Rmom – Thanks, a banana muffin sounds great.

Rmom, this’ll do fine. I’ll have the biscuits & gravy, please.

My existing link to this strip brought me to this site.

It didn’t refresh the list for me. I had to re-enter the strip. if it won’t load comments after you need to see more I may not keep current later today.

Good Morning/Afternoon, Tribeandall!

Same here, Grog. And it shows up on my homepage once again! WOOHOO!

Thank you, Rob!!Thank you, Gocomics!

Hello there on two BT. ♠Lonewolf what you told them must have worked.

I checked the BT and that is Betty.

Oh yeah! It says BT, but it is a Betty strip!

Wait, there are two Big Tops in the A-Z listing!

I think the first one is supposed to be Betty.

Sojo & Grog – Good thing there are virtual servers!

I just got a call from the nurse. Bad news – the doctor won’t sign for a temporary disabled parking permit for me yet. Good news – he wants me to see the cardiologist sooner than the 26th. Sounds like he’s going to have to pull some major strings to get me in sooner than that. The first cardio I wasn’t supposed to see until June, so I thought the 26th wasn’t too bad for a top notch specialist.

Rmom-Those parking permits are hard to get.Great menu, too! :^)

It’s been taking forever for me also with the special tests I need Rmom. Gets aggravating sometimes.

Heheheh, I hear you, Rmom!

Tooncomment:So is that portopotty in the woods?

Hi Arrrrgh Thank you

Two dogs in one daycross a Pekingese and a Lhasa Apso.The new breed is Peekasso, an abstract dog.

Well, I’ll be doggone, Plods Wif A B!

Afternoon, Terry

How are you doing, my friend? Working?

Rmom, I really can’t complain about VA. They have been stellar when it comes to the way I have been treated and if I was really concerned, I could call my primary physician and I’d have an appointment within a few days.

Hi, pseudo!

Good afternoon, Pseudo.

I actually have my pulmonary physician’s cell number if it is an emergency. And I can go to the emergency room anytime if needed. The three main doctors I have also work out of Loyola & University of Chicago Medical Center among others, so they are readily available everyday.

Good, err, Afternoon, Everybodies!Gocomics still has some teething problems, I see…saw…whatever it was this morning.Sounds like good news, on the balance, SR Mom! (I hope the news is equally good after the docs see you…)

BTW, does anyone else find in unnerving that, when you hit the “submit” button, your precious typing vanishes immediately, and only a short, heart-wrenching moment later appears as a comment? (That is, when it doesn’t spit out of the back of your computer and never gets to the site at all…)

Nope—I keep forgetting the new formatting rules, so that the old reflexes don’t work.  I see I forgot to upload the rest of the list, and just thought I’d hit a quiet period…shame on me!   Hi, Plods Wif, ♠Lonewolf♠, SR Mom & pseudo

At least Copy (plus editing) and Delete work almost as well as an edit button…

Good afternoon, pseudo & bmonkI find it unnerving to see my comment disappear, but so far, at least, it always eventually gets posted.

Hi, Grog. I’m glad to see it’s not only me.

I was beginning to wonder if we’d all been summarily turned out on our ears along with the strip and its creator. Glad to see Le Big Toppe is set up again! :))

‘Afternoon, Johanan. Things are a tad bit aggravating, but at least it isn’t costing us any dinero!

Good afternoon, Johanan.

One that won’t let you do anything to it ‘cuz there’s nothing on the screen.

Hi, Johanan Rakkav א! (Let’s see if I can get this to work!?!)

Loose nut behind the keyboard? If this were Birdbrains, I’d be offended!

If you didn’t call me a loose nut behind the keyboard, I’d be offended. At least with that moniker, I have a valid excuse for what I do! :^))

Thank goodness it’s not. No offense intended. just my sm@rt butt sense o humor.After 60+ years it’s kinda hard to curb it sometimes…

I dunno, I think there are a fine assortment of mixed nuts here.

Some people have mentioned over the years that my sense of humor is seriously warped too…

Another Thank you, Grog!

Just today, my son asked how it could be that I’m so crazy and intelligent at the same time.

It is a fine line we walk isn’t it R Mom

I’m glad no one took that the wrong way. I would have had a lot of splaining to do.

My mind was there, but I wasn’t gonna make you go through the whole explanation, Grog.Ciz I started it.

spose to be a ‘u’ “Cuz”

LOL

Don’t ya just love the new edit feature?

That “T” for tush or tukus, Terry?

I decided to repost the corrections. That way it keeps people on their toes cuz they have to back and read it again.

GO back…i MEANTGO BACK

and read it again

“There is no great genius without some touch of madness.”— Seneca

Finaly back on. Since my last post I couldn’t get on. Had the BT tonn named Betty. Now it’s the BT toon named Big Top!

Hello pseudo, bmonk and Johanan!

Hi, Sojo!

Sounds better than the “A” word on a comic site. IMHO

Yes it does, Terry. specially since the nannybots seem to be on vacation

I need to take James and go get us a couple of haircuts, BBS

Heading home now.

See you later ♠Lonewolf♠ and Grog.

In a while, croc-, errr… ♠Lonewolf♠ & Grog.

I wonder if Seneca was thinking of ENFPs (like me) and ESFPs who have their faculties for internal logic in a particular “Trickster” archetypal position (giving ENFPs in particular a whacking dose of “screwballitude”), or whether he was thinking of anyone who was overemphasizing his natural strengths, or even his particular Trickster, until it became imbalanced…I must be bored to tell you this. Most of you have no idea what I’m talking about, most of the rest of you don’t care, and the one or two who could refute me I don’t want to hear from. :))

Genius, insanity, imagination, unbalanced…. why are we talking about me?

I just figured to be a genius, you have to be willing and able to “think outside the box”. In order to do that, you run the risk of people thinking you’re crazy, and you need to not let that bother or hinder you.

@*Aaaaaugh!*“But that’s enough about me. Let’s talk about you. . . . What do you think about me?”

See here.

@AaaaaughWe knew we’d get a response. Great thinks mind alike.

Wait – did I mess that up????

Plods – LOL

Good afternoon, LuvH8:^)

We’re back. Now I need to get ready for pool.

@SojoSo is it Wrangler, Levi’s, Lee…. which jean is it???Aahaahahahahahaha!!

I just noticed while going through my emails that Gocomics (U-click) responded and said they didn’t know what I was talking about. Wanted me to send them a screen shot. I replied that all is well now. LOL

I once followed a “I’’trade you my handicap permit for your legs” bumper sticker to the gym. Hadn’t thought of vandalism in 40 years. My mother can’t get one cause she got one arm. She can’t drive a standard cause she has only one arm. Does anyone else see a discrepancy? Wonder what she learned to drive over a half century ago.

♠Lonewolf♠ – Have a good night at pool.

Plods – I can’t figure that out!

I be back.

Wasn’t the Model T Ford an automatic also?

I have a handicap parking permit in the car, but I am pretty sure I will get in big trouble for using it.

Yes—it’s illegal to use unless a handicapped person (the one it’s for) is (or will soon be) in the car.

That is a very good reason not to use it. Also, it would just be rude.

PWAB, I took care of that e-mail you mentioned this morning.

I don’t know about other states but Kansas now requires those that receive a hadicap parking tag to also receive an ID card for that permit. They have to carry it with them to be able to prove the tag is for them.

I’m outta here, Tribesters!Have a good evening!P&L

Time to act like a tree and leaf out!

Have fun, ♠Lonewolf♠

Later, bmonk.

Bye bmonk.

Got the connect, Grog

Sent you an e-mail, PWAB

Ooops! I see that Sojo already answered that question. I got called away from the computer before I could get my answer posted.

@ R MomAh… the burden of being a genius. Everyone needs you.Of course that may just be the mom thing too

I have a handicap placard, and only use it when I REALLY need to. One time,when we were visiting our daughter in So.Cal…….at a Costco………and My Mountain Man forgot to put up the placard. Well, we got back to the car, with a ticket on the windshield, and it cost $431.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Fortunately, we challenged it, and they didn’t charge a fine, but a $25.00 office fee for handling. Whoa!!!!

SmileyRMom….good luck at your doctor’s …… we’ll all be keeping you in our prayers! Keep us posted. :))

Hello Montana Lady – You lucked out there!

Montana Lady, $25 sounds a lot better but they get you one way or another

Seems like the posting times are fixed! :-)

Well it’s dinner & a movie time. Tonight’s movie is The 39 Steps.

Gunite, Tribeandall!

Not feeling well, but I will say hi to you all, before I relax.

Feel better Lil Sis

And with that I bid you all Good Night(((TRIBE)))

Have a good evening Grog.

Hello ♥Little Sister♥ – Hope you feel better soon!

Time to do some computer maintenance. I don’t know how long it will take.

Good night Plods.

It is the rude thing that I think of first. The law is also a very good deterent though. I should find out if we need to turn it in or just destroy it when we no longer need it. I always thought that an identification card would be a good idea, especially as the person needing the permit might switch cars they are traveling in.

Aaaaaugh! – Is there an expiration date on it? That would take care of it. That’s what we have in KS.

Hi and Bye Doctor Toon.

I think it doesn’t it expire for another few years.

Are you sure Doc? I keep getting lost as it is…….

Well that part is true, but they may have some turn it in within thirty days law to prevent people from selling them.

If it expires sometime and isn’t used I doubt it wouldn’t be a problem. You could always call the police, DMV, etc. and check. There might be something online about it.

I went to turn in my mom’s placard after she died. I didn’t realize it was only good for one year, because I remember the paperwork from her doctor saying she permanently qualified. It was a little late at that point! Of course, if it had been misused, the parking lot police might have helped us discover that fact sooner.

Aaaaaugh! – Check here.

Aaaaaugh! – At that site it says “Unused and found permits should be returned to DMV immediately.”

Well, time for me to head to bed. Good night!

Good night Rmom

Time for my zzzzzz’s.
