin:

He is such a handsome young man! You are very right about that. I'm glad you liked it. :hug:

Yes, they do have fun. We thought we would "lose" Sheba in it. But she's more creamy colored than the snow and her points show up VERY well.

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Of course I like it

how can you have any doubts?? :shrug:

LOL .... must look hilarious with her in the snow.

[AirmensMom]

13. Like I said in the email,

he doesn't hold still long enough to get him focused properly. :rofl:

She actually looks very pretty in the snow. I expected her to look sort of dirty, but it's not l like that at all. She's gone into the woods (more dragons to hunt) so I can't get a pic of her now.

[MissHoneychurch]

17. Tell him

those pics are for me :rofl: Maybe he will hold still then :D

Did they bring you some dragons as gift?

[AirmensMom]

24. OK, I'll try that.

:rofl:

Not yet. I'm sure they will one day, though. :rofl:

Time for me to go ... maybe I can stop in later. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. OK, talk to you later

:hi: :loveya:

[blueraven95]

15. morning, AirmensMom!

:hi: :hug:


How are you?

[blueraven95]

16. Good Afternoon, MissH!

I've never seen Carmen, but I love the opera. I go as often as I can.

[MissHoneychurch]

19. Good morning blueraven

if you ever get a chance go see it. It is a lively opera with wonderful music. Of course I am biased. :)

I'm not going as often as I can, even though we have an opera house here in Frankfurt :eyes: I need to change that.

[blueraven95]

21. we have an opera house here in Baltimore too,

but most of the time the price tickets are still out of my range. It's a shame, cause I know they are having trouble financially, and I would love to go and support them, I just can't afford to most of the time.

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Pretty much the reason here too

it is too expensive to go all the time. Last year I got a ticket for "Cosi fan tutte" by Mozart from my friends for my b.day. We all went together. It was a fantastic performance.

[blueraven95]

30. that's awesome!

I wouldn't mind a b.day present like that. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

32. You might

wanna hint it to your friends :)

[blueraven95]

33. maybe I will...

so tell me, how awful were the outfits in the documentaries?

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Awful

:rofl:

Ya know, 80s .... all sweaters were IN the trousers or the sweaters were so baggy it didn't show anything ... the glasses hiding half the face .... it cracked us up.

[blueraven95]

37. It's always surprising to me what we have been willing to wear for the last 50 years

Before that, you can see an inherent style in the clothes, but after...:rofl:

Quite frankly, I'm terrified to see what we will think of our clothes now in 20 years.

[MissHoneychurch]

39. I think

we will scream as loud in 20 years :rofl:

But the last decades have been really awful.

I mean ....

[blueraven95]

43. I still have problems

believing that people really dressed like that...ever. Yikes. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

46. I know

it is a scary thought. But just look how ABBA dressed for their performances :scared:

[blueraven95]

49. okay, but as bad as those are

and they are bad...they were still costumes. They were supposed to be weird. (At least, I hope) It's the everyday clothes that frighten me. :scared:

[MissHoneychurch]

54. And the everyday clothes

tried to copy the costumes :scared:

I am glad I wasn't a teen/young adult in the 70s. It was bad enough in the 80s with leggins and shoulder pads :rofl:

[blueraven95]

58. yep, the 70s definitely had the worst clothes

but the 80s weren't much better. :D

[Brewman_Jax]

29. G'day, MissH

:hi: That is a nice photo. I like historical photos.

Last soccer game of the season tonight, and it's going to be cold. Maybe everyone will decide that it's too cold to play and stay in, but, I doubt it. :hide:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Good morning Brewman_Jax

:hi:

Thank you. I am sure there are such cemeteries near you too. The fun is, that I took it myself last October and I just switched my camera to "sepia" color. The pic itself isn't that old :)

Oh ... bty, how did the last game turn out? Did your team win?

[Brewman_Jax]

34. No

but we didn't shut out. We got a goal! We only lost 10-2! :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

36. YAY!!!!

Now how are your chances today?

[Brewman_Jax]

Depends on if a full team shows tonight

I play 7 vs. 7 co-ed, so there must be at least 3 women on the field at all times. We had to start a player short last week because one of the women was running late. They ran all over us for the first 5 minutes. I hope that one of our ringers can show. With her, we could actually win; without her, it can go either way. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Then I hope the lady shows up

:)

[Brewman_Jax]

44. That'd be nice

but our team captain hasn't said that she'll show. In this case, no news is not-so-good news.

[MissHoneychurch]

51. Sounds like

you need to find yourself a new ladies player ....

[Brewman_Jax]

55. She's our ringer

when she isn't hanging out or playing with us, she plays for the pro team and Select Division 7v7 teams. We have other young ladies on the team, but only one ringer. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

56. Yikes, VIP(layer) then

crossing my fingers that she shows up. :thumbsup:

[Brewman_Jax]

57. Thanks

maybe she'll show, maybe not. If not, we'll continue on smartly without her. :patriot:

[Wapsie B]

38. Good morning.

Great pic as usual.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. Good morning

I like your new name. Easier to type :)

How are you doing?

[Wapsie B]

42. Thank you!

I'm doing fine. :) Enjoying work and hoping spring gets here soon. How are you?

[MissHoneychurch]

45. I am doing fine too

thanks for asking.

It is sunny here today, but I am sure it isn't really warm yet x(

[Wapsie B]

48. It's near O degrees F right now

but will warm up a bit thankfully. I don't know what kind of winter Germany has compared with the Midwestern U.S. but I know it gets cold and snows too.
I wish we could wake up and have Spring here! :)

[Inchworm]

47. G'mornin

Sorry about dude, boo!

If my memory is right, Carmen was the opera I liked most. Of course my exposure to opera is limited, but Carmen rings a bell.

I hit the snooze button 4x! It was so comfy I didn't want to get up ;)

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

52. Good morning Inchworm

only 4 times the snooze button??? Mine gets used a lot. Let's see. Alarm goes off at 6.20am, I get up around 7.15am ... every 7 minutes the alarm goes off ... 50-60 minutes .... 7 to 8 times the snooze button :rofl:

I saw that performance on the lake stage in Bregenz (Lake Constance)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

50. Good Morning MissHc

Thanks for the link :)

Everything is cooler in Europe, even the cemetaries.

It is cold here and my sinus do not like it :( Other than that all is good. Shocco is at my feet, napping and Shiloh is out enjoying the cold morning air. Silly cat :D

:donut: :hug: :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

53. Good morning Tuesday

:hi: : loveya: :hug:

You have cool cemetaries in the U.S. as well. I know it. I've seen them :)

sorry about your sinuses ... that sucks. I know how it feels. :hug:

AirmensMom told me it snowed where she lives and the kitties went out to a snow adventure :rofl:
