Awww the more the merrier... they are pretty cool kids coming from starty... LOL

HAHA! Free as in available... those are the only ones that appeal to me... none of that other stuff. A girl has to have her standards and mine is "not attached, not taken, available, single, alive"... OK, I'll throw in "good sense of humor, likes history, isn't intimidated by a successful woman who knows more about American Civil War history than he probably will ever hope to know, OK with cats, likes impulsive chicks, loves museums, adores international travel, likes a wide array of music... " alright, alright, Ken doesn't exist, does he??

Did I say "cute tush" too? ;)

Oh, and coffee is a must. A love for coffee is almost as important as a love for history. Almost.

I spit out my coffee when I saw ALIVE... LMAO LOLOLOLOL:D

i spit out my coffee when i saw ALIVE...LMAO LOLOLOLOL:D

Yup, sad, isn't it? That I'd actually sometimes settle for those two simple ingredients... SINGLE and ALIVE...

Wow...

Ya, breathing is always a great quality in a man.:D

I guess my hubbies definitely out, on many counts;

1. He's definitely attached, to me and hopefully to my car door until he fixes it.
2. Doesn't know diddly about History.
3. Allergic to cats (so is my son).
4. The last time we went to the museum he asked for a wheelchair because he was tired.
5. He hates coffee, that's okay, more for me.

On the other hand, he is alive (and he'll stay that way if he fixes my car door), he has a great sense of humor (otherwise he wouldn't be able to handle me), he likes to travel and the tush is salvageable.

Sorry, he doesn't have a younger brother, but if you know anyone who's willing to take his sister far far away, let me know.:p I'm not kidding.;)

;)

Oh goodness HC, you are a bright beautiful woman, there is someone looking for you right this minute, just hold up butter cup...

:D Thanks Starty... yes, I know. And believe me, I'm very content waiting. My life is crazy right now - and all that entails. Funny though, don't know if I'll ever find another man that is actually content to sit and watch me pore over books about war... its quite odd, really. My dream would be to go back to school and get another Masters (in Military History) and a PhD in Public History.

One day! :)

Till then, I'm content with my cute barista - he's my coffee supplier and I don't have to worry about him leaving stinky socks all over my place! ;)

You better believe it, HChicky, you're going to meet the man of your dreams some day, and he will be alive, I promise you.;)

A smart wonderful girl like you, I personally know many men that would kill for the chance to meet you. When are you coming to Canada, I'll personally introduce you. Heck, I'll even phone the county and get the number for the snow plow guy. Don't hold your breath though, he's gorgeous, and alive (last time I saw him anyway), but he's probably not the sharpest tool in the shed. They're usually missing one ingredient, I'd rather go for intelligent than gorgeous. My favorite line is; Beauty fades, dumb is forever.

LOL... Alty, aren't you lucky!
I hope he gets your dang car fixed, I have been there, actually I am there right now...
I love history and war movies and reading about it... I love it, don't know much but love to listen and read about it! WOW, that is what it does it all just WOW's me...

Well Starty and HChicky - It's time for me to do some housework, Ugh! I'll talk to the two of you later. Have a great day and drink lots of coffee, or wine, or whatever gets you through this Monday.

Aufwiedersehen,

Alty

Zai jian, Alty!

Have a great afternoon - have a coffee for me :)

Bye... lol
:D
HChicky is a lovely name, I think it fits... good job!
Have a good night ladies!

Well, until you threw in the "good looking" aspect, I actually had a guy in mind for you, HC!

He's NOT a Chippendale's candidate, but smart, funny, intelligent, and single.

I'm open! ;)

Actually, I read back over that... and the cat thing might be an issue. The guy I'm thinking of is allergic.

Age group?

(I know a LOT of single guys--great guys, just not on the "A" list for looks)

All right, I'm liking you even more Synn... I respected you before, now I'd like to sit you down and pick your brain!

Oh, I'm soon to be 29...

Coffee is a must, either he has to love it or know how to make it. :)

Ummm... should I be scared?

I'm married to a geek. I know a lot of great guys because geeks flock together, AND geeks generally have a hard time approaching women.

I'm also 33--an age where most of my female friends are married with kids. So... I'm always on the lookout for smart women to introduce to my guy friends :)

I'll email him the little blurb above.

Well, you just gave me a smile...

A smile combined with a cup of Green Mountain Southern Pecan coffee equals a nifty moment. :)

I would like a spicy latte to clear up my nothes... I mean nose... ohhhhhhh
Do they make spicy lattes? I am going nuts now... never mind.
Synn, you are nice to help a girl (lady, or woman whatever you prefer HChicky) out up there... LOL Good luck with all that!

Ahhh... the sweet caffeinated nectar has once again worked its magic upon my attitude :)

Morning, all!

MORNING! Is that hazelnut I smell? Yes. Yes it is.

Close! :) Southern Pecan... mmm...

You?

Aww... Starty... how's the nothe this morning?

I like lady... Mom always taught me to be one, so I guess I is! ;)

Was looking for my morning quote and felt in a "shakespeare mood" - "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the heart." Beautiful, isn't it? :)

Mmmm... cranberry cream.

I just want to say I'm suffering from too much out-of-bedness and not enough coffeeness.

A few caffeine quotes... enjoy! I'm off to a meeting, armed with my cup o' cheer!

I believe humans get a lot done, not because we're smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee. ~Flash Rosenberg

Decaffeinated coffee is the devil's blend. ~Author Unknown

Coffee smells like freshly ground heaven. ~Jessi Lane Adams

Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee. ~Stephanie Piro

My coffee chicks are MIA! (oh, Sneezy too! :) ) This is sad...

Bedness? K... lol
Love the quotes HC... have fun at your meeting and don't be too bossy lady! My nothes is still stuffy, but I am going to make it, no doubt about that!
ISF, you got to get the vanilla, tooo regular? Do I need to jump out of the box?

They actually make me WORK at work sometimes.

They actually make me WORK at work sometimes.
Me too, any how about you try to take orders from people that are 2, 4, and 6... helpme...

They actually make me WORK at work sometimes.

Phisshhh... "work" at work? Crazy, dictatorial bosses, I tell you! But yes... understand.

Starty - meeting was good, I wasn't too much of a dragon lady, just a little. While wearing shoes like I'm wearing today, you have to give them a little attitude! ;)

Synn - Cranberry cream coffee? Wow! I've never heard of such a thing... mmm... I'm seriously envious of you... (email's off... if nothing else, I'm smiling :) )

Ah, sorry my fellow coffee nuts. @ work all day... running an assay. Off for lunch now... then back again. It's been a grueling week (8am - 9pm days at the lab).

Where would I be without my barista waiting for me every morning and night?

Hi I'm back. Day from hell. No amount of coffee was going to stop the myoclonic head jerks in those lectures. Urgh I'm shattered. Penultimate week though - scary... soon I'll have to be a 'real' person again.

Sneeze are you a researcher too? I got it into my head you were a med student.

Berres Brothers Coffee Roasters (http://www.berresbros.com/)

That's where I order my coffee.

Check out their specialty flavors :)

Mistletoe Mocha, Coconut Cream, Packer Perk, White Russian!! I'm in HEAVEN!

*sigh* Thanks!


(I think... )

I recommend the Highlander Grogg, the Cranberry Cream, and the Strawberry Cream.

The peach---not so good.

Come on into the coffee shop and put your feet up. :)

Ordered a catalog... you're evil... there goes my emergency fund!

Highlander Grogg - mmm... Definitely going to try that Packer Perk...

LOL... you're not from WI, are you HC?

Yikes, Sneeze... how do you find TIME for the ladies?

:) not from WI, but I spent three summers up there as a camp counselor during college. Whitewater Lake became my summer home... I still love WI because of it.

The coffee caught my eye by the description... "A winning combination of buttery hazelnut with a kick of Irish cream." Mmmm...

I forgot you had to do pre-med over the pond!

Who likes irish coffees (coffee with a shot of whiskey)?

Yikes, Sneeze...how do you find TIME for the ladies?

I don't find time for the ladies...

... time finds ladies for me.

... did that make sense? no... I don't think it really did. Sad.

LOL! How much coffee have you had today, Sneezy? I think it makes sense...

Mmm... Irish coffee... mmmm... I had this amazing Irish coffee in Beijing. They actually served the coffee in this beautiful glass suspended over a Bunsen burner type dealy-do. It was rather hard to drink, but it looked awesome. Reminded me of those German beer stein things - the wooden holder and the glass at an angle, over a tiny flame... it was weird, but goooooood! :D

Strange...

So just curious, have any of you ever tried Kopi Luwak? It sells between $120 and $600 a pound. I have never had it. I bet it tastes pretty crappy, lol.

Kopi Luwak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak)

Wow... I'm a coffee junkie, but that is just too much for me...

Drinking something that comes from a weasel's tushie... wow... I'll stick to my Southern Pecan, thank you!

Yuck... that picture on wiki!! Wow...

I was in cali one weekend and my friend, knowing how big of a coffee fanatic I was... decided to take me to a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop that served kopi luwak... at $32 a cup. And by cup, I mean one of those espresso cups.

I knew it came out of a civet's before I tried it... but hey, why not?

To be honest, it's a bit bold and rich, while there's no bitterness... I know, it seems weird. Def an experience... definitely different tasting than all other coffees I've ever tried.

... anyways, anyone try kona? I've never tried it and have always wanted to...

Wow... Sneezy - you're my hero... wow...

Kona... mmmmmm... Awesome coffee.

My Dad used to travel to South America quite a bit and would bring back pounds of the strongest, most divine coffee you'd ever taste. At the time, I didn't know what kind it was (and still don't) but all I know is that my Mom would restrict my consumption to before noon and only on Saturdays...

Herein lies the key to my addiction...

Hehe, that's cool. No bitterness huh? I bet I would like it. Wow, that sounds weird just saying it.

I am still getting over the $32.00

You had better watch it, my dear, I can find my own Kopi Luwak... my neighbors have a ferret!!!! Mwa-HA-HA! :D

Oh man, you know... maybe we could start a ferret farm and make our own. I figure ferrets are easier to come by than a civet. Ok... MA's seeing dollar signs. But seriously... who do we nominate to collect the beans? Not it!!

Heeyyyy!! The whole ferret thing was my idea, that gives me automatic "not it" to the whole bean collecting thing... :D Any volunteers?

I like my coffee flavored, and NOT by a ferret's butt.

You can count me out of the whole thing!

Actually, are you against child labor? Because I have an even cooler idea...

Annnyway, I'm going to Starbucks now :) Catch you later.

I have four children do what you will... LOL
Just kidding gosh!
No ferret buns coffee, yuck...

WHERE'S MY ALTY?? I need a better mental image... PuhLEEEze!!

An adorable bunny would do wonderfully...

Mmm... Cadbury Eggs... Yum... Cadbury Eggs and a cup of steamy, Packer Perk coffee... mmm..

The Packer Perc is good, but I'm telling you the Highlander Grogg is better.

I keep telling my hubby that he should put on a kilt and serve it to me :)

The Packer Perc is good, but I'm telling you the Highlander Grogg is better.

I keep telling my hubby that he should put on a kilt and serve it to me :)

Ok, OK... taking your word. I'll go with the Highlander Grogg first, then the Packer Perk!

See, now that is a much better mental image. A kilt-wearing man serving me steamy cups of Highlander Grogg. Yummy...

(The "yummy" was referring to the steamy coffee, you knew that, right?;) )

LOL, what we all can get from a dang cup of coffee. You ladies are too funny.

Ah, but the sad thing is, what would I be without my coffee?

Dull, boring, worker drone... that's sad.

Very sad indeed. I love coffee, I love talking about it and hearing about it, I love it all together. I am hooked and never looking back.
I was just reading through some old posts and drinking a good cup, and it feels so good... BUT, now I got to fill my cup and do something constructive... lol

Hi all, wow you've been busy.:)

I was cleaning house and wiping snotty noses, how are you doing with your nothe Starty, please don't ask me to wipe it, I've had enough.

One of my bunnies is sick and I've been doing my best to get her up to par. She's my sweetie, the closest thing to a cat that isn't actually a cat. She'll sit on your lap while watching a movie, she licks and cuddles, she's my little lovey.

I've had two pots of coffee today and it's now 3pm here in good old Canada. The snow is dripping of the roof and it sounds like heaven to me. Ah, coffee and melting snow, now only if the kids felt better.:p

I wonder how Bunny coffee beans would taste, has to be better than weasel butts and they come out looking very much like they went in. Any thoughts?

Hey all, I'm getting a bit paranoid. I come to say hi and everyone seems to have left. Where are all my buddies? Did the rabbit poo coffee gross you out that much that I've been left persona non gratta (is that spelled right)?

I'm all alone, there's no one here beside me. Boo Hoo.

LOL! Naa... just got busy with emails at the end of the day... Work called, stupid work. :)

I'm closing up shop for the night though... take care, dear!

Mm... stopping for an espresso on the way home!

Bye for now HChicky, talk to you tomorrow.

Have a sip for me, I'm stuck at home with the sickies.

Alty

HChicky out...

Night all! Turn the lights out when you leave :)

1/2 hour left here... and then my darling husband will have my coffee all warmed up for me when I get home.

Mmm... coffee.

Synnen - I envy you, I can't drink coffee in the evening, I'd be up all night.

I should have had some yesterday evening though, I was up all night with two sick kids and one sick bunny. Honestly, I need a nap.

Decaf is for evenings :)

Oh, Oh, you said the bad word. The word that should never be spoken. Dare I say it? Decaf. HChicky is going to be mad tomorrow. :)

Don't worry, I'll help defend you, but let us make it clear. Decaf :eek: is only for the evenings.

Well, I've got to go clean the bathroom, oh joy. I'll talk to you all later, or tomorrow, it all depends on how quick I can get my stuff done. Take care all and have a great Tuesday.

Alty:)

RAH...

I hate all day, early morning meetings...

I'm going to be a witch in stilettos today and NO ONE can stop me!

"Bring me coffee and back away. Resistance to my nastiness is futile."

(I'm not addressing the whole "decaf" thing - I had some of my own late last night! ;))

Talk to you girls later today - stupid conference goes ALL DAY.

Rah...

Had my time with the worm cup or should I say shot of the fames espresso. I love it. Had to get it this morning. Thank you so much for the delightful experience. I am passing this on to others. You know what? You should have called this "coffee news" and made people part of staff. I would have been good for the commercials. Lol, anyway thanks and on back to you HistorianChick.

Hey HChicky and Scottish - Good morning to all, hope your coffee is warm and tasty.

I woke up to an empty pot this morning, apparently I forgot to set the timer. There's nothing quite as annoying as having to wait for the coffee to brew. I almost cried.

HChicky - Have fun in your meeting, we'll be waiting for your return.

And good morning to you Altenweg. Yes indeed. "THIS JUST IN" I was talking to a colleague of mine today in his office and he offered me a coffee. You know me.. Anyway I said sure why not but the big problem accrued. No condiments. No Sugar cream, milk, or even coffee whitener. What to do? Since I love coffee so much I decided to have it black as he has it. What was I to do? So I drank it black. WOW the flavour adored my mouth. So I think I will have to keep trying it black for a day or so to see how it pains out. Back to you fellow coffee drinkers.

I can't stank coffee without sugar and milk, I've tried and failed. Every time I run out of milk it brings tears to my eyes, it's just not the same without my milk. I really have to think about investing in a cow, or a goat. Hmmm, coffee and goats milk. Goats are smaller, easier to maintain, less poop. I've got to look into this whole goat idea.

Hmm The goat idea.. I can't see it flying. Too much of a mess to clean up. Considering you always mention about cleaning. Lol just a thought.

Scottish - I looked on the internet to see if I could own a goat in a residential area. Apparently goats are not allowed, either are cows or chickens for that matter. Maybe I should have my milk delivered.

You are right about the mess, but the goat would go into the backyard. The dogs already poop out there, what's another pile to pick up?:)

Got to go refill my cup.

I really need this first cup a coffee to soak in...
:) see you when it finally does, have a great day and drink yer coffee!:)

LMAO... Your killing me. THIS JUST IN Mountain of poop over exceeding back yard at Altenweg house. What do do. Back to you. Feeeeeeeooo cheers ahhh coffee.

Good morning to you Starty, we'll be here when you get back. I'm on my second cup as we speak. Ahhh, coffee, my sweet, sweet nectar of the Gods.

Oh Scottish, you might have noticed that we've gone cutesy with our names. I'm now Alty, HC is HChicky and Startover is Starty. Can we call you Scotty?

I wonder how much goat poop coffee beans sell for...

Great, now of course I can't resist, "Beam me up Scotty.":D

Okay, that's out of my system, I'll be good from now on, promise.:o

FYI, there already is a mountain of poop in my backyard, the snow has finally melted enough that I'll be out there all weekend (with my rubber boots on) picking up the poop that accumulated this winter. Just so you know; 2 dogs + 6 months = allot of poop. :(

I need more coffee!

Where is HC anyway. I hope all is well? HC Where are you??

I wonder how much goat poop coffee beans sell for.....

I don't want to know badly enough to do the research. Goat poop coffee beans, EEEEEK!

All I know is my second cup better work... LOL
I kind of feel like a robot you know?

3 cups, doubles no doubt, in a Starbucks cup and I am seeing the light finally...


GM coffee addicts:)

Where is HC anyways. I hope all is well? HC Where are you???????

She's in an all day meeting today, she said she'd catch up to us later.

Are we not entertaining enough? :(

Cousin Elly is the world's worst at getting instructions mixed up. When she got married her husband bought her one of those fancy, electric coffee makers. It had all the latest gadgets on it. Salesman Riley carefully explained how everything worked; how to plug it in, set the timer, go back to bed, and upon rising, the coffee is ready." A few weeks later Elly was back in the store and Riley asked her how she liked the coffee maker. "Wonderful!" she replied, "However, there's one thing I don't understand. Why do I have to go to bed every time I want to make a pot of coffee?"

How about now?:)

Ok coffee drinkers. Get your cups filled up. I have a situation that needs allot of peoples attention. We have a girl in a situation that requires our help. The more advise the better. I am adding a link so please try to take the time to add to it. It is moving me and I can't stand it. https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/family-law/hey-names-courtney-im-17-dad-hit-me-belt-monday-night-left-marks-193753.html

Scottish - Yikes, that is disturbing. I did reply, but I don't know if it will do any good. I hate not being able to fix these kinds of problems. This is one of those times that I wish I could jump through my computer to her end and give her a hug and help her out. What is it with people that they think that beating up another human being, your own flesh and blood, is okay. Arrgh, it makes me so mad.

Is it okay to add some bailey's into my coffee now?

Ah you are so sweet. It bothers me to no extreme. If she lived near me I would have a few choice word with her father. This calls for a cheers to you all that added to the thread. Thank you. If we all where together I would buy you all a coffee. Thanks. Ahhh The coffee that makes the day.

KBC, it's nice to see you here... ;)
Alty and Scott, it can be real scary being 17, I am just hoping she can talk, tell, and make someone listen to her. Good coffee there Scotty, thanks!

Well I've got to go pick up my little princess. Talk to you all later.

I ran the shop out of people!!

"sniff...sniff" Nope I did take a shower today, teeth clean too... hmmm?

I ran the shop out of people!!!

"sniff...sniff" Nope I did take a shower today, teeth clean too...hmmm?

Hahahaha, you can't run us off KBC, no way. You out of know that by now. (start holds her hand up real high) "here!!"
Still got my coffee, working around the house, keeping my mind off every single thing I can!:rolleyes:

Good to hear the house is being looked after start

And attendance will be taken at lunch hour too... lol

/sigh

It's too early, and not enough coffee, for me to be dealing with militant anti-adoption people.

I hate to even ask cause I know Cookie Monster (Synn's avatar)doesn't like to share his cookies, but I really need one at this point, coffee isn't cutting it! This is not a good day, will it get better, I don't know!

I made cookies last night, I'm sending you one with my mind, is it working?

Mmmm, I think I'll dip one in my coffee.:p

/sigh

It's too early, and not enough coffee, for me to be dealing with militant anti-adoption people.


What can we do to cheer you up? Just let me know, I'll do my best to make your wish come true.

Adoption is just a weird subject. The people who know a lot about it have DEFINITE opinions about it. And... no one agrees with anyone else.

There's just a particular poster in those forums that drives me nuts, and she started FIRST thing this morning.

I'm sorry that you're having a bad day Synnen. The only thing I can think of is drink more coffee, add a bit of bailey's, that's what I plan to do at 5pm.

Here's a joke to cheer you up, it's not about coffee because I couldn't find any I haven't already posted. Instead it's about a rabbit, why, because that's my avatar. Enjoy;

A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car. The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit.

Much to his dismay, the rabbit is dead. The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry. A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over. She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.

"I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it."

The blonde says, "Oh, don't worry."

She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead rabbit, bends down, and sprays the contents onto the rabbit.

The rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road. Ten feet away the rabbit stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.

The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and inquires, "What is in that can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"

The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label. It says...

(Are you ready for this?)

(Are you sure?)

(This is bad!)

It says, "Hair Spray - Restores life to dead hair, adds permanent wave"


I didn't say it was a good joke.:o

LOL, I liked it, I bet that man and that woman went for coffee after to talk about it! Hahahahahahahahahaha

I'm not having a BAD day--I just get frustrated with specific types of questions and responses sometimes.

And I finished my coffee, and all they have here at work now is icky black stuff with the powder creamer.

Oh Synnen, your stuck with office coffee? My heart goes out to you. May I suggest stopping at Starbucks on your way home?

If you need to vent your frustration, you know that we're all here to lend an ear. Grab a seat and a coffee and let it all out. You know me, I'll tell you exactly what I think.:)

I switched to water for now--maybe when I go to lunch (I'm working late today, so lunch is at 3 or so) I'll swing by Starbucks and use my lunch money on coffee.

I might swing by Walmart and buy a sweater, too... it's COLD in our office today!

You said the other magic word, Walmart. Love Walmart.

It's really windy in my neck of the woods. I went to get gas for my van and the door flew out of my hands when I opened it. My 5 year old daughter said that I better hold her hand when we walked back to the car, otherwise, she said, I might blow away.

I can't wait to go to Walmart and buy shorts for the summer.

Sorry that some of you are having bad days...

However, my day is... beautiful.

Got off work. The weather is AMAZING... 71 degrees, sun is shining, light breeze... I love it so much that I'm not going to write my thesis... instead, I'm going to take my dog for a walk in the park.

And oh yes, I had a venti verona.

Sneezy, Have fun walking your doggy, hold onto the leash with one hand and the coffee with the other, you don't want to spill.

I've got to do some laundry, fold some laundry, watch my daughter create more laundry, go to Walmart to buy laundry detergent. Are you recognizing a theme?

I'll talk to you all later. Have fun and drink loads of coffee.

Alty out.

Four pages!! Wow... I feel unnecessary... Un-missed... un-loved...

Naaa... actually, I'm feeling like the proud owner of a successful hang-out spot! :)

Wow... you all are great! Scotty - so glad you liked the concoction! A little cup-o'-heaven, wasn't it? Mmm...

I drank so much coffee today its REALLY not funny.

Watched Star Trek: First Contact last night and was so tempted to say "Resistance is futile people, really, just go with it." Then when leaving? Hehehe "Assimilate this!!" :D

HChicky was Witchy today... (It was fuuuunnnn!)

Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow, bright and early with my coffee in hand. So glad that the coffee shop went on without me. What would I do without my buds?

I'm sorry I missed you HChicky Bud. I'll talk to you tomorrow, this time I'll remember to set my timer on the coffee pot and I promise I'll be more pleasant.

Your Bud Alty

P.S. You were missed.

Geez
You guys are all off to bed and I'm still on my 1st coffee Downunder.

Hi Friend4U (we've got to shorten that) - Nope, I'm not off to bed yet, its 7:30pm right now in good old Canada, my daughter's in the bath and I'm drinking water.

I didn't know that you lived in Australia, I've always wanted to take a trip Downunder, maybe when the kids are older, I don't think that I could handle that much time on a plane with a 9 year old and a 5 year old.

Anyway, time to lather rinse repeat my little girls hair.:)

Hey Alty
Yeah I get to miss all the fun , when you guys are chatting in the coffee shop I'm sleeping away :-)
But I still check in every morning when I get to work to make sure everyone's behaving themselves .

Friend4u178 is a bit long isn't it , how about "M" for Michael , HC uses it all the time.

Got to spend my morning today at Turner Field, home of the Braves, got the behind the scene tour, I represent one of their vendors, not only a great sale today but some wonderful memories today.

Hey M - Hee, Hee, checking to see if we're behaving ourselves. You know me, I rarely am behaving myself. I've had a very sarcastic day today, if you've seen any of my posts you know it's true. I am getting better though, I actually deleted 5 posts today before sending them because I knew that the poo would hit the fan.

Anyway, I'll check back later M, oh and Good Morning to you. I'v got to get the Rug Rats ready for beddie bye and then I'll check in to see what I missed.

Toodles,

Alty (otherwise known as lucky Bunny)

Lol... I enjoy reading yours and everyone else's naughtiness , breaks the day up :-)

Hey M - did you notice that the colors on our signatures are almost exact, except for the last line, but I can understand why you didn't go for the pink.

Is your avatar your dog or just a picture you found on the net? He's a beauty, I have two dogs of my own, both mixes. Indy is my 13 year old Lab cross, and Jasper is my 7 year old Border Collie cross.

No I didn't notice that actually.

Yeah he's a good looking Lab isn't he , I wish I could say he were mine but I got him off the net , have thought about changing Avatars every now and then but sort of hooked on him.

I feel the same way about mine. Although I do have three bunnies to choose from, he's the only one that photographs well. The other two always get the red eye and end up looking like little demon bunnies.

OOPS

We're not talking about Coffee , HC might get cranky :-)

Nah, she won't mind. But if it makes you feel better. I had one and a half pots of coffee today, my head is still buzzing but I can finally blink again.

No I'm sure she'll be fine ( right HC ) Well I'm just having my lunch at the moment with a plain and simple instant coffee , 2 sugars and Milk.

I've just finished cleaning up the dinner dishes and filling the coffee pot for tomorrow morning. This time I remembered to set the timer so I should be a much more pleasant person tomorrow.

I think I'm going to indulge and pick up an Iced Cap at timmies tomorrow when I pick up my daughter from kindergarten. It was 5 degrees celsius today and it's supposed to be warmer tomorrow. Almost shorts and T-Shirt weather, maybe I should start working out and get the old gams back into shape.

Should I even bother, no one pays attention to a 37 year old mother of two's gam's.

Mmmm... I know decaf is evil, but it still TASTES good in the evening.

Ok... Gams??

M - Gams are legs, just another euphemism.

Hey Synnen, how's the decaf? I'm indulging and having a beer. Bad mommy. It's okay, the kids are both in bed sound asleep and I promise to only drink one. It's just been a beer kind of day.

My favorite show starts in an hour "Criminal Minds" anyone else a fan?

Got to spend my morning today at Turner Field, home of the Braves, got the behind the scene tour, I represent one of thier vendors, not only a great sale today but some wonderful memories today.

Holy crap FrChuck, that is farkin cool... :D I am so excited just thinking about it!
Sorry for the language, but dang, you were cool today! Wonderful memories indeed! Congrats!
Alty and M, I am going to finish my last cup a coffee and watch a movie... "No Country For Old Men" I hope its good! Night!;)

Holy crap FrChuck


In this thread, we like to say...

Holy frap crchuck!

... wait...

I needed that giggle before hitting the sack. I'm snuggling down with my favorite book, "Swan Song" by Robert McCammon. Great book, if you haven't read it you should.
Nighty night everyone. Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite. Don't forget to set the timers on your coffee pots, trust me, it's not good.

Yawn. Wow.. Good morning to you all. Nothings like that first cup of coffee to start the day off right. So any news people?

'ello friends!

The sun is shimmery in Nashville this morning, I've got a cup of STRONG coffee, and I'm sufficiently recovered from my meeting yesterday... wow... Grrr... wait, not thinking of that...

:D

Awww... I missed M! That stinker is never on but when I'm off.

... @ work.

... another day... another 6 hour assay.

Do I have my morning coffee? Fraid not... why? My student assistant is coming in late.. . she has my coffee.

Wow... Sneezy - I'm sorry. That's tragic! No coffee? I feel for you!

I'm on my second cup already, and when I say cup I'm talking a 30 ounce mug. Mmmm, love my heaven in a mug.

I stayed up way to late reading "Swan Song" I really love that book. I've read it a few times already, but I never get tired of reading it again.

I finally ventured into the "Art" section of this site, there are many wonderful artists on AMHD, they are truly an inspiration.

I haven't told you all, but I'm a painter as well as a wood worker, not by trade, it's my passion. My father and I always painted together, since he died I haven't picked up a brush. Now that I posted a few times with the "Art" crowd, I think I'm going to start painting again, I'm actually feeling really excited about it for the first time in 7 years.

Sorry, tangent, I just wanted to share with all of you. For some reason I feel really great this morning, and I just have to share that with my Buds at the coffee shop.

You're an artist? Very cool! Definitely start painting again!

Wish I could paint. My Mother is an amazing artist, as is my Grandfather, sadly I didn't get that gene. I love photography, but can't paint a lick.

Mornin' all, coffee in hand, taking kids to school...
Up and out early is not in my vocabulary, but I have my coffee to help me through.
That is great news Alty, really glad you are inspired!
HChicky, you are wearing comfy shoes? LOL
See you all later!

Lol... My shoes are always comfy - whether they are stilettos or tennies! :)

I love my pink heels ;) Pink wool plaidy skirt, pink blouse, pink stilettos, and a pink travel coffee mug. I'm PINK today! And loving it!

Thanks HChicky, I'm definitely going to start painting again, I miss it. It's just been so hard to pick up that paint brush since my father died. I actually went through my storage area and got out my paint supplies. I'll have to replace some of the paint (after 7 years some of it is no good anymore) but after that I'm ready to go.

Do you all want to see one of the tables I made? I feel a bit nervous posting a picture of my work, but I trust all of you and I know that you will be honest about your thoughts. If you want to see some pic's I'll get up the nerve to post some.

3rd cup of coffee and still counting.

Yes, yes, yes!! Definitely! I'd love to see them!

Okay, I tried posting some pic's but I'm having a bit of trouble. I've got to go pick up my sweetie from school right now, so I'll try to fiddle with it again later.

Keep drinking coffee, I'll be back later. I've got some shopping to do after picking up the kid, then we're going to McDonalds for lunch.

Bye for now Coffee Buds

Alty

Ciao, bella! Talk to you later! :)

Lol... My shoes are always comfy - whether they are stilettos or tennies! :)

I love my pink heels ;) Pink wool plaidy skirt, pink blouse, pink stilettos, and a pink travel coffee mug. I'm PINK today! And loving it!


PINK?? YES!! Love it too, thanks for sharing!
Alty, I would love to see some stuff you have done, that is so exciting!

Good lord. My student came in an hour late.

... woke up at 720am. Coffee in hand at 1005am.

That is longer than any coffee addict should have to wait for coffee... wow... Sneezy, you're my hero. ;)

ISF... that could be devastating. Are you going to be all right or do you just need a shot of espresso to catch up??

The lady I babysit for brought me a almond latte... pretty gooooooood, plus I wasn't expecting the nice gesture... :)

Today and tomorrow are my days off this week.

I'm waiting on my coffee still... but I just got up, so it's all good

I just had a horrible thought...

What would happen if the world ran out of coffee beans? If the trees stopped producing... the Juan Valdez's of the world stopped "Juan-ing"... if the beans stopped roasting...

What if the roasters went on strike like the writers??

Wow...

Well.

... imagine a world when you wake up in the morning, and you don't have coffee (NOT unlike my situation this morning)...

... how did you feel? Would you have REALLY flipped off that guy on the road if you had coffee? Would you have pushed that woman on the train if you had your coffee? Would you have spit on your co-worker in the cubicle next to you if you had your coffee?

... probably not.

Now... imagine that... exponentially increased. MILLIONS of people... like that.

Social chaos... at its best. Or worst.

That would be evil... awful... chaos... wow...

Not right at all.

Its almost 2 PM for me... about time for an espresso to get me through the afternoon! :)

Awww... I missed M! That stinker is never on but when I'm off.

These time zones are a bugger for me HC... I get to miss most of you while I'm sleeping. You really need to get that connection for home :-)

Ok so 9.30 Friday morning here and on my 2nd coffee , normally as you know I'm happy with my instant but have splashed out today with a Cappucino to get in the spirit.

WHoa hohohohohohohoho you are FANCY PANTS today... :)

LOL... have to splash out every now and then start :-) I even had a chocolate donut with my 2nd cup , Homer would be so proud of me.

Nice, now I want a donut! LUCKY!

Lemon with powdered sugar please

6859

Here you go start... this should tide you over.:D

Ohhhh, YES!!



(thank you)

Not fair, you guys are playing dirty. Now I want a donut.

I've been busy writing Fr_Chuck a private post about a private post that I received. It was very disturbing. Someone who just joined this site yesterday claims to have seen my profile on another site (I don't have a profile on another site) and is interested in getting to know me. HEKKOo, married mother of two here, might I add happily married. Anyway, this person has yet to post anything on this site, but her private message file is full. I'm not sending anything to her personal email address, I don't want her having mine in return.

Am I overreacting? It just creeped me out, and usually my gut isn't wrong.

Advice from my friends would be helpful.

My Pleasure :-)

Heading off to a silly meeting , ah well at least it's Friday.

6860 Well I can't not give you one too alty so here you go , nice for a bit of coffee dunking :-)

Thanks for the donut Friend.

What do you think about the rest of my post? I really need some advice on this.

Forward the thing to him and he will deal with it...
People have said that to me a few times, no worries sweet. Don't you fret!
NOW eat yer donut and sit down... :)
You are a sweet heart Friend...

Yep I agree with start , let the Mods take care of it , I get silly one's as well sometimes and just delete them.

Now like start said eat your donut :-)

It has been dealt with, thank goodness. Thanks for the reassurance friends.

I'm licking the screen as we speak, needs more sugar.

Did I scare all my friends away? Were are my buds.

Friend4U - I finished my computer donut and now I want the real thing, somehow the other just wasn't satisfying.

I'm off to get the kids to bed, I'll talk to you all tomorrow, Survivor is on tonight, time to see who gets kicked off the island.

Take care all.

Alty

Just got out of a meeting Alty , ah the pitfalls of work :-)

Goodnight !

Well, we all know the tragedy that took place with my coffee this morn.. . I'm seriously considering just firing this student. Actually, I don't have that power... but I DO have the power to just give her to someone else in the lab.

The lack of coffee... made me take a nap after my run... around 6pm today.

I was supposed to nap until 7pm... go to sbucks around 730pm to do some work.

... I woke up at 1000pm.

... now I got to go to dunkin donuts.

ISF, you are making it sound like going to Dunkin Donuts is soooo bad. Hahahaha
I saw that they have the most expensive coffee at Safeway, our grocery store, a pound of their coffee goes for a little over 10 bucks and my yummy kind... goes for about 7 or 8 depending on if it is on sale. That was really funny to me...
I say you give the girl another shot... she may surprise you!
Good night!

Ah, I guess I put down DD a bit too much in my prev post.

Well, I live in the city... and about 2 minutes from my college campus...

... so let's just say that DD doesn't live up to MY standards. Haha.

Just kidding. It's just really not the best/cleanest DD I've ever been to.

Personally I'm a timmies kind of girl. Nothing like a powdered jelly filled donut to make me smile.

Sneezy, I'm so sorry your day went badly. I'm sending you some happiness with my mind. Oh crap, mind on the fritz. I really need to go to bed.

Mmmm... I changed the sheets today, and my husband already has the bed all warmed up. Time to set up the coffee for tomorrow, take a shower, and crawl in with him.

PS--tomorrow's coffee is Packer Perc!

Morning boys and girls.

Off to work.

I will no longer entrust my morning beverage to my student assistant. I will go get my own.

Good Morning all. More house cleaning for me today, I have company coming over this weekend. Tomorrow my friend and I are going to the "Creative Stiches" show. I'm looking forward to getting out of the house for a while.

Going to go refresh my cup. Keep the coffee coming.

Good day coffee friends. How's every ones coffee today? Any new thoughts? Anyway cheers to you all and lets start the news off right today. Hmmmm

Hi Scotty - My kids are at school and I have the house to myself. The worst thing that's happened so far today is that I think one of my bunnies tooted. It's pretty stinky right now. :p

On a bright note, my coffee was brewed and ready when I got up this morning, so all is good so far. Admin is taking care of my secret admirer so I feel better about that as well.

How's your day going so far?

Lol you have dogs and bunnies. Wow. Sounds like a zoo.. My day is going good. The snow is not stoping. Well have no fear, coffee is near. Hmmm thanks for asking

Scotty,

3 Bunnies (and another coming next month)
2 dogs
1 bird
1 fish

I'm thinking about charging admission when people come to visit.:p

The snow is falling? I think we're going to get snow today too. Bums me out, I can actually see my lawn right now and the tulips have started to pop up. Be gone snow!

Where is everyone? I'm all alone again. I have my coffee to keep me warm but I miss my buds. HChicky, Scotty, Sneezy, Synnen, Starty and the rest where are you?

Okay, just noticed, we have allot of S's you all.

Patiently waiting for my coffee drinking pals. Sigh.

I'm waiting on my coffee.

I JUST woke up.

Give me a minute, woman!

I'm here. @ work. Coffee. Rat brains.

Sorry Synnen, take as long as you want, I'll be here.

Sneezy - Rat Brains? Need more info, or maybe I don't need more info. I'm not sure.

Haha, sorry. I work in research. Rats. Brains.

*sorry to those who are against animal research... but hey, you ever take any sort of medication? Who do you think tried them out first? That's right.*

Rats and brains or rats brains? :p

I'm not one to judge, I know that animal research is sometimes a necessary evil, and I do take med's for my thyroid etc. so I guess I can't be to judgemental.

I don't believe in testing cosmetics on animals though, I really don't need lipstick that badly.

How's the coffee this morning sneezy? Did you go to Starbucks?:)

Morning, friends! Can I just tell you I love you guys!?

Packer Perk, Synn, you're a meany... I had to deal with gas station coffee this morning. Course, that was the fifth cup, I got my pot o' gourmet in first, but still...

ITS FRIDAY!

Cosmetics... yeah, that's... an iffy subject.

I test antidepressants + bipolar medication.

And drugs that help wean off drugs (cocaine, heroin, etc)

Starbucks was SO packed this morning (darn you hospital employees) that I had to go to caribou coffee. And you know what, I don't regret a thing.

Oh, HC... altenweg wants you and me to get together.

... ::shrugs::?

LOL! Yes, I just saw that...

::Answering shrug::

Ever heard that song by Landon Pigg? About the Coffee shop? Not sure of the title, but its an adorable song.

Oh, Oh, I've been caught.:o

Sorry guys, I just thought that the two of you would really hit it off. I can't say it enough, you are both such wonderful people, who knows what could happen?

Enough said, I've made the suggestion, it's out there, now it's up to you two.;)

I hope you're not mad at me.:(

Alty, how could I be mad at you? The bunny avatar makes you mad-proof ;)

I was singing "matchmaker, matchmaker" the other day (thanks to Synn) and I just got it out of my head!

Crud...

I... don't really know the song. (result of not really having a childhood I guess)

Thanks alty for saying those wonderful things about me... and HC's right... the bunny thing... REALLY can't get mad at you.

Oops, I'm filling people's heads with all kinds of stuff this morning.:)

I'm glad you're not mad, the idea of you and Sneezy has been in my head for a while now, like I said, just a thought.

I was actually thinking of changing my avatar, maybe I should keep it, it is hard to get mad at the bunny isn't it?:)

I'm enjoying this - got my coffee and its Friday - what more could I ask for! ;)

Hey now, Alt---stop messing with MY matchmaker plans, dang it!

I've got to wander off to the store and get the stuff for dinner tonight (company, lasagna, salad, wine, mmmmm).

You behave

I'm searching for my new bunny. I had one picked out at the Edmonton Humane Society, she was an 8 year old in desperate need of a home, sadly she's not there anymore. I don't know if she was adopted or put to sleep:(. I'm now looking at the other older bunnies, yikes, 4 bunnies in my house. Oh well, what's one more when you already have three?

By the way, my avatars name is Cotton, he's the baby of the family.

Time to re-fill my cup for the fourth time and then I've got to pick up princess at her school.

Talk to you all later. Don't gossip about me while I'm gone.;)

Bunnies. mm...

I had two hamsters. Then I went to college and came back a month later and my mom told me they ran away.. . the crazy thing is, they took the cage and everything with them!

LOL! Mental picture on that one is just too sweet... or, is that scary... not quite sure...

Poor bunnies!

Hey now, Alt---stop messing with MY matchmaker plans, dang it!

I've got to wander off to the store and get the stuff for dinner tonight (company, lasagna, salad, wine, mmmmm).

Ya'll behave

LOL! Too funny, Synn. You girls are da bomb ;)

Synnen - I'm just giving our girl some options.:)

Sneezy - Bunnies are better than hamsters, trust me. Would you like me to adopt one for you? I'll pick the sweetest one. They're great pets if you know what to expect from them and know how to handle them. My three are all sweeties, love them to pieces.

There are tons of bunnies relinquished to the pound every day, people buy them because they're cute and then they grow up and can become a hassle if not properly cared for. It breaks my heart to see so many of them in small cages at the pound not getting the love that they deserve. Restrictions prevent me from having more than two dogs, but with bunnies the skies the limit. I've got room for one more in my home, but I have allot more room in my heart for these wonderful animals.

There I go again, being all smooshie. Sorry.

Time for another cup of Java.

Glad you're back, Alty!

I've been inhaling the coffee today... SOooooo glad its Friday!

Yay Friday, the best day of the week.

I'm still doing the house cleanup, not done yet, but other than that it's been a pretty great day, so far.

The cup I'm enjoying right now will be my last of the day, I need to get to bed early so that I can get an early start tomorrow. It's going to be a busy weekend.

Slept in! 9:30 is laaaate! Long enough for me to know not to get out of bed before screaming these words... "You guys better put away everything you got out this morning I am getting outta bed in ten minutes!!!" LMAO
The trouble they find... Coffee, yes, hope your Friday is treating you well!

My weekend will be blissfully nothing. I'm seriously looking forward to it.

Hi Starty - I know how you feel, my kids are constantly making a mess. You know that if they are playing quietly that they're up to no good. My daughter (5) made herself a jam sandwich yesterday (without telling me), it's really hard to get strawberry jam out of dog fur, especially when it's still attached to the dog. He's not so happy with me right now, poor puppy.

HChicky - Why don't you take a little trip to Atlanta?;) Okay, seriously I'll stop now.:)

Another 100 lashes for Alty.:(

Another 100 lashes for Alty.:(

LOL! Wow... Alty, Alty... you're just too sweet, but didn't you read about the exploding chemistry projects, singed eyebrows, and brain matter on the other thread?

Coffeeshop/singles bar... interesting mix... shall we add some disco music and a dance floor? ;)


(Love you, Alty)

AWWWW, NO lashes, you are good... all good
Have you ever had a kid try and boil an egg in the microwave? I have, and let me tell you the laughter from it almost killed us all!

Oh no! Boil an egg in the microwave?

Reminds me of high school... blowing up twinkies and ho-hos (still in the wrapper) in the cafeteria...

Yes I read about the eyebrows etc, I laughed for 15 solid minutes. My gut hurts.:p

As for the single's bar/coffeeshop, not a bad idea. Synnen and I can provide the singles and the rest of you can just show up and mingle, oops sorry Starty, you can chaperone.:)

I'll get the disco ball and the music (no disco music, the ball is enough) Hey Synnen, can you provide the dance floor? Starty you might want to get a taser, just in case things get out of hand.;)

Eeeek, I just looked out my window. It's SNOWING!! :mad:

There goes my happy Friday.:(

I would love to have a taser in my hand! THAT IS ALL I CAN THINK OF NOW! Lol


Ptzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Tasers...

Set Phasers on Stun...

Sorry - inner geek :)

You two make me giggle. Tee Hee.

I'm willing to set up the singles bar/coffee shop in my basement family room. Do you mind if a few bunnies are present? They're all great dancers.

Oh, my parents Urn is also down here, I hope that's okay, they loved dancing.

Hop on a plane and come on down, forget that I said it's snowing, even though it is. YUCK!

Down?? Up, sweet Alty, up. :)

I'm considering! ;) I love bunnies.

Geography was never my strong point. Sorry.:o

When you say you love bunnies, is it, I love to hug and snuggle bunnies? Or, Mmmm, can you pass the salt please?;)

I went away... for... mmm I don't know... 3 hours? And this is what happened.

Yay it's Friday!. cept... I work... everyday. So yeah.

It's raining here. Quite muggy + humid. I would def go to the singles bar... cept my dog would get QUITE mad at me for leaving for such a long time. If I'm not home by 10pm sharp, my dog goes haywire.

I just loved Canada whenI drove through when we left Alaska...
HC, I thought about how you didn't have Alaska on yer places you have been list! You should go in the middle of summer and take it all in with your camera of course!
Alty, I wish I could take that trip, would be something GRAND!

Yup, look what happened... Alty went back to work on the whole HC/Sneezy thing and I've been influenced to change my sweet coffeeshop into a disco...

But hey, bring on the disco ball! I love sparkles!

ALTY - LOL!! No, not pass the salt love... fuzzy, furry love for bunnies.

I'm going to go run a smear stain. Be good.

Oh, and to appease alty

HC: how YOU doing?

Sneezy- Bring your dog, he can play with my two dogs, and the bunnies if he promises to behave. The more the merrier, I've got plenty of room.

Maybe we should do this in the summer, that gives you all time to plan the trip, and then we can make it a Barbecue. Coffee, burgers and friends. Is there a downside to this?

Just fine sugar... I'm fiiiiiine... ;)

(Happy Alty?)

Alaska is on my to do list. Always wanted to go!

I'm liking the BBQ idea more and more - the more I sit at this computer, researching useless historical facts, the better it sounds!

My work here is done. Off to clean the downstairs bathroom UGH!

I'll try to check back in a few hours. If I miss you HCHicky, have a great weekend.

Hopefully I'll talk to all of you later. Take care and don't singe any eyebrows while I'm gone.

Alty.

Tornado slams downtown Atlanta - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/14/storm.atlanta/index.html)

... so yeah. Burning the midnight oil... working... working... working...

Rain. Thunder... gust of wind... another gust of wind... then the windows start banging...

... kinda ridiculous. Kind of... ridiculous.

Can I hold the Phaser (taser) one more time? Ptzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

I just want to say that even though I had the last couple days off---working the weekend sucks.

...kinda ridiculous. kinda...ridiculous.

Wow! You all right? Safe? That's some serious weather!

Synn - So sorry you have to work the weekend... Keep the coffee hot and frequent! :)

Starty - Of course... yours is the pink one. Special phaser, just for you! ;)

No coffee here today, either, other than what I brought with this morning :(

Weekends are pretty boring, and it doesn't help that all my friends are off doing fun things rather than keeping me company, either :(

Oh well... half donewith my day, and the hubby's gone tonight, so I can indulge in a bubble bath and a chick flick.

Sounds like a perfect night! It'll be here sooner than you know it.

I'm hanging curtains today... I've had enough of my naked windows...

Y'all have a splendiferous day!

Sounds fun!

(wish I were cleaning or something)

I can indulge in a bubble bath and a chick flick.

Me too!! Wait... wait... wait...


I'm hanging curtains today... I've had enough of my naked windows...

I TOTALLY misread that and read something along the lines of you being naked in front of your windows... and I thought, "Alty...you really know how to pick them..."

Coffee's for losers...

coffee's for losers...

Nooooooo, it isn't. Noooooo:mad:

coffee's for losers...

See, I think you have this backwards...

Look at all of the workaholics... coffee drinkers! Because we need it to stay functional while we are overloading ourselves with work. Unlike the real losers... non-coffee drinkers...

Just an opinion here, lol... but I think it leans more towards fact, hahaha

Oh, I'm only kidding... I <3 starbucks

Oh, im only kidding... i <3 starbucks


No worries... me too... in a serious way, lol. Don't be hating on the coffee, heeheehee

I TOTALLY misread that and read something along the lines of you being naked in front of your windows...and I thought, "Alty...you really know how to pick them..."

*gasp*... wow... LOL!

Still laughing...

Naked windows, Sneezy, windows. :D

It seems you guys don't need me to connect. Naked windows, Hee, Hee,Hee.

I like the way your mind works Sneezy.
