I’m sorry, but boogers and nannys do not make an acceptable breakfast. How about some blueberry pancakes with sausages and eggs instead.
hymenoxis said, 5 months ago
Dang….I didn’t prepare.
I have…(rummages)…Pringles and grape jelly.
JFri said, 5 months ago
I’m with you, marg! Dish me up some, please!
hymenoxis said, 5 months ago
Wait…I found some pretzel sticks that the dog got into…she licked most of the salt off though…should pretzels bend?
Dawn said, 5 months ago
Marg may I please have some blueberry pancakes and sausages. Somehow bendy pretzels don’t sound very appetizing, Hymy.
hymenoxis said, 5 months ago
I’ve found half a dill pickle, wrapped in a paper towel, that my wife left in the fridge, if that helps.

Not a record, but a fine showing.
gmartin - Are you happy now?
JFri - Looks like you’re the last man standing when I get home again.
I’m not even sticking around. I woke up way early and I’m taking a nap
I’ll try and be up in time for the morning crowd.

Happy morning everyone, today, June 6th is special to me & it’s not because it’s D-day.
Bless you all.

@JFri, I thought you might be the fairy godmother last night because
Shikamoo said, before that, “Jfri, do you have a little more ale left? It’s almost midnight here, and I’m turning into a pumpkin. I don’t know what the connection is, but I’ll think of something.”
The only time things turn into pumpkins, as far as I remember, is when there are fairy godmothers involved. And she was asking you about the ale. So that was the connection.
Maybe a dwarven (‘cause of the ale ;-) godfather? Nope: too big. Well, there almost gotta be a connection there somewhere. Maybe just being near midnight and what comes out of my overly active imagination…

The problem with taking naps with no alarm is that sometimes they turn into real sleep.
Yeesh, four hours, what a sluggard I am.
Off to my morning rounds.
Good Morning Nozzi and bmonk

Good Morning All!

Mornin’ all and happy weekend! I’m hoping this means I’m back. Two days I’ve been able to see the comments and get in so I’m hoping… Do you know how hard it is to type with your fingers crossed???
Well, I know it’s only Saturday, but I’m celebrating so…Mimosas anyone? I also have some croissants with a variety of preserves if anyone’s interested. I didn’t see any coffee on the menu but I swear I could smell some brewing somewhere. I do have fresh juices and hot tea if you’d like. Plenty of ice if you’d prefer an iced tea.
Someone requested instrumentals and I think that’s a good idea while everyone’s chatting and catching up after a hectic week so here are a few I ran across in my library. Hopefully I’ll still be able to offer some variety throughout the weekend. Enjoy!

Morning all. Pancakes sound wonderful, but only 2 ‘cause I’m fixing to start lunch, which is the big meal on Saturdays here ‘cause I go to a gameing/beading/whatnot store to meet with some beaders on Saturday afternoon/evening. I’m making snowflakes like mad right now….gotta get ready for Christmas sales!
I hope everyone is doing better today, injuries/sickness healing, lives taking a better turn and just general goodness and blessings on everyone!

carmy - The artist from 2 cows said he lives about 20 miles from me. The farm is around here somewhere. What can I say, I told everyone my coffee is potent.
dcguys - That’s probably my coffee you’re smelling.
Did anyone see the brown mushroom cloud over the western US?
I made my coffee extra strong this AM after my nap.

Morning all. Clouds are here for the first time in quite a while. I awoke to the sound of an announcer pumping all the participants up for a 50k endurance race that takes place on the lake today. Entrants from all over the country. Last year I watched some of the participants on the final leg. They were beat. We have lots of races here, shells, marathons, bike races, long distance swims, etc.

Morning all, Le Tribe! It’s a lovely cool but sunny day here, about 12oC and warming up.

carmy - If I’m going to be infamous, there could be worse things than my coffee.
cleokaya - A couple of times a year there are races that run right in front of my house all day.
I’ve seen a few runners I wanted to offer a place to rest.
Terry - Tap into the virtual pipeline, hot glowing coffee always on tap.
Morning johnnydoc and Shikamoo.

Morning Le Tribe!
Nozzi - Okay, I’ll bite. Why is June 6th special to you?
bmonk - Shika is a lefty, I’m right-handed, but left-eyed, which helps explain my klutziness.

Carmy positive energy & hugs to you! Shika the Sting was from The Entertainer, I believe. Lara’s Theme was from Dr. Zhivago. Cleo just being cleo again. Nozzi what *is* so special today? I have a special meaning for today, too, but I won’t bring the group down with it or ruin it’s special meaning for you!

I was going to go back through the comments that were made during my time of invisibility, but I really hope to get out & get some things done. I’ve been picturing some of the trouble - err, I mean fun - y’all have been getting into so that will tide me through. I figured it was your coffee I smelled Doc but had no clue that was the source of the mushroom cloud.
I also want to thank everyone for the positive thoughts & energy you’ve been sharing through the tribal bank. I had to make the first withdrawal to help me through some cardio issues last week. Also, your prayers have been appreciated. I’ll keep you all in my thoughts. Off to rehab. See everyone around toonville!
