Big Top by Rob Harrell for September 18, 2009

Good morning Tribe! Here’s breakfast… Home made pancakes with whipped cream an strawberries accompanied by Canadian bacon and maple syrup. Topped by a fried egg. Freshly squeezed orange juice and of course, DocT’s nuclear coffee. For those who prefer them, wheat germ muffins or crumpets with butter and honey . Or perhaps Quaby left some Krispy Kremes in the corner?

Good Morning Tribe!!

Terry, Did you leave too? I am finally able to sit up for a while without too much discomfort so I stopped in to find out that pigs do fly - or do they?

A quick breakfast menu and then off to Zzzzzzzzzland!!

Eggs, your choice(cheese available on request) Bacon, sausage patties or links, ham Texas or wheat toast Hash browns with onions and green pepper Asst juices Decaf coffee or Doc’s* Nuclear coffee

Enjoy the meal.

Add to the menu as you wish!!

Sorry Dawn

We’ve got two breakfast menus!

(((((((Dawn)))))))

I am headed to Zzzzzland though!

Good Night Dawn

I hope you get to feeling better dear!!

Peace &Love TRIBE!

Tabby, I, for one, am glad you feel you can be yourself with the Tribe and not worry about all the spelling conventions. You have enough of that in school. Hope your essay went well. Just remember that as long as you back up your arguments with logic and if possible quotations (or others’ ideas for which you give credit ) and give it a strong conclusion you should do well. *DF* is right - format can give you ten percent more.

Thanks Terry. I see that is what the friends in the Tribe are calling you. I’m feeling much better now than I was a week ago! Old age is NOT fun!

‘Morning Bigg! GOod to “see” you!

‘Morning Dawn Avril, Terry, and bigg. Sounds like you’re under the weather, Dawn. Please take care of yourself.

Back in for a quick second, then off to bed!!

Dawn–Terry is fine for you and the Tribe friends. It’s a long story!! LOL

Good Morning Bigg!!

Old age IS NOT fun, I know!!

Now I am off to bed!!

Oh Yeah!!

Good Morning Marg

(((((((Marg)))))))

Good Night All!!

Morning, Marg. I’ve had a big problem with a back problem that has affected the nerves in my lower body as well as arthritis that has plagued me for several years. Unfortunately learned that surgery is not an option - too many things wrong that could be worsened. Sitting is very uncomfortable. Ah well, I’m feeling better tonight than I have for several weeks.

‘Night Terry

(((((Terry)))))

Well, I’m off to bed! Sleep well

((((((Tribe)))))

Goodnight, Terry and Dawn. Sorry about your back troubles, Dawn. :-(

Good morning and Happy Friday!! For those who’ll celebrate it tonight - Happy New Year.

dawn and lonewolf thanks for the breakfast. Since it’s Friday, I’ll add in grits.

MOPAR, WAKE UP!!

Good Morning Tribe! Thanks for breakfast Dawn and Terry! Yum Yum!! (((((((Dawn))))))) hope you get to feeling better very soon. Morning, Akenta!

Poor Wink, I hope Dazzle remembers her promise. Okay, they have the flying pig, now they need a flying donkey!

Doc, the horrors of horrors, you’re lucky it didn’t mutate! I hope you don’t ever forget your coffee again. Good Morning to ya!

Caffeine addiction…not me, I can quit anytime I want. If you believe that, let me tell you about the oil wells I’m selling in TEXAS!

comics. i can drink coffee when i’m doing other things. i can’t read comics when i’m doing other things. still, i read comics! (and more often than i drink coffee) (and even though i should be doing other things)

I’d have to flip a coin on that, Doc. If the coin lands on it’s edge, I won’t have to quit either one!

hi Carmy and Doc T thanks for brekkie DawnAvril and Terry special thanks to Dry for recommendations in Ithaca. i was too busy last night looking up tourist info to read up on all the posts, but i did finish page two. time for catch up on the toons. bbl

Morning, yyyguy! Enjoy your toon run, that’s where I’m going now…zoomm.

Good morning all! Had a softball game last night. It was going well, but then it didn’t, and we lost. May have been my fault… Ah well, moving on.

Just popped in to say howdy!

Good morning all!

You’d have a tougher time up here Doc, our Mountain Dew isn’t caffeinated.

Tabby - I want to apologize if I hurt your feelings. You are so sweet, I would never want to hurt you. I wasn’t laughing at YOU, I was laughing at what you SPELLED. (You’ve got to admit, “puppy dong eyes” gives an entirely different mental image than “puppy dog eyes” which I knew what was you meant.) People can make fun of how much (and the way) I talk or how klutzy I am all day long, and I don’t take offense. Sorry, if your spelling is a sore spot. (Just like my weight is with me.) I’ll not joke about it again.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. While I don’t have breast cancer, I do have colon cancer and I am still undergoing chemo treatments, I’m already having these problems.

Women who survive breast cancer often have to adapt their lives to cope with “chemobrain” – symptoms such as memory loss, loss of concentration or other cognitive changes – after their treatment, a new report says.

Survivors of other cancers have also reported cognitive problems, but the study only addressed breast-cancer survivors.

Wow, Carmy, I can only pray for you the harder then. You seem sharp as a tack to me. Hang in there.

(((((((((((Carmy))))))))))))

((((Carmy)))) I’ve never had cancer, but it sounds like my symptoms too. (My kids are always asking “Mom, do you need Aricept?”)

(((Carmy)))

if i forget the proper word, or term, or whatever, i blame it on having too much in there to search through. (or on my thoughts running faster than my mouth can speak.)

Thanks for the hugs, johnny, Doc and RRA! I’ve never heard of Aricept, is that a memory enhancer medication? I wouldn’t take it. johnny, I have to constantly write notes to myself to stay in the loop. It’s bad when I jot down a note and I can’t remember what it was about. LOLS! Now I try to be very detailed in my notes. Doc, I can blame the 70’s and 80’s too.

Morning all!

yyyguy did those links work for you?

Thanks yyyguy! Do you find it easier to remember numbers, I do (usually).

(((((((((((((((((((carmy))))))))))))))))))

Having a poor memeory also means you have too many things to do and too many things to remember to do!

I have notes taped to my microwave, stapled around my purse strap, taped by the coffee pot, I consider myself to be a normal human, ROFLMAO!!

G’day, all the TRIBE!!

DawnAvril said, about 9 younger hours ago

“I’m feeling much better now than I was a week ago! Old age is NOT fun!”

No, old age is not for wimps.

But then, I asks myself, what’s the alternative? And where’s the fun in that, before you have to go?

Doc, it says,” DON’T FORGET TO WAKE UP DOC!”

Dry the links did help, i need to go more in depth (i.e. take longer to read them more thoroughly) but i still have a bit of time. also, i would have figured the note on your bugle to say, ”TOOT” but that’s just me.

Sorry Wink, now Ima and Dazzle are gonin to be makin bacon ! To add to breakfast for sure !

Carmy i’ve had a facility with numbers as long as i can remember. math was always my strongest subject in school days. i work in inventory control, and constantly amaze my coworkers by multiplying things like qty per box times number of boxes per case times cases in the locator without using a calculator. i know most people don’t do that sort of thing very well, but i’ve always been good at it.

Hope when the Bacon soars, Barkeater Lake’s Banks (the bacon-addicted dog) won’t get a treat…

Edit: alas, the strip is due to end on the last day of October. And we’ve missed a few weeks more due to the author’s business, being concerned with this “real life” so many are involved in. Pshaw!

Hi Red and Rad (thought i missed you, didn’t you Rad.) Carmy due to the fact that i’m a constant reader, i also have a huge vocabulary. once i discovered trivia, i found i could remember all sorts of useless things that few people care about. my mind is the opposite of Sherlock Holmes neatly ordered storeroom of things that only applied to his work. it’s a totally haphazard clutter of an attic, which is what makes things hard to find at times.

yyyguy make sure you do a walking tour of the Cornell campus. It is beautiful with the waterfalls, etc. and be sure you stand on the hill and gaze out over the countryside. What a view! And if you’re into this, don’t forget the Cornell Plantations!

also the reason for the “yyyguy” moniker. part brainiac, part 3 stooges.

sorry to get windy, Tribe thanks for putting up with me

yyyguy, that’s a great skill you have. I have found that usually people are really good with names or numbers, sometimes both.

(((((((Dry))))))) from one forgetful note writer to the other!

@yyyguy, the fun and wonder of such a cluttered warehouse of a mind is all the oddly appropriate things that can pop out, given the right stimulus.

On the other hand, more often than not, people just give me looks that clearly say, “Weirdo!” (or worse). [Sigh]

yyyguy, that’s why you love to do crossword puzzles, etc. I used to also and it helped me retain lots of info. I’ve been to busy lately to keep up with that. I would do the daily crossword and Sudoku all the time.

Dry i’ve seen the National Geographic link to the wine tour, but i’m not much of a wino (yes, i know it should be oenophile). i’ll probably check out one or two that have good views. i also intend to visit Taughannock Falls. (if i can hike the 20 minutes along the trail. last time i took a “brief 10 minute walk” it wound up being almost straight up the mountain to get to the lookout for Peytoe Lake.) my nephew will probably provide a few other options. i figure, 1 day to drive there, 1 day to return, and 3 days to look around - though i will have some time on the days i arrive and depart as well. it’s about a 5 hour trip (per mapquest).

bmonk i’ve seen that look many a time! LOL (my nieces tell me i’m weird right to my face - but i know they adore me so i don’t mind.) Carmy it’s actually puzzle time now. comics aren’t the only thing i need to catch up on.

@yyyguy, they say my grandfather, back in the days when storeclerks had to add up the prices to figure out the total, regularly had the correct change out before the clerk figured what the total was. He had added the numbers in his head, reading them upside down.

Terry - glad to see you’ve stopped vanishing before our eyes.

Carmy - all the best to you, will keep you in my prayers.

Welcome to the metallic years…silver in the hair, gold in the teeth and lead in the pants.

bmonk my Dad is the same way (as am I, though it isn’t saying that much these days, where no one seems to learn anything “by heart” any more).

does anyone remember “times tables” or phonics?

yyyguy, I, too, found numbers to be my strong point, and that vat of useless information often gives people the misconception that I am smart. Speaking of useless trivia, Sherlock Holmes’ place was apparently quite cluttered, I was just reading the chapter where Dr. Watson is at his wits’ end with all the clutter and finally demands that he clean it up. So you can be proud to be similar to Holmes in that regard too.

hi saucy johnny Holmes had a very cluttered abode, but his mind was as orderly as anything could be (“A Study in Scarlet” provides the passage i cited above, though i believe the phrase used was “lumber room” rather than “attic”)

@yyyguy, I remember both. Not that the times tables did me that much good, as I recall. I’m the sort of person who can cause a calculation to go wrong simply by being in the same room. Now, reportedly there are famous mathematicians who cannot calculate to save their life, and can even cause others to miscalculate by being nearby. I have everything but the fame.

also, there is a big difference between intelligence and wisdom. my brother-in-law used to say i was a smart guy who occasionally did dumb things. i know i’ve gained some wisdom over the years. the biggest thing i learned was that you don’t need to be smart to be wise.

I’m w/yyyguy on the brain cluttered w/trivial items that someone somewhere may be interested in sometime. Mine gets dusty but spiders don’t have time to set up housekeeping so it’s not as bad as it once was.

Deposit to the bank & then off to a walking tour of toon-town. All have a great weekend!

☼ ♪ ♫ ☼ ♥ ♦ ☼

Ah, I haven’t quite gotten that far in the book yet. My mistake. Anyone can be intelligent (though many aren’t), common sense goes a lot further. Welp, I got another class to get to. All in this endeavor to get a better job so I don’t have to work as hard as everyone else, and can retire earlier, when I am too tired and old to do anything that I want to do now. Ain’t life great!

johnny you are far too young to be a cynic! That comes when you get to be my age!!! :-D

Good day to all. Now that I can post comments again; muy buenos días.

nice to hear from you Yukon. too bad i can’t stay. RL (read “work”) calls and i must answer. TTFN

(((Tribe)))

Hey, Tribe, we aren’t the only ones who have coffee malfunctions!

Nor are we the only Yappy bunch out there!

Yes, DocT – Arf ARF ARF arf!

I believe laughter is a gift from God. tabby, your misspelling was funny to some and and the humor that resulted involved the misspelling, not you. There have been times when other people here have misspelled words, laughter was shared and a good time was had by all. Perhaps you were embarassed by what you wrote, so I’m sorry if I embarassed you further. I believe in laughter. I believe in being silly. I believe a person cannot be completely healthy if they can’t just let go and belly laugh. Laugher is very healing. Learning to laugh is a baby’s first job, and learning to laugh at oneself is the first step in realizing a very basic connection to the rest of the human race. I hope you understand what I’m saying and forgive me.

Hi Doc! Pull my paw..

TOOT!

LOL!

Sleep well, DocT! Howdy Tribe. Thanks for the wishes everyone - they help.

((((Carmy))))

I’m sure the chemo must wreak havoc on everything - you certainly seem to cope very well, though. I think the comics help, and so does the Tribe. To choose between Big Top and coffee -

Never!!!

Not even when pigs fly!

Good Afternoon/Morning Tribe!!

I am running late today. Last night’s sleep was not good. Severe headache most of the night. Even kept little wolfangil awake. I despise headaches or any apin to my head/face area!!

HI Johnny, Dry, Yukoneric, Ma’at, Yguy, Saucy, Bmonk, Doc, RedHatt, & Carmy!!

Hello to anyone else I might have missed!!

Good Night Doc–Enjoy the night off my friend, you deserve it!!

(((((Carmy & Dawn)))))

((((Terry))))

hope it’s not the flu - or is it med related?

I’m late, I’m late for a very important date!

Cy’all l8tr

Dawn–Med related for sure!!

(((DAWN))) (((TABBY))) (((CARMY)))

Hi Lonewolf! Just you and me, huh? Care to teach a young cub some new tricks? LOL!

Sorry about your headache.. (sending healing licks to your head…)

See you later Dawn!

Oh, wait - Dawn’s still here…

…or she’s not…

I see Dcguys was here. Good to see you. Been a while me thinks!

Hi again! Dry, I’ve been a cynic for four years now. There is an interesting correlation there, but we’ll not worry about that. I am always the most positive pessimist you’ll ever meet… …or is that most negative optimist… :)

Well Hello Ma’at–I was just getting ready to run and attempt to get some things done!

Hey Johnny–Well put my man!!

Hey Terry and Ma’at It would appear that I just missed Dawn.

Something joggled her mind to rememeber an appt!

Do you still have more classes today, Johnny?

Off to make it look as if I am accomplishing something here!! LOL BBL

hey johnny, terry, dawn, ma’at

Night doc! good thing I put that note on my bugle!

Nope, I;m done for the week, Terry. Hi Dry

Where’d everybody go???

I think RL called, and everyone hung up…

I try to hang up on RL but it just keeps calling. Sometimes answering is better than letting it go to voice mail. Today is one of those days so here’s another deposit for those who need it.

*♪ ☺ ☻ ♥ ♪ ♫ ☼

Yeah, I’ve had days like that.

Here’s my deposit for them as needs it….

Carmy said: Women who survive breast cancer often have to adapt their lives to cope with “chemobrain” – symptoms such as memory loss, loss of concentration or other cognitive changes – after their treatment…

Heck I suffer from that all on my own! Yesterday was especially bad. I feel your pain, my sister.

(((Marg))) I hope you’re feeling better today, are you? Have you ever seen the America’s Funniest Video that shows the dog lying in a chair, chewing on a bone, he has an itch in his ear and when he starts to scratch his ear with his back paw, he starts to snarl, growl and snap at his back paw because he thinks it’s another dog’s paw trying to steal his bone? (it’s pretty hilarious!) I’ve felt that disconnected before. During one of my worst MS attacks, years before I was diagnosed and knew what was going on, I couldn’t remember to go to work, I was forgetting appts, where I parked my car, etc. I thought I was going crazy. Of course, no one else noticed anything unusual - LOL!

Finaly able to get on here. i do need to do something abou this the adds and c r a p are getting on my last nerve. and the one doc told akenta to use wont work on my computer bc i dont have the right internet. :( somone help me.

tabby HEY KIDDO! Just stopped in to check, have to be back after bit. I know you’re a struggling colege kid, but if you can become a genius for $11.99 FOR THE YEAR, you don’t get ads and you get the archives from years back on your strips. Something to think about.

PLUS you than become a GENIUS, it says so right beside your name! ROFLMAO!!!!

Although, I could never, and still can’t convince *JFri *

I’m a genius!!! :-D

LOL Dry i would love to do that, but i need to save up to buy a car and i just cant spend that for the year… if i would have to pay for all the other junk i could. it would be great.

Carmy hope your well.

i started to catch up then i gave up. my head hurts. so how are we doing today?

LOL Dry i would love to do that, but i need to save up to buy a car and i just cant spend that for the year… if i would have to pay for all the other junk i could. it would be great.

Carmy hope your well.

i started to catch up then i gave up. my head hurts. so how are we doing today?

Hello Tribe! Sorry I disappeared earlier. Had to run some errands with the hubby. We picked up daughter #3’s drum kit. She’s in beginner band. It has a xylophone, mallets, drumsticks, a practice drum pad, a stand and a music holder> Oh my poor ears! Daughter #2 is in symphonic and she plays the flute. I may need to run away soon. Thank you everyone for the hugs and kind words. I sincerely appreciate them very much! dcguys, long time no see. Hope all is well with you! Marg, I’m so sorry you feel my pain! (((((Marg))))) Tabby, I am doing okay. I hope you are too.

I will be scarce as I have family stuff to do this evening. I’ll try to pop in later tonight.

Carmy you are always welcome to run away here. love you girl…

im going to go take a quick shower bbl

Do we dare ask Why is the Rum Gone? Maybe this will start a party??

Carmy You may be surprised! Our oldest took up the clarinet in 5th grade, at first it was BAD but he got to be VERY VERY good at it! Unfortunately, he didn’t go into high school concert band, but he still played on his own here at home. Now after graduating college, he wishes he had done it different. Point being, your kids may surprise you and be VERY GOOD and you will enjoy it!! :-D

good evening Tribe

Dry I think we got some more to help you wake up doc - carmy can they make a racket?

Speaking of parties, I don’t see mopar - his birthday is Monday, guess we shouldn’t start it early without him. ((Mopar))

Well look who FINALLY SHOWED UP!!!*

HI AKENTA!

Great idea, didn’t think of that! Carmy get those girls of yours ready!!!

Hi Dry - I know I’ve been scarce in the evenings :-( I’ll try and be better, but no promises.

Dry she just dosen’t love us as much anymore. :0P lol

Well Lynn it was a good one. it was a little crazy, but whats new. how was your day?

Tabby it was not bad. wonder where everybody went to… its quite for a friday night.

Lynn i do belive you are right it is quite for a friday night, maybe they all went out for once or they are takeing breaks.

Tabby, or they are sitting back watching laughing there backsides off.

Lynn, there again you have a point. i wonder. maybe we should get out the horns and such… what do you think about that?

Tabby, here you go your turn now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGI2T-juZ04

Hi, tabby! It has been a long day for me. I just now finished up my comic rounds, and will be heading to bed soon. I hope you read my apology I wrote this morning.

Lynn, very nice very nice here you go.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-mXOWaySeQ

Carmy - Aricept is a prescription drug to slow the progression of dementia.

rmom yes i did see it. Thank you.

Tabby, im starting to get confused here…. why is no one coming to find out what all the racket is?

Lynn, i am unsure about that myself… what should we do now? maybe call the cats? or get the trash cans… who knows. not me for sure.

Tabby, i dont get it but here is one about trash cans.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phWVVb1Y2Qg

Night Tribe

Sorry I can’t stay up and chat. I’m exhausted. BB tomorrow!

Hello all!!

Been trying to get some RL issues done.

Who’s all left?

going walk bbl

Good Night Akenta Good Night RRAmom

Funny clip Tabby

That’s why I decided to get some work done. I get here and everyone’s gone. And I am NOT talking to myself!!!

(Really?) (Nope, I’m not) (OK, then leave!) (I am—Bye!!) (Good bye to you too!!)……………………………………….

Lonewolf IM BACK!!!! sorry i need to get out of the house.

i dont want to talk to myself again so someone show up please.

Hi Tabby–I’m on this thig-a-ma-jig!

LONEWOLF!!!!*

Hi buddy ol pal

Tabby–Where are you?????

Where is everybody tonight? This place is empty!!

Lonewofl im here… so is Lynn. lol

it is empty i was going crazy talking to lynn she was fun and all but i like to have more then one person. it gets boring if you only talk to one person

now who is running off?

This is unusual for it to be this empty on a Friday night. I don’t know if I’ll make it to the turnover. Last night I was up all night with what I guess was a migraine headache. I don’t know cause I’ve never had one before. I guess it’s from the meds!!

Who’s running, it’s just you and I!!

what did it feel like L ? did it hurt to be in the light? sound? and moving? if so yep that was a migraine. oh and did you want to toss up your stomach?

did you see i said it was unusual for it to be like this earlyer wehn i was talking to lynn, or maybe lynn said that to me. idk. lol

Oh yeah, you, Lynn & me, myself and I!!!! LOL

LOL i bet i had you laughing didnt i? if not i need to figure out how to do so. maybe take lessons from Jfri or something. lol

Everything you mentioned except tossing up my stomach. My stomach was fine but the light and sound were both extremely painful!!!

you did indeed have one. i get them all the time the more extreem ones is when you toss up your stomach. lol i get them not as often. the only thing to do then is to lay donw in the dark with no noise at all. for like 12 hours sometime 8 normaly till you can move again and think without your head hurting. mine get so bad my eyes feel like they are going to fall out, my head is pounding and feels like its on fire. and this happens on a reg basies. its just lovely let me tell you.

That’s it!! Bingo, bingo, bingo!! Do you have meds for them?

dued? where did you go?? hello

Right here dear girl!!

NOPE my father does not think i have problesm he thinks they are just plane old every day head aches…. well the doc said you should not have headaches every day and gave me butt loads of pamplets on them… getting throug them slowly. lol they just make it hurt worse.

LOL sorry i was afraid i had scared you off. im good at that you know.

i bet DRY or Carmy will pop in and get first in a little while

Where are all the batty Tribesters??

Tabby–I can’t be frightened that easy.

LOL!! now if they are “batty” what are we? heck what am I???? :0P

Dry, Carmy, the five(Tabby, Lynn, Me, Myself & I) we have here now are getting restless!!!

I’m losing it and Tabby’s not far behind!! ROFLMAO

WE ARE PART OF THE BATTY TRIBESTERS DEAR!!

LOL not far at all i can almost reach him. LOL

My lovely ladies come out form hiding its safe…

where is marg she has not been here yet tonight. :0(

LOL i thought we would be worse off seeing as we have been the main party for what 3 hours or so?

I need to take care of something. Be back in about 15-20 minutes, Tabby.

Where have what gone?

Edit: “have” is supposed to be a hyperlink to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYii6nxhvUk

Dcguys welcome to the 5 “man” party. hows it going?

lonewolf hurry back. :0(

Have a good evening/morning all! P&L!

I haven’t seen any “Dear Tabby” columns lately. Anything interesting coming in the mail?

Of course, this is never the case for me… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQiJdf-ebIs

Dcguys i havent seen any either… i wonder sometimes, if they remember that i am “Dear Tabby” … who knows.

i could use a good case.. like the guy who wasn’t a father but pretended he had a kid. lol good days good days.

how have you been?

Seriously…good nite. Y’all don’t want me to cook breakfast!

good days is right. i’m well. i’m glad u don’t let the headaches or much of anything get you very far down. u seem to bounce back no matter what! you’ve got a great heart! we appreciate that you share it with us!

DC has been the usual hot, then cool, then humid, then rainy. it’s one of the original places that ‘if u don’t like the weather…wait 5 minutes’ truly applies!

*Dc* im touched. thanks. you are great.

I havent heard “to much time on my hands” in a while thanks for that one… i had no hw to do so i got to play on here for the first time in a while..

night sleep well

Did lovers really fall in love to stay? Stand beside each other come what may? Was a promise really something people kept, Not just something they would say and then forget? Did families really bow their heads to pray? Did daddies really never go away? Whoa oh Grandpa, Tell me ‘bout the good ole days
