JFr and Tabby thanks for the breakfast /evening snack! Guess Cleo actually went to bed tonight - at least I hope he hasn’t fallen asleep at the ‘puter.
I didn’t finish all of the comments from yesterday (today my time) as I’ve been out all day.

Akenta, nice one! Le Tribe does have a nice ring to it.
Good Morning Le Tribe!
Last day of school here today. They all get out at noon. So much stuff to do before then. Sigh…eh, whatever, all I can do is all I can do. I’m just looking forward to a nice, quiet weekend.
Thanks for breakfast! Have a good day everyone!
Rmom said, 5 months ago

Good morning Tribe!
tabby and JFri - Funny you both made french toast this morning, I’m making it for my sweety and her family tonight. It’s nearly the only thing I know how to make - LOL
marg - I never see you during the day anymore, so Hi from last night.
Dawn - This group can be hard to keep up with, but it’s worth it.
gmartin - It was 161 yesterday, but we’ll try harder today just for you.
Akenta - Le Tribe sounds good, or how about Le Yappe Nuts
tabby - Don’t you work too hard, you’re supposed to be taking it easy.
Nozzi - See what happens when you don’t visit every day.
carmy - good luck with that.
RRAmom - hope your hand is better.
Akenta said, 5 months ago

JFri - Thanks for breakfast. I will have a little of everything. And no I did not fall asleep at the computer. So there… I fell asleep watching a movie.
Rmom said, 5 months ago
doc my hand is doing much better. I can now take the cap off a marker without pain. We’ll see how it feels later today, as I’ve got to work on some projects I’ve been procrastinating too long.
Doctor Toon

Mornin’ Le Tribe!
I will be out more than in so no search parties!
Doc you’re up early! Or did I get up late? LOL
It was raining when I got up, still is! And the first thing that popped inot my head was the Lovin Spoonfuls song Rain on the Roof and now I can’t get rid of it! JFri I HATE YOU!!! :-P
Rmom said, 5 months ago
Dry How about “Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head” by the Carpenters?
JFri said, 5 months ago
Dry :-( Rmom that was done by BJ Thomas!

DAAAAAAHH Strip:
Try ”Le Grand Chapiteau”……….No, sounds too PROFESSIONAL - can’t risk creating expectations of any sort.
Dry

Great now I’ve got another nauseating song in my head to replace the other nauseating song!
Have a great day all, be around sometime later!
JFri, you know I don’t really hate you! :-D
Rmom said, 5 months ago
My bad, Dry! You’re right! But the Carpenters did “Rainy Days & Mondays”, so there’s another one for your theme.

Hey, I know how to make French Toast, pancakes, eggs, and so on too. Not so good at cooking any other meals, tho… :-(
But, Tabby, I commiserate with you on the thick hair. Or family has it too–when my brother’s hair reached his shoulders, it was as wide as them too! OTOH, I don’t think I will ever get too tall for my hair, like lots of guys do. (fatuncle comes to mind for some reason, like his avatar.) Takes forever to dry, even when it’s short! Although, I can go out in winter with wet hair, and not worry. Only the outer half inch or so freezes…

The real circus is the Big Apple Circus. And the song you wouldn’t mind in your head is ‘Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends’.

Bonjour, le Tribe!
At least, I think that’s how it should be?
Doctor Toon
said,

Drystyha - I did get off an hour early, but I think you were late.
Consider yourself TOOTED!
bmonk - My family has very thick hair as well. I always thought it may be due to being Scandinavian. Thick hair can come in handy in colder climates.
boozoothatswho - We’re so glad you could attend - Come inside, come inside

Good Morning Le Tribe
I likie that. It’s sounds cool.
Akenta Have a good time.
Rmom Glad to hear the hand is doing better.
JFri Thanx for the breakfast.
Hey DocT How’s things?
Dry How’s about “I Love The Rainy Nights, I think by Eddie Rabbit. Ha! Get that one out of your head.
Cleo My wife always says a change of pace is good. Just don’t fall asleep on le toilet!
Carmy Hope your weekend is quiet.
Tabby Have fun at babysitting/work!
Marge I always miss you. Hi!
cleokaya

If thick hair was a Scandinavian trait, then that bald old milkman must have been having an affair with my mother.

JFri: Re: your last post before I fell asleep. I NEVER underestimate the power of the Dark Side!
BBL I’m going to read what you guys said last night so I can give you tips on how to raise your stats! We can have our surprise inspector gmartin997 thinking we are slacking off here! LOL
Morning boozoothats who: Hope you enjoy the circus. Lots of fun here.
JFri said, 5 months ago

Terry - gmartin is our pet Troll. First (a month or so ago) he said we should get a chat room, now he says we’re not Yappy ENOUGH!
cleokaya - You have the built in Scandinavian fur coat don’t you?
Shikamoo - You confuse me enough in English, now you’re just messing with my mind.
JFri said, 5 months ago

Doc Toon: Thanks. You have a good memory- I need some like that to keep me on track.
You bet I’m messin’ with your mind. There’s little enough to mess with mind you! LOL
JFri: Too bad you didnn’t make a video of that strom. It sounds awesome.
Rmom said, 5 months ago
Shika - If you’re going to use French, please translate for those of us who don’t understand it. I don’t mind learning French - I just don’t know it, or anyone who speaks it fluently. I took Spanish in high school - didn’t do too well, but at least I know some basic words. But I’m really lost when it comes to French.
Rmom said, 5 months ago
My sister is blonde - perhaps from some distant Scandinavian ancestor, her hair is thick and grows long easily. Unfortunately, I got some other hair genes - probably from the British Isles. Thin, fine, dry, and breaks off when it touches my shoulders. Doesn’t matter what I do - my mom & grandma had the same problem.
I keep telling my sons that they are doomed when it comes to male pattern baldness. Every male in the family tree for the last several generations on every line went bald. Just a matter of how quickly….
