Hello Big Brother Lonewolf. :-)

Sure here you go. Anything else?

Morning / Evening Folks. May I please have a smoothie before I head off to bed?

Good morning, Folks, LW18, I’ll have some of those smoked ribs, and a side of slaw!

But, it’s time to hit the hay afterward. See all you good folks on the morrow!

Good Morning Ladyhawk & MontanLady

The coffee is fine for now, Ladywolf. Maybe I’ll have something when I wake up later. Thank you!

Here you go MontanaLady Enjoy the meal. Hello and yes you may Ladyhawk

It’ll still be here for you, Big Brother Lonewolf :-)

Thank you LW18 - and thank you also for not experimenting with any of Sojo’s wierd sandwiches. I must agree with Luv that not everything is better with chocolate.

Good Morning Ladies Hawk, Wolf, and Montana

Good Morning Wolves Lone and Lady

DocNuCoffee, please, black, and a bowl of tube zithers with alfredo sauce

Smoothie was yummy. Now it’s time for sleep. Night all.

Here you go Frankr.

And good morning to you as well Frankr :-)

Good Morning, Frankr.

LW18 LADYWOLF, was that a menu or the selection of the grocery store nearest you???

Finally, an appointment to see the optometrist tomorrow - among other things. So I’ll have (at the usual time) salmon patties, OJ, hash browns, and CocoMocha.

I need to turn in now.

Hello and good morning Big Sister and Early People. I’ll see you all later. Have a great day.

Good night everyone. :-)

You got it Johanan Rakkav. :-)

Good night.

Good Night, Ladywolf. I hope you have a great day tomorrow as well.

Good Morning, Johanan.

Thanks, Ladywolf.

Goodnight Ladywolf.

Good Morning Johanan

Good Morning, LuvH8. :^)

Good Morning Lonewolf & Everyone!

Good Night Everyone, Don’t Fall Out Of Bed

good night LuvH8 and hello Terry, Frankr & anyone else still awake at this time of night (except the spammer who has been duly flagged). i’ll have a large mug of nuclear coffee, please, and save breakfast until i can make up my (alleged) mind over the plethora of choices provided by Ladywolf. i’m beginning to think it may be too much of a good thing, though i DO appreciate the effort. too much thinking this time of night.

oh, and LuvH8? the easiest way to prevent falling out of bed is to sleep on the floor.

Good Night LuvH8 and everyone still hangin’ about!

P&L

Good Morning, RwB, Grog, Doc & Lewreader.

Shika move!

Hi, Yguy. Good to see you, sir!

Outta here for real this time!

:^)

Poof!

Hi Uncle Why!!!

(Blows Raspberry!)

Enjoy your toons & flagging!

Pop!

won’t be long tonight. been researching for a quick photo jaunt up the Bruce Peninsula to Tobermory that i’m planning to take on Friday.

Oooops!

Yay! New Pictures!!! I luv your pictures!

Poop!

yeah, they’ll be new. but, since i’m still on film, there’ll be a bit of a wait before they get on to photobucket. i’ll let you know when.

to paraphrase Monty Python, “it’s 4:30 am and time for the penguin on your computer to explode.” that being the case, it’s time for me to go horizontal for a while. (((Tribe)))

  Good Morning Early People!

Good Morning, Ladywolf, ♠Lonewolf♠, Ladyhawk, MontanaLady, Frankr, Johanan, LuvH8, yyyguy

Good Morning Grog & LuvH8.

Good Morning Tribe.

You are either very early or very late today, LuvH8. Do I need to send you off to bed and tuck you in?

Good Morning, (again), ♠Lonewolf♠

Good morning, Tribe!

Ah, how I love the smell of burning spam in the morning!

Ready for that breakfast, Ladywolf…

Nice Bach violin concertos you have playing in the background. (Truth. Mein BachPod is playing the same on my iHome alarm clock.)

Good Morning, Johanan

I currenty have Gary Puckett & the Union Gap plaing now, This Girl is a Woman Now

To whatever Angel (I have a poor memory) clued me into losing crazy penguins with the click of refresh, thank you. If you could now help me with faces on BirdBrains, sanity might stand a chance in my house.Bye Penguins.

Good Morning Lew & Johanan

Have a great day everyone. RL beckons.

P&L

Later, ♠Lonewolf♠

Oh and good morning, Lewreader. I believe it was Doctor Toon who told me about refreshing the penguins away. there have been a lot of them so far today.

Buuuurrrrrrrp! Oh excuse and good morning! That breakfast was good, along with the spam! Have the day off from work today, so I’m going to do what I couldn’t do two years ago…shopping!

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪☼ Good Morning TRIBE! ☼♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have Barbecued Shrimp, Barbecued Ribs, Baked potatoes with sour cream, Devilled eggs, and Doc’s World Famous Nuclear Coffee.

Good morning everyone. also for those who aren’t ♠Lonewolf♠ MontanaLady, Frankr, Woodyeye, Ladywolf, Johanan, Lewreader & RwB, Grog,Doctor Toon,Dry,Rmom,LuvH8, The Sojourner,Love&PieceJoy, MisngNOLA, aircraft-engineer ,yyyguy,Carmy Penguin hit before I could get on. I wonder if virus is causing that. I refreshed to.

Big news this morning not sure who reads Cathy, I kinda gave up on that strip. The creater is quiting that strip in near future. Wants to go something different. Our local paper quite that strip ages ago.

Hi Kab!

I checked over the Cathy site some are happy others not. Me I gave up on it according to times too much spending. I like for Gocomics come up with new ones like Zitts, Baby Blues, Hagar the Horrible, Beetle Balley, etc.

Good Morning, Sojourner & Kab!

Good morning Everyone……..

Had to crash early last night…..just couldn’t keep my eyes open. Had a great sleep, and feel very refreshed!

LW18, just coffee this a.m., please. Filled me up last night with those fantastic BBQ Ribs! Yum!

I’ve had the Penguin a bunch this a.m. Used the “refresh” and it worked! Woo Hoo

Kab, I don’t think Hagar and Beetle are that new. They’ve been around a long time, but handled by a different syndicate. Zit’s has been around awhile too, because I do remember reading it while still living in Montreal.

Good Morning, MontanaLady

Hi Grog and MontanaLady!

Most could relate to Zitts like SS. Some I know have been around but not on GC.

What is it with that penguin. I managed to get to bed hour earlier after reading some but still after midnight then during the day I start dragging, doesn’t help when I see people yawning :( ).

Here’s one for EMET and all other Brett Favre fans.

Good Morning, Doctor Toon. There are drawbacks to the full work day, but the pay check would not be one of them.

Hi Doctor Toon!

Good toon Grog!

Thanks, Sojourner, I thought those fed up with the Favre saga would get a kick out of it.

Green Bay has been my favorite football teams as they are owned by the town and don’t get sold and move, etc. When I get photos of my trip to Wisconsin on PB I might include photos I took of Green Bay practicing including Favre. (He and Joe Montana are my favorite quarterbacks.)

That would be nice, Sojourner

Ooooh! Rival Football teams. I should pick one. Wonder what method I should use to do that.

Good Morning, LuvH8!

Hi Peoples!!!

Who voodooed me their hot weather?

Good Morning Grog

How did you know I was still awake earlier?

You made your last post 4 minutes earier than my first post of the day, LuvH8

Good Morning Doc T

Did you bring us any frozen fruit bars?

Hi LuvH8! - Hot? What’s your temp.? Here at 11 a.m. it’s 94° (heat index 100°).

Yes, that is true Grog. But since I live in a different time zone I went to bed two hours and four minutes before your first post. Oh sorry one hour and fifty-two minutes before your first post.

Hi Sojo!

We have frozen peas? I like frozen peas. Now I am not sure which one I want.

I think not, LuvH8. I think you were still awake at about 5AM your time when I made my first post at about 7AM my time. Either that or you were tossing & turning in bed and realized you forgot to post “Good Morning, Early People” and went back to bed to toss & turn some more.

You can have the frozen peas, LuvH8. I’ll take some frozen corn if there’s any.

I was still awake… you get to work awful early. I was shocked to see you there so early. So I went to bed before you could lecture me.

Good Night Dark Toon, Restful Sleep

LuvH8, sometimes, I’m at work around 6AM.

I was there at 6:40 this morning, It took me a while to get throught the comments from the previous day and early morning though.

Sojo, today it is supposed get up to the mid eighties. The next few days the mid to high nineties. I am going to melt.

Too early.

To a night owl like you. I like to beat the traffic in the morning. The price of living in Houston.

I am thinking of giving up trying to sleep at night. I always seem to sleep better during the day.

Then I guess I won’t be seeing much of you, LuvH8

Sure you will, I wouldn’t be going to bed until at least seven my time.

I chose my football team to root for. I looked at the team names and emblems. Now, I am curious as to whether or not they are a very good team. I suppose now I should keep track of their games.

Tell me the team you chose and I’ll tell you if they’re any good.

The KC Chiefs are going to be better this year…or else!!! It has been discouraging to be a KC sports fan in recent years.

Hi LuvH8 and Grog and Sojo….almost forgot my manners!

Hi, Hopeandjoy. I didn’t realize that you were from that area.

Things couldn’t get that much worse for KC.

Hi hopeandjoy2! - I really don’t pay much attention to football but started watching KC again when they got Joe Montana. Tried to keep interested in them but they sure haven’t done much for that! I prefer Rugby Union but don’t have a way to watch it.

Hi HopeandJoy

I really like your name, it is cheerful.

I’m not a serious fan I just thought it would be fun to have a team.

Sojo, if you have the ability to watch shows on your computer, this site says (haven’t tried it) you can watch union rugby for free as well as other sports.

http://www.tvover.net/

I hate when links don’t work right. I managed to get a working link, but you will have to do a search within the page for your sport. It is supposed to be on foxsports,I think

Bye for now. Have a good afternoon everyone.

Thanks LuvH8, I’ll try it. Cox also offers a free sports channel but my computers won’t allow me to watch that due to needing 125 megs video ram and I only have 25 and 35 meg. video on my old computers! Rugby Union has their own internet feed but costs and any shows saved to your hard drive etc. won’t work after a while (6 months I think).

GROG, you said it right! Thanks, LUVH8! Hi to KayB and Doc or Dark Toon and Montana Lady, Lone Wolf and LW18; Rmom and Monk, Carmy (spelled right this time) and all of you. I know I missed someone. Sorry

Grog and Sojourner I am not much on football as long as I feel they aren’t trying to build a good program. Joe Montana was so great even though we got him late in his career. The Royals may be trying now to build up YET AGAIN but I won’t count on it. We love college basketball . Soccer (football) and Rugby are interesting to watch and LaCrosse too.

I’ll check in later on. Byeeeeeee

Hi DDFENCE EMET! - For a southern breakfest wouldn’t you also need grits? :-)

A

hey everyone sorry its been so long

Hi diffrent!

Hi diffrent. Long time no see.

Hi EMET. Didn’t see you sneak in. Did you see the link I left you this morning?

A

——————————— How’s your summer so far, diffrent?

Good Afternoon, TRIBE and ALL!

Especially: hopeandjoy, Sojourner, diffrent, Grog.

@LuvH8, maybe Kitty wants some catnip? (That might even be him about 3:00?)

Speaking of hard puzzles, a picture of this in 2000 pieces was the hardest one I never finished…

Hi bmonk! - Good video!

Hi everyone, How are you all today? :-)

Hi Ladywolf! - Just fine! I hope the same is with you! :-)

I’m doing very well Sojo :-)

Good to see you again diffrent :-)

Now that I’ve finished supper I’ll have a piece of Waffle House Pecan Pie!

Help yourself Sojo It does look delicious, I think I’ll join you and have a piece of it as well.

Thanks for asking for this EMET, it really hit’s the spot!

MMM! Yummy!

Since this is a virtual buffet table I’ll have a piece of the other dessert special of the day - Chocolate Fudge Ribbon cake!

Go for it.

Thanks for offering this Ladywolf!

You’re welcome Sojo.

Good Evening, Tribeandall!

I just wanted to let you all know that I received my print from Thom I can’t wait to get it framed and mounted.

That is wonderful news Grog. :-)

Yeah, it looks fantastic without the frame and will look even better with it.

Enjoy,GROG!

bmonk–enjoyed the big cats!

Have a good night and see you tomorrow. Ymmmm good Ribbon cake.

gmonk–I’ll enjoy looking at Monet but afraid that puzzle would do me in. Congratulations on completing it.

Hi People!

Congratulations Grog!

Bmonk, how did you find footage of Kitty? I loved the video (hated the music).

Hi hopeandjoy Thanks! I’m sure I will once I’ve got it framed & mounted.

Hi, LuvH8 Yours should be coming soon!

Hi LuvH8, Grog, hopeandjoy2, and anyone else!

Been busy myself, need to turn in soon but not yet.

Congrats,Grog!

Hi Soujourner Thanks!

I’m getting ready to hit the hay now, so have a good evening to all those still here!

Be back later.

Bye Grog

Time for my zzzzzz’s. Have a good turnover!

♪☼ P&L ☼♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Missed him by that much!!!!

I guess this is good night to some. If you see this MontanaLady since you like looking in the sky our local news reports meteor shower after 11pm better still at 2 to 3am. I won’t be up to see this. Hope it’s not cloudy for you.

For those who are still up here is a bedtime snack for everyone. Enjoy!

I missed everyone by more then mins more like hours and its 10:33 pm here. I plan to continue reading. I figure each page I turn gets closer and it’s not a dull book. Wish I where a rapid reader. Look where I could excel at, drats my parents don’t even read and my only mom doesn’t like to read, so I’m glad I didn’t get it from them.

LuvH8 if I ever intrude let me know.

Hi Kab,

What book are you reading?

Hi Kab Buch How are you today?

Kab Buch You are a delight to hang out with.

Kab Buch, Where did you go?

hello Tribe. quick note to Grog about the Favre cartoon. i thought it was funny but i doubt if you would get Dry to appreciate the humour in it (though i haven’t seen her posting here in a while, i know she’s still around on this site). also, to EMET

a

hello LuvH8, LW18, & Kab and good night Sojourner.

Kab, I have never felt that you were intruding. I should look up the meotor shower. Do you know if it can be seen from Oregon.

I’m still here.

Hi Uncle Why,

All ready for your trip?

I went back to check on a strip of C to see if my comment was there and it is not. Made someone mad. The strip is ending soon. And I was a fan of it but got tired of money being spent. Also said GC needs to bring in new ones. New for GC but some have been around awhile.

I’ve been reading book called The Oath. Based on hospital, Dr.’s, medical director that gets hit and dies unexpectly in hospital, dectectives, affairs. Four parts.

Oh! Cool I like books where people die. (Surprise!)

Sorry your comment got deleted. It has happened to me several times or more. I never could figure out how they decide which comments to delete.

The weather people weren’t specific. I know Montana Lady likes those things and they get fascinated. Just like when it was cold seeing so close the space station and space shuttle departing and we got five precious minutes/or seconds it was amazing. And It went fast.

I doubt your fault. I will use C that has been on news author retiring afte 35 years. Comments noted all negative comments where gone. Only positive and support where there. The author of the book is John Lescroart, mines is hardback don’t know of paperback, there are I believe 37 chapters. Easy reading and for me not hard on eyes. That’s a miracle since I’ve been on muscle relaxers everything is relaxed and thinking is too.

Does anyone remember a few years ago comment that had a long tail called Hayles’ comment that comes every 75 years? That was something and it was cold out.

I like to get large print books from the library. I can read the regular print, but large print is easier. Plus sometimes you can get a book right away that you would have to wait for in regular print.

Hello yyyguy.

I’m not up to large print. I think what I’m referring to on this type of book the lines are not close. I can give you an example and some of the book I already read. Is that okay with you. The part leads to it.

How do I say this without being reduntant on words? An idea came up but not sure if it will work especially with different ones taking different classes and colleges starting different times. I wonder what it would be like to study on internet. Like for instant basic Understanding Psychology. For me I’m not sure of remembering words.

How is Ladywolf this evening are you working tommorrow? It’s 11:17pm and I wasn’t planning for your turnover. I know Ladywolf you and some others will have menu’s for 3rd shifters.

I do not work on Fridays. So I will be away on a date tomorrow.

yes LuvH8 i’m all ready. (wasn’t hard to get ready because i’m just going for the day and will be sleeping at home tomorrow night.) i was out most of the afternoon driving around the rural areas surrounding my home area and finished off the roll of film that was in the camera so that i can start fresh tomorrow. got some nice photos of an old (1870) country church and graveyard as well as some farm animals (sheep & horses) and landscapes. just enough to whet the appetite.

enjoy your day, tomorrow, LW18. as for me, time to hit the horizontal position (as Lonewolf would say). see you all soon.

Ladywolf I seen you wrote that. I hope you have a nice time. Is this with you HS sweetheart? I never knew what that was like. My sister and our parent’s would never allow it. We never even went to our prom. My daughter went to her’s and look beautiful with her hair very nice swept up. She is shorter then me and not happy about it. I’m a little over 5’6”.

Ewe! Icky Icky! I took sociology because I did not want to learn all the technical words.

Yes it is Kab Buch :-)

I’m not going to brag about my height.

My duahter told me never take socilogy and Phsycolgy together I told her I haven’t. I’m just hoping to pass any subject and not sure my brian will do it. I will be working online so hope that helps. Not sure I could handle in class time and with as many out of work classes will fill fast.

I might check out that series, Kab it sounds interesting.

What will sociology be like? You almost sound like my daughter and said it almost killed her.

You must have confidence in yourself, Kab Buch, I believe in you, I believe that you can do anything, that you set your mind to. I believe in you.

That’s the response I get from most people I tell. There is a cover that goes with book. Check it on line. I just want to finish so I can get started on that book.

You have to believe in yourself, Don’t be afraid to give yourself that extra push, Don’t be afraid if you make mistakes. Read my profile by clicking on to my name or avatar.

That’s sweet of you but remember I’m old enough or a little older to be an aunt 54 and with muscle relaxers not that easy. Just wish sleep would come easy. I’ve been messing up with typing so maybe I better get ready to go.

I looked it up online. The reviews for it by normal readers were pretty good. I like to start at the beginning or a series.

Sociolagy is the study of how people relate to others. Very similiar to psychology, but no nasty medical terminology. Then again, you probably want to learn the words. I took some general psychology too.

Kab Buch I understand. Don’t be afraid to tell me anything. I will listen to you. I am after all your friend.

Your both good friends. And by the way I didn’t relize you both where on BB Aug 5. People BT are getting more famous.

And by the way since I want a change in my life and what has happened where I work, each day I go in I get where I can’t wait to get started. And I plan to use internet to help me get good grades with the instructor. I told my daughter on looking at the current book (used) there are test in there with answers upside down. She said don’t count on it. Instructor might want more then the answers listed.

Good evening, Tribe. I so enjoy reading your greetings to each other, and your stories. Especially about Kab going back to school…..NEVER too late, my friend.!!!

Just a note about the meteor shower….it peaks tonight, and can be seen from most of the 48 states. However, you can still see frequent meteors for the next two weeks if you sit out when the sky is very dark, and look to the northeast. As the night progresses, you can look straight up to see the entry of the “shooting stars”. Tonight’s show will be much more frequent than say 3 or 4 nights from now.

The Winter shower comes in mid November, and of course, it’s much colder than now. However, again, we have SOLID CLOUD COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AARRGGHHH!!!!

Hope this helps y’all. :-)))

Your sweet but don’t worry about me. Your young and enjoy your date. and here in KS it’s almost midnight. 11:44pm. I need to get off and unwind.

Kab Buch, that is a very good point, that you made.

Hello MontanaLady, how are you today?

Good evening Tribeandall!

Just got back from pool. Went straight from an appointment, so no time to stop by.

Good MontanaLady glad you seen my comment. I knew you would enjoy that show.

Hello, MonatanLady, Ladywolf & Kab!

I have clear skies………. Oooops! Bragging again.

Hello Big Brother Lonewolf.

Kab the internet is great for learning things. (if you can find reliable sites) I wish I had internet access when I was in school, it would have made it easier to look for clarification of things I didn’t understand.

Hello MontanaLady & Lonewolf

Becareful LuvH8 MonataLady might get upset she likes to look at those sites.

Good night Lonewolf if your needing a snack I left you something enjoy. I hope your pool game went okay. It’s midnight here and I guess you will be serving soon and I need to see if I can sleep.

Hello beautiful ladies!

Good Night Kab, Good Luck Sleeping!

Ooops! I’m sorry MontanaLady. I promise not to look.

(fingers crossed behind back)

Turnover countdown!!!!
