[CaliforniaPeggy]

My dear Heidi!

How lovely to see you...How are your painting projects coming?

I hope well, my dear...

Floog just started the sweetest thread about me....I can't believe how sweet he is being to me tonight!

Good to see you, as always, my dear gf!

:loveya: :hug:

[Heidi]

4. My sweet gf . . .

I saw Floog's "I wish they all could be CaliforniaPeggy" thread; well-deserved, indeed.

Are you feeling a little blue tonight? My PM box is always open, you know.

:hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thank you Heidi...and please check whenever you like........

:hug:

[enigmatic]

1. Hey Heidi!!

:hug:

I kept missing you the past few days; I saw your latest painting and it's fantastic as usual:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear enigmatic.....

How did you sneak in ahead of me? VERY clever, my dear!

Hope all is well with you.....:loveya:

[enigmatic]

8. Hey Peggy!

:hug:

I'm doing good; I hope you are too!

It's going to be another rough week at the other job, but that's ok; Mrs E will be reaping the Christmas Gift benefits:)

[Heidi]

3. Hello, my friend.

I sent your package on Saturday (have I told you that? I'm still sleepy!)

Thank you for your kind words about the painting. I'm in the mood for a tranquil series just now, so maybe this is a good start.

Are you back to a long cycle of work now? :hug:

[enigmatic]

6. Right on!

You'rs is going out this week; I'm waiting on one thing before I send it:)

My work week starts again tomorrow; it's going to be another "fun" one :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

34. Hey enigmatic!

How's it going?? Can the band play a song for you?

[enigmatic]

45. Hey SG!

:hug:

I'm diggin' that gif; the drummer in it plays better than most of the ones in my old bands!:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

55. Only the best for The Nighthawks!

[Omphaloskepsis]

5. Good morning/evening...

Now the real question is.. How the hell do I get drool out of my tie?

[Heidi]

12. Why are you drooling?

Is this a medical condition, and what fabric is the tie?

:hug:

[Omphaloskepsis]

17. A head that likes to drool currently resides in my lap..

And the tie is silk. I just lack the heart to move her. It is cute as hell.

[Heidi]

27. I know what you mean.

Let kitty drool. The dry-cleaner can take care of your tie. :thumbsup:

[Omphaloskepsis]

39. It is not a cat with the weak lower lip.. It is a real person..

It's like a god damn river now.. She sneezed on my face one time while we slept.. I didn't mind. It was cute. I can barely stop myself from laughing my ass off right now. But she owes me 60$ for a new tie..

[Heidi]

50. Make a mental note to take it out of her inheritance!

That's what I do when The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger cutely destroys stuff. :rofl:

[Omphaloskepsis]

69. I think a nice back-rub might be...

a proper punishment for her crimes against silk.. I hope she doesn't file an appeal. I'm kinda sore right now.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

7. Heidi!

:yourock:

how are you tonight/this morning?

[Heidi]

13. Hello, MAHNY!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

22. keep the coffee away please!

I need to get to bed soon. I had a good day. long at work. now i gonna get ready for bed soon. any fun plans today?

[Heidi]

35. MAHNY . . .

I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I plan my days. :rofl: Joking. As a matter of fact, I plan to paint all day. :bounce:

I wish you sweet dreams . . . :hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

41. I wish I could paint all day

[bridgit]

9. nico lyrics for: Nighthawks XXV = frozen warnings ~

Friar hermit stumbles over
The cloudy borderline
Frozen warnings close to mine
Close to the frozen borderline
Frozen warnings close to mine
Close to the frozen borderline

Into numberless reflections
Rises a smile from your eyes into mine
Frozen warnings close to mine
Close to the frozen borderline
Frozen warnings close to mine
Close to the frozen borderline

Over railroad station tracks
Faintly flickers a modest cry
From without a thousand cycles
A thousand cycles to come
A thousand times to win
A thousand ways to run the world
In a similar reply

Friar hermit stumbles over
The cloudy borderline
Frozen warnings close to mine
Close to the frozen borderline
Frozen warnings close to mine
Close to the frozen borderline

Close to the frozen borderline
Close to the frozen borderline
Close to the frozen borderline

:hi:

[Heidi]

14. Mornin', sunshine!

There's my dah-link brigit! ;* :hug: :loveya:

[bridgit]

23. Heidi...

:hug: :loveya: hoping your day going well; they lovers, trundle on as you are aware :thumbsup:

[enigmatic]

28. oh yeah...

She was a Goddess...

http://www.bahia.hu:2000/cuccok/dinamikus/zenekarok/nico.jpg

[bridgit]

38. that's the girl alright = troubled, disturbed, vacuous, infinate...

vast oceanic beauty, wildly sought after & completely alone = nico :cry:


enigmatic :hi:

[enigmatic]

42. I love that record

"It Was A Pleasure Then" is one of my all-time favorite songs; I should put that on the show tomorrow..

[bridgit]

48. yes sir, please do, i like her: Nibelungen, as well...

Since the first of you and me asleep
In a Nibelungen land
Titanic curses trap me in
A banishment of stay
Symbols vanish from my senses
Stem and stave the view appears

Symbols captured in a trance
Vanish from my glance
For the various defenses
I enforce a strike the alarm
For the various defences
That choose to be here and there
And lose the direction everywhere

Since the first of you and me asleep
In a Nibelungen land where we cannot be
Almond trees grow along the mountain trail
From their tongues the words are spelling
The telling numb

I cannot hear it anymore
I cannot hear it anymore

Since the first of you and me here and there
We lose the direction everywhere
Shrieking city sun shiver in my veins
In flames I run
In flames I run
Waiting for the sign to come

Will you spell the words for me
Will you spell the words for me to hear
Nibelungen
Nibelungen
Nibelungen land

[Tafiti]

10. Hello, dear Heidi!

All is well, I hope? :pals:

[Heidi]

15. Hey, Tafiti! I love your

Bill Hicks sig line. He was one of my all-time faves. :yourock:

How ya doin? How was your birthday! :pals:

[Tafiti]

26. Oh Heidi...

I love you even more now! :loveya: Bill Hicks was the shit. How awesome could he be right now, given the times we're living in? His loss was tragic, but he's still relevant over a decade later.

I'm doing great! :) My birthday was alright I guess, definitely not eventful, but what can you do on a Sunday? :shrug: I got some phone calls from some peeps I haven't talked to in awhile, so that was nice. :)

[Heidi]

32. Mr. Hicks did know how to rise to the challenges, didn't he?

I'm glad you had a good birthday. At 42, I think I'm at a place in life where tranquil has more value than "eventful," but phone calls from friends and family always are nice. :huh:

[Tafiti]

40. 42?!

I've seen your picture before, and I would've never guessed you were 42. If it was a recent picture, you look 10 years younger...

Well, I didn't mind that it wasn't "eventful." I'm 25 now, real mature and all! :D It just felt like another day, pretty laid back, and I didn't mind at all. :)

[Heidi]

49. Ha!

Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner, folks, and it's Tafiti, aka "guy who thinks Heidi looks 10 years younger than her chronological age." :rofl:

[Tafiti]

61. Damn.

I wasn't just saying that to be nice, I'm serious!

But now you're making me feel stupid. :blush:

[Heidi]

63. You're still the winner.

First person to make me blush this morning.

And you're far from stupid. I'm 42. I know these things. :evilgrin:

[Tafiti]

71. Is that an accomplishment?

Now I really do feel like a winner. :)

BTW, I saw your "Bambu" painting, which was the first one I've ever seen, and it was fantastic. Truly. :thumbsup:

[Heidi]

73. Yes, that's an accomplishment.

And thanks for your kind words about the painting. I like that one, too. :blush:

[Tafiti]

75. Just to make you blush a little more...

...and so I could see it again, I dug it out from yesterday!



How long have you been painting?

[Heidi]

78. .

I began painting about five years ago; started exhibiting about four years ago.

(As I was telling SeattleGirl yesterday, the more I look at the painting, the more I notice that the top turning edge of the bamboo isn't _quite_ right. Hmmm.)

[Tafiti]

82. Wow!!!

You must be a natural, especially since you started exhibiting a year after you started! You're incredibly talented, Heidi. :thumbsup:

As far as your second-guessing, you're your own worst critic, I suppose. Mine eye may be untrained, but it looks flawless to me. :)

[Heidi]

86. Thank you, Tafiti.

I always like the work to be as close to perfect as possible so that, after a painting has a new home, there are no little "quirks" to disturb the owner's enjoyment. :shrug:

(The other reason is, I don't want to visit one of my paintings and its owner in 10 years and have to say, "Wow, that's crap. Can I offer you a refund?" :rofl: )

[Tafiti]

92. Pssshh.

You're being modest. You know full well that would never happen. Besides, as meticulous as you seem to be, I'm guessing you wouldn't sell a painting you weren't completely happy with in the first place, eh?

I'd be the same way. I'm a perfectionist to a fault sometimes.

[Az]

11. Hey there!

This Battlestar Galactica is good stuff. DVRs. Let you watch things on your schedule. But they can put you way behind everyone else on the good stuff.

[Heidi]

16. Arrrrrrrrrrgh. Science-fiction-fan alert!

:rofl: Do NOT say "Battlestar Galactica"! You'll wake Mr. Heidi! :rofl:

[Az]

66. Ahem *cough* *cough*

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

[Heidi]

68. Um,

he can't hear you over his own snoring. So there.

:spank:

[SeattleGirl]

37. Hi Az!

:hi:

[southlandshari]

18. Hey! Look what I found!!

How goes it tonight, darlin'?

[Heidi]

20. Hey, that building represents

a universe of handheld pie!

[SeattleGirl]

19. Hello Heidi and all the Nighthawks!

How are you tonight?

[Heidi]

24. It's SeattleGirl and the Band!

Hiya, gf! I'm OK. Ginger is curled up at my feet, and my mother-in-law's cat just sneaked in looking for snacks. Ginger will take care of _him_ in short order. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

31. Sounds like my dog Chloe and Baby Cat, one of our 3 kitties

Goofy Baby doesn't always remember that if she walks at a normal pace across the floor, Chloe will just watch her, but if she gets the kitty skitties and runs, Chloe goes after her! :rofl:

[Floogeldy]

25. BAWK!

BAWK!



HAWK!

[Heidi]

29. What a beautiful bird!

BAWK rightbackatcha, my friend. :* :hug: :loveya:

[Floogeldy]

46. Scientists are hard at work . . .

. . . attempting to map the Nighthawk's brain.



Thanks for the Nighthawk threads, Heidi! :pals:

[Heidi]

56. There are some things that science

will never be able to explain, Floog.

You're more than welcome, my friend. :hug:

[IChing]

30. I hope your day is breaking without rain or fog

and only sunshine is yours to develop into the new day,
in the grasps of fall
when the sun
goes into

its, fall thing

[Heidi]

33. Hello, my friend IChing!

No rain, no fog, so far. I'm glad to know you're back in your apartment after months of being displaced, IChing. Is it a good feeling?

:hug:

[IChing]

44. read my post...in this forum

[IChing]

47. i guess, its another way saying pay attention to my post too

[Heidi]

53. I think I'm confused . . .

but I don't mean to be. I just woke up and haven't finished my morning caffeine infusion.

But you know I :loveya: , IChing!

[IChing]

58. well check

[Heidi]

[alarcojon]

51. Hi everyone

Hate to nighthawk and run, but I'm off to bed. Still coming off a cold, and I have to teach tomorrow morning.

Y'all take care.

[Heidi]

57. Sleep well, alarcojon.

I'll send ya some "kick out the cold" vibes. :pals:

[alarcojon]

65. I can deal with that.

and good to see the Nighthawks still going strong.

[Tafiti]

64. Feel better soon, my man. n/t

[alarcojon]

67. Thanks, Tafiti

I hope to. Sorry your b'day wasn't more exciting.

[Tafiti]

70. Nah.

It was fine, I wasn't disappointed or anything. It was on a Sunday, which is usually spent watching football for a full half-day. And that's exactly what I did. :)

Although, a little mastuba would've been nice. :D

[Wapsie B]

52. Hello Heidi!

:hi: :hug:

[Heidi]

59. Mister Iowa!

:hug: :hi:

[Wapsie B]

60. Yours truly.

:)

[SeattleGirl]

74. So tonight, my 2 year old nephew sang "The Star Spangled Banner"

to me over the phone. It was so damned cute! On my birthday last Saturday, he left a voicemail on my cell phone, singing "Happy Birthday" to me. I've saved that one! Makes me smile to just hear it!

Who else has wonderful, delightful young 'un's in their lives?

[Tafiti]

76. I have 2 nephews and a niece.

This summer, my 3-year-old nephew suddenly blurted out over dinner:

"I don't like chocolate milk! It's not fluids!"

We busted up laughing, because we knew exactly where it came from. My brother (his dad) is really health-conscious, and when it's hot out, and they'd ask him for chocolate milk, he'd always tell them no. They need to drink juice or water because they need fluids when it's hot outside. :)

[SeattleGirl]

80. They are so literal, aren't they?

When he visited us this summer, my husband bought him some animal flashcards. I was going through them with our nephew, and he was naming "cow", "horse" "Pig" etc. Then we came to the the picture of a snake, which was curled to the left with the upper part and to the right with the lower part. He looked at it and said, "Donuts!" I about fell over laughing! His paternal grandmother, who takes care of him while mommy and daddy are at work, sometimes brings donuts to him in the morning, and so when he saw the double curls of the snake, he thought it was donuts! :rofl:

[Tafiti]

84. That's hilarious!

I just love teasing them, they say the funniest things. Both of my nephews have this thing (again, from their dad), where they'll just name cars that go by, by model. "That's a Maxima, that's a CRV, that's a Durango", etc. Once, when the oldest was 3 1/2 or 4, he was in a church daycare during a wedding, and the sitter was walking with him outside in the parking lot. He was walking past all the cars, naming every single one of them off! She was stunned! They pick up things so fast. :)

[AVulgarianHue]

77. I have small dogs

I sang "Star Eyes" to them the other night. They went crazy, jumping around, yipping... which turned to snarls and growls. Then fought with each other.

Made me feel like a witch with dark powers.}(

[SeattleGirl]

81. You evil person! LOL!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Heidi]

79. I do.

Two excellent nephews in the states, and who wonderful goddaughters who live across the street from us. :thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

83. They are priceless, aren't they?

We have two raised garden boxes in the yard, but did not plant anything this year. Before my nephew got here, I told my husband that our nephew was going to think they were sandboxes, as the two little girls next door to him have a sandbox. Sure enough, he and I were out in the yard and he saw the boxes, and said "Sand!" I said, "Dirt!" "Sand!" "Dirt!" We went back and forth on that for awhile. Several days later, my sister and my nephew were in the yard and he picked some grass, went over to the garden boxes, threw the grass in, and said "Dirt!!" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Heidi]

85. Yes, that's true.

Our goddaughters are being raised by their mom as sort of pagans, yet in school here they attend Catholic catechism once a week. One evening, when the youngest was about five years old, she called me husband on the phone.

"Götti (godfather), what's about this Adam and Eve and the snake?" she asked.

"Well, geez, Luisa, why don't you ask your mother?" Mr. Heidi suggested.

"I did ask her, and she told me call _you_," goddaughter replied.

We spent the evening cracking up (and rolling our eyes) about that one.

[SeattleGirl]

87. Good one!

I took my daughter to a meeting with me one time (not work related), and the guy sitting across from her was black. She was about 5 at the time. She looked at me and said, "Mommy, that man is black!" Everybody at the table just cracked up. The man to whom she referred said, "Wow, observant, isn't she?" and then laughed some more. I was initially somewhat embarassed, but it turned out to be pretty funny.

[Heidi]

89. Oh, yeah!

I was once in the grocery store with a friend's three-year-old, and in the aisle we passed a very tall black man. My little friend craned his neck about 180 degrees and yelled down the aisle to the guy, "Hi, Michael Jordon!"

The guy came walking up the aisle toward us, bent himself down to little-kid-height and shook my little friend's hand and said, "Nah, I'm not Michael Jordon, but I sure would like to have his money."

My little friend shook the guy's hand, looked really sad, and said, "But do you _know_ Michael Jordan?"

[SeattleGirl]

91. When I was about 5, my mother and I were driving through

downtown Tacoma, WA. It was a nice day, so mom had the windows rolled down. I was in the backseat, just behind her. I looked across the street, and there was a very obese woman in a bright red coat walking on the sidewalk. I yelled out, "Mommy, look at that really big fat lady!!" Sheesh my poor mother couldn't stuff me under the seat fast enough! To this day, I am hoping for that woman's forgiveness! :blush:

[IChing]

88. I need ,as all of us do, for we are, they are

woven in this tapestry of life.

[Heidi]

90. Exactly. (nt)

[billyskank]

93. Good morning!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

94. Good morning and good night, darlin' billy!

I was just saying goodnight to everyone! Hope you are well. :loveya:

[billyskank]

95. Goodnight SeattleGirl!

I am ok, thankyou. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

96. Good!

Take care of yourself! :hug:

[Heidi]

97. Good morning, billy!

How's your head today? Headache gone?

:hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya:
:hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya:
:hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[billyskank]

100. Hey, Heidi!

:loveya: Yes, my head is much better, thanks. :) :hug:

Gotta fly now for work! :hi:

[southlandshari]

104. Hey there, sweets!

[billyskank]

109. Hi shari!

:blush: :loveya:

[ghostsofgiants]

98. (primate1 strolls in fashionably late)

What's up, everyone? Heidi, a pleasure as always.

[Heidi]

99. p1!

Hello, my friend. How was your Monday? :pals:

[ghostsofgiants]

102. It was a pretty good Monday...

I am now free of exams and assignments for a couple of weeks, so that's nice. Had a folklore exam this morning, thus ending the academic reign of terror that has been keeping me busy the past two weeks, haha. I changed the wallpaper on my desktop, for the first time in months. And I watched Nosferatu The Vampyre. Fell asleep after that, so I slept early (it's about 5am now, probably won't be sleeping for a while now) and now here I am. I might try to do something creative before I have to get ready to go to class (at 10:30am).

[enigmatic]

101. Hey bro

Have you been watching NWA-TNA on Spike? Not bad, and I think that they've got a chance to put some real compitition to WWE..

[ghostsofgiants]

103. I didn't know they had a contract with Spike...

I haven't been watching TV much at all lately. What night/time? I'll have to start watching. I used to watch their PPV shows back when they first started, haven't seen much since then, though.

[enigmatic]

105. Saturday Nights at 9pm ET

One hour show, and much better than I was expecting....

[ghostsofgiants]

106. Cool, I'll have to keep it in mind when Saturday rolls around

[enigmatic]

107. one more thing

Missssterrrrrrr Keeennnneeedyyyyyyy.....



....Kennedyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....:)

[ghostsofgiants]

108. Hahaha, that really personalizes the wrestling experience for me

Good stuff.
