Big Top by Rob Harrell for May 11, 2009

Wink is to cute. How can she leave even if he is a little to excited.

Okay, since I am first today, I will make hangtown fries, country fried potatoes, extra bitter orange marmalade, coffee (no name, but I could give doctortoon a run for his money) and fresh fruit and my homemade wheat bread.

mmmmm, and I will sit here and watch. (and maybe drool a little.) Actually I am going to bed good night cleo, and everyone else.

Good night johnnydoc.

Poor Wink. This is what happens to me. I’m leaving some warm apple fried pies. Grab ‘em before they cool. I’m turning in, Nite-all!

Good morning everyone. cleo thanks for the bread. RadK thanks for the pies - they are still good cold.

I’m not sure it’s working as well as you think but this is familiar.

Mornin’ all!

Cleo I’ll have to remember your B.O. remark. Clever!

Pookid I can relate to the voices, but as long as I didn’t answer mine eventually quieted. At least for a while.

Poor Wink!

You need to work on toning that down a bit Wink. Morning All, Thanks for the breakfast and coffee, Cleo.

It’s about time the men take care of breakfast! Thank you, Cleo!

And what are “hangtown” fries?

morning all. going catch up only 13 here not sure how much you talked last night, but going catch up ill be back soon.

well doc this tribal member sure did miss you! Hope you’re back on a regular basis again!

Morning Marker 16 Morning everyone, I gotta finish some backyard bamboo destruction, then I can return. Trying to remove Bamboo is worse than pulling teeth, those roots are like trying to drag a 30’ centipede from the ground.

Dry, a hangtown fry is scrambled eggs with bacon and oysters. It’s generally served with biscuits, but I had some leftover boule, so I made a fresh loaf of wheat bread. And I am a fiend for really good orange marmalade.

So hello to all who are still up/ are up. anyways. Hope you are all having a great day today. Doc i missed you also. your going to have to send me some cat pics. they are so great. i think it is time for me to change my pic to something else. you guys never got to see the rest of the prom pics. sorry. not sure about putting them back up. :(

doctortoon you didn’t act like you were high or anything. The way I knew something was wrong, is you kept talking about going to bed and it’s the first time you have mentioned the bed as a vehicle for sleep. LOL

if all the rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops oh what a rain taht would be, standing out side with my mouth open wide singing ah ah aha oh what a rain that would be.

if all the snow flakes were candy bars and milk shakes oh what a snow that would be standing outside with my mouth open wide singing ah aha ahh ahha ah oh waht a snow that would be.

if all the rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops oh what a rain taht would be, standing out side with my mouth open wide singing ah ah aha oh what a rain that would be.

so to all you parents out there, does that bring back memories??? give u three guess as to whear that came from. :D

I see the tribe is doing quite a nice job of spreading the news of my love of life sans clothes around gocomics. I had to answer back on Non Sequitur a few minutes ago. Pretty soon they will slap an NC17 sticker onto my behind. LOL chek out yesterdays bliss…lol and good morning to one and all including the new commers to our 3 ring circus..thanks for the breakfast

Caught your comment Owlsly and for me, putting on a suit and tie is the equivalent of waterboarding.

Morning tribe! I want to thank everyone for the kind words yesterday - I am touched by your kindness. I think I’ll contribute some bacon and homemade biscuits with sausage gravy for breakfast. I love breakfast food, but since I’m not a morning person (like Calvin is today) I do better at cooking, AFTER my caffeine has taken effect. I warned my hubby when I got married, that it was dangerous for me to cook before about 10am - eggshells might end up in the scrambled eggs, etc. Therefore, I can probably count on one hand the number of times in our almost 25 years when I’ve made breakfast before he left for work. Also, haven’t had to pack his lunch after telling him early on about the pranks my mom used to pull on my dad for April Fool’s day - and most of them had to do with his packed lunch. He does enjoy my cooking when I’m awake enough to read my recipe.

ditto Cleo..I dont even own A suit

I’ve been telling my hubby he needs to buy another suit, because he’s outgrown all of his old ones, and I think he ought to wear one for Mom’s funeral. Our sons fit almost perfectly into his old ones, so their wardrobes are supplied. None of my guys like dressing up, but they sure look good when they do! My hubby would like to (un)dress like Cleo, but our sons don’t enjoy the view. With yesterday’s Non Sequitur, I kept wondering what mosquitoes ate before the Fall?

RRAmom can i call you Rmom*? i am looking for easer ways to get all the names right of the new comers, (sorry) if yuo dont like it tell me and ill use what yuo have.

i read your comment on stone soup that is funny. also i hate cooking but have to do it. i so said cook better when im tired. who knows how that happend.

tabbylynn - I’m a parent, but I sure don’t recognize those lyrics. But then, my kids usually watch videos instead of TV programs - easier to filter out the commercials and other unwanted stuff.

tabby - no problem. As long as something’s not meant as an insult, I’ll answer to about anything. (RRA stands for River Ridge Academy - the name we gave our homeschool when we registered it with the state as a private non-accredited school.)

Have a seat, doc. What you said about some things are worth a little pain, reminds me of what my hubby said not that long ago - he had neck surgery in March. I believe he was referring to the same activity.

Rmom once all the other parents get on i will give them a chance to see if they know it, i will tell you all what it comes from. it is one a video now, used to and still plays on tv.

so you home school? that is realy cool. i am becoming a teacher, so i could home school my kids (when i have them) if i wanted to, but i am not sure about it yet.

wow, i am totaly blown away right now. Ana went to bed at 9 last night, slept till about 7 and is now asleep in the chair and its only 9:43 am. she must not be feeling good. my poor baby girl. she slept all night. she had about 10 hours of sleep. it is strange for her to sleep so much. i hope she is okay. she is snoring. lol sha baby.

cleo those hangtown fries sound delicious! Care to share the recipe? You know how!

morning DOC how are you feeling today? did you sleep well? also when do you have to go back to work? we will miss you when you go. :(

tabby that’s one I’m not familiar with, but my guess is Ana taught you that one!

Good Morning everyone. Tabby, I remember that song, that was back in the good ole days. All this talk about food has made me hungry, despite all the talk about nudity. I must get some grub. I’ll be back in a jiffy.

Dry and Jdoc good morning!!! jdoc i can sing along with that song and more of them. you are so giving away your age. lol *Dry i knew that song b4 ana did. that is scary. she just reminded me of it.

Morning all. cleo- thanks for the hangtown fries umm love oysters especially fresh from Apalachacola. Anyone seen margueritem today? I usually see her comments before now. Hope she survived Mother’s Day.

Good morning all!

Cleo when you joked about slapping an NC17 sticker on you, the first thing that came to mind was ”Why would they say she’s the starship Enterprise” - then realized it was NC17 not NCC1701. But before I get the deluge of comments, I am a trekker, not a trekkie! - I haven’t even been to see the new movie yet.

tabby Given my own experience when my sons laid around and slept, first thing I did was feel their forehead. Every time they were warm and coming down with a cold.

Dry she is hot bloded. ( for real) she always feels warm. i am about to check though. she looks like is feels okay and i asked her earler, being as smart as she is she can tell me. bb in a min going check on her and find food.

Dry she feels a little warmer then normal. God please let her be okay. i am a worry wart. okay there it is out. :D

No worries Tabby, I am sure she will be fine. She sounds like a tough cookie. I think I know what that song is from, but I will let you tell everyone, because I might be wrong. *DF* Live long and prosper.

tabby you’re going to be a great mom someday! I’m sure if she is sick, it’s just a little cold. 100% fruit juice, chicken soup, applesauce, bananas, all help with colds.

doctortoon, no in reference to Citizen Dog, no I also have a dangling participle.

Dry, thanks. and no need to worry i am not becoming a mom ANY TIME SOON. i dont want this stress day in and day out. it is a joy and i love her as my own, but i cant do that now. i am still young and i need to have a life b4 i start living for others. (((hugs)))

doc I just saw citizen dog! LOL

cleo I told you you would never live that one down!! Didn’t believe me did ya’!

so i checked out citizen dog also, thanks a nother commic i have to remember to get off of this one to go see. lol

poor baby, shes having a bad dream… makes me wanna cry. :(

Dry the way I make Hangtown fries. Fry bacon that’s been cut into bite size pieces. Add oysters dusted in breadcrumbs and cook until just lightly browned. Remove oysters and bacon. Whisk eggs and add to pan with butter if needed, add tabasco and pepper. When eggs are scrambled, but still wet, add bacon and oysters to reheat. Serve. Garnish with chives or Italian parsley. Dill isn’t usually used as a topper, but I sometimes add it because it is good with seafood.

so new pic is up. lol i am a couple of days behind sorry. take a close look Doc will love it, for sure.

SIGH

Doc last post not clear to me. lol what are you trying to say? its the drugs isnt it? lol

tabby - I don’t know the laws in your state for homeschooling (they vary by state) but I don’t think you have to be trained as a teacher in any of them. The homeschool moms who I know have been trained as teachers say that it is sometimes a disadvantage, because it is harder to “think outside the box”. I did accounting until I became a “stay-at-home” mom. The only subjects I wished I’d had taken to help me teach our sons were higher math & science. There are ways to get around that handicap (like having them take those courses from someone else) but it would have been very helpful. My plan for my post-homeschooling work is to substitute teach. I already meet the requirements for private schools in KS, but will need to take more college hours (in whatever courses I want) to meet the state’s requirements for public school teachers. Looking back on the last almost 20 years of staying at home, I don’t regret it a bit. My sons both love me, and tell me so, plus hugs are a frequent occurance. Considering they are 16 & 19, I know that is unusual at those ages. When it comes to riding with teenaged drivers, I really relate to Jeremy (Zits) mom, but that’s about it. I keep thinking that someone ought to start a comic about a homeschooling family, believe me, there would be plenty of funny situations to draw upon.

JFri I feel your pain! Your son just left didn’t he?

Rmom my dream job is to become a teacher. i want to teach 1st grade. so in about 5 years i can be teaching. i dont plan on having kids anytime soon. also i am single and 19 years old. i am not sure of the requirements either. hugs are a very odd thing from BOYS no matter the age. lol

doc I’ve been making deposits for you!

RRAmom there you go. You can start a new career!

2 pages already? I have to leave for a doctor appt soon. I had to read all these comments first. JFri, why the sigh?

brb have to change a bottom. ugh. tired of that.

I forget how to do this, can’t find my notes, but if you want to see something hilarious, go to: http://travisablmultiply.com/video/item/73/the MississippiSquirrelRevival.flv

doc is there a you tube video similar to cleo’s dance number?

Dry it did not work… idk why.

Doc that makes more since. lol im slow sometimes. i knew you would love it. lol.

Dry YUP!

tabby, I agree that you need some time before becoming a parent. I married at 25, had my first baby at 30. Children do best with both a mom and a dad, so don’t rush into parenthood, until you’ve got someone who’ll make a great dad.

Carmy, Dry nailed it….my son & daughter-in-law left!

tabby then just type it in in the search bar,it’s worth it, at least I thought it was! I didn’t link it here ‘cuz I couldn’t remember how, so I just typed it in.

“It’s about time the men take care of breakfast! Thank you, Cleo!”

Hey, I’ll bring the cold pizza anytime! And if that’s not enough, there’s always toast: I’m good at peanut butter toast, or even sunflower seed butter toast for those alergic to nuts.

Dry - thanks for the encouragement! I’m not too sure how I’ll do at teaching a whole group, as I prefer one-on-one. But since I’ll hit the big 50 this summer, I don’t want to start working constantly. Accounting wasn’t creative enough for me - I’d rather be ethical. Substitutes are in demand I hear, and since I’ve taught every grade, at least I should be able to handle the subject matter. I’ll have to check with the administration on which discipline tactics are still allowed, but I plan on teaching in smaller districts where once my reputation is known, the kids will be less likely to keep testing me. I don’t like playing the “bad cop” but sometimes it is necessary.

Dry* i typed it in and which one do i click. i am so crazy special when it comes to computers. lol sorry bear with me.

marg where ARE you???? I saw you post elsewhere! Don’t make me come after you….I will bring the pirate!!! Dry after my family’s near death experience yesterday and your comments about my cooking, indoors or out….:-P

RRAmom Good for you, but I actually meant you should be the cartoonist that does the strip on homeschooling! :-)

I often wish I had gone into teaching, not for the right reasons. Every time summer rolls around is when I get the urge!

I know this is long, but I just had to share with all you cat lovers.

PET DIARIES

As seen in a dog’s diary:

8am – Oh boy! Dog food! My favorite! 9am – Oh boy! A car ride! My favorite! 10am – Oh boy! A walk! My favorite! 11am – Oh boy! A car ride! My favorite! Noon – Oh boy! The kids! My favorite! 1pm – Oh boy! The yard! My favorite! 2pm – Oh boy! The kids! My favorite! 3pm – Oh boy! The kids! My favorite! 4pm – Oh boy! Dog food! My favorite! 5pm – Oh boy! Mom! My favorite! 7pm – Oh boy! Playing ball! My favorite! 9pm – Oh boy! Sleeping in Master’s bed! My favorite!

As seen in a cat’s diary:

Day 198 of my captivity…

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. Today my attempt to kill my captors be weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded – must try this at the TOP of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair – must try this on their bed. Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a “good little cat” I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan. There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices; I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of “allergies.” Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. However, I can wait; it is only a matter of time….

@RRAmom, that reminds me of the fellow who sat down to lunch every day, opened his paper bag to pull out a bologna sandwich, and exclaim, “Bologna again! I hate bologna!”

Well, after this went on for three days, one of his fellow workers suggested he just let his wife know he hated bologna.

“But you don’t understand! I’m the one who packs my lunch!”

(I know, I know. I have a seriously warped sense of humor.)

And, another thought: RRAmom, why don’t you start the comic strip about homeschooled families? Write about what you know, after all…

@tabbylynn, I hope you don’t mind my using your name over at Calvin and Hobbes, but I felt it fit…

bmonk When we went to visit my great Italian aunt, we always had peanut butter toast for breakfast, and we would dip it in coffee. When I was a kid, I was allowed to have coffee that way and only that way. Go figure!

By the way, I am allergic to tree nuts (deathly), but peanuts are a legume, and almonds are related to the peach. But I think you already knew all about my allergy from my message at Pib one time!

tabby just try typing in the Mississippi Squirrel Revival and see what happpens!

I might have to write on the schedule of Boomerangs - I don’t want to work hard enough to have a daily strip.

I hope anyone who wants to, can link to it somehow.

This might work:

http://travisab1.multiply.com/video/item/73/The_Mississippi_Squirrel_Revival.flv

The trick is to put a backslash before each underscore (or asterisk) in these cases.

JFri sorry you’re depressed. If your weather had changed to the boring light downpour with the sky gray with no definition we have going on here, it can just make the situation all that much more dreary.

bmonk Great joke! My hubby packed himself a peanut butter sandwich, day after day. Once he started working where there’s a fridge & microwave, he switched to leftovers. At least I cooked supper when I was fully awake, and they’d already been vetted to be prank-free.

Bmonk I would think anyone allergic to nuts would be avoiding this group of people, especially me… . RRAMom - Loved the diaries!

By the way, Drystyha, great video! If I wasn’t at work, I’d be laughing and rolling on the floor!

Good one, Digitalfrog! I’ll admit to being a little nutty - it helps when you teach your own children.

so my computer craped out on me give me a few min to catch up and see what a friend has sent me. hold on.

by the way RRAmom and bmonk funny jokes!!!

docyes, we are a force to be reckoned with!

one of our tribal members is missing, and she better “haul a^^” over here pretty directly

Oh wow, that was an interesting link Dry. And the diaries were hilarious RRAmom. Wow, that was a good laugh. *DF* is right, we are nuts, LOL.

Bmonk i dont mind you using my name. i went see and i commented on it also.

my computer is being stupid today. lol i think i fixed it, for now.

BMonk & Dry - loved the squirrel video, poked around on that site and came across this hilarious one for Doc and the other cat people: http://tinyurl.com/qn4bgg

Drystyha We may have to work on this comic strip idea together, because I was thinking it would be very helpful for me to have an artist.

Rmom and Dry you guys should do it. get eachouthers email and team up. i would read it. it would be a blast. go for it.

*DF* OMG! What can I say, the tears are still rolling down my face! Thanks so much!!! :-D

bbs food is here.

doc I found her!

Joy we’re a chatty group today! I figured you were here all along! :-)

I’m at work! But I can quit doing this anytime I want to! Right, doc?

No Joy we don’t do alright without you!

AAAAARRRRRRRR, Joy, me darlin’! ‘Twas certain ye be doin’ the ol’ henna rinse fer our cruise to Montego Bay tonight!

*DF* watched the cat video and the poor guy couldn’t get any privacy during his bathroom ordeal. LOL

Joy welcome how r you today? we dont do alright without you. the only reason we have this many is bc we have somany new faces and we also have me here all day. :D you guys all know that i am a bit chatty. also im hiding from ana right now. told her i was going potty and if she followed me she would have to potty like a big girl. lol she is po with me now. still sitting at the table playing w/ lunch. lol i am a terrible person.

Joy don’t be sellin’ yeaself short! This ol’ pirate missed ye aplenty!! Only yer acceptance of me offer fer a date tonight kept me agoin’!

joy I see your date has turned up too! Wait a minute … you were missing, and so was he!! Alright, what the devil were you two up too?

doc you and I were wondering where they were. We should have known. Those two…

time to pick up a kid! BBL!

Doc Keep an eye on those two!

Dry, I watched the Mississippi squirrel revival and all I can say is see all the trouble you can get in by wearing clothes. LOL

AAAAAARRRRRRR, doc, ‘tis a good thing, too, that ye eyes be gettin’ heavy or ye may end up with just one to watch us with!

Dry meeither. i have to take wild child outside b4 she is drives me crazy. ahhh. im getting close to being crazy.

Aye, Joy some of th’ crew can come along as long as they behave themselves & respect our privacy! I be crustin’ th’ edge of ye old keg with salt as we speak!! On ye olde menu we have mullet stew, steamed clams, fresh salmon, beer steamed shrimp, a wee bit o’ lobster and rum raisin cake fer desert! May even throw in some corn on the cob…got it fer only a buck an ear!!

AAAARRRRRR, Tribe members! As i was walkin’ down th’ street ta other day a lady asked me if I be a pirate? Me reply was “what in blue blazes do ye think I am if not a pirate?” Then she says to me “If a pirate ye be then where are yer buccaneers?” I told her they was under me buckin’ hat, where else?

digiFrog: I love how the cat lit a match to help clear the air.

Dry: Cute video. I can see why that would make Cleo nervous about wearing clothes.

JFri: I’m here, just didn’t have much to say. Please don’t send that buccaneer with his buckin’ hat after me!

Joy: Nice to see you. The pirate was getting worried.

Cleo: Just as long as you don’t use praire oysters in that hangtown fry.

well before I left I was going to say marg was missing too, but here she is! :-)

marg - Are prairie oysters the same as mountain oysters?

okay, who sent the rain??? not even funny. Ana and myself were playing out side. and then BAMM there was the rain.

RRAmom says:

marg - Are prairie oysters the same as mountain oysters?

Yes, they are!

Joy, sorry, I think the rain is heading this way too. 50% chance for tonight and 60% chance for tomorrow. At least it will be in the 70’s.

Dry? you tricked me, I thought it was Rad with the marker report.

You shouldn’t use a permanent marker though, now that’s never going to come off…

carmy I got so excixed to see all the posts so I put in a marker.

I wonder if Joy and our pirate will let us come aboard tonite?

Last night we washed and dried a load of clothes. I found a capped ink pen in the dyer when I removed the clothes. I took off the cap off the pen and got blue ink all over my left hand. I got it off with alcohol.

shucks, Joy I missed sayin’ good night! Well if the creeks rise, pirate can come to the rescue with his boat!

margprairie oysters are best saved for other uses. LOL

AAAAAARRRRRRRR, Dry, did ye miss the invite above? Look again! That thar Joy…she be sech a kidder! Pretendin’ to head to sleep when we have our big date tonight! AAARRRR, be this post 150???

cleo that’s disgusting!!! LOL

BBL got a soap to watch!

157 posts - that’s a lot to catch up on. I think I’m half way through, but I may have to come back later and finish up.

Hope everyone is doing fine. I didn’t see anything to be worried in the first half (except for little Ana). All of our sick people seem to be ok now :-)

Akenta I even got my stitches out today! WOOHOO!

Aye, aye Carmy, I be on me way!

congrats JFri - did it leave a nice scar?

JFri, happy for you. You’re healing quickly. Go get em.

Akenta Little Ana is doing a lot better, turns out she was swetting bc the house is hot. she is fine. wide awake and crazy as heck as normal. she is fine and crazy. brused my knee for me and she smells a little funny. lol played outside alot.

Akenta not yet but it WILL eventually leave 3 scars!

pookid & commicaddict I left you both comments on Pooch Cafe.

to all of you parents out there… do i want to have kids?? tell me the truth is it really worth it??? yes they are cute and loving and oh so sha, but gosh i need a break.

–{—@ check it out. can you tell what it is???

oh by the way. the song form page one. is from Barney…. you got to love it….. NOT how does one type sacatisticly? (sp)

tabbylynn, in my opinion Barney is the most annoying program in the world. Take old purple Barney out and the woods then lose him. Hopefully, it will take him weeks to find his way out. Or, better yet, shouldn’t he be extinct? LOL

tabby looks like a rose

I type sarcastically by either putting a smiley at the end or an lol (and I had to use the spell checker to spell the word right)

Akenta i know i spelt it wrong i just dont remember how i got spell check on here a while back. i need it bigtime. lol thanks for your help

cleo i need to kill barney. i hate it. the only reason i deal with it is bc that bleeep kid love it and it keeps her quite of a long time. the songs get stuck in your head and that is bad, but what can i do?

hey guess what…. Ana is gone… for now. she will be back in a few hours till then i am going to get cleaned up and take a break sit back and watch a moive or read. also eat. see you all later. it may be a late night. peace and love to all of those who leave b4 i get back.

it is a rose. sorry, Akenta.

tabby your avatar is not a rose, unless you’re talking about something else! :-)

Having kids is great, but it’s also a lot of work, a lot of joy, a lot of crying sometimes, but you already know that, so give yourself a break after Ana, college, career, etc. You think of Ana as your own, but wait until he/she is your own!

Wow, Dry I gave you a raspberry & you ignored it? What IS this world coming to?

JFri where did you give me a raspberry? Musta missed it! So :-P

Akenta yea you missed a lot today, and I didn’t have a lot to do at work, so I was on here! I know, that was bad! :-(

I need some sunshine. I am staring at a weather forecast for seven days of possible showers. How In the world did I end up in the Pacific Northwest?

cleo I don’t know! How did you?

Dry page 2 :-P

Hey, Cleo we’ve had sunshine most of the day!!!!! :-P tabby being a parent is worth every minute of it! Just don’t rush into it! Take your time, breathe a little, live a lot!

JFri that comment must have posted later than when you typed it! I honestly didn’t see it! But the truth is the truth about your cooking! LOL, bud!

tabby also what JFri said about being a parent!

I’ll have to get off soon. My son wants to play his game online and “24” and “CSI Miami” night, so WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

Dry I just answered how I ended up in the PN and it didn’t appear. My parents moved to the Pacific Northwest from North Dakota when I was a junior in high school. All my vacations involve going to the tropics and up until this winter, with the crazy drop in the stock market, we were spending our winters naked in the tropic zone of Texas, down on the very southern tip. Now, I live in such a beautiful location, that I can’t imagine moving to any place better, except when it rains.

cleo read Pooch Cafe. YEAH I remember Karen Valentine! D A ^ ^ Y O U for reminding me I ain’t no spring chicken! Pookid is older than we think, and johnnydoc is a youngin’ (altho he didn’t post over there), but we were wondering about his age!

And since you were talkin’ about sexy babes, I’ll talk about sexy dudes, back in the day, Tom Selleck, Gordan McRaney, James MacArthur! and a few others!

Dry, do you perhaps mean Gerald McRaney? He was always in such good shape. I wonder what happened to him. But, then again, I haven’t seen TV in 4 years.

By the way, getting back to Big Top, I assumed that in panel 4 that was his paw in the left hand corner, but it sure looks like a little smiling face.

I guess if I tilt my head I see a smiley face…

Marker 191

Dry the pic is not a rose. a post i posted is one. (?) lol

Cleo im with akenta if i tilt my head i can see it im sure its his paw though.

i have had a few guys come up to me and do something of the sorts. lol

There’s no tilting your head involved Akenta. And it is not a smiley face, just his paw (I guess) with what look like two black eyes a big black nose and a little slash for a mouth. Oh, never mind. I do have a pretty active imagination.

Cleo we understand you hang around a bunch of crazy people on the computer all day. its okay.

I know it’s a paw, but if I tilt my head, I see a smiley face lol

His paw does look like a smiley face. How ‘bout that?

Time for me to say good night. Guess I’ll see how much I have to catch up in the morning. Better set my alarm clock to go off earlier just in case.

Night all!!

we are all crazy. and that is that

Well, I am off to a dinner of salmon with asparagus and orange over fresh lemon pepper fettucine. Man, I love having a wife who likes the same food as I do.

G’night Akenta. Cleo, that must be a blessing, but it should be easy for me because I like everything.

Cleo, did you vacation in South Padre Island?

Doc, I can’t believe you’re already going back to work. Has it been a week already?

doctortoon I’m to blame for making so many pages - I noticed my posts were quite lengthy, but I hope you enjoyed the pet diaries. Don’t work too hard.

I would go to South Padre Island carmy. It was about an hour’s drive from where we lived in a little town called Edcouch, believe it or not. We had many good friends there, most all winter Texans, including a large group from Quebec.

Actually RRAmom it doesn’t appear to have anything to do with length of post. It seems to be after every 50 posts it moves to a new page.

Doc, take it easy, don’t want you to have a relapse now.

Actually carmy we were on our way to South Padre Island to spend Christmas, on our way to the Florida Keys. We stopped in for a night at this RV resort in Edcouch and ended up staying that winter and the next. The first winter in Texas we spent some time in Big Bend. But, because I was a travel writer and photographer, we spent most of the time on the road, until 2 years ago.

Cleo, I grew up in Brownsville. It is in the Rio Grande Valley and so is Edcouch. Brownsville is about 30 minutes from South Padre.

Doc be carefull at work. Carmy good evening to you. Rmom good evening to you, also. Cleo hello

i am about to go get ana for the night (again) so i was just droping by to say hi. she should be fin eatting by now and hopefuly tired as heck. be back later. maybe

Doc, good, make sure you stick with that plan.

Hi Tabby, Is everything okay with you?

Carmy i guess. if i have time later i will tell you. i need to go get ana b4 i get killed. sigh. talk to you later. peace and love.

tabbylynn you seem like you have way more responsibility than you need right at the moment. But, you seem to handle it well. Actually, I am very impressed by you in general.

carmy the closest that I have gotten to Brownsville is the Flea Market on the north edge of town. I loved how all the Mexicans visited the market. The caucasion version of that flea market is the Don-Wes market. But, at the Brownsville market, I bought four Hawaiian shirts (not tacky) for $5 a piece, all with their original price tag still attached.

Cleo, you got a good deal on those shirts. We used to get ours on South Padre and we paid more than 5 dollars. :( Tabby, Hope to talk to you tomorrow. It’s late for me and I’m heading down to the jetties for an ocean cruise with 2 great gals and a scurvy pirate. Goodnight All.

Well, I just got all caught up in LOST, and am still lost. Now I know why they call it that.

G’night Carmy, and good luck at work Doc.

thanks carmy I be a bit late for our get together but I think ya’ all will wait for me, especially since I’m bringin’ some extra good food surprises!

Goodnight to the rest of you! As Doc says, P & L to all you great people!

johnnydoc: Any man that likes all kinds of foods is all right with me.

Cleo: I hope that you’ll share some of your photos with us sometime. I’d love to see them.

Joy and Commic: clear sailing to you both.

Goodnight to all who are leaving.
