Good Saturday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:hi::donut:
Welcome to the Saturday edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: We made it through the work week and now it's time for the weekend to begin! :woohoo: I hope you didn't have too stressful a week! My lazy vacation is almost over. x( I have three days left, and it seems like I just started it. Strange how that happens, huh? :rofl:

So, what are you going to do this weekend? Anything exciting? I hope it's not all chores around the house. Who, me? Well, I was hoping to go to Orlando this morning, but Greekspeak JUST NOW went to bed, so I don't think that's going to pan out. I think I'll use today as a Flea Market day and just enjoy looking. Maybe taking some pictures along the way.

Are you ready to get this weekend started, my crew? It's time to rise and shine! :bounce: So, let's get it going!

2. Good morning Clint!

It's the same old same old for me. I'm glad you still have a few days left of vacation though. :woohoo:

[Clintmax]

5. Good Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you! :loveya: I have a feeling it may turn out to be the same old thing for me too. Now that I've watched the video for "All Over The World", I want to watch Xanadu again! :bounce:

[NMMNG]

8. I've never seen Xanadu

I may rent it and watch it just for the fun of it one day. It does have a number of good songs on the soundtrack.

[Clintmax]

12. Oh my! Never??

Well then you're in for a treat! :bounce: It was made in 1980 and the acting isn't the greatest, but the soundtrack is awesome and it is funny as hells in places! Gene Kelly on roller skates! Imagine that! :rofl: If you're not at work, or you have the time, click the link I posted and watch the video. It's just taken right from the movie so you can get a feel for the whole thing!

[Robeson]

3. Hey Clintmeister!....

...hope you've enjoyed your vacation, and have had plenty of rest. The flea market sounds like a great thing to do. I'm going to the farmer's market tomorrow to see what the first crop of tomatoes look like. Nothing like them in the summer! They're even better in late July.

[Clintmax]

6. Hail, Robeson!

:hi:
I have had plenty of rest this time, that's for sure! Have fun at the farmers market tomorrow! When I was a kid, my grandmother used to take us there all the time. Boy, I miss those times.

[entanglement]

4. Howdy, Clint!

:hug: :)

[Clintmax]

7. Well Good Morning, Entangle!

:hi::hug:
Seems like forever since I've seen you! How have you been?

[entanglement]

11. Thanks, I'm ok

:hug:

Since it's a weekend, I'm quite drunk, so I apologize. Your Roxio problem get fixed?

[Clintmax]

13. Nope, never did.

I got Best Buy to return the program for me for store credit and I used it for other things. Screw Roxio, says I!

[Random_Australian]

9. ****FINISHED LAST EXAM THIS MORNING**** Good morning!

[Clintmax]

10. *CONGRATULATIONS, RANDOM!* Good morning!

:hi::bounce:
I'm sure you're happy about THAT, huh? :woohoo:

[Random_Australian]

Good enough to say twice! (dupe)

[Random_Australian]

14. Yep, and it was a much, much better exam than the Math ones!

:bounce::bounce: Not :bounce: one :bounce: to :bounce: show :bounce: you :bounce: up :bounce: usually :bounce: Clint :bounce: but :bounce: I :bounce: start :bounce: an :bounce: almost :bounce: ONE :bounce: MONTH :bounce: holiday :bounce: tomorrow!

Yay!

:woohoo: :D

[Clintmax]

15. I'm glad to hear it, Mate!

That it was a much better exam than the math ones AND that you have a MONTH off starting tomorrow! :bounce::woohoo: What are you going to do with THAT much time on your hands?

[Random_Australian]

17. Fly home on the 1st, spend a few weeks there (have not been since

I moved out on the 27th of February), then fly back!

And plot the end of the world.

(And perhaps bring some peace to the R/T forum)

[Clintmax]

19. Going home, huh?

So where's home?

[Random_Australian]

25. Where my profile says! I forgot to upgrade it, now I think of it.

I'll be out of contact with DU for 3 weeks, I think.

[Clintmax]

28. New South Wales.

I'd LOVE to come to Australia and see it! I've been to Rome, Italy and Australia is on my "Wish List" of places to visit as well! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

34. It's a nice place, and has lots of natural stuff... if you like nature,

everywhere has it's own little niches of goodness.

Btw, the sycophant to the RW slush channel (equal to the most RW we have) is running on its "Oh no!" current affairs program a story about gay marriage. The line they used was "People trying to live ordinary lives but bieng denied their rights" :) I thought it was cool.

[Clintmax]

38. I'm sure it's beautiful there!

You've got a lot of deadly snakes there, though. :scared:

Yeah, everybody's in an uproar because the hommasexuals want to get married. Because, you know...if we could get married, armageddon would promptly ensue.

[Random_Australian]

41. LOTS and LOTS of snakes.

But the point of the RW thing was that they were actually supporting gay marriage.

We have different RWers. :)

[Clintmax]

43. Oh. Well good for Australia!

I wish the U.S. had a more open mind about its citizens.

[Random_Australian]

44. The main difference is the Aussie indifference to religion.

(Except some Muslim/Terrorist posturing by fools, and of course our leader blocked gay marriage, but aside from that...)

The thing I was most struck by was the atheism thing. Nobody CARES about anyones religion. (In fact, bieng overly Christian is used as an insult in politics.... but the biggest political insult of them all is "you are trying to Americanise the health care system")

[Clintmax]

45. Yes, and religion is big here.

The christians would love to turn everyone to their beliefs because you know...they're the only ones right. x( I hate that.

[Random_Australian]

46. Anyway, happy things. Holidays. Superman on the TV.

Exams over. America far away. :)

[Clintmax]

47. *smile* That's right.

Happy things, Man! I think I;m going to sign off now and get some breakfast. Have a great time on your vacation, Mate! :hi:

[Random_Australian]

48. Thanks mate! Cya!

[Clintmax]

55. You're welcome!

See you here when you get back! And you never know...you may be able to use your parents computer once in a while and you can come in to say Hello!

[Random_Australian]

89. I might, yes, they just got hooked up to the net. Just dialup though.

(You don't get rural there like you do here, mostly)

[Clintmax]

92. That would be cool!

That way, you don't have to be away from DU the whole time you're away! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

99. Though since I was in the milestones AGAIN, with 7000

this time (I have been here less than five months) I don't think it will kill me to take a break.

[rhino47]

16. Good Morning Clint.

Happy day to you kind sir.

[Clintmax]

18. Good Morning, Rhino!

:hi:
Happy day to you too! You doing OK this morning?

[Broken_Hero]

20. tuesday...

tuesday night, at 10pm, watching superman returns...I can't wait! :) Oh, and good morning...;)

[Clintmax]

22. Good Morning, Peter!

:hi:
Yes, I'm all excited about it too! I can't wait to see it either! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

21. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

Oh, I'm sorry you aren't going to Orlando. That's a bummer. I hope your Flea Market day is fun! Make sure and show us your pictures! :bounce:

I'm not feeling too great today ... sort of like a truck ran into me. I hope I'm not sick. :scared: Going to have to take it easy today, maybe even sleep some more.

[Clintmax]

23. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug:
Things happen sometimes...you know how it is. I'm sure I'll have fun, flea marketing! I haven't been in a while, and I'll be sure to post any pictures I take!

I'm sorry you're not feeling well, my dear. :hug::loveya: I hope you aren't sick either. Being sick sucks. I'd get some more sleep too, if I were you. I hope you get to feeling better at ONCE!

[AirmensMom]

24. I used to LOVE going to the flea market.

They have all sorts of stuff you can't get anywhere else. :D

Thanks for the smile ... I'll try to get better at ONCE. :rofl: Tell that to my body. I'm thinking maybe it's rebelling against all the overwork from the past two months. The only way I'll stop is if it makes me, and it's doing that. :shrug: It couldn't be that bug bite making me feel sick, right? I mean, my finger isn't swollen or anything. I still haven't found out what it was.

I do have to get to the store today and buy some chicken for the cats and grind it up. They've been eating me out of house and home and their rabbit isn't going to last long enough for the order to get here this week. I would really hate to give them commercial food for more than a day or two, especially since they're doing so well. Anyway, maybe I can get that over with early and rest when I get back.

[Clintmax]

26. I love going too!

I collect the old 60's and 70's rotary phones (remember them?) and with the exception of eBay, flea markets are the only place to find them. No, it couldn't be the bite. If it were, your finger would be red, swollen and hurt like hells.

I hope you can get your errands done early and get back so you can rest and take a nap. If you're not feeling well, you need to do that.

[AirmensMom]

31. Yeah, I remember.

My parents had one until just a few years ago. Things would have to be REALLY broken before they'd replace them. What do you do with them, just put them on a shelf? Do they have to work?

I didn't think it could be the bite. Just coincidence. I know I need to rest and will definitely do that. Harleykid might come over today, but that won't matter. She's perfectly happy lounging around.

The horses went on a trip for the weekend and aren't in the pasture. :( Seems strange not to have them here. I never did get around to taking pictures of them yesterday, but I will as soon as they get back. The black one is GORGEOUS. She has such a sexy little body and her coat shines like it's been polished. :loveya:

[Clintmax]

33. I use mine!

I have 3 in use in my house right now. A yellow kitchen wall phone, a baby blue table top phone here in the computer room and a white Trimline phone with a lighted dial in our bedroom. The rest I have on display in the living room. I LURVE my phones! :bounce:

I can't wait to see the pictures of the horses! I love those animals! :bounce::loveya:

[AirmensMom]

36. That's amazing.

I just got a picture of them in my head. I remember the princess phones -- one of my friends had one. I'm all cordless now, except for an old clock radio phone in the guest room ... but even that's push-button.

I love horses, too. I can't wait to ride these!

Right now, I think I'd better get dressed and get my errands done so I can come back and sleep off whatever's happening to me. I hope you have a wonderful day. Say hi to Greekspeak. :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Clintmax]

42. I surely will!

I hope you can get everything done quickly so you can rest. Have a great weekend, my dear! :loveya::hug::hi:

[billyskank]

87. Hi AirmensMom!

:hug: :hi:

[sbj405]

27. Good Morning, Clint!

It's supposed to rain all weekend, so I'm looking for some indoor stuff to do. It's been pretty hot though, so hopefully this front cools things down a bit. Flea Market sounds like a good way to spend some time.

[Clintmax]

29. Good Morning, Sbj!

:hi:
If you need the rain, I hope it does for you, but I'm sorry it has to be on the weekend. Why can't it rain during the week when we're all at work and not rain at all on the weekend when we're not?

[sbj405]

35. I agree, but we do need the rain.

[Clintmax]

40. I think a lot of places need it too.

So, I guess we shouldn't complain.

[LaurenG]

30. OOO I love ELO

Thanks for the video! We will NOT slave away all weekend long so no, not just chores for us. I'm a load away from being totally finished with laundry and the vacuuming is almost done and we went to the store for the most important item of all...cat food. As you know cats will not be denied! lol

I hope you have a fun and creative day and get some good food in ya it makes it so much easier to have energy and function. :hi: :hug:

[Clintmax]

32. Good Morning, Miss OhioB!

:hi::hug:
You're welcome! I love that video too, the movie and ELO! :bounce: Sounds like you've got your chores almost all done so you can spend the weekend how you want to! I hope you have a fun time the next two days too, my dear! Boy, you're right about the cats not being denied! :rofl: Mine is the same way, as I'm sure all cats are. When they want fed, they want it right this damned minute thank you. :rofl:

[billyskank]

85. OhioBlues!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hi: :D

[LaurenG]

90. Yay Billyskank!

:bounce: :bounce: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hi: :D and I'll raise you a...:yourock:, :applause: and a :woohoo:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

37. Good morning, Clintmax!

[Clintmax]

39. Good Morning, Starbucks!

:hi:

[Minnesota Libra]

49. Good Saturday morning to everyone................

....hope this finds everyone kicking back and enjoying some down. :hug: I'm going with a couple of friends today and we're going to do lunch.:bounce:

BTW, does Greekspeak work nights or was last night an evening out??

Be good to each other and keep at those misguided neocons.:banghead:

[Clintmax]

52. Good Morning, Minnesota!

:hi:
I hope you have a good time today! Greekspeak just wasn't tired all night and didn't come to bed until I woke up and told him to. :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

50. Hello

I'm ready to have my last cup of coffee at home before I spend all day driving in the rain.

[Clintmax]

53. Good Morning, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
I'm having some coffee too. Where are ya going that you're going to have to spend the entire day driving in the rain?

[In_The_Wind]

58. I'm heading south to pick-up Miss Sugar Smack.

www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5296678&mesg_id=5296941
Let the good times roll.

[Clintmax]

64. Sweet! I'm sure you'll have fun, Miss Joan!

:bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

73. We'll be where my heart is.

She said she loves to fish.
We'll enjoy day trips to all of the Keys.
Who knows maybe we'll go job hunting while we're there.

[Clintmax]

74. Job hunting!

Really?

[billyskank]

86. Hi Joani!

:loveya: :hug: :hi: :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

100. Hi billyskank!

It's great to see you!

[billyskank]

101. You too, sweetie

:hug:

[newyawker99]

51. Good morning everyone!

:donut:




:hi:

[Clintmax]

54. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
I hope you have a fantastic weekend, my dear! :loveya:

[riona]

56. Fl check-in

Peace reigned last night - we left the br door open for the cat. Who'd a thunk? :rofl: I guess everyone and his dog is buying fireworks for the 4th - there's a stand or tent every block selling the stuff. Last year they celebrated for days. Hope you find a treasure at the flea market.

[Clintmax]

61. Good Morning, Miss Flblu!

:hi:
I'm glad you had a peaceful night. I haven't seen any fireworks stands go up yet here in Tallahassee, but I'm sure they're coming!

[femmocrat]

57. Can I join?

I'm relatively new to DU, and have only posted in GDP until now. You all seem like such a nice group! Mind if I join you? Thanks!

[Random_Australian]

59. Sure, but the Clint himself has already departed (I think)

so turn up a little earlier tomorrow, and he will add you to the list!

(Feel free to post anyway, this is pretty informal)

[femmocrat]

60. Thank you.... nice to meet you. :-)

[Random_Australian]

67. A belated welcome to DU to you!

72. Wow!!! That was incredible! Thank you!

[Random_Australian]

76. I have a few of those up my sleeve, and I am most glad you like it.

*takes bow*

[Clintmax]

63. I'm still here, Random!

Thank you for helping, Mate!

[Random_Australian]

66. Psh! You said "I might sign off" in our conversation above, that is why

I said "cya". Got me all confused. ;). :)

[Clintmax]

70. Yes, I know.

But I've been working on some things and haven't actually left yet. :rofl: Sorry to confuse you, Mate!

[Clintmax]

62. Good Morning, Femm!

:hi:
Sure you can! Just come in and share your morning with us! I'll add your name to the crew roster and you're in! :bounce: Welcome to the Early Morning Crew! :bounce::hi:

[femmocrat]

65. Thank you! Nice to meet you all !

Do you meet every morning or just on Saturdays?

[Clintmax]

68. We meet every morning!

It's nice to meet you too! :bounce: Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Random_Australian]

69. Every day except Sunday, usually.

I think. I am a almost an entire day ahead, so I can't really tell.

[Clintmax]

71. Yes, most of the time not on Sunday...

but we will tomorrow. I'm on vacation after all! :bounce:

[femmocrat]

75. Thanks... hope to see you again soon.

I'm going out to plant some perennials before it rains again! wave!

[Clintmax]

80. I hope to see you again too!

Come in anytime! I usually start the Crew thread between 5:30 and 5:45 am eastern time. :hi:

[Random_Australian]

82. And about 8:00 pm my time!

[Clintmax]

93. Wow. Time differences suck.

We're just getting our day started here and yours is nearly over.

[Random_Australian]

94. They are not that bad. In truth, they are almost as good a way to wind

down the day as they sound like they are to start it up.

[Clintmax]

95. Hey, that's true!

I'm glad, Mate! :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

77. I hadn't thought of that! Cool. Enjoy your last few days, that's for sure.

[Clintmax]

81. Thanks, Mate!

I'm sure going to try!

[lizziegrace]

78. Good morning Clint!

The storms brought us a beautiful morning here. 63 degrees and a breeze from the north. I'm working at my friend's gift shop and garden center today. Tomorrow is free. :)

How've you been? I haven't caught up with you in a while!

[Clintmax]

79. Good Morning, Lizzie!

:hi:
Yes, it HAS been a while! It's good to see you! I've been on vacation for the past six days so I've been great! Sounds like you're going to have a pretty decent weekend.

[lizziegrace]

84. Vacation?

They go much too quickly. Still lovin' your car? Looking at houses?

Details Clint, details! :)

[Clintmax]

91. LOL! Yes, I LOVE my new car!

It's awesome to have! We've put a hold on looking at houses...I need to get a few things in line before I commit to over a hundred thousand dollars of debt.

[lizziegrace]

96. I can relate to the debt issue

Have a wonderful weekend Clint!

Oh, for pictures of the farm, use this link and type hello for the password.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v318/heathersu/?sc=3

There are 3 pages total.

:hi:

[Clintmax]

97. You have a wonderful weekend too!

I'll check out the pictures! Thanks for the link! :bounce::hi:

[billyskank]

83. Hi Clint

I just got back from shopping in town. I bought tee-shirts, socks and stuff, and some swimming shorts because yvr girl said there is an awesome pool where she lives.

:woohoo:

Wierd thing. I met a friend from Birmingham while I was out. He just happened to be here, and he said he was just thinking "this is where billyskank lives. I wonder if I will see him?" Five minutes later he saw me walking down the street.

:wtf:

Bedford isn't a big town, but it's big enough for that to be a wierd coincidence.

Especially as that was the first time I'd ever walked along the particular street where he met me. :crazy:

[Clintmax]

88. Good Morning, Billy!

:hi:
Isn't it strange how that stuff happens? Makes one wonder about ESP and the like. Sounds like you've had a good time so far! I love to go shopping!

[Clintmax]

98. Time to get going, My Crew!

I'm starving and it's time for breakfast! I hope you have a great day today and I'll see you in the morning! Take care of each other. :grouphug::hi:

Clint
