[KitchenWitch]

1. Hey, the headlines are a nice addition!

I see mine got top billing!

:rofl:

[Heidi]

7. I learned in my long journalism career to lead the news briefs

with "ass" whenever possible. :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

9. it is definitely a grabber!

:rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

2. Hey Heidi.

[Heidi]

10. Hi, Crazy!

Thanks for stopping in of your own accord!

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Sweet, I'm here on time for once!

[Heidi]

11. I was just about to count you "absent."

:rofl:

Another school day? :pals:

[ghostsofgiants]

22. Nope, long weekend this weekend...

Day off because of Thanksgiving. Quite nice.

[enigmatic]

4. Hey Heidi!

:hug:

I'm stuffed to the feathers w/ our Thanksgiving Turkey and Mrs E's homemade Pumpkin Pie; man, it was goooooooooooooood.........

[Heidi]

6. I'll hug you gently, then . . .

since one whiff of turkey/pumpkin pie burp might send me right over the edge. :rofl:

:* How ya doin, my friend? :hug:

[enigmatic]

12. I'm doing great

I've got a very busy week in banquets next week so I'm programming as much as I can this coming week. Mrs E and I are going to a "ghost" tour in town tomorrow night; that should be pretty fun...

How are you and Mr. Heidi?

[Heidi]

16. Ghost town tour?

Coooooooooooool! Report back tomorrow, OK?

Mr. Heidi and I are fine. He has begun entertaining the notion of tripling the size of our koi pond, a project which would involve relocating our water and waste pipes. Oh, good. :eyes: :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

17. You have a koi pond? Cool!!

[Heidi]

19. Oh, yes.

It's one of Mr. Heidi's "toys." :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

24. Wow, I love it!

I had a doctor when I was growing up who's waiting area looked like an atrium. Lots of tall plants, and a square koi "creek" with a bench all around it. He was a pediatrician/surgeon, and I was never scared going to his office because it was wonderful! I always think of him when I see koi.

[enigmatic]

23. You got it

I'm a total buff for that kind of stuff, so I'm looking forward to it in a big way:)

[Wapsie B]

5. Hello Heidi!

:hi:

:hug:

But isn't Generalissimo Franco still dead? ;-)

[Heidi]

13. I'll have to check with my Spanish news sources.

Good, insightful mainstream journalism question! :thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

8. Hooray, time for Heidi and The Nighthawks!

Hello, dear!

:loveya: :hug:

Lets rock!

[Heidi]

14. Well on your way to 21,000 posts, I see!

:rofl: Anyone in the DU Jr. Chat tonight?

:hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

15. LOL!

Yeah, I can hear them. I'm hoping Crazy or WC will be my escort!

:rofl:

[Heidi]

18. I actually believe Crazy, WC and Floogeldy

should join forces to start a DU escort service. What would be a good name for such a venture? :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

20. Mmmmm, gonna think on that for a minute or two.....

We probably shouldn't leave the name up to them! :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear Heidi...I'm still up, and I'm checking in for the first/last

time this week......Until Friday, anyhow.....

This place is so fucking addicting that I haven't packed yet! I did not leave myself enough time, between posting and the laundry, to get to the packing...

Oh well, it won't take long...just basics, and for four days only.....

Good to see you, as always!


:loveya:

[billyskank]

25. Good morning Heidi!

:loveya:

And other nighthawks! :hi:

[Heidi]

[SeattleGirl]

27. Hi billy!

I'm ready to party!





Was anxiously awaiting your arrival!

[billyskank]

29. Hi SeattleGirl!

:hi: What's the occasion? :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

30. My "Almost 50th Birthday" Party

earlier this evening. I'll be in Las Vegas on my actual birthday next Saturday, so my daughter and her boyfriend came over tonight so we could celebrate here early. :party:

[billyskank]

31. Woo hoo!

:woohoo: Happy birthday! :party:

[SeattleGirl]

32. Thank you, sir!

:party: :toast:

[billyskank]

33. Well, gotta be off

See you later!

(Well, see you in about 45 minutes probably...:hide:)

[Heidi]

34. Look busy!

That's the key! :hi:

[Draill]

35. I'm gonna sit over here -------->

quietly. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

36. Aw, come on!

Dance to the music!

[Draill]

38. Dancing will have to wait

until some night that I've been drinking. :P

[SeattleGirl]

40. Well.....okay.

Do you mind if the band keeps playing? You can just tap your foot in time to the music.

[Heidi]

37. Hi, Draill!

I sometimes like to just sit and "people watch," too. :hi:

[Draill]

39. There is certainly some prime people watching material

here in the lounge. Lawdy, lawdy!

[Fox Mulder]

41. I hope I'm not too late for the party!

How's it going tonight?

:) :hi:

[Heidi]

43. Hi, Fox!

:hug: How ya doin'?

[AVulgarianHue]

42. Hey Heidi

:rofl:
Great recap!

[Heidi]

44. Girlfriend!

:hug: Thanks! Feel free to send me tips for future Nighthawks Newsbriefs, even if you have to just make something up. :rofl:

[AVulgarianHue]

45. well, i was wondering...

if your escort service suggestion was for reporting purposes....

[Heidi]

46. I think you've discovered a new profit center

for KW, Crazy, WC and Floog! So far, "snark" is the only service. :rofl:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4129204&mesg_id=4129304

[AVulgarianHue]

47. Profit in snark?

Damn, I should be a wealthy woman. If only Khash had told me...

[Heidi]

[SeattleGirl]

54. I'll be back in action on the 18th

But I'll be thinking about you!

[MrScorpio]

50. Hey, Swiss Miss

How are your marshmallows doing?

[Heidi]

52. Funny you should ask!

I just received all of my US fall/winter cooking supplies, marshmallows included! :bounce:

How're you, my friend? How's the radio show going? (For some reason, I can't access your show. :cry: )

[MrScorpio]

53. The show is great

I have an all French on tap for this week

Gonna be goood!

Try accessing it through iTunes

[SeattleGirl]

55. Kickin' just because I can!

Plus, I need somebody to dance with!

[Heidi]

56. Please! Dance with my sister-in-law's cat!

He's driving me crazy this morning!

[SeattleGirl]

57. OMG!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Heidi]

60. Even sadder,

he is my cat's brother. :cry: There is only a _slight_ resemblance. Here's my Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger:

[SeattleGirl]

63. Excellent Boy Cat sure has glowing eyes!

And does a great imitation of a wet noodle!

[AVulgarianHue]

59. SeattleGirl..tell CG

you have a crush on him and to come over and dance with you!

[SeattleGirl]

61. Sssshhhh, no one's supposed to know!

:rofl:

[AVulgarianHue]

65. True...

but he's been known to cry.:-(

[Wapsie B]

58. Hello Heidi!

:hi: :hug:

[Heidi]

66. bushwentawol!

:hug: (I forgot to reply to your question: the chocolate cake turned out beautifully, and my goddaughter didn't get any batter on the ceiling of my kitchen. It was a successful venture. :thumbsup: )

[Wapsie B]

71. That's good to hear.

A chef is born. :)

[WCGreen]

62. 2:22 AM and I am up and running....

[Heidi]

64. Hello, dah-link!

:* :hug:

[WCGreen]

69. Top off the morning to you Misses.....

And how are you feeling this grand and glorious day...

[Heidi]

73. It's an ugly day here, Chris . . .

overcast and threatening rain on my least favorite day of the week. :eyes:

How are you, my friend? :hug:

[WCGreen]

82. I threw my back out....

And didn;t think to buy a new one....

I am walking around like Quasimodo.....

[SeattleGirl]

67. Hey WC!

[WCGreen]

68. Morning Dove....

[SeattleGirl]

70. How are you today?

I'm great -- less than 48 hours 'till I blast off for Vegas!

[WCGreen]

83. Psst.....

Don't go to the Chicken Ranch...

They will keep you and make you the main money maker...


JUst a tip....

[billyskank]

72. Morning all

*yawn* I can't seem to wake up today. My body is out of bed, but my mind is still there... :(

[SeattleGirl]

74. Hi billy!

I had a day like that last week...felt like I was on sleeping pills all day!!

Maybe this will help (turn up the volume):

[billyskank]

76. Hi SeattleGirl!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

77. Hey, would you like to sit in with the band?

[billyskank]

79. I forgot my sax!

x(

[SeattleGirl]

84. Well, dang!

Maybe tomorrow?

[billyskank]

85. Okay

[SeattleGirl]

86. All right! We're jammin' now!

Wow, really adds a lot to the sound!

[Heidi]

75. Are you the guy in this video, billy?

http://www.compfused.com/directlink/950/

[billyskank]

78. Something like that

Although my job doesn't look as interesting as his...

[Heidi]

80. Too funny!

Mr. Heidi used to do his own programming, but now he contracts it out to people more patient and intelligent than him. :rofl:

:hug: Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday, my friend!

[billyskank]

81. That's a good idea

Yesterday one of my programs stopped working, and it was for no good reason at all. I eventually stared at it in bemusement for an hour, and then it started working again. This is what my life is like.


Thanks, Heidi. :hug:

[Tom Kitten]

87. Hello!

Just checking in to say I'm just checking in, and Heidi I cannot believe how Wyss you are!

[Heidi]

88. Hi, Tom!

:hug: At least you didn't accuse me of being Swiss. :rofl:

[Tom Kitten]

89. of course not !

that's just a cheesey idea, full of holes...in my opinion just a desperate cry for Alp...

[enigmatic]

90. kick!

What up?

[Tafiti]

91. Nuttin'.

Sitting here perusing the Lounge threads, feeling kinda lost.

What's up with you? :hi:

[enigmatic]

92. Hey Tafiti!

Don't feel lost; we're friendly folk here in the late of night:) Got a musical request? My overnight radio show is on right now and I play everything, so knock yourself out!

[Tafiti]

95. Oh, I know!

The Nighthawks are the best! I haven't been around as of late, but I've joined in a few.

Shit, anything huh? Hmmmm...just thought of a random song that I absolutely love - Stone Temple Pilot's "And So I Know" from their Tiny Music album. The guitar solo is absolutely perfect. :thumbsup:

[enigmatic]

97. I gots some STP here

Let's see if I can find it...

[Tafiti]

100. Sweet! (nt)

[Heidi]

94. Hi, Tafiti!

I'm sorry you're feeling lost, my friend.

Here, have a :hug: and a complimentary compass:

[Tafiti]

98. Awww....

...that was incredibly kind of you, Heidi! :hug:

But maybe "lost" is being a bit dramatic. I usually find a few interesting threads and post, but I found myself just bouncing around and just reading others' posts. No worries, I'm not upset or anything. :)

[enigmatic]

99. Hey Heidi!

:hug:

The ghost walk was pretty fun; heard some great stories and talked to the guide at the end and the station put a link to her site on the front page..

How are you?

[Heidi]

101. w00t!

I'm so glad you had a good time, e!

I'm OK . . . cold, though, and I have to clean house because I have someone coming this afternoon to look at paintings. :bounce:

[enigmatic]

103. whoa!

More potential sales??? Way to go!!

[SeattleGirl]

93. Hi, Heidi!!!

I fear I have lost the band. :cry:

[Heidi]

96. You look just fine without the band.

Don't cry! Ya know, you couldn't possibly drag that whole band to Vegas!

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

104. Actually, I was going to leave the band home to

entertain the dog and the cats! :rofl:

[Heidi]

106. Good idea!

Leverage smilie synergy however possible! :thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

108. Well, we don't want the animals to get too lonely!

Besides, Chloe the Dog does a mean jitterbug! :rofl:

[Wapsie B]

102. Hello Heidi!

:hi: :hug:

[Heidi]

105. Hi, bushwentawol!

Thanks for the hug. I'm freezing to death, and might just build a fire in the fireplace! :scared: <------- That's cold, not scared.

[Wapsie B]

107. It's nice and chilly here too

although warmer than it has been.

[Draill]

109. Hi all.

:hi:

[Tafiti]

110. Hey fellow Hoosier!

Saw your little bubble on that DU Frapper map. :)

[Draill]

113. Cool! That was kinda fun.

Did you add yourself, too?

[Tafiti]

116. Not yet.

I was going to, I just didn't feel like it at the time. :shrug:

So, how do you feel about Indiana. Like it? Hate it? Little of both? Just curious. :)

[Draill]

118. I'm not real fond of it, really.

I cant' speak for the entire state though, I haven't travelled through most of it.

[Tafiti]

120. Agreed...

...though I have been through most of it. I've lived here for 14 years now, but I definitely would like to get out of here at some point in the not-so-distant future.

It's a love-hate thing. You know how it goes. :)

[Heidi]

111. Howdy, Draill!

How was your Tuesday? :pals:

[Draill]

115. Not too bad, Heidi.

How was yours?

[SeattleGirl]

112. Hey Draill!

:hi:

[Draill]

114. Are you in Vegas yet?

How long are you staying?

[SeattleGirl]

117. I'll be there Wednesday night.

Coming back late Monday night! Woohoo, can't wait!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Draill]

119. Have a great time! n/t

[SeattleGirl]

131. That is definitely the plan!

:party:

[billyskank]

121. Hi Nighthawks

Quiet in here! :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

122. billyboy!!!

How are you, dear???? :loveya:

[billyskank]

123. I'm ok, thanks!

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

126. Good to hear!

:pals:

[AVulgarianHue]

128. Now that you've said billyboy...

will admit to a continuing earworm: can she bake a cherry pie, Billy boy, Billy boy? Can she bake a cherry pie, charming Billy?
:blush:

[SeattleGirl]

133. Oh, you just had to do that, didn't you?

:rofl:

[Tafiti]

124. What's up billyskank?

Yeah, it is kinda quiet - the thread was kicked, then faded rather fast. Are you here to rescue it? :)

[billyskank]

125. Well, I'll do my best

But I can only hang here for a few more minutes. Then I must go to work. :(

[Tafiti]

127. Ah, well that sucks.

Do you like your job at least?

[billyskank]

129. I don't *dislike* it

at certain times, I like it. I guess that puts me ahead of average! :7

[Tafiti]

130. No doubt!

Well, hey. As they say, "it could be worse"!

Hopefully this day will be one of those times when you like it. :thumbsup:

[Az]

132. Hey there nighthawks

Whats going on out there tonight?

[SeattleGirl]

134. Hi Az! The bad news is, I have lost the band!

:cry:

But I will continue my search for it!

[Az]

135. We got a band wandering around in our basement here

Could be the one you lost.

[SeattleGirl]

136. I hope so!

I usually access them in cyberspace, but have not been able to do so tonight. I am so :cry:

[SeattleGirl]

137. OMG!!! THE BAND IS BACK!!!!!!

Day-am!!!! Hey, Heidi, when you get back from shopping, the band will be IN THE HOUSE!!!!

[Heidi]

138. Hello, Nighthawks!

[Floogeldy]

139. Jello, Heidi.

Much love.

:)

[Heidi]

140. Jello, my friend.

I've missed you. :hi:

[Floogeldy]

141. Well, that's funny.

Because you've had me wrapped around your little finger the whole time!

;)

[Heidi]

142. .

Check your PMs. I just sent you some "local news." :eyes:

[gmoney]

143. I'm honored Heidi

...honored that my tattoo thread made the Nighthawks News Briefs! Pretty good for someone who doesn't even have a tattoo.

If I may prevail upon the collective wisdom of the Nighthawks, I'd enjoy getting everyone's take on an opportunity prompted by another thread regarding first crushes -- one of mine may still be available and local! For the sordid details: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4143931&mesg_id=4144404

Three cheers for Heidi!! Hooray, hooray, hooray!! :toast: :hug:

[Heidi]

146. Let me compliment you, too,

on your fine contribution to an ageist, sexist rant that was locked earlier. :yourock: , my friend.

:* :hug: :loveya:

[gmoney]

147. Aw, shucks...

...somehow, I knew which side of that you'd be on. I just asked myself "what would Heidi do?"

See, I'm learning! :hug:

[Heidi]

150. I have to be careful what I saw about that locked thread,

I guess, lest I violate the rules. But it burned me up, for obvious reasons. :grr:

(Don't ask yourself what I would do. You have a perfectly reliable ethical compass of your own, g. :thumbsup: )

[enigmatic]

148. Hey Heidi!

:hug:

How's my favorite artist?

[Heidi]

149. Hey!

:hug: :* :bounce:

I'm good, but cold. How're you, my friend:

[enigmatic]

151. Purty good...

trying to get this weekend's programming together since I'll be working all weekend! Check your PM if you haven't yet:)

[Heidi]

152. I check it earlier . . .

thank you. You've saved me from feeling goofy as I write a note to two good friends. ;)

[KitchenWitch]

144. Hi Heidi, I wrote a song!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4144360

[Heidi]

145. Kicked and nominated, gf!

:yourock:

[Wapsie B]

153. Hello Heidi!

:hi: :hug:


Just please don't do anything rash tonight like grocery shopping. You had us all scared there.

;-)

[Heidi]

154. I promise you:

no more grocery shopping (ever again until next week).

:hug: :*
