You know it's monday when... You wake up at 3am WITHOUT the alarm and smile
because you can head to work to recover from the weekend.

Jackie, The solution to the back problems is to let them live up to their name
and LEAVE them alone 8^) Out in the country, the squirrels don't mind the leaves
in the yard 8^)

Found this on a mailing list I follow and thought I'd share it:

"I thought that I could see the light at the end of the tunnel....
...but it was only some bugger with a torch bringing me more work."

    You know it is Monday when.....
    
       .... you wake up at 10am and are NOT late for work ;)
       .... the alarm clock rings at 7am and you just turn around and
            go on snoring ;)
       .... the sun is out and you're strolling through the parks of
            Beantown. (Boston) ;)
       .... you're getting lots of mail from Europe ... without knowing
            because.....
    
    this Monday is a HOLIDAY here. ;) ;) ;)
    
    Happy Memorial Day to everyone. 
    
    On Monday I'll be thinking about all the friends in Europe.... ;) ;)

			Coincidence sans incidences ainsi,	BenJ.	;)

    Chris
    :)

	Well, I think it's not the 1rst time I write it, but I know U were out
for a while. I was born the 27/08/71. As I won't be here in August, nobody cares
about my birthday date.   :-(

				Plus qu'un mois et demi...	BenJ.	;)

    
    
    
    well..you can get an early ahppy b-day from me now then! :)
    
    Happy B-day for the 27th of august!
    
    Chris
    :)

Same for U... (31 next 27th January?)
						Merci...	BenJ.	;)

    Chris
    :)

    Age snarfffff ;)))))))
    
    Hello BenJ,  don't think nobody cares for your birthday, we do. 
    Try to stay on the Internet when your job is done and put your 
    Internet address in here. Then you'll get Birthday mail on the
    27th of August.
    You're not alone in this world, even if it seems like that on your
    hateful Tuesday. 
    Here is a big hug. 
    I hope the sun will shine again for you soon.

    	this may not be monday, but it feels like one!
    
    	YKIMW:
    
    	your friend tells you you're about to catch a ration of **** from
    someone who should have nothing to say about what you do. Arg...I hate
    having to defend my actions against idjits....
    
    
    chico

You know it is Tuesday when.....

   - everybody around you wears something with red in it.

;)
Martina with red flowers on her skirt for RED-day

    you think about all your dear friends in Europe who are sitting
    and sweating at work, cursing over their workload.....
    .....
    
    while you're sitting outside in the sun with a cool beer next to you
    and enjoy your day off.
    
    Happy 4th of July week!
    
    ;)

	Monday=Busy-day

	Guess we won't see our US friends today...

					The one and lonely,	BenJ.	;)

    This is not entirely correct my dear..... ;)
    
    Lt. Cmdr. Martina-Data is on the bridge today.....
    
    But not for long. Mr. Data soon will be going to Boston to sit in
    the sun and write poetry.
    
    ;)))))))))
    Martina

>    But not for long. Mr. Data soon will be going to Boston to sit in

  OK, I'll bite. Why go to Boston to do this when you can do it at home?

    Hello Bob!!!!
    
       ;)
       Your statement shows an appropriate deal of practically, but,,,,,
       I need an inspirational environment to write poetry. ;)
       Sometimes I feel like it when sitting at home, in my wingchair, with
       my notebook on my lap in the middle of my 2 tower speakers.
       That's mostly in the evening when I'm exhausted after a busy day.
       And..... sometimes I feel like needing a different environment
       to get the inspirational flow going.
       Poetry involves a huge portion of feelings. Feelings need  
       association to be triggered. And I can enhance my associative level
       when creating an environment of high sensory input.
     
       ;)
       In English: I go to Boston to ly in the sun and watch eg the boats
       on the Charles, the people interacting, the clouds, the city's 
       heartbeat. Then I write.
    
    ;)
    Martina-Data

	re -1

	As for me...

	"Inspiration" come sometimes when U don't expect it... U take your
pencil, a peace of paper and U begin to write rhymmes, words which seem to have
been created to be together... Something very important for me, I have to be
alone to write, I must be completly relaxing to just let my mind fly.
	I've tried to force me to write when I was in a specific place, but it
didn't work everytime. For sure when I feel something important with a girl, I
can easily write without very good conditions. One last thing: Autumn is the
best season for me to write. When the sky is grey, when the rain falls down on
me, my melancholic side reappear...

		Dans de mauvaises conditions aujourd'hui,	BenJ.	;)

    
    	I don't write anymore. I used to write scads of poetry....more than
    one poem a day for many years. Sometimes I'd write them on napkins in a
    restaraunt and then leave them behind for the waitress to pick up with
    the tip. Actually had one waitress save it and return it to me the next
    time I visited the restaraunt! Threw most of my poems out, but I've
    saved some of the more special ones. 
    
    
    chico

    Hello Chico,
    
       why did you throw your poems away???? Each poem is a witness of a
       special way of feeling, a special point in time. Each poem
       represents a portion of yourself, expresses your very essence in
       that very moment. Don't throw them away.
       I never do. I even have kept the first one I did..... when I was
       10 or 11. A funny blackhumour thing about divers eaten by a shark.
       It has only 5 or 6 lines, but..... it is a leftover of a special
       fun time in my childhood.
       I don't write many poems. I have about 20 or 30 now. That day in
       Boston was an exception. I tried to experiment with different
       styles and wrote 3 poems with normal everyday's conversational
       terms plus the fun thing "Almost Eleven". That's why I could do
       so much on 1 day. Normally it takes me several days for 1 poem.
       Expressive highly lyrical sophisticated paintings of words take
       time.
    
    ;)

    re: why did I throw my poems away?
    
    	Well, alot of them were very dark (and I'm not talking color here),
    written during some very unhappy times. They had served their purpose
    of giving me a vent and allowing me to put my feelings down on paper.
    It is quite disconcerting to read those same words now. I had an offer
    to publish some of them, but I turned it down.....

    Ahh so you were tempted by the Dark side!!
    
    
    here is your Jedi weapon....take it...I am un-armed!!
    Strike me down with all your anger!
    
    
    Hehehhehehehheh
    
    With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant!!!
