Big Top by Rob Harrell for July 23, 2009

Hello everyone!

Am I first this time?

Hi Ladywolf. I missed by a few seconds again. Oh well.

Hi serenaskitty.

DOC: Check out ‘Dog Eat Doug’ today.

Where’s our breakfast????

Hm-mmm, no breakfast… sigh, I guess it’s up to me.

Ok, bagels and schmear, scrambled eggs with crumbled bacon, and fresh blueberry pancakes, with maple syrup. And grits for those that eat ‘em.

Thanks for the yummy breakfast, Marg!

Hi ladywolf, serena and bigg!

All tied up and nowhere to go, poor Dusty!

PIRATE: See Free Range by Bill Whitehead.

Hi, CARMY!

Hi Marg, Carmy, and Bigg. I was going to contribute some fresh waffles with whipped cream, choice of fruit and sprinkles. Also fresh juice. Marg, should go well with your breakfast.

serenasakitty: Yum, that will go well.

bigg3469: Coming right up!

MrSpock: They’re extremly intelligent people who hold many deep and varied conversations. What were you looking for?

What a day! Don’t want another like it for a long time!!

Breakfast Hmmmm! Well I’m having an egg and cheese omlet with french toast on the side with some crispy bacon and a glass of orange juice. Help yourselves there’s plenty for everyone.

Sorry it took me so long to come back, but I had a commitment to keep to a certain group so to speak.

I’m going to bed now because i got to go to work at 6:30 A.M.

Good morning and Happy Thursday!! A lot of good breakfast items today. I think I’ll help myself to some French toast since I’ve been thinking about that lately.

Good morning all. Hello doctortoon. You seem to be the only one around yet this morning.

I’m still here, sort of. I just dozed off in front of the computer. I REALLY hate when I do that. Hello Cleo, Doctoon, JFri. Akenta and Mr Spock. Have a great day everyone.

*Good Morning

ladywolf serena bigg Marge Carmy Spock JFri Akenta Doc Cleo

I hope I got everyone.

I have brought Blueberry Pancakes, breakfast burrittos with hot sauce on the side, hash browns, juice, and milk.

I’m never first so I just want to contribute.

Good Morning Serena & Lonewolf. It is beginning as a quiet start today.

HI Terry/Lonewolf I hope you’re feeling well today.

I will do a taste comparison test on the blueberry pancakes.

Morning all!

Hey Doc - did you regift your socks to The Argyle Sweater this morning?

Serena, It’s a new day, everything starts fresh and I get to Yap with all you beautiful people! What more could I ask for?

Cleo

My pancakes are always made with fresh fruit, too!

I do need some of that Nuclear coffee again please.

The doctors say I need to relax and rest, but there are too many things I need to be doing. Coffee!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning DF

Well, I am off to check out my Fantasy Baseball and jump on the toonland merry-go-round. BBL

Yep, doctortoon is correct. I dozed off with my hands on the keyboard.

I’d love to stay and yak some more but reality calls [bellows, screams] I don’t know when or if I’ll get back today but I’ll try. If only to avoid having 6 or 7 or more pages to catch up on. Rock on yakking!!!!!!!!!

Doctoon you must be eating flowers and drinking perfume. When I “toot” it usually clears the room…

Cleo

I just had to reply at Red & Rover. My mind started running wild, I just couldn’t resist. And yes I was lucky/unlucky enough to date twins once!

DF Whassup?

Morning, tribe! I’ve finally caught up with the comments from yesterday & this morning. Now to do my stroll around the gocomic block. BBL (Good one, DFrog!)

Did anybody here ever clarify how to do the type upside down?

Good Morning RRAmom

Everybody has left the building. I guess I’m outta here for now. BBL

DAAAAAAAHH STRIP:

He’s toast.

I’ve made my rounds here. Had to skip over Overboard & Shoe today because of the filter. Guess I’ll “google” and see if I can find those at any other sites. I’ll be popping in & out most of the day, I expect.

Morning Tribe. I’m scrambling to get ready to meet my physio appt. and dr. appt. Thanks for the breakfast Marg, serena, ladywolf and Lonewolf. I don’t know where to start, but I will be well-fed today.

MMM. Nuclear coffee goes down well.

I’ll have to respond to individuals later. :-( I seem to start late these days. I didn’t sleep much last night either. Guess that’s why.

Toodeloo! (Where the heck did THAT come from? LOL

Sweet dreams Doc, may flocks of seagulls sing thee to thy rest…

According to HRH Vicky, the best thing would be to get Dusty to bite Dane Cook…

Shikamoo If you don’t know why you went “to da loo”, maybe it’s time to switch to Depends….

Rather quiet here today… My hubby’s going to do some geeking today that will interrupt our internet service. I hope it will be a short interruption!! So, if you hear a deafening silence this way, you’ll know what happened.

MrSpock: You said, “I believe it is the cleverly disguised innuendo that shocks my otherwise reserved and disciplined nature.” Are you referring to the cartoon itself? Yes, Brooke has been doing very sexual themes lately in both of his cartoons. It pleases him. If you’re not referring to the cartoon, then I am at a loss as to what you’re talking about.

Just popped in to say both hi and bye for a bit. I have to work tonight so I’m going for a little nap. I’ll try to get on again a bit later.

Hi, Tribe…. just passing through.

Just got home from work. It was an early day, today. First I wonder if Dusty is having an allergic reaction as a result of biting the clown. Second to Mr Spock I agree with Marg.And add, it may be hard for you to get into the story script as being we’re midway through it by now. To fully understand Pibgorn you need to read The Old Wolf’s page. Pibgorn is meant to confuse you. Like I said get to know some of us. I’ll start first I’m ladywolf17 , residential story-teller at Pibgorn. Please to meet you Mr Spock. See! just like that, I like you already.

YOUR PRETTY CUTE FOR A VULCAN

Ok everyone I had some of doc’s left-over nuclear coffee and it kind of made me a little bit wacky.

Was I just flirting with a Vulcan a moment ago? (lol)

Hi all, Is Dusty turning into an accordion? As for Pibgorn, I never got into it, because I didn’t know what the he!! was going on. Oh well, on to the rounds. bbs.

And sorry doctortoon, being a teenager, I have so much commitments to keep up with.

I’ll try to do better next time. (I promise).

johnnydoc5 not much into Pibgorn I can understand where your coming from. But then again you miss my stories when I post them over there.

MARKER

Hey Rad

ladywolf, you could post them here too, I am too lazy to read the trillions of comments left there, and then read the ones here too.

I caught up with the comments yesterday, and have one question. Shika, which college do you attend?

Here’s the link I promised yesterday

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuMVaAxuH6o

It’s about 8.5 minutes long, and I still got chills watching it. The dance is only a couple minutes, but they included the judges comments too on the clip.

Hope you enjoy and here’s another deposit into our bank for those around the world that need it.

I’m back before I have to take my son to football practice.

ladywolf17, Are your stories related to the strip or just other stories.

Hey johnny, Akenta, and big Rad too!

How are ya’ all doin’?

Ok, I’ll check back when football practice is over.

P&L BBL

Hey Terry how are you doing today?

Hi Terry and Akenta, football practice?

Boy yesterday, I wasn’t around much and there was no stop to the conversation. Today I have more time to talk, and people are scarce.

Hey johnnyD good too see you too!!

Akenta, were you the one talking about fantasy baseball?

No, that wasn’t me. I’m slowing making my way down the ranks in my league, so I try not to think about it. On the other hand, in a few weeks, I’ll probably create a fantasy football league. Another place I can start in first place and climb down to the bottom. :-)

Hi, johnny & Akenta! My hubby gave up on changing out the router (don’t ask - he’s a geek) and put the old one back in that was/is working fine. I can’t sit at the computer all evening, but I’ll pop in & out.

Hi RRAmom glad your computer is back and working.

Well, I meant did you have one, but I think I got my answer. My team started at the bottom, made a bit a surge, but I think the early hole might be too hard to get out of. I never do well in football, and last year I started out the team to beat, and ended up the beaten team.

Hi RRAmom! I live by the motto that if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

johnnydoc I still have no idea what I’m doing in the fantasy baseball. Don’t even like the sport, but I have a favorite team in case somebody asks (cardinals). Football, I at least know something about. Not as much as I used to. I’ve never been into college football, but going to give it a try this year - got a team to root for (go Vols) and a bunch of people in the office that hate that team, so it might be a fun season.

johnny - Me, too! Especially when it comes to computers. I’ve decided that I have to have a laptop (vs. a desktop) for my computer, because it gives my hubby less opportunity to “geek it.” We’ve got more computers in the family, than we do family members. I’ve been using computers since there were punchcards, but I’m strictly a user. My husband & our 19 (20 next Tuesday) old son are both computer geeks, so they love messing with things. I was so mad at my husband (this happened many years ago) when he decided to “upgrade” my computer (more memory or something) and lost everything on my hard drive. Since I do all my planning for our homeschool on computer, I was NOT a happy camper!! Since I started owning laptops (that was a desktop) I’ve been much happier because it is easier to keep the geeks’ paws off of my computer. If I’m worried about them messing with it, I can easily pack it up and take it with me.

Oh no! I hate the cardinals, as is right being a Tigers fan. I love baseball, that world series was heartbreaking. I don’t know much about the college football outside of Michigan, but since I go there, I am a big fan of theirs.

RRAmom you tell your husband if he truly is a geek, he should be backing up every computer each week lol.

He’s. . .

BA-A-ACK!

Maybe your husband and son would be helpful to me, I can’t seem to get my laptops to last a whole year. Even this one is starting to go. It won’t stay open, so I have to prop it up against things. I am afraid to tinker with it, because I don’t want to all my stuff, not nearly as important as your info would have been, but still a pain in the @$$ to try to recover or replace.

Hi bmonk.

I used to know a little about college football before I was married, because I have two brothers who graduated from Oklahoma U, and are sports nuts. (Football & wrestling - they even lived & ate with the athletes when they were there). But that was back when Barry Switzer was coaching. Since my hubby doesn’t care about football, I lost interest, as the primary reason I paid attention was so that I wasn’t lost in conversation around prospective members of the opposite sex. I’m sure if I wanted to know about college football, I could ask one of my brothers, but I’m not really THAT interested. (They wouldn’t stop talking until long after my eyes glazed over.)

johnnydoc, my engineer sibs (3 or 4 at last count) and computer system analysists (2) say that laptops are very handy and useful, but they are also rather fragile and very expensive to repair, which means they tend to rather short lifespans. So good luck.

OTOH, these days no computer system lasts much beyond 2-3 years for most people anyway, so maybe one year is acceptable.

A variety of other stories.Terry/Lonewolf

None are related to the comic strips.

Hi bmonk!

Oh! is Mr Spock mad at me for flirting with him.

Hi, all. Can’t stay long, might BBL, but prolly not. Don’t know how much time I have tomorrow, since there’s plenty to catch up on…

Not for me, my last computer lasted 9 years. That is the standard to which I hold all computers. Funny thing is, the computer I got after that was cheaper and better, and still works, though not very well.

Akenta - I just do my backup once a month, and it is HIS problem if he doesn’t backup his computers. (Let’s see, that would be 4 if you count both home & work computers.) At least he bought me my own external hard drive, so I can take care of my own backups. (Our sons have an additional 3 computers between the 2 of them. I just have my laptop.)

Good to see you both bmonk and ladywolf I’ve got some tv to watch soon, but I’ll stop back when the shows are over.

I got this laptop (new) a little over 2 years ago. So far, still running good. It is my 3rd laptop, but I think I got at least a couple years out of each one. I think I prefer getting a new laptop every few years, rather than trying to fix/upgrade an old one. There’s always new features like CD/DVD burners, USB ports, memory card ports, built-in wireless cards, etc. that it is just easier to buy a newer computer incorporating those features than to try to install them in an old one.

For me to do any kind of story here, I would need everyone’s approval and then request what kind of stories that they’re interested in. It would help me get ideas for a story-line plot.

Hey johnny, Akenta, bmonk and Ladywolf.

RRAmom- I don’t need someone to fiddle with my computer, it does weird things all by itself.

SHIKA! hi how are you?

Shika - LOL!

Digital: I prefer Huggies.

RRAmom: No kidding. I never know what I’m going to wake up to. I think that Windows and HP are duking it out on my computer. Always a fight for control. And now Google is in the mix.

okay guys and gals im home… and have a little over 100 coments to catch up on in very little time. lol

the dent. put spacers in my mouth AGAIN! im very ticked off i was there for 5 min and out … i had to go to work bc of spacers. oh so mad. going catch up then chat.

HI ALL

I got my tetnus and diphthearia (sp) shot today. Bite me.

(I didn’t really say that, did I? I don;t even know what it means!)

All these computer problems, YIKES!

Hey Ladywolf. I’m doing okay today.

How about you?

Doc It hilarious how you thought my polka dot sweat suit was a show girl suit! :-D

Dang tabby! that sucks.

johnnydoc Did you catch my comment to you last night? Have you dissappeared again?

Rad Marker or REmarker? How was your day?

Don’t know about everyone’s workday today, but mine was awesome.

How do you do that up-side down trick?

Ladywolf- Behave yourself now!

What happened Ladywolf?

who thought Dusty was an accordian?LOL “Squeeze me! I’m a Charmain.

He’s tied up! I think that he just needs to watch the news to fix him.

Tabby You got your teeth spaced today, and I got mine bonded yesterday. LOL

What does a spacer do?

I knew I shouldn’t have said that, Doc! LOL

I guess I am a little naughty today aren’t I.

But you”re not free to bite me! I think there may be some unpleasant side-effects.

:-P

DOC– Not if you’re Santa Claus- LOL!

My day was good. Today at work I witnessed a baby horse being born (is it foal is that what you call a baby horse).

Hello everyone. Lots of company today so I was unable to be around. Kind of a lull before dinner, so I popped in to say hi. Lonewolf - I actually dated one of the first doublemint twins way back in the 60’s, so everytime I see the Mintz twins on Red And Rover it brings up memories … pleasant memories ;-)

I’m glad I didn’t say “pinch me”.

Shika i have no clue what they do

well im caught up just in time to get behind again. bye for now going eat.

Guess I just did, didn’t I?

I did disappear, forgive my rudeness, but I was hungry. And I don’t know which comment I was supposed to catch, the one about your day or the one yelling at me for leaving. :-D

yes doc, you are right. At lease I’m not being nasty.

ladywolf- A foal is a young horse. To talk about a young female horse you would call her a filly. A young male is a colt. So your term is indeed correct. How cool was that. That is why you enjoyed work today. That is pretty special alright.

Ladywolf- That’s neat. Yes it would be a foal. Then it turns into a colt or a filly, then a horse (?) or a mare.

Stallion, I mean, for the male horse.

Hi cleo Good to see you here. I keep missing you.

ladywolf17 said, “being a teenager, I have so much commitments to keep up with.” That’s sweet. Give life a few more years, love, and you’ll find out about commitments. ;-)

BRB!

johnnydoc Both! LOL

I wasn’t yelling. I was pouting. LOUDLY!

:-P

Stallion or gelding is what you were searching for Shika. A stallion is a male that hasn’t been altered and a gelding has been.

LOLcleo We both said the same thing.

What do you do at work Ladywolf?

cleo You read my mind again. I’d forgotten about geldings. What’s a nag? An old female horse. Or just any old horse?

And no funny jokes about wives! LOL

Birthing a horse… ewww, yucky yuck. That is one thing I can live without doing.

Hello Shika. Posts are happening so fast that you reply and the question has already been answered. Did you have, or do you have horses? I spent all my summers from birth to late teens at my grandfather’s farm in Alberta and we had horses. I spent every summer with my two cousins from Vancouver who became like sisters to me. One now lives in Silver Creek, BC and raised both of her daughters with horses, one English and one Western and my cousin still has a horse and rides every day. It was so cool spending my summers on a working farm.

Doc? YOU mad, are just archiving?

:-D

A nag is a horse that has it’s best days behind it.

Doc- That’s a chip off the ol’ block alright! ROFLOL!

Shika did you see the question I asked earlier? And pout all you want, I can’t afford (literally) to be a night owl these days.

:-P

back atcha.

cleo I did take riding lessons. But other than that, I just love natural science and I seem to remember all these things from school or just reading a lot.

I rode Arabian horses on a little farm near where we lived on Geogian Bay.

Doc that IS your boy, lol!

johnny* I got distracted by the foal. I go to U of * but I hope you don’t mind if I leave it at that. I’m spooked about who’s out there.

Not by you though! :-)

cleo - I thought it was so tactful that you call it “altering”. Castrating is the term I’m used to hearing with hogs & cattle. I’m not quite as familiar with horse terms as hogs & cattle. We had a couple Shetland ponies when I was a kid, but otherwise, we had hogs, cattle, a few sheep, a dog, and cat/kittens.

no worries, I don’t know what the * means, but that means neither do the spooks, so we don’t have to worry about it. :-)

johnnydoc Yes, I did see your post. did you just see my answer? I may delelte it, so tell me if you see the answer.

Thanks johnny. Your turn. Where are you in school? When you aren’t working.

:-P to you too! J-D!

RRAmom: I can think of lots of alternate terms for altered!

Did you ever read James Herriot’s books? I love reading about farm life. And doctors too. Dan Gibson comes to mind. He’s a Canadian humourist who wrote about his days as a doctor out west.

I go to U of M, the M is for Michigan. I don’t really care who sees it. I won’t be there much longer.

Hi, peoples… What it is? been popping in and out but getting much of a chance to say howdy. I left a short time ago and the Yappy Nutz added a whole page while I was out.

Shika do I get a different name with every post.

:-P

I don’t go to college yet! I have one year of high school left.

Hi Rad!

Up here M is something else. I just edited my post, but I guess it doesn’t matter since your post fills in the blank. LOL

I need to remember. Michigan is the state with lots of lakes, right?

johnny You’re studying medicine, but not to be a doctor just yet. Correct?

Johnnydoc, You keeping everybody in line here? you seem to be a very popular person.

I was at the college again today. I like that it is so quiet. Unlike during the winter.

My boss said that when my broken ankle heals.He would take me horseback riding.

Hi Rad! Take a number, LOL!

I think I’m number 171.

Nope, 173….

It’s not hard to post, just press the POST COMMENT button!

:-D

Enjoy it ladywolf, (we need a nickname for you) college changes everything. Shika, wow! You have a really good memory. A little weird, but I might have forgotten talking about that, but yes that is correct, and Michigan is the state with all the lakes, that too is correct. I have a couple of ideas as to what the M stands for up there, but I will keep them to myself.

Johnny Pick a name, any name. I’ll try to stick to it. I tend to be rather capricious with names here because I can’t remember from post to post what to type. LOL

Where is everyone else at? Watching tv or eating dinner maybe.

Yeah, Doctors and Tennis players are always most popular… I’ll just go sit in a corner.

Shika - I think I’ve read a James Herriot book. My folks both grew up on farms, and bought a 40 acre farm when I was a baby. It was about 25 miles from where we lived in the city, and we moved out to the farm when I was 13. I’m just not that much of a naturalist. I’d rather play with mechanical stuff. I’ve had plenty of experience with gardening & raising animals while growing up, but currently we have neither garden nor animal. We have had a few dogs & cats, so that our boys have had some experience with animals, but since our pets have died, we didn’t replace them. We’ll move at some point in the next few years, and with the boys getting old enough to leave soon (we hope!), we decided not to get any new pets. Maybe later, but that depends on where we live, and how much traveling we want to do. I don’t want to housebreak a dog, and my hubby can’t stand cats indoors, so all our pets have been garage/outdoors animals.

ladywolf - Horseback riding is fun. I like it because you can let your mind wander, thinking about whatever you want, enjoying the scenery and not having to pay attention to what your feet are doing. It is like going for a walk without having to do anything physical, except for occasionally reigning the horse to change directions.

Let me know when you guys come up with a nick name for me. (hope it’s something that I like).

johnny How nice that you think I have a good memory. Like the names I tyope here, my memory is capricious too. It comes and goes on a whim.

Doc I think playing doctor counts. some doctors like to play doctor too.

That’s what lawsuits are for. LOL

But you did mention it some days ago, weeks, maybe. I think I remembered because I’ve never heard of what you siad you are studting for. That is why I didn’t say what it was.

Rad. I said take a number- not take it and run. LOL

Quarter after six here got to hobble my way to the kitchen and get dinner started.( SYL ).

Ladywolf You’ll like riding horses.But don’t let one run back to the barn with you. I learned that lesson the hard way.

Capricious!!! I only go to Michigan! They don’t teach us things like that! Use smaller words, it is summer vacation, my brain got turned off months ago. LOL. Doc, no, that only gives you experience that I believe is not legal to teach at college. also LOL,

I don’t like horses, pretty much the same reason I don’t like bikes. I can’t steer either very well, and they are scary to me.

Radical-Kinight- don’t sit in the corner. Pull up a chair and join in.

See? I use different names for everyone here.

Who am I talking to now? LOL

We don’t have much landscaping work to do either. Shortly after we moved, we planted 100 lilac saplings, and probably 100 tree saplings. (Bought them from the KS forestry department - have to buy them in lots of 50.) We planted them along the property line with our neighbors to the south, to block the view to/from them. Now that they’ve grown, when the leaves are out, we can’t even see their place. Just in the winter, is the only time we can see their house, and it is too cold to spend much time outside then. Transplanted some irises and that is the extent of our landscaping. We try to keep the native grass/weeds mowed down enough to discourage snakes & other pests, but we don’t keep it nice & groomed like some of the neighbors. Everyone has some part of their property too wild to mow, and with dirt roads, there is a limit to how much “civilizing” a person can do. One couple built a house, and the hubby spent the whole weekend, each weekend, mowing, weed eating, etc. They got tired of the amount of time it took, sold it and moved to a house on a golf course.

Do you prefer johnny or johnnydoc?

Rad, Radical or Radical-Knight?

Doc, DocToon, or

TOOT! LOL

I’ll leave Ladywolf’s nickname up to the guys.

Shika who knows what you are doing! That is one of lifes little mysteries. :-P LOL. Rmom, neighbors house offensive in some way?

johnny & Shika - The first thing I thought of when you said a state starting with M, and having a lot of lakes was Minnesota. Aren’t they the state with the slogan “The land of a thousand lakes” or something like that? Michigan probably does have a lot of lakes, but I think about the fact that it is divided into two separate sections - Upper & Lower, and Lake Michigan is almost surrounded by the state.

RRAmom- I get tired just reading about what you guys have to do!

cleo It sounds like you really loved to ride. what kind of horses did you ride?

nicknames aren’t my thing, I just go with whatever is decided upon by the elders. Shika, in the case of my own name, I don’t really care what you call me, I will respond to all of those names.

johnny I am scared of bikes for some reason. Except in the country. But I did have a nasty flip on my bike coming home from horseback riding (how ironic is that). A famer brought me in and put pure Lysol on my knee,after digging out the chunk of gravel. Then I had to ride a few miles home on a bike with wonkey wheels missing some spokes. And it wasn’t even my bike!

My friend just laughed her head off- when she found out I was still alive anyways.

He doctor dad gave me a tetnus shot- my first.

making chicken and dumplings tonight with some rice, I hope dad likes it when he gets home. He’s a better cook than I am, but at lease I try, and he doesn’t complain.

So, 5. They don’t teach you capricious names or anything?

Shika - I rode a Morgan Quarter Horse on the farm. My cousin has and had Appaloosas, which I also rode. I have even ridden a Clydesdale work horse on the farm. That was a big back for a little boy to straddle.

Hey! That’s #5 to you missy! (whining) Nooo, they don’t, what does it mean? tell me tell me tell me!

johnny - The neighbor’s house is fine. It is just that we like looking at scenic countryside instead of neighbors. (And it was really disturbing when they’d sit outside and stare out our direction.) We had already started building our house, and that lot had been sold, but left vacant for years, then the owner sold it (without advertising) and our neighbors built their house immediately. So we had thought we’d have no near neighbors, and then suddenly we were wrong. The Mrs. was a real grouch, too - never a friendly smile or wave. Found out from the local hairdresser that NO one got along with that Mrs., so it wasn’t just our family.

O that sounds like a horrible incident, and exactly why I try to avoid bikes. And your friend doesn’t sound very nice to me. AH HAHA you almost died, that is hilarious! Sheesh!

number 5 johnny: Capricious (I love that word) means unpredictable and dependant on the whim of the gods. Or something ike that. in other words, you can’t tell what name i might call you at any given time.

and that’s MS. to you, MR johnnydoc5!

Jdoc lol you and shika crack me up.

im back for a little while almost time to go walk. lol

Cleo, shika, and Lady i love horses and i havent ridden in forever. its been over 8 years. :0( very sad.

lady if you dont mind me saying…. its not safe to say your home alone making dinner… you didnt comeout and say it, but its best not to give hints… there are crazy people in this world and you being 17 you need to be careful… i know who am i to talk im only 19 but still i have learnd a lot of things in my 19 years and i have had some experiences that i would wish on my worst enimie (sp) so i just ask yuo to be careful…

Ahh I see. Well, that certainly seems reasonable. I grew up on the edge of no where, which is why I had no problem with neighbors like that, because I couldn’t see most of them, and the one I could see was my Great grandmother.

I see the # sign did a number on my post. LOL

Ahh thank you MS. Shikamoo. I will have to add that to my repertoire. Hi Tabby!

Jdoc i knew that word. lol see Avanced Placement english did pay off. lol

shika im sorry you fell off your bike and got hurt. my bro was about 9 riding his bike and he likes to stand up and pettle so i tell him do not do that in the gravel you will fall. so what does he do? he does it in the gravel… guess what happened? he fell head first broke his tooth in half… and even better it was his “grown up tooth” as he called it. lol

johnny - Don’t feel bad. My engineer hubby has difficulty with the large vocabulary my sons & I have because we read more books than he does. I’ve decided he is incorrigible (in about every way) and he’s constantly baffled by the meaning. Although now I think he’s bluffing, because I’ve told him the meaning several times. He says I must be complimenting him. LOL!

All this talk about scenic countryside makes me miss Northern California. My mom and dad had a beautiful house in the forest surrounded by creeks ( where I learned how to swim) ponds where my dad went fishing and duck hunting, and a spring that was our drinking water.

Hi tabby We’re just yakking away, like the yappy nut we are.

cleo sounds like you did the splits on the Clydesdale. I felt like I was doing the splits on the Arabian horses. I’m not very tall now, and I was in my early teens then.

Well, good for you Tabby! Even though I was in AP English, it didn’t stick. MS.S, (hey I like that) Puns!!!, Groooooaaaaaaaaaann.

HI Jdoc!! Rmom, Shika, Lady, Cleo, Rad (hiding in the corner) and all who are still here

I’m not worried tabby but thanks for your concern I have a big huge dog named Fritz by my side.

johnny My friend is my best friend, but she did have a wicked sense of humour, and I don’t think it occured to her that someone was hurt.

I’m glad I wasn’t horseback riding with her and her sister the day her sister fell of her horse and broke her arm. Her sis tells me that my friend laughed and made her get back up to ride back to the barn.

Jdoc i took it my sr. year of high school now off to the big stuff. lol and we had went over that word bc my teacher told me to stop being Capricious. lol go figure.

Shika i see we are some yappy nuts tonight. im affraid to go on my walk bc i will be so far behind…. not going yet will let you know when i do. waiting on my best friend to call and tell me she is ready. lol

Okay, johnny and anyone else who is interested. I’ll rotate some pictures through on my avatar to show you what the view is like at my place. The current avatar is a sunset, so, looking west away from the house.

Were did everyone else go? Have we talked their ears off? LOL

Having fun here.

capricious, serendipidous, supercalafragalisticexpaladocious!

ladywolf, may i call you lady for now?

i just dont want anything to happen. but you say your safe so i will leave it alone.

Shika i have to ask its killing me… what happened when you roade the horse into the barn? lol

my spelling is worse tonight then normal … its the contacts(sp) i blame them

Need more of doc’s nuclear coffee, I feel the wackiness wearing off!

be back soon walk time

Geez, I take my son to football practice and you guys run up all these pages to catch up on!

And now you all have me dreaming about riding horses again!

Hello to All

Very nice, Rmom Shika, I have friends like that too. It is annoying at times, but they are nice guys. All I can say to your words is sssssssssuffering ssssssuckatash! That’s what I learned growing up.

Hey! my dad just pulled up, COOL! Guess I better go great him and check on dinner. ( BRB again).

Now that I’ve changed my avatar, it is the view from the road (out where our mailbox is at - didn’t want to show that since it has our name & address on it). That’s our driveway, and you can see the lilacs in bloom on the left (south). The neigbor’s property is just on the other side of that barbed wire fence behind the lilacs. (Taken April ‘07) Guess I’ll wait a day to change again, just so the rest of the tribe won’t be going “huh?”

Yes you may tabby .

Tabby- Don’t go! I didn’t mean to ignore you. :-(

Ladywolf: sounds like you had a nice home back then.

johnny what’s AP english?

RAD- Where are you? Did you go back to Facebook?

Doc TOOT!

Shika - AP stands for Advanced Placement.

I’ve seen a lot of people change their avatar, but I have no desire to change mine, I’ve grown quite fond of being a little yellow wolf.

Hi Terry hope his practice went well. That would also explain the football you were talking about earlier. Alrighty all, I think I’d best head to bed. I will catch you all on the flip side, Good night everyone and Peace & Love.

RRAmom

Very nice looking picture.

Good Night johnny

*Good Night Johnny! Adavanced Placement1 You were stringing me along. You know all the words we use here. No fair!

Have a good sleep. :-D

Th-th-that’s all, f-f-f-olks!

Thanks, Johnny & Lonewolf!

ladywolf - I have a “default” avatar of Jeremy’s mom (from Zits) to use when I don’t have another picture I want to use. I don’t think I could commit to finding a new one & posting each week like doc does. I used to use the avatars to identify people, and then when they changed them, it would confuse me. Now I don’t look at them too much, just the names, unless someone makes mention about them, or they are just incredibly eye-catching.

OK, I’m back - had to leave to take care of some RL business that required looking an internet search. Y’all moving to fast so I’m not reading the back posts.

Shika

How did I miss out on this biting thing? I missed something!

Hi Lonewolf!

Good night, johnny!

Rad - some days I miss out on whole pages, if my filter doesn’t like what someone said. I figure if I didn’t answer someone’s question, and they really want an answer, they’ll ask again later.

Lady Don’t change your avatar, it’s nice. Little yellow wolf.

Rad

Sometimes I read the pages and still miss out! lol

I skim the pages when there are this many and if nobody has made my name Bold so I can see it with these old-fart eyes, then I may just miss a comment and skim past it.

Rad - I’m the same way. Thankfully, I’m good at skimming, but having my handle boldfaced makes it much easier to not overlook something someone wants me to see.

Lonewolf You had to be there. LOL

I was refering to getting a tetenus shot today. It was a silly joke, but that’s typical for me.

anyone see Dry today? I miss her.

Hey RAD found us still yapping, did you?

I like where you live RRAmom. Nice country place. too bad about the people. lol

ACK!!!

I have a cordless optical mouse that is running low on battery power and keeps pooping out on me. I’ll need to sign off for tonight so it can Charge.

Shika - The Mrs. died recently. She wasn’t even 60, so we were surprised, and I guess it happened at work (which was a hospital). We just leave them alone, and everything’s fine. We’ll stop & talk with the neighbor on the other side, but the rest in the development we don’t even know anymore. We knew most of the original owners, but haven’t always gotten to know the subsequent neighbors.

I haven’t heard from Dry either, but she said this week was hit or miss so to speak.

Hi Dry!

Dry

I’m upset, you left me out. A few tears, a few sleepless nights, i guess I’ll get over it! lol

NO I WON’T!

Tabby to answer your question- I think I’ve told this before though:

I was riding my horse in the fields and suddenly she veered off and galloped through the trees. Pine trees. Christmas trees, to be exact.

turns out she sensed I was inexperienced and thought it was time to go home to end my lesson. I didn’t fall off, but it is no fun being slapped repeatedly by passing pine branches.

When I got back to the barn, my teacher berated me for letting Honeybee gallop home. I was supposed to be in control.

Of course, my friend was a natural on horseback, and wound up getting her own horse.

I stayed in town, LOL

Lonewolf - Dry left my name off, too, so you aren’t the only one.

(((((terry)))))

Dry- What gives? I say I miss you, and you come back and hug everyone but me! LOL

Is it my breath?

((((DRY)))) ((((RRAmom))) ((((Terry/Lonewolf)))) *(((((All the rest)))))))

*((((Shikamoo))))???

Shika - That makes 3 of us! Surely it isn’t MY breath - I’m eating a homemade chocolate chip cookie.

(((Shika)) (((Lonewolf))

Are you okay Dry?

Bye Rad. Hope you mouse feels better soon.

DRY?

RRAmom

I saw who she missed. I even put on my best cologne and two shots of shower in a can!

RRAMom, Terry, and Shika, and anyone else. I didn’t mean to offend anyone, this is something personal. I just stopped in to say hi for a minute.

I didn’t think I was gone THAT long, no wonder I can only skim in the mornings. I’m really tired, but at this rate will have 10 pages by then.

Thanks RRAmom. (((HUG)))) back atcha.

It’s pouring out now. No connection to the posts, just a weather update.

((((((((((RRAmom))))))))))

((((((((((Shika))))))))))

((((((((((Anybody else still out there))))))))))

Except the guys. That would be…………….

))))))))))The Guys((((((((((

Okay Dry. I think you’re saying you are having a rough time. I’ll keep quiet. You’ve known the others longer.

((((DRY))))

Take care of yourself, okay?

back form my walk.. it had only been 28 mins gone and look what you guys did. wow. lol

Akenta hello my dear.

dry love you

((((DRY)))))

((((((((((Akenta))))))))))

My name was left out but that’s ok I’m not mad.

Hi Akenta; Don’t even TRY to keep up. It’s hopeless. I think we all got too close to Doc’s coffee.

Speaking of which, or whom, where is Doc?

I shouldn’t have said I prefer Huggies a while back. LOL

((((((((((Dry))))))))))

Now I’m worried!

Biting, huggies, hmm,……..Now I know I missed something!

shika Dry will be okay. trust me… you all just missed something, but no need to worry. we are in on it lol.

to my dear friends she left out…. form the both of us.

(((Shika))) (((Lonewolf))) (((rmom))) (((lady)))

akenta not sure if she got you so here you go

(((akenta)))

I watched that show that was on Fox last night So You Think You Can Dance. Like the judges I too cried. It was so beautiful.

((((TRIBE))))

Sorry, I’m tired and just lazy now :-)

Akenta it is fine. we understand. lol

Akenta- Thanks for the Dancing link. It was you, wasn’t it? I cries. Really powerful and beautiful.

I think that’s what you are refering to Ladywolf.

Akenta - That is the safer way to do it. It would be hard to not leave someone out.

I think I’m going to sign off now. My eyes are feeling sleepy….

Tabby- I figured we were missing something. I’ve been away, so I don’t know when she told anyone else, but I respect her privacy.

thanks for the hug.

I think I’m starting to flag a little.

Lonewolf- go back and READ the posts to see what I’m refering to. Hint- blame it on Doc and Digital. thay messed me up as usual! LOL

You’re welcome for that link - they only showed a few seconds of it tonight, and I STILL got chills. I’m sure that’s why we’re going to see again and again (and might even win an Emmy)

Good night RRAmom

shkia glad i could help lol

Rmom night

I should watch it again to see who choreographed it and why. someone specific, or in general?

Chills up my spine, like you.

Good night RRAmom.

I’m getting ready for bed soon too.

How was your day Akenta. I know you’ll good night in a sec.

Night RRAmom

Shika

Why didn’t you say Doc had something to do with it? I can imagine now.

i wont be long till i go to bed either. it was a long day. lol tired and i wont be up all night either.

Terry Don’t let your imagination run away with you like Doc does. LOL

It’s all just good fun!

My days are busy too but for some reason, instead of getting tired I seemed to get more energy as the night goes on. Could that be caused by drinking doctortoon’s nuclear coffee. Just thought I’d ask.

Maybe we should wake doc up. I haven’t heard from him since page four, was it.

Never mind he’s awake.

shika my day was alrght. Off tomorrow, so felt like a Friday. Even though I can stay up later, my body won’t let me. I better call it a night.

Everyone, take care!!

I don’t work on fridays. Heck no work for me until monday.

doc did you sneak into the backdoor . I never saw you come in.

Have a good rest -er I mean sleep Akenta.

Ladywolf

I wish I had those “busy teenager days” again. Just for 24hrs though for memories and then right back here again knowing what I know now.

Doc is that why I practically flirted with an unseen Vulcan earlier. (I feel so ashamed, what would my mother say if she were still alive.)

Hey DocT

doc i forgot that you picked the place… where were we before this? i dont remember. being an elder here i can clame old age. lol

bleeep it! I feel like I’m about to cry, and I promised myself that I wouldn’t.

Tabby

Old age? It’s only been since the middle of last year or so. You make it sound like back when Windows 95 came out! lol

Sorry I meant to say dang it.

Excuse me while I go eat a bar of soap.

terry lol i knew you wold say something i was hoping someone would catch it. thanks

(Hic)! blowing bubbles now my mouth is zestfully clean.

doc i knew the winnie the pooh part but couldnt remember the rest. lol my brain is on sleep mode. i feel bad bc i dont to to wtp as much anymore.

lady i missed something can i ask why you are about to cry?

I feel warmed by all the hugs. Hugs back to all of you. Still have company so I kind of dance in and catch up then dance off to not seem like I am snubbing everyone.

((((((((HUGS))))))))

Sorry dad I know that I promised you that I would refrain myself from cussing. I didn’t know that D.A.R.N. was a bad word.

Geez! now I got to go wash my mouth out with soap again.

Can’t a girl get a break around here.

Ladywolf- It’s okay. You mentioned your mom. It still hurts.

Don’t worry about Dr. Spock. If he’s like most, he’s watching us, and he’ll know you didn’t mean it. That is, most people observe us for a while before joining. good idea!

Never thought that for a minute, Cleo

yes i think jdoc was there also. Akenta meet us here she smelt the food. and came to stay. lol

Hi Doc. No, tell us. What’s IS IT like when Sweety walks in? You forget all about us?

Boo-Hoo! :-D

Surprise! We know.

ladywolf

If d a r n is the worst, it’s all good. That I can accept!

lady sorry i missed that. also just forget about the spok (sp) thing and i dont take d a r n as a bad word the thing is just crazy.

shika your still here? what time is it there? im so bad at the time thing.

cleo have fun

Tabby you want to know why I was about to cry, I think that I dranked a little to much of doc’s nuclear coffee. because as near as i can remember, I think I flirted with Mr Spock, only he wasn’t there. so I feel ashamed of myself.

cleo Save a dance for me.

It may be “Me and my Shadow” though. I’m about to leave.

Okay. Wash dishes first. Check here. Then leave.

But I’ll say a tentative Good Night in case you all take the opportunity to log off and lose me. LOL

ladywolf

Stop……If anything was wrong, others would of told you. Geez!

TABBY It’s 11:35p.m. here. DST

8:30 P.M. on the west coast here. I’m eating dinner now .

I need a break. Maybe check out Fantasy BB. BBL

lady girl on here you end up talking to your self alot and the best part about it is yuo can make it funny like jfri does, and kill us all with laughter or you can do like you are doing and morn and sit and soak in it your poring salt in your own wonds. or you can just act like it never happened and move on. i suggest the 1st or the last one.. oh even better go back and delete it or edit it. lol it will be fine.

i got into trouble on her a while back and i had to just let it go and move on… and i am still her happy as can be and they still love me for me.

Then I’ll guess I’ll say to all of you tired people. You all have a good night and i’ll see you tomorrow ( I hope ).

Why won’t my body get tired. What is wrong with me?

lady it could be bc of your leg (?) you cant do as much so your body cant get tired…..

wow im so sounding older then i am tongiht… its so bc im and elder of the tribe.. doc stop making me feel old. lol

How long will it take me to be an elder.

bye doc…

lady wolf a diffrent elder like the one that just ran out the door again would be better at answere that. but we are the ones form the beging we have been together the longest.. if you see Drys comment where she is hugging people… those are the elders missing joy of coruse.

Guess I’ll let you go for the night tabby I know you need your rest.

i will see you all when the sun is up and the birds are singing. love you all my lovely TRIBE FAMILY

PEACE, LOVE, AND HUGS TO ALL

oh one last thing….

(((((((((((DRY)))))))))))

I LOVE YOU GIRL!

I am back. It is hard to post when you have company, because you do not want to be rude.

cleo I hear you.

I already know that my kid has informed everyone why we wont be at the computers next week.

wolfbyte - Hello. A certain member of your family has become a regular. I won’t say who. LOL

Wow did something die her in the big top. All quiet, I can hear myself think.

So what happened here, why is my kid acting strange.

Hmm! Just read something about my kid flirting with a vulcan.

I find that very disturbing.

Got to go have a talk with her.

wolfbyte - It is always disturbing to find a family member involved with an illegal alien.

Afraid I’m going to have to ground my kid. She will not be on tomorrow.

Okay, I am another lonely poster who looks forward to human interaction, which isn’t happening now. Oh, woe is me.
