Big Top by Rob Harrell for July 03, 2009

FIRST AGAIN!

FIRST AND ONLY ONE LEFT STANDING! GUESS I DON”T HAVE TO MAKE BREAKFAST!!!! YOUWZAA! NIGHT ALL!

NO Pete, a picnic it ain’t, sometimes! Sometimes , IT’S A GREAT RIDE!

OK, Dry, I want breakfast!!!

Pirate appears in ‘Chuckle Bros’ today!

He’s reading MAXIM?

Dry! Where’s the coffee? I’m going to have to steal Wink’s coffee and his world is going to blow now too!

Good morning and Happy Friday!! I guess I’ll make scrambled eggs for everyone. Yeah, that would be safe to cook. I think I have some frozen waffles too I can heat up. And some cereal - all out of milk though. I guess I need to do some grocery shopping.

Morning Tribe. Akenta, have a great long holiday weekend. Is it cool at your house too? Going to play in the dirt before it gets too hot.

I haven’t been outside yet, but I haven’t had to turn on my air yet. donkeymom and josh do you either of you take part in the Peachtree Road Race? I don’t, but a few people from my office will be running in it tomorrow. I’m going to try and get up early and see if they run past a camera. Let me know if I should watch for either of you.

Akenta, My running days ended many years ago due to my knees. I did a lot of races back in the day, but never the Peachtree. Too many people. I still walk regularly, and truthfully, I walk about as fast as used to run. In a little while I’m going to the mountains.

Don’t worry about breakfast Akenta, today is the first day of the Stampede, so it’s flapjacks, bacon, sausages, and orange juice all around!

Thanks DFrog that’s yummy!!

Good morning all! Well I’ll be, he is reading a Maxim. Thanks, for the breakfast *DF*!

Good morning dry, marg, carmy, Akenta, donkeymom, DF, doctortoon7 johnnd.

*DF* - I have only been to the stampede once. I loved the chuck wagon races.

Good morning Cleo Doc, having actually read a Maxim before, I can say that neither is very appropriate for a kid his age.

doc, is your reactor coolant the coffee? I know some use molten sodium, others water. How long did it take to design a reactor to run on coffee?

@shika, did you catch my explanation?

Was it a good desperation save?

*DF* See you at the Stampede! YeeHaww! And thanks for the pancakes. Remember when they used to have peaches and cream with them at South Centre? Chinook still has a great breakfast but it is always so crowded. We go to the small ones to catch the entertainment.

Check out the * Dinette Set* today! Anyone familiar with the repartee with Joy, myself and often times JFri, will get a kick out it!

EMET left a strange message at NonSequitor for one of our own.

That is a shame Doc, when I was that age and even older, me and my brothers were playing with blocks, legos, tinker toys etc. building worlds and the destroying them. Good times.

Alright, alright! I feel quilty for not making breakfast! BUT NO ONE WAS HERE!! So how about a nice picnic lunch? Hamburgers, bratwurst, chicken wings, homemade macaroni and potoato salad, tomato and cucumber salad, fresh squeezed lemonade, cold beer, chilled wine, boston baked beans, corn on the cob and all the condiments for the burgers and bratwurst! Am I forgiven now?

You are definitely forgiven, Dry! And now off to RL. P & L Tribe

Gee doc, that was MONTHS ago, still gets mentioned now and again! :-D So I’m not forgiven until you taste the lunch, then what are you waiting for man, DIG IN!!

morning dawn, bye dawn! Have a good day!

OK so maybe Big Top’s no picnic but it smells like Dry has a good one set up for the tribe. YUMMY, thanks!

Hey all! Again this week RL intruded on my time so was unable to post but tried to keep up with the going’s on under the BT. I don’t think my absence created any disruption in the space time continuum for the tribe. (Sorry, just caught up on last season of Eureka so am in Sci-Fi mode.) I brought a deposit for the tribal bank.

☺ ♪ ♫

P & L all. I’ll try to drop in occasionally to see what’s happening.

Good Afternoon (or Morning) Everyone!

Akenta, thank you the tasty breakfast!

Doc, Doh! I forgot about the reactor coffee.

Dry, thanks for the picnic lunch!

hi im here for now. how is it going?

Doc you got it made then. but yuo miss all the fireworks. :(

so i have yet to catch up so i will ask this question… what do you think of my pic? can you see it well enough to know what is going on?

DAAAAAAAHH Strip:

Yeah, right - ‘n that’s just the tip o’ the iceberg.

Just think of what we’re doing to our OWN species:

http://tinyurl.com/nqrp3m

doc, try my picnic lunch already!!!

we would make a great spokesteam for Stouffers!!

Since you are off until tmr. night, do I sense a water battle invite or are you busy tonight ;-O

Hi TAbby!

I have to go here soon! RL but I’ll hang around another minute or two!

Hi DRY how are you? are you ready to go back to work yet? lol have a great day.

Carmy you were flashing people the other day??? i can’t believe it. lol shame on you guys for having dirty minds and taking advantage of my carmy like that.

Dry great lunch. I see why you couldn’t make breakfast too.

Tabby, taking advantage of carmy? LOL She is one mean vixen machine, she is!! :-D And on that note, RL interrupts for a bit! Have a great pm all, I’ll be back later!

AKENTA HI

Dry lol got your attention didn’t it? they better leave my girls alone i may not have been there but im here now. lol

Carmy the black eyes was just genius. lol

also page two from two days ago is all out of wack. its running all over the place. lol

Tabby, those guys were really getting crazy with that. It was just an innocent mistake I made. I got them back though, I went psycho on them.

I’ll BBL due to RL also.

Carmy im proud of you for getting them back. lol

have a great day all who RL has called b4 me.

shika very kind of you to think of me and not flood LA thanks. that means a lot to me. we could us some water so we can do fireworks and stuff but not alot.

Dry -MMM. The perfect lunch.

I remember discovering my cousin’s Playboy magazine collection. It was a big collection. I was young, probably around 12 years old. I spent a long time pouring over those magazines, a long, long time. I can still remember it, as if it was yesterday.

Good afternoon Tribe. I’m doing better, but my voice is still squeeky/creaky. Hopefullyitll be up to par Mondaywhen I go back to work. Kinda hard to answer the phones with a voice sounding like Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

I got home late yesterday, about 11:30pm, so I thoughtI would wait for da change and see if I could be first and surprise everyone. 12:30am came, no change. I checked previous postings and found it was usually about 1:30ish am when th change occured, and I was already exhaused. My spouse was chuckling as he watched me press and repress the refresh button. I retreated to a pretty decent night’s sleep.

So, recommendations for the ones who are FIRST but no one else is around to appreciate a hot breakfast. Break out the breakfast cereals, fruits, and such. Boiled eggs are quick and easy and would last long enough on th table for the hungry hoard to approach.

Oh heck with it…I know what you’re waiting for….

*KRISPY KREAMS FOR ALLLLLLL!!

I only just noticed The Dinette Set towels for yesterday. Doc, are those towels you supplied?

Hello Quaby & bmonk. I just came in from watering and picking raspberries and strawberries. Time to eat . I will gladly accept one Krispy Kream. Thanks.

Joy, Dry & STOFFERS! ;-)

hi joy

joy how are you doing today?

Joy, is your new avatar from the Dinette Set? I can’t tell…

Lasagna!! Where?

jdoc same thing im thinking i could eat that. give me give me some.

@cleo, forget the Krispy Kremes! I’d rather have some nice, fresh, raspberries with real cream…

Joy its hot here also. very hot we had heat lightning last night it was beautiful. durring my walk i saw it. like the new pic.

Oh, I saw that, I thought there was some more.

Hi Joy glad I get to see you before you run off with the pirate.

bye joy.

i have to get off and feed the kid bbl peace and love

Yes: to all the tribe, have a most joyous Fourth, don’t eat too much (to the point of stomachache), and enjoy the fireworks. Unless you are of the four-footed, furry persuasion, as in feline or canine. In that case, you have permission to cower under the bed howling. Or hissing and growling.

Hi Everyone!

Hi Shika!

One thing about living in an affordable gated community (usually the two do not go together, and my spouse is unemployed)……..we got a little notice reminding us fireworks were forbotten within the complex and anyone setting them off would be subject to The LAW I’m not sure what the city’s policy on fireworks is, however, I remember a clause we initialed was ‘no fireworks, bbq grills no closer than 10’ to building, etc’. I suspect offenders will be evicted.

Anywho…that means my sweet Stormy is fixing to enjoy her 2nd year of peace and quiet on the 4th and upcoming New Year’s. Not to mention me….I startle easily.

I’m not going to make it early to set breakfast,so I have put some Krispy Kreams and banana’s inDry ‘s cupboard for tomorrow’s feast. Enjoy tomorrow.

Well, that was short. It posted before I finished, and then I remembered I was hungry, so I’ve put my dinner to heat in the little white box, and I’m eating salad now, waiting. It’s sad when you start eating in front of the computer, but I’ve sunk this low now.

@ bmonk: Which explaination are you referring to? The pathetic excuse for telling me I bark like a dog? LOL

I’m tougher than I look- but more cat-like than dog-like. At least I don’t bark AND wag my tail at the same time, making you wonder which end to believe.

Why do I have the feeling I’m going to regret saying that? LOL

Joy As it is daylight across the USA right now….how could you have seen heat lightning a little while ago? I equate ‘little while’ to less than 3 hours….but what state or country are you in?

I know, strange question from the paranoid week-day lurker but this intrigues me…I like lightning and storms and tornados and disasters and megadisasters…….did anyone see Knowing?

Anyways, I’m going out again when I finish eating, so have a feild day with that post.

johnny- When I said, “small things amuse a small mind” I was referring to myself writing all those bleeeping posts last night.

But if you think you’re better suited to the description- take it, it’s yours! LOL

Did you ever find the other (teeny tiny) half of your mind??

@Quaby, we’ve had the occasional bursting fireworks for most of the last week. Tomorrow, it should be pretty constant afternoon to after midnight…

@Shika, the one (17 mad hours ago) where I said, “No, but like any wisdom saying, you must adapt it to your own circumstances. For you, it should say, ‘Why keep a cat and hiss and spit and growl for yourself?’

“On the other hand, it sometimes is fun to hiss and growl like a cat, especially when some animal deserves it. On the other other hand, I don’t have a cat (or a dog either), so I am justified in barking or howling or hissing or any other dang-blasted sound I care to make.”

Note that I say nothing about what sounds you may (or may not) make; only what I do….

Dry- Sneaky! Pulling a “Shika” and coming back to be first!

Keep up the good work! LOL You’ve learn from the master., hee-hee.

(…That post was about 290 yestre.)

@ bmonk: Apology accepted, if that’s what it was. I do let Mua do the growling and occasional hissing here. He’s the man of the house, so he thinks tha’s his job anyways.

And you should growl or hiss if you have no pet. I know I would!

No Shika, I didn’t, I keep walking in circles, because the half of my body controlled by the missing part won’t move. lol

I do bear certain resemblances to Curly of the Three Stooges. Oops, do I dare admit that here?

We didn’t even have official fireworks for Canada Day, because our patriotic (not) civil servants are on strike. so we had only the neighbourhood fireworks- at least, I think they were fireworks. LOL It may have been Terry or JFri practising!

It’s also getting smelly with no garbage pickup, and hot with no pools open.

I also like Stouffer’s foods, especially the lasagne. Except on my buget, I make everything from scratch now.

Hi Joy- Like your picture of Joy.

bmonk, I bare no resemblance to any of the stooges, but am told I act like them.

Did I use the wrong bear? I get confused with homophones.

We have dueling fireworks on the lake. I used to compete with fireworks displays, but my dock is too short to make me feel comfortable with where shorter bursts come down. After one got close to neighbor’s house, I decided that was it. Now I just the neighbor go at it.

We just got to go from two garbage pickups per week to one. :-(

Which Curly bmonk? Or where there two Larrys? I forget.

Poor dizzy johnny! I’m dizzy too, but both halves of my brain work. Just in a round about way. LOL

There were multiple “Curlys”, but only one Larry and Moe. There was going to be another Larry, but Moe died and that was that.

johnnydoc- I think it’s “bear”. And I don’t want to tell you what I first though of when you said “homophone”. (Well, I will- I thought you said “homophobe, and couldn’t figure out what that had to do with the topic.

My small mind plays these trick on me……….

And yes, I do know what both words mean. I know all about Latin roots.

I just remember two Curlys. But I can see why they quit after Moe died- He was the distinctive one. I like both Curlys, but the second one I liked best, I think.

Actually, If I remember, there was only one Curly, but the third Stooge was Joe or Shemp, in some of the films. Shemp had stringy, straight hair, Curly (best of the three) was bald, and Joe wasn’t in that many.

Hey Quaby- Glad you are feeling better. I was worried about you.

Mua says “meow” to Stormy. Hope she’s not to fussy about who meows to her. Mua has a really soft heart, and just loves other cats. He doesn’t know how to play macho cat with other cats, he’s just so happy to see someone like himself! LOL

Shemp was the second one. He and Moe and the original Curly were brothers. Larry was a man of many talents that they picked up on the way. Curly had health problems and died young. Shemp replaced him, but died shortly afterward. He was replaced by Joe, and Joe was later replaced by Curly-Joe. Larry retired in 1970 after having a stroke. Moe was going to try and carry on, but after smoking his whole life, he got lung cancer, and just couldn’t do it. So after he died, none of the originals were left, and it was time to hang it up.

bmonk- I think you have the Three Stooges mixed up with Bonanza, LOL

Shemp, I remember- but not Joe.

And then there’s the Marx brothers, but I have to go now, so I’ll catch up with your reply later.

BBML

See, I was wrong. There were two Curlys. The act originally featured Moe Howard, brother Shemp Howard and longtime friend Larry Fine.

Shemp was later replaced by brother Curly Howard. When Curly suffered a debilitating stroke in 1946, Shemp rejoined the act.

After Shemp’s death in 1955, he was replaced by bald-headed comedian Joe Besser, after the use of stuntman Joe Palma to record several “Shemp” shorts after his death.

Eventually Joe “Curly-Joe” or “Curly” DeRita (born Joseph Wardell) would replace Joe Besser.

I stand corrected, and will bow out gracefully now………

My brain works in funny ways: I can remember all that, but can’t seem to remember information for exams… go figure.

cleo, your comment re: playboy magazine made 4 hours ago “Ican still remember it as if it were yesterday.” Are you sure it wasn’t yesterday? Come on Cleo, You set yourself up for that one. I didn’t make it to the second set of comments, so I hope nobody beat me to it!

Lot of Stooge fans here. I might not see you later Shika, so have a good weekend.

DOG GONE IT!! I missed Joy and JFri!

Hi johnny, got any big plans for the 4th?

Hi Dry, I am going out to visit the Grand parents. From their house, I can see multiple fireworks displays, and can do some of my own.

Quaby, yes, I felt quilty about breakfast even IF NO ONE was around, so I made lunch! Did you see the spread I made for lunch??

CVII

There is some Latin for you lovers of the classics. I just noticed Joy’s earlier post about it.

Actually I am almost certain, Larry Fine was Curly, Shemp and Moes first cousin!

johnny what is CVII?

C=100, V=5, I=1 so CVII=107. As in post number…

I don’t know if that is true, Dry, I think that they found Larry when they were still part of Ted Healy’s group, and didn’t know him before that. He could be related, but I’ve never seen it mentioned.

That’s right bmonk.

johnny I thought it was mentioned, someone was a cousin and it sure wasn’t either of the Joe guys. That basically leaves no one else.

johnny, i just went to Wikipedia! You are right, I don’t know where I got the idea Larry was a cousin. Maybe it was on one of those boat trips with the Pirate and Joy, too much rum! LOL

I love the Stooges! I have a DVD and it has “Disorder in the Court.” It’s hilarious!

We were allowed to watch the three stooges on TV in the ’60s–until some of us started copying their antics. Then the privilege was revoked. Mom didn’t want to see someone get poked in the eye, I guess…

Dry That’s why I left my stuff with you, I’m habitually late and snacking on the leftovers, many of which are quite tasty. If no one is ‘home’ just leave the stuff on the table. You’ll hear the munching and know it’s time to jump onboard this circus train

Quaby, well my FIRST days are probably over for a while. I go back to work next week, and no way in H E L L am I staying up that late on a work night! (She says now, wait until the moment comes! LOL) I had my 3 moments of glory!!

DOC HAPPY FOURTH TO YOU TOO! ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH YOUR SWEETIE!

(((((((((((((((((DOC))))))))))))))))))

Summer on the lake, means we have company a lot. Unfortunately, it also takes me away from the Tribe. I loved the 3 stooges. I would watch them all the time on TV and also went to their movies. But I never liked them as much as I did Abbott & Costello.

Cleo, I used to like them both, abbott and costello the best. And WC Fields!

Ah yes, WC Fields. I remember the author Ray Bradbury telling this story. As a little kid he idolized WC Fields, so he went to the studio and waited until Fields arrived. He said that he was so pleased that Fields actually spoke to him. When asked what did Fields say to you, Ray Bradbury replied, that Fields had said “Get out of my way you little son of a bitch.”

I like all of those that you all mentioned. Did you all like The Great Gildersleeve or Mr. Belvedere? I think Clifton Webb was Mr. Belvedere.

carmy - Clifton Webb was Belvedere. I love his droll sense of humor

cleo, yeah I heard that about him, but his movies were funny!!

Ahh nostalgia. I liked Laurel and Hardy too. I must be going now though. Have a good weekend all! I probably won’t be back until Sunday or Monday.

johnnyd - Enjoy the 4th.

Clifton Webb, what was the movie he was in with Myrna Loy, the family that had all those kids? It was a true story, one of my favorites, but the name of it escapes me!

And some of the GREATEST movies of all time, all the Thin Mans, William Powell and Myrna Loy. And people think todays movies are the best, YEAH some are, but you can’t hold a candle to the old classics and the great actors! Bette Davis, Cary Grant, Maureen O’Hara, John Wayne, Lucillle Ball, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Spencer Tracy and Kate Hepburn, and on and on!

And Bill Holden, Stalag 17, Bridge on the River Kwai, Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster in 7 Days in May, Burt Lancaster in The Rainmaker, man!

Dry - Cheaper by the Dozen”.

I loved “The Thin Man” movies, and bought several of them to watch over and over again. They had such great chemistry as did Bogart & Bacall, and Cary Grant & Spencer Tracy with Katherine Hepburn.

It’s funny. I just went out to pick up a novel I am reading and a character in it, turns on the TV and watches The Three Stooges.

Cleo, Ah yes, Cheaper by the Dozen! What a great movie!And sad at the end!

where’d carmy go?

Boy we are a small group tonight, soon to get smaller I suspect!

I wonder who will be first at the changeover? Not me!

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if no one was??!!

Dry - Yes, very small group or in this case, at the moment, just you and me.

I love old black and white movies. Besides The Thin Man series, I loved Philadelphia Story, Some Like It Hot and It Happened One Night. Oh, and Holiday Inn.

Oh, and I loved the Barrymores.

Dry, sorry we’re getting ready for dinner. I’m having a hard time keeping up with you all. Yes, on the movies and the actors. Those were really wonderful movies, so funny many of them.

When I was very young I loved the “Tammy” movies and “Gidget” too.

cleo, You got it! Great minds think alike! And what about ” “Bringing Up Baby!???”

Oh and how about this ALL TIME ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOVIES OF ALL “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”! I can still laugh til I cry on that one! Someof the best comedic actors of all time (although John Candy was just a wee baby then, imagine what he could have brought to that movie!) Good times, good times!

carmy, there isn’t much to keep up on, just me and cleo, and pretty soon we’ll be gone I suspect!

carmy, Tammy and Gidget, movies designed for romantic teenagers like you and me!!

I like Arsenic and Old Lace. Peter Lorre was great. Hey, my brother met Peter Lorre’s son in Houston. He said that the son sounded just like his Dad.

carmy -Nice to have you back. Yep, good movies you two. Also, I love “The Russians Are Coming”. Oh an Mel Brooks movies. I love his sense of humor.

Oh yes * Dry,* romantic teenagers such as we. LOLS

My wife is playing Scrabble on the deck with our company. The game is nearing its conclusion and I am not sure what will happen then.

Mel Brooks - History of the World - hilarious!

“To Have and Have Not”. The chemistry between Bacall and Bogart was intense.

Actually all Mel Brooks movies are really funny. I have High Anxiety on tape.

I got to go now. Hopefully, I can come back later. Just in case, I will wish you both a Good Evening! See ya later!

I love “High Anxiety”. Speaking of which, “Rear Window.”

carmy - Sayonara friend.

cleo “The Russians are Coming” oh yeah!! And does anybody remember “Cold Turkey” with Bob Newhart, Dick Van bleeep and Barnard Hughes, among many others, Randy Newman did the theme song for it, about people trying to quit smoking in a small town to win 1 million for the town? And EVERYBODY had to quit!

I can’t believe D Y K E was bleeped. For gawd sake it’s the actors last name!!!

Have a good 4th Carmy!! ((((((())))))))))))

IT IS A VERY LONELY PLACE HERE. TRIBE MEMBER OFF TO DINNER OR HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES. ME…HERE…ALL…ALONE.

DRY- LOL. I WAS SITTING BACK ON PAGE THREE WONDERING WHERE EVERYBODY WAS AND DIDN’T REALIZE WE HAD SHIFTED OVER TO PAGE FOUR.

I don’t know, Dick Van Bleep sounds pretty cool. I know, it’s odd what words are bleeped and what isn’t.

IT IS A VERY LONELY PLACE HERE.

hey cleo Im here

has been a long hot day here on the east coast im 20 minutes from Manhatan…and its been quite humid

Owlsy - How are you? Hope things are in a better space for you at the moment. I am off to have dinner on our deck. Hopefully I will be back before too long.

Page two- Three stooges trivia. No wonder I don’t emember them all. I wasn’t even born. I must have gotten re-runs mixed up and didn’t know who was first. I liked the bald Curly, but only because I remember him best.

My Grandmother’s maiden name was Howard. Maybe I’m related! I looked a little like Moe with the bangs as a kid. (Ha! just kidding, honestly!)

johnny doc. ain’t it always the case? We have great memeories for trivia, but come exam time, poof! everything vacates the premises.

Shika - I guess we can start calling you Moe from now on, just kidding.

I am a trivia nut. Well, I guess I’m more of a nut who happens to know trivia, especially entertainment trivia. Well, off to watch a movie. Hopefully I will be back.

Of course, now I’m at the last page, everyone is gone. Well, it’s 11:00p.m. I’ll keep popping in until I fall asleep. Iwent over to my friend’s to garden, and after three hours of raking and tidying up- it takes longer with one bum arm- I’m “bushed” if you’ll pardon the expression.

Sorry I missed you johnny! Have a good time at your grandparent’s place. Enjoy the fireworks!

Hi* Owlsley–* Good to see you.

Dry, cleo, carmy and fellow comedy nuts, love listening to you remember old movies. Sounds like we all like the same ones mostly.

bmonk I can’t believe you acted like the 3 stooges as a kid. LOL Must have been hilarious! I know about the eye poke thing. Kids might not notice that he never really connected when he did that.

cleo Enjoy your movie. My hair isn’t black, it is fair- golden blonde. But mom cut our bangs using scotchtape to keep them straight. Of course, it never worked that way, and my sister and I had the shortest pixie cuts you can imagine!

I had my first physio today. It was neat- two electrodes passing a loop of current along my arm. Then she used ultra sound on the arm. She said someone asked her what she “saw”! I told her, “It’s a boy!” She laughed.

I could hear one of the physiotherapist out there joking away with his clients. I wanted to laugh out loud- but I was sitting alone in a little curtained off room. He was a regular Yappy Nut! I should tell him about this place. He’s fit right in. Hilarious!

I’m here shika but need to say good night :-( Take care everyone!!

back for a few min….

Dry

trust me any computer problems you are having are nothing to whats going on here on mine. first my screen was HUGE then it was to small now its messed up and my big top here is all out of wack still the comic takes up more then half the page. its all messed up.. make it right. my words are to small for me to see (almost) and my brother deleated my spell check…. AGAIN. so i think i win for now. lol

Owlsley its good to see you back i miss you around here. i dont ask because i know whats going on. i just hope it all ends well you are a great man. dont be afraid to drop in sometime.. wo dont mind you are part of the tribe and its good to have you here… now that i know your sitting back just reading and soaking us in im going to start leaving you messages. :D that way you have to talk sometime. lol miss you. peace and love to you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvo-g_JvURI&NR=1

for all the cat lovers out there.. this is great. love it.

mini break from the movie. Some of the night crew have arrived I see. Hello Skika & tabby. Goodnight Akenta. It was a stellar day here today. 80 degrees, we had a good swim, had all my meals outdoors, didn’t have to work to hard … life is good.

Cute video tabby. It is always fun when you see a cat screw up. Cats always come across as very together and when they mess up you can almost feel their embarrassment.

Cleo its so cute isn’t it? i love it

my bro who dislikes cats liked that video and said he wants a cat just to see these things happen. lol

Yep tabby. I have always like watching animal videos, So, what are your plans for the fourth of July?

My wife is back. I will depart again to watch the last of our movie. Hopefully back later.

cleo i will be babysitting… Ana and wont be alowed in my own home with her bc her mom thinks she is allerigic to my house. so nice of her. also going out of twon to see my grand maw fun fun fun. (not)

HAPPY FORTH OF JULY ALL!

well im on alittl loner talking to friend how i havent talked to in a while.

Hi Akenta! And Good Night. Sorry I missed you.

My hand I sore from using the rose clippers so much. Hurts to type and use the mouse. I hate getting old-er. I’ll feel better tomorrow though.

cleoHow’s the movie? I think it’s neat you always watch a movie with your wife. Or alone! I guess you’d watch a movie regardless, right? I’m so out of it these days- no T.V., I don’t go to movies anyomre. Don’t watch videos or DVDs, although I could.

But I don’t miss it either. That’s just me. good thing my parents watch a lot of T.V.m and movies while I was growing up, or I’d never know what you guys are talking about.

tabby- I keep missing you too. You are like a real sister to me now. I never see her either. LOL!

You are a wonderful person- so giving and compassionate. And funny too! Have a good sleep girl. Hope to catch up with you soon.

Hi tabby- Still here?

cleo I don’t think I can stay up tonight. Sorry! I am going to bed now, or I’ll never get any sleep.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO MY AMERICAN FRIENDS!

You get to sing tomorrow- just like me!

*♪♫♪OOHH SAY CAN YOU SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

♪♪♫BY THE DAWN’S EARLY LIIIIIGHT♪♪♫*

Well shoot! I hope you can sing better than that! I can’t type it any better I’m afraid, so you’ll just have to wing it!

Shika- Good night. We don’t have TV either in the normal sense. We have a TV to watch netflix videos and it took us 4 days to watch all of this one, between company & the desire to be outdoors.

Shika - Thank you for the fourth of July wishes.

*I HAVE A THOUGHT THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A SLOW COUPLE OF DAYS. ONLY US UNEVENTFUL PEOPLE WILL POST… YAWN. OH WAIT, I’M EVENTFUL,JUST NOT TONIGHT. GET A LIFE CLEO.•••

shika you here?

cleo i got one you wnat it? (a life) well this time im getting off for real going walk the poor dog. night all

Cleo and tabby I’m here.

tabby - Enjoy your walk. You will need your life. I am sure to find one around here someplace.

I just watched your video on the cats and laughed my head off Tabby

I think I’ve seen some of tose on America’s Funniest Home Videos.

doctortoon - I sure hope that you are not doing anything that I wouldn’t do? Shnerkle, shnerkle. We are to much alike my friend.

Mua kept looking at me and meowing at me while I was laughing. He thinks I’m talking to him or something. He rolls over and looks so cute when I laugh.

cleo Are you ignoring me? I’m trying to talk to you!

Either it talks a long time for my posts to show up, or you just found a life!LOL

Shika - How is life in the great province of Ontario? The last time I drove through your province it took me five days. I, though am not a pile on the miles guy. I drive until I see a reason to stop, then do.

Shika - Nice to have someone on board. What are your plans for the weekend?

I guess you saw no reason to stop in Ontario then. Although I know you have.

I like Ontario. It has lots to see if you like to travel Northwards.

Mua is now acting lile a kitten and having the sillies.

Shika - I think it was you that I was talking to about the train trip to Moosonee from Cochrane. It is a wonderful trip for a day.

cleo Tomorrow I hope to get more writing done. Sunday, I’m visiting a church that may be a placement for me in the fall, then back for a nap or a long walk- depending on how I feel. Since I’m off work- weekends aren’t a big deal for me.

How about you?

Yes, it was me you were talking to. Isn’t always the way that we seldom sightsee in our own territory?

And to think that I worked for Ontario Alive one summer.

What did you like best?

I stayed in Haileyberry last fall. Fascinating history. A fire distroyed the town and nearby Colbalt years ago. One man suffocated in a well. He didn’t burn- just suffocated when the fire went over him. Most town folks saved themselves in October- think of how cold it was- by jumping in the Lake. There is a memorial statue of a woman handing her baby to a rescuer after the fire- true story!

cleo If you are gone, I’m going to bed. You’ll have to be first.

Tomorrow, my wife’s family is out for the day. Swimming and games and BBQ. We have several celebrities on the lake and they have always had a duel of fireworks. Our closest participant just told me that he wasn’t going to take part this year. We will still have others, but they are less visible. Bummer.

That’s too bad. I guess it takes time and effort to do a good job of those fireworks. I can remember as a kids watching them on our beach on Geogian Bay. Dad had some, and our neighbours too. In the early days, there weren’t many around to watch, but later, there were big displays on Christian Island.

Shika - I am here.

*cleo Your wife’s family will be with you? I thought at first she was going out with them.

Hi Shika and Cleo! I’m leaving to make my rounds, but I’ll be bach, as Ahnold would say.

I see you cleo. thanks for telling me.

What time is it there? 11:00pm.?

Can you see Pirate on the lake?

Marg - Hello and welcome.

Hi Marg! Did you see my congrats to you yesterday?

How did you divert Niagra Falls cleo? I wondered about that.

Hey cleo- you bored? What’s happin’ man?

Good Night all! See you tomorrow!
