Guten Morgen / Gute Nacht

[ffm172]

it is almost 9.30am here and I just want to say hello to all you out there still awake!
I enjoy your company :hug:

[xmas74]

1. Hi!

Just looking at the wonderful FDR threads.

[ffm172]

2. Hi

haven't read them yet. Maybe I should. How are you. I answered your IM from last night in a pm here :)

Thanky ou :hug:

[xmas74]

3. I need to check the pms then!

FDR threads made me cry. I remember my grandfather talking about him all the time. His death is still too recent-kind of like a scab just forming.
I have to be happy that he didn't make it to see * latest inaugaral-he would have had a fit to have heard him compared to FDR and JFK!

[ffm172]

5. I am sure FDR is turning in his grave right now

with everything that is going on.

[xmas74]

10. I bet he is! The country he loved so much is in the

process of being disassembled.

[ffm172]

13. I don't know too much about FDR

reading a biography might not be too bad ;)

[xmas74]

14. Very good idea!

He was president for four terms (last term he died while in office). He was the creator of so many social programs-of which Social Security is a part. And, of course, WWII goes w/o mention. Highly progressive for his times-and now the freepers are writing articles stating that he prolonged the depression instead of ending it. What disgusting people they really are!

[ffm172]

17. makes me questioning who lost the grip of the reality

I would say it ain't the Dems

[xmas74]

19. Pukes have been wanting to end SS

pretty much since the program was implemented. Now they have their golden boy and they think that they have a chance.
There are some wonderful bios about FDR out there-and Bouncy posted about the new Life which has a 60th anniversary tribute to him that just came out on the news stands (I'm going to pick it up in the morning).

[ffm172]

21. I think I check one out in German

as good as my English is (and I love to read English), some books I rather read in German

Do you think * gets through with his plans? At the moment I have the feeling there are big resentments

[xmas74]

22. I hope that it will be blocked by

both Dems and some Republicans but you never know.

[ffm172]

23. when is the discussion and decision about it in the congress?

[xmas74]

24. Not really sure.

They seem more worried about making Palm Sunday decisions about a private family member instead of discussing a real issue.

[ffm172]

25. a red herring?

because they KNOW they can't win it

[xmas74]

29. Exactly.

But it is also losing them points w/ the American public. Bad move.

[ffm172]

31. good move for the Dems

to make a politicum of such asituation is disgusting

[xmas74]

32. They haven't had to do any work on this at all.

The powers that be have done all of the work themselves.

[ffm172]

33. couple more of such incidents

and * is gone or at least the chances for the Dems in the next election are rising

[xmas74]

35. Hopefully!

[Huckebein the Raven]

4. Hello

:hi:

[ffm172]

6. hello back

:hi:

how are you today/tonight?

[Huckebein the Raven]

7. Rested. I slept from 7pm to midnight

[ffm172]

8. good to hear

do you always sleep hours like that?

[Huckebein the Raven]

9. Not frequently

[ffm172]

11. what are your usual hours

or don't you have any?

[Huckebein the Raven]

15. Typically, on weekdays I get up at 6am

and go to bed at 2am. On the weekends, I sleep in until 10 or 11am.

[ffm172]

16. Since I work frequent hours

I find it hard to sleep past 9am on the weekends. I wake up at my normal hours and sometimes manage to turn around and keep sleeping but it happens more and more often that I can't go back to sleep. I then take a nap in the afternoon. :)

[Huckebein the Raven]

18. A good afternoon nap is always nice

[ffm172]

20. yep, I agree with that

:)

for me sometimes sleep helps to escape problems. Only problem with that is the minute I wake up I have the same problems, nothing solved :(

[ffm172]

12. dupe

[Swamp Rat]

26. Guten Macht

:D

It's almost daylight... time to get in the coffin. ;)

[ffm172]

27. good night

sleep tight ... hope there is no garlic around :)

[Swamp Rat]

28. Actually, I just ate a lotta garlic and a huge sack of spicy crawfish...

:9 ... I'm a New World, Creole Vampire. :D

[ffm172]

30. now for that I have to hit you

:spank:
because I can't get that here in Germany and I LOVE seafood

[Freebird12004]

34. Guten Morgen

time check? 6:01 AM

:hug: to you too
:donut: will be ready in 10 minutes

[ffm172]

36. good morning

just got back from the pat of my lunchbreak when I buy me something to eat. Now is the part when I eat :)

how are you today?

[Freebird12004]

39. enjoy your lunch

I'm looking forward to today!

There's more snow on the way tonight but I'm going out later just because I can. :bounce::bounce::bounce:

The interesting thing about the way I react to weather is after the daytime temperatures hover around 40 degrees for a few days I don't seem to feel the cold as much. Geeezzzzzz maybe I have reptilian blood in me. :evilgrin: Perhaps I really am a lizard not just the lounge variety.

[ffm172]

41. I enjoyed my lunch

now it is back to work, even though I am not really in the mood (wonder why :eyes: ) ...

go out, winter days can be nice. We have spring weather here. Clouds and sun. More clouds at the moment. Fits my mood.

[Freebird12004]

43. My trike is lonely too

The Beautiful Beast lost it's garage mate yesterday. The Sportster went for one sweet last rumble-on ride back for the trade-in. I followed in my Tracker and for the entire trip ~ I felt every curve in the road as if I was there on 3 wheels instead of 4 ***sigh***soon...Very Soon

[ffm172]

46. you will be be on your trike soon

I am sure. I go to my aunt either tomorrow evening or Friday morning in my little green car



Edit: don't ask who this guy is, no idea. Just got the pic from the net

[Freebird12004]

47. Looks like you'll be having fun and Saving Gas too

That's a wonderful little car! It must handle well and you should be able to go many miles on a gallon of gas. My Geo ten years ago was exactly the same color. You have excellent taste.:thumbsup:

Will there be other family members visiting with you and your aunt this weekend?

[ffm172]

48. it will be just me and my aunt

her cats and the neighborhood cats that love to visit her place.

I like my car. The color I didn't choose. I make the joke, that the car is very easy to find. But there are more cars with that color. I can speed up to 160 km/h. And go about 600 km on a full tank. I think it is about 6-8 l/km. Not sure

[Freebird12004]

51. That information could lead to cat jokes

:evilgrin:

[ffm172]

52. that is fine

can deal with that :)

[LynzM]

37. Guten Morgen!

Was gibt's zum Mittagessen? :)

[ffm172]

38. Tortellini in tomato sauce

that food will be my downfall. They just taste too great.

[LynzM]

49. Yum!

That sounds terrific :)

[ffm172]

50. I can eat pasta every day

only downfall, it is not really nutritious.

[steve2470]

40. Guten morgen from rainy Orlando ! nt

[ffm172]

42. Guten Tag from a cloudy Frankfurt

sun tries to get through so. But has no big chances. and it is going to stay that way over Eastern. Oh well.

How are you this morning?

[sasquatch]

44. Morgen Bier!? Nein, jah!?

:beer:

[ffm172]

45. give me a whisky

you can get me with that better than with beer.

[Stop_the_War]

53. Guten Tag n/t

[ffm172]

54. Hallo
