Your regular Breakfast Menu will appear shortly.

@The Sojourner - pursuant to yesterday: It’s a good thing that your alter ego and my alter ego are on the same side. If they fought each other I doubt if any planet with the temerity to be in the neighborhood would survive.

I hope that someone has already planned a regular Breakfast Menu because as much as I love this unusual opening, planning a menu is the one thing I don’t have time to do… I’m having to head to bed as it is.

P.S. @ KAB BUCH: I’M GLAD YOU LIKE MY GRAPHICS. I TRUST YOU’RE NOT ALONE. THEY’RE FUN TO CREATE.

So, Johanan, no Western Bagels????

Can’t get them up here in Helena, either!

They are the best.

So, until then, may I please have another glass of Merlot.’

Thanks ever so…..

I appreciate the effort on the menu Johanan but come on!

Where’s the pork products Where’s the starch? Where’s the cold pizza and/or poultry? I guess we’ve been spoiled by the excellent menus of the various wolves.

I think I’ll go read the funnies before eating.

Come on you guys. I think Johanan Rakkav did a wonderful job.

I’m late but I had to wash the dishes.

Thanks, Little Sister. I didn’t want to steal someone else’s thunder, precisely because the menus here have become so diversified. I could’ve created a long menu only to be usurped in the process by you or someone, or to usurp one of you.

Anyway, this was just a warmup. And yes, there is some poultry (in the sausage).

Sorry, Frankr, if it ain’t approved by Leviticus and Deuteronomy, it ain’t on my list.

Here you all go. Todays breakfast menu.

Lonewolf’s Huevos Rancheros Grog’s scrambled eggs or eggs over easy with sausage or bacon. Lewreader’s Pheasant egg omelet special. buttermilk biscuits and gravy with chunks of sausage choice of regular or m&m pancakes or eggo waffles with syrup Tater tots, fried crispy potatoes or hashbrown casserole

Cinnamon buns, muffins, bagels with cream cheese. Special steak burgers, mushroom burgers, or smoked bacon cheddar burgers (Comes with French fries or onion rings) Breakfast burritos or tacos Salad bar now open. Regular coffee or Doc’s World Famous Nuclear Coffee Starbright’s Divine CocoMocha courtesy of Chris Alan & Johanan Rakkav(Ask for the specials by request) Bestest Big Sister’S Berry delicious breakfast smoothies milk, chocolate milk - regular or milkshakes Asst. fruit juices and teas fountain drinks like Pepsi and other sodas (floats also avaliable) Premium or imported beer Bloody mary, margarita, martini Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Merlot, Or sparkling wine of your choice, V8 vegetable juice, Soda in a can like pepsi, cherry pepsi ,cocoa cola, etc. Dessert: There is still a lot of goodies left over from the party. The cupcakes were never tampered with, It was a joke.

now THAT’s what I’m talking about!!

Pheasant sounds pleasant but they have no korkoban or peelable lumen so I s’pose I’ll have a couple cheeseburgers with beer-battered onion rings and a pint of Bass.

And a cupcake with BLUE paper for dessert.

Here you go Frankr Enjoy the meal.

Nice avatar by the way. You are a handsome looking gentleman.

Now wasn’t that worth waiting for, Frankr? :)

Thanks, Lil’ Sis. Here’s your drawing again. Good night, one and all.

Good Morning, Johanan, MontanaLady, Frankr & Little Sister.

Hope you enjoyed the party, Little Sister. After that short snooze, I wish I’d stayed up for it.

Johanan, I loved your origial avatar. I wouldn’t toss it if I were you.

Johanan, I’ll have a bagel please.

Little Sister, I’ll have some cheese cake & a Pepsi can please.

Thanks for the cheeseburgers Little Sister. (don’t tell Johanan I had milk on my meat) and for the compliment.

It is easy to be handsome when I’m the one making the pictures. I can shave off pounds warts and hideous disfigurements with a flick of the pen.

Still you look very nice, Frankr :-)

Here you go Grog Enjoy the meal.

Thank you, Little Sister

You’re welcome.

Good night.

Good night, Little Sister & everyone else!

@Grog: I’m here due to my Usual Insomnia - so much for my hopes of sleeping like normal people.

At this point I’m not quite certain that you and I are even thinking of the same “original” avatar.

This was the original.

This is one I’ve been using lately.

The problem is that there are too many good options. Not all listed herein would suit, but a number of them would.

I have even considered using a record album cover, especially this one (said recording literally changed my life in a radical way).

If i were a graphic artist, I’d just create my own from scratch and leave it at that. Unfortunately, I can’t draw to save my life. I can only adapt the work of others.

JONANAN Although LITTLE SISTER’S menu may seem warm and familiar, you presented something different. My local deli sells 16 types of lox and all are kosher so I’ll have lox and bagels (note plural).OOh! Ooh! Penty of cream cheese please.

Morning TRIBE! Day 5 of no NUC coffee. Can now pick up a pencil.

Good Morning Tribesters!

Boston Baked Beans!

Good Morning Doc, Lewreader, Johanan, A Little Sharper U & Dry

Good Morning *Terry, Doc, Lewreader, Johanan, A Little Sharper U & Dry *

((((TRIBE)))

Good Morning, RwB!

Should be another beautiful day in the high 70s!

Need to start getting ready for a busy day.

10 day forecast looks great, Terry. Goin to the IRL race at Chicagoland Saturday with my son. Free tickets and get this a ride along in the 2 seater. Haven’t been in an open wheeled for more than 25 years. Should be a good time. And afterward there will be beer involved.

Have fun, RwB. I always have fun at Chicagoland Speedway.

Doc, I wouldn’t stick my head out either. And your weather means only one thing…….it is headed this way! LOL

With that, I must be off and running with my day. Have a great day everybody!

P&L

Good Morning, Lewreader, EMET, Doctor Toon, ♠Lonewolf♠, Fellow Baby and……..

Hope that someone knows aircraft is unstable.

GM Kab &

Grog!

Good morning Tribe

RunsWithBeer…………….you lucky duck!!!!!!!! Did you win the Honda drawing for the ride with Mario Andretti? (my idol, sigh)

This should be a good race. I love road courses, but there isn’t enough passing.

Have a GRAND time!

Good morning Montana Lady Nope - Apparently my CIO son’s company spends enough with Verizon that they sprung for the rides, tickets, beer, food, tent, headsets, and maybe the corporate motorhome / bus again.

BTW - I have no idea where he gets his smoozin skills from.

Good Morning all you wonderful people

After all the good stuff last night as we celebrated the college bound tribe members, I will have V8 Veggie juice (sigh)

Probably will not get back on until tomorrow.

Wishing you smiles and contentment.

Run Away From Beer!

BYTE YOUR TONGUE!

Edit: Never ever run away…

Beer good

BBS Blechy does mean good, right?

Good Morning, Runs with Beer.

Blechy!

means: yucky, gross, nauseating if consumed, icky, Ewwww!

Hello Bestest Big Sister I must have done great job with goodies. Thanks to everyone for best wishes for forthcoming Jr. college. Did anyone get sick after I left? You wanted extra special cupcakes. Or I guess someone got smart wrapped the special ones.

Good Morning, hopeandjoy & Bestest Big Sister!

Just don’t call me late for beer.

Good Morning Johanan, Frankr, Little Sister, Grog, Lonewolf, Doc T, MontanaLady, Kab Sister, HopeandJoy2, A Little Sharper U, Dray & Everyone!  

Johanan, may I please have a The Works bagel with cream cheese and scrambled eggs. Some Starbright’s Divine CocoMocha with that would be nice. Thank you.

BBS did you ever get to sleep last night from excitment? Can I put away the confetti canon?

It was delicious Kab Sister, I had a really good time. I hope everyone else did too.

Most fun I’ve had in a long time. Wasn’t expected to be on big events though contributed.

Is it time to return confetti stuff. Or did all get used. You throw one big party girlfriend. Wonder how Little sister is making it at work with a late night.

Yes, I slept. I like sleep. Yes, we probably should put away the confetti canon. Wouldn’t do to accidently break our pinata.

I’ll go back then hope I don’t get burn. Canon is still going off, hope your neighbors aren’t mad at all the noise. I just checked I guess I was more tired then I thought, made your neighbors happy I did put canon away and all the goodies.

I should mentioned I felt honored by you and little sister making part of your sisterhood.

At least my neighbors don’t live too close, but sound does carry sometimes.

Oh sound does absolutly does carry. There is one major hwy and a street that traffic uses a lot. When I go walking I can hear traffic noise a block away. Then on to another major road combines two noises. At least where we live at two major streets are part of emergiency snow routes. I miss neighbor space.

I really like neighbor space, As close as they build new houses now, you almost might as well be living in an apartment.

I am going to fall asleep if I stay here anymore. I better get busy, be back later.

Then when you see this I may not be here I get off around 11:15am it’s 10:40 here since I eat early, Then get around to go in. I will change what I see onGC I will be starting on my Ju. college book. Understanding Psychology will be first then Medical terms next and that class starts in Oct. A lot of reading ahead of me. So BBS I hope to catch you later as when i get in afterwork I change, eat then walk.

Later BBS…. I personally think 3 - 5 acres of neighbor space with 6’ hedges and a stockade fence is just about right.

Sleep fast Doc

Good afternoon Big Toppers.

Sleep well, Doctor Toon

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪☼ Hello TRIBE! ☼♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have 2 mushroom burgers, onion rings, a chocolate cupcake and root beer.

RwB - Like this?

This picture was taken from the end of my driveway, and my neighbor’s house is behind the lilac bushes.

Hi Rmom

Hi, Sojo!

It’s a GREAT start, Rmom. That’s my kind of subdivision. Hi, Sojo

Thanks, RwB! It is really peaceful out here. I can’t see any of the neighbor’s houses until winter when the leaves are off the trees. We’ve got 5 acres, which is the minimum per house in our county (outside of towns).

Hello Frankr, Sojourner & Rmom.

I’m sorry, Rmom. I’ve forgotten what area of the country you’re in.

Hi RwB and Grog.

Doihg computer work.

BBL

Hi, Grog! RwB - Kansas. Here is an aerial view of my neighborhood.

Good afternoon Tribeandall!

I see that it is quiet this afternoon.

Hi, Wolfie! It is very quiet here. Did you look at my aerial picture?

Good Afternoon, TRIBE!

I see Beaker got into the Nuclear Coffee again!

Hi, bmonk!

Hello to all of you wonderful TRIBE. :-)

Hi, Lil’ Sis!

It’s nice and quiet today. Everybody must be relaxing or is busy doing things…….Let’s see! Give me a moment and I’ll see if I can relax and do things too. :-)

First things first!………..I shall get me an ice cold glass of lemonade.

Sounds good. Is it still hot there, Lil’ Sis?

I’m Back Hello to all those here!

Yeah! About 95 degrees.

Hi Sojo :-)

Hi Little Sister.

Sojo, hows the new laptop working out?

I’m still setting things up on it. So far it’s a lot faster.

Soon you’ll be exploring it’s features.

Hi, Sojo!

Good evening Tribesters!

Hi, Rmom! Hi, Lil’ Sis! Hi, Sojo!

That is a cool picture, Rmom!

Hi ♠Lonewolf♠, how are you today? :-)

Hi Rmom and ♠Lonewolf♠.

I am a little tired today, L’Sis. But I have pool tonight and I shoot on two different teams and they are at different locations!

I need to start getting ready. I’ll be back before I leave.

RUNS WITH BEER Earlier you mentioned you believe the 10 day forecast. I have this stock, currently in no demand, that is going to skyrocket in the near future. If I were you, I’d bet your life savings on it. You can contact me care of the Corrections Dept.. Remember, I’m no bubble headed bleach blonde waving her hands in front of a map. I’m a pro.

Good luck tonight ♠Lonewolf♠

Good evening everyone. Lonewolf this goes without saying have fun. Since I started with BT how many years have you played pool? For a little while soon be exercising, doesn’t help me, question to some when you put what you want people to see words in blue how does that happen. Does one need phone cameras for shot? What is your first subject your taking Little sister

Rmom I almost envy you for space you have. Where my mom lives fairly close to that example. Not sure if I should give location. I can say this yard is be enough for 3 more houses.

Well I have my heart set on Bookkeeping and accounting right now.

Hi Kab. Thank you.

LW, Thank you, too.

I have to get moving. Have a good evening all. BBL

P&L

Have fun ♠Lonewolf♠.

Kab, I have been playing about 30 years now. Off and on of course. Regularly since I got out of the service in 1997.

Gotta run. Bye!

Lonewolf that’s a lot of years. One year more then hubby and I have been married.

Little Sister I had accounting in tech college. Guess what there are accounting terms you have to memorize, tests, and if I where you I go for extra credit questions. U also get to use pencil. Be careful on tests though can be tricky especially words and definitions on how relates to accounting.

Thank you for the advice Sister Kab :-)

Before I start my walk will u be taking MS Office classes? I might be able to help there also. I would assume you had those classes from HS. For all your classes there will be terms for you to remember and very technical. Listen closely to advisor. This will so be different then HS.

Now if someone could educate me, seriously, on how does the blue words work with clicking on it?

I’m off now for walk bbl pm.

MS classes! I don’t know…..Maybe.

♠Lonewolf♠ - Have fun! Lil’ Sis - Grog & I both know accounting. That’s what I did for a living until I became a Mom. So, if you have any questions this semester on that topic, just ask! Kab - The blue words work almost like inserting the pictures, except no exclamation point. The blue words are whatever you put in the brackets [ ].

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

♪☼ P&L ☼♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Good night, Sojo!

See you all later. I’m going out on a date.

Good night, Lil’ Sis! It’s time for me to head to bed.

Hello Tribe

Yeah, it’s me….on a weekday. But I have tomorrow off, have to have an EKG tomorrow afternoon, so I figured I’d just take the whole day off. So I don’t need to worry about getting to bed early, etc, etc.

So, what’s happening now? It’s been about 13 minutes….

I’m here you must be the age for EKG last time I asked my Dr. he said no. Then Spine and Joint Dr. insisted on it that was last year. The nurse I had at the time learned some very neat tricks for women for dignity.

When you see this Little Sis don’t let accounting scare you or MS Office. I use MS Office now 2007 for a living. And for labels disagreed what was on box. That took an hour to get.

Quaby you maybe like me I can’t really give what I do for work just office setting. Never know who might be lurking. How many wonderful years have you worked where you do? I can only say I work at a Dept that is hugh. Not a dept store like a mall, school, city, courthouse, etc. Not a warehouse either, though 30 years ago I did for 6 years.

I looked on dept web site for future hollidays this goes for everyone. Ya Hoo I’m finally off Christmas Eve falls on Friday and especially Ya Hoo big time off finally when I turn a year old New Years Eve as Christmas and New Years Day are both on Saturday. Finally can go to Eve candlelight. I would have last year but there was a nasty snow strom that made it blinding driving north where I would have to go.

Has anyone ever heard of teen troups fighting syber bulying and haking. I wish I knew about haking.

If I’m the only one on here I’m clearing out I know it’s Thrusday I have a book trying to finish so can excitely start college books. Just wish I had a lap top, can’t buy one till cc is paid down lower.:(

Hey Kab. I had my first EKG more than 10 years ago, but three years ago when I was short of breath they did one, and an ultrasound or soomesuch. Anyway, my heart was slightly enlarged and thickened. She’s checking that again.

I know what you mean about talking about your job online. Don’t think anyone at work would recognize me anyway, but ya never know. I am in the Transportation industry and I work for a company that believes in taking care of its people. 02

Quaby I agree they I would get nervous to. For me lower part of me is worse, I just tell Dr. and it’s coming next year five year wait I’m only doing this one type of procedure hoping all is okay. personal note if you know what I mean I’ve been free for 3 years.

For June my hubby not to his knowledge did he know he had heart problem, has a stint with taking type of meds for year otherwise back to Galiachia for a chewing out and more heart work. Are you having someone to come with you to help you through this? I hope so.

Hey A Little Sharper U why don’t you change your name to what you suggested. There is a comic strip on GC to wife’s pain hubby is in love with beer to.

I guess I better say goodnight to you Quaby. and RWB I don’t plan to stay here for turnover.

Kab you might not be here, but to answer your query no one is coming with me. I’ve been through tests before, the last one was an ultrasound of my leg checking for clots….if one had been found I would have been slapped in the hospital before I could say ‘I have no $$ for the copay’.

Dunno if I’ll make turnover. Just have to see.

Looks like no one else is here. Time to sneak in my boxes and boxes of Krispy Kreams. all types all flavors all fresh and yummy. Guaranteed calorie free, one of the benefits of virtual breakfasts.

So enjoy, I’m sure the rest of the spread will be along shortly.

I just got back from pool league. Who’s left?
