Hi everybody...

[TOhioLiberal]

...after an unfortunate billing issue with my ISP which had me offline since Saturday afternoon, I have made my non-triumphal return to my home away from home, the DU lounge.

So how is everyone this evening?

[Kajsa]

12. Welcome back, TOhioLiberal.

I'm doing OK-

How are you?

It's good to see ya back here.

Oh,oh- KitchenWitch is in Minnesota
for the week.

Skinner posted an opinion thread that
got everyone's attention.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x6395934

Let's see- Elrond says he's difficult.
Southpaw is cute as can be,
And Kagehime has this weird little furry creature in her sig. line.
I like the furry creature.-he reminds me of someone( not sure who, right now) LOL!

The others will get ya up to speed.

:hi:

[TOhioLiberal]

15. Hi Kajsa!

Is Kitchy posting from Minnesota?

I've been reading Skinner's tread. It's really long. I hope he's not closing the lounge!

Elrond always says he's difficult.
Southpaw is very cute.
That creature in Kagehime's sig is weird...
He/she/it reminds me of Grover from Sesame Street.

Thanks for the update. Now where's all the drama? :rofl: :hi:

[Kajsa]

43. I wish I knew!

You let me know if you find some, OK?

:rofl:

Oh yes, Kitchy is offline so far this week.
I don't know if she's going to have a chance to post from MN.

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

16. Hi ya!

:hi:






:hug:

[TOhioLiberal]

18. Hi Lizzie...

...how's the arm?

[lizziegrace]

21. Which one?

;)

The fractured one is about 95% but I still can't lift a lot. The one with tendonitis feels as though it may never heal, but it *is* getting better - just not as fast as I'd like.

How ya doing?

[TOhioLiberal]

23. I'm Okay...

...still under stress here at home...but I have internet access again, and the DU lounge lizards are my support group.

[lizziegrace]

24. Yay!!

I'm glad we're good for something good.

:hug:

[Guava Jelly]

17. Nice to see you back.

:hi:
I am good actually.
I heard from an old friend,I heard from an older friend,I was honest with someone about something i was afraid to tell them.
And I got some great advice from someone i love :)
:hug: I have had worse tuesdays.

[TOhioLiberal]

19. Glad you are doing good...

...I missed everybody. :hi:

[bigwillq]

20. Hello!

:hi:

Good to have you back!

[TOhioLiberal]

28. Glad to be back...

...How's things going with you?

[bigwillq]

29. Working like crazy

these phones won't stop ringing. :mad:

[Redstone]

22. Yo.

Redstone

[TOhioLiberal]

30. Yo back...

...How are you doing?

[Redstone]

44. Not bad, thanks for asking. I put in SIX HOURS in the office today, and I'm all proud

of myself. Damn, it would be good if this turned out to be a trend...I used to eat 14-hour workdays for breakfast, and it's frustrating not to be able to get even half of that done anymore.

[mentalsolstice]

26. Glad you're back!

:hi:

[TOhioLiberal]

31. Hi mentalsolstice...

...I had no Idea that people would actually miss me. I figured people would say, 'you were gone?'

[BarenakedLady]

27. I'm sitting on my Daddy's computer

Why do I revert back to about age 13 whenever I visit my parents? I'm the mother of three children and I still feel like a child here.

:crazy:

I'm gonna wait until they go to bed and sneak some beer!

[Guava Jelly]

32. Hey little girl

:evilgrin:
:hi: bnl :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

34. My Daddy warned me about guys like you

and not to talk to them on the Internets...

a/s/l? r u cute? do u have a gf?

;)

[Guava Jelly]

35. depends

:evilgrin:
:rofl:

[TOhioLiberal]

33. You feel like a child...

...because of all the people in the world, your parents have seen you at your most vulnerable.

[BarenakedLady]

36. Too true

They could disclose my deepest darkest secrets...

That's it! They must be silenced! be right back...

:hi:

[TOhioLiberal]

39. I have a story that my mom used to tell...

...at all the major family functions...

According to my mother:
when I was 5 years old, my dad was grilling some hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill in our backyard. I had apparently found an earthworm and tried to give it to my dad to put on the grill. I told him (according to legend :eyes: ) that it would be 'scrumptious'. :rofl:

There are 2 reasons I think the story is Bovine excrement: 1. Scrumptious? from a 5 year old? 2. I loathe worms.

[VenusRising]

37. Welcome back!!

:hi:

Everyone here is doing great.

Glad you got your internet back. I would be lost without mine.

[TOhioLiberal]

40. Did I miss any...

...nifty neato drama? :rofl: I alway miss that shit anyway...

[VenusRising]

45. Don't ask me...

I always miss it, too. Glad you're back though.

[S n o w b a l l]

You've been missed! :) :hi:

[S n o w b a l l]
