Who's awake?

[LeftyFingerPop]

Got anything to say for yourself?

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. How are you?

[Heidi]

2. I'm awake, and all I can say for myself, my only excuse,

is that it's 9:15 a.m. :P

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. God,

I hope i get to sleep by that time! :hi:

[Heidi]

4. I hope you do, too, philboy.

It's Saturday. Do you have to get up and go to work? :hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

5. No Heidi...

no work today.

Have a bit of insomnia.

Been a rough evening here.

How are you today? :hug:

[Heidi]

12. I'm glad you don't have to face the prospect of working on so little sleep

and energy. Sorry you're having a rough evening. :hug:

I'm okay; glad it's Saturday, but dreading flying to Geneva Monday morning. :yoiks:

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. On business? n/t

[Heidi]

16. .

Yeah, a four-hour meeting, then return the same day. And it's supposed to snow Monday. :nervous:

[LeftyFingerPop]

18. You will be fine!!

Wishing you well for your trip on Monday Heidi.

[Heidi]

21. Thanks, friend.

I don't mind flying in big commercial planes, but small commuter plans bother me a little bit. Snow in the forecast doesn't help. :scared:

Thanks for the good vibes, philboy. I'm lighting a "get sleepy" candle for you, m'kay? :hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

22. Thanks a lot Heidi...

Can you light a "quit fucking up everything that I touch" candle for me?

[Heidi]

26. Sure can.

But it might be more helpful if I burn a "help philboy stop perceiving himself as a fuck-up" candle. :hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

27. Nah...

I'm a realist.

[Heidi]

36. Would you stand by while someone called me

or any of your friends a fuck-up? I'm betting not.

By the same token, I'm not gonna stand by and let anyone -- even you -- call you a fuck-up.

More likely, like the rest of us, you're a work in progress. :grouphug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

40. I'm afraid...

I don't make much progress. :)

[Heidi]

41. If you got from yesterday to today,

that's progress. And if you get from today to tomorrow, that's more progress. Just a little perspective.

[LeftyFingerPop]

43. You're right...

we survive.

I get there.

Somehow.

So do we all.

:)

[CL Avenger]

6. Wow

We are all up late. How awesome is that? God is really good. See how he works things out? :hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

8. Well...

I need to be sleeping...but it is almost like living twice when you don't sleep, so I guess insomnia isn't all bad. :hi:

[CL Avenger]

14. I am going to pray for you

Father God, you created the Heavens and the Earth. You moved mountains and you created the sea. You raised Lazarus from the dead and you made the blind see. So surely you can put Phillyboy to sleep. Father God send your sleeping Angels to Phillyboy's house. In Jesus name, Amen.

[LeftyFingerPop]

17. Thank you...

:)

[CL Avenger]

19. No problem

That's what I am here for.

[LeftyFingerPop]

20. You are here to pray? n/t

[CL Avenger]

29. Yes Sir

And to save souls, and pull this place from the dark-side.

[LeftyFingerPop]

32. Good luck with that...

:beer:

[CL Avenger]

35. It can be done

Have a little faith, ye fair-weather friend.

[LeftyFingerPop]

37. Alright...

I will try, ye cryptic poster.

[Heidi]

38. Are you kidding?

If not, then you have implied that we DUers dwell on "the dark side," and that's a group attack and against the DU Rules.

[CL Avenger]

44. Ma'am

Don't twist my words. I am saying the WHOLE INTERNET is so DARK-SIDED.

[LeftyFingerPop]

45. Life....

is dark sided.

This site can sometimes be less dark sided than others.

I don't know who you are or if you are serious, however, you may want to tone it down and ease in. You stand the risk of getting banned, then you will have to sign up with another user name.

[CL Avenger]

49. Honesty

is not welcome here? :shrug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

51. Welcome to DU. n/t

[Heidi]

50. ...

"then you will have to sign up with another user name."

:rofl: :spray:

[CL Avenger]

52. What does that mean?

I don't get it. What is the joke?

[LeftyFingerPop]

55. No joke....

Tell me a little about yourself...whatever you would like to share.

[CL Avenger]

58. OK

I am 20. I live in NC. I love writing. I am brilliant. I am awesome. I pray alot. People love me, but some don't and God will deal with them. I like to be nice to people.

[Heidi]

61. Well, I can only speak for myself, but I feel downright blessed and highly favored

to have you among us! :bounce:

[LeftyFingerPop]

62. Thank you...

I am 49, live in New York State.

I am a genius.

I pray sometimes, rarely, and am largely agnostic.

I like to be nice to people also.

I fuck up everything I come in contact with.

[Heidi]

57. It's irony, CL Avenger.

It's against the DU Rules to sign up again under another user name after one is banned. :hi:

[CL Avenger]

63. What are you talking about?

Good Christians don't spread gossip or rumors. Thanks.

[Heidi]

64. What gossip? What rumors?

Thanks.

[CL Avenger]

65. Sorry.

I get confused when I am sleepy. We are going to get along famously. :hi:

[Heidi]

48. Sir, thank you for clarifying.

_Much_ is becoming clear.

Welcome to DU.

[orleans]

7. important message just for you...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7423171

[LeftyFingerPop]

9. Same to you.

Let's see....guess if he does not see his shadow, it means an early Spring? Let's hope so.

[orleans]

23. to be honest, i rather like the snow

[LeftyFingerPop]

25. I like it when it looks like that...

It turns black rather quickly where I live. :)

[orleans]

33. we had big snow around here yesterday--and tonight it was still

looking so new and gorgeous. it wasn't freezing cold, the snow makes the sounds muffled and the night was lovely. the neighbor kids had cleared off the sidewalks and didn't play in the snow on our yard--so it still looked fresh and perfect tonight.

[LeftyFingerPop]

34. That's...

fantastic when it is like that. :thumbsup:

[orleans]

39. i know. and because i like it so much--putting up with the dirty snow is

so worth it. (i love winter)

[LeftyFingerPop]

42. I hope you enjoy....

the remainder of winter.

Winter brings back bad memories for me...but I love the other 3 seasons.

[orleans]

46. aw, i'm sorry about your winter memories.

here is a chocolate cupcake for you:

[LeftyFingerPop]

47. Awww...

Thank you very much! :)

[Adsos Letter]

10. I'm here...multi-tasking....

Posting on DU, and writing a book review that's due Monday.

[LeftyFingerPop]

11. Good luck...

with the review. :)

[Adsos Letter]

15. Thanks...I enjoyed the book immensely...

so it isn't too difficult.

[Jamastiene]

24. My decadence and debauchery would make Satan blush.

-from the future Queen of Hell, Jamastiene

:evilgrin:

[LeftyFingerPop]

30. Future Queen of Hell?

That's quite a goal! :P

[Jamastiene]

54. Yes. Yes, it is, and quite obtainable...

if I might say so myself. I'm a dirty dirty gurl. :P

[LeftyFingerPop]

56. Ok then...

:)

[ceile]

28. no, not much.

:hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

31. Me neither ...

:hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

53. It's 4 am

This ain't good.

[XemaSab]

59. Peent.

:D

[LeftyFingerPop]

66. Bueno!

:D

[From The Ashes]

60. I am...

...just off work, in fact. :hi: philboy!

[LeftyFingerPop]

67. Alright!!

Early day for you....you are an hour behind me!! Have a wonderful day! :hi:

[From The Ashes]

68. not off TO work...

off OF work. As in, I just got home. :hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

69. Oh I'm so sorry...

Have a nice day at work then. :P

[From The Ashes]

71. Oh you!

...smartass :P

[LeftyFingerPop]

72. I hope i can get to bed soon...

I have to wake up at 7 am to take a nap.

[LeftyFingerPop]

70. ...

Counting stars by candlelight, all are dim but one is bright;
The spiral light of venus, rising first and shining best,
On, from the northwest corner, of a brand new crescent moon,
While crickets and cicadas sing, a rare and different tune

(I stole it)

[LeftyFingerPop]

73. I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.

Brought to you by the Bee Gee's and their latest hit...

"Keepin'Your Own Thread Alive".

[iris5426]

75. I'll help for a minute before I go to bed

:hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

77. Have a very...

pleasant sleep. :hi:

[iris5426]

79. Thanks I hope to when I get there...

This place sucks you in, so much to read :) Especially when you don't have to get up for work the next day...

This is my first visit to the Lounge, fun things over here :)

[LeftyFingerPop]

81. Oh wow!

Well welcome to the lounge!

Ignore me if I bother you...I type like a stream of consciousness sometimes when I am bored.

You will like it here I hope.

:hi: :thumbsup:

[iris5426]

83. Thanks it seems like a friendly place :-)

Good luck with whatever is troubling you, I hope you sleep soon..

My hubby just got home from work, gonna head to bed...

[LeftyFingerPop]

84. Alright...goodnight iris. n/t

[LeftyFingerPop]

74. Spinning

Spinning softly slowly seething
The warm sweet breath
Of our Mother Earth
Tree limbs reaching out for our hand
When we are alone

Ah fuck it

[CL Avenger]

76. Retire now

I am sending you to bed, now. You are sleepy and need some rest. Be gone.

[LeftyFingerPop]

80. I'm beyond the point of no return...

I can't believe what I type.

It's like I have no "embarrassment meter".

But in a few hours, once this thread drops off the page, no one will remember this tripe that I spam the lounge with just to know I am not alone at 430 am.

[Heidi]

78. Here's you a lullaby, philboy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR8KWQKYMag

[LeftyFingerPop]

82. Awwww thank you Heidi...

this is lovely! Listening now. :)

[taterguy]

85. Not me. Ambien is a hell of a drug

[kedrys]

86. There'z a diff between "up" and "awake"

:P

Imhotep has demanded breakfast earlier and earlier all week. :( This morning he let me sleep in until 5:45. The dude has NO clue as to the whole 5 on/2 off (and sometimes 4 on/3 off) thing.
