Good morning

[Avalon]

Good Morning Monkey Men and Women!

I had big plans of sleeping in wayyy late, unfortunately some four leggeds had plans of their own:rolleyes:

Just was well, got started early this way:)
now..more coffee!!!!!!!!

[Audreyvgs]

Mona the Poodle pokes me with her pointy evil nose til i wake up.

[sparticle]

Mornin', all!

In a very lazy mood and no ambition at all. Haven't been able to do anything right since I got out of bed, either.

I think I'll go try out for the Indians bullpen. ;)

[topcat]

good morning all, just to let you know, because i know you all want to know, i was up at the crack of noon

[Klynne]

Morning! Or good afternoon. Just came into the office to play catch up. I am out of here! Going to enjoy the weather!

[Aphrodite]

Good Morning!

Got Coffee?

[weissenflatz]

No coffee here. But good morning all the same!

I like soft boiled eggs in the morning..

[daverbee]

Morning, all!
Last call for postcards! I have three addresses so far, and six postcards to send out. Anybody wants postcards from St. Augustine, PM me your mailing addy by tomorrow morning and I'll send 'em out.
Good days to everyone!

[chuckie egg]

Morning Dave!

Would a postcard to England be to much to ask? ;)

[daverbee]

I PM'ed you my address. All I ask is one in return!
Enjoy your afternoon!

[Avalon]

Good Morning Krusty Monkey Krew;)

If it is, I shall have to go directly to mine and commit hari-kari out of shame:p

[daverbee]

You just can't see the month old milk in the fridge, the moldy bread in the cupboard, and the garbage can stuffed to the top underneath the sink. Also the semi-comatose family outside the picture frame...

[Avalon]

Good Morning Daver, Chuckie,Aphro..oh and you too bump boy:) LOL

[Avalon]

Awww, good morning sweetheart:p

[Red Princess]

good morning. i hope everyone did unspeakable things over the weekend

[Spicy Jack]

Morning. I didn't sleep well last night. Its the first time in a long time. Bleh. I'm so irritable that all the coffee in the world will not save this day. I'll go nap at lunch I guess. Luckily I work alone so I don't have to rip anyones head off. yeah. Well, happy monday to the rest of you sunshiney smiling monkeys.

[dinzdale]

I didnt sleep well either, brain wouldnt slow down, I was reciting details of stupid shit for hours........then when I finally did sleep, the fvcking alarm clock wouldnt shut up....:(

Now I know it was ALL YOUR FAULT !!!

[Red Princess]

morning dinz

[dinzdale]

What?

[Red Princess]

ask me nice and i will tell you of great and twisted weekend adventures, the like of which would curl your hair, assuming you still have some, and make you drool on your shirt, babble in your coffee, and make your pants feel too tight all day long.

[dinzdale]

*yawn*
No you wont, you'll just come out with the usual vague innuendo.

[Red Princess]

hahahaha, missed your chance. now you will just have to wonder. wanker

It's been such a swell day that I saved Good Morning for Good Afternoon!

Hope everyone's having a fine one!

[daverbee]

Hope everyone's having a fine one!

Has been so far. How's yours?

[sparticle]

It will be better when my sullen sack of sh*t son gets off his ass, quits mouthing off at me and blaming everyone around him for his problems of the day and gets out of the house.

*whistling a merry little tune*

Hey -- you want June Cleaver, watch Nick at Nite! :D

But thanks for asking, and I am glad your day is going well! ;)

[Willow Sylph]

Spart - so this is what I can look forward to when my son becomes a teenager? Oh boy. He showed me his first SINGLE armpit hair yesterday. I screamed in terror.

Good morning Weiss, daverbee, chuckie, lovely Avalon, Rune, and Aphrodite! Although it's probably the afternoon by now for some of you. Hopefully ya'll have woke up by now.

Dinz - your sparkling personality is refreshing to wake up to, as usual...

Red P - Yes, tell us about your exciting weekend! I, myself, did not have an exciting weekend. But I got a lot of housework done. Yippee!

Spicy - Good morning and a nice piece of fresh swiss cheese for you. ;)

[Spicy Jack]

Ooo Swiss, a bitter cheese for a bitter morning. Perfect! :D

Aren't you getting up a little late? It's already after 10am. :)

[Willow Sylph]

Lol. Well I hope the day gets better for you, Spicy. Yep, I'm starting my morning a wee bit late today. Cause I HATE Mondays! But I'm trying to be happy and all that sh*t. lol. :D

[Audreyvgs]

OH sparticle, what is the advice from you to save us from having our sons become sullen turds? I can see it comin, and have been working on him getting a good work ethic, maybe to keep his mind off his raging testosterone...whatddyou think. Hell, i was a sullen turd. But nobody can be sullen turds better than boys. I dont know nothin bout no boys.

Well, the mystery is compounded by the fact that his sister, though full of mischief and merriment, is responsible, well-behaved and caring. In short, everything I was not at her age.

*ahem* -- err, I think i just found part of the problem with my son.... LOL!

But each person, as I can see by looking at my two diametrically opposite kids, is very much an individual. I really do believe a lot of our mindset, response to the world around us and personality is, if not inborn, with us from a very young age. Son was apt to sit in a crappy diaper and squall blue hell, whereas daughter was ambitious enough to, at the ripe old age of 18 months, try to change it herself (with disastrously messy results, but it's the thought that counts. LOL). Some of us are born content to sit in crap, some will scream angrily as if crapped on until someone does something, and some will do everything they can to change it themselves whether they are able or not. It's the Tao of babies. LOL

[Avalon]

Jeeze, it is morning again lol

Morning Monkeys:) Hey Weissen!

coffeeeee...nooowwwwwww

[daverbee]

Morning, all!
No coffee, but I did bring instant oatmeal to work. Maple and Brown Sugar and Peaches and Cream. Good combo and good for keeping the cholesterol demons at bay. Which, in turn, keeps the Doctor at bay! :)

[chuckie egg]

That sounds nice, and safe.

A friend of mine is having cardiac surgery today, when (if) he gets through it, I'll give him that recipe.

[daverbee]

Tell him to do everything his doctor says and to exercise regularly. It's helped me avoid a repeat visit!
Wish him luck!

[chuckie egg]

Its a bit more complicated than that, he momentarily died last week under anaesthetic, but I'm praying for him. Not much else I can do. :(

[daverbee]

I will keep both of you in my thoughts today.

[Audreyvgs]

Well, spart. What a level head you have. Thanks for helpin ME keep level. Bink was a little bit smart-ass yesterday, I think that offended me worse than the sullen bits. I don't want one of those pseudo-intellectual smart assed kids. There's a can of whoop-ass around here with his name on it in cases such as these. Just as long as he knows it's there on the shelf is good enough at the moment. :)

[Aphrodite]

Good Morning Everyone!

New client starts today. I am so excited.

[sparticle]

Good Mornin', all.

Hope you are all well this fine Tuesday.

Happy for 'Dite's new client.

Got work to do today, and I'm grateful for that.

Blew off some steam yesterday; I don't often lose my temper but when I do it's worth the ticket price; had a little come-to-Jesus meeting with Mr. Son. It's fun watching somebody a foot taller and a hundred pounds heavier than I tremble in fear! Especially when they've been a burr in my nethers for many moons.

A little clearing of the air is good for the soul.

Hope everyone has a fine day!

Not TOO level headed (see above entry! LOL!)

What you've probably got is just a very, very smart kid (takes after Mom!;) ). I'll bet you're doing just fine -- they usually know their limits at that age, and it's their job to push 'em; and when, in the teen years, the "smart" part gravitates to his ass, just try to remember (as I do, every day, while gritting my teeth) that it's only a temporary dislocation and by the time they have kids of their own, they will think we're wise again.

Parenthood is not for sissies. :D

[Red Princess]

good morning. i am going to pick a fight with the boss today. i am feeling contentious

[Audreyvgs]

We could be the burr in Dinz'z nethers, if he'd like. But isnt that Beale's job?

[Avalon]

Pfft..like we should let that stop us??:p

We can aggravate the bejesus out of them both, just to give them further incentive to hammer on each other! How's that for sharing the love?

I just love it when everyone cooperates!

[Spicy Jack]

Well good morning all. Just checkingin.

I bought those gel wrist thingys for typing on the keyboard and the mouse. It is weird to get use to but I can see how it helps.

Woke up late so I haven't had my coffee yet. I am feeling pretty good but I had better juice up before the 2:30pm headache takes over. Stupid coffee addiction. I've tried so hard to quit but the motivation is not there.

Well happy sunny morning to you all. May your coworkers be friendly and you panties not bunch!

[Avalon]

It is morning..again.
Welcome Monkeys..let's get this farking party started. Looks like a longgggg day from where I am sitting:eek:

[daverbee]

Good Morning!
Well, I'm at work so I guess I better do work!

[RuneT]

Good morning. I'm off to England right about now.

[Aphrodite]

Good Morning All!

I am staying home today. Sore throat, cough. I'll stay in flannel and drink big cups of tea and warmed ginger/cinnamon/lemon/honey.

[RuneT]

Poor baby. Don't feel bad and enjoy the time of.

[Avalon]

So sorry Aph..keep warm and baby yourself!

Rune....have a wonderful and safe trip!

[sparticle]

Mornin', all!

Hope you feel better, Miss 'Dite!

Safe journey, Rune!

I am listening to Sheryl Crow singing "A Change Will Do You Good" and howling along. LOL

Have a good day, all.

[Audreyvgs]

Remember Rune, don't go to the party without bringin your hat.

[daverbee]

Hope you feel better, Aphro!

Have fun, rune!

Remember, sparti, according to a study I heard about, the number one cause of dust pollution in a home is "solo dancing on a rug". If you must raise hell to Sheryl Crow, make sure somebody is dancing with you! ;)

[Spicy Jack]

Mornin Monkeys! I'm still trying to get going this morning.

Hope you feel better Aphro - you sound nice and cozy, though.

[sparticle]

//the number one cause of dust pollution in a home is "solo dancing on a rug". //


hahaha -- so THAT's why this place is such a mess. :D

[daverbee]

Good Morning!

I'm gonna be doing a lot of solo dancing myself today. Forgot about a project that I need to finish but don't want to abandon the big one I started yesterday.
Another day of doing two things at once! Who said work isn't exciting?

[Avalon]

Morning Monkeys:)

Another early start for you Daver:) Wish I was as movtivated!

Going to be 80 degrees and sunny today..maybe that will do it:D

May your day start out great and only get better!! Whoohoo!

[chuckie egg]

You get to dance at work?! What exactly do you do for a living!? haha

[Aphrodite]

Good Morning Everyone!

The Gas company is coming over this morning to make repairs. I have been without hot water and heat since yesterday morning. It was rather chilly yesterday. Manageable at about 16 Celcius but damp.

[chuckie egg]

Good Mornin'. I drank my coffee too early this morning and almost didn't make it to the bathroom at work (1-2hour commute). HA. Now it is already wearing off. I better go fuel up again.

[Avalon]

Excellent :D

Dinz..I am impressed. Everyday you display a new talent;)

[Aphrodite]

Red Tagged means disconnected and non useable until all repairs are complete and it has been reinspected. It means condemned. Basically new furnace time.

There was a leak in the valve which may be why it was costing so much, and why our tummies have been kind of wonky and our heads a bit achey. He lit the valve so I could see the pretty blue flame that blow torched out from around the plastic switch.

Oh well. I must say it IS better to be too cold and damp, then to blow up. He explained what could have happened...I guess we are broke but lucky. Our pets...yeah we are all lucky.

Whoa Aphro...that's some scary shite...glad you got that leak looked at in time.

And good Morning all...Nice to see Dinz looking so perky.
Dinzdale...Master of the (silly) Dance.

[daverbee]

Morning, Coffee!
Glad to know everything is OK up there, Aphro!
Back to work! I call it a solo dance because I have a CD player in the woodshop. Right now it has Los Lonely Boys in it. Think of Richie Valens crossed with Carlos Santana and with a little bit of Stevie Ray thrown in for good measure.

[Aphrodite]

Good Morning all!

I have coffee and it is sunny. Not bad.

[Avalon]

I have coffee and rain lol

good friday morning

[chuckie egg]

YAY! Friday morning!!

It is a good one :)

[daverbee]

YAY! Friday morning!!

Did I understand you to say you have a three day weekend coming up? Whatcha gonna do?
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening to all our monkeys!

[chuckie egg]

Yep, its bank holiday on monday :D

I'm going to see a certain lady-friend this afternoon. Tonight, I'll be going to the pub..

Tomorrow I'm going to the Trafford Centre (http://www.traffordcentre.co.uk/) with Martin as Phils deserting me and going to watch the footy. Pub again at night, hoping for a lock in.

Sunday morning - church. Theres no evening service so we might have an all dayer :D

Monday will probably be spent recovering!

Inbetween all this I'll be mothering my mother with her poorly leg :)

[Avalon]

Daver!!
Hope today goes better for you. Ever thought of just boxing that guy up and sending him someplace??:p And NO..not to anyone on the Monkey Mail list either!! ;)

[daverbee]

He got fired a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, he isn't the only one who doesn't know their way around a woodshop.
I found one of our other guys, one who should have known better, about to cut a dado in a piece of 1x4 using only the chippers. He would have most likely ended up cutting his hand off or worse. I rescued him in time, though. One of these days, somebody is gonna do something stupid down here and I won't be around to stop it. That fact kinda scares me!

[chuckie egg]

eek

[Spicy Jack]

All the males in my family are either missing a finger or two or three or four, or at least the tip. We had a fencing buisness and the punch presses got um everytime. I inheritied the clumsy finger mashing trait but so far I have only sliced a few that were sewn back shut. :(

But, on a good note HAPPY FRIDAY! I think I might have a "date" this weekend. I've never really dated and I'm not much of a conversationalist so God only knows how this will turn out. Oh well. It's better than sitting at home I guess. I'm not even looking for someone, but my Mom is telling me "just go out, have fun". Whatever.

[daverbee]

I'm not even looking for someone, but my Mom is telling me "just go out, have fun".

There's only one serious rule that I would suggest -- bringing up or discussing any previous disastrous relationships is a no-no. Even if he asks, just tell him, "Oh, it didn't work out, but we're still on friendly terms," and change the subject. Even if that's a blatant exaggeration of the goodwill and your ex is a buttknob who ought to be tarred and feathered, bad-rapping the former companion is a bad move.

Be sure not to drink too much to ease the first-date jitters -- you could end up regretting it. Better to switch to mineral water after the first drink if you feel it. You want to have a good time but be comfortably in charge of yourself, not doing and saying stuff you're going to second-guess later.

Dress comfortably in something you've worn before that makes you feel pretty. First dates are no time to try out the new outfit that may or may not "work" once you're ready to go out the door. Go easy on the scent and the makeup, and just be you.

Especially that last part. Just be you -- if he doesn't adore you, he's nuts! ;)

Relax and have fun!

[Magpie]

Take your own car, that way if your date if a dud you can be upfront and honest about your feelings, sneak out the bathroom window and drive yourself home.

[dinzdale]

...and dont offer a table dance unless he has a nice fat wallet...

[sparticle]

You're absolutely right. I squirted a guy in the eye one time by biting into a cherry tomato. It would have made a great tryout for The Three Stooges, but it didn't impress my date.

I didn't hear from him again, but then again that may have had to do with my drinking seven Guinness and starting an argument about politics...

[red]

wow! I never remember what has happened when I drink that much Guinness. I'm impressed!

LMAO! Been there, done that.

Alternatively, strike up a relationship with some other guy at the party/bar/restaurant and have him drive you home! Gets the message across AND gets you home, plus you can get shitfaced drunk and don't have to drive!

Just ask us -- we'll coach you through it! Then, when you've listened to us and taken all our sage advice, you'll have more time to spend here on the monkey board! :D

Okay so...

1. No messy food.
2. No bitching about the arsehole ex.
3. Easy on the lushieness :p - One will be enough
4. Dress comfy.
5. Take my own car (see #3 again)
6. Table dance. (wear panties)
7. Be myself.

Sounds good! Thanks. And if #7 doesn't scare him off, I might be okay.

[Avalon]

You will be fine! Pretend he is one of us. NO! Wait, that's no good lol

Good Saturday Morning Monkeys!!

[Spicy Jack]

Mornin' monkeys. It is a good monday for some reason. who knows, maybe I'm nuts. Remind me not to hang out here all day, I actually have stuff I have to get done here at work. Yeah, I know that is odd, it's just some nasty stuff I have been putting off for a week. I get to be Darth Vader today and try not to gag my brains out. Crap! I forgot my camara. Oh well. I don't need it I guess. Well, ya'll have a great monday and I am going to enjoy this coffee high while it is still streaming through me. *hugs*

[topcat]

good morning, monday is my favorite day

[Spicy Jack]

you are nuts

[RuneT]

maybe something happened this morning

[Spicy Jack]

Yeah, maybe the first seal was broken and we have all fallen under the spell of the man on the white horse

f-it, i'm happy, i'll go with that

[daverbee]

It's been a good morning so far in spite of the fact that somebody stopped up a sink in our OT/PT dept. and left it running all weekend. Ruined several dozens of ceiling tiles on our second and first floor not to mention the cabinet where the sink was. We're having people come in to check the x-ray machines that were on the second floor, directly underneath the sink.
Grrrrrrrrrr! No jury in the world would convict any of us!

AllI could picture when I read this was Randy Quaid in "Christmas Vacation". Standing outside, emptying his travel trailor's septic tank into the storm sewer, yelling to Chevy Chase; "Shvtter's Full!!":p

[Audreyvgs]

Hahahahahaaaaa, Bink calls it the Honeywagon, i think,, as I recall I said cacasucker once and was extremely grateful that he hadn't heard it and changed the subject. I made the same almost-mistake and called him a farkwad once, but he didn't hear it..........:eek: *phew*

[Coffee]

Good morning all.

been online 10 minutes so far today and one hack attempt caught by firewall. :rolleyes:
But no drains clogged so far...so it is a good monday.

Oik (n.)
Person of uncouth manners, generally uneducated, slovenly appearance. Bealish.

[Spicy Jack]

Wow Dinz, you're in one heck of a good mood. You feelin' alright over there buddy? You should really lay off the crack this early in the mornin'.

Morning Monkeys! I'm ready for cup 2 of coffee. So much for weaning myself off of my coffee addiction.

I refuse to cut out coffee. I do that and the next thing I'll be cutting out is paper dolls.

[Avalon]

I say if she (spicy) tries it one more time..we do an intervention!!
Life without coffee is just not worth it!:p

[Frieda]

:(

[Avalon]

awww what's the matter Frieda???:confused:

[lapietra]

Oh, dear Frieda... why so sad? :(

*smoogies* :D

[daverbee]

Good afternoon! (Maybe someone should start a Good Afternoon thread? We got a Morning and G'Night thread, so...)

Back to work!

[lapietra]

I think that's a great idea! It's still morning here tho'...

[Frieda]

Sunny day, takin' my cares away.....

On to the coffee!

[daverbee]

Good Morning!
Off to get things done! In a little while...

[sparticle]

G'mornin', all.

*hugs* to Frieda.

I just saw where President BushyTail was in Toledo. There is no front page coverage of Avvy shooting the moon or flinging poop. I am surprised.


Good day to put some henna in my hair so I can be a true hussy. I'm sitting here letting it do its thang.

Have a fine mornin' all.

[topcat]

good morning, enjoy the day

[Audreyvgs]

Ahhhhhhh!

[Avalon]

Mornin' Aphrodite!

Morning all you yet to awaken Monkeys!!
Coffee is on...GET UP!

[Avalon]

Morning Daver and Spart..found this and thought of you guys. Made me laugh..but I am easily amused;) http://www.strangecosmos.com/images/picturejokes/16750.JPG

[xerocs]

This morning I was having a bad morning... Then Paige brought me a fresh cup of coffee out of the blue... fresh, hot coffee for no reason... to my formation... in front of my boys... the analytical side of me wanted to just get deep... but the me side of me just enjoyed the smile that went with the coffee... my whole day was better after that.... that one little thing... think that means anything?

Oh, since you monkeys are just waking up... Have a glorious morning!

[masterofNone]

a brand new day. hell. a brand new year.

[daverbee]

a brand new day. hell. a brand new year.
Well then, HAPPY NEW YEAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mornin' all. I can happily report that I haven't killed the three orchids I brought home last week. However, there's still time to start a betting pool on when it happens..
Going out this evening to look for Starbuck's in a can.
Thanks for the picture, Avvy. I can't think of a worse job in sports than lineman in a hockey game. Unless it's umpire in a baseball game. Why deliberately subject yourself to all that abuse?
Speaking of abuse, gotta get to work.
Have good ones, all!

[Audreyvgs]

mist those orchids.


I'm havin' a rare 2nd cup. I want to be zippy today.




Good Mornin, I wonder how PFP is doin with the new job, wonderin if people up north there still have to wear pantyhose. They discontinued the requirement here like 10 yrs ago. Men don't even wear socks with loafers, heaven forbid you had on a pair of topsiders with socks.

[bealeblues]

i hate seis de mayo

[dinzdale]

And she hates you.

[topcat]

good morning, another great day

[weissenflatz]

Good morning, I'm going home!

[Red Princess]

good morning monkeys. what are you wearing?

[Spicy Jack]

GOOD MORNING :D

:D :D :D

I'm in a damn good mood! I even left my stupid coffee in the car and I am stil happy. Hmmmm? :D Mornin mornin mornin!


And Happy New Year!

[Avalon]

Whoohooo Spicy..
How was that date???:D

[Spicy Jack]

:D ;)

[dinzdale]

Did he toss your salad?

[Spicy Jack]

We did have salad! Thanks for asking Dinz!

[Frieda]

evening

[xerocs]

Good morning... NO!

The guy that I work for has me sitting in the office because his lackey is off today and he needs someone with a backbone... problem is if I do a good job then I will never see the North Gate again... If I do a shitty job then I look like an idiot....

[daverbee]

Good Morning, all!
Got the orchids in the bathroom on the advice of a friend. She's a horticulture major at UF. Working on her Masters. They get misted every morning when I shower! :)
Lots to do, again, so have good ones all!
Spicy, sounds like your date went well! I'm glad!

[Audreyvgs]

Ohforgoshsakes, put em out under a tree like I do with all mine. If they don't get rained on all summer every day like they do here, turn the hose on em 3x a week, spray some fertilizer every so often.
They can't stay in the bathroom. they need light!

Oh, btw, Good Morning!

[weissenflatz]

orchids? bwuff..

I prefer tulips or roses.

And yes, a good morning to you all

[Avalon]

Pfft..I could kill air fern :o

The Botanical Gardens have my picture up with a slash through it lol ahhh well:rolleyes:

Good Morning!!
Had a night full of storms and they promise more through out the day..wheeeee

That's okay..I have already seen Hugh Jackman this morning, so all is right with the world!!:cool:

[chuckie egg]

Good morning!

Blue skie all round here, the birds are singing, the sun is shining *ahhh*

;)

[Aphrodite]

Good Morning all.

Sunny after thunderstorms. Wicked eh Avalon?

Running late.
Have a great one.

[lvlycwgirl]

Good morning all. It's Friday !! YEAH !!!

[Spicy Jack]

BWAAAAAAA!!!!!! TOO MUCH COFFEE!!!NEED TO RUN LAPS!!!! My eyes are twiching and I can't pay attention to anything. WHOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! FRIDAY

[funkytuba]

I hate having to get up early to "interface" with our london team... damn EMEA work rules... they leave for the pub at 5pm on the dot.

sounds like it's time for some political action... maybe Kerry needs a donation...

[Aphrodite]

Good Morning.

I have coffee and it's going to rain. I need oil for the lawn mower before it does.

Shoot I wish I could sharpen the blade too.
I've never done that before.

[Frieda]

afternoon all!

remove the spark plug wire before you do!

[Aphrodite]

Ok. Thanks!

:)

[daverbee]

Good Morning!
I hate mowing lawns. I've done everything I could to destroy my lawnmower and it's still alive. It's like having Dracula living in your tool shed disguised as yard tools.
Oh, well, it keeps the city from fining me, I guess.
Busy day today, there's only two of us here in the maintenance dept.! Once again, it'll either be hectic or slow...

[weissenflatz]

Good morning too!

Have you tried feeding it gasoline mixed with sugar?

[RuneT]

mmorning daver. I cut the lawn yesterday. It was the only thing i could make myself do while being hunguver. And it helped. So if i cut the grass every day I can drink every day, right?

[RuneT]

or mix oil in the petrol so it smokes like crazy. then they will agree in buying a brand new one.

[Aphrodite]

Good Morning.

Busy day here too. Clients in the morning and another day helping at Mom and Sis's store. Candles, pot pourri and Waterford Crystal and Balleek China.
Can I help you?....I hate that part.

[Avalon]

Morning!
I have had coffee and was greeted this morning with a full page of Hugh Jackman photos and links!! Whoo hooo!!
YAY!!

[daverbee]

I was thinking more along the lines of a bit of C4 underneath it. That should make a nice crater in my front yard and I could plant an orange tree.

[lvlycwgirl]

Good morning all!!

[Spicy Jack]

Good morning. Thanks daver for the laugh - best of luck with the soon to be planted orange tree :)

I'm tired. I even woke up on my own after only the 5th time my alarm went off (hey, it's an improvement). Had coffee, 2 donuts, milk and am now ready for an early nap.

Have a good one!

[daverbee]

Soooo...lemme see if I've got this straight...your day consists of ignoring your alarm clock, eating breakfast, and then a nap?
Where do I sign up for a job like that?
