Hey Dusty, you now have a Hilton granddaughter. Not stolen, found on the street..oops, found through a contest. Have her slip into the towel and slippers and have her meet you in a Hilton bed for videos.
Alright gang, my sonic coffee is on. Today it is blintz day. I also have fruit (my new morning ritual). I have more Hempler’s bacon and ham. I have got to tell you people that don’t live in my proximity, you are missing out on some great pork products when you don’t have Hempler’s. The bacon doesn’t even create grease in a pan. I have also made homemade light wheat bread and once again I have my standby, extra bitter orange marmalade.
Ummm, not really, I guess, I was too young. I mean I like it ok. But I haven’t seen all of the old episodes. I will go see the movie, and I have heard good things about it too, for the most part.
I am old enough to be a fan. It is not like I am anywhere near being a trekie, but I will watch the new movie because it seems to expand the series concept. I ten to like more independent films or foreign movies. I like movies that don’t seem to be trying, but rather capturing a moment in a day or in time.
I’ve never gotten into Star Trek, though I did watch Enterprise for a few seasons since it had Scott Bakula. But then it got too unbelievable even for me. I was slightly interested in the movie when I heard the guy from Heroes was playing Spock, but then I saw a commercial and went back to not caring :-)
I wonder if Paris gets a lot of confessions like that?
Morning. Someone {Shika?} asked about my reference to IE6 yesterday. It’s just an older version of Internet Explorer I have to use at the office to use the tools I have for my job.
And thanks for the trip through TV’s memory lane yesterday. Sorry I missed the trivia. I doubt if I would have placed, let alone won but it looks like y’all had fun.
Good Mourning! not a typo, I’m in mourning for the Sun. Apparently we may not see it until June. We lost our electricity last night as I was getting ready for bed. It came back on in about 1 1/2 hours.
Someone needs to tell Dusty that Grandpa Hilton left all his $$ to charities. Good for him!
Good morning all. I am depressed by another gray morning. Yesterday started out this way, but was beautiful in the afternoon. I want to wake up to sunshine. It really starts my day up better than the funk I’m in at the moment.
Well Joy if you don’t come to us, we will have to come to you. We’ll corral *JFri (who snuck up on me this morning in a boo-rish attempt to scare me) and have him cart us all down there in his boat.
I’m up! What did I miss?? OMG!! WHAT?? ROW?? ME?? I’ll do it but only because Joy can get that pirate to do anything she wants & I don’t want to be the object of his wrath!! I’m coming!!
thanks JFri I thought for sure I had a date for tonite with doc, now you show up! All the better, then doc won’t have to row and will have more time for me!! LOL
cleokaya: I’d love to come! I just read all the posts, and it sounds like a great time. I’ll bring some fresh corn from the green house, tomatoes and some steaks. Got a grill there? do you have any breakfast yet cleo? I’m starving. wish I could get some of the ham and bacon here!
DoctorToon: I’ll send you some of our weather until we get to the island. It’s sunny, and 14oC- that’s uh, well a little less than 75oF I think! I’m going for a walk today, to see the blossoms on the trees. our leaves are just starting here.
carmy, hope you’re coming too! The salt air and sunshine will do you good. Me too.
drystyha: Looks like all your secrets are out. Darn. I thought they were MY secrets! LOL
Joy: use coconut milk. that should reduce the itching! (Not that I speak from experience here ;)
JFri: Don’t row too fast, you’ll tire yourself out1 We may need you and Doc for heaving lifting! I hear that commicaddict has a heavy trunk he needs help with!
Radical: I haven’t seen Star Trek II, movies aren’t in my budget at the moment. Dr. Spock was my favorite in the original. I’d like to see what he’s like now.
Where’s tabbylynn? I saw something about a graduation. Hers, or someone elses? I don’t always get all the posts. I have that duck story for her, but I’m still waiting (ahem) for someone to checkout my post from a couple of days ago to see what’s up with my cut and paste.
Morning tribe!
Beautiful weather here in KS today. Blue skies, enough breeze to keep the skeeters away, and everything greening up nicely due to all the rain we had recently. Of course, being spring, we’re supposed to get t-storms over the weekend.
Blessings to all!
sugar: You had a dr’s appointment yesterday. Everything okay?
johnnydoc: Don’t worry about being too young to be a fan. Wish I could say the same. No I don’t I’m too young at heart to care. But we have some Trekkies at college. I never know what they’re talking about.
akenta: I see you and I liked Bonanza. I think I saw some of the other shows, but we watch Bonanza at our house growing up.
cleo: Thanks. What’s I blintz? I’d love to try it, but don’t want to comment on something I know nothing about. I’ll savour the bacon ham and fruit while I wait.
dry: Southern Ontario. I think you said where you re. Canada as well? Or is that kitty? She from Alta I believe- NW Alta (That’s Alberta)
dry: s’mores sound great! I’ll bring extra marshmallows so the kiddies (that would be me) can also toast marshmallows.
Guess I’ll get going. I’ll try to pop in later. I’m going out to enjoy the sunshine, and tonight I’m going to a dinner party. save a spot on the sand for me!
Shika a blintz is a thin egg crepe that you use to wrap up a cheese filling, using a cheese such as ricotta or farmer’s cheese, etc. You can also make potato blitzes. There are a whole variety of ways to make and serve them. They are also good covered in fruit.
Doc you can have the snow. Like Shika the trees were just starting to leaf out, started planting the garden and then snow :(
.
Shika - I’m also a Canuck, living in the Calgary area right now.
Shika - You mentioned “Kiswahili” yesterday. Since I don’t know much about Canadians, is that an Eskimo (or whatever is the proper term these days) language?
Well, this is your late evening, its my lunchtime, if I start drinking now, I’d probably get my a^^ canned! My boss is great, but I don’t think he wants a drunk during work hours!!
Hello everybody. I had intended to check in earlier but real life sometimes gets in the way of the best laid plans. Doctortoon, I’m still waiting for the warm weather. Today is chilly, cloudy, and windy but not enough rain to dampen the sloughs. I’ve got it all packed and ready to ship somewhere. Anywhere. I doubt anyone here would miss it. BTW am I too late to catch the boat to the island? I could use some sunshine. I will bring along a homemade wine that a friend gave us. It is made from chokecherry juice and is quite good.
Dry, Thanks, I went and read the article. They have been able to find out more and more information on autism. I hope they can find a cure real soon too.
I’m getting ready to go back to chemo, I have a half hour session and I get the pump off today. YEA!
I’ll see you all on the island!!
doc-T: Perhaps you could do the honours of posting the rules of ettiquite for the Tribe?
Welcome EMET!
RRAmom: “Kiswahilli” is the language of business in east Africa, like Kenya. I had a foster child there and learned the language, also Kimeru to write to him. he didn’t speak English. My current child does though.
“Eskimo” is called “Innuit”, which means “people of the snow.” That is their own name, although of course, they have many tribes.
DigitalFrog: Nice city, Calgary. Do you know anyone by the name of Dempsy there? Will and Denise?
My cousin lives in Brooks, Alta. Sorry about the snow.
Serena (hope that abbreviation works OK for you), I’ll be by with the boat ASAP!!!! OY!! My back!! docT, your alright…I don’t CARE what everyone else says about you! 0:-D
AAAARRRRR, Joy, me darlin’, ye be doin’ a fine job arrangin’ th’ party, fer sure! Keep shakin’ them thar coconut shells! And docT what was that crack about me & JFri, ye scurvy dog!
“And those little soaps, ‘n those tiny bottles of shampoo - AND conditioner, or the remote control to the TV set, or those goofy hangers with knobs at the top, or the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign, or the silverware from the “free” Continental Breakfasts, or the lampshade from the reading light, or the top sheet from the bed, or the stationery & pen from inside the desk, or the Phone Book in the desk, or the dang PHONE!!!”
It’s amazing how many Canadians or former Canadians we have in the tribe. And a warm tropical island always looks good to us northerners at this time of year.
The story I heard was that the Beach Boys were just jamming when Dean Torrance of Jan & Dean dropped in and *he* did the high lead. Listen to it and then listen to a Jan & Dean song and you will hear it!
Shikamoo Thanks for the info. I’ve heard of Swahili, but not Kiswahili, and didn’t make the connection. When I went to Swaziland in Africa, the Swazis spoke English with us. They were educated in English from 3rd grade, so even at the marketplace, we didn’t need interpreters. Didn’t get up to Kenya - only had 2 weeks.
I am surprised there are so many friends from Alberta here. I live in a small town two hours east of Calgary, but several years ago I lived in the city. Since then I have been all over Alberta and have lived in B.C, Sask., Manitoba and Ont, as well. JFri thanks for picking me up. I don’t mind the Serena at all. That really was the name of one of my greatly missed cats.
Shikamoo I was pretty sure “Eskimo” was no longer used, and now that I see “Innuit”, I do remember hearing it before and the translation. But when I don’t use/hear a new term repeatedly, it escapes me.
My hubby’s company’s HQ is in Mississauga, and I’m hoping to tag along with him when he has to go up there again. Guess I’ll need to update my passport though, I let it expire.
Just dropping in to see what’s happening. Sounds like the party is already on the way to the island. Enjoy! Welcome EMET. New faces/voices seem to always be welcome. Did someone mention homemade wine from chokecherries? Sounds nice.
Well, bye for now. Pleasant dreams, those who sleep. And to all peace & strength!
JFri: That was my second post, but the site shut down for system repairs. Honest1 I’m glad to know the answer. The site I googled just said that Dean wasn’t on the cover, but that Brain says “thanks Dean” on the recording at the end. And now, I’m REALLY going out, and likely won’t see you guys until tomorrow. Behave yourselves at the party (yeah, right!), in case I drop in again. Leave some fun for me!
RRAmom: Okay- I didn’t tear myself away. If you ever do come up here, let me know and I can give you a phone # if you want. Just to call and say you know someone up here. bye again. I’ll try to catch up later.
shikamoo I’ll keep that offer in mind. I still have one more year to homeschool. (My youngest will be a senior - hurrah!) At least I can get away for few days at a time now, but when he goes to Canada, it’s usually for a whole week. So, I probably won’t end up going there until after our youngest graduates. I presume you are fairly close to Mississauga?
My first complaint is that my comment doesn’t stand out from anybody elses, so it’s tougher to find when I last posted so I can catch up on new comments.
This is weird! I might get used to it, but I really miss the feature on the old format that made it easier to identify my own posts. Please webmaster, do something to help our own posts stand out from others.
I guess I’m not the only one. I have trouble finding my own post. I guess my eyes aren’t as good as they could be anymore, but I find it’s not as easy to keep track of anyone elses comments as well.
Since we are all heading to a desert Island, is anybody interested in listing their desert island disks? I’ll list five that aren’t necessarily my all time faves, but disks I like to listen to a lot. “Haunted Heart” by Charlie Haden, “To Stuffed To Jump” by The Amazing Rhythm Aces, “Red Dirt Girl” by Emmylou Harris, “Live At Leeds” by The Who, and “Essence” by Lucinda Williams. Oh heck and one more, while I have it in my head “Unplugged in New York” by Nirvana. Gosh, and I haven’t listed any blues yet. Yikes!
Dry, you are right, you don’t seem to be able to highlight. I haven’t tried to edit or delete, but below my last comment. They do have edit comment and delete comment tabs.
TRIBE TOON DAILY POST Special Report: An earthquake registering 7.9 on the Richer Scale was reported in the Caribbean this afternoon. The epicenter appears to be a desert island where a party is going on hosted by a PIRATE and his lady. The source of the quake has been rumored to have been created by extreme grass & coconut shaking. A toon tsunami has hit gocomics and left in it’s path an unusual format which may or may not be permanent. Citizens of gocomics are advised to remain calm but to move away from any vats of ink. Officiials are turning to BMONK & DOCTORTOON for spiritual advice. We will have updates as they become available.
JFRI…I clicked on your avatar and it shows OR for your profile. Did you have more on your bio? My bio is unchanged, but it lists no followers. I love “Margaritaville” and Jimmy Buffet. Were you around when I told my story of when i first saw him play?
CLEO, no I missed that story. And that was all I had in my profile, which hasn’t been right since we were all listed as Pros. But yeah, now our followers being gone S U C K S (to quote DRY)!
JOY, I think the reason they did this update was because they can have more of their features put out there. Like all the stuff that is on the bottom of this page.
CLEO, The Pina Colada Song, for get who does it, “Dancin’ in the Moonlight” by King Harvest, “Ventura Highway” by America, “Cool Summer” by Banana Rama,”Stand By Me” by Ben E. King. I’ll thinmk of some more!
As a payback, I THINK to DRY, Don’t Worry, Be Happy! Or Kokomo, California Girls, Surfer Girl & Surfi’ Safari by the Beach Boys??? OK, ANYTHING by the Beach Boys!
Ooooooooooooooo, CARMY, GOOD ONE!!! Popular version by the Safari’s but originally done by the Chantay’s, I believe. You would LOVE my 7 CD collection of songs I selected to record! OK, how about Pipeline by the Ventures!!
Hi, everyone. Boy, I just take one little excursion to nearby Fayetteville, and now when I come back to see all of you again at gocomics.com, I discovered a new look! And guess what, tribal members? I LIKE IT!!!
I like most of your song suggestions. Okay JFRI…here is my Jimmy Buffet story (sorry to repeat for those who have heard it). I used to spend my winters camping out at the foot of the 7 mile bridge in Marathon, FL. Key West was about 45 miles further down the keys. One day I was walking down Duvall Street and I came to one of my favorite open air bars (when I was going down there it had two different names over the years I camped, “The Bull” and “Lou’s” and I don’t know which it was at the time). Anyways, I went in for a cocktail and a guy was playing an open mike, this was in the early afternoon. He sang really catchy songs appropriate to the Key West surroundings. At most a year later he hit it big, with the songs he was singing that day. And of course it was Jimmy Buffet.
Wow, that is COOL, CLEO! I love Key West. Go every chance I get. When you first mentioned the open air bar I thought you were going to say Heminway’s! Ever go to Mel Fisher’s museum? I spent a week SCUBA diving from Isla Mirada, which I believe is on Marathon Key.
JOY, I gave you a Say goodnight Gracie! And I was the one saying we lost our accolades…those are the highlights and italics. At least that’s what gocomics called them.
Okey, since this morphed from CDs to songs. “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” by George Thorogood, “Summertime Blues” by The Who and “Essence” by Lucinda Williams. These don’t have to be all related to island life. Just songs you’d want to have if you were stranded on the island.
Yeah “Sloop John B.” is a great song. I liked Blue Cheer’s version better too. They are one of the few bands that I bought their album for the song “Summertime Blues”l, but returned the album because I didn’t like anything else though. I thought the album cover was cool though, the black and white photo of them with their super long hair and lucking tough.
I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Paramount in Seattle and loved the concert and the venue. Jimi Hendrix was a big influence on him so he made a point of having Jimi’s dad in the audience and then bringing him up on stage. He died shortly thereafter. I loved Stevie’s guitar as I loved Jimi’s.
Carmy Misirlou by the Beach Boys was outstanding as was their version of Let’s Go Trippin’. I liked Pipeline by the Ventures better, but that’s me. CLEO, I know what you mean about buying the album with only one good song.
My last comment didn’t get posted. Has anyone else had that happen? Okay, to repeat my comment. Has anyone yet mentioned “Wipe Out” by the Ventures or the Safaris?
@JFri - not comicgod. Think of me more like Jacob, from LOST.
@Drystyha - What do you mean the white background hurts your eyes? The last background was white, as well. (I’m actually not the designer, I’m one of the guys you might gripe at if there’s something technically broken).
Liked your link JFri…The first concert I ever went to was in Minot, North Dakota. The lineup was first off a band called The Outsiders who had one big hit, they were followed by Them with Van Morrison. The Final group was the Beach Boys. It was such an unusual match up. And JFRI…I actiually like Patti Smith’s version of Gloria better. Call me a heretic, because I like Van Morrison, but she puts real edge to the song.
JFRi, Them was the band that Van Morrison was in at the time he recorded Gloria. He quit shortly thereafter. Your concert with The Beach Boys and Jan And Dean was a better plan then the match up with mine. I enjoyed it though because all 3 bands were big at that time.
Agree w/RRAMOM, Eric - previous background was a light/pale green. Also wondering about following folks and the formatting or accolades. Thanks for listening.
Have a great evening, TRIBE. It looks like some combination of Trivia & Name That Tune is in progress. Probably check back later to see if you’d doubled the count of comments again.
How about “Black Is Black” by Los Bravos. Actually the background was white with kind of a green design mixed with it. If I remember right (God it was just hours ago) the design was like the little cloudlike balloons that dialogue is written in at a strip.
RRAmom, yes it was light green! I see you spent about as much time outside as I did! We are ADDDICTS!!!
Oh I see my Genuis status is back! and JFri didn’t make any comments!! (wait for it,… wait for it … )
Yeah, DRY, I talked myself out of going outside. The project I had in mind just sounded more frustrating than I felt like dealing with. Let’s say it together: ‘I can quit anytime I want to” - I just don’t WANT to quit now.
Actually, I have been working outside. I make a comment, go out and do some work, come in and make a comment or two, go back outside and do some yard work, then repeat the trip back here. I guess they should start a group called GA, for comics anonymous.
JDOC, glad you liked it! There was some truly GREAT music in the 60’s! I have made up a collection on 6 or 7 CD’s (I think I said 7 earlier but I think it’s really 6). Wish I could copy them & distribute them to any TRIBE members who wanted a copy!
JFri, No I haven’t left, I’m doing but cleo has been doing, in and out! HEY CLEO, WE ARE GETTING SOME EXERCISE! I HAVE TO CLIMB 7 STEPS EVRTYTIME I come back in to post.
RRAMOM,I haven’t done near what I wanted to tonite, I always buy too many flowers and plants! Now instead of spendingall evening outside I spend half of it on here, and no one is home but me, so I have more time to be here!
Yes Eric you are welcome to join us, but for the most part we’re a bunch of middle aged old farts! We have a couple of youngsters here, though! LOL And I’ll bet you’re probably around my oldest son’s age, 23.
Oh forgot about Tabbylynn! Won’t she be surprised!
Guys apparently if you aren’t a GENUIS (JFri :-P) Kenny I really need that BOLD back, you can only read arcieved comics for the past week, just so you know.
KENNY - thanks. Main thing I’m having trouble with right now is all the white on the screen. It is like staring into oncoming headlights, trying to read the bug splatters. Could you do something to tone it down a little? I know I could probably dim my monitor, but then it will be harder for me to read other websites.
Oh HOORAY! I got to see docs reaction! These guys are keeping us informed. they are ar Pibgorn too. Our two groups must keep this place stompin’, that they would take the time to explain things to us!
JFri: I love the 60’s and 70’s music, unfortunately, most people my age do not. :(
Dry: I wish I was getting exercise for this, but my computer just sits on the table, no stairs, not even a very long walk.
DRY - I don’t have a green thumb, even though my folks made me do a lot of gardening when I was a kid. I planted lilacs & irises, and some trees several years ago, but I stay away from anything that has to be weeded, pruned, fertilized, transplanted, or harvested. With our hot summers & cold winters here, it is hard to grow some plants without a lot of work. We get over 100F in the summer, and not unheard of to get below zero in the winter, although I think we only got as low as the single digits this year. We happen to have 5 acres located on an old gravel pit. So to plant, we have to use a pickax, or a tractor implement. We’ve got some virgin soil here I think - I’m sure it was never tilled. We’re on the edge of the Flint Hills, and grazing cattle/horses is about all the agricultural use that can be done because of the stones.
JOHNNYD…I know many people in their 20s who are like you with the music of the 60s and 70s. I being older am also liking new music. I was really fond of grunge and still like bands like Pearl Jam, Everclear, REM, Nine Inch Nails and the Presidents Of The United States. Now, I like White Stripes, Coldplay, Franz Ferdinand, etc.
Yes doc, I noticed that also, at the moment it seems more cumbersome. Lets hope they fix that. Another thing I would like is when you refresh, you go back to the page you were on instead of back to page1.
@doctortoon if you search for “big” it should list this feature in the sidebar, if you click on that it will take you the feature page where you can view the full page.
We’re working on some ways to subscribe to comment threads, and some more new features for your profile / homepage. But those wont happen for a little bit.
I also use search to navigate, its an extra click, but the search page is starting to have a lot more useful information on it.
RRAmom, I used to start my own tomato, hot & sweet pepper seedlings myself because I could experiment with new varieties. I haven’t done that the past two years becasue the cats I have now sit on the windowsills. INow I go to the greenhouse where you don’t get the varities I would buy if I were buying from a catalog like “Totally Tomatoes” or “Burpee”. I also used to can a lot of stuff becasue my mom did and I learned from her. Even used to make my own sauerkraut.
KENNY…I really like the comic strip avatars at the top of the page. It makes it really easy to jump to different comics in my collection without having to either google the strip or advance through each one.
DOCTORTOON…I think once you give it a chance it will grow on you. I felt the same way at first and granted, there are still some annoying aspects, but things have already improved in the few hours since I first noticed the changes.
DOC, I agree with CLEO. We’ve noticed several improvements in the first few hours, so hopefully, they’ll get all the areas addressed that we want changed, eventually. At least Eric & Kenny are listening to us, which is a plus.
DRY - My hubby’s tried to grow tomatoes several years in a row, but just doesn’t do well with them. I don’t think his folks ever had a garden, and he won’t listen to my tips until it is too late. (Like not watering in the heat of the day!) My mom canned a lot too, but most of it after I left home and she had more time (she retired when I was in high school). My parents always had a big garden, what they grew varied, but tomatoes were always planted. My sister likes to garden, but I’d rather do inside stuff like crafts & reading.
So Eric and Kenny are the site administrators, sort of?
That is cool that they joined are party.
CLEO: I like some of those bands too, but nothing beats the older stuff.
RRAmom, There is nothing like an off the vine tomato from your own garden in the summer, if you like tomatoes. It’s still not to late to buy a couple of plants. you can put them in pots on your porch or somewhere like that! Cukes and peppers too.
In my neck of the woods we have just now started putting in tomatoes. We have a problem with blossom end rot. I agree that their is nothing like a tomato off the vine. Store bought tomatoes are so far from tasty that they verge on no taste at all. We have a wonderful farmer’s market and also an intown farm that sells produce, both are excellent for all produce, but their tomatoes shine and sometimes taste like candy. I also like the trend towards heirloom tomatoes that just a few years ago were next to impossible to find.
DOCTORTOON…They say that they are working on the follow/follower issues. I too hope that they don’t do away with them. My skeptical self wonders if they are worried about the idea of following someone.
I don’t have a problem with the refresh. I hit F5 and it works like it always has - I just see the current screen where I left off with lots of comments underneath :-)
Time for me to say good night :-( Can’t wait to see what the site looks like the morning. I have a feeling I’ll need to get up early to catch up with the overnight comments.
My husband does enjoy vine-ripened tomatoes. I’ve never cared for straight tomato flavor - I only like it adulterated. Like tomato soup, catsup, salsa, spaghetti/pizza sauce… I’ve diverticulitis 3 times, so I have to avoid anything with small seeds now, which means I couldn’t eat them now if I wanted to. I find the easiest way to get fresh tomatoes is to be around friends/neighbors/family when their plants start producing. They usually are quite willing to share.
Life with teenagers is never boring! I just had to bandage my 16 year old’s face (right between the eyebrows) because he hit something when his brother shot him in the back of the neck with a rubberband. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to take him to get stitches, but decided if he wouldn’t keep making faces this evening, it will be okay with just a band-aid and neosporin. This kid had 3 different injuries when he was around 1 year old that each required stitches, so at least I’ve had some experience evaluating wounds for that reason.
DRY, I’m still here. Just had to take care of some stuff in RL.
DOC, Eric or Kenny said that they have the follower info saved, they are just perfecting it. They will add your original followers/following just as you had them.
Kenny, I do a lot from my Blackberry. Some of this is making it easier but when I post I get an error message. I hit ok & refresh and the comment shows up.
DRY, It’s South Padre Island, Texas. On one side of the island is the Laguna Madre (mother lagoon) and the other side is the Gulf Of Mexico.
We are less than 5 minutes from the beaches. We will be boogie boarding soon.
JFri What is a keg OG rum? Did you mean keg OF rum? Calm down man! The changres shouldn’t be enough to send you Overboard! LOL Oh and :-P BACK AT YA BUD!
check your e
Hey Tribe! WTHH? I leave you guys for a few hours and the party gets us busted! I thought that I had entered the Twilight Zone. took me a while to find you again, becuase I didn’t know I had to click on hte little Big Top Avatar (pant, pant) and… I have three pages lef to read!!!
Wheres my spot in the sand. Any beer left? I’ll have to catch up.
Carmy - This will be fixed soon. Convince Doctoon that this IS better and the COMMANDOS are making everything better by monitoring our chatter and “concerns”. We should have out “following” and “Followers” back as well.
I myself am still struggling as I did when they changed the whole format the last time.
Hey Guys, was gone for a while and come back to 7 pages?! Sorry if I got us on the watch list for peeking at the source code…
.
Eric and Kenny, welcome and thanks for your efforts in improving the site, I look forward to the finished product. I love the posting in place without reloading the screen. Just to add my 2 cents worth to the suggestions already made, I agree the background needs to be dimmed a little and the text darkened, it is a bit harsh to read. It would be nice to have some basic formating, and I would love the idea of a longer list of recent comments, same as Doctoon, I used them to kepp track of different threads on different toons.
Well I ain’t goin anywhere, cuz I love these strips, and I love our tribe members so I hope everybody sticks around!
BUT I HATE THE WHITE BACKGROUND!!!
ERIC & KENNY
I just ran into a bug, when I tried to edit the longer comment about 6 entries above just now, it just disappears from the page. It was working previously, and the comment reappears if I refresh the page, and I was able to edit this comment, but not the one mentioned above…
Thanks, Rad, although it is a pain to have to post and then edit to make things bold. I hope Kenny & Eric can make it easier, because until then I may just have to stick with CAPS, since I don’t have to post and edit to get that to happen.
drystyha: Speak for yourself! middle aged isn’t old! lol
JFri I liked the Beach Boy’s link too. It brings back memeories, although, ahem, of course, I don’t know any of these songs from my youth, hee-hee.
cleo. you are right. the background was light green with shaded comic stri ballons all over. I liked that colour ERIC. It was soothing to the eyes.
How come I’m no longer a pro, and some of you are geniuses? I mean, I’m sure you are smart, but what am I, chopped liver? Just kidding. I just hope I can keep up with you guys.
I am back after dinner and am about to watch “Vicky Christina Barcelona.” Glad things are smoothing out. I’m not sure what you meant RAD about hitting format after edit.
Hmmmm, Type your comment WITH formatting as you did before but before you post your comment, Copy it so you can use it later.
Post your comment, the formatting will not be there.
Edit Comment, At this point you will highlight your comment and “Control+V” (PASTE) your copied comment in place of the original (with formatting in place) and click to SAVE CHANGES.
I hope I get used to this. when was the last time is was changed? Being new here, this is the first time I’ve seen it change.
What happened to the party on the island. Before I went out for the night, that’s when I said “keep a spot on the sand” Johnnydoc.
I saw doc toon but was still catching up on my reading and missed saying good night to him, and JFri.
Thanks dry. I wonder how I became a pro so fast. does it cost money to become a genius? Cause I’m broke, so I’ll have to keep my current lowly status if that is the case :(
Oh Shikamoo It cost me $11. dollars and some change for a year. VERY WELL WORTH IT! That was for 1 year. I expect the price will go up this year, but my local newspaper is $150. a year and it’s just a local small paper, so do the math with where you are and decide for yourself. I’d cancel my local paper but there are some things I like to keep up on so I keep it, but not for the comics. I can get them here and they only carry 20 strips, most of which I don’t read anyway! The party was cancelled when this site threw us all for a loop! Panic time set in! LOL!!
Hey all, if you are having any problems editing / posting comments. Can you use our contact form http://gocomics.com/contact and send an email ATTN: Kenny.
Be sure to include what web browser / version you were using.
so i dont have time to read eight pages tonigt. i need to go to bed. i have to work tomorrow. and i dont know what is with this. so i will be going be back later well tomorrow sometime. :( work sucks.
peace and love all.
P.S. so there are no longer pros but genius now? okay.
okay i am still reading bc i am addicted. i dont like this it hurts my head and eyes. are they trying to get us off of here or something?? me no likey.
Anybody still around? I am taking a break from Vicky Christina Barcelona, while my wife gets ready for bed, so am around for a few minutes. Good movie. A man seduces two women by being honest. When I met my wife I decided that I was never going to lie to her and haven’t. It isn’t always the best tactic, but in the end I think that it is the right one and you never have to worry because you have never said anything that you will confuse with another story, because it is the only story.
I’ve sent *my* comments to Kenny via the contact us page & encourage everyone to do likewise. Our comments may be lost among 350+ posts (a new record, BTW)!
Hey johnnyd & JFri. A wild day from an island cruise to a merry go round of comic mayhem. By the way “Lola” by the Kinks and “Take A Walk On The Wild Side” by Lou Reed.
I want to see us post these kind of numbers when we don’t have a major shift like happened with gocomics. If we could have hit these numbers talking about island songs or what we were going to do on the island that would have been more of an achievement. in my mind. This afternoon was chaos creating posts of what does and doesn’t work.
Well I am sorry my friends but my wife has returned. I doubt that I will be back before this day’s strip ends. Carry on and I would like to continue song discussion at whenever time works for everyone. It reminds me of songs that I have temporarily forgotten. Thanks both of you. Maybe I will see one or both of you on the early shift at Big Top.
JFri, LOL, that’s a shame.
The only run in with the law that I had was because my friend is an idiot. Naturally I didn’t get in trouble, because I didn’t do anything, but I almost did.

Alright gang, my sonic coffee is on. Today it is blintz day. I also have fruit (my new morning ritual). I have more Hempler’s bacon and ham. I have got to tell you people that don’t live in my proximity, you are missing out on some great pork products when you don’t have Hempler’s. The bacon doesn’t even create grease in a pan. I have also made homemade light wheat bread and once again I have my standby, extra bitter orange marmalade.
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
Thought everyone left. Forgot to move to the new day. Rad, is that the new movie you are talking about?
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Rad is talking about the new movie. Everything I have heard about it is very good. Are you a Star Trek fan?
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
Ummm, not really, I guess, I was too young. I mean I like it ok. But I haven’t seen all of the old episodes. I will go see the movie, and I have heard good things about it too, for the most part.
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
And on that happy note, I am off to bed. Good night all!
cleokaya over 15 years ago
I am old enough to be a fan. It is not like I am anywhere near being a trekie, but I will watch the new movie because it seems to expand the series concept. I ten to like more independent films or foreign movies. I like movies that don’t seem to be trying, but rather capturing a moment in a day or in time.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Well, as an old fart, I must look at the clock and realize that I am ready for bed, but I don’t sleep in. I will be back buy 6 Am.

I’m not in bed yet. I just realized i have a bunch of comics yet to view before bedtime.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday!!
I’ve never gotten into Star Trek, though I did watch Enterprise for a few seasons since it had Scott Bakula. But then it got too unbelievable even for me. I was slightly interested in the movie when I heard the guy from Heroes was playing Spock, but then I saw a commercial and went back to not caring :-)
I wonder if Paris gets a lot of confessions like that?

TAKE COVER!
Morning. Someone {Shika?} asked about my reference to IE6 yesterday. It’s just an older version of Internet Explorer I have to use at the office to use the tools I have for my job.
And thanks for the trip through TV’s memory lane yesterday. Sorry I missed the trivia. I doubt if I would have placed, let alone won but it looks like y’all had fun.
dianalyn over 15 years ago
Hello everyone! I have not seen the Star Trek movie, but my daughter suprisingly said it is really good.

Akenta geez, is it wednesday already?
carmy over 15 years ago
Good Mourning! not a typo, I’m in mourning for the Sun. Apparently we may not see it until June. We lost our electricity last night as I was getting ready for bed. It came back on in about 1 1/2 hours. Someone needs to tell Dusty that Grandpa Hilton left all his $$ to charities. Good for him!
Lyons Group, Inc. over 15 years ago
Yes, it’s Wednesday. Good morning everyone.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Good morning all. I am depressed by another gray morning. Yesterday started out this way, but was beautiful in the afternoon. I want to wake up to sunshine. It really starts my day up better than the funk I’m in at the moment.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Well Joy if you don’t come to us, we will have to come to you. We’ll corral *JFri (who snuck up on me this morning in a boo-rish attempt to scare me) and have him cart us all down there in his boat.
carmy over 15 years ago
Cleo, ready when you are!
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Great, I’ll pack some provisions. Do you think we need bring anything but alcohol?
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Oh yeah, a seemingly foreign concept to me, suntan lotion.
carmy over 15 years ago
Cleo, I’ll bring some sweet tea and some snacks. Don’t miss the boat Doc!
cleokaya over 15 years ago
doctortoon, I hear the temp on the island is 75 degrees. Ditch the frozen foods for a few days. Better yet bring some along.

doc you gotta skip work today and take over the rowing, for the tribe you know!! Can’t depend on that Jfri!
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
I’m up! What did I miss?? OMG!! WHAT?? ROW?? ME?? I’ll do it but only because Joy can get that pirate to do anything she wants & I don’t want to be the object of his wrath!! I’m coming!!
carmy over 15 years ago
Well hurry it up, I’m about ready to drown here!
cleokaya over 15 years ago
I’m glad nobody suggested that I row. I’ll handle the bartending. Ribs it is Joy. The beer is already packed.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
doctortoon we could make a good pair with the ladies. You handle the heavy lifting and stuff like that. I’ll handle the rest. LOL

cleokaya: I’d love to come! I just read all the posts, and it sounds like a great time. I’ll bring some fresh corn from the green house, tomatoes and some steaks. Got a grill there? do you have any breakfast yet cleo? I’m starving. wish I could get some of the ham and bacon here!
DoctorToon: I’ll send you some of our weather until we get to the island. It’s sunny, and 14oC- that’s uh, well a little less than 75oF I think! I’m going for a walk today, to see the blossoms on the trees. our leaves are just starting here.
carmy, hope you’re coming too! The salt air and sunshine will do you good. Me too.
drystyha: Looks like all your secrets are out. Darn. I thought they were MY secrets! LOL
Joy: use coconut milk. that should reduce the itching! (Not that I speak from experience here ;)
JFri: Don’t row too fast, you’ll tire yourself out1 We may need you and Doc for heaving lifting! I hear that commicaddict has a heavy trunk he needs help with!
Radical: I haven’t seen Star Trek II, movies aren’t in my budget at the moment. Dr. Spock was my favorite in the original. I’d like to see what he’s like now.
Where’s tabbylynn? I saw something about a graduation. Hers, or someone elses? I don’t always get all the posts. I have that duck story for her, but I’m still waiting (ahem) for someone to checkout my post from a couple of days ago to see what’s up with my cut and paste.
Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
Morning tribe! Beautiful weather here in KS today. Blue skies, enough breeze to keep the skeeters away, and everything greening up nicely due to all the rain we had recently. Of course, being spring, we’re supposed to get t-storms over the weekend. Blessings to all!

sugar: You had a dr’s appointment yesterday. Everything okay?

cleokaya over 15 years ago
Yes Shika there are blintzes, bacon ham and fruit.

OOPS, just read my post: Make that HEAVY lifting, not HEAVING lifting. LOL
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Joy How about some ‘smores for later in the evening over the fire? I will bring that if everyone is in agreement. And they pair well with rum!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
JFri I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. :-(
Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
cleo: Thanks. What’s I blintz? I’d love to try it, but don’t want to comment on something I know nothing about. I’ll savour the bacon ham and fruit while I wait.
dry: Southern Ontario. I think you said where you re. Canada as well? Or is that kitty? She from Alta I believe- NW Alta (That’s Alberta)
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Dry anything pairs well with rum.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
dry: s’mores sound great! I’ll bring extra marshmallows so the kiddies (that would be me) can also toast marshmallows.
Guess I’ll get going. I’ll try to pop in later. I’m going out to enjoy the sunshine, and tonight I’m going to a dinner party. save a spot on the sand for me!
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Shika a blintz is a thin egg crepe that you use to wrap up a cheese filling, using a cheese such as ricotta or farmer’s cheese, etc. You can also make potato blitzes. There are a whole variety of ways to make and serve them. They are also good covered in fruit.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
carmy i posted this about 30 mins. ago, then discovered it was on the other days Big Top! (JFri no comments!!!)
anyway, theres some news articles on Yahoo News about autism you might be initerested in.
Digital Frog over 15 years ago
Doc you can have the snow. Like Shika the trees were just starting to leaf out, started planting the garden and then snow :( . Shika - I’m also a Canuck, living in the Calgary area right now.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
doc I’m crushed that you would think such a thing! :-( Now I know how JFri feels!
Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
Shika - You mentioned “Kiswahili” yesterday. Since I don’t know much about Canadians, is that an Eskimo (or whatever is the proper term these days) language?
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
hey doc :-P BACK AT YA! :-D
Well, this is your late evening, its my lunchtime, if I start drinking now, I’d probably get my a^^ canned! My boss is great, but I don’t think he wants a drunk during work hours!!
serenasakitty over 15 years ago
Hello everybody. I had intended to check in earlier but real life sometimes gets in the way of the best laid plans. Doctortoon, I’m still waiting for the warm weather. Today is chilly, cloudy, and windy but not enough rain to dampen the sloughs. I’ve got it all packed and ready to ship somewhere. Anywhere. I doubt anyone here would miss it. BTW am I too late to catch the boat to the island? I could use some sunshine. I will bring along a homemade wine that a friend gave us. It is made from chokecherry juice and is quite good.
carmy over 15 years ago
Dry, Thanks, I went and read the article. They have been able to find out more and more information on autism. I hope they can find a cure real soon too. I’m getting ready to go back to chemo, I have a half hour session and I get the pump off today. YEA! I’ll see you all on the island!!
Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
doc-T: Perhaps you could do the honours of posting the rules of ettiquite for the Tribe?
Welcome EMET!
RRAmom: “Kiswahilli” is the language of business in east Africa, like Kenya. I had a foster child there and learned the language, also Kimeru to write to him. he didn’t speak English. My current child does though.
“Eskimo” is called “Innuit”, which means “people of the snow.” That is their own name, although of course, they have many tribes.
DigitalFrog: Nice city, Calgary. Do you know anyone by the name of Dempsy there? Will and Denise?
My cousin lives in Brooks, Alta. Sorry about the snow.

It’s amazing how many Canadians or former Canadians we have in the tribe. And a warm tropical island always looks good to us northerners at this time of year.

Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
Brian Wilson sang the high part.
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
The story I heard was that the Beach Boys were just jamming when Dean Torrance of Jan & Dean dropped in and *he* did the high lead. Listen to it and then listen to a Jan & Dean song and you will hear it!
Digital Frog over 15 years ago
Doc - neither do I, the phrase just struck me funny this morning.
Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
Shikamoo Thanks for the info. I’ve heard of Swahili, but not Kiswahili, and didn’t make the connection. When I went to Swaziland in Africa, the Swazis spoke English with us. They were educated in English from 3rd grade, so even at the marketplace, we didn’t need interpreters. Didn’t get up to Kenya - only had 2 weeks.
serenasakitty over 15 years ago
I am surprised there are so many friends from Alberta here. I live in a small town two hours east of Calgary, but several years ago I lived in the city. Since then I have been all over Alberta and have lived in B.C, Sask., Manitoba and Ont, as well. JFri thanks for picking me up. I don’t mind the Serena at all. That really was the name of one of my greatly missed cats.
Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
Shikamoo I was pretty sure “Eskimo” was no longer used, and now that I see “Innuit”, I do remember hearing it before and the translation. But when I don’t use/hear a new term repeatedly, it escapes me. My hubby’s company’s HQ is in Mississauga, and I’m hoping to tag along with him when he has to go up there again. Guess I’ll need to update my passport though, I let it expire.
dcguys over 15 years ago
Just dropping in to see what’s happening. Sounds like the party is already on the way to the island. Enjoy! Welcome EMET. New faces/voices seem to always be welcome. Did someone mention homemade wine from chokecherries? Sounds nice.
Well, bye for now. Pleasant dreams, those who sleep. And to all peace & strength!
Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
JFri: That was my second post, but the site shut down for system repairs. Honest1 I’m glad to know the answer. The site I googled just said that Dean wasn’t on the cover, but that Brain says “thanks Dean” on the recording at the end. And now, I’m REALLY going out, and likely won’t see you guys until tomorrow. Behave yourselves at the party (yeah, right!), in case I drop in again. Leave some fun for me!
Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
RRAmom: Okay- I didn’t tear myself away. If you ever do come up here, let me know and I can give you a phone # if you want. Just to call and say you know someone up here. bye again. I’ll try to catch up later.

shikamoo I’ll keep that offer in mind. I still have one more year to homeschool. (My youngest will be a senior - hurrah!) At least I can get away for few days at a time now, but when he goes to Canada, it’s usually for a whole week. So, I probably won’t end up going there until after our youngest graduates. I presume you are fairly close to Mississauga?

Since we are all heading to a desert Island, is anybody interested in listing their desert island disks? I’ll list five that aren’t necessarily my all time faves, but disks I like to listen to a lot. “Haunted Heart” by Charlie Haden, “To Stuffed To Jump” by The Amazing Rhythm Aces, “Red Dirt Girl” by Emmylou Harris, “Live At Leeds” by The Who, and “Essence” by Lucinda Williams. Oh heck and one more, while I have it in my head “Unplugged in New York” by Nirvana. Gosh, and I haven’t listed any blues yet. Yikes!

JFri did you delete one of your 2 posts about your blackberry?

TRIBE TOON DAILY POST Special Report: An earthquake registering 7.9 on the Richer Scale was reported in the Caribbean this afternoon. The epicenter appears to be a desert island where a party is going on hosted by a PIRATE and his lady. The source of the quake has been rumored to have been created by extreme grass & coconut shaking. A toon tsunami has hit gocomics and left in it’s path an unusual format which may or may not be permanent. Citizens of gocomics are advised to remain calm but to move away from any vats of ink.

I like most of your song suggestions. Okay JFRI…here is my Jimmy Buffet story (sorry to repeat for those who have heard it). I used to spend my winters camping out at the foot of the 7 mile bridge in Marathon, FL. Key West was about 45 miles further down the keys. One day I was walking down Duvall Street and I came to one of my favorite open air bars (when I was going down there it had two different names over the years I camped, “The Bull” and “Lou’s” and I don’t know which it was at the time). Anyways, I went in for a cocktail and a guy was playing an open mike, this was in the early afternoon. He sang really catchy songs appropriate to the Key West surroundings. At most a year later he hit it big, with the songs he was singing that day. And of course it was Jimmy Buffet.

Okey, since this morphed from CDs to songs. “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” by George Thorogood, “Summertime Blues” by The Who and “Essence” by Lucinda Williams. These don’t have to be all related to island life. Just songs you’d want to have if you were stranded on the island.

cleokaya over 15 years ago
Yeah “Sloop John B.” is a great song. I liked Blue Cheer’s version better too. They are one of the few bands that I bought their album for the song “Summertime Blues”l, but returned the album because I didn’t like anything else though. I thought the album cover was cool though, the black and white photo of them with their super long hair and lucking tough.

Stevie Ray Vaughn and Dick Dale - Pipeline
cleokaya over 15 years ago
I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Paramount in Seattle and loved the concert and the venue. Jimi Hendrix was a big influence on him so he made a point of having Jimi’s dad in the audience and then bringing him up on stage. He died shortly thereafter. I loved Stevie’s guitar as I loved Jimi’s.
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
Carmy Misirlou by the Beach Boys was outstanding as was their version of Let’s Go Trippin’. I liked Pipeline by the Ventures better, but that’s me. CLEO, I know what you mean about buying the album with only one good song.

@JFri - not comicgod. Think of me more like Jacob, from LOST.
@Drystyha - What do you mean the white background hurts your eyes? The last background was white, as well. (I’m actually not the designer, I’m one of the guys you might gripe at if there’s something technically broken).
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Liked your link JFri…The first concert I ever went to was in Minot, North Dakota. The lineup was first off a band called The Outsiders who had one big hit, they were followed by Them with Van Morrison. The Final group was the Beach Boys. It was such an unusual match up. And JFRI…I actiually like Patti Smith’s version of Gloria better. Call me a heretic, because I like Van Morrison, but she puts real edge to the song.

CLEO, how about Gloria by Them? My first concert was the Beach Boys with Jan & Dean as the “warm up”!
Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
ERIC - I think the background was a pale green, not white.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
JFRi, Them was the band that Van Morrison was in at the time he recorded Gloria. He quit shortly thereafter. Your concert with The Beach Boys and Jan And Dean was a better plan then the match up with mine. I enjoyed it though because all 3 bands were big at that time.
dcguys over 15 years ago
Agree w/RRAMOM, Eric - previous background was a light/pale green. Also wondering about following folks and the formatting or accolades. Thanks for listening.
Have a great evening, TRIBE. It looks like some combination of Trivia & Name That Tune is in progress. Probably check back later to see if you’d doubled the count of comments again.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
@ehurst, there was not this much white before, it’s too much white, way too much. It wan’t like that before.
I also liked your comment about “Lost” Funny!
cleokaya over 15 years ago
How about “Black Is Black” by Los Bravos. Actually the background was white with kind of a green design mixed with it. If I remember right (God it was just hours ago) the design was like the little cloudlike balloons that dialogue is written in at a strip.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
RRAmom, yes it was light green! I see you spent about as much time outside as I did! We are ADDDICTS!!! Oh I see my Genuis status is back! and JFri didn’t make any comments!! (wait for it,… wait for it … )

DOC, it takes some getting used to. They are still making adjustments.
Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
DRY - I don’t have a green thumb, even though my folks made me do a lot of gardening when I was a kid. I planted lilacs & irises, and some trees several years ago, but I stay away from anything that has to be weeded, pruned, fertilized, transplanted, or harvested. With our hot summers & cold winters here, it is hard to grow some plants without a lot of work. We get over 100F in the summer, and not unheard of to get below zero in the winter, although I think we only got as low as the single digits this year. We happen to have 5 acres located on an old gravel pit. So to plant, we have to use a pickax, or a tractor implement. We’ve got some virgin soil here I think - I’m sure it was never tilled. We’re on the edge of the Flint Hills, and grazing cattle/horses is about all the agricultural use that can be done because of the stones.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
JOHNNYD…I know many people in their 20s who are like you with the music of the 60s and 70s. I being older am also liking new music. I was really fond of grunge and still like bands like Pearl Jam, Everclear, REM, Nine Inch Nails and the Presidents Of The United States. Now, I like White Stripes, Coldplay, Franz Ferdinand, etc.

@doctortoon if you search for “big” it should list this feature in the sidebar, if you click on that it will take you the feature page where you can view the full page.

@Drystyha What page are you on when you are being kicked back to page1?
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
RRAmom, I used to start my own tomato, hot & sweet pepper seedlings myself because I could experiment with new varieties. I haven’t done that the past two years becasue the cats I have now sit on the windowsills. INow I go to the greenhouse where you don’t get the varities I would buy if I were buying from a catalog like “Totally Tomatoes” or “Burpee”. I also used to can a lot of stuff becasue my mom did and I learned from her. Even used to make my own sauerkraut.

Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
DRY - My hubby’s tried to grow tomatoes several years in a row, but just doesn’t do well with them. I don’t think his folks ever had a garden, and he won’t listen to my tips until it is too late. (Like not watering in the heat of the day!) My mom canned a lot too, but most of it after I left home and she had more time (she retired when I was in high school). My parents always had a big garden, what they grew varied, but tomatoes were always planted. My sister likes to garden, but I’d rather do inside stuff like crafts & reading.

RRAmom, There is nothing like an off the vine tomato from your own garden in the summer, if you like tomatoes. It’s still not to late to buy a couple of plants. you can put them in pots on your porch or somewhere like that! Cukes and peppers too.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
In my neck of the woods we have just now started putting in tomatoes. We have a problem with blossom end rot. I agree that their is nothing like a tomato off the vine. Store bought tomatoes are so far from tasty that they verge on no taste at all. We have a wonderful farmer’s market and also an intown farm that sells produce, both are excellent for all produce, but their tomatoes shine and sometimes taste like candy. I also like the trend towards heirloom tomatoes that just a few years ago were next to impossible to find.

Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
My husband does enjoy vine-ripened tomatoes. I’ve never cared for straight tomato flavor - I only like it adulterated. Like tomato soup, catsup, salsa, spaghetti/pizza sauce… I’ve diverticulitis 3 times, so I have to avoid anything with small seeds now, which means I couldn’t eat them now if I wanted to. I find the easiest way to get fresh tomatoes is to be around friends/neighbors/family when their plants start producing. They usually are quite willing to share.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
RRAmom, I can’t get my kids to eat fresh tomatoes either, but anything made FROM tomatoes they will eat!

Life with teenagers is never boring! I just had to bandage my 16 year old’s face (right between the eyebrows) because he hit something when his brother shot him in the back of the neck with a rubberband. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to take him to get stitches, but decided if he wouldn’t keep making faces this evening, it will be okay with just a band-aid and neosporin. This kid had 3 different injuries when he was around 1 year old that each required stitches, so at least I’ve had some experience evaluating wounds for that reason.

ERIC & KENNY I just ran into a bug, when I tried to edit the longer comment about 6 entries above just now, it just disappears from the page. It was working previously, and the comment reappears if I refresh the page, and I was able to edit this comment, but not the one mentioned above…
Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
Thanks, Rad, although it is a pain to have to post and then edit to make things bold. I hope Kenny & Eric can make it easier, because until then I may just have to stick with CAPS, since I don’t have to post and edit to get that to happen.

ERIC & KENNY Just tried editing a few other posts, on Speed Bump and W.T.Duck, had the same disappearing comment bug when I tried to edit them.

drystyha: Speak for yourself! middle aged isn’t old! lol
JFri I liked the Beach Boy’s link too. It brings back memeories, although, ahem, of course, I don’t know any of these songs from my youth, hee-hee.
cleo. you are right. the background was light green with shaded comic stri ballons all over. I liked that colour ERIC. It was soothing to the eyes.
How come I’m no longer a pro, and some of you are geniuses? I mean, I’m sure you are smart, but what am I, chopped liver? Just kidding. I just hope I can keep up with you guys.
Radical-Knight over 15 years ago

SHIKA, some of us were only pro on a trial basis. The real pros are now geniuses.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
HEY ALL
Okay I posted this and went to edit comment. nothing happened to make it bold
carmy over 15 years ago
Rad, no wonder you’re a genius!
cleokaya over 15 years ago
I am back after dinner and am about to watch “Vicky Christina Barcelona.” Glad things are smoothing out. I’m not sure what you meant RAD about hitting format after edit.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Oh, thank you Rad, I guess I figured it out.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Rad SHOWOFF :-) hOW ARE YOU GETTING THE BIG BOLD COOL!!!
Radical-Knight over 15 years ago
Hmmmm, Type your comment WITH formatting as you did before but before you post your comment, Copy it so you can use it later.
Post your comment, the formatting will not be there.
Edit Comment, At this point you will highlight your comment and “Control+V” (PASTE) your copied comment in place of the original (with formatting in place) and click to SAVE CHANGES.
The edit should have your Formatted text.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Rad never had to do what you are saying before. What you are saying takes longer than what I did before!
Digital Frog over 15 years ago
Anyone else having problems editing posts that are not near the bottom of the page?
Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
Hi Rad: Yeah, how did you get the big bold print?
I hope I get used to this. when was the last time is was changed? Being new here, this is the first time I’ve seen it change.
What happened to the party on the island. Before I went out for the night, that’s when I said “keep a spot on the sand” Johnnydoc.
I saw doc toon but was still catching up on my reading and missed saying good night to him, and JFri.
Thanks dry. I wonder how I became a pro so fast. does it cost money to become a genius? Cause I’m broke, so I’ll have to keep my current lowly status if that is the case :(
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
So Rad, like this?
Radical-Knight over 15 years ago
In a way, yeah… I make my post as I usually do, with formatting and “CONTROL+C”to copy it and post.
I then do as edit and “CONTROL+V” to paste my original post OVER my post and enter.
I just do it that way rather than adding all the little formatting symbols again.
This is just until they fix the formatting so we can do it once the first time.
carmy over 15 years ago
Goodnight All! I’ve got to get some rest so I can deal with hurricane-like weather we are having here in FL.
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
It worked!!! But RRAmom is right , that is a pain in the a$$.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 15 years ago
Hey- WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO? Was it something I said?
Well, ”sniff”: GOOD NIGHT GRACIE!! =D
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
Rad, sorry dude but too many moving parts!
Radical-Knight over 15 years ago
It’s just temporary, the COMMANDOS are working on it
[EDIT] - Looks good, Johnnyd.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Oh Shikamoo It cost me $11. dollars and some change for a year. VERY WELL WORTH IT! That was for 1 year. I expect the price will go up this year, but my local newspaper is $150. a year and it’s just a local small paper, so do the math with where you are and decide for yourself. I’d cancel my local paper but there are some things I like to keep up on so I keep it, but not for the comics. I can get them here and they only carry 20 strips, most of which I don’t read anyway! The party was cancelled when this site threw us all for a loop! Panic time set in! LOL!!
Radical-Knight over 15 years ago
I’m turning in, Dudes… I gotta stop staying up this late. NYTOL!!!
tabbylynn over 15 years ago

kenbacca over 15 years ago

johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago

tabbylynn over 15 years ago

johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
good night TABBY, DRY, and RAD!
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
Thanks KENNY! I am not having problems, but it is nice to know that you are there.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Anybody still around? I am taking a break from Vicky Christina Barcelona, while my wife gets ready for bed, so am around for a few minutes. Good movie. A man seduces two women by being honest. When I met my wife I decided that I was never going to lie to her and haven’t. It isn’t always the best tactic, but in the end I think that it is the right one and you never have to worry because you have never said anything that you will confuse with another story, because it is the only story.
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
I am here CLEO.
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
That is a good way to go, Cleo.
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
I’ve sent *my* comments to Kenny via the contact us page & encourage everyone to do likewise. Our comments may be lost among 350+ posts (a new record, BTW)!
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
Hey, CLEO! Still here.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Hey johnnyd & JFri. A wild day from an island cruise to a merry go round of comic mayhem. By the way “Lola” by the Kinks and “Take A Walk On The Wild Side” by Lou Reed.
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
Go us! Well mostly you guys, I had no internet for the majority of the day.
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
That must be the sand Shika was talking about. Cleo: I know Lola, but I will have to look up the other one.
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
Both good songs, CLEO. How about I Fought The Law by the Bobby Fuller Four?
cleokaya over 15 years ago
I want to see us post these kind of numbers when we don’t have a major shift like happened with gocomics. If we could have hit these numbers talking about island songs or what we were going to do on the island that would have been more of an achievement. in my mind. This afternoon was chaos creating posts of what does and doesn’t work.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
“Wild Thing” by the Troggs.
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Yeah,”I Fought The Law”.
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
Yeah those are all goodies.
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
Wild Thing is one of my all time favorites! Can’t believe I missed that one!
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
Yeah, me, too. And the law won, at least for one night!
cleokaya over 15 years ago
Well I am sorry my friends but my wife has returned. I doubt that I will be back before this day’s strip ends. Carry on and I would like to continue song discussion at whenever time works for everyone. It reminds me of songs that I have temporarily forgotten. Thanks both of you. Maybe I will see one or both of you on the early shift at Big Top.
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
Good night Cleo.
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
JFri, LOL, that’s a shame. The only run in with the law that I had was because my friend is an idiot. Naturally I didn’t get in trouble, because I didn’t do anything, but I almost did.
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
Jdoc, I got in trouble because of idiot fraternity brothers! I didn’t do anything wrong but ended up in jail in Storm Lake, IA!
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
Only one idiot in our group and we got him to confess to save our bottoms.
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
Lucky for the rest of you!
johnnydoc5 over 15 years ago
Indeed, it appears that your fraternity appears to believe in one for all and all for one.
The Duke 1 over 15 years ago
Sadly so!
