Hi Tabby I went for a walk tonight too. I needed the exercise!
Thanks for the breakfast! Looks great and will hit the spot. Think I will have the cinnamon buns - with lots of cream cheese icing. After all I did have my walk.
I try to think outside the box too sometimes - but mine is bigger if I think inside it.
Sleep well.

I’m standing on the bridge
I’m waiting in the dark
I thought that you’d be here by now
There’s nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I’m listening but there’s no sound
Isn’t anyone trying to find me?
Won’t somebody come take me home?
It’s a bleeep cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won’t you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are but I
I’m with you
I’m looking for a place
I’m searching or a face
Is anybody here I know?
Cause nothing’s going right
And everything’s a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn’t anyone trying to find me?
Won’t someone come take me home?
It’s a bleeep cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won’t you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are but I
I’m with you
I’m with you
Oh, why is everything so confusing?
Maybe im just outta my mind
yeah yeah…
It’s a bleeep cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won’t you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are but I
I’m with you
I’m with you

Tabby, I was making my rounds. Let me know when you want the lily back. Sleep well! I like the sing you quoted.

Morning everyone and Happy Tuesday!!
tabby thanks for that song. I really like what I’ve heard from Avril (but I don’t have any of her CDs). One of the latest movies I’ve watched is Eragon. I didn’t want to see it when it came out, but after hearing Avril’s song and seeing some clips, I got excited when Disney showed it. I enjoyed the movie, but when it came time for her song at the end, Disney talked over it. Had to go to YouTube to watch it.
Akenta said, 5 months ago
Almost forgot to read the comic again. While I love to watch Cirque du Soleil, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to follow the stories they are trying to tell.

It’s really hard to think outside the box when you work in a cube!
Morning, all! Thanks for the song, tabby, and for breakfast. Now I have to choose between good & good for me. I’ll take some cake & some fruit. Can’t decide so a little of both. MMMM, still fresh! See everyone around toontown.

Good Morning everyone. Well another great day here in Clayton County GA., and then it’s back to having more rain until the weekend. We need more of it. We could do without the happy mosquitoes that comes with it, though. Which won’t matter to me, I’m inside the house most of the time.

Morning all! Good to be back. Canadians drive to fast. I ran into 3 bad accidents on my trip to Silver Creek, BC. Two of them before the ambulance and police arrived, but plenty of people to help.
marg. thank you for the videos. I am now the scourge of our road roaring up and down it on my lazyboy. LOL
We are getting August weather. Several of our outdoor plants suffered from lack of water during the 4 days we were away. It is a bit scary, but I am loving the sun.

DRY: You sleep through storms like I do. LOL Wake up and wonder what happened outside.
Radical- Ditto. Have a productive day! And fun too.
Josh: Skeeters love dampness, don’t they?
Carmy: I’m with yuo. I can’t think today. I am boxed in!

bmonk Last night, when I said, “How did you do that?” I was referring to your Haiku poem. When I saw it, it was all scrunched up with lines on top of each other. It looked hilarious!) I thought you did it intentionally. I see today that it straightened itself out. Sorry you lost such a big file. Huh. computers are not that great sometimes.

I made my toon run. Back until I decide if I’m gonna work in the garage. It’s been raining here for 2 days. Think I’ll just sit on the porch with coffee and watch the rain drops.
Welcome back cleokaya!
Good Morning Shikamoo
Good Morning RRAmom

Cleo, Glad to see you back! Talk about crazy drivers, you should take a trip to New Hampshire sometime. From the Hudsan Valley area all the way through Connecticut is a terrifying trip! 4 lanes in each direction, 80 mph drivers and you have to drive just as fast or else, people on cell phones as they are driving, zipping in an out of lanes, MAN!

@Drystyha, I didn’t take it personally; I tend not to. OTOH, if we are going to get violins, maybe we will want the horns back? (I just hope someone else doesn’t take up the saxaphone; then we’d have Sax and violins…)
No, the haiku error messages are an oldish internet standby; I just love them.
I ate your Web page.
Forgive me. It was juicy
And tart on my tongue.
The Web site you seek
cannot be located,
but endless others exist.

DRY, Terry and Cleo.
Here in Ontario, the norm is 120 kph. The speed limit is 100kph. The first time I drove on a highway, I overshot the first lane and wound up between two transports going 120 kph all the way to my destination. I just grit my teeth and prayed I could get to the off ramp before crashing! LOL

I know what you mean. I spent 14yrs in the military and drove all over including Germany’s Autobahn. It gets crazy out there.

@ bmonk: I don’t have a Sax, but I do have Benny Goodman playing the Clarinet Concerto by Bach! sounds much better than my violin, but I just need to practice.
SKREEEE!

I think this counts as excessive Sax and Violins!

Germany’s Autobahn? I’ve heard of people who survived that! They have this perpetual hunched over look, their eyes tend to bug out and their hands are always clenched. One person I know still has his steering wheel in his hands.
HONK! Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.

cleokaya - so glad to have you back.
Yappynutville just isn’t the same without you.
Way late start here, off to read a few.

The trip went okay. My hubby had to take an overnight business trip, and I went to visit a relative I hadn’t seen in many, many years. I don’t regret visiting, but didn’t enjoy it enough to make a habit of it. I hurt my left hand (just a little - I think) pulling myself up to climb in the truck on the way home. (It is one of those you wish it had a ladder.) Also, my hubby forgot the electric cord to his CPAP machine, so his snoring kept me from sleeping well. So, between being sleep-deprived and a sore hand, I’ll be mostly reading and not writing.
Cleo - I’m glad you had a pleasant time.
