Hey, where’s the 42 comments that were on here already last night?
Bagels today, and french toast with fresh red raspberries.

gmartin - Congratulations on first.
marg - I think everyone went to bed early last night.
I wasn’t here for most of yesterday, but it sounded like the Yappy Nuts were having fun.
Think they were all just too tuckered out to party anymore.
With a smile on my face and a spring in my step I’m off to wander Toonland for a while.
Someone better wake up soon or I’m calling out the orchestra.

serenasakitty said, 4 months ago
This is strange. Usually when I stop for a visit there is at least a page of comments to go through, not just three.
Doctortoon, you must be right that everyone was having way too much fun.
I brought some fresh cinnamon buns to add to breakfast.
I also want to make a HUGE deposit to the bank.I’ve had to draw on it pretty heavily lately. My husband had been laid off a couple of weeks ago, but now he has gotten another job. At least this one is in Alberta so he doesn’t have to be away from home so long.
Before my manners completely desert me, good morning gmartin, Margueritem amd Doctortoon. As well as any others who are around or will de today.

I’ll take a cinnamon bun too, thanky.
Josh - It has been a very quiet morning, most strange.

Morning all. I have been having this nagging feeling that our little Tribe is going to be forced to be disassembled by the powers that be. I hope that it is my just my own sense of insecurity and not some portent of things to come.
Enough of my negative thoughts. It is another beautiful day here in paradise. My goal is to try to do as little as possible today.
doctortoon - please, please, please don’t sing.

What?!? How can anyone survive without Oprah & bon bons? Oh…I guess that I am surviving quite well without either. I guess that I have been released into the wild. So, does that make me a wild and crazy guy.

Good Morning Tribe.
Before I start my morning devotions (rather late) I dropped in to say hello.
Congrats gmartin1 The first one has the honours of making breakfast.
Serena : Congratulations to your and your husband. I’ll have a cinnamon bun with my coffee for now. Thanks!
Morning Doc Glad you had a great night. See you later.
Morning Digital! Good to see you back. It takes time to get used to a new job. Hope it goes well.
Morning marg, Jfri and Josh and carmy!

DAAAAAAAHH Strip:
Well, she does have a point there, ‘bout the Oprah-Torture.
The Bon-Bons are just a matter of how much sugar he can “bear”.
Dawn said, 4 months ago
Morning everyone,
Just passing through. On holiday and not much computer time.
Hi to everyone including the ones I haven’t seen before. And congrats D-F and Serena’s Husband.
Thanks for the breakfast, too.
I can do without both Oprah and Bon-Bons - just leave me with
Chocolate
Dawn said, 4 months ago

Doctor Toon

chromosome - This group has evolved a bit since it’s early days. You can thank Joy and Dry for being the original two Yappy Nuts. The rest of us have joined in along the way. It is a great group of people.
Risitas - Always appreciate you reminding us there is a comic at the top of the page.
LOL
Dawn - Chocolate is a magic word, it always gets my attention.
Quaby said, 4 months ago
Good morning Tribe. No Krispy Kreams today, even my imagination is coughing too much to exit the house. If I’m not better tomorrow I’m calling El Doctore.
Serena Congradulations to hubby on his new job and thanks for the Karma deposit. I’m withdrawing a chunk of that Karma to sprinkle on my spouse, who has been looking since 10/08 for the elusive employment.
Despite being under the weather I have been able to get a little bit done mostly processing old mai (shredding). It’s rather mindless and not tiring.
No breakfast for me..unless there is some soup hanging around. I’ll try to keep checking back.
Carmy
said,

chromosome, hope you visit again soon!
Morning Dawn and Quaby!
Quaby, I’m making some soup and sending it over to you. Hope you feel better soon. I visit to El Doctore is a very good idea. Don’t put if off! :)
Dawn and Doc, I still can’t eat chocolate. I just tried some, blahhh! Well, at least I don’t crave it anymore either. :)

SidSnomann said, 4 months ago
I would join in more of the festivities but you all start too early. I am an old guy who needs his sleep.
Dawn said, 4 months ago
Quaby, I agree with Carmy, you should see a doc - soon!
Terry, how are you doing these days? I know you have been coughing a lot too. Did they ever find out what it is?
Shikamoo
said,
4 months ago
Before I go out for the day, here’s a deposit for the Bank for Quaby and Terry whoever needs it today.
Dry I put your sheets in the dryer for you. Knowing doc and JFri- they didn’t think of that when they changed your bed for you.
Tsk, tsk! Ice water this early in the day! Stop trying to look innocent guys, you aren’t convincing.

Quaby - A large deposit of surplus Goodwill has been deposited recently. Draw as much as you need, and see a doc (a real one, not me).
carmy - I’ll eat your share of any chocolate that comes this way.
Sid - Join us anytime, there is almost always someone here.
Shikamoo - JFri and I were just looking for a cheap peek at Dry in wet jammies, you know how men are.
Look out, we may decide to wake you tomorrow.
