Once Upon a December - sung by Anya

Dancing bears, Painted wings, Things I almost remember, And a song someone sings Once upon a December.

Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory…

(Instrumental interlude)

Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory…

Far away, long ago, Glowing dim as an ember, Things my heart Used to know, Things it yearns to remember…

And a song Someone sings Once upon a December

Good morning, Dawn.

Am I the last bleeep fool here? There are beautiful women all around. Are they still about?

Well, there IS ME!!!!!

I’m still here to, but it’s gettin’ pretty late. Hi Marg, JFri and Cleo.

Hi you late bloomers.

It is off to bed for me. See you toonsters in the morning.

G’night all!

Same here, goodnight, all.

Last one standing!! The Force is STRONG with me!!

OK, it’s search party time!! Rad was recently spotted at Prickly City. **Fan out, people! FIND HIM! No, put away the torches and the pitchforks!!!

Dry Just for you Geniuses! http://comics.com/get_fuzzy/2009-06-10/

Good morning and Happy Wednesday!! Anyone ever find Rad? I’m about to make my comic rounds, so I’ll look out for him.

This strip just gets better and better! ROFLMAO!

JFri, did you find Rad?

Mornin’ Akenta!

Everyone else, WAKE UP!!!

JFri! ROFLMAO again! Thanks! I love Get Fuzzy!! Me and Bucky think alike!

Good Morning. Are you folks always this zany every morning?

Well hey Josh, long time no see!

Hey doc! I let you sleep last night, didn’t I?

KABOOM! Da show has da bombed. Good Morning Le Tribe! Thank you for breakfast Cleo and Tabby.

Morning Yappy Nuts!

carmy - What happened to your avatar?

Jfri, Just how large is your navel lint collection, if I may ask? LOL

doc, to answer your question, let’s just say “watch your back”! LOL!!!! * :-D*

Tomorrow, I resume my Tinkerbell avatars. I also do cartoons in my spare time. As soon I can get a better computer with a “supportive system”, you’ll see avatars of those. I had this e-machine 667since 2000.

Hi Doc! I am feeling much better this morning. I think I might mow the lawn in a bit. RRAmom, I got tired of Lancelot. My avatar is a picture of a painting by Mary Cassat. I have a large framed poster of it in my kitchen. I thought it looked like my 2 oldest girls when they were much younger.

Morning Le Tribe!

Tabby: LOL That’s what happened to me when I was first! I arrive first thing in the morning, and the guys are still kibbitzing from the night before. I could have swaorn it was to get someone else to do breakfast! lol

Thanks to both Cleo and Tabby for breakfast. I have to eat and run to an appointment this morning.

DRY: I’m glad the storm didn’t hit you. I must have dreamed that bit about dropping off a double bassoon and double brass trombone and then flying away with RRAmom and Toto. Thank heavens!

Doc T. : Since you don’t mention your famous coffee, I’ll leave some here for anyone who needs a boost while they wait.

Akenta: Good to see you too.

JFri: Good work on the search. More #POWER to you!

RRAmom and Carmy: Great to see you both safe and sound. CArmy glad yuo are feeling better.

BBL Got to run now.

Hello Le Tribe. I always wondered about that old theatrical wish “Break a leg.” It never made sense to me.

Another beautiful day in paradise. I’m beginning to think that maybe we switched weather with South Texas. Are you getting this too JFri?

Yeah, doc, you never know where I’ll show up!! Could be anywhere, anytime! LOL! I’m slowly catching up on my toons! A weeks worth to read on four sites takes a while, but the one only has 4 comics on it, so…

carmy, glad you’re feeling better!

JFri where are you????

JFri?????

GOODMORNING ALL so im back up and caught up..

Doc i knew you would be proud. lol Shika they do that every time. dont show up till after breakfast is made. lol Carmy glad your feeling better… dont over do it. Rmom, Dry, Akenta, Cleo,josh, dawn, and jfri good morning and have a great day.

so i have to go walk and check on the chickens make sure the rest are still alive. :( and then i have to get some work done. i’ll be back in a little while… not parties while im gone… well one only if it is a search party for Rad find him and get his but back here.

Eggs? I’m good at making omelets. What’s your pleasure for the insides?

Cleo, “break a leg” is reverse/superstitious well-wishing. THe idea is that by wishing something bad, the peversity of the powers-that-be will actually do something good for you, like helping make your performance stellar.

Messy eggs: open up the fridge, take two or three eggs, add some nice cheese (Gouda, Leiderkrantz, or whatever), a bit of onion, bell pepper, whatever in the veggie crisper looks good, and fry it all up. Yummmmmmy!

tabby Some scrambled eggs or an omelet sounds good. I made banana muffins - anyone want some?

carmy I guess if I’m the only who isn’t getting your avatar, it must be on my end. All I get is an empty box, even when I click to look at your profile. Oh, well. Worse things have happened…

Rmom i want some Banana Muffins!!!!!!! now im hungry.

tabby sending them your way. I’ve got more bananas almost ripe enough to make another batch. They were on sale for 28 cents a pound, so I couldn’t resist.

RRAmom, that’s odd that you can’t see my avatar. I can see it right now as I type. Anyone else not able to see my avatar?

DAAAAAAAHH Strip:

“Hey - LE-LEGGO MY LE-LEGGO!!!”

I hesitate to introduce a forbidden subject, but it’s not arguing about religion so much as explaining religious terms. Shouldn’t be too controversial. Last night, there was some confusion about ministers at liturgies. For Catholics, the acolyte or altar server is one who helps the presider by preparing the altar, moving and holding books, and so on. The Eucharistic Minister is one commissioned to distribute communion; the ordinary Euch. ministers are priest, deacon, and an instituted alcolyte; extraordinary EMs are laity commissioned just for distributing communion, either in church or out, such as to shut-ins or nursing homes.

Bmonk that is just to confusing for my brain today. ours is simple we are all brothers and sisters in the Lord. we call the minister Brother Marshell or Paster Marshell. and the elders are brother kirk and sister Crystal…

okay i quit. sorry guys.

@bmonk - I think it should be okay to explain religious terms, as long as we stay away from theology or a “mine is better than yours” comments. I don’t agree with the theology of any religion other than mine, but I find it very interesting to study the cultures/terms used of other religions. Of course, if the majority of our comments revolve around religion or poltics, it will cause trolls to come out of the woodwork.

so i will be checking on the chickens about every hour or so. i dont know what i will do if i find something attacking them. well scream for one thing but what else i dont know… i have to go do some things bbl

tabby Even though I’ve had a fair amount of experience with farm animals, my folks quit raising chickens before I came along. But from what I hear, geese are the ones that make great attack “dogs”. Did you tell the owner she has one less chicken? What happened to kill it? Was it salvageable to eat?

doc How good are you at catching, if I can throw it to you?

Watch out doctortoon. When you are going long you don’t want to trip on a snoozing kitty.

Go see SOTU. I think I made the someone’s panties get in a bunch.

???? A “snoozing kitty”? What is that?

Good morning Tribe. Yes this group is squirrelly - such a bunch of Yappy Nuts. Carmy his panties are always in a knot. The omelet sounds wonderful, Shika, with Berliner cheese, mushrooms, onions and red peppers. Of course they would be great additions to BMonk’s eggs as well. Re: Da Strip* - I’d hate to be the one with the broken leg. Ouch! Yet another injury to Le Tribe?

RRAmom:* Your computer is WEIRD. You know that? Ha-Ha!

Carmy: I can see yuo from here, so you DO exist! Nice to know that you are not invisable, although if you are like me, you may FEEL invisable when no-one replys to your questions! : )

Thanks for the coffee, er what’s-his-name.

Rmom it looked as if it had been attacked by something. i had my dad take care of it for me. i couldn’t do it i scared of them evil things. lol i tried calling her about 30 min ago. no answer so i told her…. “hey its Tabby when you get a chance give me a call i have something to tell you about your chickens. I didnt want to bug you so you can call or I’ll tell you saturday when you get back.” and that is all. she hasnt called yet. :( i dont know what to do i feel as if im letting her down and i love her so much shes like a mom, sister, and best friend all in one. its great. so i hate to disappoint her.

Doc we sure did reach our goal. lol :D i dont know how we did it.

Carmy i can see the pic its nice.

shika did you ask me a question and i not answer? if so ask away and ill answer or tell you i would rather not answer. :D

bmonk. Thanks for the clarification on acolytes. That’s what we were taught, but I also learned that each individual parish has it’s own terminology to some extent. So it is all “right” as long as those involved know what they are talking about. Not that I AM talking about anything that I’m not supposed to talk about, if you know what I mean, which I doubt!

Hey TABBY, throw some eggs to (not AT) Saucy so she can cook up a cheese ‘n onion ‘n bell pepper omelette. make it big, I have to garden this afternoon (carefully with my arm wrapped up.) RRAmom: Toss a bo’ nana muffin this way too, if you don’t mid. MUA get out of the way!

JOY hey how have you been??

Cleo we also have the great weather. I just got in from refilling the hummingbird feeder. It is so warm here, they are emptying it almost daily - and it is a large feeder. It is high up so our feral cat can’t reach it. He (it ) has enough food with all the mice around here. He’s sleek and very canny.

Shika will do.. dont walk on Mua Saucy her you go!! in coming. how many do you want?

CARMY! WHAT on earth are you doing to SOTU’s panties??? Why are they tying knots in them? I’m afraid to go look! :D

Tabby: You never ignore me, I don’t think, well if you do, you’re so sweet I just over look it. After I’ve had a good cry. Boo-Hoo. : D

Hi Joy - you are so right. It is dirty over there.

Tabby she will understand - raising chickens is not the easiest with all the predators around.

RMom I’m glad the storm didn’t cause you any problems with your oven. I’d love a muffin too.

Hey Joy, what cha’ been up to, gal? What do you mean, you’re surprised you have a social life? You and that pirate are always on the go! You two put the rest of us to shame. The only social life we all have is if you two invite the rest of us along, LOL!

Joy im glad you got out. did you have fun? Shika dont cry it will ruin your eggs. :) if i ever ignore you just yell at me. Dawn thanks she should understand she is a very understanding person.

im not allowed to go over to SOTU so what is going on? my moms wont let me.

JOY: Great to see you. What do you mean you were pleasantly surprised to have a social life? Well, I guess your time with Pirate isn’t social, in the strict sense of the word! Pretty private and plenty exciting I’d say! :D

Joy, that comment to carmy, were you going to say “outhouse” in a different noun? HaHa

Dawn Read last night’s posts from me on your suggestion. Think we can do it? Let’s polish up our act!

Tabby: Dawn’s right. What happened could happen any time. It’s nature. I won’t cry in my eggs either, don’t worry!

Well, I’m signing off for the afternoon. Got to make hay while the sun shines. Thanks for sharing, CLEO.

bye Shika have fun. if she calls me back ill tell her if not ill tell her when i get home sat.

DOC its 1:12 here. Sleep well give the cats some love. talk to you later

Parting shot:

RRAmom: I answered your question on SOTU about where the ear is from. It’s tame, so it shouldn’t cause anyone to tie their pantie/undies or skivvies on a knot!

Having a disinfectant shower before going out to get dirty in clean garden soil. (Compared to SOTU.)

Thanks Tabby. Sweet dreams Doc. BYE-BYE for now.

I was mowing the front yard. It’s 91 degrees here! The front yard is small and there was a little breeze so it wasn’t too bad. YES, I do know better than do visit the devil’s playground (AKA-SOTU). I have been disinfected. Hallelujah!

Carmy its 92 here i forgot where you live but cant be to far from here. (State i mean)

rice and gravy with sweet peas and a coke for my lunch today. and guess whats for supper. eggs. lol im going to be tired of eggs b4 its over with.

Joy, I hear you. The Big City is crazy. Too many people and the traffic is psycho.

Tabby, I’m in FL.

that is what i thought. lol hey you could have seen Akenta last weekend. lol is it nice there?

Dawn - my bird feeders are emptying quickly as well. Hummingbird feeders don’t work for us, maybe because we have so many flowering plants, but seed feeders are very popular.

i dont want to clean house. i wanna read or sleep or just do nothing at all.

tabby - Sounds like you couldn’t have done anything about the chicken that you haven’t already done. Hopefully, the owner will understand that as well. - Don’t worry about SOTU - just politics.

Shika - Of course my computer is weird! What other kind of computer could a weird person own?

Thanks for the info on the “ear” - I don’t make a habit of reading SOTU.

I hope I can throw the muffin all the way up to Canada - and I hope you’re good at one-handed catching. Good thing this is virtual food. (Well, in my case, it is real food delivered virtually.)

Joy - Yes, I washed my hands before eating lunch!!

Dawn Here - catch!

Yeah, Rmom and doc, that’s what I figured. And arguing about who’s right and wrong, that doesn’t get anyone convinced, so it’s worse than useless, unless someone wants to talk about it. But I figured that explaining terms was OK, as long as we didn’t go on and on about it.

@tabbylynn, just be glad you weren’t a shepherd back 1000 or 2000 years ago. Then the herder was responsible for any sheep that got eaten or lost. (Hence the foolishness of the “Good Shepherd” who not only lost a sheep, but went home and told everyone he’d lost it, while leaving the rest of the flock out to get themselves lost or killed!)

Joy, who is that on your avatar?

Joy i love your new pic Rmom thanks Shika u live in canada?

Bmonk i wouldn’t leave them unattended. i would stop a person on the road or bring them with me. lol thanks you made me feel better. Carmy do you know the song “one life” Rmom may know it also. what do you think of that song?

back to work bbl. lol just passing threw.

Tabby, I think so. Do you know who sings it? Do you like TobyMac?

yes i like TobyMac… i knew who sung it till you asked. lol i just looked it up its 33 miles. what is your fav. song by TobyMac? im reading a book by him and DCtalk right now.

tabby - I’m familiar with the song. I’m terrible on knowing who sings a song, unless I’ve watched them. Probably because on the radio they don’t always say who the artist is for each song - or at least not at the end when I would pay attention better.

I like pretty much all of his songs. Made to Love is probably my fav. How about, Mandissa, What if’s it’s God Speaking?

I have’t heard that song by Mandissa… i can’t remember what songs i know by her. when i here them i know it. lol i love that song “made to love.” he has some great songs

rmom i have the same problem. i have to google them if i want to get the cd. lol

Joy, who is that dear little thing on your avatar?

Cleo try a mix of 3 cu water to 1 cu sugar. That’s what they recommend around here and it really works. And apparently it doesn’t hurt the birds - they take as much as they need an no more. RMom thanks for the muffin - yummy! Joy I always scan the page - seems they say the same things day after day - I wonder if they just copy and paste old posts. It is frustrating yet mesmerizing! Also, I know what you mean about big cities. My hometown was 75 thou when I was young. Now it is over a million. I hate driving there now.

Oops, I meant to type “I pretty much like all his songs.” Tabby, when you get a chance; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZI2gOBvBHk

Shika I’m happy being a devoted servant to the tribe. As long as I’m not a slave (I am already a slave to this. *NO* I can get away from it any time I want..)

Tabby,

Have you been practicing your driving?

Dawn, the same thing happened to my hometown too. The first time I went back home, after being away for several years, it had changed so much. I thought I was in the wrong town.

Dry,

are you still at work?

Carmy,

when im finished cleaning i will check out that website. i have practiced some turns out its just the written one. :-( im ready for my license we have put it off long enough.

dry is always at work she is a very hard worker and she looks on here becasue she is crazy. and loves us so much. lol love ya dry

Good afternoon folks! Just stopping in on my rounds. (I have rounds too now.) Back in a few.

Jdoc oh no we have corrupted you also? lol your so addicted now. how is your back doing? hope you had a good day today.

Dawn - Are you talking about Nanaimo when you refer to your hometown having over a million people? I haven’t been there in a number of years, but I could never imagine it being that big.

I prefer reading the comics in the newspapers, but a lot aren’t there, and I enjoy reading the comments, but lately I’ve barely had time to. My back is better now, thank you. I should be able to go for a run today. 3 miles might be ambitious though. Hope your day is going well too.

Jdoc dont push it.

Carmy and rmom the song by Mark schultz “Can you hear me” that song is the most touching song ever makes me cry every time i hear it. oh its just so beautiful. playing now. going sing my heart out and cry. bbl

maybe called “hes my son” one of those two.

Tabby, Mark Schultz has lots of really good songs. Did you cry when you heard “He Was Walking Her Home?” I cried when the pastor and his wife sang “Remember Me” in our church in Texas.

Carmy, I cried like a baby when i heard “walking her home” i have that cd right here by me right now. you should get it some time the cd is called “broken and beautiful” they have the story behind “walking her home” it made me cry also.. “Remember me” is great also. I seem to cry on a lot of songs. they are just so touching.

is it really time to go see about the chickens and pick the eggs? already? gosh. im bring more corn!! lol it saved my yesterday.

bbl if im not back in an hour send help… it could be bad.

heck only 10 min. bleeep i did good. its getting better and better every day.. let me tell you how stupid i look i had one some black and pink vans, khaki skirt, yellow shirt, and to top it all off my straw cow boy hat. lol i look so stupid. lol

tossed the corn in and walked in slowly with the food that i didnt even need. grabbed the eggs 10 today and got out. they are being nicer. maybe them loosing one of there own scared them. lol they think im going to kill them. lol that is bad.

Chickens vs. Tabby day 4

Chickens 2 Tabby 2 hehe we’re tied. :P

Good job Tabby!

Joy thanks have a great evening.

Carmy i know im so happy it went well. by the time they get back i will be able to do this with my eyes closed… wouldnt try it though. lol

Joy, cute avatar!

Tabby, shucks; I was hoping you’d be delayed so we could send out the posse and helicopters and pirate sloop and all…

get a load of this… wow.

Tel Aviv search for mattress containing $1M life savingsStory Highlights •Israeli woman loses $1M as daughter dumps mattress containing life savings

•Security increased at city dump in Tel Aviv as search under way for mattress

•Publicity has triggered wave of people trying to find mattress and its contents updated 4 hours, 47 minutes agoNext Article in World » By Shira Medding CNN JERUSALEM (CNN) – It was supposed to be a pleasant surprise, but turned into the shock of a lifetime.

A woman scours a garbage heap in Tel Aviv for her mother’s missing mattress. A woman in Tel Aviv, Israel, gave her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise gift, throwing out the old tattered bed her mother had slept on for decades. The gesture ended up bankrupting Annat’s mother, who had stuffed her savings of nearly $1 million inside her old bed for decades, Annat told Israel Army Radio.

A massive search is under way at the city dump, where security has been beefed up to keep out treasure-seekers who have heard Annat’s story in Israeli media.

Annat, who did not want to reveal the rest of her name, told Israel Army Radio that she woke up early Sunday to get a good deal on a new mattress as a surprise for her mother.

Sound off: Which bizarre places have you hidden money?

She fell asleep that night, exhausted after lugging up the new mattress and hauling down the old one to be taken out with the trash.

When her mother realized the next day what her daughter had done, she told her that she had been using the mattress to stash away her life savings and had nearly $1 million padding the inside of the worn-out mattress.

Annat ran downstairs, but it was too late. The garbage truck had already taken away the money-stuffed mattress.

Annat alerted the two major dump sites in the Israeli city in an effort to locate the bed, but so far she has had no luck. Yitchak Burba, one of the dump site managers, told Army Radio that he and his men are working relentlessly to try to help Annat find the million-dollar mattress among the tons of garbage at the landfill.

The publicity has triggered a wave of people also trying to find the mattress and its contents for themselves. Burba has increased security around the dump to keep them out.

Annat told Army Radio that when her mother realized her queen-sized bank had been tossed, she told her to “‘leave it.’”

“‘The heart is crying but you know we could have been in a car accident or had a terminal disease,’” Annat said her mother told her.

Annat is also taking the situation in stride.

“It’s a very, very sad story but I’ve been through worse,” she told Army Radio. “It’s a matter of proportions in life … people need to know how to accept the good and the bad in life.”

wow is all i can say.

Bmonk sorry to disappoint. lol im glad its going smooth its faster and less scary.

the only thing you have to fear is fear its self…. and CHICKENS. lol

LE TRIBE, LETS GO TO ISRAEL!!

Carmy that is what im saying. lol

“Forgiven and Loved” great song.

Carmy ♥☺

Just a little something to make you smile.

tabby - I read that news article too. I think that the mom should have trusted her daughter enough to at least let her know that she was using the mattress as a bank. Maybe not how much, but at least told the daughter enough to prevent this from happening. What would have happened if the mom had died, had a stroke or something else suddenly that would have prevented her from sharing the info before it was too late?

@Tabby, I thought the only thing we have to fear is fear itself…and spiders!

As here: http://www.snorgtees.com/theonlythingwehavetofear-p-661.html?osCsid=6cc75747f0130523e8650130f317eec4

Bmonk they need to add chickens…. speaking of spiders i just killed one that was on me from the chicken house…. now i feel like they are crawling all over me.. I HATE SPIDERS!!!!!

Rmom maybe it was in her will but that is so not smart. people do crazy things.

@tabby, even in her will might be too late. What if they had “cleaned house” before they had the reading of the will? And ditto for instructions about your funeral: worst place is in your will, since it’s usually only read after the funeral.

Spiders don’t bother me, it is heights that freak me out.

That’s a shame about the mattress…

Jdoc it hate spiders, roaches, chickens, heights, snakes, and other creep crawlers

For me, it’s chalk squeaking on slate, heights (to some extent), and some wild animals. Never had to face a chicken, though…

have to go clean the eggs be back in a few min. and need to put the clothes in the dryer.

you all have to check out pookids picture. it is lol funny. also the comment left on “dog eat doug” for me. lol

back. I dont like the chalk thing either oh it kills my teeth and head and everythig hurts. oh and those little pics that change when you move them… if u scratch that its worse then chalk for me… oh my teeth just hurt thinking about it.

150?

tabby glad you are getting along better with the chickens

docT yes, I’m all caught up - but it was just a fast skim, but that was good enough for me otherwise I would never catch up.

How is everyone else doing? fingers, arms, backs, all ok?

At least with whiteboards, and even more with Powerpoint, you don’t have the chalk–unless you program in the squeak! :-(

Akenta hey girl how was work? you and me both.

Carmy i now love that song. i watched the link. thank you ive never heard it before. i love her song “only the world”

Carmy: I love the new avatar. I’ve always liked Mary Cassat’s paintings.

Thanks Marg, I think her paintings are very lovely. A long time ago, when I was a child. We had a board game called Masterpiece. It had several post card sized famous paintings. One of them was a mother and her daughter, the mother was washing her daughter’s feet in a small basin. I always loved that picture. I just recently found out that Cassat was the artist. I thought that was pretty cool.

Carmy and Marg i love pics like that of moms and there children or happy little familys. they are so sweet.

haha i fixed it…. my mouse was broken and not working. i fixed it. go me.

carmy

Think its time to get doc up?

get doc up i say… welcome home Dry

carmy I used to have that game too - loved to play it. I still see the painting around, but I never did learn the artists.

tabby, yea, this does feel like my “home away from home!”

Akenta, Hi! Hope your day went well, mine was pretty good! Youngest son is learning to drive, have a few more gray hairs, LOL!

doc,

*WAKE UP NOW!

Dry it is a home with a great bunch of friends.

Doc

wakie wakie eggs and bacon

my cow boy hat has been stolen. some child in a blue and white dress with black hair a nice tan and brown shoes and dark brown eyes is running away with it…

DRY,

Get the horns!

Hi Akenta, that is so cool that you played Masterpiece too. I didn’t learn the artists either, but I remembered some of the paintings and then learned more about them. Run, Tabby, Run!

carmy why am i runningi missed something. lol

Run after her maybe?

bbl have to bring sleeping beauty home.

Tabby, what *Jdoc said!

Running is what I should have been doing tonight, but I got caught up in an extreme case of gravity today. Can’t seem to move.

Dry, I can’t even help my oldest daughter with the driving. My husband is does. I am able to give her helpful hints when I’m driving though. Like, see the walk signal is blinking, that means the light ahead will be turning yellow and then red. Also, pass on the right because the idiot doing 30 in a 45 zone is staying in that lane because his left turn is coming up in 2 miles.

Cleo my home town is Calgary. Nanaimo is now about the size Calgary was when I was a kid. We live south of it so have to drive the highway to get to town. Still not as bad as Calgary though.

DRY,

Doc still isn’t up.

Get the Horns!

Dawn, What does Nanaimo mean?

Wow, Le Tribe! That’s all I can say.

Gives new meaning to “I feel like a million bucks! I’ve just been to the dump!”

I’ve just skimmed through the million posts since I last left you, but here’s my two cents worth until after I eat:

I don’t know who wrote “One Love”, but I have a CD of Marvin Gaye singing it, and I love it.

Also, ♪♫♪♪”I heard through the Grapevine” ♪♫♪♪

There’s another song of his that I don’t dare to mention here.

Dawn: or whoever. With all this talk of Nanimo, is that the home of Nanaimo bars? if it is, then I’ll move there!

What big city was JOY talking about? My home town was 5000 then and I think it is still 5000 or 5010 maybe.

BBL. I’m starved. JFri, do you have neibours like the one on the strip Mommy or mom–heck, I’m too hungry to remember- just look it up and you see.

carmy

I’ll get the horns, and the basson, and the tuba, etc.

Dawn - Glad that Nanaimo isn’t over a million people. LOL I used to like approaching Calgary from the east and see the mountains off in the distance. As a kid, I would be amazed at how long it took for us to reach them. They were so high it seemed to take forever to reach them. I love the beauty of Banff and the drive up to Jasper.

Thanks Dry, that should do it. Welcome back Shika, how is your arm doing?

Well all, my chores are done and I have made another batch of Italian Semolina bread. Cooler weather and rain are in our forecast. That doesn’t appeal to me, but no watering of plants does. That said, there is only a possibility of showers. Usually around here that is an almost certainty of rain, but this spring is not the usual spring.

If you all really want a WOW, go check SOTU again.

Cleo, I remember once when we were living in Bremerton the temp reached 100! It didn’t feel like 100 does in Texas, but it was hot.

Shika, I think Bob Marley wrote One Love.

100 degrees in Texas can feel very miserable if you happen to be in Houston where there is so much humidity. Down in Edcouch, where I used to spend the winters, the humidity was not so bad, but 100 anywhere is pretty intense.

*Hey doc!!

How ya’ doin’ my friend? Did you hear my new bassoon? LOL

okay im back.

good news and bad news

good news Mrs. Sherrie knows about her chicken being dead and is not upset with me about it…i dont think.

tabby, what sticker?

Dry one i found in my book. sorry i got it from school

Carmy: I think you are right about Bob Marley, but marvin Gaye also sang it. Ever heard him sing? We have a street near by called Marlee Ave., ‘cept everyone calls it Bob Marlee Ave., because it is close to Little Jamaica.

My arm is much better thank you, thanks to all your prayers, good wishes and the Tribel bank. Boy, hope our bank never goes belly up!

Carmy, Nanaimo was named for the Coast Salish people whose name was Snuneymuxw (Snuh-NAY-moo). They were the original inhabitants. A lot of the names here are either Coast Salish or very British (Victoria)

G’night JDoc

Shika, Nanaimo bars did come from Nanaimo -or at least are named for it. It’s a great place to live!

DRY: I liked your ensemble. The music was very inspiring and UP-lifting! Nice tone too! ; )

Doc T. You should do something about that ringing in your ears. That doesn’t sound good! LOL

Good night johnnydoc: Sorry I missed chatting with you.

Cleo I’d love a slice of your freshly baked bread! I just ate, but I still have the munchies.

RADICALKNIGHT. YOU GET YOURSELF IN HERE RIGHT NOW YOUNG MAN. ENOUGH OF THIS PLAYING TRUANT FROM THE TRIBE!!!**

We miss you too.

Anyone seen Quaby, Nozzi or dcguys? What is is with these people? You’d think it was the play-offs or something!

Thanks for ‘splanation Dawn. Shika, no, I haven’t heard Marvin Gaye sing One Love but, I’m sure he did a great version. I have heard several Marvin Gaye songs. At one time I really liked Sexual Healing.

Dry, you’re embarassing me. You whooped too loud at SOTU.

Doc. You don’t sleep nekkers? that’s not what Boots told Mua last night in the Cat Room on-line! lol (Jest jestin’ you!)

okay im back. may not post much more tonight. im just not in the mood to do anything at all anymore. im down. if i dont come back tonight peace and love all.

Shika - A package of bread is on it’s way.

doctortoon - I never have been able to sleep in pajamas. They always get twisted up and feel confining. But then again, check my avatar.

Thanks doc! wink! wink!

tabby, you’ll be back! Okay, let’s start taking bets! I’ll start out small at $2.00!

Okay everyone, favorite movies:

Some Like It Hot Philadelphia Story Rear Window

carmy, it wasn’t loud enough for you! :-D

I am now going to sit on my deck and have dinner with my lovely wife. Enchiladas anyone? Back in a few.

Doc, what other women? There should have only been me! whose

*HORNING

in on my territory? (yuk, yuk,yuk, was that curly who said that?)

Alright, I’m losing it! That was a really dumb joke!!

DRY: I’ll up the ante to $2.50 ( I’m on a budget, remember?)

Tabby: Cheer up. Your friend will understand about the chicken! That’s why you are friends, you are both decent people.

DRY: You aren’t losing it! I laughed! Don’t say that makes me dumb, okay? :P

CLEO: Thanks for the bread. YUM!

Crossing Delancy Red October Key West, and any old Bogart movies Out of Africa

cleo favorite movies

The Green Mile Signs Lord of the Rings Triology Independance Day Kelly’s Heroes The Great Escape Von Ryans Express Stand By Me The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

and a couple more

And it’s computer share time, unfortunately! BBL to see who has added to the movie list!

And I’ll take 2 enchiladas with LOTS of jalapenos!!

3 bucks here!

I love Cary Grant.

Bringing Up Baby Arsenic and Old Lace Batchelor and the Bobby Soxer Holiday Monkey Business

I finished watching the dance show - it’s going to be a great season - they are all so talented. Of course now it’s past my bedtime.

My other monitor died on me tonight, so I just ordered a new one (have to be able to do both my addictions) So because of that, I can only raise the bet to $3

Everyone have a good night and stay safe!!

BBL Tribe. Mua is looking forlorn on the couch because I spend more time with you guys than with him these days. I’m going to sit with him and hold his paw….

Oops, I didn’t see Carmy’s $3 - I guess I should go to $3.25 - now where’s my piggy bank?

Carmy, I am going to have to get off, but I too, LOVED Cary Grant, and WILLIAM POWELL AND MYRNA LOYE IN THE THIN MAN MOVIES!! Great stuff, that! And I LOVE LUCY!! Best comedy show ever made!!!

Dry, I like the “Thin Man” movies too. Asta is so cute. I Love Lucy is great too.

P&L Doc!

I loved the Thin Man series as well and also was pleased to see that they both lived to be a hundred or bleeep close to it.

It Happened One Night North By Northwest To Have And Have Not

Well everyone. Now I’m too relaxed to stay up. Pets do that to you. Let me know who wins the bet.

$3.75 –1, 2, 3….

Good night! Have fun at the movies.

I LOVE Lucy too! And Cary Grant. And for some reason, I had a crush on George Peppard when I was a teen ager or so. I think it was Patton or some war movie like that. Lord, I fell hard for him.

Okay, now I’m going to bed, to sleep, perchance to dream….

peace and ♥♥♥♥ to all.

tonight I am watching “The Reader”, has anyone seen it?

DRY!

Spent all day teaching rope splicing. Loooong day. Tomorrow will be longer. Leave home at 5:30, get home around midnight!

Quigley Down Under Dirty Harry For the ladies, Dr. Zhivago

Hey JFri- Wow you are putting in a long day tomorrow. My sympathies my friend. Rope splicing?

cleo yeah, splicing eyes in various types of rope & splicing two pieces together.

JFri

Yes Quilgley Down Under, Tom Selleck LOVE him! “Magnum PI”! One of my favorite shows of all time! Dirty Harry with Clint Eastwood! Oh yea! Dr. Zhivago, never saw it! I like mushy love stories, but actually I’m more into the action stuff! Mel Gibson and the Leathel Weapon series, and Bruce Willis and the Diehard movies, especially the first one!

So, your long day tomorrow, will be spent doing what?

cleo, Never saw the Reader, although the name rings a bell! what is it about and who is in it?

Goodnight Shika! Hello JFri! I like Quigley Down Under and Dirty Harry too. Dr. Zhivago was too long for me. Cleo, I like all the movies you posted. What about Key Largo? I like Edward G. Robinson. He was great in the Ten Commandments too. So I have heard from Tabby and she is okay. She is a bit upset about the lady for whom she is chicken-sitting. Just send Tabby some good thoughts and energy. Now, it’s time for me to go to bed. You all have fun. Think of some more cool movies and I’ll read your posts in the morning. Good Night! Ooh. The Sons of Katie Elder is a good one. A very young Dennis Hopper comes out in that one. Okay, i’m outta here.

Driving to Spokane and measuring apprentice linemen for pole climbing gear and back home, stopping at Benton County PUD & Othello Fire Dept. on the way up. Fitting session runs from 2:00 ‘til 6:00 and I MUST be back Friday AM for another appointment.

carmy - I loved Key Largo. That movie inspired me to spend several of my young years camping for the winter in the Florida Keys.

Rio Bravo The Shootist Terminator The Undefeated Star Wars, especially Return Of The Jedi Death Wish 3 Bird On A Wire

carmy, The Sons of Katie Elder!! Loved that! And Rio Lobo and Rio Bravo, and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and on and on!! And not a western but “The Quiet Man”. John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara made some ot the best movies! She is truly a classy lady! Actresses today can’t hold a candle to the likes of her, Kate Hepburn, Myrna Loy, Lucille Ball, Bette Davis, Jane Wyman, etc, etc,

JFri- You are one busy dude. We have to be more than impressed that you have time for us.

Hi people - Good to see everyone is doing well. Sorry for causing any undue concern. I’ve been sort occupied elsewhere than on the toon scene lately. since being unemployed, I’m doing the Resume Tango making calls and emailing everyone I can think of. I was told I was wasting too much time playing with comics and I’ve been feeling sorta useless lately.

Thanks for the calls, I’m OK. I’ll just be occupied elsewhere for awhile till this economy gets straightened out and I can get resettled again.

Well I must be going to sleep too! Don’t forget guys, its past midnight where I am and I have to get up at 7.

JFri

Pick out some more movies. You, me and carmy seem to have similar tastes! I’ll check your list in the AM

Sweet dreams my friends!

Rad - Good luck on your job hunt.

cleo you pick out some movies too! That’s an order and should keep you guys busy for awhile!! LOL And now I am outta here! Night guys!

Thanks, Big Guy.

Rad sorry to hear that! Good thoughts heading your way!
