CONGRATS N!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here, a little something to remind you of home, a NYC pizza!

[urstwile]

Thanks! I love this place!

[urstwile]

Is that pizza from John's on Bleecker? Doesn't look like it, but yummmm......pizza, I should have put that on my three foods/beverages list.

[morea]

sound on!

CLICK! (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/kittycatdance.html) ;)

[urstwile]

Morea, that just doesn't get old. :D

[morea]

ain't it great? :D

[balou]

And we like all the fluffy animals! And we like urstwile and the moon!

Congrats urstwile!

I learn something (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirigibles) whenever you post!

[urstwile]

Yay, thanks Balou! Ain't Wikipedia grand? Got it as a widget, I admit it! :o

[balou]

Oh, I can see that rathergood.com site will be hours of entertainment! bookmark!

[urstwile]

Yup, I go there when I'm feeling the need for some absurdity. :)

[JPnyc]

No, that's too far south of me, I'm afraid. It's from one of the Rays here on the west side.

[reuber1]

Congratulations!

[urstwile]

No, that's too far south of me, I'm afraid. It's from one of the Rays here on the west side.

Most of the time, pizza = good, so no worries my friend. Thanks for the slices!

Maybe when I'm in New York visiting next week, I can drag you down to John's though. It's well worth the trip.

Thanks for the congratulations, Reuber. This place is like my second home right now. :D

[JPnyc]

I think we're gonna try and meet up with you and your clan while you're here in NYC.

[JPnyc]

We being Morea, Neuro, and Myself

[urstwile]

I think we're gonna try and meet up with you and your clan...

For some disturbing reason, the theme from Dueling Banjos comes to mind at the mention of the word clan. :D

But yeah, a meetup sounds like fun. I'm looking forward to it.

[JPnyc]

I've never even met Ned Beatty in my LIFE I SWEAR!!!!!! Yeah it should be fun. You can reminisce about your old haunts, but I have to warn you, Coyote Kate's is gone :(

[urstwile]

Never went there actually. I'd be sad if John's Pizza ever went away, just like I was sad when I found out that Mrs. Stahl's Knishes in Brooklyn...gone. :(

[JPnyc]

The 2nd av. DELI IS CLOSED! That's a crime against the whole east coast, as far as I'm concerned.

[urstwile]

No frickin' way!!!!!!

It saddens me every time I come back to visit how many great places are going down to development, etc. I can't count how many places I've gone back to visit each trip back and...gone. Gippity, gippity gone. From one year to the next. It sucks.

Still looking forward to the trip though, and meeting you guys will be bonus.

[urstwile]

>>>noting JP's nightowl status. I thought I was bad!

[rickself]

Good Gawd, urstwile, you just don't stop!

I get off work at 6, come home, mow the lawn, grill up some burgers on my new, shiny 2005 Char-Broil (!), sit down for some Ghost Hunters, and wham-bam, you pass 500. :eek:

Congrats!!! Pacific Coasters show their stuff!

And JP, I like the little bistro table that came with yer pizza! I assume the mouse with the reservation didn't show? :p

[balou]

It's a table for Ricks elf! lol!

Hey urstwile, drop a line when flying over Wisconsin, I'll tag along! ;)

[rickself]

^ ^ Now I KNOW it's time for bed!

[urstwile]

LOL, Rick. Yeah, I'm a fairly new addict, I guess, and thus can't seem to get enough of this place. Plus I type rapidly. :)

And some nights I just have a bigger stretch of time than others. You'll miss me when I'm not posting while I'm on vacation end of next week. Maybe I'm making up for lost future time. :D

Balou, let me know when's a good time to scoop you up as I fly over. :D

[balou]

*sighs a little jealous sigh* If only. I need a vacation!

[urstwile]

I SO need this vacation, just me by myself without my fear-of-flying, doesn't like walking all-over-creation husband. He got his trip going to see the Steelers win the Super Bowl, so MY TURN! Woot!

[balou]

Sounds like you're going to have a great time. We want pictures!

[JPnyc]

I'm not always this much of a nightowl. When you see me up this late it means I had italian or mexican for dinner (reflux!!! yeow!)

[balou]

Ouch. :( So which was it tonight?

[urstwile]

To Balou: pictures there will be, although I'm going to have to borrow a digital, just still on old school film here at home until we can afford to get a digicam.

JP: Yeah, the reflux thing sucks. Stack yourself up on a lot of pillows...that always helps me. >>>passing over a pepto-bismol tablet

[JPnyc]

Actually tonight it was Szechuan LOL :D

[JPnyc]

I tried pillows stacked until my neck looks like Phyllis Diller's. And the worst part is, it doesn't hit until im well on my way to falling asleep, then it wakes me right up. It's awful. And I take prilosec already. It's definitely worse since this job too LOL ;)

[urstwile]

Oooh, Szechuan, I miss that, not too much of that here in SD. Mostly Hunan and Mandarin style. I miss it. (note to self :rolleyes: )

[urstwile]

I do know that feeling, it is sucky suck big time. Pillows usually help me, but you still have to wrassle with it for a bit. Gets worse as you get older, sorry to say. :(

[Neballer]

goodness.
40 posts between 9:30 and 1 in the same thread, that's got to be some sort of record.

[Vikia]

Congratulations!!!!!!

We like the moon tooooooooo!

[reuber1]

How TF do you people stay rested? I get the usual 8 hours by going to bed at 10:30 and waking up at 6:30, and sometimes that isn't enough.

[reuber1]

Whoops. I posted. That means another post in approx 9 hours.

[JPnyc]

I'm not rested Reubs. I exist in a constant state of exhaustion. Keeps me outta trouble.

[reuber1]

Almost like a zombie? Not the 2004 Dawn of the Dead ones, who sprint everywhere, I mean the hobbling regular zombies.

[JPnyc]

Very much like that. I can't get in trouble because I'm too tired to do anything. Hey it must be working, I've yet to spend a second in jail

[balou]

Aw JP, house arrest is almost the same thing. ;)

[JPnyc]

Agreed, that's why I stayed single.

[rickself]

I get up around 5, eat breakfast, shower and shave, catch up on the news and most of the time I'm at work by 7. Take an Igloo with me consisting of an orange or apple, a Costco muffin, big glass of water and a 24oz pop. I work straight thru to usually 6, come home, do any honey-do's that Darci has for me, eat dinner and usually start noddin off around 9. I get about 6 hours of sleep a night. Weekends have to be gogogo because she sits inside most of the time and wants the weekend with me anywhee but in the house. So it's really a schedule I don't like and I don't want to have a early heart attack (!), but it's what I have to do now.

[reuber1]

6 hours? I don't understand how you people do it. I have to have 8. I don't know, maybe I go just a little nuts during my workouts, but by the end of the day, I'm usually out the second I hit the bed.

[JPnyc]

Man if I HAD to have 8, I'd be dead at least 15 yrs. by now. I NEVER get 8. I think last night I got maybe 4 and a half

[rickself]

Well, I'm outta here. Thunder and lightning moving in and it's only 7! I swear, there's been more nasty weather in these parts this spring than I've seen in 40 years!

Good thread urstwile. You should have 600 by the time this closes.

[TheBluePanda]

I wake up at 7:30am, and get to sleep between 11:00-11:30. I usually get about 8 hours of sleep, but I'm still tired during the day. I should prolly start drinking coffee like the rest of the world, but I can't stand the taste. I miss the days when I worked at home, went to bed at 2am, woke up whenever the hell I wanted.

[morea]

my doctor said mylanta.

It works for me. Be sure to get the Extra Strength Night Time version. ;)

[Kool]

Happy 500 urstwhile! http://home.comcast.net/~rnick9/koolsmiley.gif

[urstwile]

Hmm, about the only time I get 8 hours is on the weekend, usually I average about 6-1/2 to 7 during the week, sometimes less. I'm a confirmed night owl working the day shift. Sucks, but I don't like working at night, so I'm screwed in the 8 hours a night department. 12:30 to 1:00 in the morning to bed is my average.

Thanks for coming to my post party everyone! Dang, I was so busy today at work I couldn't even finish off my own party!

[JPnyc]

We understand, but unfortunately we have to dock you anyway.

[urstwile]

but, but, but :eek:

Oh all right. I see the forum's been busy reinventing itself while I was doing silly work stuff.

[balou]

Do you like it urstwile? The reorg.

[urstwile]

I do actually. The categorization thing is cool. Do you?

[JPnyc]

Well I hope everyone likes it 'cause I ain't undoing it. I don't even remember how it was anymore :D

[urstwile]

Funny, neither do I! No but seriously, I really like it, it's very organized. Has there been negative feedback?

[JPnyc]

Nah, not yet. In fact, not much feedback at all, for or against. I don't think users care that much how a forum is organized. I mean no matter how you stacked em, there aren't THAT many forums here that you couldn't learn where they were and remember em.

[morea]

we try to be proactive. :D

[rickself]

reorganization? I hadn't noticed, probably because the only thing I do when I log on is hit "New Posts". Ya mean, there's MORE?? :eek:

[JPnyc]

Yep, there's posts past their expiration date as well.

[urstwile]

The new posts thing sometimes confuses me. I'll click it, read a few new posts, click back to it, and all of a sudden, even the ones I hadn't read yet are gone, and only one or two remain. So I tend to click on every thread and view the dates.

[morea]

urstwile - girl, you are after my own heart. 500th post today, and 550 tonight.
Power Posters unite! ;)

[urstwile]

LOL, although I think about half of those last night before I went to bed. :rolleyes: Truly addicted here!
