Good Wednesday Morning, Everybody!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Time to rise and shine and get this day started! I hope you're all doing well! Captain Clintmax with ya here and we're going to start off the early morning crew with a great "Get Your Butt Outta Bed Song"..."Mornin'" by Al Jarreau. (cue music) *singing* "Mornin mister radio, morning little cheerios..."

1. morning Clintmax

I am somewhat sad this morning. Has to do with something I watched last night and that brought back all the memories from my dad dieing 4 1/2 years ago. I shouldn't have watched it but it was interesting and I can say for sure we did the right thing back then.

2. Hello, Miss Honey.

I'm sorry you're feeling sad. I know how a program can invoke those kinds of feelings though, so I know what you're going through. I'm here for you...you know that. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. yes I know and thank you

these days I think a lot about my dad again and that he left way too soon. He was only 55 and had a brain tumor. We were with him when he died at home (we decided not to do anything and let him die in peace). I lived near where he was in the hospital and saw him slip away more and more for about half a year. I feel at peace at the decisions we made. I still miss him a lot though.

[Clintmax]

7. That's hard, I know.

We had to make the same decision with my Grandmother. I think about her all the time too. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

21. to make a decsion about life and death

is really a hard decision. But because of being there when my father died (and I was also there when my one grandfather died) I have no fear of the death anymore. Of course I don't wanna die and I am scared of the pain before the dieing. But the death itself is for me a part of life and it can be a beautiful thing when someone dies peacefully with the family around.

[Clintmax]

25. It sure is!

(A really hard decision). Time heals all wounds though. Or so the saying goes.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Not sure all wounds heal

they get less painful, but they are still there.

[Clintmax]

31. I heard THAT!

I feel the same way, my dear. They just don't EVER go all the way away.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. no they don't

one thing that makes me very sad is that, if I ever going to get married (yeah right :eyes:) my father won't be there to give me away.

Sometimes I imagine that he, my unlce, both my grandfathers are sitting together, each of them has its cat on the lap and they talk about mathematics or computers (what they did when they lived anyway). I like that image.

[Clintmax]

34. I have an image like that too...

My grandparents and other family members sitting at the kitchen table playing the card game "Pitch" together and laughing and carrying on.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. it is a good feeling

one day we will be with them again. I don't know where that will be (and I don't believe in heaven or hell), but I will see them again. And I know my dad watches over me anyway. I know he would be proud of where I am these days (at least job wise).

[NMMNG]

3. Good morning Clint!

I'm freezing my arse off here until 7. Then I have this stupid staff meeting at 10am (same old stuff--quality services, blah blah blah, then the same staff get up and whine about stupid crap; big waste of time I could be sleeping :eyes:).

How is life in furniture world?

[Clintmax]

5. Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi:
Well, a lot better than what you're having to put up with it seems. :rofl: The only down side is that corporate keeps adding things we need to do in the AM to get ready for the store to open, so what used to take 45 minutes now takes almost 2 hours. :eyes:

[NMMNG]

8. Ugh, you have to love when they do that sort of thing

They keep it up you'll have to be in at 3am to prepare for the day :crazy:.


Just out of curiosity, is there such a thing as a "bedroom set" that includes a daybed?

[Clintmax]

10. Well, we obviously didn't have enough to do in the mornings.

So they keep adding stuff. :shrug:

Yes, there is such a thing as a bedroom set that includes a day bed, but we don't carry any of them in my store. I wish we did though, because I have guests asking for them all the time.

[NMMNG]

12. Good, because I may be in the market for one in the future

It's ok with me that you don't carry them in your store though. As much as I'd like to give you my business you are a little outside my travel range. ;-)

[Clintmax]

13. Yes, that's true.

If you WERE in range though, I'd sure love to help you!

[billyskank]

6. Hi Clint

:hi:

[Clintmax]

9. Morning, Billy!

Well...here we are at another "hump day". Are you makin it through OK?

[billyskank]

11. Yeah, I'm okay

I think I offended JimmyJazz yesterday, though. I didn't mean to. :(

[Clintmax]

14. Uh, oh.

I hate when I do that and don't mean to.

[billyskank]

15. I know

And to JimmyJazz of all people. :cry:

[Clintmax]

16. Yeah...

what happened, Dude? What did you SAY?

[billyskank]

17. Without going into specifics

She paid me a compliment but I completely misunderstood her meaning and thus said something offhand and negative. I PMed her about it but I'm not sure she understood that it was pure screwup on my part. She seemed to be thinking that she had done something wrong, which she hadn't. I explained as clearly as I could but haven't heard from her since then. :(

[Clintmax]

18. Oh, Shit.

:spank: :hide:

By the way, have you seen Tjwmason recently? I miss him!

[billyskank]

19. Not for a couple of weeks

He's taking time away from DU. Khashka has been in touch with him, he says mason is okay.

[Clintmax]

20. That's good.

I just sent him a e-mail also. When one of us is missing, it feels strange, you know?

[billyskank]

22. Yes, we are not complete without him!

:7

Edit: Heidi is missing today as well. Either she has gone shopping or she is in a meeting, I guess.

[Clintmax]

23. I haven't talked to her in a while either.

I post a hello sometimes in the Nighthawks thread and I sometimes don't get a response from her. :shrug:

[billyskank]

27. You must turn up too late to catch her

If she was there she would definitely respond to you.

[Clintmax]

29. Oh, I'm sure she would.

And that's what I meant...I get up early, but not quite early enough to catch her before she leaves for the day. It's OK....I understand that. She's still one of my favorites on DU!

[Mutley]

41. Morning billy!

:hi:

How are ya?

[billyskank]

44. Hi mutley!

:hi:

I'm okay, thanks. How are you?

[Mutley]

45. I'm good.

Waking up. How is the overhaul at work going? :)

[billyskank]

49. My boss appointed a group of us techies

including me, six altogether, to argue out how we should change things and when we've agreed on some things to make a recommendation.

We have our first meeting in a couple of hours. I have no idea how this will turn out. :)

[Mutley]

51. Lol. Well at least some progress is being made.

Good luck with the rest of it. :D

[newyawker99]

24. Good morning everyone! Must.have.coffee

:donut:

[Clintmax]

26. LOL! Morning, NewYawker!

Yes.You.Do. :rofl: So.Do.I.

[billyskank]

28. Hi newyawker!!

:hi:

[Scooter24]

33. Morning Clintmax...

:hi: Did you check out the new Hate Mailbag? :)

It's a great way to start a morning :D

[Clintmax]

36. Heya, Scooter!

Yes, I did. I had several good laughs at it too! :rofl: How are you today?

[Scooter24]

40. I'm doing good...

Just bracing myself for some more "STICKILY LIES" from the GOP today. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

42. LOL!

No doubt, Brother! :rofl:

[Mutley]

35. Morning clint.

How are ya?

I'm sleepy, and I don't feel like going to school. But alas, I don't want to fail. So I guess I'm going.

[Clintmax]

37. Morning, Miss Mutley!

I'm doing just fine! I'm off work today :woohoo: so I don't have to worry about going in today. I certainly know how you feel. I think we ALL have days like that, where you don't feel like going to work or school and entertain calling in or taking the day off.

[Mutley]

39. That's great that you don't have to go to work.

It is very tempting to take the day off of school, because it's not like I'm losing a day's pay or anything. But, I have to remember to think in the long run. If I miss too much school, I will fail. So, I'm going. It's my short day anyway. I'll be home by 11:30am.

[Clintmax]

43. Oh, Ok...

Well then go...the time will pass quickly and you'll be back home before you know it.

[wildhorses]

46. morning Clint

you are getting out of bed and I am headed to bed....

[Clintmax]

48. Well good night, WildH!

:hi:
Sweet dreams!

[wildhorses]

52. thanks

I may try to bust a thousand posts right quick....that way I can go to bed with one goal accomplished

[Clintmax]

54. Oh, Wow...I didn't even notice you're post count!

Well...let's DO it! What's you're favorite color?

[wildhorses]

57. all shades of green

[Clintmax]

58. I like green too!

What's your favorite movie?

[wildhorses]

59. that is a hard one

because it is not politically correct. PM me and I will tell you and the reasons why...

[Clintmax]

60. Oh, ok...

We'll just skip that one in the open forum. LOL! Are you having nice weather where you live?

[wildhorses]

61. it is a beautiful crispy clear autumn morning

and my cat Gracie is napping peacefully. The leaves are turning.

[Clintmax]

62. Sounds great!

I used to live in Missouri where it get's cold, cold, cold. Here in Florida, it's not so bad!

[wildhorses]

63. I have friends in Tampa and down in the Keys

[Clintmax]

64. I love the warm weather!

And your next post will bring you to 1000! Congratulations! :woohoo:

[wildhorses]

[AirmensMom]

53. G'morning, Captain!

:donut: :hi:
I'm listening to my new Rod Stewart "Great American Songbook" CD that my sister sent in her care-package. I already ate two pieces of Sees chocolate for breakfast. This is my "chill out" routine today to keep me from fuming over losing my cable again.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Please excuse any typos. I usually run spell-check, but my connection is t o o s l o w today.

[Clintmax]

56. Hello, Hello!

Good to see you this morning, Airmen's! I hate it when cable's out.
