I couldn't find any of my run-of-the-mill Jarlsberg – and I was pissed! LOL I was trying to think of some of the off-the-wall types I saw and the only one that really stands out was Limburger, which took on the aspect of myth from all those Pepe le Pew cartoon.... The Ultimate Stinky Cheese. (I *did* find some really nice English Cheddar, tho'.....)” 9:06:26 AM 3/28/04 I know absolutely nothing about golf “but I made par on the first hole I ever played. Here's how (keep in mind that I really knew nothing). I put the ball on that wooden thing and hit the ball down the fairway. Found the ball, put it on that wooden thing again, hit it onto the green and putted in. Everyone was amazed at my skill and I envisioned a great career on the PGA. Next hole they caught me teeing up on the 2nd shot and there went the damn career. My brother, 35 years later, still thinks I cheated intentionally. Had I known the rules I probably would have cheated (after all, it is golf), but I really only did so out of ignorance. From that point I quickly learned that golf wasn't for me and I went on to play real sports.” 9:17:37 AM 3/28/04 “TPC is still going on down here, but thankfully it finishes up today. I went out to dinner with my parents last and the restaurant was filled with snooty golfer wannbe types. That, and I woke up with a doozie of a cold. That really bites.” 9:21:33 AM 3/28/04 “They wear pink & purple plaid pants and they're diseased, too! LMAO (and don't forget the Limburger Breath)” 9:34:03 AM 3/28/04 “Good morning, 34 degrees in the northwoods this a.m. Not as warm as I'd like, but it's still melting. The time between winter and spring up here is a pain. The snow is practically gone and I haven't seen the first bud. Of course the snow can come quickly roaring back because we're not even finished with March. My comments about spring may be highly premature. Oh well, Coffee's still good.” 5:08:34 AM 3/29/04 “Good Morning, you all. Just got back from four days of camping and backpacking in Nebraska. Here in Illinois its rain, rain, rain. Coffee is good though.” 5:45:11 AM 3/29/04 “Just got back from four days of camping and backpacking in Nebraska. prosecutor 05:45:11 AM 03/29/04 ignore this user what kinda places they got to backpack in nebraska??? im looking for somewhere to go outwest on a short weekend trip this summer...” 5:50:52 AM 3/29/04 “Good morning. It's hardly any fun getting up without some Hugs from divinity. Snake Eyes - Have you seen the sun? My Minnesota memories of this time of the year are dark, gloomy skies and cold rains. It was depressing and there was no Spring. But, finally, one day it would change and suddenly become Summer.” 5:55:20 AM 3/29/04 “Shep, only one [lace to backback in Nebraska. Its Indian Caves State Park on the Missouri River in the far south east corner of the state. Just over twenty miles of trails, and about a half dozen shelters. On Friday, we hike a little over ten miles on all the spur trails. ON Saturday, in the rain, we hiked 6 or 7 miles from trailhead 4 to a shelter in the other side of the park, and Sunday, we hiked back to the car by other trails. Nowslimmer, March and April are the worst months in the upper midwest. Wet soggy ground makes doing anything outdoors unappetitizing.” 6:01:31 AM 3/29/04 “morning guys. weekends are too short. First time in two months that i didn't work on Saturday, two days off was really nice.” 6:01:45 AM 3/29/04 “Good morning everyone. I get to help my Dad out today, so I get to wake the bambina up early. This won't be pretty! Her grandparents let her stay up until after 11 pm, and she likes a full night's sleep.” 6:19:50 AM 3/29/04 “Nowslimmer. I haven't seen the sun but that doesn't mean I don't believe there is one. It is gray now but it sure beats the couple of years I lived in southeast Alaska...for weather anyway. It is a little dreary this time of year, but I got to fight getting sucked into it. Another couple of weeks and a few buds will pop on the trees followed by a few more, a blade of grass, a daffodil and then, one day, great big green spring will explode all over the place. This is called July.” 6:34:05 AM 3/29/04 “What!?! We just had a weekend!?!?” 7:02:03 AM 3/29/04 “How well I remember the absence of Spring. At least in Adak, Alaska, (halfway across the Aluetian Islands) the sun would appear, occassionally, between the williwaws (with their winds in excess of 100 mph).” 7:06:24 AM 3/29/04 “I'm trying to steel myself for the last snowstorm I know is lurking around the corner somewhere. It's been so beautiful here, flowers blooming grass greening up and buds swollen and about to burst on the trees. We did get out and do stuff, mud or not. Anyday now it should snow.” 7:08:24 AM 3/29/04 “I'm starting to brace for the day coming soon when they forget about us and leave the oven on broil. It's been so nice with cool evenings and mornings but it's coming soon when we convert to sauna status around here.” 7:15:13 AM 3/29/04 “Morning all..... a steamy cup of vanilla carmel tea...to take the spring chill off.... I spent yesterday day hiking in Sipsey....it is coming alive with violets and other wild flowers......the smells were awesome...... 3 days until 50.......I cannot believe I am this old!!!...I feel 25........” 7:29:27 AM 3/29/04 “Right, Roam Around. But the snowbirds will be gone and the beaches will be great.” 7:32:54 AM 3/29/04 “Shoot, fifty isn't old! And you, Divinity definately aren't old. I can tell by your posts.” 7:36:52 AM 3/29/04 “LOL...morning sassy...... my ex says I am immature...... and just this once....he is right” 7:38:30 AM 3/29/04 “Growing up is highly overrated...and they can't make you do it if you don't want to. Nowslimmer: I just saw the sun. It's been out for about 20 minutes now. I am going outside to play in it. My Kayak has been gazing longingly toward the Namekagon River but there's just too many ice floes. It won't be long. Nothing is forever” 7:44:27 AM 3/29/04 “I was at Sipsey yesterday.....and I was SOOOOOO wanting to get my kayak out.........” 7:53:23 AM 3/29/04 “hey div, nothing wrong with acting and feeling 20 years younger than you really are, or MORE! you got your job, you pay your bills, right? So go have some FUN! your entitled to!” 7:55:16 AM 3/29/04 “I am going to.......wooohooo....I go to days on April 5th, so now I can go back to my Yoga class....walk every eve with my roomy, and be off work Fridays at 1pm....wooohooooo” 7:59:46 AM 3/29/04 “man that sounds great div!” 8:05:17 AM 3/29/04 “well...I will have to get up at 3 am.....LOL.....but can hit the trail early Fridays!!!!” 8:14:29 AM 3/29/04 “3 am is not for me - the only time I wanna see 3 am is after a good night of partying, or being otherwise entertained!” 8:21:08 AM 3/29/04 “well..I can come home and nap everyday...woohooo” 8:21:59 AM 3/29/04 “I have a pickup load of junk from the sheds I cleaned out this weekend at home. I'm finally throwing away 3 lawnmowers I've been nursing along for years.” 8:32:01 AM 3/29/04 There's a sickness going arouind. “It's that Spring Cleaning Fever. I just got rid of a lawnmower, too, and some other junk. Even painted the outside, trimmed a palm tree, and now plan to scrape and paint the bathroom.” 9:09:55 AM 3/29/04 “Ugh, don't remind me...I have a lot of painting to do this summer...” 9:21:43 AM 3/29/04 “surely I'm not the first one up? I'll put on the coffee while the rest of you guys wash the goop outta your eyes.” 5:52:54 AM 3/30/04 “I was waiting for my coffee maker to finish dripping, and warming my fingers up on a troll-flame post. Cloudy and cool here in northeast Illinois.” 5:57:28 AM 3/30/04 Good morning. “Naw, I've been up for a couple of hours. Been laughting at Lizs' job interview and trying to get around one of the bugs in the computer. Can't eat before a medical test this morning. Will be leaving soon for a steam bath and shower at the health club before going to the lab. Have a great day.” 6:02:45 AM 3/30/04 “Good morning. I've got sleepy eyes this morning and don't really want to get up. Can't be late for aerobics; don't want to deprive the ladies of their morning laugh. Firmed up plans for a thru hike of the Lake Superior hiking trail this summer. Really looking forward to the opportunity and the experience. Thank you Lord for the coffee.” 6:11:08 AM 3/30/04 “Good morning all. Had the A/C on last night but finally was able to open the windows. The birds make such a racket around 4AM they kind of woke me up, not quite but almost. Lovely out right now, supposed to hit mid 90's today, but break nicely for the weekend, with maybe, if the planets align, some rain. Time to get ready for the cube farm. Enjoy the day!” 6:29:29 AM 3/30/04 “Too early for me. I'm off to D.C. today. Saw the cherry blossoms on the new yesterday. Looks like a great time to photograph some of the monuments.” 6:48:46 AM 3/30/04 “when you get back, remember to share Pathman!” 7:22:56 AM 3/30/04 Good morning “What a beautiful day it is. There isn't a cloud in the sky and a gentle cool breeze blowing. It feels like spring.” 7:27:07 AM 3/30/04 “Good morning everyone. Well, I thought I had bad allergies like everyone else around here, but it's a cold instead. All this garbage has settled into my lungs and I feel horrible. I really don't feel like working for my Dad today (I've been helping him out) and Laurel, thankfully, seems to understand what "sick" means and has been quiet and leaving Mommy alone. I think all the gag-sounding coughs scare her ,lol.” 8:06:11 AM 3/30/04 “Coffee is probably ready (he said, attempting to pry open his right eye).” 8:16:28 AM 3/30/04 “Morning all..... I must have needed sleep..I set my alarm for 7am....I shut it off in my sleep..... some tea for a nice shot of caffine........” 9:12:51 AM 3/30/04 “Good morning, you cute, young chick, you!” 9:17:36 AM 3/30/04 “hey treebait, I had that same thing last week. A couple good days rest did wonders.” 9:19:16 AM 3/30/04 “hugs Nowslimmer....two days!!!!! wooohooo...I have never been so excited about a birthday before....I guess cause I never thought I would make it this far ..... I am going tio try to make this next year the BEST year of my life.........” 9:33:25 AM 3/30/04 “One day at a time.” 9:36:53 AM 3/30/04 “My room mate is having a big party for me Saturday...and a lunch on Sunday for my kids and friends ( anyone in my area is more than welcome to attend....email me for directions...)...I plan on having a great time, and enjoy my friends and family....” 9:47:53 AM 3/30/04 “Good morning. Mostly sunny with a high of 82°F. today in Melbourne, FL. Have a great day.” 4:54:58 AM 3/31/04 ugh “east coast time and hotel coffee.” 5:22:17 AM 3/31/04 Good morning, Pathman. “Drinking that stuff they place in the rooms or in a restaurant? Did they provide a laptop with the coffee? Have you seen the cherry blossoms, yet?” 5:33:19 AM 3/31/04 Jump to Page << prev
