Hello, Loungers!

[Clintmax]

It's been WAY too long since I stopped by DU. Over a year I guess. I hope everyone is doing good and my old Early Morning Crew are still around! I miss those times, let me tell ya! I do see a lot of new names in here too! Anyone know if the NightHawks still get together?

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Hey stranger!!

:o

:hi:

[Clintmax]

2. Hello, hello, BBaby!

:hi: Good to see you're still here!

[bicentennial_baby]

3. Hell yes! Did you miss the wedding?

If so, Sniffa and I got hitched last summer. :)

[Call Me Wesley]

4. Hey, I was just thinking of you a few days ago!

How's Tony? How's Bandit? (You know they come first!) And how are you and yours?

The NightHawks, like your threads, were eaten up by real life. But the crew's still here from what I know, and I haven't posted much since, either.

Good to see you! :hug:

[Clintmax]

12. Hello, Wesley!

:bounce:
I've been thinking about you and Heidi too! I hope you two are doing OK! Tony is fine and he's gotten huge! He's over 60 pounds now! Bandit is still a big boy. I've been feeding him diet cat food but he's just a big cat...that's all there is to it! Mike and I are fine...I'm getting ready to start a new job on Monday, since the last company I worked for went out of business dammit! We still live in the same place here in F.S.U. land and having fun! I'm going to take a couple of pictures in a few minutes of Tony, Bandit and I and I'll post them for everyone to see!

5. Hey Clintmax!

God, it's so good to see you! :-)

Please don't be a stranger.

[Clintmax]

14. Hello, Terrya!

Wow...it's been FOREVER and a day hasn't it! I hope you're doing OK!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear Clintmax!

Oh, what a treat to see you!

There are a lot of new names, yes...

And some of us old-timers are still here too!

Heidi is too busy to run the NightHawks, alas...

But she pops in from time to time as well...

Don't be a stranger, OK?

:loveya:

:hug:

[Clintmax]

16. Why, MissPeggy!

It's damned good to see you're still around the ol' DU! So no more NightHawks either, huh? The world has just gone to hells hasn't it? No Early Morning Crew and no NightHawks. Maybe we just need to remedy that situation, huh? :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Sounds good to me, sweetie...

I have missed you so damn much!

Now, with you and Khashka both returned, things look a lot more normal!:loveya:

[Clintmax]

27. Well thank you!

Khash is back too, huh? That's great! Now...I think I need my star back! I look better in gold, don't you think? :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Yup, he's back...

Would you like me to get you a star?

It would be my privilege!

You do look much better in gold!

:hug:

[Clintmax]

32. That's a sweet offer, my dear!

But you don't have to do that! I love you for offering, though!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. ....

:hug:

:loveya: more...

[Clintmax]

Awww...

[ZombieNixon]

7. Sweet Jesus, who are you?

[Clintmax]

20. LOL!

You know who I am, Zombie! How the hells are you?

[SeattleGirl]

[Clintmax]

22. Miss Seattle!

Damn, it's good to see you! Me and everyone here are doing great! I hope alls well with you too, my dear!

[SeattleGirl]

31. Hanging in there.

My mom passed away in February, and I'm still dealing with the grief about it. But I'm glad she's not in pain anymore.

[Clintmax]

33. Oh my.

I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I can imagine it's been tough. :hug::hug::hug::hug: I wish I had been here more.

[SeattleGirl]

37. Thanks, Clintmax.

DUers are the best. :hug:

[Clintmax]

We GOTTA stick together don't we?!

[madinmaryland]

21. Hey! Glad to hear everything's ok! edited to add...

Keep in touch with teh lungue! Ok?

added:

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

:hi:

[Clintmax]

26. ROFL!

I can't believe it! THAT JOKE! ROFL! :rofl: I haven't heard that since...well...my early morning crew days!

[madinmaryland]

28. Welcome Back!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

36. Well thank you very much!

What a welcome! :rofl: I love it!

[Robeson]

39. Holy F'n God! Clintmax!!!

...Man, I can't believe it. It is so good to see you. How have you been? We've all missed you. O.K., I know I'm talking in short choppy sentences, but I'm floored to see you again.

Seems like old times....:toast: :pals:

[Clintmax]

42. *GRIN* ROBESON!

Yep! It's me! I know...it's been forever and forever! But I'm here now! How've you been mister?

[Robeson]

52. I've been fine. But this one's about you!....

...what have you been up too? Are you still antiquing? And what about that car? And are you still working like a slave? And, and, and, and....;-)

[Clintmax]

55. LOL...yeah...

I don't get to go antiquing as much as I'd like 'cause there aren't really any antique/flea markets around here and it's a LONG drive to get to the nearest one. But I still try to once in a while. I still have my bright yellow car and it's still perfect. I had to change jobs cause the company I worked for went out of business, so I'm starting my new one on Monday. I have to spend two weeks in Jacksonville for training and then a week in Dallas before I can get into my own store though. I'm looking forward to it, though.

[khashka]

40. Hey Clint!

My erstwhile boyfriend. After a year, I came back too. Good to see you!

As for the Nighthawks... ask Heidi, that was her game.

Khash.

43. Oh my gods! Khash!

MissPeggy and I were just talking about you! It's good to see you too, Mister Man!

Wow...no, I think I'm going to make it a permanent thing again!

[ThomCat]

54. Very cool.

I post in the mornings now more than I used to. Are you still a morning person? :)

[Clintmax]

56. Yep, pretty much.

I don't get up at 5am EVERY single morning, but a lot of the time I do. Then again, I've always been a morning person. I like to get my lazy ass outta that bed and get around.

[KitchenWitch]

57. Hi Clintmax!

Great to see you!

:hug:

:loveya:

[Clintmax]

59. Wow! Miss Kitchen!

:bounce::hug:
How long has it been?! Jeeze it's good to see you! You doing OK?

[KitchenWitch]

65. Mostly okay.

The past 6 months have been rather interesting. The Santiago Canyon fire in October came within a mile of my house. We were not evacuated, but we probably should have been. Since then, my daughter has caught every bug that has come around, the last one landing her in the ER last Saturday with community acquired pneumonia. She is fine now, just rather tired.

:pals:

[Clintmax]

67. Oh wow...

Sounds like a mess. I'm glad to hear she's doing better now and the fire didn't get your house.

[KitchenWitch]

69. If you are interested in the day to day on it, I posted it in my blog
