Little Sister, I hope you are still enjoying school. You haven’t put any of your teacher’s faces on your kick-boxing bag yet, have you?

I may be too tired to sleep, may I have a Divine CocoMocha so I can wake up enough to sleep. And Kitty would love his platter. He really enjoys having Katrina around more to keep him company.

Here you go Sojo, Have fun on the toon tour. :-)

Yes you may have the Divine Cocoa Mocha Big Sister.

Good Morning, LuvH8

♠Lonewolf♠, I was asleep for about an hour. But am now wide awake. Must have slept too well last night.

My teachers are pretty cool, but you never know how long that will last.

Thank you Little Sister, may I also have a grilled cheese sandwich, the chocolate brownies with green M&Ms

Itchies! Itchies! Itchies!

I answered your question @ R & R, ♠Lonewolf♠.

Yes you may Big Sister There is plenty for everyone. Even the lurkers.

Don’t scratch!!!

Good morning Lonewolf, Sojo, Grog, LuvH8 and LittleSister.

Thankew Lil Sis

Big Sister Did you brush up against Poison oak or get a mosquito bite or something,

I have to go to bed now. See you all later.

Good Morning Frankr.

Grog - I’m trying my laptop in bed before falling asleep, should be easier when I get my lap desk.

Good Night LuvH8 and Little Sister.

You changed the picture, LuvH8!

Good Night, LuvH8 & Little Sister.

Good night, everyone else!

Great picture, LuvH8

Good Night, Lil’ Sister

Pop

Ay, Antonio - fugetaboudit - I know a guy. Fix you right up.

toon tour

Poof

Good morning Tribe

Yeah, once again I am up early. Hopefully I won’t need any 5-Hour Energy….but I had a restless night. Dunno why but have narrowed it down to two possibilities:

1) the wonderful smells and gently clinking cutlery of breakfast.

2) the glass of dark, glowing liquid at the end of the spigot of the pipe which mysteriously appeared overnight in my room.

Either way it’s nice to pop into the BT ‘off schedule’.

Good Morning, Doctor Toon, Quaby &……..

Runs with Beer!!!

Good Morning Tribe!

Hey there, Doc, Grog, Quaby, RwB & Sir Lewreader!

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Hey, ♠Lonewolf♠

LITTLE SISTER Your veggie platter (complete with salami) sounds wonderful. On the good DOC’S advice, I’ve been whistling for eons but to no avail. Could I please have a liter or two of his famous concoction?

LUVH8 Ct. Legislature passed a bill about wild animals last month after someone had their face ripped off. There for, Bradley International Airport is heavily guarded and the highways are closely watched. I f KITTY & KATRINA ever threaten my two purring balls of fur again, I’m calling in the Cat Whisperer. I also bought a Super Soaker and am prepared to use it.

Morning TRIBE* My town announced 20% vacancy in retail space today. Add on 40% of office space empty and you can see a great opportunity. Move to Hartford and start a business while the rents are cheap. With new health insurance regulations becoming effective today, our prime industry will leave plenty of space.

Good Morning, Lewreader

Good Morning Doc, Lew, Terry and GROG!

Hope you’re doing indoor work with AC, Terry. gonna be a mite on the warm and sticky side today.

Some work in the a/c, but most of it outside in the heat today, RwB.

Doc, tell GmaT I said “Hello”.

Good Morning Peoples!

Sir Lew, neither Kitty nor Katrina have ever threatened your two little balls of fur or yourself. They are both very well behaved. They do however really like water, so bring on the supersoaker. They love to play.

Hello, LuvH8

Good morning tribal members for some reason lap top won’t let me copy and paste names. Lonewolf, BBS, Little Sister, Rmom, RwB, Grog, Doctor Toon, lewreader, Montana Lady, especially Kitty

Good Morning, Kab

Hello Sister Kab, Grog, Lonewolf, Doc T, Runs With Beer, Sir Lew and Lurkers

GM LuvH8.

Have to go find out who thinks a $3800 laptop is a snack tray……GRR Just spent 3 hours cleaning it.

Oops

POOF!

Is it bedtime yet?

Good Morning All!

Good Morning, Digital Frog

Doc: I’m surprised you’re tampering with the recipe for Nuclear Coffee, especially in light of it’s recent notoriety. But I trust that you’ll come up with the right combination of grounds, procedure and fissionable materials.

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

Hello to all those here!

Good Morning, Sojourner

Good Morning Grog.

Good Morning Digital Frog, Frankr and Sojo

Good Morning LuvH8.

I just got my laptop desk. Now it will be eaiser to use in bed without worrying about blocking the cooling vents.

@LuvH8, and you other football end afficionados: Janis of Arlo & Janis seems to agree with you about what counts in football

(I just read this today–one of our Sunday papers has to come in the mail, which often takes 2 or 3 days, or even longer.)

Oh, yes:

GOOD MORNING, Tribe and All!

Especially DFrog, Grog, Frankr, LuvH8, & Sojo.

Good Morning bmonk. LOL

Good Morning Doctor Toon.

Good Morning, bmonk

@DocT, is that because the caffeine jolt is needed as your body mutates–err, adjusts, while the taste buds have long been burned away?

Thank you Bmonk, that is a good way to choose winners. I will have to start looking up pictures.

Cool Sojo, now you can start planning breakfast.

And then there’s break-… that is, lunch.

I’ll have corn on the cob, and graze on the veggie platter. Then I’ll fry up some Polish Sausages to serve on Kaiser rolls, and make the pan scrapings into dark gravy for, well, whatever–but over mashed potatoes or rice is best.

Nom nom nom nom

Nuclear Coffee Experimenting?!?!? I’ll do it! I’ll do it!

(See what trouble–err…interesting discussions–I can cause just by showing up?)

Kab Buch said, about 13 classes ago

… Since class just started this week and I don’t want to bother instuctor more then necessary I just want to get class done.

Don’t forget: that’s the instructor’s job: to help you. That’s what his or her paycheck is for, and why (usually) you are paying for the class. If you don’t ask, you won’t get the specific help you need. And many–though not all– instructors are very gratified to be asked with real problems. It’s why they went into teaching in the first place.

Oh this can’t go well. Doc if LuvH8’s experimenting, I’ll be over by Ginger Meggs. that’ll give me about a 70 toon buffer between BT and me.

@DocT, can I bring the Magnesium and the Sea Salt? Or would you rather have the oak planks today?

bmonk - Good advice! I remember in college how instructers begged students to stop into their office and ask them for help. I had a question in Biology class the day befoe an exam and went to the instructer to ask him about it. He took out a piece of paper and started explaning things I didn’t even ask him, writting down the answers to what he was saying. He told me to learn what he had written. The next day taking the test I realized he had written down all the answers on that paper and I was able to answer all the questions. I was the only student that went in to see him.

I think this looks like a good time to work on something else on my computer.

Yes, but there are very few who would actually act on those “discussions”, bmonk. That’s when the trouble starts.

Ahh, but–except in the virtual world, I live over 1000 miles from LuvH8.

It should be safe here.

I hope.

Ummm……. we already know magnesium is NOT A GOOD IDEA!

That is how we lost the table. It ate away the unobtanium protective coating.

I have to get ready and take Gma to the doctor this morning. Also, I will want assistance, maybe Sunday during those football games would be a good time?

We will of course need volunteers to try the …. ummm… the delightful gourmet blends.

Sounds good to me.

Hey all the instructor always says ask her questions. I need to find out why not use discussion board to reach students on-line. She has reprimanded some for using text style messages and grading down. Me I find text message as a certain some not on here now at times confusing. Bmond, The Sojourner I have been emailing instructor a lot on questions.on topic I just don’t know how much to write. Also

Hi Kab

Sleep well Doctor Toon..

The gerbils are fine Doc T I gave them some coffee grounds with their fruit, so they could protect themselves against the pelicans. I just hope the pelicans don’t do what they do on the furniture.

Doc brought the pelicans and gerbils. Whatever happens is Not My Fault!!!

Rest in Piece, Doc T

Hi Sister Kab Ask questions until you understand.

Kablooey!!!

Bye LuvH8.

I will not be available this Sunday. That is too bad.. Or maybe it’s a good thing.

LuvH8 said, about 1 half entendre ago

Rest in Piece, Doc T

Shouldn’t that either be “Rest in Peace” or (more likely after drinking all that Nuclear Coffee) “Rest in Pieces”?

Bmonk,

I was merely wishing for Doc T to remain in one piece until he approves the final blends of Nuclear Coffee.

Quick thinking LuvH8. :-)

But he can fall apart any time after he’s given his seal of approval….

I was thinking of that guy in “Lawnmower Man”, I think it was, who went all dotty… .

Good afternoon Tribeandall!

Good Afternoon ♠Lonewolf♠.

Hi, Sojo! How are you doing, my friend?

♠Lonewolf♠ - Late lunch or finished work? Getting iTunes set up. To get default file location had it disconnect external drive, unload and reload iTunes. Copying files now, don’t know how long it wil take.

I just took a quick break, Sojo. I’ll be back in about an hour and a half.

POP! Just leaving a quick marker, I still need to make my gocomics rounds. I’m running late, just got home from getting “kinky & stinky” - my hair permed - what were you thinking? POOF!

I was thinking that you slipped in a pile of —- and got a kink in your neck from the jolt.

What else could you have meant?

@LuvH8, LOL! Your comment reminds me of “Shaving Cream”.

Good afternoon Tribesters!

Hi again All

They’re coming to take me away–ha ha

As long as you aren’t happy they took me away…

Just because I live in a split level head?

Hi to one et all of you under the Big Top

We are taking a vacation somewhere west and north and will be gone a week. I will check in when we return.

Take care of each other and don’t anything too crazy while I am gone…I would hate to miss out on the fun. Cheers

I may never get a vacation. Found out instructor not grading anything until next week. Sorry I missed hope&joy2. Well for that disconnetect scanner dept I work at DIO customer service will have to come in my area to work deeper. Tech guy thinks he has found problem.

What they need is BBS famous bombs that would take care of it.

Hello everyone:-)

Hi Hopeandjoy2, Kab, Doctor Toon and Little Sister.

Well, hello there Sojo. How’s your new lap top working out?

Little Sister - Great, in a few min. I’ll have iTunes transfered over to it. I first thought it wouldn’t be done until morning and I wouldn’t make it for turnover. Started transfering files over 7 hrs. ago. Hope your day has been good.

I changed my mind. I’m going to stay in.

My day was fine. I was invited to one of my friends Birthday party this Saturday.

I won’t be too long good news finally. Hello Little Sister when you have Understand Psychology you’ll find out. I finally earned my point and got the plus I needed. Took a lot of hard work and frustration to gain the right type of sentence structure for discussion board on subject matter. Hey The Sourner I’ve been using my new Lap Top alot. I had trial version of student 2007 found out there is no outlook that is needed. One problem when I try to get on Jr. college website still having problems. I will have to contact At&t for solution. Little Sister my daughter said goodbye to her best friend. Her best friend wanted a different type of life and drinks heavily. This so called friend was a deep user of her. Her former friend has moved out of US to a another country.

I’m going to try to go to bed earlier and try to get to some much needed sleep. All week it’s been rough. Wonder if due to meno pod for older women. Getting much need rain today. Roof guy licensed said we have damage from last weeks hail damage. Waiting on Insurance.

That is so sad Sister Kab

Kab - If Outlook is the e-mail program Microsoft has it for free download (new version is called something else) as they no longer bundle it with their software or you could use any other program, there are many good free ones like Thunderbird.

Little Sister way my daughter feels about use to be her best friend, this young lady is gifted in eduation wantting to be a lawyer. But she is demanding and pleades. She treated I should say our daughter like she owned her. If she where back here she would want our daughter to spend rent money for more control and desitnated driver. This girl doesn’t go to bed until 3 or 4 am. Our daughter is glad to be done with her. The Sojourner now after we loaded 2010 we got this on ebay for $110. Far less then $500.

Wonder when does one use than and then for sentences?

Little Sister I believe our daughter has grown up more then her friend. This former friend grew up fairly fast her mother taught her to clean up early in life. She was allowed to play with games or some toy’s just to put away when done. She has older sister and half siser. When she got older did a lot of baby siting. I started to say we here get a lot more sleep and less stress due to our daughter being home not coming in at nearly dawn. Our daughter has taken a lot responsiblities with two dogs. Female Godlen called Ginger is I think 4 little Jr. called Jake is 15 weeks old.

I have a question The Sojourner this thunderbird that is downloaded will this affect 2010 professional?

Just checked in before bed-ee-bye…KABHugs for your daughter…..she is very brave. Hope all goes well for her and you too in school.

Hope your vacation is good DOC Ours is heading for Wyo and we will see how far we get…Hubby has never been up that way. SOJOGlad you have your lap top running. Be good LuvH8

Nite now, Lonewolf, bmonk, Little Sister, Rmom (with new perm) and tribe on page 3

Hi,tribe! Kab - Use “than” when you are comparing. ”I like this better than that.” Use “then” for something that comes later. ”I’m going to finish up, and then I’m going to bed.”

Good night, hope&joy! I hope you have a joyful trip!!

Wow, I didn’t realize how late it is. Sojo - Are you staying up late tonight? I need to head to bed, see you all later!

You’re right Sister Kab Your daughter doesn’t need that kind of friend. I’m glad that she is fine now and doing good.

Kab - Thunderbird is an e-mail program and will not bother other programs. If you have another e-mail program you can set what you want as default to use. It’s a matter of personal preference what you use. Thunderbird has an add-on for a calender and task manager. It may be that Microsoft links information from their e-mail program with their other programs. I don’t know or care, someone that knows more about that may be able to help you better.

Rmom - As I don’t fall asleep easy and have a laptop I can use in bed I will be trying to make turnover most times. Probably won’t be able to post anything for breakfast for at least a week.

For all heading to bed have a good night!

Good Evening Tribeandall!

Good Evening ♠Lonewolf♠.

Hi there, Sojo!

I don’t see Grog here this evening. I hope he’s okay.

Hopeandjoy2- - - -

Have a great vacation!!!

Good Night, Rmom. Rest well!
