Good Friday Morning, Crew!

:donut::hi:
TGIF! :bounce: How are you today? I hope all is going well! Other than this "crick" in my neck, I'm doing just fine! I hate waking up and know immediately that you slept wrong somehow and now you're paying for it with an irritating pain that takes forever to go away. :rofl:

Well, here we are at the end of the work week. One more shift and the weekend is upon us! :woohoo: Do you have any big plans for the next two days you'd like to share? I have to work, so that's MY big plans.

Without further ado...let's get this day started, my crew! :bounce::woohoo:

3. Good morning Clint.
:hi:

I'm just about to head for the shower - but I'll be back in a wee while.

Not quite sure what music's on as it's the radio - more specifically it's Jonathan Swaine's programme so the music in incidental to the pure liquid velvet of his voice.

:hug:

22. He's not a musician - he's the presenter
He probably is actually a musician - all of the folk on Radio 3 are (for obvious reasons), but I've got no idea whether he composes, plays, sings &c.&c.

I hope that simboy manages to make it onto the thread today - it's been too long since he's been around here.

31. He managed to fall ill
Just as his mad work period ended ... he seemed to be a bit better yesterday. ( :hug: for swimboy to help him get totally better.)

I've just checked the Radio 3 web-site - apparently he's not a performer at all, he actually went into law first, then started writing for Gramaphone magazine. Somewhat like myself - very interested in music, but not very good at producing it.

where the body tenses up due to stress, and then as soon as it gets to relax it totally collapses.

117. FOREVER ends today!
Hello, my friend! I'm back in the saddle, back at work and back up to speed. I have missed being around and missed starting my mornings here! :hug: I had to lie low and take care of myself--withdrew into my four walls. It's very good to be on my feet again and nice to see my friends!

Sorry about your crick in your neck. I hope it works itself out soon. They are a terrible nuisance.

Very happy to see you, Captain Climax! :loveya:

if "Clintus Maximus" is your Roman gladiator name, is "Clinticles" your Greek philosopher name? :7

Yeah, I'm pretty ready for the weekend alright. :)

24. We'd have to change the pronunciation though.
Rather than pronouncing the ending 'clz' it would have to become more 'cleese'. :D

Yes, it IS a real pain in the neck! Literally. :rofl: I hate it! I think what I need to do is go buy a new pillow. Mine gets way too flat during the night.

We're a pair of workin' people, you and I, that's for sure. :loveya:

26. Pillows
I have one of those "Contour Cloud" pillows which I used for ages. Then suddenly I found that I could no longer use it because after an hour or so my neck would be stiff and achy, and I'd have the beginning of a throbbing migraine. So I switched to the trusty feather pillow that I'd had since childhood. That was fine for over a year until I started having the same problem I'd had with the Contour pillow. Then I had to switch back to the Contour pillow after which things were fine again. ("Fine" being a relative term. I still have to flip over regularly, stretch my neck out at least once during my sleep period, and am likely to have somewhat of a stiff neck upon waking anyway.) How long things will be ok with the Contour pillow is unknown, but I have the feather pillow on standby.



We're a pair of workin' people, you and I, that's for sure.


Yep. For some reason, those bill collectors want their money. :shrug:

30. Hmmm...and I was thinking about trying one of those contour pillows.
Now I'm not so sure. :shrug: I don't like feather pillows (that's all Greekspeak will sleep on) because they are flat almost immediately and I need some support. And you're right about those damned bill collectors. x( Blood suckers.

33. Don't go by my experience
I'm all screwed up, given my chronic intractible migraines and all. I could probably get the best pillow in the world and still not be completely comfortable or pain free.

43. They aren't
For now though I've got a lead on a new prophylactic med that I'm going to ask my doctor about. Perhaps that will be better than what I'm taking, which is not really doing the trick anymore.

17. Morning, Clint!
It's already friday night here, and after 7 hours of classes today, am I tired or what? Well, mentally tired. Feel so fit I was practicing Capoeira in my living room... much to the amusement of my flatmates... (because I always practice the moves I'm bad at, I look very ungraceful).

Feelin' pretty wonderful but with the footy* on no-one is going out, (least not to anywhere a 17yo can go) So I've time to chat.

How are you? Did you know that one day I'll reply before you? (I wish)

*football.

:hi:
I'm doing just fine, Man! But, I think I'm going to have to go research what Capoeira actually is because I've never heard of it. I'll get back to you on that point once I have a better understanding of what you were trying to do. :rofl:

29. No need! Capoeira is a Brazillian (no joke) Martial Art...
disguised as dance! It's really graceful and whatnot, but I am not... not yet anyway, though a man can dream... (NO! Not 'those' dreams!).

Developed by slaves, that's why it is hidden as a dance, so the masters couldn't tell.

I FEEL WONDERFUL! Excercise that includes moving and strecthing and whatnot that you rarely do is really energy-giving... mmmmmmmm.......

32. Well I think the old saying applies here...
"Practice makes perfect"
The more you do it the better you'll get. I'm going to look to see if there's a video of it being done online somewhere so I can get an idea of what it looks like in motion.

38. "Practice makes for a well-practiced fool"
may be more appropriate! (just kidding)

It's approaching April 1st! I'm going to try to muster support for a big trick on GD. Something like posting 'Rush Limbaugh: America's next astronaut?' Or perhaps: 'White house announces Iraqi insurgents are attempting to build death star' in GD then getting all the loungers to reccommend it, thus getting it onto the greatest page.

Whatcha think?

44. Who? Me? Captain innocent?
Whatever gave you an idea like that? Well, because I said so, but still, IS THAT ANY reason to go around suspecting people? According to *, no, but if you're a librul, you'd better watch out... you'll pay for that day.... you know that day what was really bad? Yeh, 11/9, that's it.

It's good to see you today! I'm off on Monday and Thursday this upcoming week, so I don't really HAVE a Friday I guess. Pitfall of working in retail.

Thank you for the nice sentiment! I hope you have something that makes you smile today too, my dear! :loveya:

I'll be in London at 11pm tonight. I have to work till 4pm, then I go home and pack my stuff. I haven't done a thing yet. But I have enough time till the bus to Frankfurt Hahn leaves.

Hey, maybe I am going to give you a call. A meeting won't be possible I fear.

120. Hello, MissHoneychurch--
Not sure if I have missed you as I see you are leaving for a trip to London soon.

Yes, you, TJ and billyskank together would likely set up some sort of harmonic cosmic convergence that would turn many Lounge denizens green with envy. I think I am turning green at the thought of it!

I am back at work after being ill and pitiable for most of this week. I back to being myself again now!

Have a wonderful weekend! :loveya:

I think I know what I will do in London but I can't say it or this thread gets locked :blush:

But I plan to go downtown tomorrow with my date. I want to go on top of the St. Pauls Cathedral and have a view over London. I did that two years ago and the view was just gorgeous.
I will take my camera with me so you can expect pics again :)

109. Morning Clintmax and everyone, my plans are very simple........
.....get through today. The week nd will then be a breeze - I hope.

They are shutting the water off in a couple of hours for ??. Some kind of repair work in our building that was built back in the 80's and don't have individual shut offs.:spank: So I'm going through filling everything I can find with water in hopes that all my needs will then be covered.

:donut: At least this is already covered :donut: so I'll have my caffeine anyway.

Take care all and remember we :dem: can do anything if w just keep our eyes on the bigger picture.
