I'm working. Honest. Just read and replied to a bunch of emails from the boss and decided I needed to read something positive for a few moments. So here I am!

Glennsallnighter

10-31-2011, 09:43 AM

Definitely positive VA!

Brooke

10-31-2011, 10:54 AM

Yup, I'm at work too, but waiting for some information I need to close out the month on the books.

Not much else to do at the moment!

Koala

Just came home from the birthday of my godchild and now I'm still preparing for the work ( search for tinker stuff)!

Prettymaid

10-31-2011, 02:08 PM

I'm home from work for lunch, which consists of cheese filled crackers, celery with spinich dip, macaroni salad and yogurt.

As far as mulitasking, I'm afraid I don't do the gender proud. I always use the excuse that I never had children! Now mothers, they know how to multitask! :bow:

Fun subject GA!

I'm at school. I'm in programming class and I have free time so... Here I am! :P

Henley Honey

Trying to get ahead of the game with work so I can leave for Vegas on Thursday with a "clean slate". Sometimes being your own boss is not all its cracked up to be!!!

Freypower

Well obviously, you're on the Border. But many of us are also doing something else while we sneak into the Border for a few minutes every now and then, patprticularly with so many mobile devices around now.

And HEY, most of us are women, queens of the multitask!

So I'll start!

I'm waiting for my au pair to come out from a hospital appointment! Ok a bit mundane. Who can improve on it?

You and your mobile devices.... the memory is ingrained in my head. :grin: I don't have anything except my iPod.

I'm just having a cup of coffee before taking Rosalind to school & then I am going into town. I have to start looking for Christmas presents. And that is what I do when I'm on here, just have coffee and switch between the Sydney Morning Herald site, the ABC Australia site, the Guardian, the BBC, the Daily Telegraph, Rolling Stone, sometimes the Mark Knopfler site, because I'm at home. I don't work these days. So I won't be contributing to this topic much. :ack:

ETA: I also play Civilization V. But I obviously don't do that when on The Border. I will resume my game after checking out the above websites.

Great idea for a thread!

Right now I'm looking at specs on an iMac I may buy for Christmas. I need a nice new Server/Workstation and my old iMac is getting to be a bit ancient in technology years. It's half a decade old! (2005). :rofl: The one I'm looking at is a 27 inch - which will replace my current 20 inch iMac. Pretty big jump. I'm going to trick it out of course and max out the memory (RAM) and probably buy a nice backup hard drive and all of that. Ah, a day in the life of a tech geek and Apple fan! :D

Koala

11-01-2011, 12:43 AM

I'm still in bed, very comfortable!
I'am with my ipod on the internet, very good for something!:grin:
Unfortunately I have to get up immediately.

Glennsallnighter

11-01-2011, 06:22 AM

Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm watching 'Art Attack' with the kids. They had an interesting bit on making cardboard musical instruments!

FP for somebody who doesnt 'work' you sound busiest of all of us!

Prettymaid

11-01-2011, 06:31 AM

Hubby's alarm clock just went off, so as he is up and getting ready for work I am doing what I usually do...I have grabbed my laptop and brought it to bed, where I will try to catch up for the next half hour, before having to get up and get ready for work myself.

TimothyBFan

11-01-2011, 08:06 AM

Just shooed 5 kids out the door to get on the school bus, and waiting for the 4 that will be here in a few minutes for the day. Watching the dogs do their morning routine of fighting over the same toy and trying to get my attention while drinking a diet coke and trying to keep 2 cats off of my lap so I can be on here. Such an exciting life I lead of kids and critters!!! :rofl:

sodascouts

11-01-2011, 09:26 AM

About to head off to work. It's going to be a long day - four hours of faculty committee meetings, one of which I chair, and a night class to teach this evening. I won't be coming back home until after 10:00 pm.

Troubadour

11-03-2011, 01:57 PM

I got home about an hour ago. It's the twelve anniversary of my Dad's passing, so my mum, sister and I all went to the cemetery together to put some flowers on his grave. We then drove to a pretty little village nearby and had a pub lunch. I'm just relaxing with a cup of tea now, catching up with The Border for as long as my laptop will stay on! I can't WAIT to get a new one.

Tori

11-09-2011, 11:38 AM

I'm currently at school, taking a break from state testing. It's quite boring, but it's gotta get done.

VAisForEagleLovers

I just got off a conference call with the customer (US Army - HRC Command) where we discussed requirements for over two hours. My head is spinning off my shoulders.

jdubfan

11-09-2011, 12:41 PM

Taking a break from raking leaves from the 200+ deciduous trees in my yard:partytime: in the cold drizzle. Thankfully my mp3 player is loaded with plenty of good music, that helps. Take It Easy....There's mention of the dreaded "s" word in the forecast for tonite :cry: It's Nov, guess it's time. Can't believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

jdubfan inspired me. Just did an hour with the leaf blower. Many many many hours yet to go.

Just had lunch and taking a break from work. Boring stuff.

Annabel

Home from work, getting ready to fix supper.

We lead such exciting lives, don't we? ;)

Watching YouTube demos of effects pedals. Imagine that! :D

Koala

11-11-2011, 01:23 AM

I'm eating my breakfast!

Prettymaid

11-11-2011, 08:15 AM

Lots of eating going on! Eating is one thing I can multitask at. :thumbsup:

Right now I am sitting up in bed with my laptop. Hubby has gone to work and I have the day off because the banks are closed for
Veteran's Day! :nahnah: It's 6:15 a.m. here.

Brooke

11-11-2011, 10:24 AM

Ooh! I get the day off, too and am heading out for some shopping. Groceries and a little bit of fun shopping and maybe a Christmas gift!

Prettymaid

11-11-2011, 10:56 AM

For me??? Oh Brooke, you shouldn't have! :hilarious:

11-11-2011, 11:20 AM

I'm just finishing my weeks work. I'm supposed to be teaching but only 1 student showed up. Another teacher needed to do her reports so I've taken her crew. So its very relaxing - most of the students are surfing the net on their laptops.

Is Veterans Day a Public Holiday in The US? (Excuse my ignorance)

Brooke

11-11-2011, 08:29 PM

Most government offices and banks are closed today for Veteran's Day in the US.

Wildthyme

11-11-2011, 09:12 PM

Trying to decide if I even want to bother making dinner. Its my day off and I have just been puttering about the house and while I haven't eaten I am not really even hungry. Might just have tea and toast, watch a movie and be lazy. :yawn:

Freypower

11-11-2011, 09:16 PM

I have been here all morning (playing Civ as well as surfing the net) & will now go & listen to the iPod before Mike comes home from work with the Saturday paper.

I just finished making 2 dozen hazelnut dark chocolate truffles and packaging them and Im making dark chocolate chunk cookies and oat meal cranberry cookies and Ill package those and take them all with my gourds to the sale tomorrow morning. UGH.. Im kinna exhausted and (i never thought Id say this) sick of chocolate... give me a few hours,.. Im pretty sure I'll bounce back *G*

I'm reinstalling applications on my laptop. I reformatted it last night as it was getting a bit slow so now I have the fun job of putting everything back!

Glennsallnighter

11-12-2011, 07:25 PM

Good Luck with that Austin!

I'm enjoying a few quiet moments on the Border while I watch 'Last Chance Surgery' OMG, its just amazing what some of those docs can do!

Prettymaid

11-15-2011, 01:47 PM

Ooh Willie, that doesn't 'sound' good!

I'm beginning to feel like this is the only thing I post here, but I'm home for lunch, eating some cheese and crackers and a cherry yogurt. This eating thing is a bad habit. :hilarious:

Brooke

11-15-2011, 02:15 PM

Just had lunch and taking a break from work, which is looming! :rolleyes:

Glennsallnighter

11-15-2011, 03:36 PM

Hope you enjoyed your lunches ladies! I'm waiting to watch the Irish football team qualify for the Euro 2012 finals. We beat Estonia 4-0 on Friday night last. It's the return leg now against the same team. Most of the country here feel tonight's match will be merely a formality.

WalshFan88

11-16-2011, 08:29 AM

Can't sleep so I'm reading about pedals online. Imagine that! :hilarious:

TimothyBFan

11-16-2011, 08:40 AM

Trying to stay awake for the day since I've pretty much been up since 1 am. This insomnia thing may be getting out of hand. :brickwall:

Prettymaid

11-16-2011, 09:18 AM

Aw Willie, take care of yourself!

I used to pride myself on what a quality sleeper I was, but ever since.....well, let's just say since I reached a certain point in my life, the quality of sleep I get is not what is used to be. However, mine is nothing compared to yours Willie! I know you don't like to take anything, but have you ever thought about taking something like Ibuprofen P.M. just once in awhile? I worry about you!

Oh, and in keeping with the topic, I am relaxing with a cup of peppermint tea, something Troub turned me on to. I don't have to go to work until 10:00.

sodascouts

11-16-2011, 12:14 PM

I used to struggle with insomnia a lot! I found when it's really bad, tiring myself out physically helps.

Brooke

11-16-2011, 01:21 PM

I agree with that. Go out for a brisk walk or get out the treadmill. Works for me and it's good for ya!

Glennsallnighter

11-16-2011, 03:09 PM

Running around after 2 kids all day helps too! Lol!

TimothyBFan

11-16-2011, 03:28 PM

I had to just laugh at your responses about trying to wear myself out to help. Thanks for the suggestion but I don't believe that's the problem. You see, I've been running a daycare for 16 years now. :hilarious: Trust me, the whole wearing myself out thing is NOT my problem. Every night, I'm pretty well physically and mentally exhausted.

Midnight_Flyer

11-16-2011, 09:34 PM

Trying to decide if I should get my nails done before I go into work. They look SO ugly and chipped up, but I'm afraid that if I get them done now, I'll break them while traveling - wasting my money. Decisions, decisions!

VAisForEagleLovers

11-17-2011, 02:46 PM

I did mine Friday morning before I left and by Saturday night there was a small chip in one. Handling carry-on luggage isn't nail-friendly.

Tori

11-17-2011, 05:23 PM

Just surfing the internet after getting out of school an hour early. (We had a power outage because the construction workers working on our football field hit a power line.)

sodascouts

11-17-2011, 09:20 PM

We had a power outage at one of the Memphis high schools as well but, sadly for students, it came back on before they could go home, lol.

I decided against the manicure, but I'll try to buff my nails up a bit tonight. They really do look terrible.

VAisForEagleLovers

11-17-2011, 09:53 PM

This is weird, the power went out at my house today, twice, and that never happens.

I'm watching my beloved Penguins struggle against Tampa Bay. I might have to ask Captain Morgan to help me get through this...

Koala

11-18-2011, 04:53 AM

Thanks guys!
Unfortunately it is still no better! So I lay still in bed, drinking tea and watching TV ( Hell Freeze Over)!

Well its a ill wind Koala as we say. I'm sorry you're ill, but of course delighted that you are getting a chance to catch up on your Eagles DVDs. Blow Glenn :heart: a kiss for me if you are still watching.

Relax, and hopefully yoou'll feel better soon xxx

Wow! Lucky you. Hopefully none of the construction workers are now glowing in the dark, but how fabulous for you to get out of school an hour early. That was my grade school / middle school / high school dream come true!!

Henley Honey

11-18-2011, 03:46 PM

I did mine Friday morning before I left and by Saturday night there was a small chip in one. Handling carry-on luggage isn't nail-friendly.

I don't think it was the carry on luggage that chipped your nail. I think the chip occurred when you had your hands around the throat of the "helpful" airline person in the lost luggage section of the Vegas airport.

Henley Honey

11-18-2011, 03:51 PM

Thanks guys!
Unfortunately it is still no better! So I lay still in bed, drinking tea and watching TV ( Hell Freeze Over)!

Sorry you don't feel well and I hope you feel better soon, but aren't there just some days when you'd kill to spend the day in bed??
I love being productive and having a goal or two for the day but on some days -- rainy, snowy, gloomy -- give me the remote, some chicken soup and a fluffy pillow. Heaven.

I was trying not to remember that...I'm pretty sure I handled the entire thing with dignity. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

11-19-2011, 04:56 PM

Koala - Hope you feel better fast, although, as others have mentioned, you seem to be making very good use of your time while in the sick bed. :thumbsup:

VAisFEL - have a great time in Pittsburgh at the Seger show. I was thinking about going to his show in Baltimore, but decided against it. Seeing Bob and Jackson Browne live one day are definitely on my "Bucket List".

And PM - Congratulations on your anniversary and hope you and hubby have a wonderful evening to celebrate!

I'm surprised he's not doing DC, maybe he'll add it later? I can say that if you ever get the chance to see him in concert, you should.

Ive always been a dreamer

11-21-2011, 12:22 PM

Yeah - If you hear anything about him playing D.C., I'd love to know about it. I try to check Bob's and Jackson's tour dates occasionally, but, honestly, I'm probably not as diligent about it as I shoud be.

Glennsallnighter

11-21-2011, 03:49 PM

That's great Willie! Hope you all have a lovely time together. I know it won't be the same as other years, so I'm glad Dillon will be home for you.

I'm watching a programme about Irish people who have emigrated over the past few years. One family went to Canada (Toronto) and they are showing the family on a day trip to...... yes, you've guessed it, Niagara Falls! Its just as I remember it, and is making me VERY Glenn :heart: sick!

Trying to psyche myself up for the big Christmas decorating project. It seems like there's always this big rush after Thanksgiving to get the fall decorations put away and the Christmas decorations out. :dizzy:

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Lis! Nothing like a bad sore throat stopping you dead in your tracks from enjoying the holiday season.

I have a couple hours before work. I'm sitting on the couch having a cup of peppermint tea (are you reading this Lou?) ;) and enjoying the Christmas decorations.

Here...I'll take a picture...

Koala

11-29-2011, 09:44 AM

Get better soon, GA!

Looks comfortably, PM. I have a question, it is a stupid one because I can see that you already have a tree but You have already a Christmas tree? Do you put up him always so early? We put up our tree only always on the 23rd December.

Brooke

11-29-2011, 09:55 AM

Feel better soon, Ga. :sad:

Pm, lovely atmosphere there! :thumbsup:

Koala, we put up our Christmas decorations pretty much whenever we feel like it here in the States. Lots of the stores in town have had them up since before Halloween! :roll: I put out tree up Saturday and most of the decorations. Pretty much finished it on Sunday.

Took the day off today. My mom and I are going to Columbia to visit the daughter and help her put up her tree and have lunch out.

Glennsallnighter

11-29-2011, 10:04 AM

I'm at the Doctors now- thanks for the good wishes!

Your decorations look lovely PM!

We tend to put up the decorations and tree around the first of December. It takes most of the day! A few houses have them up already. I imagine most houses will be decorated by the weekend.

Enjoy your day with your Mum and daughter Brooke!

Koala

11-29-2011, 10:15 AM

Ahh, ok! thanks for the quick answers! Our decoration, indoor and outdoor is already done too, we do this always to the first Advent Sunday.Only the tree comes later we usually buy one only 3 - 4 days before Christmas.

Have fun Brooke!

Take your vitamins and get some rest!!

Prettymaid

11-29-2011, 02:58 PM

You have already a Christmas tree? Do you put up him always so early? We put up our tree only always on the 23rd December.

It's not a stupid question - its a good one!

First of all, my tree is artificial. We used to put our tree up around the first weekend of December. This year I caught the spirit early. ;) The tree and decorations always come down on New Years Day, so I want to enjoy them for as long as possible.

Brooke's right. Here in the states every year the stores are earlier and earlier with their Christmas things and music. I went to Walmart just before Halloween (Oct. 31) and they were already playing Christmas music!

This might make for a good thread, if there's not one already. How many of us enjoy the stores starting the holidays earlier each year and how many of us find it sad? I'm only home for lunch right now and have to go back to work soon, but if anyone else wants to start a thread, go for it!

GA, hope you get better! I myself am sick with bronchitis. I went to the doctor last night. I have no voice, so of course, everyone I work with has decided they need to talk to me over the phone.

I haven't been eating much the last few days and earlier I was feeling dizzy. I decided my sugar level was low and determined I needed some sugar. After grabbing a Ginger Ale, I logged on here and went through the GF photo thread! I feel much better now. You should try it.

Hope you are feeling better VA! Indeed I always resort to Glenn :heart: when I'm not well. I'm on my own in the house now - everybody is at work or school. So I'm perusing the border st my leisure and giving a LOT of attention to Mr Frey

(maybe if I close my eyes and wish hard enough he'll show up behind me with a glass of hot whiskey and lemon)

As I said in the new throated, I really don't like Christmas starting as early as September! In Ireland traditionally Christmas goods started to appear in the stores after Hallowe'en, but with more International shops now the Irish stores had to compete with them or lose business. So they are all starting by October now. I ignore it as much as I can.

Right now I'm taking a break from playing guitar. I've been playing all day. Got blista's on my fingers. :lol: I got 2 out of 3 of my incoming pedals today and I've been enjoying them. Going to play again with some members from the old tribute band in the next couple weeks and see if we can't get it going again. I also am going to be playing at a party with some other friends next month.

I guess this should go in the "Life" thread but I'm going to Florida next month (Naples). Can't wait. I'm staying at my grandma/stepgrandpa's place there. Will be good to get me some light and out of the current "down" period I'm in right now. I will definitely have pics for you all - we plan on going to the Beach and of course shopping too.

I am trying to keep my New Year's resolution of not posting on either the ABC or Sydney Morning Herald blogs. They are both a depressing litany of 'yes it is/no it isn't' 'youre right/I'm wrong' 'conservative good/liberal bad' 'climate change not real/climate change real' etc etc. And after a while it just degenerates into personal insults. You can't change people's minds; why bother? I try to tell myself that it's prood that everyone can have a say about everything and everyone's opinion is valid; but so much of it is so antagonistic. I was thinking of registering with the Guardian as it pretty much reflects my politics, but you still get a lot of 'trolling' there as well.

Thankfully I can come here where we are all basically agreed on being Eagles fans, and our differences when they occur (we are human after all) are minor. I'm so grateful to be here and grateful for everyone's views & contributions, even if I don't always agree with them (and I know I make it obvious when I don't)!

From now: no more posting on news site blogs.

I saw it in Chicago a couple of years ago - thought it was great! I definitely recommend it.

Henley Honey

01-17-2012, 10:47 AM

Jersey Boys was fabulous. I'd definitely recommend it, EK. Go if you get the chance!! It tells the story of Frankie Valli's journey through the ranks coming up in the music business. Showed the dynamic of the band, their ups and downs, who got fired, who was rehired, who went to jail, who never made it big. It was fast-paced, funny and not too Broadway-ish if you know what I mean. No over the top production numbers or overly dramatic scenes but the songs were spot-on terrific. It's funny -- I didn't realize how many hits they really had -- like "Earth Angel, Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like A Man, Oh What a Night, My Boyfriend's Back, My Eyes Adored You, Dawn, Stay, Let's Hang On, Bye Bye Baby, Working My Way Back To You, Rag Doll, Who Loves You.

Sometimes while at a Broadway show, I find myself checking my watch and wondering when it'll be over. That wasn't the case with Jersey Boys. I enjoyed every minute!! If you have the chance to see the show -- go for it. You won't be disappointed.

HH - do you think an Eagles musical could be done in that way?

Henley Honey

01-17-2012, 03:15 PM

HH - do you think an Eagles musical could be done in that way?

Definitely. When they had to help and move the story along they'd have a character kind of step away from the scene and talk the audience through what was happening in the timeline of the story while remaining in character. I could totally see how you could do an Eagles musical this way. It'd be a bit more complicated because this was mainly Frankie Valli's story with the other Four Seasons as supportive players. The Eagles would be (I'm assuming) Glenn & Don's story with the supportive players changing as did members of the band but it could absolutely be done and done well in the same way.

Henley Honey

01-17-2012, 03:22 PM

Me too - and I think it would be more interesting than the "Mamma Mia" style musical where a completely unrelated narrative is built around the songs. Of course, it's also riskier to make musicals about real people because they could complain! Felder: "That's not how it went down at all!"

I'm sure more than a few complaints would be voiced -- but money talks and a good lawyer (an oxymoron if I ever heard one) can work wonders.

I can't see the Mamma Mia style working at all. I'd run in the other direction. I'd rather they not do a play at all if it were to be a second-rate, half-a#sed production.

Sounds tasty, EK!

And Troub - glad to hear from you - we've missed 'ya!

I am taking a few minutes to catch up on the board. It has been a crazy busy week. I started on a new project and have had to go into the office every day this week. I usually work primarily from home, so I'm having to get up 2 1/2 hours earlier than normal to get dressed, make the commute, and drop my puppy off at day care.

I should be teaching. One student showed up for class, and she has spent most of the class in the bathroom!

Right now I'm making a list of things to pack later tonight - I leave for Florida in the morning! Gotta be on the road by 6AM to head to the airport! Watch out for lots of pics, perhaps some videos, AND of course reports! :D

Have just had parents-in-law around for lunch - which included home-grown new potatoes (my first attempt to grow these). Okay, they were SMALL, but pretty yummy all the same. I'm loving (learning) gardening!:D

Right now, I'm doing some laundry and getting packed up for a business trip to Kentucky (Ft. Knox). Fortunately, the meeting is off-installation and I don't need to wear suits.

Watching 70's game shows on tv while waiting for my oatmeal to finish cooking then headed off to work for the day. I get a kick out of these old shows like Match Game and seeing celebs like Betty White when they were 40 years younger along with the contestants and their goofy clothes and hair. Plus it brings back fond memories of watching them as a kid with my mom. :)

I think I did dream of them. As I woke up, I remember thinking that I needed to remember the dream so I could post it here, but by the time I was awake enough to get out of bed, the dream was gone...

I hate it when that happens! I've done the same thing. :mad:

ETA: Ok now, don't anybody laugh. I tried to make a banner out of a picture of a sign that I took to the Columbia concert a couple years ago. :blush: First try with Troub's banner making class. :lol:

Its a lovely banner Brooke!

And yeah VA, I often have the same experience, where I dream of our boys, or Glenn :heart: but while I'm really enjoying the dream it muddles up completely when I wake up!

I'm watching G-Force with Chris. The poor kiddy has a cold and a sore throat. And I'm such a bad Mom! I'm off to the lake district in England tomorrow with my parents and Laura. Just for 2 days!

I'm watching Eagles Concert from MSG 2008, LROOE tour...The concert I missed...
Somebody please tell them not to wear those black suits with the white shirts & black ties!!! Looks like a funeral. I don't like this formal look. This is Rock & Roll...but they sound great....as always. Joe is on right now doing, "In the City", & I think I forgot to put that on my Dream Set list, That was a mistake! It's awesome.:rockguitar:(thats Joe)
