Morning Terry and Marg,I agree, Cleo, we need your breakfast expertise. We tried to keep it going while you were gone but the tribe got tired of oatmeal.

Good Morning everyone. I’m early this time. Hey tabby try and do what I when Mr. Insomina pays a late-night visit:
1.Read A Book
2.Play the radio or the TV (with a timer on so it can turn off)
3.Or what I do: Listen to recorded bed bedtime stories you made for your children.

Poor Wink! He’s looks so silly!
Mornin’ all!

Morning tribe!
Tabby You’re right - I do know that song, but not near as well as that little girl does!
tabby, shika, bmonk, and others who pray - please pray for my left hand. In the past, I’ve had a dislocated finger and a cracked finger, so when I injured it Monday, it didn’t seem to hurt as bad as those times, and figured it was the equivalent of stubbing a toe. But it is STILL sore, and slightly swollen (I can only tell that by comparing it to my other hand.) I can move it okay, and do light things with it like typing. But it hurts to grip anything - like taking the cap off a marker, or turning a doorknob. I really don’t want to have more medical bills, or trips to get physical therapy!! If it isn’t better by Friday, I guess I’ll have to go see a doctor. So, pray that it heals by then.

You got our prayers RRAmom, but pray tell, what happened to your left hand?
Wink, quit monkeying around and get in the program!

Yikes, Wink looks like a feathered raccoon!
Good Morning Tribe!
RRAmom, I will pray for your hand too.
Hey, it’s hump day and that is not an innuendo!
I’m cleaning house today, so I will popping in here and there.
Have a good day everyone!
Rmom said, 5 months ago
Goodquestion I hurt my hand by being klutzy. I tried to pull myself up into a truck cab, and since I had a Coke bottle in my hand, didn’t get a good enough grip, and slipped. I think it bent my finger(s) back too far, but not sure. I can’t even tell for sure exactly where the injury is located - all my fingers hurt on that hand from the swelling.
Rmom said, 5 months ago
Thanks carmy!

Good Morning Tribe!
Long night at work and lots to do, but I’ll check in.
RRAmom - I’ll add you to my prayers and make a big deposit in the Tribal Bank for you.
JFri - Check out natural Selection today, I think we know what that pirate really looks like now.

tabbylynn: I have played pogo for a long time and love the games. I have the Club membership and can give 5 day passes for that. Let me know your pogo name and I will send you one.

RMom - I hope that you didn’t break anything. Try to keep your hand elevated, that might help the swelling. If possible, try to exercise your fingers by moving them. Hope you get better soon.
Okay, breakfast…Let’s see, how about a sun-dried tomato frittata with fresh basil and sauteed onions, served with my homemade light wheat bread. Cubes of honeydew and cantaloupe on the side and my sonic coffee or cranberry juice for your beverage choices.

Morning Tribe!
Cleo, I’ll have some of your delicious looking breakfast with coffee and juice. I will be out gardening today, and will be scarce until this evening, so this is a check in and check out.
The gardening is a wee summer job I’ve picked up for extra $$$. I love being out doors too!
Rmom said, 5 months ago
Thanks doc
Cleo - Since I’ve cracked & dislocated fingers before, I’ve had a little experience in this area, unfortunately. I don’t think I broke anything, since the pain seems spread over a wide area, and not specific to a precise point. The swelling isn’t too severe - sort of what water retention looks like, but only one hand. Is it possible to just pull/sprain muscles or ligaments on fingers?
Nozzi said, 5 months ago
Morning everyone, I am just here for the food. LOL
cleo I don’t think I ever had sun dried tomato frittata but it does sound good although I already had breakfast but can not pass up on coffee.
Well ciao & later, gators!

TABBY: Hope you got some sleep after all. I have those night. Colouring soounds fun! I’ll try that next time.
CARMY: Hope you have a good day.
DawnA: I’ll never tire of oatmeal. But the variety here is too good to pass up!
JFri: Good one, I think. What’s WWE? I know WWS (Sports) Boxing? Wrestling?
Morning DRY: I agree, Wink looks silly! Too cute.
Morning Doc T. Have a good day today. Hope it’s not too hot.
RRAmom: Prayers for you coming up. Time to do my devotions- I slept in today.
Morning Terry and Akenta! I’ll catch you guys later.
Peace and Love!

Good morning all! I may be scarce over the next few days, so don’t worry about search parties.
For breakfast - I finally located my chrome plated dishes so that I can make Eggs Benedict.
RMom - Finger sprains are definitely possible, keep it elevated as mentioned above and alternate heat and ice should help. Definitely get it checked though.
Goodquestion said, 5 months ago
RRAmom sounds like you pulled your tendons. Usually happens in other areas (my knees, once) and hurts like blazes. Ice should help but in the long run, time will heal your hand. Suggest you cut down on multi-tasking. Prayers and good vibes coming your way.
Cleo- we sure missed your breakfests, I’m swelling up like a balloon here! Ummmumm good! ☼
JFri said, 5 months ago
docT, why are you telling me* this? Shouldn’t you be talking to *comicaddict? You freeze your brain at work last night? Or have you been into the rum?
Rmom said, 5 months ago
Thanks for the advice. I’ve made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon. I’ll let you know what I find out. Dfrog the heat might be a good idea - I’ll have to dig out my hot wax bath and use it on it. (The hot wax bath is an appliance designed to soak feet in hot wax to soften them. I haven’t used mine much because my feet are too big to fit in it. But when I dislocated my finger, soaking my hand in hot wax was part of the physical therapy.)

You don’t think I want him coming after ME with that cutlass, do you?

Dry don’t worry about Commicaddict and Rubes today - I left a note there as to why.
Josh 1360 said, 5 months ago
Welcome again, everyone. Took a little mid-morning snooze. Did I miss anything?
JFri said, 5 months ago
docT, well thanks a TON! Like I want the pirate mad at *me*? Are you NUTS?
JFri said, 5 months ago
D.F. I left you a note at Rubes.
JFri said, 5 months ago
A very good reason to own a dog instead of a cat!! http://assets.comics.com/dyn/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/200000/80000/4000/500/284565/284565.full.gif

Oh yeah, I remember now. Hee, hee.

Morning all.
RRAmom Added you to my prayers. Glad you are having it checked out.
JFri Agree about why a dog instead of a cat. Funny strip.
DocT Hi and yes I’ll agree your nuts, although some of your past(hint is it has to do with that love thing) resembles some of my past so we have reason to be nuts.
Cleo Don’t work too hard but keeping her happy will keep you happy.
josh1360 Power naps are always good.
DigitalFrog Can’t wait for those eggs benedict.
Carmy See ya when your done with the house.
Dry Hi Dry!
Tabbylynn Hope ya got some sleep.
Akenta Hope your day is good.
Shikamoo Nothing wrong with some mad money. $$$$$$$
If I missed anyone I am sorry, but I’m still trying to figure out a better way to type with this steering wheel stuck to my hand. LOL
