Big Top by Rob Harrell for October 12, 2010

I have never had a smorgasbord. Is this what happens when s’mores have nothing better to do? I am kind of afraid now.

Good Morning, Lonewolf

Have the s’mores attacked the World Famous Nuclear Coffee, milk and chocolate cake yet?

This is Boo-Monk’s fault he gets so carried away when we have s’mores. I remember last time he was dunking one in Nuclear Coffee. It must have reproduced.

LuvH8…………………you are TOOOOOOOO cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and funny)………..

Good Morning, LuvH8 & MontanaLady

This is what happens when I am too tired to cook or get a menu together.

How about what I had yesterday, plus some of those honey-roasted peanuts for a snack later?

See you after six tomorrow, I hope. :) Looking forward to my requst then.

(blush)

Good Morning, MontanaLady & Johanan

Good Morning, Johanan. It shall be ready for you.

The virtual servers are now on duty!

I’m still trying to kick this head cold, so I’m off to the horizontal position already.

Good Night LuvH8, MontanaLady, Johanan & everyone!

P&L

Shouldn’t still be up, but since I am figured I would sneak back into the tent for a bedtime snack. Thinking one of those warm brownies in the corner look good, along with a nice glass of milk.

Can’t read any more about psychology tonight so I’m off to bed. Have a good night everyone.

Good night, Ladyhawk….good studying!!!

Off to bed myself, Everyone, Have a good night!!

good mornings to MontanaLady, Ladyhawk, LuvChaos, Lonewolf, Johanan Rakkav and all who drop by later. I have returned from Princeton and the Wedding of the Decade (between my Nephew the consultant and my new Niece the dancer - may fortune smile eternally upon them) and needed to make a brief visit here to say hello before heading for the horizontal. Hope everyone is well. I will leave a deposit in the karma bank for those in need. (((Tribe)))

Good Morning, ♠Lonewolf♠, LuvChaos, MontanaLady, Ladyhawks, Johanan, yyyguy & Doctor Toon.

Ladyhawk curious on my part you mentioned Psychology is it Understand Pshychology? I am currently working with that. Does your instructor have discussions and how are your tests coming? Mine are bad I will have to take class over. I thought I was the only one in trouble about Internet looking up resources for help, then notice others putting down where they where finding resources, strange thing is what they wrote is only 5 paragraphs, mine have been longer breaking down discussion and at least different.

Good Morning, Kab.

Mumble, mumble…. sorry No sleep to speak of…. neeeeeeeeddd Nuclear Coffee Morning Tribe and Grog too tired to chew. No honey roasted peanuts for me. yawn toontour

Piff

LONEWOLF Now I don’t claim to be a distinguishe DOC like TOON, but I learned a bit from an old lady (Hope she don’t see that). I prescribe “Bedrest” but my prescription is not to be taken on an empty stomach. Get those virtual servers to get you something from the virtual smargesbord. Myself, I’m on a diet so I’ll just have Lark’s tongue and hummingbirt milk.

Morning TRIBE! Still looking for my “Genius” At least I’m being entertained by pop ups and ads WOT warns me not to click.

Forgot NUC COFFEE. Stupid doctor!

Good Morning, RwB & 1st ClassPeon

Good Morning Tribe!

Hello to all those here!

Good Morning, Sojourner, boo-monk & hopeandjoy

Good night, Doc

Good Morning Grog.

Hi, Sojo and Grog!

BBL!

Hi boo-monk - Nice day here!

Good day, boo-monk, sojo and hope and joy!

Hi MontanaLady - Hope it is also a nice day there.

Good afternoon, tribe!

Hi Rmom.

Hi, Sojo! I was wondering last night, do you have a view of the sunsets from inside your house?

Rmom - My house faces west and I can see it some but there are a lot of trees that block most of the view. The other day there was a golden sky at sunset and was able to enjoy the different light! When the leaves fall it will be easier to enjoy the sunsets.

Hi Boo-Monk Have you or anyone started following Dark side of the horse I find it amusing most days.

Good afternoon Rmom We miss our country home that had a room we added just for the sunsets.

Hello, Rmom.

Hi Hopeandjoy2 - I started following it. It’s simple but is usually funny.

I went shopping yesterday, and on the way home I noticed some neat combination of the clouds and the setting sun. I have a little trouble at my house, because I don’t have any west windows that I can see from our main living area. (I’d have to climb up a flight of stairs.) Our house faces SSW, so at least if I crane my neck, I can get an idea if the sunset is anything interesting or not. But to get the pictures, I have to walk a little ways, to get past the trees. Between the leaves and the fact the sun is further to the south in the winter, probably explains why I seem to take more sunset pictures in the winter.

In my younger days I delivered newspapers. I found that sunrises were usually better than sunsets. I don’t get up early enough to see many though.

Hi, hope&joy & Grog! I started following Dark Side when it moved from the Sherpa. I don’t know if I’ll keep it in my line-up or not, but I’ll give it a few months to see if it grows on me. Our house was designed to be built in two phases, and the 2nd phase was to have a wrap-around porch, with a portion of it screened in, plus the living & dining rooms on the west. Alas, we never got that built. I will miss having a high location to view (& take pictures of) sunsets from, when we move. I doubt I’ll be able to find anything like this in that area. It is pretty rare for around here. I was thinking last night that if I’d had my camera with me, I could have pulled off the highway and taken one from an overpass. I may have to do something like that to get my “fix” once we move. I really enjoy sunsets! Sojo - We don’t have as great of a view of sunrises from here, there are more trees and houses blocking the view of the horizon that direction, unless I want to drive out of our development. But I’m not a morning person, so I’m not usually in the right mood to enjoy beauty at that hour, even if I would happen to be up!

There are some large buildings in the way–and my room windows face S, or near enough as no never-mind–so if I want to see either sunrise or (most) sunsets, I have to go outside. And, furthermore, since I’m busy most days from about 6:00-8:00 a.m. and 5:30-7:30 p.m., there aren’t too many days I’m even free to see dawn or dusk.

Still, a couple of times this fall, I was on the road and at a good place to pull off and spend 5 minutes to watch the sun set.

Sunrises being better than sunsets; I’ve wondered why that seems to be. It might be because at sunrises your eyes are more adapted to the dark and you can pick up subtle shades of color better.

Hi, boo-monk! This summer, our sunset wasn’t until around 8pm (CDT). Wouldn’t yours be later since you’re further north and west?

Well, yes–it can be as late as about 10:00-10:15 p.m. (MDT) But then sometimes clouds get in the way, or other duties (meetings) get in the way, or I have to find other excuses. But often it seems like the most convenient times are just when I’m busy.

And, besides, I rarely get up at 4:00 or 4:30 a.m. to see the dawn…

@DocT, someone is lucky he only had regular coffee…

boo-monk - If you have a complete cloud cover, I understand. I have found that having some clouds (as long as the sun can peek through) adds greatly to the beauty of a sunset. I can’t blame you for getting up that early to see a sunrise, although in the winter, it ought to be much later than that.

I prefer sunrises to sunsets. Though I can’t get any clear pictures from my house, there are places I can go to see the sunrise…..and take pictures. I think some of the best I’ve taken are on the Kemah Boaardwalk.

Grog - I’ve heard a lot of people say that, but even when I do remember to look out the window at the right time, I haven’t seen any really spectacular sunsets. I suppose with you being on the east coast of TX, that might make the sunrises better. I’m wondering if the location makes a difference, as I know that if I can’t get a clear view of the horizon, the best part of the sunset is hidden from view.

SOJO & GROG. Of course sunrises are superior to sunsets. One portrays a glorious beginning, and the other “the End”. Which do you want to see approaching?

One problem with clouds here is that the visibility is so good that having any clouds low in the west (dusk) usually means they are pretty solid there.

On the other hand, having clouds to the east at dusk usually means they turn nice colors in the royal blue sky.

When we lived in the country we were on a high ridge and the land sloped gradually to the west and east…lots of trees, of course, but good views of both Sunrise and sets. I saw a lot of sunrises coming or going to work whether on night or morning shifts at the hospital…but here we can see sky color overhead but I have to walk to the end of the street or drive a bit to see it due to trees. We are a single story with walk-out basement, Rmom so that doesn’t help. I like winter sunsets or rises too…they are a bit different.

I also think that, both, waterfront sunrises & sunsets are more spectacular because of the sparkle off the water.

1stClassPeon - Great point!

Grog - The water probably helps reflect light under the clouds for more color also.

1stClassPeon - Uhhh, I don’t want to get up in the morning, and I sure enjoy climbing in bed at night. Does that explain why I like sunsets better? I think it is in my DNA - neither one of my parents were early risers, either.

I saw some spectacular sunsets in Hawaii on Molakai and if I knew how to copy one taken from our home while living in the country, you would be amazed at the beauty…I saw colorful ones in Colorado too…but I am also more of an evening person now after years of early rising as a child, teen, and nurse.

Sorry that one is so large. I tried putting in the thumbnail, but couldn’t get the formatting to work.

Besides, this has more impact

boo-monk - Ya think? LOL!

Rmom - that’s beautiful.

Kab - it’s Personality Psychology. I’m attending University of Phoenix so only one class a week for 5 weeks and then onto the next class. It means there are papers to write every week, but we don’t have typical tests. Just lots of individual papers, a group paper, and a group presentation.

Rmom - That’s a beautiful photo!

Good Afternoon Ladyhawk.

Very nice photo, Rmom.

I’d have to say I’m more of a morning person. I like getting up before sunrise….even on week-end. I guess I don’t like wasting daylight hours in bed.

Have a meeting. BBL

Good evening Tribeandall!

Beautiful picture Rmom!

Doc, I just had to comment at Dark Side of the Horse. :^)

Hi, Sojo, Ladyhawk, Hopeandjoy2, Grog, Boo-Monk & Rmom!

Hopeandjoy2, did you figure out how to change your name here?

Hello, ♠Lonewolf♠

How’s it shakin’ this week so far, Grog?

Not bad, ♠Lonewolf♠. I’ll be all day at the Tech Center tomorrow, so it’ll be a welcome change..

It’ll also be the first day I drive to work in the new Silver Bullet.

Hi, Ladywolf, Wolfie & Grog! Thanks, everyone! When I can see sunsets like that, you can see why I like them. Grog - My dad was on 2nd shift during my formative years, so our family has always leaned toward going to bed on the late side. I do get up around sunrise in the winters, but not in the summers.

Rmom, I go to work too early to get up at sunrise in the winter. If I wake up in daylight in summer, I’m still late for work.

Grog - You’ve got a schedule like my hubby’s. He hates to go to bed early enough to get 8 hours of sleep, so on the weekends, he sleeps as much as he can, and still do what he needs to get done. I keep telling him it would be better to keep the same hours on the weekends, and go to bed earlier during the week, but he doesn’t see it my way. Before we had kids, I could sleep like him, but too many years of getting woke up by our sons trained me, I guess. Now that they like to sleep in, my body refuses to let me. I usually wake up around 7, but if I’ve got to be somewhere that requires me to get up before 8, I set an alarm to be sure I’m not late.

Actually, Rmom, I can choose to be in at 8:30 if I want since I’m not hourly. But it’s a fairly long drive through Houston traffic and the later you go the worse it gets.

Hey all Ladyhawk I’ve heard of University of Phoenix. I turned them down due to costs. I have as I said earlier Understanding Psychology, I am disappointed at one point discussion board doesn’t vary much. Mine I have more information to give.

Now I have a different problem for you computer and printer. The printer is new like my lap top. Scanner built in. Here is the problem. Printer doesn’t except MS Word we have professional 2010 installed,accepts MS Works. Also for any forms from PDF I have this installed this laptop will except it but shows empty when emailing the form. The computer in small room doesn’t accept forms. Also I can’t scan documents.

Grog - I’d forgotten about the traffic. I can understand how that would make it worthwhile to get up early to beat the rush. I know when we take road trips, I dread going through one of the large cities during the morning or afternoon commute rush. Even if my hubby or I are capable of driving in it, the extra time and stress isn’t any fun.

Hi Kab

rmom that was a MAGNIFICENT picture!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

We get great sunrises…….it does rise until after 7:45 this week, and will be progressively later.

As far as sunsets go……..we have a hill in the way. Darn!

Hi, MontanaLady!

Sorry Kab, I’m not familiar enough with computer stuff. Hopefully someone else can help you out with that.

Grog - Just curious. Does MAD5R mean anything to you?

Nothing at all, Ladyhawk. Should it?

Not necessarily. My hubby has been talking to a “Lord Grog” on Facebook the past couple of days and I was trying to see if it’s the same Grog.

I’m not on facebook, so no it’s not me. If you see me anywhere else, Photobucket, Yahoo etc, it’ll be with the same handle I have here.

Just thought it woud be a funny coincidence if we were both talking to the same person on different forums and didn’t know it.

Actually, Photbucket is Grog’s Photos if I remember correctly.

MontanaLady - I’m glad you liked it. If you want to see more, go to photobucket & look for RRAmom.

I need to finish up some tasks and get to bed. Good night!

Good night, Rmom

Good Night Rmom

Hi, Doc!

Doc, on your schedule, I’d think you might be sensitive to sunlight.

In my case I really dislike long winter nights. I’d hibernate through it if I could. I’m not a big fan of artificial light. Gives me headaches.

And I never go out at night…or in darkness, unless driving to work….and sometimes driving from work, but not often.

Well late night, unfortunately, last night so I’m calling a night early tonight.

Gunite, Tribeandall

Rmom THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY SUNSET That’s the kind I love. (Been at chorus practice.)

Lonewolf No, I can change my avatar but not my name even when I go into my account. I am a computer cripple and have to have the steps. I figure out what I can on my own but this comic world is a new world to me. I will give it some more attention after my Colorado kids’ visit.

☺ haaaaaaa that is suppose to be a smiley face I brought over from Character Map….will have to hunt for a bigger one. Smiles and happy dreams.

Hopeandjoy2. Go to your account (Home, Account) and change your first name to whatever you want for your user name.

POP!

I’m back.

Good Night, Grog & Hopeandjoy2.

Sleep well!

Good Evening ♠Lonewolf♠.

Hello everyone. Most of you are football players to watching. Have you also been listening to news about Chilli. Finally one miner is free and will be bring up each miner until chamber is empty. Awsome. News caster commented who well these men look coming from 69 days of prison. Back to text.

Hi, Sojo & Kab!

Ladyhawk, have you heard anything about the operation yet?

HopeandJoy, is your daughter up to causing mayhem?

Very likely….she takes after me! Can hardly wait to see them. Keep an eye on our part of the world, LuvChaos

I am off for ZZZZZ’s I will check out the account business to see if I can drop the 2 from my name probably not worth the bother, Ladyhawk but thanks for the help.

BBS/LuvChaos how should I refer to you? I am currently working ahead on different text book. Then Wed prep time to type for GP. I also have wondered about Ladyhawk’s neighbor’s daughter. Cancer of any form is not nice.

My previous comment on computer, scaner/printer on affect and effect I ment exactly both words. This is wireless may have to contact manufacture. I should not have trouble with MS Word or PDF I think. I am really tired. Good night all.

I go I hope for last time to Specialist for my right shoulder. Feels really great. This specialist has a great sense of humor. He makes patients feel comfortable. I wish I knew about him over 20 years ago with my wrist that need worked done.

Hi, LuvH8

Good Evening LuvChaos.

Good Night Hopeandjoy.

HopeandJoy, it is really easy! On the page you change your avatar, just write the name you want on the First Name box and click on the green update button directly below.

HopeandJoy - it looks like you were successful.

Luv - we haven’t heard anything yet, but I will let those here know when I do.

Hi Sojo, Lonewolf and Ladyhawk

My internet stuff is being kfdnvoidspogjdvvey!

Sister Kab……….. umm…… I don’t know what I should be called anymore. Just use any of the ones I am likely to remember (or figure out) is me. Pretty much anything involving the words Luv, H8 or Sister. But don’t use Cute, Little, Bratty, or Sissy.

Good Night Sister Kab. Restful Slumber.

Congratulations HopeandJoy!

Good Night, Peaceful Slumber

Thank you Ladyhawk.
