The Perseids were not good here this year.

[Heidi]

I missed 'em. I was working late (as I have for the past 3 weeks). :-\

[Heidi]

Oh Kevin, I've been putting in some serious hours and work at the office over the past few weeks and I haven't even really had a break on the weekends... so YES, I'm totally stoked about it being Friday because I have NO obligations for the first time in a long time through the weekend. :) I plan to do nothing. But first... tackling the pile of stuff-to-do on my desk with enthusiasm.

[Heidi]

Gomer Pyle. His cousin was Goober Pyle.

[Kevin]

heidi - get stuff done at work and ENJOY some time doing as much or as little as you want. my hope for you is JOY this weekend in whatever you do.

bun - gomer. i think. and you are goofy in the best way

[Heidi]

I plan to give my dog some much deserved attention... and spend some time at the pool. Plus our first kickball game of the season is on Sunday. I'm umping another game after that. It'll be fun. I always enjoy spending time on the kickball fields.

[Heidi]

:) You're very welcome. A bit of trivia - Jim Nabors has a beautiful singing voice (check out Back Home Again In Indiana). I have a holiday CD on which he sings Joy to the World, too - that's the one that blew me away. Between that and Mahalia Jackson's O Holy Night, I was reduced to tears in a matter of minutes. They just do Christmas songs so beautifully. You could imagine my surprise after years of hearing him talk through his nose as Gomer Pyle. He's definitely a chest singer. :)

[Kevin]

he traditionally sings that at the start of the Indy 500

[Heidi]

I've never watched car races on television so it would make sense that I wouldn't know that. Interesting follow-up, Kevin. :)

[Heidi]

After a loooong tiring week, I'm crashing already. And it's ONLY 1:25!!! I have another 3 and a half hours to be productive and all I want to do is take a nap. UGH!!! HALP!

[Sally, la reina]

Get up and go walk a lap outside your building. The fresh air and outside light will help wake you up.

[Heidi]

I tried that earlier during my lunch break.

I'd hide under my desk and take a nap if I didn't think people would come looking for me.

[Sally, la reina]

Car nap?

[Heidi]

I just downed two cups of ice black coffee. Maybe that'll do the trick. I'm hoping it will. I'm not a fan of coffee, so it better be worth the sacrifice.

[Sally, la reina]

Perhaps you could work on writing one new post here every 30 seconds for the rest of the day.

[Heidi]

...

>:\

[Sally, la reina]

Awwww! No! I really want you to! Shoot. I angered The Heidi.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Anger is good, it drives away the sleepies. Right, Heidi?

[Heidi]

STOP POSTING!!! I CAN'T DEAL WITH THE TEMPTATION TO CLEAR OUT ALL THE NEW POSTS!

[Sally, la reina]

(somebody had too much coffee, it would seem)

[Heidi]

:P

[Meen]

Jim Neighbors is still alive?

[Sally, la reina]

His Christmas LP still spins at our house every year.

[Heidi]

Yep. Jim Nabors is still alive (although, I thought he was dead too, Mindy).

[Sally, la reina]

He's one of those people who just made enough, did enough once upon a time and now doesn't hafta do anything anymore.

[Meen]

Is he gay? I always wondered about that. Even before I knew what gay was.

[Sally, la reina]

I don't think he knows what gay is.

[Meen]

haha!

[RandomAnthony]

No, no...he totally rocked Mayberry's gay club scene.

[Meen]

Andy woulda made a good bear.

[Kevin]

floyd was a little suspicious too

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

They didn't call him "The Gay Deceiver" for nothing, Kevin!

Floyd was usually just a side character, despite his barbershop being one of the main centers of action in the town, although there were a few instances where he took center stage. On one such occasion, was on a 1962 episode called "Floyd, The Gay Deceiver". Floyd's female penpal with whom he had been corresponding writes to tell him she's paying him a visit. Floyd begs Andy to help him because he's been deceiving her into thinking he was a wealthy businessman. Andy reluctantly agrees to help put up the act, only to discover that the woman is a con artist herself, intent on getting her hands on Floyd's "money."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_La...

Actually, I think I remember that the actor have some sort of health problems that meant he had to sit down most of the time? Yes...

When not cutting hair, Floyd can generally be seen sitting on the bench outside his shop. In fact, in almost all of his appearances later in the series, Floyd is only seen sitting or appears to be standing behind the barber's chair. This is due to the fact that Howard McNear suffered a massive stroke and was left with little use of his arms and legs, especially his left arm, which rarely moved. Floyd was absent from the 1963 season, and from 1964 on, his appearances were brief and less frequent.

right now i am ready to puke. i know:

Get a hold of yourself Garth - if you hurl and I get a whiff of it, I'll spew. And if I blow chunks the chances are other people are gonna honk.

today if donated plasma (donated? they pay you for it) and i feel pukey. twice a week for 1 hour each time and you can make about $240 a month. i am going to Haiti in october and this will help pay my way. i think i need to eat differently....

[RandomAnthony]

Ah, here we go...

Right now I'm writing up donor agreements and waiting for a 1:30PM meeting to start...if I focus I can get out of here by 2:30...I was afraid to go out to lunch, by the way, because the parking lot is way crowded and I'd lose my parking space.

[Sarah]

I am in a very good mood today because I played poker for money for the first time ever last night (not counting playing for pennies with my uncles when we were kids). And you know what? I won. I won I won I won. It wasn't big money, but I doubled what I put in, and that was more than anyone else did.
This despite my absolute inability to keep a straight face. Apparently I am just one big tell, from my eyebrows to my mouth to my hair.

[[deleted user]]

Obviously not a big enough tell - you won.

[Sarah]

I had some really good luck, and I'm smart enough to fold if things aren't going my way.

I just have no ability to bluff.

Or do I???

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I'm packing up to go camping. Just about ready, I just have to put some laundry away first.
Led Zeppelin is playing on the radio, sun is coming in the open windows, and it really feels like summer vacation.
I'll be back on Thursday...

[Félix]

Have fun, Librarian. Fear not the mosquitoes!

[[deleted user]]

Have fun Jackie - have a smore for me.

[Kevin]

and some smore for me also. hope you have a great, relaxing and safe time.

[Sarah]

Enjoy the great outdoors!

[RandomAnthony]

Camping is not vacation. Your family owes you, Jacks...

[RandomAnthony]

Right now I'm working in a coffee shop because I can't get shit done in my office. Too many people around during the first week of classes. It'll settle down by Friday.

[Sarah]

You're just saying that 'cause your sleeping bag smells like dog pee.

[RandomAnthony]

DID smell like dog pee. I washed it again.

You may want to not leave it lying around for a couple days.

[Kevin]

you paying for stuff RA or just sucking up the free bandwidth?

[RandomAnthony]

Iced tea! I'm a good customer. They know me here. I don't want to mess up my reputation.
