Who is up?

[MissHoneychurch]

it is so quiet here :hi:

[tjwmason]

1. I am.

:hi:

Good morning to my favouritest MissHoneychurch. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. good morning to my favorite Brit

:hi:

how are things in GB?

[tjwmason]

3. Beautifully sunny

which is good :)

But working which is bad :(

But in work early, so I get to leave early :)

So overall - good.

How are things in Germany?

[MissHoneychurch]

6. same

great weather (wished I still would have vacation), working :x, not getting off before 4pm (more likely 5pm to get my hours).

Otherwise quite fine.

[tjwmason]

13. I leave at quarter past four

Which is early for me :bounce: but only because I managed to drag my lazy arse in here for quarter past 8 ( :scared: ).

The first week after a break is always hideously nasty - just think that it's half way over already.

[bixente]

15. Where in Germany are you located?

Dortmund, Stuttgart, Munchen, Berlin...?

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Frankfurt

how come you know all those towns?

[Scooter24]

41. Cool :)

I used to live in Auerbach, Germany, many years ago with my dad. Sure miss the interesting smells driving around there. lol

I normally prefer the city, but that brief time there was great. Looking out the window and seeing a bunch of local teens playing soccer in the vast field, *sigh* those were the good days :)

[MissHoneychurch]

44. still happening in the rural areas

boys playing soccer on the fields. after all, soccer is number one sport here in Germany.

I am a city person myself. I feel really good here. Frankfurt is an international city but not too big. I like that.

[Clintmax]

5. Good Morning, TJ!

:pals:
Are you having a good day?

[tjwmason]

10. Good morning Clint.

:pals:

I'm doing quite well - lots of work in here, lots of sun out of the window.

Ask me at quarter past four (when I leave work today), and the answer will involved a few of these :bounce: - for the moment it's more :), but seeing you raises that to :D

How's my favourite Floridan today?

[Clintmax]

14. I'm doing fine...

Woke up at 5:20, made coffee and here I am!

Hey, are you having problems with DU being slow this morning? It is taking FOREVER for posts to come up when I click on them. I don't understand what's going on.

[tjwmason]

16. Glad to hear it - but 5:20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slow here - I'm guessing that it's just one of the periodic problems that jump up now and then.

I barely know what the world is like at 5:20 - in fact the vast majority of times that I've seen it, has been from the evening before.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

17. Well, I'm an early riser.

I always have been. I love this time of morning. It's quiet. Peaceful. I can go out and watch the sun rise if I want to...you should try it sometime, Mister TJ!

[tjwmason]

20. I've only watched the sun rise once

It wasn't particularly peaceful either - there was a university tradition that on May Day people would go swimming in the sea at sunrise. I certainly wasn't stupid enough to go in the water at that time of morning, or at that time of day, or at that time of year, or at that line of latitude - but I did go to watch once (followed by a very boozy breakfast, naturally).

I don't mean to be beatly to you, but I've never been able to get up early even getting to work by 9 a.m. is a battle half of the time. On the otherhand, I can keep going till 2 a.m. without a care in the world.

My best bet would be to travel west, and keep my body on U.K. time. So I'll have to travel to Florida and we can watch the sun rise together. :pals:

[Clintmax]

4. I am!

Well...I just GOT up, but I'm up now! :hi: You OK this evening, Miss Honey?

[MissHoneychurch]

7. well, beside that it is not evening but about noon

I am fine. Lunch break is about to happen :D

we have beautiful weather, I have to work - isn't that unfair?

[NMMNG]

8. I'm up

I was just touring other forums, plus I had to go out on rounds.

[MissHoneychurch]

9. I am reading a lot in the other forums too

trying to stay informed about NO. it is just horrible what happened and happens there. Been to NO twice, such a great city, now flooded and destroyed. And all the poeple who are suffering because of it. Even worse.

[NMMNG]

12. I've never been

It was on my list of "places to go one day", but now I may never get to see it :-( . It's sad to have it destroyed and so many people's lives ruined like that.



BTW, is it me or is the atmosphere in here getting really charged with animosity? It seems that there are so many more arguments and snarks going around than before.

[MissHoneychurch]

29. I don't know

since I haven't been around the last two weeks I can't really say yet that the atmosphere changed. Maybe we all are a bit quiet and touchy at the moment because of what happens to NO and nobody wants to be too funny.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

11. woke up an hour early

sad and depressed-for the folks in the Gulf Coast, depressed for my own lot. Today, it's a choice between medicine and gasoline, and the gasoline won-or else I don't have a job so I can get the medicine. It's not that bad-I'll only have some pain-but I shudder to think of others who face this same choice and whose medicine is keeping them alive.

[MissHoneychurch]

23. it is really depressing to hear all the news

and one feels so helpless. Just horrible.

[WCGreen]

18. That, my dear,,,,,,,

Is a personal question!!!!!!

[MissHoneychurch]

24. and I, my dear

want a personal answer :)

[In_The_Wind]

45. MissHoneychurch ...

is good at asking personal questions ...

so ... Are you up ?

[MissHoneychurch]

46. he hasn't answered yet

maybe it was his ghost writing that post .... hmmmmm .... makes me wonder .....

[In_The_Wind]

52. I see that!

I could call him ...

but I don't want to wake him or Mrs. WCGreen ...

after all ...

my good friend and ghost writer needs sleep ...

(that is if he can sleep ~ after hearing the beginning of a chapter that ended two decades ago)

[MissHoneychurch]

54. we could call him out in the Lounge

then we see if he is awake :)

[In_The_Wind]

59. He would be sooo happy!

especially if Cool Whip is involved

[WCGreen]

66. I'm awake....

I have having a weird time with my computer.....

[In_The_Wind]

68. Good mornin' ~ my ghost writer!

we are all having problems ...

not just you ...

[MissHoneychurch]

69. you are not the only one

should we call you out anyway? With whip cream? :evilgrin:

[WCGreen]

72. My fantasy comes true.....

Praise be to Jeeezussss

[MissHoneychurch]

76. to Jeezusss?????

not to us????????? :silly:

[In_The_Wind]

86. what he meant was ...

the Goddess ...

[MissHoneychurch]

87. in plural, right?

:evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

95. every ...

man's dream ...

... *giggle*

[Scooter24]

19. I am :(

Had a bad dream :(

Was being chased by the boogy man

[MissHoneychurch]

25. sorry to hear

here is a :hug:, hope it chases away that boogy man

[Scooter24]

39. Thanks

:hug:

I think I won't even turn on the news this morning. I need to zone out for a while. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

42. sometimes it is the best to do

the last two weeks I barely watched the news. Just relaxing, it is a good feeling and one can tank new energy again.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

26. Why didn't you kick his ass?

:popcorn:

[Scooter24]

Well,

I was getting to that point...

I was awoken to Ann Coulter's voice on TV. :scared:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

22. I'm up.

[MissHoneychurch]

27. good morning

how are you today

[Crazy Guggenheim]

28. I can't sleep. I'm going to go try again in about 10 minutes.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. why can't you sleep?

is the boogy man chasing you as well?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

34. No I scared the hell out of him years ago and he never came

back. I don't know why I can't sleep though.

[MissHoneychurch]

35. normally when I can't slepp I read

till I get tired again (might take a bit) but it normally works.

[Heidi]

30. Hi, MissHoneychurch!

How are ya, gf? :pals:

I'm just getting ready to embark upon my weekly grocery-shopping-in-hell experience. :cry:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. I am doing ok

but Wednesday afternoon shouldn't be so bad for grocery shopping. Friday afternoon or Saturday morning is way more hell. Or what does it make so horrible for you?

[Heidi]

33. Grocery shopping is the thing I hate most in the world.

Kids here have Wednesday afternoon free from school, so the Coop always is full of screaming kids on Wednesday afternoons. But even if the store were empty, I still wouldn't enjoy the experience. I don't have the "shop-til-I-drop" stamina that I had when I lived in the states. (And I swear, shopping is about the only life experience that I positively _loathe_.)

But it only lasts an hour. That's the "up" side of it.

I'm glad you're well. Welcome back from vacation; can't wait to see your photos!

[MissHoneychurch]

36. ok, that makes it explainable

I am not a bif shopper myself. I enjoy it once in a while but I don't need to buy me stuff to be happy (ok, except books :) )

I get my pictures back tomorrow and will spend the evening to scan some in. I can't wait myself. Looking at the pictures is like living through the vacation again.

[gmoney]

37. I'm still trying to fix my keyboard...

It took a tumble onto the floor yesterday... damndest thing! :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

38. you better not blaming me for that

:P

[gmoney]

40. Never...

I'm not sure how it happened. :shrug:

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

43. your luck ...

.. not to blame me .... since I am not even near you :hug: (and normally I am the one who throws down stuff) :P

[gmoney]

82. Would never blame you...

...it's my own clumsiness. Thanks for the hug... :hug: ...if only my arms reached all the way to Germany.

[MissHoneychurch]

85. they do, mentally

:D

[gmoney]

90. Then you better watch out...

I might try to tickle you when you're not looking. :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

91. uh oh

you better don't even dare to think about that :spank:

[gmoney]

97. I dare...

:evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

99. LOL

you are bad :spank: not sure I want to be still your friend if you are so mean to me :cry:

[gmoney]

101. Yes, I am SOOOO mean to you...

Remember that time I hooked you up to this? THAT was mean!

[MissHoneychurch]

102. yes it was

and it didn't bring much ... LOL

[In_The_Wind]

47. GOOD MORNING !

sorry for yellin' ...

but YOU said "it is so quiet here" ...

it seemed like you wanted a little noise ...

just sayin'

[MissHoneychurch]

49. I am awake

no need for yelling ... but maybe the other woke up now :)

[In_The_Wind]

55. * shhhhh * ... you are the only one

that I'm trying to wake up ...

my ghost writer needs his sleep ...

we were IMing about my younger days very late last night ...

[MissHoneychurch]

56. so it your fault

that we have the ghost writer not with us this morning :spank:

[In_The_Wind]

64. Miss Honey ...

haven't you heard ...

it's always my fault ...

that's why he wants to ghost write my life ...

there is no reason to :spank: there is nothing wrong about it ...

[MissHoneychurch]

73. somehow I doubt that

I always thought I am partly to blame myself. For what? :shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

84. don't worry 'bout anythin'

[Left_Winger]

48. Hello

It must be early afternoon in Frankfurt by now. I'm just getting to work.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

50. hello

how are you? It has been a while since I saw you!!!! :hug:

it is almost 2pm here.

[Left_Winger]

57. I had modem problems

and the cable provider finally got around to fixing the problem, so I just haven't been able to go on-line.

On a happier note, I will be taking sixteen of my students on a trip from München to Wien during the first week of June. I have to start the planning now in order to bring it all together prior to departure time. I am now very popular around here because there is a place for a second chaperon, who receives a free trip.

It's good to hear from you again as well. :pals: Ich habe vor drei Wochen ein langes Gespräch am Telefon mit dem Wetzelbill gehabt. Der ist ein sehr interesanter Mensch!

[MissHoneychurch]

58. that is wonderful

so who is going to have the honor to be chaperon number two?

nice to have you back. Been on vacation the lst two weeks, so I haven't been around in a little while myself.

[Left_Winger]

63. I don't know as yet,

however it must be an adult female as over half those participating are teenage girls.

Where did you go on vacation? With all that cool and wet weather in Germany this summer, I hope it was someplace warm.

[MissHoneychurch]

67. I was in northern Germany

on the biggest island Germany has, Rügen. We had the best weather imagibale. Sunny and a little wind. Loved it.

[Left_Winger]

70. That is where my friend from Wien goes every year.

I'll have to go there sometime.

[MissHoneychurch]

71. it is beautiful

last time I've been there was when I was a kid. So it was like exploring a new land for me.

[Left_Winger]

81. I hear that Rügen is mostly a wildlife refuge

and very bicycle friendly. Wieviele FKKs gibt es auf dieser Insel? :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

83. it is very bicyle friendly

it is flat landscape and there are beautiful paths to ride on. Es gibt einige FKK Strände. Wir waren auch an einem. Ich bin schön braun geworden die letzten zwei Wochen. :D

[Left_Winger]

89. Hast du Fotos?

Ich bin nur ein Spaßvogel! :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

92. Fotos jede Menge

aber keine vom FKK ... LOL

[Left_Winger]

93. Verdammt!

:evilfrown:

[MissHoneychurch]

94. LOL

du bist also nicht zufrieden, wenn Du normale Fotos von mir siehst? :spank:

[Left_Winger]

98. Ja, natürlich bin ich zufrieden, normale Fotos von Dir zu sehen.

Ich war noch einmal der Spaßvogel.

[MissHoneychurch]

100. kein Problem

ich weiß mich zu wehren :)

[Left_Winger]

103. Kannst Du mir ein paar Fotos der Insel verschicken?

Wenn das nicht möglich ist, ich verstehe.

[Omphaloskepsis]

51. I'm up...

And I fucking hate IE....
But I love FreeBSD....

[MissHoneychurch]

53. good morning

and thanks for the information. Haven't heard of that so far.

[GOPisEvil]

60. I'm up.

But then I'm at work - I had better be up. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

62. good morning

you mean your body is awake but not your brain yet? Happens to me all the time :)

[GOPisEvil]

74. My brain is sort of awake.

Awake enough to let me get ready and show up at the office. Not so ready to do work though. My boss asked me a question right when I got here, too. Good thing it was an easy one. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

75. now that is mean

to have to answer a question when only the body arrived at work :)
That is why I am always showing up an hour earlier than my boss. That way I have the chance to somewhat wake up before the work really starts

[GOPisEvil]

77. We both have the same hours.

7am-4pm

My old boss used to show up at 9:30. That was nice. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

80. I normally show up at 8am

most people here start at 9am. But me starting at 8am gives me the opportunity to leave around 4pm instead of 5pm to have my hours in.

[bridgit]

61. me, but on my way to work...

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

65. good moring

the sun came to my thread :D

[tedoll78]

78. I am, but it's almost bedtime.

I'll nap until noon and then drive from Austin to bring a generator to my folks. They're meeting me in Houston and taking it back with them to Louisiana. G'nite!

[MissHoneychurch]

79. have a sound sleep

and a safe trip

[Fleshdancer]

88. the EAGLES are UP!

:D

[In_The_Wind]

96. EAGLES UP!"
