Good morning Lounge

How are you today? How was your weekend?

I had Saturday off and therefor a full weekend. YAY me. Not that I did much. I mainly slept but also actually was capable to sort all my paperwork. Which lay around for months.

Tomorrow I'm going to the movies. It is a German movie about one of our most important poets, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1440180/

Picture of the Day (no, that is NOT Goethe ;) )

1. Good morning MissH!

Glad to hear that you had the weekend off and could relax.

My weekend zoomed by, and I can't believe that it's Monday already!

Sounds like a great movie to watch! You'll have to let us know how you liked it.


:hi: :loveya: :hug:

4. Good morning, Miss H

I'm doing alright I suppose. I'd be better if they get me out of this loading dock in time. I'm out in the Los Angeles, California area and I need to get this delivery off before I can move on to my final stop which I am due at in and hour and a half- 8 o'clock local time.

I had a very good weekend. I had some down time and I got to visit with CaliforniaPeggy. I have a couple of threads about it here, including one with pictures, if you'd like to check them out. She and her husband are very nice people.

What do you think of my new avatar and sig line?

... my weekend started this morning (well... last night) and I plan
on sleeping a lot (I'm very tired this week).
.
If I have any trouble falling asleep (hahahahaha), you've given me
an idea of how to treat that.
.
EVERY time I try to read "Faust", I Goethe sleep.

This cat has Koko wrapped around his little finger:

From Wikipedia.com:
.
All Ball was a pet cat of Koko, the famous gorilla living in Woodside, California, who
is purported to communicate via sign language. Koko's relationship with All Ball was
featured in the 1987 Children's book Koko's Kitten, which was written by Koko's
trainer, Dr. Francine 'Penny' Patterson. In the book, Patterson reported that, in the
summer of 1984, Koko asked her for a cat. Koko selected a gray male Manx from a
litter of abandoned kittens and named him "All Ball." This breed is unusual in that it
has no tail. Patterson wondered whether that influenced Koko's choice. Patterson
wrote that Koko cared for the kitten as if it were a baby gorilla.

In December of that same year, All Ball escaped from Koko's cage and was hit and
killed by a car. Later, Patterson claimed that when she signed to Koko that All Ball
had gone, Koko signed “Bad, sad-bad” and “Frown cry-frown sad.” Patterson also
reported later hearing Koko making a sound akin to human weeping. Patterson uses
this to argue that non-human species can have human-like emotions.

In 1985, Koko was allowed to pick out two new kittens from a litter to be her companions.
The animals she chose, later named "Lipstick" and "Smokey," were also Manxes like All Ball.

9. Guten Abend by now

it's after 9pm

Ahhhh ... Faust .... but Faust is still more interesting than "Wallenstein" by Schiller. I had to read it in school and I literally fell asleep while trying to read it. I decided to not read it again for the finals. One time was more than enough for a lifetime.

What a wonderful story with the gorilla and the kitty. I read here on DU that there was a gorilla in Africa who had a kitty also. In the wilderness.
