Can you post on TT?” 7:06:28 AM 3/09/04 Divinity “I'm really glad you have that job (someone's got to pay taxes so I can keep on being retired). However, I still think that working for a living is about as overrated as growing up. So, grow up and go to work.” 7:07:35 AM 3/09/04 “Get up you slackers!” 4:25:40 AM 3/10/04 “YAWN! 8o” 5:11:40 AM 3/10/04 “i'm up, i'm up already! coffee?” 5:26:57 AM 3/10/04 “Sun's been up for quite a while. I'm lagging. Maybe I'm sleeping more because of the decaf. Gotta get it started now. It's only 51°F. here in Melbourne, tonight it's going down to 43. Brrr. But then it will start warming again. Have a great day.” 6:27:58 AM 3/10/04 “It'll be 61 for a high here today. It's funny. Sunday, we went from having the AC on to having the heat on in 12 hours. That temperature dropped fast. Laurel is up early today, so I don't have my morning "me" time today. TIme to chase the bambina!” 6:39:34 AM 3/10/04 “I wonder what 51 feels like? Sounds positively sweltering. On my little skiing trip I came across something yesterday quite unusual for this time of year: mosquitoes. Sort of makes you wonder about the effects of global warming doesn't it? Today's agenda is (1) finish this coffee, (2) drink some more, (3) cardiovascular weight program, (4) ski or run and (5) clean that bathroom that got skipped yesterday. Have a great day shipmates.” 6:42:47 AM 3/10/04 “Sounds like a really rough schedule there, Snakeyes.” 6:44:03 AM 3/10/04 “Been up for a couple of hours. Walked the dog, took a shower and headed off to work. 30 degrees and overcast here today. It looks like it's going to rain nearly every day next week. I'm glad I'll be out of town.” 6:45:22 AM 3/10/04 “Ah Laurel, my coffee-loving girl! 18 months and loves coffee. I'm in trouble!” 6:51:08 AM 3/10/04 “My mother used to give us coffee when we were kids, half canned milk and half coffee. She makes the worst..I mean the strongest coffee I've ever drank. It makes Cuban coffee taste like water. She'll be 82 on 3/24 and all she wants is good coffee, a good neighborhood bar and country music. She's okay until the 2nd beer and then she wants to arm wrestle. Ever wonder what sagging tattoos look like?” 6:58:40 AM 3/10/04 “I'd think sagging something elses would be worse.” 7:03:34 AM 3/10/04 “ (5) clean that bathroom that got skipped yesterday.aBathroom! What comfort! I thought you used a privy. Didn't you mention you were going to build a new two-seater?” 7:14:05 AM 3/10/04 “It's pretty civilized up here now. Running water, lights, indoor crapper. One thing hasn't changed, you still have to drive 55 miles north from my hometown to see a stop light. One thing I like up here is that there is very little political correctness. And don't pull anyone's finger, not even Mother Superior. Ever.” 7:21:58 AM 3/10/04 “sounds pretty cool Snake Eyes. Treebait: my littlest has ALWAYS liked coffee, I used to dillute it with milk and let her have a little in her sippy cup - she's outgrown the sippy cup now but she still asks on the weekends for a little coffee.” 8:42:29 AM 3/10/04 “Morning!!!!!!!.... I slept in until 8........wooohoooo... THAT was my goal..... now for some yummy tea..... unless one of y'all wanna bring me a nice cup of coffee.....” 8:50:32 AM 3/10/04 No coffee “just that birthday spanking.” 8:54:46 AM 3/10/04 “Hey ..I have 22 days until any spankings!!!!” 8:56:59 AM 3/10/04 Hugs “Love to bring you coffee, divinity, but you need to move closer. How's the job going?” 8:57:24 AM 3/10/04 Be careful “that man is smooooth. First the coffee, then the spanking.” 9:01:59 AM 3/10/04 “and no birthday cake.” 9:03:04 AM 3/10/04 “LOL..hahahaha.... Nowslimmer...thanks & hugs...... the job is going great.....I am not used to working sitting down!!!! now I will have to walk & use my stair stepper more..... when are you coming my way next???” 9:07:01 AM 3/10/04 “divinity - I get carried there every night in my dreams. The dreams are so good, I'm afraid to drive up there.” 9:17:39 AM 3/10/04 “LOl....you are sooo smoooth...LOL....” 9:52:21 AM 3/10/04 “divinity - It's because of you. You're so calm and relaxed that words flow easily when talking with you. It's easy to say nice things to someone nice.” 11:15:43 AM 3/10/04 Fortunately my computer comes with a “BARF BAG.” 12:38:00 PM 3/10/04 “What is considered noise by one person may be music to another.” 1:23:43 PM 3/10/04 “another vote for BARF, here LOL” 1:46:18 PM 3/10/04 “Reminder to self: 1. Move Snake Eyes and Tilt to the other list. 2. Increase my efforts in aikijutsu class, especially with toide and combat ki.” 2:30:37 PM 3/10/04 Sounds like “your martial arts are closer to marital and more horizontal than vertical. I would have said "get a room", but you were already there. Accelerate your martial arts and I'll accelerate my running program. You can't beat me up if you can't catch me.” 3:52:00 PM 3/10/04 “Reminder to self: mention the privacy benefits of email and instant messaging to Nowslimmer...” 4:00:36 PM 3/10/04 “Gee, here I thought this was one big happy family without secrets. Is that green flickering on my screen radiated because of some far away twitches of envy? Apparently, there exist some book-burners out there, stand-alones, who are adverse to increasing their education by their readings. Snake Eyes - I'm sorry, I misled you. I would chase no one. Aikijutsu is defensive combat. Offensive techniques would be used only if a confrontation is inevitable. The first lesson is to avoid a conflict, if at all possible. "True self=defense doesn't mean winning the fight. it means stopping the confrontation before it escalates into a fight." (Combat Jui-jitsu by Norman Leff) You might enjoy viewing my pictures on Phil's Photo Page. I do reach a horizontal position upsidedown above the mat. A short write-up with pictures is here.” 6:55:06 PM 3/10/04 Great pictures “but you still can't catch me. I hope you understand, tho, that I'm joking. Hope to see you when you get up north.” 8:30:33 PM 3/10/04 “woah 4534 posts, man! whats the tt record for longest running thread” 8:37:24 PM 3/10/04 “Right, Snake Eyes. What's chances of you joining Pekka and me for a short hike over in his area, like on Monday, June 21st?” 9:35:28 PM 3/10/04 “Go to bed, NS, so you can post on this thread tommorrow morning!” 9:39:13 PM 3/10/04 “OK.” 10:46:51 PM 3/10/04 “Nowslimmer.......pay no attention to the TTers behind the curtain.........” 11:34:40 PM 3/10/04 mscmb here! “Good morning good morning good morning!!!!! :) Get up all you slackers today is thurday and time to get up and go to work. (Believe me it will make the weekend come faster)” 3:47:28 AM 3/11/04 “Yawn!” 4:13:02 AM 3/11/04 “I'm up...yawn. So much to do and too little time before my trip to Las Vegas next week for a conference. It will make the trip to Baxter State Park the wekk after so much closer.” 5:02:46 AM 3/11/04 “I'm up. Clear and cool this morning in northern Illinois. Coffee taste great. Yesterday, I got in a 6 mile practise hike in the woods behind my house with a 35 pound backpack to toughen up da feet.” 6:01:14 AM 3/11/04 Attack “Boy, I've just got to attack some of these chores today. Everyone have a great day. Hmmmmm. 35 pounds on a dayhike in the woods around Chicago. Sounds a little suspicious. Could prosecutor have been burying the evidence, like perhaps some of his previous posts? LOL.” 6:22:09 AM 3/11/04 “Good morning, Coffee does taste good this a.m. Amazing how it helps to set it up at night rather than bumping around trying to do it in the morning. Here are some reasons why I'm going to have a good day: 1. I will never again be this young. 2. I may be dumb, but I'm smarter than I ever was. 3. I can't and don't have to fix the world's problems. 4. I know that if the phone or the doorbell ring I don't have to answer either. 5. I've finally learned that what other folks think of me is none of my damn business (I do have to re-learn that occasionally). 6. Because I said so. Hope you folks have a good day too” 6:23:12 AM 3/11/04 “I'm up, barely. It was one of those toss and turn sleepless nights for me, and the coffee tastes like hell this morning. I'd love to go back to sleep, but it doesn't feel possible. Maybe I can convince my mom to babysit Laurel for at least part of the day, and catch a good nap.” 6:33:37 AM 3/11/04 “I'm not sure what sort of morning it is. I came home last night to find a wall gone in my house, albeit rather neatly gone, and loads of wood stacked up against the remaining wall. Now, the man says he can't grocery shop tonight, he MUST BUILD (grunt),lol.* But it is Thursday, and my baby is feeling better and everyone should be back at work today so I'll only have to do ten hours of work in eight, instead of sixteen. Now, it is snowing but my daffodills are about six inches tall now and the crocus' are in full bloom. It's just a mixed bag morning. *I was aware this was going to happen, it just snuck up on me I guess.” 7:43:36 AM 3/11/04 I miss daffodils “Since I moved back to Wisconsin I have planted nothing because I'm not sure what the deer will and won't eat. Are daffodils safe?” 7:54:17 AM 3/11/04 “Daffodils will make deer sick and kill squirrels. Plant all you want!” 8:11:17 AM 3/11/04 “up well before six day. boy am i getting in a rut” 8:14:09 AM 3/11/04 Jump to Page << prev
