Is anyone still awake??? N/T

:*

What are you up to? :*

What's going on at matcom manor?

he's a little 'under the weather' if you know what I mean :D I am still awake and thought I would find out what everyone else was up to. You sound like you are having a heck of an evening!!! :*

Scamp! ;)

I played golf today, and spending some time in the heat just saps your energy. Plus, I'm just a boring homebody anyway. :)

Not me!!! Hmmm, let's see, he got up around 7:30 not sure what he did, I was a slug and didn't get up until 9!!! Of course he kept me awake three nights this week with his coughing and snoring :( then he went and got his hair cut, came home and we went to the nursery, where I bought five new Hosta plants. I planted those, while he cut the front and side yard. I was still digging when he went to the dump to drop off the grass clippings. He got home and I was still digging...he supervised with a Gin & tonic in his hand, while I WAS STILL DIGGING!!! then I wore him out...he cooked dinner, I cleaned it up. Beat his ass in cribbage, and he went to bed with his sorry tail tucked behind his ass! LOL!! God my back is sore from all the DIGGING & PLANTING!!! can you come up and rub it for me?? I'll make you butterscotch cookies! :*

He didn't help with the digging? That bastid!

Mmmm...butterscotch. :9

You need to PM me your address so that I can mail you some cookies!!! :* I miss you! When you coming back up???

Boston is on my list. I don't have enough vacation time this year. But next year... :)

you just let me know the date and the Palace room will be ready for you!!! :*

We'll have our own fun! :bounce:

you got it baby!!!! :* :loveya: :hug:

It's just late afternoon for my body clock. But, 9:35pm central time.

and I am awake, but matcom has crashed. :hi:

Dude, did you check out the pic of my new tat? :D

:hug: to all three of you! We need another Boston meetup.

link of the pic of your new tat! I am thinking of getting another, but am not sure where to put it. I have an idea of what I want, but nothing definite.

:)

I fell asleep many years ago.

:hi:

:hi: Just waiting to get tired enough to crash.

thank you.


:hi:

didn't mean to wake you Mrs.G...:hi:

I fell right back asleep after I posted that. :hi:

Sleep? What is that? :shrug:

:hi: :P :)

that is a dirty four letter word for a Saturday! What is your line of work??

for a newspaper here in CT.

I am just in the office tonight, taking phone calls, faxes, e-mail.
Most stuff goes on in the evenings, so that's when I have to work.

Next weekend?

I bet you can't wait. :eyes:

that sounds really interesting! I did 18 years in the restaurant business, most of those nights. To this day I hate mornings, on the weekends I can stay up all night long and sleep all day!

so she says.

:bounce:

by whom?? Shall I send matcom to spank her?? Probably not, he would enjoy it way to much!

she'd probably ignore him, too. Don't bother Mr. 45,000 posts man. Jeez. I've been around longer than he has and am way behind him...

crap for only being at 45k. I told him he was slacking and should be well over 50k. He came up with some excuse, like, well I do have to work! I didn't believe it for a minute! Sorry some one is so rude as to ignore you. That is just not nice! :hug:

But I love matcom news! Posted something the other day, an article from the Chicago Tribune about foie gras being banned here. Thought it was something your husband had missed...and since I am in the Chicago burbs...figured I should do it in his absence.

Turned into a flamefest and got locked! :cry:

a flame fest over Foie Gras??? LOL! People really need to do a reality check once in a while! Sorry they hurt you! You are such a nice person :hug: next time tell them they better watch it, 'cause Mrs.matcom had your back and she will kick some serious ass!!! LOL!

Yeah, it started an unexpected flamefest.

:eyes:

I posted a news article from the Chicago Tribune without comment. I thought it was damn funny. And my nephew-in-law (the triplets' father) is executive chef at a fancy Chicago restaurant. He does not like foie gras and has no problem with the ban...though many places do and are serving it right and left.

:hug:

The moral is....you never know what might start a flamewar here.

you have to give some credit to Ahh-nold for banning it. Some of us do believe it is cruelty to animals and downright unnatural to expand a duck's liver to 10x its normal size just for fancy food. :shrug: I didn't partake in the flamewar earlier, but I can imagine. :eyes:

I don't think I would like my liver expanded to 10 times it's normal size just so some one could eat it either...oh, wait, I drink enough that I think it has expanded 20 times and no would want to eat it anyway!! Take care and don't let the bastards get you down!!! :hug:

I can't say I blame you for not wanting your liver eaten. I don't want mine eaten either although mine is probably expanded somewhat too. :hug:

I mean, it's only the fourth inning. :shrug:

Which game??? I am purposely not watching any red sox games because I fear they will lose if I do!

Dodgers are up 3-0. :bounce:

Dodgers!!!! Kick some diamondback butt!!!

Kent homered in the ninth. Dodgers won 4-3. :bounce:

I'm still at work though and for some reason they tend to frown on sleeping.

Go figger.

:shrug:

I do the scoreboard pages for the newspaper.

:hi:

I always wondered who had to stay up to print those in the paper. Now sometimes back on the east coast we don't get the scores if we are playing a west coast team late at night. what is your cut off time to make it to publishing?

Saturday nights it's early. Tonight my page went 45 minutes ago (8:55) but I'm waiting for the first football game of the season (I'm doing preps tonight). Tomorrow it'll be more like 12:25. Monday, about the same. Usually between 11-12:30. West coast games get us too, but not as bad as it could be.

Tonight was even earlier than usual, though.

Bigwillq's post? He is a sports writer.

And there's someone else at DU who started out at the same paper that I work at now.

Small world, huh?

a small world! I can't believe how many people I have met that know the same people I know. And those people are half way across the country! I guess it is just six degrees separation.

Can't shut my brain off. :(

Some jerk called the house this morning at 5:30. I usually wake up at 5:40 during the work week. I also hit the snooze alarm three times and die each time after. Do you think I could get back to sleep this morning? nope, no way, no how. Even thought about the snooze alarm thing. UGH!

early daytime schedule awfully soon this semester. I'm feeling a little droopy. I had hoped that before they start piling on the assignments, I could enjoy my Saturday nights on DU and playing my games. :(

stay up late on Fridays and sleep in on Saturdays. That way you can party at night. of course then you need to get up early on Sundays, so you can get to bed early Sunday night to be ready for class on Monday...it's a vicious cycle :hi:

last night I found myself literally falling asleep in the middle of posting a reply. I could not get my brain organized enough to remember what I was replying to even after reading the OP. So, I decided to hit the sack.

The reason I didn't sleep in today was that I woke up dripping wet in sweat. It was so hot in here. I could not believe it. My A/C is acting up. Not sure if it needs Freon or if it just overheated. Even though it was only 90 degrees here today, it felt way hotter to me, even with the humidity low. I still haven't completely gotten that whole humidity debate. I mean I think its really the heat, not the humidity. I find it hot on the days they say the humidity is "comfortable" and low. I find the high humidity days more bearable. :shrug:

sounds like it is time to check the filter on the A/C unit. Pull the filter out and give it a good vacuuming. that should make a difference. If not, time to buy a new A/c. My in-laws live in NC, in the western part of the state. Up in the mountains and they still get the humidity. I live in Mass and the humidity can get up there. Watch the dew point, that is the killer. Thank God it is only 59 tonight! Great sleeping weather.

dust and stuff from getting into the motor? I changed that like 4 days ago and do it pretty much every month. You are probably right about the A/C unit needing either work or replaced altogether. Right now, it is working like a charm though. I guess it is because the sun has gone down and the current temperature is only 67 degrees here in the central southern part of the state. Either way, I gotta figure out a way to deal with it within the next few days.

I sure am still awake....it's only almost 9pm here on the West Coast!

Early yet!

I'm just vegging at the computer, and recovering from a long day......

An old friend died last Monday, and today was her funeral....

A bunch of us went to it......it was beautiful......

She was waaaaaay too young too......not even 60.....She was my co-worker...

I am so sorry that you lost a friend! And so young too! We are blessed with too few friends in our lifetime, and every time you lose one is a tragedy!

It is 12:11 here and I am about done in. Too much planting today and my back is killing me. So goodnight dear one, and may the higher power you believe in give you peace. :hug:

:hug:

Sweetest of dreams to you.........

Hopefully matcom's cough medicine is still working or I will be in the guest room tonight!

Of course I'm up.

Sounds like you had a day of hard labour. Won't Matcom let you get a gardner/boy toy?

He would, but I am a very picky gardener, so I prefer to do it myself and let him work out the knots in my back! I am headed to dream-world now, good night sweet queen, I bow before thee!!! :loveya:

so he can work out the knots...

from a LOVELY evening out with some very dear friends.


aA
:hi:

love spending time with friends. Have a wonderful evening!

I don't sleep. I have superhuman powers.

WHOOSH!!!!

did something just touch me on the shoulder???? where are you, you sneaky superpower being??? I'm warning you, I'm off to bed with matcom, so be careful what you touch!!! Wouldn't want your hand to fall off! :hi: :)

I heard Midlo almost lost a hand by accident.

i'm sleep typing :blush:

be dangerous! be careful!
