Good Thursday Morning, Everyone!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Hello, hello and Good Morning Everybody! How are you today? I'm doing fine and am ready to get this day started. I hope all you Nighthawks had a fun night! Yes...it's time for the Morning Crew. Time flies, huh? :)

[MissHoneychurch]

1. Happy First December Clintmax

today I opened the first window in my advent calendar :woohoo:

[Clintmax]

5. Hello, Miss Honey!

:hug:
Yes, it is that time, can you believe it? I'm sitting here listening to Christmas music as we speak. :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. yeah, it is about time

to pull out the Christmas Oratorium by Bach again


Jauchzet, frohlocket, auf, preiset die Tage,
Rühmet, was heute der Höchste getan!
Lasset das Sagen, verbannet die Klage,
Stimmet voll Jauchzen und Fröhlichkeit an!
Dienet dem Höchsten mit herrlichen Chören,
Laßt uns den Namen des Herrschers verehren

[Clintmax]

14. Hmmm...

I love the German language, but, I can't read a WORD of it. :rofl: So I'm all adrift over here. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

17. here ya go

Celebrate, rejoice! Rise up, praise these days,
glorify what the Highest has done today!
Abandon fear, banish lament,
sound forth full of celebration and gladness!
Serve the Highest with glorious choruses,
let us honor the name of the Supreme Ruler!

[Clintmax]

23. Oh, OK...Thank you, My Dear!

THAT I can read. :) It's nice too! I love Christmas time too.

[MissHoneychurch]

35. But in German

it looks and sounds better :)

[Clintmax]

40. I'm sure it does!

It's that way for most things that originate in a language other than english.

[MissHoneychurch]

49. But isn't that with most languages

when you translate something?

[Clintmax]

53. You bet it is!

I would MUCH rather hear them in the original language they were created!

[MissHoneychurch]

54. me too

with subtitles.

I for example think Russian is a beautiful language

[Clintmax]

58. I know what you mean...

I feel the same way about German and Italian.

[MissHoneychurch]

60. ....

Ciao bello (in the most sexy Italian voice)

Hallo Süßer :7

[Clintmax]

63. *grin*

I LOVE it! :hug:

[NMMNG]

2. Good morning Clint!

Yes, we Nighthawks had a good night. Women burned their bras (some did anyway), we discussed who we lusted after and all sorts of stuff.

[Clintmax]

7. Morning, Miss Buffy!

I saw a couple of those threads, yes. Metrosexuals and everything! :rofl:

[NMMNG]

13. Let that be a lesson to you!

Don't be putting your banana in any tailpipes! :rofl:

[Clintmax]

15. ROFL!

Now why, in the name of all the gods, would someone want to do something like THAT? :rofl: I don't get it. :rofl:

[NMMNG]

19. Some guy actually did it!

I was on the Vegan Freaks board, and someone posted a pic of a guy with his unit in the tailpipe of an SUV. He was also wearing a teddy.

[Clintmax]

21. OK...that's just freaky!

What the hells went through his mind? Did he think he could get off that way or something? :rofl: There are some STUPID people out there, you know it? :shrug:

[NMMNG]

25. I don't know

People do really freaky stuff. Maybe someone dared him, or maybe he's just extremely kinky. :shrug:

[Clintmax]

28. Kinky is right!

NOT my style! :rofl:

[NMMNG]

32. Not mine either

BTW, what does your sigline mean? I took several years of Spanish in high school and college and damn if I can remember more than 20 odd words of it. (If I don't use something regularly I lose it)

[Clintmax]

36. I never took ANY languages in school...

It means: "The Good Wave". I don't know if you've ever heard me talk about collecting radio station jingles in the past...you know...the short musical jingles where they sing the radio station call letters and frequency...but I came across the jingle package from a station in Honduras whose theme was La Buena Onda. I like their jingles so well, I decided to use it as a sig line for a little while. I know, I know...I'm a geek. :rofl:

[NMMNG]

39. I hadn't heard about that--that's a hobby I've never heard of before

And you're not a geek.

[Clintmax]

41. Well....

I've been a radio freak forever. I have software on my computer that was made for radio stations that I use. It inserts the jingles and mixes the music flawlessly! THAT'S how I listen to music now. I wish you could hear it...it's freakin awesome!

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hey Clintmax!!

How are you this fine day?? :loveya: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

8. Hello, Miss Seattle!

I'm cool. Just sitting here having some coffee, listening to Christmas music and talking with all my friends here on DU! Life is good! You doing OK? :hug::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

12. Doing great!

I love Christmas!

[Clintmax]

18. So do I!

:hug:
I just wish it didn't come around so damned quickly!

[khashka]

4. Hey, Cap'n Clint!

Good morning!

Man, do you get up early!

Khash.

[Clintmax]

9. Hello, Khash!

:hi:
Yes sir, I do. I always have. Habit dont'cha know. :rofl: It's good to see you today!

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Good morning Clintmax!

I don't want to go outside in that cold today. Yesterday, I was a bad mom, and let my kids have the day off because...well because. Actually my daughter had an orthodontist appointment and it made things easier...and warmer.

Today...well today, I'm going to attempt to possibly (and I just might end up) shop for Christmas. Maybe I said...:hi:

[Clintmax]

11. Morning, Miss Grumpy!

:hi:
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have fun! And just exactly why would you think you were a bad Mom for letting your kids have the day off? I think that's VERY nice of you!

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Because, somewhere, there is a freeper...desparately trying to figure

out my last name...so they can report me...to the dreaded truancy officer. ;) :hi: Thanks you! :hug:

[Clintmax]

20. Oh, them...well to hells with the freepers!

They don't know shit from shinola! :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

22. Good Thursday Morning Clint!

I slept through the Nighthawks time tonight. I just looked in "my post" I went to bed around 10 PM. It musta been all that fresh air I got yesterday.

[Clintmax]

26. Hello, Miss Joan!

Hey, it's good for you to go to bed early sometimes! Now you're up at the same time as me and we can watch the sun come up together! :hug::hi:

[In_The_Wind]

29. I'm going to snuggle back into my bed ...

after a smoke The sun hasn't even turned the sky a paler shade of gray ...

[Clintmax]

31. JOAN!

:spank:

[In_The_Wind]

34. Jeez ...

nobody ever spanks me ...

[Clintmax]

37. LOL!

It happens to the best of us sometimes, Miss Joan! I've been spanked many a time here! :hug::loveya:

[Clintmax]

70. I hope you're not mad at me, Miss Joan!

:hug:
I didn't mean anything bad! :cry:

[In_The_Wind]

75. I'm not mad at you!

I just took my coffee and watched the sunrise while I was saying a prayer for all my DU friends who aren't here anymore.

www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4378125&mesg_id=4378475 times a few old friends who will never be forgotten.

[Clintmax]

77. I'm glad you're not...

I've been in melancholy moods too...:hug::hug:

[Mutley]

24. Morning Clint!

Did you know you can put hot chocolate in coffee and make your own mocha? :9

[Clintmax]

27. Hello, Miss Mutley!

:hug:
Hot Chocolate in my coffee???? Ummm...no. I don't put ANYTHING in my coffee. I like it black and strong. How are ya today?

[Mutley]

30. Good. Tired.

The SO was grinding his teeth like a madman last night. x( He is one of the loudest sleepers I've ever met.

I love to put all sorts of things in my coffee. Spice it up, baby!

[Clintmax]

33. I used to grind my teeth too...

He needs to get a mouth guard to wear overnight. It's not good for his teeth to grind them like that, that's why I wear a guard every night.

Any big plans for today? I just have to work. I hope it's started picking up now as far as traffic in my store.

[Mutley]

43. Can he get a regular sports mouth guard

or does he have to get one designed specifically for sleep?

No big plans. After school I'm meeting with a few classmates to study for the finals in one of my more difficult classes. Historical Linguistics -- Chapter 9 Internal Reconstruction. :yoiks:

Hopefully now that it's December it will hit people that they need to start doing their shopping.

[Clintmax]

45. I use just a regular sports guard...

They are MUCH cheaper and accomplish the same thing, plus they are WAY more durable.

Historical Linguistics...Internal Reconstruction! Good gods! :rofl:

I hope so too! We surely do need it!

[Mutley]

50. I'll look into that.

He has grown immune to my kicking and pushing.

Yes, I don't get it at all. The rest of the class up to this I was okay, but now I'm lost. :cry: Hopefully studying today will help, though I think the people I'm studying with are lost, too.

[Clintmax]

55. Well, maybe you can make some sense of it together!

That's the good thing about study groups. Good luck, My Dear!

Tell your boyfriend I said it's OK to wear it to bed. Only YOU will see him with it in. In case he resists because he thinks it will make him look like a freak or something. :rofl:

[Mutley]

62. I will tell him that, because I need to sleep, too, damnit!

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

64. LOL!

Yes you do!

[tjwmason]

38. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Hope that all's the very picture of jollity in Clintland.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

42. Hello, TJ!

It surely is! I hope everything is splendid for you too! :hug: Is it about time for lunch for you?

[tjwmason]

51. Not too bad here.

I've got a dash of a bit of a cold, and I'm comforting myself with a marathon of all of Haydn's Masses. Started with Missa Rorate caeli desuper which lasts all of 7 minutes; followed by Missa Cellensis in honorem Beatissime Virginis Mariae which is an impressive hour long; just finished Missa brevis in F, which he wrote at the age of 14 or thereabouts and thus is known as Jugendsmesse; now we're onto Schoepfungsmesse (Creation Mass). 3 down 10 to go.

It's just coming up to midday here - I normally take lunch at about 1 - so not too long. I've been a bit naughty and got some biscuits this morning as well.......

[Clintmax]

56. I hope you're feeling better now...

I hate having a cold. I also hope the music helps make you feel good too! Have a great lunch when it becomes time for it too, TJ! :hug:

[tjwmason]

65. I've just had some green tea which helps to make me feel better.

But I've also been innundated with stupid telephone calls from the bunch of foolish numpties who are my equivalents in one of our other offices - they seem to have about three brain cells between them and at this precise moment I would like to kill them all.

(N.B. Colds make me grumpy - just incase you hadn't guessed.)

[Clintmax]

67. I know the feeling, TJ.

I have had some people I work for that were the same way. Exhausting, I tell you!
Colds make EVERYONE grumpy. :hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

44. Good morning, Clintmax!

Still pretty cold and icy here, but we're doing fine so far! :hi:

[Clintmax]

46. Hello, Mister Wesley!

:hi:
Sorry to hear it's still so cold there. We get chilly at night even here in Florida, but it warms up nicely as the day progresses. Tell Miss Heidi I said Hello! :hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

48. She's just home from

another shopping experience ... ;) But no Christmas shopping yet. I'll tell her you said 'Hello'.

[Clintmax]

57. Thank you!

I haven't seen her here on DU in a while. I miss her! But...at least I get to talk to YOU evey morning! :woohoo:

[Call Me Wesley]

59. She just spent the last two mornings shopping,

which is usually her posting time. I'm sure she'll be here tomorrow morning. Unless she goes shopping again. I think she likes it! :evilgrin:

[Clintmax]

61. It wouldn't surprise me a bit!

Women LOVE to shop! It's a fact of life, Dude.

[newyawker99]

47. Good morning everyone!

:donut: :hi:

[Clintmax]

52. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:

[Callalily]

66. Good morning all!

It snowed last night here, and it's still snowing, so it'll be a slow ride into work this morning.

Oh MissHoneychurch, Bach . . . I'm going to a Bach concert tomorrow night! Know some people in the symphony, can't wait.

[Clintmax]

68. Morning, SimplyF!

:hi:
I hope you have a GREAT time at the concert!

[Callalily]

80. Oh thanks . . .

yes the concert is tomorrow and I know it'll be good. Tonight's the elf thing.

[Cannikin]

69. I wish I had your enthusiasm for the day, Clintmax

Its hard for me to get started in the morning.

[Clintmax]

71. Hello, Cannikin!

:hi:
You're not alone there. It's not easy for a LOT of people to get started in the mornings. I just always have gotten up early...it started in Junior High (remember when it was called that?) I had to be at school at 7:00am and it just carried over.

It's good to see you this morning, Sexy! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

73. In school at 7a.m.????

Bloody hell - forgive the bad language.

If I remember correctly registration at 20 to nine, assembly from ten to nine to ten past, then into the first lesson.

[Clintmax]

76. Yes, it was early...

But I liked it. "Bloody Hell" :rofl:

[tjwmason]

72. I don't have very much good will today.

But I can always summon up some for you. Will a :hug: and :loveya: be of any help in getting you moving?

[Cannikin]

74. Awwww. Thats just what I needed.

And I hope you get over your cold soon!

[Clintmax]

78. Well folks...I'm off to go get ready for work!

I hope everybody has a GREAT day! :hi::hug:

[AirmensMom]

79. Good morning, Captain!

:donut: :hi:

Time flies ... OR fun flies when you're doing time. :7

What's in store for the day? Are you surviving all the Christmas shoppers?
