    The painfully early shift has arrived.

    My couch is comfy too, and I would rather be on it. Sigh……

    Good Morning Tribe!

    Good morning and Happy Friday!! JFri thanks for the grits ((JFri))
    Hi MoPar glad to see you’re up - is a little chilly here this morning so was hard to get out of bed.

    Good Morning Tribe!

    We had to do inventory last night and everyone was worried that it was going to go into overtime.
    No such luck, even got off early.
    Just as well, I’ve been feeling punky lately and I was ready to go.
    wildcheetah is making me go to the doctor today - :(
    Hate doctors

    My condolences to the victims of the Fort Hood shooting. What a tragedy!

    Good Morning Terry
    I don’t check news until after toons, guess I should now.

  23. Doctor Toon

    Doctor ToonGenius_badge said, 14 days ago

    Wow, my condolences as well.

  24. ♠Lonewolf♠

    ♠Lonewolf♠Genius_badge said, 14 days ago

    What a shame. These guys are worried about what they will face in a combat situation and then something like this happens here. That building was the outprocessing center for deployment overseas.

    If anyone reading this is directly affected, be they Tribe or simply casual reader, the Tribal Bank of Energy and Goodwill is open and well funded.
    My life may not be perfect, but it’s pretty doggone good.
    I should remember that more often, and be thankful for everything I have going on that is so good.

    Good Morning all. My biggest furniture mistake was buying an expensive sectional sofa that was so soft you sunk right into it. At first it seemed so comfy, but prolonged use made my back ache. Now, years later, we are looking to replace our current couch and love seat and initially my wife and I were in disagreement, she wanted soft and I wanted firm until we found the Stressless couches, of which we have a chair already. Now were in disagreement over the price. LOL

    I just glanced at the headlines this morning. Two tragedies on our front page. The shootings in Texas, so horrible, and locally we had a huge 3 alarm fire that involved 100 firefighters. Whatcom Middle School, a historic school that had just undergone a massive and beautiful restoration caught fire and burned the entire top floor so badly that the roof collapsed. Now they say it’s future is in doubt. I feel so badly for the teachers and students.

    Doc - Hope you feel better.

  28. Dry

    DryGenius_badge said, 14 days ago

    Ditto Doc! We should be grateful for all we have. There’s always some one in a worse situation than we are. Yesterday’s events reminded us of that.

  29. ♠Lonewolf♠

    ♠Lonewolf♠Genius_badge said, 14 days ago

    Cleo, things like that with the loved ones is what helps to keep a relationship from getting boring. LOL

    Wow, JFri remembered me! Thanks for the eggs benedict!

  32. ♠Lonewolf♠

    ♠Lonewolf♠Genius_badge said, 14 days ago

    Doc, I echo your remarks. That is why I am so very happy just to wake up in the morning and see what I do have. I am thankfull that I do and go where I want, when I want.

  33. cleokaya

    cleokayaGenius_badge said, 14 days ago

    Terry - My marriage is anything but boring. :-)

    JFri - I believe that I will have the seafood omelet with some tomato juice with tabasco. Thank you kind sir.

    Good morning Dry

    People forget that there are people worse off than themselves. That happens all around me everyday!

    Morning, tribe! Just doing a quick check-in. I’m about 3 days behind on reading the comics. Our internet was up & down, and sluggish when up. We thought it was the provider, but I think our router is wearing out. It has been nice to have my hubby home almost all week - I got HIM to call the IP, so now he believes me when I tell him the router’s got problems.
    In about 30 minutes, I’ve got to get him up, and work on making sure everyone is properly dressed & ready to leave on time for the funeral. The family session with the pastor & the visitation at the mortuary went well yesterday. I scanned over 200 photos of my mom & my hubby made a PowerPoint presentation out of them. Played it during the visitation, and it is to be played at the funeral while people are coming in & then leaving. It was so great to remember the days when Mom could really enjoy life (& help others to enjoy it as well).
    Doc - Can you hold off on the bad weather until next week? I’ve got some relatives coming in from Colorado, and I don’t want them driving on ice, or getting stuck in snow. We’re supposed to have a high 74 F today & sunny, with 25 mph winds. As long as the tent doesn’t blow over at the graveside, it should be a good day.

    Cleo–My relationship is the same. That’s why I mentioned it!!! It’s not boring and I am very lucky!!!! That deserved bold print!!

    Good Morning cleo and Dry

    I had a couch that was more comfortable to sleep on than most beds.
    It was getting old and pretty much falling apart, but still comfortable to sleep on.
    When my ex and I split up, I didn’t have a bed at first.
    Made a singe sleeper floor futon out of the couch cushions.
    That was my bed for most of the first year here.

    Doctor ToonGenius_badge said, 14 days ago

    Good Morning Rmom
    After all the snow, now we’re having unusually warm fall weather here.
    Can’t promise how long it will last.

    cleokayaGenius_badge said, 14 days ago

    Rmom - It’s a tough day for you. My thoughts are with you and your family.

  40. Rmom

    Rmom said, 14 days ago

    Doc - The forecast for here shows highs in the 70s for this weekend & a few showers for Monday, but high around 60. The following days only show occasional clouds and highs in the 50s, so nothing terrible looking in the next 10 days. You can have winter back on Monday, as long as you keep it!

  41. cleokaya

    cleokayaGenius_badge said, 14 days ago

    Well, we definitely got the storm as promised yesterday. Lots of rain and wind. Your weather must not have been able to get across the Rockies.

  42. Rmom

    Rmom said, 14 days ago

    Thanks, cleo. I think today will be much more enjoyable than the last couple of years. It was so hard losing Mom a little bit at a time. Now I know she’s having a great time, and especially the way she was at the end, I wouldn’t wish for her to have to stay that way a moment longer. It was fun telling the pastor all the pranks Mom loved to pull. I think April Fool’s Day was her favorite holiday.

    RMom Hope everything goes well for you.

    Since Mom died on Halloween night - around the time trick or treaters would be out, my husband suggested one last prank for Mom while we were waiting for the mortuary to come. We could have put Mom on the front porch swing, place a bowl of candy by her, and the trick or treaters could have gotten a little more than they bargained for! (Of course we didn’t, but Mom would probably have thought that was funny, too!)

  45. Rmom

    Rmom said, 14 days ago

    Mom liked to make what we’ve dubbed “cotton ball macaroons” for April Fool’s Day. Take a cottonball, dip it in whipped egg whites, coat it with coconut, place on a cookie sheet, and bake until it starts to brown. My sister made some (with Mom’s approval) for the home health aide this year for April 1. The aide came twice a week to bathe Mom, so it wasn’t like she was a complete stranger. My sis put the tray of cottonball macaroons in Mom’s bedroom, and then when the aide was there, offered them to the aide. Mom enjoyed watching the aide’s reaction! (Mom could do a lopsided smile.)

    Good Morning Rmom & Digital Frog!

  47. Rmom

    Rmom said, 14 days ago

    Thanks, Dfrog. I do think today will actually be a rather fun day. Getting to see relatives & friends that we don’t get to see very often, reliving the good memories that Mom helped make, it isn’t something that I dread. Now, my sons & hubby wearing suits & ties may be something that THEY dread, but I like seeing them look so sharp for a change.
