Good Morning!

Here's your revival G.T.

*hands out fresh coffee for all fellow coffee-addicts* mmmm.....have finished my customary pot of java...just got done with my breakfast and I'm thoroughly enjoying the fact that today means 'beach day' is only 3 days away! YEAH!

I have the usual laundry to do today along with some more back ups so I can reformat my puter...just love starting fresh every once in a while. Have quite a few phone calls to make ( Halo...I know..I know...today I promise! )...I hate making phone calls....interupts my peace and quiet...lol May go for a walk later...forecast is for a high of 87 today with the usual Florida possibility of some rain this afternoon. And...I think star and I will be going grocery shopping tonight...maybe not though, he may be totally wiped out when he gets home from work...poor guy didn't sleep again last night.

So what's on your agenda for today?

 

hahaha lmao

err... celebrating the fact that my summerholidays have already begun or something like that, nothing too demanding anyways

 

Good morning peoples.

It's not my fault YOU live in the wrong time zone fishy...I'll be nice though and say good afternoon! Glad you got the exam out of the way...how do you think you did and do you have more coming up?

 

Meatloaf for dinner tonight


....and a good morning to you, too.

 

...rubs eyes and realized he is almost late to work..

No time to surf there.

Thanks for the greetings.

It is now morning on the left coast...

 

Taking it easy today...had a rough time yesterday and didn't sleep so good either. Smoke alarms are great but I wish they wouldn't lie! Tonight going to the monthly girls Bunko evening so that should be fun

Enjoy your day everyone

 

Morning.... wait no.
Afternoon....wait no.
Evening... that's better!

Glad you're nearly on your beach trip abby, I've only got 5 exams to go, had english language and graphics today - both of which I found scarily easy!!!

 

Off work today, saying goodbye to my daughter at Vancouver airport. She's off to join her sister in England, and then both of them are off to Pompeii to dig for a couple of months.

First time my wife and I will have had an empty nest....

 

I think I did good on Chemistry.. All I got now is Maths and Physics left to gofer

 

Mornin', just work so far, but you know how that goes lol.

 

Revival? Like a bit tent with a screaming preacher up front?

Coffee that early doesn't help, as I'm still asleep. But I'm actually just having my first cup NOW, as we were out of coffee filters here at work. I guess I should have gotten up early and taken advantage of your kind offer. New telephone system still isn't debugged, so it's been crazy again today.

 

Still answering calls to Emergency dispatch are we?

Mmm, coffeee.... I could do with a coffee. And a biscuit. Its nice out. I'm sitting in the garden with my cats, who are merily prancing around in the grass. I did an emergency stop in my driving lesson today, dudey said it was "absolutley perfect"

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/star17abby/yikes.gif Star just said (and I quote!) "If I find out there's any hoohaah going on between you two tell Halo I'm going to reprogram the shuttle to drop the boosters right over his living room!"






OMG! BWAHAHAHAHA! ROFLMAO! I'm dyin here..*cracking up* http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/star17abby/iconrofl.gif




Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

 

Alright Ken...you HAD to go ahead and say 'meatloaf' didn't ya? When we get moved to a place where we can have a grill y'all are gonna have to eat your words about MY meatloaf that star has never had yet! I just can't bring myself to cook it any other way but on the grill..it's so good that now having it any other way just doesn't do it for me. Oh..and good mor....errrr...Afternoon!

Afternoon Boom! Another one of those peeps who lives in the wrong time zone...Ya gotta live on the 'right' coast to be in the 'right' time zone...sheesh..

Lev! Sorry you had a rough night..hope your day is going much smoother!

Afternoon McA! What is up with your title? I thought you had a new one? Glad your exams seemed easy...that's usually a good indicator of how you did.

Ahh....Mr. Pewty...the empty nest syndrome...it's great for the first night or two...then it seems like everything echos LOL What kind of a dig are your daughters going on? Oh Yeah! And BTW!! What's this about you bonding with Star? hhmmmmm?????

Come on Blusey...that's the best you got? Hope you're feeling better...figure you must be to some extent if you managed tacos and tequila eh?

GT...no, no, no!...for YOUR revival I lined up a dancing do-do bird to serve you coffee...you mean to tell me you missed it? And then got ALL the way to work and no coffee filters? Oh man! I'm so sorry...I think fishy might have at least gotten some pics though...

Sorry about the phone system...what a PITA that must be...

 

BWAHAHAHA...YOU tell him to leave your hoohaa's out of it.....ROFLMAO

Email or PM?...

 

first let me chug the way cold coffee from this morning as it's now shortly after noon here.

my agenda includes getting my kids registered for school next year as they are switching schools.
and calling my cable company to cuss them out about cable problems.
I always cuss more when I have to use a phone for anything.
other than that. good morning MG

 

hrmmm...which account then...gmail or mg? I don't have anything so far....*sniff, sniff*

 

Hey..cold coffee is better than NO coffee...lol

I don't like to use the phone either...I procrastinate...a GREAT deal when I have to

How old are your kids?

 

first off, ANY coffee is appreciated, I'm a coffee junkee, growing up in Seattle it's in the genes I guess.

and the phone thing.. OMG, I do everything online, if I can't and have to use a phone I put it off as long as I can and then hate every second of it. lol
I have 3 little girls my oldest is 8 going on 21 she LOVES the phone(definately not from my side of the family) a 4 almost 5 year old starting kindergarden next year and a 3 year old who is going to make me bawl like a baby when she leaves me to go to school too.

 

Hmm I really should force myself to like coffee, but I'm more of a tea person myself. Any ways you can suggest into liking coffee??!!!

 

Yeah, it is. TOTAL VOIP. The phones piggyback on the LAN lines, no phone lines at all. When I got to work Monday, my puter couldn't even log onto the network.

 

You may be beyond help...lol
I think it's almost a genetic thing I grew up smelling it all the time, seeing it and drinking it. I bought my first bean grinder before I bought dishes.
first step though is the scent. spend time in coffee shops or at the homes of coffee addicts.
second step is to immerse yourself in coffee culture. just as tea has thousands of varieties and ways to make it, so does coffee.
most tea drinkers tend to underestimate the types and varieties of coffee there really are.
and.. if you never do grow to love coffee.
My most profound condolences...lol

 

Thanks Abby...so far so good Ohhhhh...the power of chocolate

 

McA - Do what softcell says. Especially the sitting in coffee shops. Great places to sit and think. That and start programming profesionally. Even if you hate coffee, you won't be able to survive without it Or you'll go straight to caffiene pills, which is a bit of a big step if you ask me, but if you're in the middle of a job and the coffee maker is too far, pop one and get someone else to put a pot on

My name is Chris, and I am a caffiene addict.

 

My response -

My name is Jon and I'm a chocolate addict, oh and beer goes down well too. Good night everybody, well, enjoy the rest of your day you folks in US!!

 

Probably when Hell freezes over. The more I learn about this POS, the surer I am that it's not capable of handling things the way they HAVE to be handled here. Whoever decided to buy it did NOT do his homework first.

I'm rapidly losing my normally sunny disposition, and we're rapidly driving our customers away.

 

They are both archaeology students. They're going as part of this:

Its not morning anymore and hasnt been for about 7 1/2hrs now.. so...

Good evening fellow geeks! How was your day?

I spent ~9hrs working outside in the heat sweating bucketloads the entire time, thinking about taking a nice cold shower soon

 

How awesome is that!? WoW! I've been perusing the site and followed some of the links...looks to be very well organized and an excellent educational opportunity..nothing like field work...wish I could go with them...absolutely fascinating!l You must be so proud of both of them...

 

Good evening Eric....looks like we were posting at the same time again What kind of work were you doing?

 

I work outside in a car salvage yard, running back and forth getting parts, swapping tires on cars for customers, etc.. running around, going up and down stairs many times in the heat can be tiring

 

I get the picture....my son used to work at one of those places about 5 or 6 years ago....he really liked it but boy oh boy was he stinky when he got home some days..lol

You still trying to lose weight?

 

Yes ma'am still am.

Highest I saw myself as was about 335, now I am down to 283

 

Aren't you glad you're not hauling that extra 50 pounds around out there?

That job should definitely help burn off more!

 

I probably burned a few today from all the sweating I did today

And yes, I am very glad

 

eric's quite busy these days, he works at penneys, at the junk place and he also helps us clean a bowling alley a few nighta a week. Thats a lot of calories he'sburning up!
and the fact that I hardly cook anymore lol
I give him a lot of credit tho cause at first he starting taking these pills that have ephedera in it ( it's illegal here) he dropped a lot of weight. When I found out that these pills were no good I made him stop taking them.
Now, almost 2 months later, he's learned to cut down on the junk food, drinks a lot less soda ( which packs on the weight as we know) and happy to say, he hasn't gained any of the weight back!
I'm very proud that he's sticking to it as we know it can be easy to lose weight. the hard part is keeping it off!

 

you're at the office? bad luck halo, i dont have any exams today, so I will actually be able to enjoy the weather

morning everyone else, I don't know whats so great about tea, coffee, or anything like that. Just give me some oj, water, or.... hot chocolate

 

That's AWESOME!!! Eric! I'm really happy for you and proud of your accomplishments. WooHoo!!! Keep up the good work!

 

*GASP* I've been sitting here for at least 45 minutes waiting for you to share this coffee you put on and still nothing! Halo...I'm shocked that you would withhold such a vital thing from me *THUD*

Suppose to be another beautiful day here...currently 74 with a high of 94 expected..along with the usual 'possible' rain for this afternoon. Waiting for it to get light out...I can hear the birds are starting to get active outside the window...should see the usual group of snowy egrets around 10am for their morning snack in the marsh....haven't seen any sea otters make their way up the channel in a while but I keep watching for them....maybe today will be the day

Also got word that my mom may be released from the hospital next week...I think she will do much better being back home...the Dr.'s are hopeful this move will reduce the stress she is feeling...if all goes as planned I'll be flying to NY next week to help out for a bit so keep your fingers crossed

Have a great day everyone!
