Good Wednesday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to another "Hump Day" edition of the Early Morning Crew! :bounce: I hope you've had a good week so far! I missed many of you yesterday because I had to be to work at an ungodly 6 am. I'm sorry about that, but at least it's only one day a week.

I am off work so I don't have to go rushing off anywhere today, but I DO have to go do laundry at some point. You know how that is. I hate it too because it takes so much time away from my day off. x(

Reminder: If you haven't created a journal up to this point and do so later, let me know because I want to put a link to it in my Blogroll in MY journal!

I am thinking about putting together a monthly Early Morning Crew Newsletter! :bounce: It would have all kinds of information in it including crew member Milestones, funniest quote of the month, information about upcoming events, etc! I think the way I would work it is find a website I could post it to, then send each of you the link in a private message! Would you be interested in such a thing? Let me know! I think it would be fun to do and have!

So, let's get this day going!

2. Clintus Maximus!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

7. Hail, Billy!

:hi::loveya:
How the heck are you? Work going good today?

[billyskank]

17. Work is okay

I am nicely busy. :)

[Clintmax]

22. That's good!

Big project coming right along I assume! :bounce: I KNEW they chose wisely when they assigned YOU to the task! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

8. Good morning billy.

:hi:

How's life with you today? Slightly less arctic round here today...

[billyskank]

19. Hi mason

I am more or less okay. :hi:

[tjwmason]

30. The more bit sounds best to me.

:D

[KitchenWitch]

3. Good Morning to you!

Busy day ahead, shopping, taking kids to activities, etc.

[Clintmax]

6. Good Morning, Miss Kitchen!

:hi::hug:
Yes...a busy day indeed! Buy me something good while you're out shopping, OK?! :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Hi clintmax!!!! I was waiting for you!

:) :hi: The newsletter thing would be neat! I would be interested. A nice way to keep up on things.

I hope you have an excellent day! I'm doing the Field Trip Chaperoning thing today! :hi: :hug:

[Clintmax]

10. Morning, MrsG!

:hi::hug:
I was hoping you'd say that about the Newsletter! It would be fun for me! Chaperoning a field trip, huh? That can be fun! Have a great day too, my dear!

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I hope I get to see something, in between counting heads!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

18. LOL! Yes, that is the BIG thing about chaperoning.

What's the age group of the kids?

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. 7 and 8. The boys are still relatively babies. The girls are just starting

to "get their personalities". It should be interesting. :)

[Clintmax]

36. Wow! You're gonna have your hands full!

Full full full! :rofl: But, it can also be a LOT of fun! Where are you folks going on your field trip?

[ScreamingMeemie]

52. We're going to the Detroit Science Center. It's a hands on Museum

so it should be a lot of fun for the kids. :)

[Clintmax]

62. Yes, they'll LOVE that!

I've been to the St. Louis Science Center many times and they have a hands on place like that too. Watching the kids in a place like that is as much fun for me as it is for them actually playing with the stuff!

[ScreamingMeemie]

69. They are fun to watch! Have a great day Clintmax!

I'm off to wake him up and get lunches together and all. :) :hug:

[Clintmax]

74. Have a GREAT day, MrsG!

:bounce::hi:

[tjwmason]

11. Good morning Mrs. G.

:hi:

Enjoy the field-trip - I have to confess I'd rather be boiled in acid personally, but then I'm a misanthrope.

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Hi tj!

Sometimes they are fun...sometimes not as much. It depends on the kids. These are second graders so it can go either way. I'd rather be sitting here in my bathrobe, but I do enjoy spending time with my son and seeing what he's up to. :hug: I'll sign you up for next time. ;)

[tjwmason]

23. Sitting around in a robe is definitely preferable to just about anything.

I'm guessing that second grade is fairly young, and thus still fairly amusing.

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. I am sure parts of it will be hysterical. Like trying to find a bathroom

in the middle of a nature walk was last time. :) :pals:

[tjwmason]

38. Sounds about right.

Nothing one can do about it though. :pals:

[tjwmason]

5. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Gorgeous picture - did you take it?

You vanished just before I arrived yesterday - I posted a message to you nonetheless. I hope that all went well with the early start.

Jean Langlais' Missa Salve Regina playing here. First sung at Christmass in Notre Dame de Paris 1954 (might have been '56, but definitely '50s).

:hug:

[Clintmax]

14. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
We just missed each other yesterday, huh? I'm sorry...the 6 am thing is a KILLER and I had to get on the ball.

No, I didn't take the picture, but I wanted a sunrise photo to use as a "logo" of sorts for the crew and found that one on Google Photo. I think it's very pretty too!

[tjwmason]

20. I'm just wondering what it says about me

That a man 5 time-zones behind gets up before I do....:eyes:

The only times I've seen that early has been catching flights, when I'm still up from the night before, and May Day when I was at university (local tradition involved students swimming the in sea at dawn, obviously I never went in the sea but did go to laugh at/cheer on friends a couple of times).

[Clintmax]

24. LOL! It doesn't say anything BAD about you!

I just have this thing about being up at LEAST three hours before I have to be to work. Since I had to be there at 6...that means I get up at 3 am. Trust me...when I got home, I took a nice long nap...which meant I couldn't get to sleep when I really wanted to last night and tossed and turned most of the night. I was happy when 5 am rolled around so I could get out of that stupid bed! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

35. It really can mess up one's sleeping patterns.

I'm never up 3 hours before work.

I take half an hour to shower and dress, about half an hour to walk to work...so one hour total.

[Clintmax]

40. Most people are that way.

I'm just a weirdo in that respect, I guess. I want to make breakfast, read the paper, watch the sun come up...and I have a great group of people I wake up with every morning! :bounce: If I got up an hour before work...there would BE no Early Morning Crew! Well...I guess there probably would...but not in its current incarnation.

[tjwmason]

47. We certainly enjoy seeing you around.

It's definitely an improvement on the visual terrorism being committed by most folk in my office today.

:pals:

[Clintmax]

63. "Visual Terrorism" ROFL!

:rofl:
Hey, that's a perfect description for some people! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

73. It's worse than normal today.

It's "dress down day" :scared: which means that people give a donation to charity and look even more messy than usual.

Normally these things are on Friday when I'm out of the office (thank goodness for small mercies), but there's one today for World Water Day. x(

[Clintmax]

75. Just keep your eyes on the screen, TJ...just keep your eyes on the screen.

:rofl:
I wouldn't want to be assulted that way either.

[tjwmason]

135. Golly gosh - looks like you're still around.

I'm just back from lunch - so am in a good mood. :D

[Clintmax]

136. Yep...I'm still here!

No sense running off! Glad you're in a good mood, Mister! Did you have a good lunch?

[tjwmason]

144. Yes - good and jolly.

Set me up to attack the afternoon at work with a vengeance. :bounce:

Have you had breakfast yet, or is it still too early for you?

[SeattleGirl]

9. Morning, Clintmax!!!!!

Wonderful to see you. And I love your idea of a monthly Early Morning Crew Newsletter! It's da bomb! :bounce:

Are you a "Lonely Boy"? If so, may I counter with "Sweet Dreams" by Patsy Cline?

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

16. Morning, Miss Seattle!

:hi::hug::loveya:
It it wonderful to see you too, my dear! I'm happy to hear you like the Newsletter idea...I think it would be SO much fun putting together and distributing! No, I'm not a "Lonely Boy" but it's a great song! So is "Sweet Dreams"! :bounce: Do you have any big plans for the day today?

[SeattleGirl]

26. No big plans. Just working, mostly.

But hey, every day is a great day to be alive, right? :bounce:

And I'm glad you're really not a lonely boy! :loveya:

[Clintmax]

34. Every singe day! You're right!

:bounce:
You know...sometimes I wish the work week and the weekend we flip flopped. IE: We work two days and have 5 off! But, for that to work, we'd have to still get the same amount in our salary, you know? :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Good morning Clint

:hi:

you know what? That email you sent me ages ago ... I got it today :eyes:

Thank you so much :hug:

[Clintmax]

21. Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
You just NOW got that e-mail? That's crazy! I wonder why it took so long? :shrug: You're welcome! I just wish it had gotten there on the same day as I sent it. You doing OK today my dear?

[MissHoneychurch]

42. Yes I am doing fine, thanks

I wonder also why it took so long. Oh well, better late than never

I am alone at work today. Boss on vacation, co-worker on sick-leave.

[Clintmax]

44. Does that mean you have DOUBLE the work to do?

Since your co-worker is sick do you have to do her work also?

[MissHoneychurch]

50. Not really

only thing I have to do now is going to the stack and get the books the customers want. That is normally her job (at least in the mornings, in the afternoon I have to go anyway).

[Clintmax]

65. Well that's good!

Hopefully, you're having a nice easy day then! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

80. So far it is nice and quiet

I can do my stuff peacefully. I have the webradio on, listening to music, the sun is shining on my back and I am in a good mood.

[Clintmax]

81. That sounds wonderful!

I love listening to web radio too! You can to your work in peace and be here with me at the same time! Fantastic! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

85. What else can I ask for?

:loveya:

[Clintmax]

87. I know it!

Sounds heavenly to me! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

96. The only thing that would make it even more heavenly

would be you sitting here and talk to me :loveya:

[Clintmax]

99. Awww...that WOULD be great wouldn't it!

But I wouldn't want to keep you from your work! I can't wait for September! :bounce::loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

103. Since nobody is here at the moment to notice

I wouldn't mind you keeping me from work. Hey you here and I would take the day off :bounce:

I can't wait myself. 6 months to go. Sounds like a lot but I am sure the time will pass by fast. And then: "U.S.A. here I come!! Be prepared" :rofl:

[Clintmax]

105. LOL! Oh, I'll be prepared!

And I can't wait! :bounce: I'd love to come see where YOU live sometime too! I look at the pictures you post and they are ALL beautiful!

[MissHoneychurch]

106. I will post a couple of pics tomorrow

of the first international Du meet p with kagehime and neweurope.

I would love to show you some parts of Germany. You would like it. We have some beautiful spots in this country.

[Clintmax]

107. Yes, you sure do!

I was looking at the pictures in your Journal, and each one was as beautiful as the last! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

108. Thanks Clint

taking pictures is the only thing I am good at. I can't play an instrument, I can't sing, I can't dance, I can't draw .... I am just un-talented (except the photography) :rofl:

[Clintmax]

110. Now now...you're not untalented!

We're ALL good at SOMETHING. I can't play an instrument, or sing or draw either. But, I was a competition dancer for several years and won some trophys doing it! I can't take a picture for anything, so that's something you can do that I can't!

[MissHoneychurch]

115. Then I will never go dancing with you

as I would be an embarrassment to you (I can't dance to a rhythm for shit) :hide:

[Clintmax]

117. LOL! I could teach you.

Then we could go dancing when you feel up to it!

[MissHoneychurch]

119. Believe me

there is no chance that I learn it. I really have no feeling for rhythm. I am lacking that gene ... LOL

But thanks for your willingness to try :hug:

[Clintmax]

121. Oh you're welcome!

:hug::loveya:
I haven't danced in a long time, so I'd have to practice a while anyway.

[MissHoneychurch]

123. You are too kind to me Clint

:loveya:

[Clintmax]

125. That's what friends are for, my dear!

:loveya:

[Clintmax]

129. Check your Private Messages, Miss Honey...

:loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

132. I did

check yours also :)

[Clintmax]

134. Got it!

Amazing that you found him so quickly! Was there a photo?

[MissHoneychurch]

139. Unfortunately not

sorry ...

[Clintmax]

141. It's OK...just curious.

Thank you for looking though! :hug::loveya: I'm out for now...have some things to get done! I'll talk to you in the morning, Miss Honey! :hug:

[Callalily]

86. Morning MissH

Sometimes I think it's nice to be at work alone. That's why I go in so early, no one bothers me, at least for a while.

Heard The Kirov Orchestra Monday night. Got free tickets, can you believe that! They played Tchaikovsky and Shostakovitch. Just wowed everyone including me.

[MissHoneychurch]

93. Free tickets to a concert???

that is great. Classical music is just great. And Tchaikovsky wrote beutiful pieces.

In my old job I worked in an One-Person-Library. That was too quiet for me, esp. since half of the year there were no customers. It is perfect for me here. I have nice co-workers, my boss is cool, we have customers but they aren't over running us. But I have to admit I loved working in the public library in Savannah and to have the contact with the customers. I only don't want to work with children. I love to help the people find the informations they need. It gives me opportunity to learn with them.

[Callalily]

97. Sounds like you've

found your perfect job. I always thought it would be cool to work in a library. I LOVE libraries. I patronize three of them!

Yea, the free tickets were great, and excellent seats too. Couldn't have been a better way to spend a Monday night.

[MissHoneychurch]

100. I love libraries as well

that is why I work in one :)

It is cool that you patronize some. Libraries need all the support they can get.

When I was a nanny my guest mom played the flute in the Charlotte Orchestra. That way I could come to performances and dress rehearsals. Loved it. So much classical music and operas for free. :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

61. BTW, I added my journal yesterday

:)

[Clintmax]

66. YAY!

I'll go add it to my Blogroll! :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

25. Good Morning Clint! I love that photo.

Your newsletter sounds like lots of fun.

[Clintmax]

31. Good Morning, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug::loveya:
I'm glad you like both the photo and the Newsletter idea! :bounce: It would be a place to post a lot of fun information and pictures! I'm rather looking forward to putting it together! How is your day going so far?

[In_The_Wind]

54. My day started a little later than usual.

I've been sleeping a little better this week.

I'll have repairmen in my house again today. x(
The chimney pipe for my new stove was removed yesterday. It had a creosote build up which requires a chemical cleaning.
Then later this week the furnace repairman will be back on Friday to check a repair he completed last week.
The dog doesn't even bark at these guys anymore.

[Clintmax]

67. If the dog isn't barking at them anymore...

that tells me they have been around TOO much. Sounds like you've had a mess!

[In_The_Wind]

94. I've paid my dues, I've done my time.

That is why I don't feel guilty at all about my Spring/Summer?Fall escapes this year!
I've earned 'em.

BTW I still need to pick out the flooring and get that job done while I'm at it. :think: Unless I can push it off to October. :evilgrin:

[Clintmax]

101. Yes you HAVE paid your dues!

So you just take your escapes this year and enjoy them! I know I'M going to enjoy them! :loveya: If you push the flooring off till October...will it be able to get completed then?

[In_The_Wind]

109. It shouldn't take more than a few weeks to complete.

I really just need to speak with the contractor. I hated the thought of someone coming in and out during the bad weather. Fall is sounding better to me all the time. I won't mind sticking around for a little while after being out and about for months.

[Clintmax]

111. That's true!

Having someone tracking in and out during fall and winter was what I was thinking also. Who wants footy prints all over the house all the time? :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

114. footy prints

You crack me up! :loveya:

[Clintmax]

118. LOL! Great smillie!

You come up with some of the BEST one's I've ever seen! :loveya: I'm glad I can make you laugh sometimes! :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

126. There are a few DUers I drag myself out of bed for.

Now ...
If I could just find the right man to stay curled up in bed with :D

[Clintmax]

128. Awww...that's sweet!

And yes...I hope you find the right man to stay curled up with! :loveya:

[billyskank]

32. Hi Joani

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

45. Good Morning my friend.

:loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

49. Good morning, dearest Joani!

How are you today? I'm just waking up & I am on my 2nd cup of coffee. :donut: :pals:

[In_The_Wind]

58. I'm counting the days!

Next Wednesday morning I might be waking-up next to JJ.

I can't believe I'll see you again in 9 short days!
Please bring your planner/calendar/datebook/whatever_you_call_it, we need to think about another visit before I head west.

[Sugar Smack]

77. You KNOW it. It feels like summer's here already.

The get-out-of-school type summer. It will be a blast to see you. You and JimmyJazz are so lucky to get to see each other. Wow. I wish I could be there. Will you two call me like you did last time? I promise I won't cuss over the speaker-phone!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

90. Darlin school_is_out_forever!

[NMMNG]

27. Good morning Clint!

I had an interesting shift. I came on duty to find that two people had been doing cocaine so I had to collect cups of pee for tox-screens. x( In the meantime a firetruck and several police cruisers came barreling down into the neighborhood and were camped out in between my base house and one of the other houses in my program for a half-hour or so. Then I find out that one of the clients who moved out of the program a few weeks back is returning tomorrow because once he left he went off all of his psychiatric meds (probably started using recreational pharmaceuticals as well) and completely decompensated, and lost both his job and apartment. Needless to say it will take a good deal of time and support to get him stabilized again. But then, that's what they pay us the "big bucks" for. :rofl:


As for my journal, it's up and running as of yesterday or the day before. Just click on the little link on my post.

[Clintmax]

33. Good Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
WOW! :wow: What a CRAZY shift you've had! Cocaine in the house, police blocking the way and some dude off his meds and causing trouble...*WHEW* What a MESS!

I'm going to add a link to your Journal right now!

[NMMNG]

39. And the worst thing was

All the cocaine was gone before I got here! :cry:

Just kidding--I wouldn't touch the stuff if somebody paid me too. :scared:

I'm just looking forward to crawiling into bed when I get home. I get the impression the next few nights are going to be chaotic.

[Clintmax]

41. I bet you ARE!

And yes...sounds like you're going to be having some crazy times, my dear! I wish I could help you. :hug:

[NMMNG]

53. Thank you

But your presence here is help enough (as is the presence of all my DU buddies). :grouphug:

[Clintmax]

68. Awww...well you're welcome!

:hug::hug::grouphug:

[hfojvt]

37. och, and there's the bedtime call again

Is it that late already?

[Clintmax]

43. Morning, Hfojvt!

:hi:
Yep...it sure is. 6:26 am! Bedtime calling you? Well have a good rest! Sleep tight!

[Sugar Smack]

46. Hey, Clintmax. You sound really inspired.

I love the photograph, too. Thank you for that.

:donut:

[Clintmax]

56. Morning, Miss Sugar!

:hi::hug:
It's great to see you today! :bounce: Yes, I really am! And you're welcome for the picture! I think it's a great Early Morning Crew "Logo"!

[Wetzelbill]

48. Got caught up writing poetry (and watching The Shield)

otherwise I'd be asleep..... I have to be up in 4 hours. I know it'll take me forever to crash out once I actually get in bed.

Oh yeah, Good morning!

I started reading some Sherman Alexie last night. Got me in the mood to do some writing. I need to apply myself and finish my damn book, I'm not even close to being done with the thing. :)

[Clintmax]

57. Hail, Bill!

:hi:
I hate all nighters myself. If you can't get at least three hours sleep, it's best to stay up. That's the rule I think. So if you don't think you can get to sleep in an hour...

Time flies by when you're having fun doing stuff like that doesn't it? Especially reading.

[Wetzelbill]

71. oh yeah it really does

I can sit down to write and next thing I know I killed 6 hours. It goes by like nothing.

Usually if I can't get about two, I'll just stay up. Either way that sucks though. I have to sleep a little, because I have a later class until about 5, so I'll be dead tired if I don't get a few Z's.

I'm a life-long terrible insomniac. Been cursed with it forever. Only thing that works is a good schedule, which I frequently get off of, lol. :)

[Clintmax]

76. A good schedule is the best thing for insomnia.

Go to bed at the same time every night, and get up at the same time every morning. Good luck with class today, Man.

[Minnesota Libra]

51. Good Morning - I love hump day, it puts everyone one day closer.....

.....to the week end.:hi: :bounce:


Clintmax, What a great idea! I think an Early Morning Crew Newsletter would be a lot of fun. It would give us yet another option for staying in touch on those days when other commitments require we tear ourselves away from the computer much too soon.

I've always said every apartment/duplex/house/or other structure for living should be required to have washer and dryer hook ups. Wouldn't that make our lives so much easier??

Be good to each other and remember we are all in this political nightmare together.

Of course try to win one more poor lost soul over from the dark side of neocon politics today.

:hi: :grouphug: :loveya: :hi: :grouphug: :loveya: :hi: :grouphug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

59. Hail, Minnesota!

:hi:
I like "hump day" too for the same reasons! I'm glad you like the idea of the Newsletter. I just think it would be a lot of fun to put together as well as to read! :bounce: I've had a washer and dryer before...and I gotta tell ya...I think I prefer going to the laundromat. Doing one load at a time is an ALL DAY affair. Going to the laundromat, I can use as many washers as I need at once, and then dry everything at the same time. 2 1/2 hours work instead of all day.

[AussieDave]

55. Heya Clint - lucky you with the day off !!

Yeah I know how it goes with the laundry, but it's gotta be done, otherwise people look at you funny when you walk past.......

I'm doing fine - the press here is full of the aftermath of the cyclone we had up north on Monday, and the one lurking off the coast. It pretty much destroyed two towns and did a lot of damage to banana and sugar crops, but fortunately no-one was killed. It came ashore about 1000 miles north of Brisbane, so it didn't affect us here in the big smoke. But the price of bananas tripled overnight !!

:hi: :hug:

[Clintmax]

60. Hail, Aussie!

:hi::hug:
HOLEY MOLEY! I hadn't heard about that storm! I'm glad nobody was hurt!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

64. Morning!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

70. Good Morning, Starbucks!

:hi:
How's every little thing?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

72. Pretty good. You?

Just working on my screenplay. I work the night shift, so I'll be going to bed in a few hours.

Morning for you guys is like nighttime for me. :)

[Clintmax]

78. I've worked shifts like that.

I used to work 2 am to 10 am, so I know how you feel. I got SO sick of it, I tell ya. I'm doing just fine! Waking up with my crew!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

79. Personally, I love it.

I can't really stand the sun. :)

[Clintmax]

82. LOL! You can't, huh?

Better be careful...you don't want to disintegrate into a pile of ashes at sunrise do ya? Better get into that coffin of yours! :rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

83. I'm actually kind of pale for a brown man.

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

92. LOL!

:rofl:

[Callalily]

84. Good morning Clint!

Nice idea about the newsletter. Seems like a lot of work though. I've only activated my journal, but haven't had time to really do anything with it.

Went to a fantastic concert Monday night. They played Tchaikovsky and Shostakovitch. I'm not to familiar with Shostakovitch, but those pieces were fantastic. Got home kinda late Monday night, so I slept in a a bit.

Glad to hear that you've got the day off. But then again, you certainly put in enough hours yesterday.

Have fun with the

[Clintmax]

89. Morning, SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad you like the idea about the Newsletter! It wouldn't be too much work...I'd do it as we go along during the month. My biggest thing to overcome is where to post it for everyone to see. And are they going to have to have Microsoft Publisher to view it? That's something I'm going to have to figure out.

I'm happy you had such a good time at the concert! It sounds wonderful to me too!

Fun at the laundromat...I don't know about THAT...:rofl:

[Callalily]

95. Yeah, that could

be a bit of a dilemma about how to post the newsletter, but I'm sure you'll come up with something.

Be careful at the laundromat. There could be unsavory characters there.

[Clintmax]

104. LOL! Yes there can be!

But, we go to this very nice one by the Publix supermarket and we haven't had any trouble in the three years we've been going there. So thank goodness for that!

[DanCa]

88. Good morning Clintmax

How are you? I am just a little burned out today. I hope you have an excellent morning though

[Clintmax]

91. Hail, Dan!

:hi:
Sorry to hear you're burned out. Have a great day and hopefully you'll not feel that way tomrrow.

[LaurenG]

98. Good Morning Clintmax!!

It's so nice you have the day off, sorry about the laundry. Having to work when you just want to relax and have fun isn't so cool but the payoff is always good, clean clothes and all! lol

I would love it if you did a newsletter.

Well I should move along and get back to work, you know how it is. there is always MORE to do. Have a wonderful day off!

:hug:

[Clintmax]

102. Morning, OhioB!

:hi::hug:
Laundry is a never ending affair. If I could just go buy new clothes every week and never have to wear the same thing twice, I would. No more laundry! Imagine that! :rofl: Have a good day at work...I certainly know how you feel!

112. Good morning everyone!

:hi:


:donut:

[Clintmax]

113. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
It's great to see you today! I hope you're having a fine week so far! :bounce:

116. Morning Clint!!

It's been crazy at my house - boxes everywhere, trying to work more than full-time and I'm beat. A week from today the movers come and I'll know at the end of the week if I got the job I interviewed for yesterday. :bounce: Lots of changes coming at once.

:hi:

[Clintmax]

120. Morning, Miss Lizzie!

:hi:
Changes seem to happen all at once every time with me too! I HATE moving...it's such a pain in the ass. Good luck with the job! I hope you got it! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

122. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

Nice picture! And I like the idea of a monthly newsletter. :bounce: Couldn't you put it in your journal? I've seen people put all sorts of stuff in those (mine's SO boring at this point).

Anyway, it's good to see you. :hug:

[Clintmax]

124. Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug::bounce:
I'm SO happy to see you today, my dear! I heard you weren't feeling well...I hope you're doing better now! :hug:

I thought of putting it in my Journal...but I'm not sure if anyone ever looks at it. :shrug: If I posted it to a Blog and sent everyone a link, they could look at it when ever they had time. I don't know...I'll have to think more about how would be best to distribute it.

I'm glad you like the picture! I think it's the perfect Early Morning Crew logo!

[AirmensMom]

127. Yes, I'm a little better.

Thanks. It's down to a dull ache now. And I'm pretty slow this morning -- usually my fingers fly on this keyboard, but I can barely find the keys today. harleydad let people know yesterday that I was sick. All the nice get-well responses helped. He came into the bedroom every few minute to tell me about them. :loveya: He had to use the alert button a few times. I guess "Name removed" doesn't know what a get-well thread is for. :shrug:

I think however you do it would be great and people would look at it. :hug:

I'm not on your blogroll -- see, even you think my journal is boring. :rofl:

Yes, the picture is a perfect logo! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

130. Hmmm...did you just create it or something?

I went through and added everyone...I thought...

I'll go fix that right this second! I'm glad you're feeling a little better, my dear! :hug:

[AirmensMom]

131. No, I don't remember when I did it.

Maybe last Thursday or so? But it's the dullest one out there.

Thanks. :hug: It's good to see you. A few days, I JUST missed you -- got here in time to see you post your "I'm outta here" message. :(

I'm still waiting for a car-washing date in Boca. This weather won't hold forever, you know.

[Clintmax]

133. I added it in!

The first time I tried to add it just now...it said there WAS no such journal out there. Then, I discovered I had inserted an apostrophe: Airmen'sMom...that didn't belong. :rofl: I'm glad I got it right now and it's in there!

[AirmensMom]

137. I'm so used to the olden days

when we couldn't use special characters or spaces in filenames. So I automatically assumed I had to scrunch everything up for my username. (Am I dating myself?)

I added you, too -- having just realized last night what that was for. :silly: Maybe when I feel better, I'll play with it more. Looks like a lot of people are having fun with it. Hey, maybe I'll even put a profile pic in there ... but don't hold your breath waiting.

We're having a dry spell with the house. Yesterday we had our first showing in 10 days. It figures that someone would come when I'm sick. The good news is that we have a ball-park estimate on our new house and we're pleasantly surprised. I'm liking this builder a whole lot more than the one who dumped us.

Hey -- I just looked at your journal and saw your Tony pics thread. HOW did I miss that? They're great! What a handsome boy! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

140. I don't know WHY I was adding that apostrophe...

Silly me! :silly: I'm glad you're liking the new contractor! Sounds like he is MUCH better than the old one. I'm glad you saw the Tony pictures! I need to add some more! I'm off to go get some things done now, so you take care and I hope you get an offer (OVER the asking price) from the people who saw your house yesterday! :bounce::hug:

[AirmensMom]

143. Um, 'cause it would be the right way to spell it?

:shrug: Lots of people make the same mistake -- my fault, not yours, for making it confusing.

Thanks. I don't think yesterday's people liked the house or we would have heard by now. But someone, someday ...

Have a nice day off! :hug: :loveya::hi:

[Clintmax]

138. I hate to have to run, Miss Airmens...

but I really need to get going on some things. I hope you get to feeling even BETTER today, and hopefully I'll see you again in the morning! :hug::loveya: Take care and tell HarleyDad I said Hello! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

142. Time to get going, my crew!

:hi:
Laundry waits for NO man! :rofl: Take care of each other and I'll see you in the morning! :bounce:

Clint

[Deja Q]

145. "hump day"? Who's humping? And mind if I jump on in?

The Morning Crew, that is... One day I'm sure I'll get to hump, but the morning crew sounds like more fun! :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

146. We only do that in the mornings...

sorry. :hug:
