Hello Frankr & Little Sister, Happy Saturday

Hello TRIBE & Big Sister.

I hope it will be a happy Saturday. I just got done babysitting, and Grandma sitting, so I am very tired.

I am happy for Lizard Boy. You should be too Dusty.

Howdy, ladies: Kin I git a carafe of zin and a venison pop tart?

Sure thing Frankr :-)

Here you go….enjoy.

Thanx

You’re welcome.

Got to run to the store real quick. be back in a moment.

Little Sister, I will just help myself to a berry smoothie. Thank you.

Hmmm……….. who do I want to be today?

I’m back and thanks for filling in Big Sister.

I’m really tired so I’m just going to go to bed.

Good night TRIBE & Big Sister. :-)

Good Night Little Sister

Good Morning, Frankr, Ladywolf, LuvH8 & Johanan

It smells like rotten eggs in here.

I can think of no more pleasant way to rise than so see LADYWOLF on my screen followed by another appetizing menu. I’ ll have the fruit oatmeal and a cup of (Hold your breath—DRUMROLL) milk!Yes Ladies and gentlemen of the BT, with dedication, determination, and medication, I plan to wean myself off that addictive NUC SUBSTANCE DOC CALLS COFFEE> For too long I have allowed it to hold me in its seductive arms and sap me of all health and resistance. I called Betty Ford but they are not equipped to handle such an addictive substance. AA told me they would have to add 6 steps to break the bonds of that cruel taskmaster. I will boycott and picket the frozen food aisle of DOC’S store. I will be free!.

Morning TRIBE! Drop over. I’ll perk a pot and we’ll plot our strategy.

Good Morning, Lewreader

Good Morning, Doctor Toon.

Morning! So long Lizard Boy, we hardly knew ya!

Good Morning, Carmy

Nice avatar, by the way.

Thanks, Grog!

Well, I’ve got a boatload of errands to run today, so the sooner I get rolling, the sooner I’ll be done. With any luck I’ll still miss the fun LuvH8 has in store.

Later, folks.

Good Morning Tribe!

Love is blind!

Good Morning, Doc, EMET, Kab, Grog, Carmy & Dry.

Any pool games or working on cars first. I thought you take a break on weekends. Lonewolf

Kab, I have a pool league Saturday afternoons and I do work on cars on the weekend also. For some of my customers it is much more convenient than during the week.

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

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have venison swiss steak, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and Doc’s World Famous Nuclear Coffee.

Good Morning, Sojo.

Good Morning ♠Lonewolf♠ and Doctor Toon!

I do read you work on cars for weekends just thought once might take a small break and rest since so hot.

I will be off and on today. Watching tapes. Then read after that might start on Jr. college though doesn’t start until later Sept.

Hi Kab!

Helo The Sojourner whats going on today. My hubby and daughter out this morning doing father and daughter things. Very rare and very good for them. Usually father and son does things togther.

Kab, I take off when I can, but I need the money for bills and for my habit……………………………………………pool. LOL

Kab - Just reading, etc. It’s good for your hubby to do things with your daughter, glad to hear that!

Bye Doc - Have a good snoozzzzzzzzz.

Have a good one, Doc. Catch you later!

Daughter is 24 lives with us. Wants to be a personal trainer needs more classes. Where she went before didn’t teach two types needed for pregnat women and lazy people to motivate.

Lonewolf a friend of my daughter’s has a friend that works on cars, this guy has no GED. Borrows to survice and works on cars to pay off loans. Winter here is harder for him no garage to work within.

I even finished with my comic’s strips I don’t read all of them. Since Sat I guess some our sleeping in. It’s almost 11am here. Hot to climbing to 100. Weather reports chance of rain Tues cool off. My sinus is doing so much better. Though had to wait over an hour when I went. Phy assist had to tell him look at my nasal for proof.

It’s only getting to the mid eighties today. Not too bad. I have sinus trouble to, but I need to get other things fixed first.

I need to start getting ready. BBS

Good morning everyone. I’ll be off and on throughout day.

Good morning Tribe

I’ve only been up about an hour. I did get up about 8:30, took my meds and tried to get motivated. I even fired up the ‘puter but by 9am I’m back in bed racking up Zzzs. Which is good, I don’t want to live on 5 hour energy bottles.

This afternoon I’m going over to the Dragon to start work on my people for my people necklaces. I need to spread out, and while Stormy wouldn’t mind napping while I worked, Taffy is a bit more demanding. Ahh, the young. At least Taffy’s adapted to less play at night and more quiet time snoozling.

But first, baby back ribs are in the oven. I’ll try to pop back long enough to wheel in a lunch/dinner buffet for the Tribe

P&L

Hi Ladywolf! - Stop by as you can.

Hi Quaby - Glad to hear from you. That sounds good for dinner!

Good Morning, Ladywolf & Quaby. I will look for those ribs after I get done with pool, Quaby. Hopefully it will be a celebration meal! LOL

For me Lonewolf I had no choice sinus passages hurt and internal fever was creeping up and when took bloodpressure thought nurse would pop my arm. She said little high. I told her not feeling good. Then Thurs night crashed so tired. Didn’t help for Friday night.

Ladywolf are you getting your books online or ebay? Save you some money. It’s saving me on some since past student’s are done with them.

Mines not that bad yet, Kab. I can wait a little longer.

Hey, Everyone!!

It is sunny and 77 degrees at 1:45 on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in New England!

Hi Frankr! - It’s only 90° here with a high to be 95°.

Ah! Frankr another nice Well colored avatar.

Kab Buch I already have my Books. I got them straight from the college that I will be going to.

I don’t like the idea of using my credit card online. I’m not comfortable with that.

Ladywolf I did too as well but order mine on line will save a lot of money. Cost me $1200 for two subjects. But I know it’s higher for online. Just asked for future reference author and edition. Got identical what I need plus study guide and I think only cost me $25. Waiting on medical dictionary and medical terms. I can take books back and put some of that on cc. Since Medical Encoding been around. Especially English books. Why not. There will be others.

My daughter’s friend has a paypal account he does sells through ebay after buying from garage sales. Lot of people like old stuff they can no longer get. I agree with you about cc to dangerous..

IT’S ALL DOC TOONS FAULT!

I tried. Lord I tried and I still drank a full pot today, though I didn’t lick the bottom, Down to one pot.

I need my friends at BT (at least the people who occasionally read my tripe) to help me kick the NUC COFFEE. The professionals won’t touch this addiction so I need your one liners and puns to pull me through.

Oh DOC thanks for not beating me up in the BARN. In the fight game they would say I led with the chin.

Now relax Lewreader, it’s okay! You are amongst friends now. We will have to wean you off the Nuclear Coffee a little at a time. May I recommend a decaf coffee substitute, or perhaps some non alcoholic Starbrights Divine Cocoa mocha.

LADYWOLF That decaf is like getting kissed on the forehead or being kissed by my sister. Ewww!

Non-alcoholic STARBRIGHTS DIVINE COCOA mocha sounds drinkable, but as we in a certain 12 step program say,, Non alcoholic beer is for non alcoholics.

Hi Lewreader!

Just trying to help.

So far I am having a relaxing Saturday. No signs of me having to babysit, or grandmasit tonight, so that is good. Sorry about the short breakfast menu. I was not in a real good mood when I posted it, because I missed a concert that I wanted to go to, on account of the babysitting and grandma sitting, but duty calls. I didn’t even want to come on last night but did around 11Pm Pacific time when there was still no menu posted.

Ladywolf - Thanks for breakfast! When college starts I know it will be hard for you to do as much as you have.

One week of freedom left. Where did all the time go? :-(

Ladywolf here where I’m at college started 8/9. You had a lot of fun. Did you by chance look at your books be familiar with them?

Lewreader only way to get off is ease off, then decaffeinate. Hard chocolate will still be bad. You have yet to go through withdraws and headaches + loss sleep.

Ladywolf - I have just ordered a better laptop and may be able to make turnover sometimes in about 2 weeks! I know LuvH8 (or now LuvFrogs - perhaps sometime LuvSnakes?) has said she could post breakfast for me but should be able to do it myself sometimes.

I’m not worried about that at all Sojo. I will still post breakfast menus when I can. And i know that the Big Top is in capable hands. :-)

I have indeed looked at my college books Kab Buch, even leafed through several pages just out of fascination and curiosity. It’s going to be a very interesting and challenging year for me, but I’m ready for it. :-)

Ladywolf - That’s great. I would like to try breakfast sometimes but not often. My menus would have a different country theme each time and may not be liked by most. If they are not liked I wouldn’t have to worry about making any. I would lke to be able to make the early comments to the toons sometimes. That and using the laptop to read books after hitting the hay is one advantage I’ll enjoy. It will also solve a lot of problems of not being able to use some software because my computers are too old. It will be like a new toy for me! (I’m getting tired of my current laptop taking over 30 to 45 min. to get started in the morning!)

LuvSnakes Haaa, ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaa! I don’t know about that! I guess we’ll see eventually what My Big Sister will do next. Whatever it is, I’m looking really forward to it. :-)

Geez, Sojourner I grouse about my ‘puter taking 5-10 minutes to get started.

Dinner is served in the Big Top Baked baby back ribs (pork) that fall right off the bone. Several bbq sauces to complement them. French fries, veggie mix, rice and boiled ‘taters in the jackets on the side. Ice cream bar for dessert with plenty of hot caramel and fudge (yum). Assorted beverages as usual. Enjoy!!!

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!

Hi Quaby - Thanks for the dinner layout, looks great! Tastes great too! I guess we shouldn’t talk about computer problems, look what happens! :-)

Quaby try to slow down. I’ve had this happen to me a few arrrrrrrr times. Then I wait for machine to catch up or F5 it. then delete. I want to mentioned thank you for a very delightful meal I’m stuffed. And for icecream don’t have to worry about allergy problems so going to enjoy. Yum. Ribs are very tasty as you say and delicious melts in my mouth.

Ladywolf should I say made you look. I’m very guilty of this myself. Trying to finish my book I’ve been reading a long time. I have, when I get started hope before class, pencil’s, eraser and paper. I wish to write first before typing and sending in. I have to wait though till class start before instructor gives directions. I agree exciting. Are you taking English as well. Here one has to take Comp1 for public speaking.

Kab Buch Actually I have enjoyed browsing through my books just to get a taste of what to expect. I felt like an excited little girl who can’t wait to open the best presents yet to come.

Yes Sojo I will admit that it isn’t easy to come up with a great menu. I myself sometimes feel as if I out do myself on occasions.

Quaby your dinner layout is delicious. :-)

Quaby: Thanks for dinner. These ribs are delicious.

Frankr - I don’t know why but somehow you remind me of the Sinfield program when Kramer won a lawsuit to have all the coffee he could drink! :-)

(Uncontrollable laughter) :-))

You guys are funny.

I’m glad you enjoyed the meal. I bake some mean ribs IMHO.

Looked like it was going to storm bad, I almost didn’t stop at Wally-World on my way home. I got home and went whew and it’s either skirted us or dissipated.

I made 7 people at the Dragon. My scrabble partner wasn’t there but it was peaceful (Magic tournament going on, fairly quiet when in full steam). OH well, quiet afternoon and early evening.

Thanks again for the spread Quaby!

Frankr you amaze me typing like that. Just finished with walk after two big meals thanks to Quaby I needed to get some exercise. Big breakfast doesn’t help.

Ladywolf I’m excited to. I figure reading medical won’t be as bad as what a Dr. or nurse does. Rather type. I tried to watch on internet before my Rt shoulder got worked on didn’t work. My sister or hubby or someone else could talk about they’re procedure doesn’t work. For some strange reason I can read about it so far no problem. I hope not words to bite me. With this I bid everyone a goodnight. Early shower calm evening I want early sleep for achange.

Once again Quaby thank you for a delightful meal and wonderful icecream I felt really bless by you.

Have a Happy Dance LuvFrogs!

Have a good night Kab!

No thanks Doc, I have a cat box to clean here. Have a good night!

Doc!* no, no, no, no, no, nooooo!

(La, la, la, la laaa!)

.o. /||\ / \

GOOD NIGHT Enjoyed reading posts. LuvFrogs is such a departure for LuvH8..##LOVE THAT DANCE## You may start a trend or something….I will think on this.

Sojourner and Doc Toon Only thing about cats I dislike are the litters.

It’s time for me to try and sleep. Church tomorrow. Choir starts back up Wednesday though we won’t do an anthem until after Labor Day.

P&L

Have a good night, hopeandjoy2 & Quaby.

You too, Ladywolf Church for me too, Quaby

Evening, All! (Is it really so late already? How time does fly when you’re having the wicked.) Lots of hijinks here today, especially those FROGS…

We are having a semi-heat wave this weekend–if it doesn’t hit 100 this weekend, they say it may not hit it all year! And the forecast is only 98.

Stay cool!

Hi and bye hopeandjoy2

Have a good evening Quaby

Hi bmonk

Unusual for me to up this late, will be leaving soon but not yet.

I’m here still, very much relaxing and enjoying the night.

Hmm! I have an idea…..Hold on for a moment.

TA-DAH!

I’m past relaxing being up this late. Have been checking some things on the web and am about to finish watching some bull riding on TV. Will be easier once I’m in bed!

PBR I like that show too.

Bill Jones that was the man that passed the $100,000,000 payout for the PBR last week had his leg steped on by the bull when he was thrown off. Looked bad but he will be okay.

That’s painfully horrible. Thank goodness he wasn’t speared by the horns.

See you later Little Sister.

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

♪☼ P&L ☼♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

See you tomorrow Sojo. :-)
