Loons storm the Music Builds Tour

[Genna14]

Actually, I know the answer to both. But YES, I do like stirring things up, especially with someone as "volitile" as Genna! She's fun to pick on!
Pick on me?? You think you're picking on me by giving me chances AND reasons to discuss my favorite driver and sport on the planet???

The only ones you're punishing is the rest of the people here.

[NurseBettyLu]

Even more fun! Well, it's off to w**k I go...

[ZippyApplePants]

Not if they ignore it like I do! :P :D

[rossid]

Tony came in second...

[Tony Trout]

Hey, Loons!! How is we all?

[rossid]

Great brother!!! :D

Have not talked to you in a long time. :o

Got a TD show just 24 days away. :P

[Tony Trout]

Great brother!!! :D

Yeah, I've been so busy...plus, I've been surfin' other boards....:eek: :o

How you been, D?

Oh the teenager keeps us hopping but...

[NurseBettyLu]

Any loons about? Hey, there's a little green dot...no, wait, that's me...

[rossid]

Yo! Why aren't you working? I've actually got homework tonite.

[Genna14]

Not if they ignore it like I do! :P :D

Ehh. You still love me.


Tony came in second...

NO!!!!!!!!!! He came in FIRST. You cannot WIN BY CHEATING. NASCAR has RULES. You have to follow those rules and since Regan didn't, Regan didn't win.


You asked for it with that comment, you really did.

[NurseBettyLu]

Yo! Why aren't you working? I've actually got homework tonite.

I'm off tonight, smartypants. They let me do that every once in awhile. As tired as I was this morning, I had to go to the office and beg the supply nazis for the things I need to do my job. Some of which they are required by law to supply. I feel like Oliver Twist. "Please, sir, I want some more..." I stole the pens off everybody's desk while they kept me waiting. Yeah, mature, I know.

I say you're still more mature than them, but that probably is not saying much.

[rossid]

19 years of wedded bliss today.

:D

[Genna14]

There's no love in the Loon thread! :eek: :P

Well you know me well enough by now to know that I have little tolerance for those kinds of comments.

[rossid]

You may have more tolerance for those comments that all of the disparaging things I want to say about Sunday's NASCAR race. :D

Although it was funny to hear the announces spell out A M P instead of pronouncing it AMP. :P

I didn't hear that, maybe its because I tend to zone them out. I'm not at all pleased with Rusty lately. -_-

I don't care what you say about Sunday's race as long as you understand that when you break the rules, you have to pay and Regan had to pay in a big way. I'm just glad for Kenny Wallace. He really deserved that top 15 finish.

[rossid]

I say Stewart bumped him. ESPN.com says no so I'll have to be satisfied. Smoke has lost races because of rules and it IS fair that he wins one too. Especially sweet to him that it was Talledaga.

[ZippyApplePants]

19 years of wedded bliss today.

:D

Congrats!

Well you know me well enough by now to know that I have little tolerance for those kinds of comments.

Which is why I keep some comments to myself. :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Aww, all the loons are asleep. I'm gonna go around and put all their hands in warm water. We used to do that at camp...

[Genna14]

I say Stewart bumped him. ESPN.com says no so I'll have to be satisfied. Smoke has lost races because of rules and it IS fair that he wins one too. Especially sweet to him that it was Talledaga.

I saw no bumping, nothing but legal blocking. Its something I see a lot on the track, especially at Dega, but you know everyone sees things differently and that is fine. I'm just glad NASCAR saw what I did. :D Plus I REALLY think he deserved that win. He's race harder this year than I've ever seen him do before. Just like that race a few back that he very nearly had, but Jimmie Johnson just barely got around him.


Which is why I keep some comments to myself. :D

And I have kept many to myself about your particular choice of driver. Its what friends do. I personally don't care who your driver choice is.

[rossid]

Now the Loons are waking up.

*yawn*

You have something against Brian and Kyle?! :eek: :D I try to not get too wrapped up in what other people think. They are welcome to their opinions and I am welcome to agree or disagree.

Now the Loons are waking up.

*yawn*

Hmmm, looks like they went back to sleep.

[1inamillion]

hi loons

[Tony Trout]

BEKALADY!!!

[NurseBettyLu]

Flyby. Overslept. Later, loons.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I haven't been here much lately...feels kinda strange....

[rossid]

Stuart Little.

[Genna14]

You have something against Brian and Kyle?! :eek: :D I try to not get too wrapped up in what other people think. They are welcome to their opinions and I am welcome to agree or disagree.


Sweetheart you know how I feel about Kyle. I'm none too happy with Vickers lately either. Little jerk, after what he did to Tony...grrrr.

[ZippyApplePants]

Stuart Little.

I beg your pardon? :confused:

Sweetheart you know how I feel about Kyle. I'm none too happy with Vickers lately either. Little jerk, after what he did to Tony...grrrr.

Well I'm not all that fond of Mr. Stewart right now so I guess we will just have to agree to differ.

[Greyshades]

Aww, all the loons are asleep. I'm gonna go around and put all their hands in warm water. We used to do that at camp...


I am ready with shaving cream.

[NurseBettyLu]

Feather at the ready...

[sandie]

And a straightjacket for each of you. :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Aww, come on. Loons just wanna have fun!

[sandie]

Loons are fun! :P

[rossid]

The movie is what we were watching. :D

High school drama going on this week. :rolleyes:

Hey who knows which four shows in four days were seen by the Gomers? :confused:

[1inamillion]

hi looons

[Genna14]

Well I'm not all that fond of Mr. Stewart right now so I guess we will just have to agree to differ.

And may I ask what warrented that? I don't see where he did anything wrong.

[sandie]

We have a big race here this weekend - the Bathurst 1000. Many people are camped on the mountain already. It'll be televised all day Sunday.

The two main football codes had their Grand Finals in Oz during the last two weekends.

It's a busy time of the year for sports fans in Australia and New Zealand.

[ZippyApplePants]

I am ready with shaving cream.

Do you frequently shave in the middle of the night?

Feather at the ready...

It takes a lot more than one feather to fly Beth.

And a straightjacket for each of you. :P

Yeah, what sandie said!

The movie is what we were watching. :D

High school drama going on this week. :rolleyes:

Hey who knows which four shows in four days were seen by the Gomers? :confused:

Ah, I guess I should have known you were talking about a movie.

And may I ask what warrented that? I don't see where he did anything wrong.

Never mind.

[Genna14]

Never mind.

No, I really want to know.

[rossid]

Brathurst? I love brats! :P

Pray Angelo goes back to school tomorrow - long story.

Plus Becky has her annual trip to KC. So I've got the family to myself this weekend. :D

[ZippyApplePants]

Brathurst? I love brats! :P

Pray Angelo goes back to school tomorrow - long story.

Plus Becky has her annual trip to KC. So I've got the family to myself this weekend. :D

I love brats too. So should we pray more for the family or you this weekend? :P :D

[NurseBettyLu]

How-do, loons? I have a tummyache.

[ZippyApplePants]

How-do, loons? I have a tummyache.

Ouch

[NurseBettyLu]

I'd really rather be home than at w**k, but the way I seeit is I canfeel bad at home for nothing, or feel bad here and get paid. Only seven more hours...

[sandie]

Six. How are you now, Beth?

[rossid]

I love brats too. So should we pray more for the family or you this weekend? :P :D
More? That implies you are praying now. :P

No. I love you guys and prayer today is most important. There were issues Wednesday and the boy stayed home from school. Pray for no MAJOR conflict today.

Yes, this weekend I also covet your prayers.

Finally, may I get some work done today.

[sandie]

Praying for these needs, D. It is a hard age, when the teenager is becoming more independent.

[sandie]

Any other Loons on the loose?

[NurseBettyLu]

Six. How are you now, Beth?

I'm good. Tummy all better. Eating, even drinking coffee. Oh, and the lights went out last night and they don't own a flashlight. How on earth do you not own a flashlight????? Well, I called the power company to report the outage, told them we were on the priority list since Peter is a ventilator patient, then spent the next three hours taking care of my patient by the light of my cell phone. Sheesh. Went out today and bought a nice battery powered camp lantern. Never again.

[NurseBettyLu]

Any other Loons on the loose?

Eek! Loose loons!!!!!!

[rossid]

Thank you Sandra. Praise God for his provision! Everything went well today.

[sandie]

Like loose cannons! :P

Three hours is a long time without a light. :eek: We had two power interrruptions last weekend - 6 hours on Friday and 7 on Sunday. The electricity workers looked at so many poles to find the problem! A friend gave me a pillar candle in a glass jar, so I burned it on Friday night. Lovely strawberry smell. Nothing else was happening!

Glad you're better.

[sandie]

That's great to hear, D. :)

I went back to my previous college to collect my basket of belongings, came out, and Sung Min was smoking during his break. :) Min is a Korean Christian from the course I taught. He was buying a Japanese Restaurant here in Sydney while the course was on, and I used to let him go out to answer calls from his bank, solicitor, etc. Very much a solid Christian, who believes that God wants him to cook in Africa at some stage. (Min's an experienced chef, from a Christian family. He grew up involved in welfare work.)

Sooo, I got the details yesterday, and am going in for a meal. If I can do a Sunday night, he will have time to explain the meal to me. Offered me a freee meal, but I'm happy to pay. That meeting was God's provision - Min and I had discussed the idea of the class eating there, months ago. I only saw one of my students yesterday, and he was the one I wanted to see. :)

[ZippyApplePants]

Got you and your's covered D. :)

Eek! Loose loons!!!!!!

Not yet! Halloween is still a few weeks away! :D

That's great sandie!

[sandie]

Yes, it was. How are you?

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hey, strangers!

[sandie]

Who's strange? :P How are you, Emily?

[NurseBettyLu]

Hey, strangers!

Hi yourself, stranger! Just what exactly are you stranger than?

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Who's strange? :P How are you, Emily?
That's really rather a pointless question to ask in this thread.

I'm great. I'm on fall break, so I've got a little down time and it's nice.
Hi yourself, stranger! Just what exactly are you stranger than?
I'm stranger than a lot of things. You, for example. Well, maybe....

[NurseBettyLu]

Ours is a strange and wonderful relationship. You're strange and I'm wonderful.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I can handle that.

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm still worried about those loose loons. I'm locking the door.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Good idea. Make sure you pick up any keys lying around. That's usually how I get back in when someone locks the door.

[NurseBettyLu]

*moves the key from under the big rock by the back door* Thanks, good idea.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

No problem. Check under the mat, too. Oh, and in that bush.

[rossid]

Only 95 pages to go!!!!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Congratulations!

[sandie]

Got my house wide open, with the breeze blowng in. No loose Loons here.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Good.

[sandie]

I just checked under the mat. There are no loose Loons there, either. Or keys.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Okay, then. No stray Loons should be able to get in now.

[sandie]

Except through the open windows. :P Darcy the cat already did today.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I don't know if Loons would know enough to come through the windows. ;)

[sandie]

Surely they can't be as dumb as Darcy. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

You can never tell with Loons. ;)

[ZippyApplePants]

I don't know if Loons would know enough to come through the windows. ;)

That's very true, some of them do not know to come through the door!

[NurseBettyLu]

Sometimes it's obvious.

[ZippyApplePants]

Sometimes it's obvious.

And sometimes it's clear as mud!

[NurseBettyLu]

So what loons need is clearer mud??? Think I'll go to bed now. My brain hurts.

[ZippyApplePants]

So what loons need is clearer mud??? Think I'll go to bed now. My brain hurts.

No no no! I told you thinking makes your head hurt so don't try it!

[rossid]

Another successful floor nap.

*waits for church update from Sandra and notices that might be a few hours away*

[sandie]

Yep. It's about 9:30pm Saturday. I'm on Morning Tea and on Communion glasses wash-up, so I'll have to take my skates tomorrow. :P

I had a REAL conversation with one of the guys at church last week - Bill, another single. We were amused when one of the Elders came over and said we must be having an interesting conversation (which we were.) We were being observed, obviously. I've threatened to either blow kisses across the church at Bill if he's there, or loft a rock in his direction.

Do you think it's bad form to throw rocks at the head of the 'Walk to Emmaus' in Australia? :rolleyes: Neither do I. :cool:

[rossid]

He is single? Mama chaud. Hot mama. Go for it!!

Breakfast was good. Back now and Sofie is the one awake, she does not use Sofia, because eleven years old is too mature for that...

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Well, of course she is. ;)

Guten Morgen, Loons!

[rossid]

Yes, good afternoon, kid!!! :D

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Guten Tag, D!

[NurseBettyLu]

Happy Saturday, loons. I did the wash, tossed a whole pile of ratty unmentionables, trimmed the grass out by the back steps, and made a pot of coffee. My day so far.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I took care of a crisis in my closet, wasted time on the internet, and played Lord of the Rings: The Third Age on the GameCube. And I'm actually still playing. Best game ever.

[NurseBettyLu]

Oh, and I killed another couple hours in Twilight. Second read-through. Must slow down b/c the last two books are not yet available in trade paperback. Ordereed a bunch of books off Amazon for my mom, plus the Outlander series for me. Yeah, they're a little racy, but the story just sucks you in. Another potential obsession here.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yeah, they never get in a hurry to put out the papebacks.

[NurseBettyLu]

May break down and buy the hardcovers. Decent prices used on Amazon. Right addicted to Amazon used books, I am.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

If I ever had any money in the bank, I might be, too.

[sandie]

Do you have any second hand bookstores around, Beth? You might be able to get them as cheap as chips.

[NurseBettyLu]

A couple, but mostly they carry Halequin romances. Blech.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Come on, Beth. Who doesn't like sap?

[ZippyApplePants]

Come on, Beth. Who doesn't like sap?

I am guessing Beth doesn't. :P

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm very picky about my sap, thank you very much...

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I like mine straight out of a maple tree.

[sandie]

He is single? Mama chaud. Hot mama. Go for it!!

Breakfast was good. Back now and Sofie is the one awake, she does not use Sofia, because eleven years old is too mature for that...

Bill is single, but recovering from a break up of a two year relationship with a lady from the local Walk to Emmaus group. And hoping she sorts herself out. My church has many Walk to Emmaus people, involved with the walks, and they tend to leave him alone, because of his position. I give Bill a ton of cheek and listen to him empathetically, so he tells me. He'd like to do a Masters Degree in Counselling, but hasn't the academic background to write the assignments, as he's been in retail all of his working life. I teach Academic English skills and different types of essay writing, and have offered to help him. If God wants us to do something, so often He provides the people with the skills to help.

[Genna14]

May break down and buy the hardcovers. Decent prices used on Amazon. Right addicted to Amazon used books, I am.
I order all my schoolbooks from there.

[rossid]

I've been working hard on laundry too Beth.

[sandie]

I'm thinking about doing the ironing. Just thinking..... :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Think harder. Perhaps something will happen. :D

[sandie]

I seriously doubt it! :P Maybe later.

[ZippyApplePants]

Think harder. Perhaps something will happen. :D

Like what?

[Genna14]

I had a lovely middle of the night conversation with my BFF. She said a lot of very beatiful things about me and made me feel so good. I adore that girl so much, she's been the most amazing friend.

[NurseBettyLu]

Think harder. Perhaps something will happen. :D

*waiting for something to happen*

[sandie]

It won't be long now. The American version of Kath and Kim is on tonight, so I'll iron in front of the TV. I can't imagine an American version, as it's so Australian/suburban. :P Noice!

Then there's The Mentalist later tonight. Can't remember the Australian actor's name - Simon ? - but he's yummy.

[NurseBettyLu]

Yes, absolutely scrumdillyishus. Name escapes me as well. Name, shmame. Let's just look at him.

[sandie]

Yes. He can act, too. Was wonderful in The Guardian.

[Jason]

I'm back from my high school reunion. Turns out a high school classmate is an agent at the top movie agency in Hollywood. She's responsible for bringing The Devil Wears Prada to the screen. And I just happen to be an aspiring screenwriter. Hmm.

[sandie]

And she has your business card, I hope! Was it a good night, Jason?

[NurseBettyLu]

I don't do high school reunions. It just breaks my heart how old and fat all my classmates have gotten.:D

[sandie]

I don't either. No one in my year has ever wanted one. :P

[Jason]

And she has your business card, I hope! Was it a good night, Jason?

It was a good night.

Her husband has my business card. He heard from one of my other classmates that I was a screenwriter and told me he was too. I got his e-mail address and web site. When I looked at his web site, that's when I discovered his wife was an agent. I googled her and found out the rest. So I'll definitely be keeping in touch with Jayson and Shari Smiley.

Me and Shari (Norde) Smiley:

[NurseBettyLu]

I am about to die of the sleepies. Must consume more coffee.

[sandie]

Yes, indeed< Beth.

Jason: You're still a long haired lout. :P As you know, it's not what you know, but who you know that's important.

[Jason]

Jason: You're still a long haired lout. :P As you know, it's not what you know, but who you know that's important.

Yes, and I know Shari Smiley. We did student council together in middle school. So I knew her when we were 13 and 14.

[sandie]

It's funny the people who God sends into our paths. On Friday, I met the one student I wanted to see from my old class, and I'm going to have a meal at Min's Japanese restaurant. If you see the post about Bill (here today), I'm the only one at my church who actually teaches the skills he needs.

Yup, God is amazing. He even put me and Sean together (how's that for a duo?).

Yum, Japanese!

*orders a large beef teryaki with extra ginger and a side order of gyoza*

[sandie]

Sounds good. LiJi has had good reviews in Cheap Eats.

You and Sean? Madness reigns! ;)

You and Sean? Madness reigns! ;)

And good music too!

Hey how is everyone today? :)

What a beautiful Sabbath!!! :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Happy Sunday, all! I bumped my head last night and it hurts. Luckily I didn't hurt anything important.

[rossid]

Ouch!!! :P

[NurseBettyLu]

A nasty lil goose egg I got.

[sandie]

That's no good. Give it back to the goose. :P

Started my new job today. Promethean, the interactive whiteboard and I haven't really become friend yet, but I'm hoping for a truce this week. Lovely students. New teachers and trainers. Nice staff. Looks promsing.

Having coffee with Joe tomorrow, time permitting. Have even offered him the world renowned 2 cent tour of the premises. :P

[rossid]

Well Angelo is tired. Missed church yesterday. Again.

Went to doctor and the mono test will be back later today with the thyroid test tomorrow.

We hired someone at work for my team!!!!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hello, Loons! Lovely day. If only I felt just as lovely. Oh well.

[1inamillion]

Hi loons....

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hey, Beka!

[Tony Trout]

Any Loonies around?

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I think I am.... :D

[rossid]

Emily, Beka, and Tony, OH MY!!! :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yes, Be afraid. Be very afraid. ;)

[Tony Trout]

I think I am.... :D


HI, EMILY-ROO!!





Emily, Beka, and Tony, OH MY!!! :P



Yep, triple trouble!! Hey, D.!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hola, Tony! :cool:

[Tony Trout]

Hola, Tony! :cool:


How's Miss Emily??

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

How's Miss Emily??
Could be better, but I'm okay. :) How are you?

[Tony Trout]

I'm doin' okey-dokey. My back was botherin' me most of last week but it's a bit better to start this week off. :)

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

That's good to hear.

[1inamillion]

Hey, Beka!
Hi Emily

[1inamillion]

hahahaha Hey D....that was funny

[Tony Trout]

Hi Emily


BEKA!

How be ya?

[NurseBettyLu]

Me is here! I just got gas for 2.78 a gallon!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

It's amazing how the prices have been going down. I am personally very happy about that.

[NurseBettyLu]

Me, too, since I'm now driving about three times as far to w**k now.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I'm completely broke, so, no more than I drive, the prospect of not having to pay as much is a good thing.

[rossid]

You mean Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Umm...huh?

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I think he was responding to one of Tony's earlier posts.

[rossid]

I was...

Go Casey Blake!!! Local boy who is a former Indians third baseman and was traded to the Dodgers. Game starts in about ten minutes.

[NurseBettyLu]

Okay. But so not a prob since we are accustomed to you not making sense, D.

[rossid]

I can't think of anything to post that does not make sense.

[NurseBettyLu]

Of course.

[sandie]

Hi all. Cuppa with Joe, which is one of your American expressions. Even better, Joe paid, and I gave him some cheek. :P He's coming up to my establishment next week. Joe will love the interactive whiteboards and technology there!

My new college has a new job for an ELICOS coordinator, advertised internally today. Do I want to work from 8 to 5:30pm, teaching and doing admin? :confused: It'd be a lower hourly rate, and I'd have to get into the politics of running the place. It's often easier to teach and run!

[rossid]

Hey hey hey!!!

Well young love is taking a break. My poor son. *sob*

[1inamillion]

hi looons....

[1inamillion]

BEKA!

How be ya?
Hey Tony...

Ohhh. :( It's a hard thing to learn.

Speaking of which, another bloke winked at me on a dating site. Very intense, by the sound of him. Not sure I want to spend the rest of my life gazing into his eyes, particularly as he lives in New York. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hey there, Loons. :cool:

[sandie]

Hi Emily, wherever you are.

Also, a 31 year old from South Australia and a 42 year old from Queensland. Maybe I could settle for a toyboy. ;)

[NurseBettyLu]

Evening, loons! (well, technically it's morning, I guess) I'm sitting here watching Peter sleep and eating cheezits and potted meat. Ooh, this is gonna mess up my stomach so bad, but, boy, is it ever good!

[ZippyApplePants]

Morning Beth!

[NurseBettyLu]

Good Morning! Have some potted meat and cheezits? Got plenty. Or would you rather wait until I get really bored and go nuke some popcorn?

[ZippyApplePants]

May I ask what you mean by "potted meat?"

[NurseBettyLu]

It's canned ground up stuff that may or may not have been meat once. Best not thought about too much. Definitely not health food.

[ZippyApplePants]

Ah ha, think I'll just have some Cheezits please.

[NurseBettyLu]

Prolly a good idea.

[ZippyApplePants]

Prolly a good idea.

Yeah I think so too.

[NurseBettyLu]

You'd be suprised (maybe even shocked and disgusted) by what shift workers will eat.

[ZippyApplePants]

You'd be suprised (maybe even shocked and disgusted) by what shift workers will eat.

I'm thinking disgusted would be most likely.

[sandie]

Is potted meat related to Spam? :P

[ZippyApplePants]

Is potted meat related to Spam? :P

I believe they may be brothers, or cousins.

[sandie]

Or both weeds at the bottom of the meat family tree?

[ZippyApplePants]

Or both weeds at the bottom of the meat family tree?

Maybe, or the garbage on top of the weeds.

[sandie]

That sounds about right. There are some strange foods out there. Mind you, there are more of them in the USA, but we're working on it!

[NurseBettyLu]

Whatever. I ate the whole can. *burrrrrrrp*

[sandie]

Is there no decorum around here? :rolleyes:

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Is there no decorum around here? :rolleyes:
I come into this thread and this is the first thing I read. Before I even knew to what it was referring, my response was, "No. This is the Loon thread." Now that I know to what it is referring, my answer has not changed.

Bonjour, Loons.

Oh, great. A guy just walked up not too far from me and lit a pipe. There goes the smoke in my face. Oh wait....he moved. Bless him. :)

[rossid]

What are we decorating? :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Is there no decorum around here? :rolleyes:

Decorum? *urp* What's that?

[NurseBettyLu]

What are we decorating? :P

I'm not in the mood for decorating. Still recovering from the potted meat. Man, this stuff will mess you up for life!

[rossid]

Potted meat sounds good. ;)

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Potted meat is not good. *says the girl who likes Spam* :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Tuna salad and saltines for my snack tonight. Not quite as lethal.

[rossid]

An early morning to y'all. Kids have school conferences and are home while the rest of the world works.

Sandra???

[sandie]

I was actually sleeping. Because it's my first week in a new job, I'm waking up early. :rolleyes: Not sure about doing the admin / teaching job at the new college - working 8 to 5:30pm. I'll apply for it and go to the interview so I can discuss the situation. I'd like more balance in my personal life, rather than a busy job like this.

These are my thoughts at 5am. :P

[HotWireD]

Is there no decorum around here? :rolleyes:


Well, I think the curtains look nice. They match the new carpets. :P

[HotWireD]

What are we decorating? :P

Do not change the carpets, please. :P

[sandie]

It's good that the carpets are brown, as they don't show the coffee stains. :P

[HotWireD]

Brown carpets :eek: I must have been looking through my rose tinted spectacles :cool:

:P

[rossid]

Oh our carpets at home are HORRIBLE!!! With a capita 'r'. :P

[NurseBettyLu]

There's a carpet under all this crap? Who knew...

[ZippyApplePants]

Oh our carpets at home are HORRIBLE!!! With a capita 'r'. :P

D, you have not making sense down to an art.

There's a carpet under all this crap? Who knew...

Not me, I'm too busy avoiding the crap.

[1inamillion]

Heyy Loons

[rossid]

Did you say I was a stoopid old fart? :P

[ZippyApplePants]

Did you say I was a stoopid old fart? :P

Nope, but I can. :P :D

[sandie]

Should, not can!

In fact must! (While I'm in the mood for modals.) :P

[sandie]

There's a carpet under all this crap? Who knew...

Yeah, I'd have thought that Loonville was more of a dirt floor area.

[NurseBettyLu]

Good morning, loons! Well, technically it's morning I guess. Sooooo sleep deprived.

[rossid]

Good morning sisterz!!! :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Good morning, brother!

[rossid]

Thanks!!!

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sandie]

TGIS!!! Morning all.

[NurseBettyLu]

And a happy afternoon to you!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I'll throw in a "Good evening" for good measure.

[sandie]

What's happening Beth?

I filled in a personality test for an internet dating site and I'm getting some replies today. A 42 year old, called 'meetmetoday' has written a strongly worded email, and wants to meet me. He lives in London! :rolleyes: Like it's going to happen!

[NurseBettyLu]

Aww, why not? Nothing happening at all. Just getting up. I'm out of creamer, Splenda and milk. Off to da store! Food World has a good coffee sale on.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I'm hungry. Food sounds good.

[NurseBettyLu]

Food's just the thing if you're hungry.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Thanks for enlightening me.

[sandie]

Yeah. Maybe I should ask the man if he wants to come here for coffee? :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

But what if he actually comes? :eek:

I took care of my hunger problem with some Taco Bell. Tasty.

[sandie]

I do have coffee!!! :P It'd be all right. Not much food, until I go shopping, however.

[rossid]

Worked until 5 pm. That was crazy... :eek:

[sandie]

Yeah, you need to knock off earlier, D. Maybe 3pm.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I was at school until just after 4 PM. I'd say that's pretty crazy, too.

[sandie]

Surely you weren't working hard, Emily? Shame! :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

You'd be amazed how motivated one can be when they don't want to fail. ;)

[sandie]

I know how motivated students can be when they don't want to fail.

I'm training students for the IELTS Test (International English Language Testing Scheme). One can get permanent residency with a high level English mark of 7 in December and she is working hard!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Good for her. :)

I'm not really afraid of failing. I'm the type who can usually put minimal effort into a class and do okay; well enough to pass, at least. But I'd rather not do that. I don't think I could do that, actually.

[NurseBettyLu]

Sat down in front of the tv, slept thrun the news, jeopardy and wheel. Feel better now. Hamburgers for supper became patty melts when the buns turned out to be green and furry. Oh, well...

[sandie]

Good for you. I tend to work hard for exams, not that I've had to for many years.

Change of topic. My friend Sue from church and I are going to have afternoon tea with one of the two matrirachs who founded our church 60 years ago. Coral is 89, a gorgeous Christian, you can sense love of Christ in her, and she's been cooking this morning, to prepare for us. :) She's such a sweetie!

[NurseBettyLu]

Ooh, take me with you! Church lady cooking can't be beat.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I love sweet, little old ladies. :)

[sandie]

Yes, I'm told she cooks up a storm. About to go. Eat your hearts out, ladies. :D

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Um, no thank you. My heart is just fine where it is. ;) Have fun!

[NurseBettyLu]

I'd rather eat the church lady food. Save us something?

[ZippyApplePants]

I love sweet, little old ladies. :)

Me too.

Yes, I'm told she cooks up a storm. About to go. Eat your hearts out, ladies. :D

Some friend you are! :P :D

Um, no thank you. My heart is just fine where it is. ;) Have fun!

:D

I'd rather eat the church lady food. Save us something?

Why? By the time anything she saved got here it wouldn't be worth eating. Except by a Loon King.

[sandie]

Update. Old timber furniture, white tablecloth with cloth napkins, china cups, cheese and bikkies, caramel tarts and three types of slices and a cake covered with cream. A good time was had by all. :D

Coral is a wonderful lady for 89 years old.

Funny story: She brought in the washing last week, and the washing basket must have brushed against the medical alarm button around Coral's neck. It triggered the alarm on her phone, provided by Veteran Affairs (She's technically a war widow.) Coral was outside and didn't here it. She dozed off on the lounge in the back room and awoke to find an ambulance officer bending over her to see if she was okay. She was very embarassed, but at least she knows that the system works. :P

[rossid]

Well okay now I'm up at 5 am. :D

[sandie]

Well done, D. :rolleyes:

[rossid]

Call my name
Say it loud
I want you to never dought
The love I have for you is so alive

Yup, still listening to the Revelation stream, please don't ever take it down Tim!!!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Guten Morgen, Loons! :cool:

[NurseBettyLu]

Looooooooooons!!!! My stuff from Amazon is starting to come in dribs and drabs...Ooh, Outlander!!!!!!! Series recommended to me by my sister. Quite addictive, she assures me. A bit racy, she says, but a good story.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Do you really need another addiction?

[NurseBettyLu]

The truly obsessed always have room for one more obsession.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

What's sad is that I totally understand what you mean.

[NurseBettyLu]

Sad, yes. We be sick.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yes. And I don't think a doctor can help in this situation.

[NurseBettyLu]

I don't want help. Say, I'm told I'm obsessed with the game Farm Frenzy. Not true. It's just that the bears ate my ostrich last night before I had enough hats to finish the level. I set new bear traps and bought a new dog. Now let's see them get in!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

That's the thing with obsessions, there's always some reason to keep going back.

[sandie]

Yeah, like this place. Morning all.

Do you like my interent dating site stories?

Another day, another PhD. :P They love my profile! (It was a lucky photo. Only took 25 shots, including 7 with my head partly cut off.) :rolleyes:

Yesterday, Maine, today Ohio. I keep wondering why Americans and British blokes want to contact me, as a date is going to work out very expensive for them! The man from Ohio has me intrigued. He wrote:

Favorite Hot Spots:
Depends on the day, time & mood!!Morton state park , the mists in the Southern Highlands.Hot chocolate at Exeter in the early mornings then bacon and eggs with someone special, Watsons &Jarvis Bay.

I've just checked to make sure there is no Exeter in Ohio. None! He's also lived in England, where there is an Exeter. My grandmother was born and grew up in Exeter, NSW, and these places are all in NSW and Sydney, so he's obviously been to Australia and loved it. Think I'll have to contact this man. :D

If I lived in Ohio, I'd like Australia, too!

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm not obsessed with the boards, I'm not, I'm not, I'm NOT! Okay, well, maybe a little. I placed a personal ad once. Weirdos simply oozed out of the woodwork.

[sandie]

Yeah, they are out there. There are some decent men, too, I'm sure. I only need one. :P

[rossid]

What did I miss today?

*goes in to kitchen to make a brownie sundae to ensure stomach explodes before midnite*

[ZippyApplePants]

Call my name
Say it loud
I want you to never dought
The love I have for you is so alive

Yup, still listening to the Revelation stream, please don't ever take it down Tim!!!

No doubt, that is a good song.

What did I miss today?

*goes in to kitchen to make a brownie sundae to ensure stomach explodes before midnite*

A whole lot of nothing I'd say. If it does explode, you're cleaning up the mess!
