Happy Anniversary Marg, Doc, Dry, Johnny, Radical-Knight, Shika, JFri, Joy, commic, Tabby, Owlsly, Akenta, Cleo!
It’s been over a year since we made the move to The Big Top.
Thank you for being such wonderful friends. Y’all are the best!!
Thank you Rob for your wonderful comic and thank you for having us here. Thank you GoComics too!
Morning TRIBE.* I always seem to hit here at the oddest times. I’m really just playing on the computer until I get sleepy enough to go for a nap.
A YEAR??? Wow.
May I just have a light breakfast of biscuits, some fresh fruit and, of course, an extra large glass of chocolate milk? [Naturally, if someone has some extra ice cream, well, I’m here.] hehehe
Good Morning Serena, Here’s your order. I just happen to have some Blue Bell Milk Chocolate and Vanilla Bean. Which would you like, or would you like some of both?
CARMY I won’t repeat what I said about you yesterday because it is not polite to make lovely ladies blush, but I will say that your menu is heavenly.. Just a nuc coffee with a little cream please as I have to get back to bed before I am discovered missing.
Good Morning TRIBE! A year ago I missed out on our good time because I wasn’t impressed with the BT script. Didn’t know the fun and friends I was missing.
Lew, thank you, I am blushing and that’s okay. You were not impolite at all. I’m glad you finally made it over to the Big Top and I’m glad you’re enjoying it all now too!
Well I’m going to call it a night(morning).
Thanks for the CocoMocha. I didn’t know whether to get it here or at the other site, but I helped myself.
I’ll answer you when I’m not so tired, LuvH8.
Happy Anniversary as well to our charter members! Yes it’s been over a year since we came to Big Top, and some of us were together MONTHS before that even!
I got a letter from DirecTV last year, saying they were cutting VERSUS from our programming package. I guess they brought it back without telling anyone. Well, I’m glad they did, otherwise I wouldn’t have seen such a good game last night. Wish I knew about it sooner though.
Good morning, tribe!~JOKE~
“I have good news and bad news,” the defense attorney calmly told his client. “First the bad news. The blood test came back, and your DNA is an exact match with that found at the crime scene.”
“Oh, no!” cried the client. “What’s the good news?”
The lawyer replied, “Your cholesterol is only 140.”
Grog - Hockey games are the only programs I watch on VERSUS. And I’m glad I had it last night. One of the best upsets in the last two decades for sure!
Good Morning Johanan, Dry, Grog and (((((rac)))))Dry, I remembered that some of us were together before we came to BT. Remember we were at that one place and then we moved to the other one? Good times! LOL
Grog, I’m glad you were able to catch that game too. I don’t watch hockey, but whatever floats your boat.
My day is going fine so far, but I have only got my son off to school and verified that my parts are in for car I need to work on later today.
My son’s school has a Holocaust survivor speaking at his school today. If I can get this car done in time, I want to try and get over there to see him peak.
♠Lonewolf♠ - It would be very interesting to listen to a Holocaust survivor in person. I’ve heard a few speak on the radio, and have read a few books, but never had the opportunity to hear one in person.
Hi, Grog! - I was having major problems the other day. I hope your network gets better.
LuvH8 - Being that they are comic strips I look at them in a humorous light.
People take things way too seriously now a days and hold onto things that are not always that important. My life moves forward albeit with a speed bump now and then. Life is way too short and I try to laugh to keep from going insane.
Rmom at least I can see the comments. They are just really slow in updating and the comics are slow to materialize. Hopefully this’ll be better by mid-day, but at this rate, I may not be able to get through my comics by mid-day!
Hi, Doc!
Now that I can go back and do some research, I’ll have to figure out when I showed up here. I joined gocomics on Oct. 28, 2008, but I don’t know when I joined the yappy nuts.
Hi, LuvH8!Doc - You can just keep that (4 letter word) there! We are supposed to get rain later today or over night here, but at least it should be above freezing. (Unless you count hail.)
Sorry I missed you Carmy! Yes our other two haunts were WTP and Prickly City. It’s a shame they discontined those strips. Haiku Ewe is back in repeats, thank goodness!
Good Morning All and Happy Anniversary. I am a little late this morning with unexpected phone calls and LilG’s mom here. Hope you all are well and happy.
DOC check the settings on your snowapult!!!!! It is only rainy, chilly and very windy here but I heard that there is a possibility of flurries. WE DON’T WANT ANY.
I’m glad it’s almost lunch time, Dry. I just started to get that feeling in my stomach. Keep it up and I’ll be reaching for the box of white cheddar cheez-its before I get there.
According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with a unique problem. A number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls into the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to clean one of the mirrors. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it into the toilet and then cleaned the mirror.
Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
Morning (or afternoon for some) and Happy Anniversary to the long timers (hate to say old timers, as I’m not that old yet. Really…)
Doc, the snow hit hard this morning, and made the drive into work less than pleasant. Should we combine the snow from my neighborhood with yours to try a second shot towards LuvH8?
Good morning, ((Tribe)), especially those who are afflicted with thoughts of snow and other four letter words…
Snow may be a distant memory on the Northern Great Plains–but we never know when our memories will come to haunt us in real life. Snow in late April? (Last year, our last snowstorm was in June 5th or 6th I believe.)
WARNING - Joke - WARNING
A guy walks into the psychiatrist’s and says, “Doctor, doctor, you’ve got to help me! I keep thinking that I’m a deck of cards!”
The shrink replies, “Sit over there and I’ll deal with you later.”
I think this one fits a couple (four?) of the tribe…
“I’m treating a patient with a split personality,” boasted a psychiatrist, “and Medicare pays for both of them!”
@ldyhwkd, I thought that any catapult from a Hollywood film had to be used with flaming missiles. I think that’s one of the rules–like the rule that any car that is in an accident near a cliff must (1) go over the cliff, preferably going airborne for at least 30 feet, and (2) burst into flames on impact.
A psychiatrist on his rounds in a mental hospital sees man sitting on the edge of his bed clutching an imaginary steering wheel and making loud train noises, “Chooo-Chooo… Whoooo-Whooooo…” as he moves his hands. “What are you doing?” inquires the doctor.
“I’m taking a train down to Barcelona,” replies the man.
Somewhat taken aback but not to be put off, the doctor moves on to the next bed where he can see some very energetic activity going on underneath the covers. When he pulls them back, he finds a naked man face down into the mattress.
“And what are you doing?” asks the doctor, a little perplexed.
“Well,” pants the man, “While he’s off to Barcelona, I’m having an affair with his wife.”
A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing “Love” stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.
His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says “I’m sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, ‘Guess who?’” “But why?” asks the man. “I’m a divorce lawyer,” the man replies.
Good afternoon, Yappy Nuts!
~JOKE~
A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. “Officer,” the man began, “I can explain.”
“No explanation needed!” snapped the Officer. “I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.”
The man tried again. “But Officer, I have to tell you something.”
“Just keep quiet! You’re going to jail and I’m not interested in what you have to say!” the Officer barked.
A few hours later the Officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you the chief is at his daughter’s wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.”
“Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom.”
~Warning! Engineer Joke Ahead!~
Three engineers were in the bathroom standing at the urinals. The first engineer finished and walked over to the sink to wash his hands. He then proceeded to dry his hands very carefully. He used paper towel after paper towel and ensured that every single spot of water on his hands was dried. Turning to the other two engineers, he said, “At Hewlett Packard, we are trained to be extremely thorough.”
The second engineer finished his task at the urinal and he proceeded to wash his hands. He used a single paper towel and made sure that he dried his hands using every available portion of the paper towel. He turned and said, “At Lockheed-Martin, not only are we trained to be extremely thorough, but we are also trained to be extremely efficient.”
The third engineer finished and walked straight for the door, shouting over his shoulder, “At Apple Computer, Inc. we don’t pee on our hands.”
I figured I’d better post jokes while I’ve got the time.
As a registered nurse on an open-heart surgery team, I’m sometimes summoned to the hospital for emergencies. Called in for a chest trauma at two o’clock one morning, I threw on my clothes and was dismayed to find that my husband, a casket salesman, had parked his station wagon behind my car. With no time to waste, I jumped in the station wagon and sped toward the hospital, only to be pulled over by a police car. When I told the officer why I had been speeding, he gave me a warning and turned to go, but suddenly stopped. It was then I remembered there was a casket in the back. The officer looked at me expectantly. “It’s my husband’s.”
Telemarketer Joke
Hoping to make some money on sales commissions, I took a job as a telemarketer. With a prepared script and a list of 300 names, I started my calls. “Congratulations,” I’d say. “You’ve just won a Christmas ham.” For four hours, as soon as I got the opening pitch out of my mouth, the prospects hung up. Meanwhile, the other telemarketers were making sales right and left. When my supervisor came by to check on my progress, I asked what I was doing wrong.
“Perhaps it’s the list,” he said, handing me another one. “You’ve been calling the members of Temple Israel.”
Three engineers and three accountants were traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants each bought tickets and watched as the three engineers bought only one ticket.
“How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?” asked one accountant.
“Watch and you’ll see,” answered an engineer.
They all boarded the train. The three engineers all crammed into one rest room and closed the door behind them. The accountants found seats where they could watch the restroom. Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around collecting tickets. He knocked on the restroom door and said, “Ticket, please.” The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on. The accountants saw this and agreed it was a quite clever idea.
So, after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they got to the station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers didn’t buy a ticket at all.
“How are you going to ride without a ticket?” asked one perplexed accountant.
“Watch and you’ll see,” answered an engineer. When they boarded the train, the three accountants crammed into a restroom and the three engineers crammed into another one nearby. The train departed. Shortly afterward, one of the engineers left his restroom and walked over to the restroom where the accountants were hiding.
He knocked on the door and said, “
Ticket, please!”
An Accountant, an Engineer and an Attorney met over lunch at the local cafe. When the waitress left the food bill on the table, the Engineer was the first to grab it. He stated, “Let me review this and I will make sure that each of us pays the correct amount.”
The Accountant snatched the bill from the Engineer and said, “Wait a minute, I can maximize the deduction so that Uncle Sam subsidizes this entertaining meal.”
Then the Attorney, grabbed the bill and laughed. “Rookies - You’re both full of it. Just pretend that you are choking and I will show how to pay for your summer home at the lake!”
You’ve got to realize - I worked in Accounting until kids came along. My hubby is an engineer, and with Wichita being the Air Capital of the World, we know LOTS of engineers. (My hubby isn’t talkative, so at least he doesn’t bore people by talking “shop” like some engineers we know.)
JOKE
To meet a project deadline, my programmers worked overtime for several weeks. On the final evening, one woman said, “Boss, do you have a copy of the latest IRS tax regulations? There’s something I want to look up.”
“What’s that?” I asked. “Use of the office as a home.”
cleo I thought you were gone. It’s X-Files tonight & tomorrow.
My next movie will be It’s a Gift (W.C. Fields).
It Happened One Night was a great movie. I particularly loved the hitchhiking scene. I need to get a DVD copy for my next viewing though. There’s a lot of background noise on my VHS copy in a number of scenes. Hopefully they’ve cleaned it up some for the DVD transfer.
Rmom, I can relate to that last joke. I often wished I had a cot in my office.
When the work day is over I try to leave it in the office except for those times when I have to take it home. My boss on the other hand always talks shop when we’re on road trips.
I know very few accountants to talk “shop” with non-accounting people, but engineers seem to not realize that not everyone else cares about the mechanics of how something works.
So true, Rmom I work with a bunch of engineers at my plant. All I can say about engineers are they are better than being stuck with a room full of HR people.
Dry, you may be right, but I think he eats, drinks sleeps work 24/7. There are people like that. It’s very difficult to get him to talk about his other interests, even his 2 dogs - except to say he’s got to take them to the vet or kennel
Also my boss is not the shy type. I am (ISTJ). When I get off work, I prefer to talk about anything else but work. I have a number of other interests that keep me occupied and that I enjoy talking about.
One could be borderline. It is possible for one to be more comfortable in one environment over another. For example how you would react in a conference room vs a party.
Grog - You are SO right about computer nerds, although many times that is a sub-set of engineers. My husband is a computer geek, but at least his introvert side keeps him from discussing it. However, my oldest son is an extrovert AND a computer geek. It isn’t so bad when his dad is around to listen to him, but when I have to substitute, it is hard to keep my eyes from glazing over! I’ve been using computers since punchcards, but I’m also of the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset when it comes to computers. Therefore, it is hard for me to be too sympathetic when his computer crashes, and it is one that he’s been doing a lot of strange things to it. (Like having two or more operating systems, for an example.)
Rmom, My best friend is an extroverted computer nerd. Fortunately, he, too, had other interestes so that we wouldn’t be talking computer babble all night!
Ladywolf, It was probably one of the most exciting games I’ve ever seen. The Caps had them out-played all game long, but goaltending & good defense won it for Montreal.
There is a link to the new stop sign in Washinton on page 1 I believe.
Grog - Maybe that’s the problem with my son. I don’t think we share any interests other than talking. My youngest & I like to discuss politics & theology. The two boys will discuss Si-Fi & superheroes with each other. At least I seem to have a good relationship with my oldest son, as long as I’m not discussing work he needs to be doing.
~JOKE ALERT~
A distraught patient phoned her doctor’s office. Was it true, the woman wanted to know, that the medication the doctor had prescribed was for the rest of her life? She was told that it was. There was a moment of silence before the woman continued, “I’m wondering, then, just how serious my condition is. This prescription is marked ‘no refills’.”
That’s what I decided on Doc. I had a nicely stacked corned beef & ham & pepper jack cheese with sweet hot mustard & kosher dill pickles. Mmm Mmmm, good!
Grog - Well, it isn’t so bad to talk about when both people have the same views. I don’t tend to talk about either subject with people that I know have the opposing viewpoint, unless they bring it up.
You bet, Dry. In fact I was just thinking about going downstairs to get some.
Doc I need my condiments. I love my pepper jack, and when I’m having corned beef I have to have dill slices on top. And don’t forget the mustard. I have a few varieties that I have to decide on. I put it all on a wheat kaiser and stick in the microwave for about 50 seconds
Doc, as much as I think we must be related in some distant way, our food habits are diametrically opposed. I have to eat good healthy, tasty, prepared at home food to be happy. But, we do share the love of extra strong coffee, although we go about it in different ways. My morning cup is a individual french press that is porous, placed in my cup and loaded with 5 Tbls. of coffee. I pour hot water into the porous container until my cup is full. I let it steep for five minutes and then consume.
Tonight we continue watching the movie **The Young Victoria” a period piece which usually has me backing away as if pursued by muggers, but we shall see.
Grog, I too have my unhealthy, prepared at home, indulgences, but yes, it is nice to know at what level you are pursuing your unhealthy choices. I stay away from high fructose corn syrup, for one. The only item I consume that contains it is, on rare occasion, Heinz ketchup.
That is a surprise, cleo. Fortunately, I don’t use ketchup all that often…last time I used it I think was for a cajun meatloaf…one of those unhealthy choices. :-)
Grog, I like watching classic old movies, but watching movies that portray the middle ages or Victorian era have little appeal to me. Having said that, I am the one who put this movie on our Netflix queue, so we shall see and I can only blame myself.
Grog, I have been checking ingredient labels for some time. It is amazing what you will find in them. Skeptics say high fructose corn syrup is a natural product, but it is something that I stay away from.
Movie time. I am going into the Victorian era. LOL
I’m not crazy about Victorian age stuff, either, cleo. If I see one on TCM, I look for something else to watch without even giving it a chance. How narrow-minded of me!
Milton Berle is on The Nanny He says ” I object to the electric doors in the men’s room” The judge says “That’s the elevator” Berle says, (after making the funniest face), “Better take the stairs.”

WARNING ~ Bathroom Humor Ahead!
According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with a unique problem. A number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls into the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to clean one of the mirrors. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it into the toilet and then cleaned the mirror.
Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

Good morning, ((Tribe)), especially those who are afflicted with thoughts of snow and other four letter words…
Snow may be a distant memory on the Northern Great Plains–but we never know when our memories will come to haunt us in real life. Snow in late April? (Last year, our last snowstorm was in June 5th or 6th I believe.)
WARNING - Joke - WARNINGA guy walks into the psychiatrist’s and says, “Doctor, doctor, you’ve got to help me! I keep thinking that I’m a deck of cards!”
The shrink replies, “Sit over there and I’ll deal with you later.”

bmonk about 14 years ago
@ldyhwkd, I thought that any catapult from a Hollywood film had to be used with flaming missiles. I think that’s one of the rules–like the rule that any car that is in an accident near a cliff must (1) go over the cliff, preferably going airborne for at least 30 feet, and (2) burst into flames on impact.

A psychiatrist on his rounds in a mental hospital sees man sitting on the edge of his bed clutching an imaginary steering wheel and making loud train noises, “Chooo-Chooo… Whoooo-Whooooo…” as he moves his hands. “What are you doing?” inquires the doctor.
“I’m taking a train down to Barcelona,” replies the man.
Somewhat taken aback but not to be put off, the doctor moves on to the next bed where he can see some very energetic activity going on underneath the covers. When he pulls them back, he finds a naked man face down into the mattress.
“And what are you doing?” asks the doctor, a little perplexed.
“Well,” pants the man, “While he’s off to Barcelona, I’m having an affair with his wife.”
ldyhwkd about 14 years ago

You’re going to jail and I’m not interested in what you have to say!” the Officer barked. A few hours later the Officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you the chief is at his daughter’s wedding.

~Warning! Engineer Joke Ahead!~ Three engineers were in the bathroom standing at the urinals. The first engineer finished and walked over to the sink to wash his hands. He then proceeded to dry his hands very carefully. He used paper towel after paper towel and ensured that every single spot of water on his hands was dried. Turning to the other two engineers, he said, “At Hewlett Packard, we are trained to be extremely thorough.” The second engineer finished his task at the urinal and he proceeded to wash his hands. He used a single paper towel and made sure that he dried his hands using every available portion of the paper towel. He turned and said, “At Lockheed-Martin, not only are we trained to be extremely thorough, but we are also trained to be extremely efficient.” The third engineer finished and walked straight for the door, shouting over his shoulder, “At Apple Computer, Inc. we don’t pee on our hands.”

I figured I’d better post jokes while I’ve got the time.
As a registered nurse on an open-heart surgery team, I’m sometimes summoned to the hospital for emergencies. Called in for a chest trauma at two o’clock one morning, I threw on my clothes and was dismayed to find that my husband, a casket salesman, had parked his station wagon behind my car. With no time to waste, I jumped in the station wagon and sped toward the hospital, only to be pulled over by a police car. When I told the officer why I had been speeding, he gave me a warning and turned to go, but suddenly stopped. It was then I remembered there was a casket in the back. The officer looked at me expectantly. “It’s my husband’s.”

Telemarketer Joke Hoping to make some money on sales commissions, I took a job as a telemarketer. With a prepared script and a list of 300 names, I started my calls. “Congratulations,” I’d say. “You’ve just won a Christmas ham.” For four hours, as soon as I got the opening pitch out of my mouth, the prospects hung up. Meanwhile, the other telemarketers were making sales right and left. When my supervisor came by to check on my progress, I asked what I was doing wrong. “Perhaps it’s the list,” he said, handing me another one. “You’ve been calling the members of Temple Israel.”

bmonk about 14 years ago
@Rmom, LOL–thrice!
The engineer joke reminded me of this one:
Three engineers and three accountants were traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants each bought tickets and watched as the three engineers bought only one ticket.
“How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?” asked one accountant.
“Watch and you’ll see,” answered an engineer.
They all boarded the train. The three engineers all crammed into one rest room and closed the door behind them. The accountants found seats where they could watch the restroom. Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around collecting tickets. He knocked on the restroom door and said, “Ticket, please.” The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on. The accountants saw this and agreed it was a quite clever idea.
So, after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they got to the station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers didn’t buy a ticket at all.
“How are you going to ride without a ticket?” asked one perplexed accountant.
“Watch and you’ll see,” answered an engineer. When they boarded the train, the three accountants crammed into a restroom and the three engineers crammed into another one nearby. The train departed. Shortly afterward, one of the engineers left his restroom and walked over to the restroom where the accountants were hiding.
He knocked on the door and said, “ Ticket, please!”

Grog - You are SO right about computer nerds, although many times that is a sub-set of engineers. My husband is a computer geek, but at least his introvert side keeps him from discussing it. However, my oldest son is an extrovert AND a computer geek. It isn’t so bad when his dad is around to listen to him, but when I have to substitute, it is hard to keep my eyes from glazing over! I’ve been using computers since punchcards, but I’m also of the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset when it comes to computers. Therefore, it is hard for me to be too sympathetic when his computer crashes, and it is one that he’s been doing a lot of strange things to it. (Like having two or more operating systems, for an example.)

ladywolf17 about 14 years ago
I like it cooked or raw.
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
I don’t like it cooked to death, but it must be cooked.
Did you see the link, Ladywolf?

Doc, as much as I think we must be related in some distant way, our food habits are diametrically opposed. I have to eat good healthy, tasty, prepared at home food to be happy. But, we do share the love of extra strong coffee, although we go about it in different ways. My morning cup is a individual french press that is porous, placed in my cup and loaded with 5 Tbls. of coffee. I pour hot water into the porous container until my cup is full. I let it steep for five minutes and then consume.

Nope!

My mistake Ladywolf I got it a lot later in the day than I thought. It’s on page 3.
ladywolf17 about 14 years ago
That’s okay GROG I’ll go look at it.
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
cleo, sometimes, I revert back to some unhealthy favorites, but always prepared at home. I like to control the unhealthiness.

Tonight we continue watching the movie **The Young Victoria” a period piece which usually has me backing away as if pursued by muggers, but we shall see.

Grog, I too have my unhealthy, prepared at home, indulgences, but yes, it is nice to know at what level you are pursuing your unhealthy choices. I stay away from high fructose corn syrup, for one. The only item I consume that contains it is, on rare occasion, Heinz ketchup.
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
Need a friendly push, cleo? What am I talking about? - I’d probably be running away.
ladywolf17 about 14 years ago
Come to think of it I’m waiting for May 31. When that comes around, I’ll have been here for an entire year. I won’t be a rookie anymore.
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
That is a surprise, cleo. Fortunately, I don’t use ketchup all that often…last time I used it I think was for a cajun meatloaf…one of those unhealthy choices. :-)

Grog, I like watching classic old movies, but watching movies that portray the middle ages or Victorian era have little appeal to me. Having said that, I am the one who put this movie on our Netflix queue, so we shall see and I can only blame myself.
cleokaya about 14 years ago
Grog, I have been checking ingredient labels for some time. It is amazing what you will find in them. Skeptics say high fructose corn syrup is a natural product, but it is something that I stay away from.
Movie time. I am going into the Victorian era. LOL
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
I’m not crazy about Victorian age stuff, either, cleo. If I see one on TCM, I look for something else to watch without even giving it a chance. How narrow-minded of me!

Milton Berle is on The Nanny He says ” I object to the electric doors in the men’s room” The judge says “That’s the elevator” Berle says, (after making the funniest face), “Better take the stairs.”

Hi Shika. Just passing by?
Shikamoo Premium Member about 14 years ago
How did you guess? I’m getting ready to leave tomorrow. I’m mending something.
Shikamoo Premium Member about 14 years ago
I’ll be gone a few weeks, so no more Shika’s.
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
Oh right. You won’t be here for a while if if I remember correctly.
I’m afraid you missed cleo, and I was just wondering if I should turn in.
Shikamoo Premium Member about 14 years ago
Probaly a good Idea Grog. Have you had a good day?
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
Pretty good. You?
Shikamoo Premium Member about 14 years ago
Pretty busy. I have a lot of last minute things to wrap up.
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
Goig to be a long night then?
Shikamoo Premium Member about 14 years ago
I hope not. I’m flying tomorrow. But I’m too wound up. I’ll just finish this and get the dishes done and go to bed.
Shikamoo Premium Member about 14 years ago
I guess I’d better say good night and let you do the same. Sorry I’m scarce these days. A lot happening here.
Have a good night Grog
Sorry I missed you cleo
Bye Tribe! I’ll see you when I get back, unless you see me first,right?
ladywolf17 about 14 years ago
Later Shika!
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
Well then have a good trip Shika. See you when you get back.
Since I just saw this X-Files episode, I’ll use this little dialogue between Skully & Mulder Skully: Where’s Grog? Mulder: He had to go.

Sharks beat the red wings 4 - 3 tonight. That seems so unreal. It’s hard for me to believe it.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member about 14 years ago
Sorry I just missed you Shika! But “I’ll see ya’ when I see ya’! Have a safe trip, girl!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member about 14 years ago
Goodnight Grog and Cleo!
Shikamoo Premium Member about 14 years ago
One last Shika.
Hi DRY!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY CLOSE FRIENDS AT THE TRIBE!
I have enjoyed all our parties and hope that the Raven flies again when I return. I’ll miss you all!
