Sorry you're hurting! *hugs*
 
Hey Mr.Moon! Just checking on you again...

Hope everything is okay and work is just getting in the way :D
 
One night as I lay fast asleep,
In to my drowsy eyes
A great still light began to creep
From out the silent skies.
It was the handsome Moonbeam, for when
I raised my dreamy head,
A surge of silver filled the pane
And streamed across my bed.
So, for a while, each gazed at each-
Me and the solemn Moon-
Till, climbing slowly on his way,
He vanished, and was gone.

Morning Moon ... enjoy your days off! :)
darn... I missed la mantequilla.

I'm guessing on the spelling.... it's from one of those old parkay commercials, where the tub of parkay keeps saying butter. one time it spoke spanish, for some reason. gosh, what a dork I am, some of the dumbass things I remember. :eek:

anyway, thanks.... I probably won't do anything, but it'll be nice to not have to get up and bust my ass all day.

thanks... I plan to, altho I'm partially scared to death, too, because I've never flown before. well, not in a plane, anyway. ;)
 
what night is "beggar's night"?

SL69> you made the comment that it's nice some things from childhood are still around, so I wanted to ask what night do the kids go trick or treating where you are?

there was an article in the paper today about how it can be tricky to pick the right date... I guess because the 31st is on a wednesday night this year and some churches have services on wednesdays. so, some of the areas nearby are having beggar's night tonight. one guy commented that when he was a kid (in a semi-nearby city), beggar's night was always on the 31st and we shouldn't be "bowing down" to the churches by changing it.

when I was a kid, it seems like it was always on oct. 30th here, and it made me wonder what the tradition was elsewhere....


edited to add: anyone else that wants to can answer, too... I just directed the ? at SL69 because I thought she was online and would answer fairly quickly. I'm always curious about the traditions in other areas.

What part are you going to? How long will you be gone? Will it be a long flight for you?

It's always been October 31 here. From 5-8. Plenty of time to go before or after services if that's your thing to do. When I was younger we walked the neighborhood. We go to the mall now...lol. But it's nice. We go walk and get treats and then we go have dinner in the food court. It's fun.

you still go trick or treating? damn, no wonder you don't remember ironside... you are just a baby. ;)

ya know... this may sound strange but I dunno exactly what part I'm going to. I'm flying into long beach airport and then someone is picking me up. the flight out is about 12 hours, but part of that is a 3 hour stop in cincy.... I think the flight back is only 7 hours. I'll be gone for 4 days.

May I ask where you are flying from?

I'm sure you'll have a great time!

sorry about the delay - my "warden" is around today - so my time is not my own. We've been having continuous rounds of "fight for a while - go to our seperate corners for a while".

ANYWAY - when I was a kid we Trick Or Treated on Halloween - now most of the towns do it on the Sunday before - and always during the day. That was the fun part about it for me - the dark, the scary stuff - you know. Little kids now days don't know what it's all about - it's just go and get candy and go home. Of course - we never had to have our candy apples and popcorn balls X-ray'd before we could eat them either........times change.
 
Oh, and Moonbeam -
Yes, I did
No, you didn't and
Yes, I hope you have a nice time. Too bad you aren't laying over in Chicago for 3 hours - I'm come down and visit you.
I think you will enjoy flying - of course, don't forget to take your own food if you want to eat on the plane. Used to be you would get a meal on board - now it's a beverage and a sack of nuts or some other sorta stuff like that.
I think the waiting in the airport will be the worst part - but it's usually a good time to "people watch".
