Hey you two. Get to bed. I couldn’t sleep tonight, and thought that surely I’d be first. I was going to cook breakfast too.
Mighty fine of you to serve us so early cleo. Don’t mind if I try some. No coffee though. I’m going to try to go back to sleep if I can.
Good Morning johnnydoc. Hope I don’t seem too grumpy. This late night talk isn’t the best time for me. Nice too see you both though.

Morning tabbylynn and margueritem!
Sorry you hurt yourself tabby- I won’t laugh at you anyways.
Can you walk?
cleo, did you catch this trout? It’s delicious!
johnnydoc5 said, 6 months ago
Hello, Shika and Marg, allow me to bring the OJ and milk.
Shika, you think you are grumpy, I just got baited by a troller and posted one of my more sarcastic remarks over at SOTU.
Tabby: you getting hurt like that isn’t funny, that is unfortunate and I wish you a speedy recovery. Here is a hug to help (((Tabby)) :) If you want comedic injury listen to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2iUW7GGd8A Hope this works.

Glad to see you all here. A bigger group than usual at this time of the day. johnnyd, excuse my ignorance, but with this new set up, how do you go back to check your entry for yesterday?
johnnydoc5 said, 6 months ago

JDOC: sorry to hear that. What’s a troll? I mean, besides a little fictional dwarf under a bridge looking for victims. Or do you mean trolling for fish?
johnnydoc5 said, 6 months ago
Tabby, is your ankle swollen or unusually red (assuming there is a usual red?)
johnnydoc5 said, 6 months ago
Shika, troll is the term used for people with nasty things to say, most commonly found at SOTU.
Tabby Lynn

i just P i s s ed my dad off. go me. i got the cruches. lol okay now im going to bed. lol night
johnnydoc5 said, 6 months ago
If it is swollen still tomorrow, you will want to see a doctor, because it sounds like a sprain, but if it isn’t it could just be twisted or strained. Now I’m going to bed.
Good Night All.

Hey early birds. I posted some hellos on my rounds, but I’m kind of foggy now, so if they don’t make sense, it’s the late hour, not rum. Thanks for the wonderful late night dinner/breakfast.
Good Night Irene (a really OLD song.)

Tabby: Sweetie, have that looked at. It sounds like a bad sprain or worse. Yes, you do need the crutches, and you need to stay off of the ankle. You also need to ice it for 20 minutes at a time.
serenasakitty said, 6 months ago
Tabbylynn I hope your ankle is better real soon.
Cleokaya may I have some of that trout, eggs scrambled, and some toast? Sounds great. Do you have any juice? Then I think I’ll head for bed. Night all.

JFri said, 6 months ago
hey, jdoc……BOO Did I scare you? I tried to sneak up on cleo and scare him the other night. Didn’t work then, either :-)
JFri said, 6 months ago
Wow, last one standing again! Hey, I don’t think anyone mentioned the Rolling Stones! 19th Nervous Breakdown, Off Of My Cloud, Paint It Black just to mention a few! Life is good this time of night, posting, reading the comics & listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LciViqf4MQk
JFri said, 6 months ago
marg finally saw your response to yesterday’s Frog Applause. I liked it but I always tell people: I’m not a doctor…I have no patients!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UnuvRRu00k

Happy Friday!!
tabby I hope your knee is doing better. Make sure you take care of yourself.
shika a troll is someone who posts with the intent to cause trouble - more than someone who has a strong opinion on the topic at hand. I’ve been taught to not feed the trolls and they will go away since they only want attention.
I’m not sure I like jdoc as a nickname for johnnydoc - I just keep picturing JFri and DocT’s love child :-)
Akenta said, 6 months ago
Cleo/docT as for yesterday’s Adam comments. I usually read the comments before I see who said them. Only if the comment is interesting I will check out who said them. So I read Cleo’s comment first and thought that wasn’t nice to say, but when I looked at the person it all made sense. Since we chat more than comment here, I look at the names first.

Good Morning, I just popped in to say that. Another busy day for me. BBL.
Tabby, ice your ankle and take it easy!

Good morning all!
.
Tabby - sorry to hear about your ankle, hope it doesn’t turn to serious but I agree with the advice the others have given - stay off it, ice it regularly, and see a doctor if necessary - don’t be a tough girl.
.
Marg - thanks for breakkie - the trout was a wonderful change up.

Good morning all!
Running late again the night crew needed help so I had to work a whole 8 hours, almost forgot what it was like. - LOL
cleokaya - Thanks for breakfast.
margueritem- If you think my life is confusing to read about, you should try living it.
tabbylynn - A deposit has been made in the Tribal Bank of Energy and Goodwill in your name.
Akenta - that comment about johnnydoc, JFri and I gives me the ickies.

Morning, Tribe… Just popped in for a howdy and I’m off to make my rounds and find out what’s changed in UCLICK Land.
JFri said, 6 months ago
AKENTA THAT IS JUST SICK!! EEEEWWWWWWWW! Well now I don’t have to worry about eating for the rest of the day! On that note I will be very scarce until Tuesday. No search parties!!

Out gardening today, finally getting a break in the weather. How do you like my new avatar? It’s a caraicature I had done at a Christmas party a couple of years ago.
JFri said, 6 months ago
OK, this is weird! On my Blackberry our comments are numbered, i.e., Rad’s is 42 & D.F. is 43!!!

Rad—hansr? I’m not what you mean.
johnnyd, thanks, caught your comment from yesterday.
JFri & doctortoon I think you both make a very fine couple.
Doctor Toon

Josh - I woke up tired and sore last night, too. I did it to myself though. Feeling much better now.
Rad - I think we’re getting used to the changes. I’m not the only one who doesn’t like the extra click in non-linear navigation. My only serious complaint.
JFri - Sorry, you’re not my type - LOL
DF - Nice characture, I’ve had a few done.
Glad I’m not in politics.
johnnydoc5 said, 6 months ago
Good morning all, slept in today.
JFri: Sorry no, didn’t quite get me, I was already off to bed.
Akenta: Did NOT need that. :-P
Carmy
said,

DF, that is a very nice picture.
Tabby, you should go see a doctor.
Cleo, JFri and Doc would not make a good couple, BARF!
We got a little break from the rain. It’s sprinkling now. 70% showers and t-storms for today and 60% for tonight and tomorrow. At least the grass and the trees are bright green.
Always look on the bright side of life…
johnnydoc5 said, 6 months ago
Hopefully, it clears up soon, Carmy. The weather must be bad, they had to delay the ball game down there yesterday at Tampa, and they play inside.
