Morning Terry and Marg and thanks for the breakie. I’ll have the leftover chocolate cake thanks - when it’s virtual I can pig out! And I’ll have Rakkav’s Coca mocha this evening. I’ll save the hi test for the morrow!
Good night Marg and Dawn!(((((Terry,))))) I’m going to take a quick toon tour. I’ll be back to say good night. Sorry you did not do so well at pool tonight.
It’s 5AM and my better half just ate all the ice cream in the house. Guess I’ll have cold cake for breakfast. My coffee pot broke following DOC’s instructions for nuc brew.
Hey, why’d she have me bring ice cream at 5AM?
Cindy can talk about the comic, can’t she.?
I have enough problems organizing RL, I don’t want to think about my dreams. Besides I doubt it that gizmo will really help me sleep.
Welcome, CindyKnight. You never know what you’ll read in these posts but it’s always good-natured & positive.
Please take a moment to remember those we’ve lost to & who are suffering from AIDS-related issues. World AIDS Day should not be necessary except to celebrate the erradication of the disease but we aren’t there yet. Thank you.
okay i am here and i am out. i am leaving my “little buddy” here today i only have one class and we dont need this in there.so i must go finish my last few things and head out. peace and love all have a great day.
good morning Tribe
finally got a chance to pop in again, and i’ll have to pop out to do my toon tour catch up. welcome to CindyKnight.
hope everyone is well but just in case…
It has gotten COLD here in Michigan, but is staying dry enough to limit any snow we’ve seen to just flurries. With all the clouds around though, I would expect that to change.
hi Terry and JDoc. we just went through our first November without any snow at all in over 70 years (according to news reports - i haven’t been on the planet that long, so i don’t have any first hand information).
yyyguy, that isn’t a bad thing, but if you enjoy snow as Doc does, then maybe it isn’t. The only “significant” snow I saw (it didn’t stay) came the night of Thanksgiving, and I had to drive my Aunt home through all the twisting and turning country rounds, worrying about drunks and deer. Then the snow came, and a minivan wasn’t my first choice to be flying down those roads in.
Good morning, Tribe, especially Terry, jdoc, yguy, & DocT!
We got the cold now, but the snow is to the north of us–in and near Canada.
Reminds me of the old geezer who always had a farm on the border in Canada, but when they resurveyed the area, they discovered he was actually in the US. They asked him what he thought about the error, and he replied, “I’m really glad. I don’t think I coulda lasted another one of those dern Canadian winters…”
Hi Yguy. I have a decal of your Canadian Flag on my desk at work under my clear plastic desk blotter along with many photos of my kids taken at Niagara on the Lake, Niagara Falls, Marineland, Port Dalhousie, St. Catharines, Kingston, and Gananoque. I loved Canada!
Good morning all. I just stopped in to see who was here. Looks like quite a crowd today.
Please Doc. I didn’t order any snow so why are you sending me some? We didn’t get too much but I didn’t want any. I’ll send it back to you.
Pack pack pack pack.
Hoist. Throw . INCOMING!!!!!!
Splat.
By the way Dry Thank you. Brett Favre was one of the clues in the crossword I was doing last night [slow night at work] If you didn’t ….um….casually mention his name in passing sometimes, I don’t think I would have gotten it.
Who says reading comics and gabbing with friends is not educational.
Good morning, tribe!Cleo - I hope the snow stops with Colorado & Doc! There is supposed to be a cold front moving in tonight, with the possibility of snow. But since the high for Wednesday is forecasted in the 40’s, I would say no significant accumulation is expected.
Dry & Terry - Thanks for the stroll through memory lane! It has been years since I’ve seen an animated Peanuts cartoon, and Snoopy is my favorite Peanuts character - especially when he’s flying the Soupwith (sp?) Camel.
I’ve got to make my rounds now, see you all later.
as i posted elsewhere, i like snow well enough but, former avatar photos to the contrary, those polar bear folks are nuts! since i’m only part polar bear, the best (craziest?) i’ve done is barefoot in the snow (several times).
Good Morning to TheRedHatt, yyyguy, bmonk, Dry, serena and Rmom.
I do not have any particular desire to run with a group of fools into freezing water. However I am more than happy to do a hot tub. Over Thanksgiving my wife and I had to inform her daughter, who invited friends over, that they would not be permitted to enter the hot tub with bathing suits on. When we were in Virginia she and her friends went for a swim in the lake then jumped into the tub. The filter became clogged with sediment and whatever from the swimsuits holding all that lake water. I had cleaned the tub just before we left, which normally lasts for four months, but had to drain and clean it again. Kind of funny telling your daughter to take clothes off instead of putting more on. LOL
yyyguy, I could and have taken a sauna, run through the snow and jumped into a hot tub. But, like you, I do not need to rub my self with snow. When you think of it though, it wouldn’t be as bad after a sauna because your body is storing extra heat. I have gotten out of the hot tub into very cold conditions and been fine. But once I cool off, entering the same cold conditions is much less tolerable.
Hello Everyone! Just doing a hit and run to check in. All is well. When I come back on later, I’ll bring my machetes. We may be needing them soon.
Have a good day you all!
home from school and all caught up on here. Carmy love you girl, do you need me to bring in any back up?
DOC on the news last night they said that we may get dare i say it? SNOW friday!!!!!! i hope so, yet with my luck ill miss it bc i have a final at 8am :o( no fun no fun no fun. lol
so it is
COLD
over here. raining and wind blowing and freezing. man i wore my borthers shoes today bc mine dont do water it just lets the water in and my feet freeze for 3 days after that. crazy.
so cool i have a temp thing at the top of my computer did not see that sooner. it is saying that it is 47 degrees outside. brrrr and raining i knew it was raining.
About 4 months, except for the last two minutes, which last another two months.
But that’s still better than the NHL season, which lasts so long because they have all those exhibition games before the real season begins in April-May.
bmonk: lately, my beloved leafs have only been able to play in “all those exhibition games” and don’t look to be doing any better this season.
just a thought. how can they call it a “season” when it generally lasts through at least two of them on the calendar?
i added one of my own to your comment on BB Tabby because i agree with you.
bmonk they keep 16 out of 30, so it isn’t as bad as it used to be. when i first started watching (back when the leafs actually won the cup regularly), 4 out of 6 made playoffs.
Rmom hot tub companies discourage bathing suits as they contain detergents and other elements that throw off the chemistry. So tell your hubby that nudity is how a hot tub is meant to be enjoyed. LOL
bmonk, You are on a roll today! Maybe you and DF should get together and go on a road tour! No that wouldn’t work, neither of you could be the straight man! *LOL!
hi SaucyTabby: yes, the “me three” one. and i bolded the “seen it before” part for a reason. do you want to borrow my shank? (though i don’t think comicsexpert is a troll.) looks like i’ll have to go back tonight to see what develops.
on that note, it’s past time for me to go. have a good day my friends (and others i don’t know well enough, yet).
Just getting started. Got up about 10am and was out on the road for my errands before 11am. I am finally approved and have a phenotype match for the anti-D (Rh- factor) program at the plasma center. Looks like I get injected tomorrow. Meantime I tried to do plasma today. The line clotted…..TWICE!!!! I have had problems since that guy went through my vein about a month ago. If I see him I’m gonna kill him. His ineptness is costing me $$$$ And yes, he was inept. I haven’t seen him around since…mebbe he sliced one too many and got canned.
calming down Anyway, I didn’t get back until almost 3pm. The only task I had for myself today was to get the stove and start on my desk. I can knock that out w/o too much sweat.
Anyway, peace and love, Tribe. I’m off to read comics.
Quaby - Please explain a little further. I’m O negative, and both my sons & my husband (their dad) are positive blood types. I had to get something to prevent their positive blood attacking my negative blood while I was pregnant. Is that the stuff you’re talking about? Maybe I missed some of your previous posts about your health problems, but I’m confused.
If the mother is Rh negative, and the baby Rh positive, there is a good chance that the mother will develop antibodies to the Rh factor. The current baby will not be affected, but future pregnancies could be at severe risk, as these antibodies will attack any future Rh positive babies as if the mother were allergic to her child. Hence, they test for this and give the mother treatment to avoid developing the antibodies. More info here.
bmonk - I was injected with something to prevent the antibodies from developing about 1/2 way through the pregnancies & immediately after each delivery. I’ve donated blood several times since then, and amazingly, they never ask about that sort of thing before I donate. (They ask a ton of health-related questions!) I wonder if that’s because it has been standard operating procedure for a long time in the U.S.?
Those who have been around know I am reticent about giving out any information about myself, paranoid about the web, etc, etc. I started doing the plasma thing last February after reading an ad in the paper. Being Rh- and having had an Rh+ child and knowing the risks of future children, I have one child. I wanted to help the babies. Then….as $$ became tighter and tighter I appreciated the income to help buy groceries.
Doing the plasma gig is more time consuming than donating whole blood every 56 days. They take about a cup or so of your blood, spin it down for the plasma, then reinfuse the blood cells. You keep doing this until you hit 880 ml (for someone of my weight). It takes me about 3.5 cycles to get the 880 ml. This can be done 2 times in 7 days. I take about 45 minutes because I drink lotsa liquid. Others can take an hour or more. The needle is in your vein the entire time. I often joke about having ‘numb-rear’ when I’m finally released from the apparatus (language is requested to be ‘clean’ so I don’t say numb-butt). This time does not count the waiting time to get screened and the screening. It can sometimes take up to 3 hours total. And for this I get $20 for the 1st time in the week, and $30 for the 2nd time.
Believe me, this gig does not pay good enough to count as any type of income, $200 a month if I’m cleared for every time (sometimes my heart’s too fast or my temperature a tad over the maximum). Even when I finally produce the anti-D and hit the $35 1st time/$50 2nd time the gig still does not pay enough time-wise. And I started this when the difference between plain plasma and anit-D was only $10, not the $35 extra it is now.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to ‘splain it better. Of course now my gig is up, I am a female, 50+, happily married to my currently unemployed husband and I have one son in his late 20’s.
i tried to do plasma one time, they couldnt do it because my vein burst. they informed me my veins were to small not to try it again or it could be bad.
thanks for explaning quaby now i understand better.
Thanks for the info, Quaby! So, if I understand correctly (please correct me if I’ve got it wrong) the stuff they injected into me to prevent the Rh antibodies is from the plasma people like you have sold/donated?
I’m sorry things are so tough economically right now, but I’m glad you are doing what you can to help both yourselves and others.
I understand about being careful about what you post on-line. I do try to make sure I don’t put anything that could identify me or my location too specifically.
Rmom Yes, once I get injected and the antibodies are produced I will be making the stuff you had injected to prevent the Rh. antibodies.
When I was a teenager I read a medical mystery, Reader’s Digest version, which was a malpractice case. The doctor was being blamed for not taking proper care of the child, etc, etc and that’s why the boy was braindamaged. It came out that the girl (she was young) had had an abortion a few years earlier, and that’s why she produced the antibodies for this pregnancy. At the time the book was written there was no anti-D. Each pregnancy had to be monitored carefully and blood be ready for immediate replacement/transfusion should the child be Rh+. The descriptions of the Rh babies was chilling.
When I had my boy anti-D was just coming out. I did not get any injections, etc. Fortunately he was my first pregnancy (no abortions, miscarriages, etc) so he was ok.
There is a lady who does her thing on the same days/time I do. She has been doing it for 29 years. I do not think anyone else had been doing it as long as she has, but I bet if there is someone, they’re female, Rh- and doing the anti-D. I certainly don’t relish the thought of doing this for years and years, but the babies need it. As long as I can do it, I will.
okay so im out the tub and now cooking supper we are having baked chicken with potatoes in it. yummy wish me luck oh and mac n cheees on the side with some greens.
Tabby I went for a bike ride, a cold bike ride. This is the first day this fall where it didn’t at least reach 40 degrees. Do your homework? You don’t want me anywhere near your homework kiddo.
Tabby Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
For those of you out there $$$ strapped, have you heard of/tried Angel Food Ministries? Just put it in the searchy engine (bing, google, whatever) and then put in your zip code. I’m checking it out. I have friends who have used this ministry to help stretch their food $$. The standard box is $30, and it has about $65 worth of stuff in it.
Cleo lol with this homework i dont think you could do worse then me trust me. and i just remembed my final in art class is friday. thank God tomorrow is a review because i have not looked at the info since class. so not good. i need to find my paper and see when all my finals are. had one monday made a c on it but i had an A in class so i should have at least a b.
oh the greens with supper will be green beans. may have a slad on the side for those without braces. may make a cake or something for dessert. idk yet.
Prayer always helps, Tabby. Sometimes the answer is no. I prayed for each job I interviewed for, and the answer was ‘No’ until my present company. We are weathering the recession ok as we downsized slowly and carefully over the last 3 years. So all those ‘No’s’ were really ‘Have patience, there is a better one coming’.
Quaby Angel Food Ministries, yes. Back in the day here, it was done by a local church, you paid about $30. and got a lot of stuff. I had to use it about 5 times in one year, A LONG TIME AGO, and it was a god send!
I see ads in our local paper here now for “Angel Food Ministries”, I guess it’s a national program, not sure, but conducted thru local churches. Try it once, if you’re not happy don’t use it again, but when I used their predecessor, I was very happy. They didn’t give frozen items or meats back then, but fresh fruit and veggies (and they were fresh), canned goods, dry goods, etc.
Thanks, Quaby! Because of others like you, I have two healthy sons. I’ve never participated in the Angel Food Ministry, but know people who have. It is a fine ministry. Our family is just so picky (both my hubby & I are, so…) that I was afraid we’d wouldn’t eat what we received. Thankfully, there has only been a few months in our 25 years of marriage when my husband didn’t have a job, and between gifts from his parents & our savings, we were able to survive. (We’ve been a one-income family for the last 20 years.)
This is the longest period of unemployment my husband has endured. He has rheumatoid arthritis in his ankles so standing hours upon hours in a retail position is not going to work.
We have decided to offer the possibility of up to 3% added to your final grade. Your assignment, should you decide to accept it, is to listen to “American as Pumpkin Pie: A History of Thanksgiving,” which can be found at http://www.backstoryradio.org/ After listing to the podcast, respond to the following. All answers should be 600 words and follow the formatting of the assigned papers in this class.
When did Thanksgiving start? In your answer, explain what is meant by “first” (Tradition? Repetition? Etc.) and describe the role Thanksgiving played in the mid-nineteenth century. Be specific and support your answers with historical examples from the program.
This is extra credit, and these will be graded, so if you decide to do it, keep in mind that nothing is guaranteed. A serious effort to address the issue must be demonstrated to receive any credit.
I got to go guys. Got to work on a necklace. Talk about getting paid for my time….you can invest 50-60 hours in a necklace and maybe get at the max, $125 for it. Oh well, $$ is $$
Quaby - My Dad had rheumatoid arthritis - mostly in his back, I think. I have had bursitis in my knees since I was in my 20’s, so I’ve probably inherited that tendency. I probably won’t do well with a job that requires a lot of standing, I’m allergic to anything that rubs on my skin - like footwear. I’ve got major rashes on my feet from wearing shoes a lot this weekend. They either hurt like a sunburn, or itch like crazy. Thankfully, my job skills are in areas where I wouldn’t have to stand all the time.
Bye, Quagby! I’m glad you’re trusting in His plan, rather than yours. I listened to Larry Burkett a lot during the first years we went to one income, and learned a lot about faith AND doing what we should with what we have to manage.
Tabby - I love history, but I just love reading it (either to myself or to my family). I’m not much for writing analytical essays about it. You probably ought to use the material your teacher gave to do your essay, but if you want additional information, go to Wallbuilders.com. You will find some very interesting history information there, and they have a lot of original historical documents to substantiate their information.
And these posts show why I like the Tribe so much.
A community -crazy, individualistic, and caring - who attract others just because they are what they are.
Thank you for existing, thanks for laughter and (snerks), for wild flights of imagination, your concern for those who need it, and sharing of information.
Tribal rules may nix politics and religion, but you dont need either to be a wonderful community.
food smells good about to eat with out dad. its calling my name saying Taaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbyyyyyyyyyyy you know you are hungry come get me and eat me. i smell so yummy you know you can’t wait another moment come get me i smell so goooooooood
Good evening, Doc!Tabby - Now you’re making me hungry! Guess that means I need to figure out what the boys & I are going to eat for supper, and start cooking.
Aargghh!
I just went to finally download the photos form our trip to Denver to meet the in-laws, and they’ve disappeared. Its the only pic I had of hubby’s dad and brother. There’s nothing in the camera except 4 shots from a couple of years ago.
okay going to go eat with out dad and write as i eat and hopefuly type it up when im done the answer 50 questions somehow and then study for art. wow. yea i should not have taken that nap today.
Doc
The good thing about the Christmas season is that you can find enormous coffee and soup cups out there - inexpensively - you just may have to get rid of the “gifts” packed into them That’s how I got my favorite cup I use all the time. I think it holds about 24 oz.
Terry I experienced the “Black Screen of Death** last week. I think it is all these updates I keep getting. Even though I click “cancel” They download them anyways.
BTW What’s anyone’s opinion of JAVA? They are trying to get me to download an update, Jave 7, but when I read the Licence agreement, I cancelled.
who the heck was the stupid person that came down to plymouth to set up a site to protect the flet form the spanishe empire in freeken 1665? ahhhhh i am NOT going to listen to it again. help
celecca sorry, even though I was a photographer, I never have totally gotten up to speed with digital. I would take it to a camera store and maybe someone there can help you, if the situation can be remedied. Good luck.
celecca - I’ve used digital for over a decade. Unless they are hidden in a different folder on the memory card, I don’t think you’ll find them. Although, those computer geeks that can retrieve deleted files off of hard drives, may know some tricks I’m not familar with myself. I know I think I’ve taken a picture, but if the batteries are low, sometimes it won’t save it to the memory card. But if you’ve seen in on the LCD screen after you’ve taken it, it should have been saved. If it was saved, it could have been accidently deleted before you copied them to your computer, if the right buttons got pushed somehow.
Tabby - Give me some hints - a Native American? British? They would be my two major people groups likely to do some thing like that. My guess would be the British, since I think they were the only ones other than the Spanish to be in the Western Hemisphere at that time. (Other than the Natives, of course.)
Tabby - Great! I was just looking in my son’s American History textbook, and it isn’t mentioned in there. We may have covered it, in our in-depth study, but that would have been a few years ago, and my memory isn’t THAT good. If I knew for sure we had covered it, my son would probably have remembered it. He has a great memory for all sorts of factoids. But he’s downstairs right now, playing with his older brother, so I didn’t ask him.
Oh man, what a day!
And I still haven’t finished my paper…
It appears that I am just missing everyone, but I have to finish up my paper, so I may or may not be back here tonight, if I’m not, peace and love all!
Pulling a Shika here…
Tabby - If you’re referring to reminding me about my history reading, it is just because we’ve been discussing history. I have so many different “irons in the fire” that I need reminders of any kind, to remind me of what I need to do. When you get to my age, you might start to understand. (When I was younger, my memory was MUCH better!)
well Tabby it is going such that I am heading off to dream land, hopefully! Was off 5 days and slept til 11. Went to work today and slept like 5 hours, go figure!
Tabby, shika & johnnyd you all make me proud to be a part of the Tribe. You work hard, you do your best and you have time for us as well. Keep up the good work. You make the rest of us look good.
though i am pretty sure we do what u just said, i am sure if i would not have been giving walking buddy a lesson on facebook and chatting here on and off and doing my essay all at one time i would have been done by now and in bed, but they i would have missed alot so who cares.:D
okay all im going print my essay on the other computer then im heading to bed to do the other things i need to do for homework. so i shall say good night now. peace and love alll
Well thank you Cleo, but if I wasn’t constantly distracted, I too would be on more and spend less time on work.
You should compliment everyone, though, you all do what you have to do, and then come on here to visit with us.
Oh well, today was a rough one, it was easy to be distracted. Say some prayers for my family, things aren’t going too well at home.
It is time for me to get to bed. Peace and love all!
Cleo, I agree with what you said about Tabby, Shika and Johnny! Keep up the good work you all!
I keep coming on here when most of you have gone off to bed. Goodnight Shika, Dry, Tabby and Johnny, Rmom, Mopar and whoever I may have missed!Johnny, I will pray for you and your family.
Did Terry go sleepers too?
JFri where are you bro. I have a bottle of Booker’s that seems so lonely without you. I have also stenciled your name on a snifter in the bourbon hall of fame.
Should I dust the bottle off. Sheesh without you JFri Booker’s just isn’t the same. It is like having sex without….oh heck, forget the attempt at comparisons. Two fingers in a snifter are on their way buddy.

It has gotten COLD here in Michigan, but is staying dry enough to limit any snow we’ve seen to just flurries. With all the clouds around though, I would expect that to change.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Thank you Cleo
Good Morning RedHatt & Yguy, good to see y’all this morning!
yyyguy almost 15 years ago
hi Terry and JDoc. we just went through our first November without any snow at all in over 70 years (according to news reports - i haven’t been on the planet that long, so i don’t have any first hand information).
yyyguy almost 15 years ago
hi DocT (we seem to have cross typed)
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Doc, I want to join the Polar Bear Club!
johnnydoc5 almost 15 years ago
yyyguy, that isn’t a bad thing, but if you enjoy snow as Doc does, then maybe it isn’t. The only “significant” snow I saw (it didn’t stay) came the night of Thanksgiving, and I had to drive my Aunt home through all the twisting and turning country rounds, worrying about drunks and deer. Then the snow came, and a minivan wasn’t my first choice to be flying down those roads in.

Terry, you are crazy!

Good morning, Tribe, especially Terry, jdoc, yguy, & DocT!
We got the cold now, but the snow is to the north of us–in and near Canada.
Reminds me of the old geezer who always had a farm on the border in Canada, but when they resurveyed the area, they discovered he was actually in the US. They asked him what he thought about the error, and he replied, “I’m really glad. I don’t think I coulda lasted another one of those dern Canadian winters…”
johnnydoc5 almost 15 years ago
Good morning bmonk! It really does make a difference in the nationality of the winter doesn’t it?
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Hi Yguy. I have a decal of your Canadian Flag on my desk at work under my clear plastic desk blotter along with many photos of my kids taken at Niagara on the Lake, Niagara Falls, Marineland, Port Dalhousie, St. Catharines, Kingston, and Gananoque. I loved Canada!

hI johnny, Terry and bmonk, and Doc!
Nice one Terry, the one I had was the cartoon of Snoopy on his dog house flying and shooting down the Red Baron.
serenasakitty almost 15 years ago
Good morning all. I just stopped in to see who was here. Looks like quite a crowd today.
Please Doc. I didn’t order any snow so why are you sending me some? We didn’t get too much but I didn’t want any. I’ll send it back to you.
Pack pack pack pack.
Hoist. Throw . INCOMING!!!!!!
Splat.
By the way Dry Thank you. Brett Favre was one of the clues in the crossword I was doing last night [slow night at work] If you didn’t ….um….casually mention his name in passing sometimes, I don’t think I would have gotten it.

Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Good morning, tribe! Cleo - I hope the snow stops with Colorado & Doc! There is supposed to be a cold front moving in tonight, with the possibility of snow. But since the high for Wednesday is forecasted in the 40’s, I would say no significant accumulation is expected. Dry & Terry - Thanks for the stroll through memory lane! It has been years since I’ve seen an animated Peanuts cartoon, and Snoopy is my favorite Peanuts character - especially when he’s flying the Soupwith (sp?) Camel. I’ve got to make my rounds now, see you all later.
yyyguy almost 15 years ago
as i posted elsewhere, i like snow well enough but, former avatar photos to the contrary, those polar bear folks are nuts! since i’m only part polar bear, the best (craziest?) i’ve done is barefoot in the snow (several times).

@yguy, you could always sauna authentically–like sit in the steam and marinate, then run out and roll in the snow. Naked.
I’m sure cleo would approve.
cleokaya almost 15 years ago
Good Morning to TheRedHatt, yyyguy, bmonk, Dry, serena and Rmom.
I do not have any particular desire to run with a group of fools into freezing water. However I am more than happy to do a hot tub. Over Thanksgiving my wife and I had to inform her daughter, who invited friends over, that they would not be permitted to enter the hot tub with bathing suits on. When we were in Virginia she and her friends went for a swim in the lake then jumped into the tub. The filter became clogged with sediment and whatever from the swimsuits holding all that lake water. I had cleaned the tub just before we left, which normally lasts for four months, but had to drain and clean it again. Kind of funny telling your daughter to take clothes off instead of putting more on. LOL
yyyguy almost 15 years ago
bmonk, even cleo might not approve of this body rolling around in the snow, naked. i know I wouldn’t!
cleokaya almost 15 years ago
yyyguy, I could and have taken a sauna, run through the snow and jumped into a hot tub. But, like you, I do not need to rub my self with snow. When you think of it though, it wouldn’t be as bad after a sauna because your body is storing extra heat. I have gotten out of the hot tub into very cold conditions and been fine. But once I cool off, entering the same cold conditions is much less tolerable.
yyyguy almost 15 years ago
i just don’t do public nudity. (i’m a bit of a shy yyyguy.)
cleokaya almost 15 years ago
Doc for shame. LOL If you can’t hold in the laughter than just keep telling jokes. :-)

“HOW LONG DOES FOOTBALL SEASON LAST?
“Just asking.”
About 4 months, except for the last two minutes, which last another two months.
But that’s still better than the NHL season, which lasts so long because they have all those exhibition games before the real season begins in April-May.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Bmonk, Same with the NBA and all of their pre-season games!
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
so the comicsexpert is make noise on bb. and Rmom just gave me a good laugh on bb as well.
yyyguy almost 15 years ago
bmonk: lately, my beloved leafs have only been able to play in “all those exhibition games” and don’t look to be doing any better this season. just a thought. how can they call it a “season” when it generally lasts through at least two of them on the calendar?
bmonk almost 15 years ago
@yguy, still, they only eliminate, what, about a third of the teams from the playoffs?
Maybe sports leagues get a special deal on longer seasons–you know, 40% extra for free!

Okay so i may have opend a can of worms at birdbrains but the stupid “dude” was ticking me off. :o)

Cleo - LOL! My hubby would like that hot tub rule.
Tabby - Thanks!
yyyguy almost 15 years ago
i added one of my own to your comment on BB Tabby because i agree with you. bmonk they keep 16 out of 30, so it isn’t as bad as it used to be. when i first started watching (back when the leafs actually won the cup regularly), 4 out of 6 made playoffs.
cleokaya almost 15 years ago
Tabby Good Morning.
Rmom hot tub companies discourage bathing suits as they contain detergents and other elements that throw off the chemistry. So tell your hubby that nudity is how a hot tub is meant to be enjoyed. LOL
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
Check out today’s Citizen Dog funny.
doc yea u see that also. night sleep good.

Good afternoon Tribe ((((((((TRIBE)))))))
Just getting started. Got up about 10am and was out on the road for my errands before 11am. I am finally approved and have a phenotype match for the anti-D (Rh- factor) program at the plasma center. Looks like I get injected tomorrow. Meantime I tried to do plasma today. The line clotted…..TWICE!!!! I have had problems since that guy went through my vein about a month ago. If I see him I’m gonna kill him. His ineptness is costing me $$$$ And yes, he was inept. I haven’t seen him around since…mebbe he sliced one too many and got canned.
calming down Anyway, I didn’t get back until almost 3pm. The only task I had for myself today was to get the stove and start on my desk. I can knock that out w/o too much sweat.
Anyway, peace and love, Tribe. I’m off to read comics.
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Quaby - Please explain a little further. I’m O negative, and both my sons & my husband (their dad) are positive blood types. I had to get something to prevent their positive blood attacking my negative blood while I was pregnant. Is that the stuff you’re talking about? Maybe I missed some of your previous posts about your health problems, but I’m confused.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
quab i am confused as well, whats going on? i have O +
bmonk almost 15 years ago
If the mother is Rh negative, and the baby Rh positive, there is a good chance that the mother will develop antibodies to the Rh factor. The current baby will not be affected, but future pregnancies could be at severe risk, as these antibodies will attack any future Rh positive babies as if the mother were allergic to her child. Hence, they test for this and give the mother treatment to avoid developing the antibodies. More info here.

Hello JFri
Good to see you man!
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
bmonk - I was injected with something to prevent the antibodies from developing about 1/2 way through the pregnancies & immediately after each delivery. I’ve donated blood several times since then, and amazingly, they never ask about that sort of thing before I donate. (They ask a ton of health-related questions!) I wonder if that’s because it has been standard operating procedure for a long time in the U.S.?
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
wow i didnt relize that your body would attack the baby. intresting.
rmom they do ask some crazy questions when they are taking your bload
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
anybody want to do my hw for me? im to tired.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
so where did u all go?
Quabaculta almost 15 years ago
Sorry Tribe didn’t mean to confuse you.
Those who have been around know I am reticent about giving out any information about myself, paranoid about the web, etc, etc. I started doing the plasma thing last February after reading an ad in the paper. Being Rh- and having had an Rh+ child and knowing the risks of future children, I have one child. I wanted to help the babies. Then….as $$ became tighter and tighter I appreciated the income to help buy groceries.
Doing the plasma gig is more time consuming than donating whole blood every 56 days. They take about a cup or so of your blood, spin it down for the plasma, then reinfuse the blood cells. You keep doing this until you hit 880 ml (for someone of my weight). It takes me about 3.5 cycles to get the 880 ml. This can be done 2 times in 7 days. I take about 45 minutes because I drink lotsa liquid. Others can take an hour or more. The needle is in your vein the entire time. I often joke about having ‘numb-rear’ when I’m finally released from the apparatus (language is requested to be ‘clean’ so I don’t say numb-butt). This time does not count the waiting time to get screened and the screening. It can sometimes take up to 3 hours total. And for this I get $20 for the 1st time in the week, and $30 for the 2nd time.
Believe me, this gig does not pay good enough to count as any type of income, $200 a month if I’m cleared for every time (sometimes my heart’s too fast or my temperature a tad over the maximum). Even when I finally produce the anti-D and hit the $35 1st time/$50 2nd time the gig still does not pay enough time-wise. And I started this when the difference between plain plasma and anit-D was only $10, not the $35 extra it is now.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to ‘splain it better. Of course now my gig is up, I am a female, 50+, happily married to my currently unemployed husband and I have one son in his late 20’s.
Okay, back to the fun!
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
(((((((((((quaby))))))))) wow
i tried to do plasma one time, they couldnt do it because my vein burst. they informed me my veins were to small not to try it again or it could be bad.
thanks for explaning quaby now i understand better.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
going get cleaned up. bbl
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Thanks for the info, Quaby! So, if I understand correctly (please correct me if I’ve got it wrong) the stuff they injected into me to prevent the Rh antibodies is from the plasma people like you have sold/donated? I’m sorry things are so tough economically right now, but I’m glad you are doing what you can to help both yourselves and others. I understand about being careful about what you post on-line. I do try to make sure I don’t put anything that could identify me or my location too specifically.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Quaby, I did not realize there was so much involved to give plasma for $$. Quite a process. Thanks for the explanation.
Quabaculta almost 15 years ago
Rmom Yes, once I get injected and the antibodies are produced I will be making the stuff you had injected to prevent the Rh. antibodies.
When I was a teenager I read a medical mystery, Reader’s Digest version, which was a malpractice case. The doctor was being blamed for not taking proper care of the child, etc, etc and that’s why the boy was braindamaged. It came out that the girl (she was young) had had an abortion a few years earlier, and that’s why she produced the antibodies for this pregnancy. At the time the book was written there was no anti-D. Each pregnancy had to be monitored carefully and blood be ready for immediate replacement/transfusion should the child be Rh+. The descriptions of the Rh babies was chilling.
When I had my boy anti-D was just coming out. I did not get any injections, etc. Fortunately he was my first pregnancy (no abortions, miscarriages, etc) so he was ok.
There is a lady who does her thing on the same days/time I do. She has been doing it for 29 years. I do not think anyone else had been doing it as long as she has, but I bet if there is someone, they’re female, Rh- and doing the anti-D. I certainly don’t relish the thought of doing this for years and years, but the babies need it. As long as I can do it, I will.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
Quaby you are a great person to be doing that. wow thank you for doing that. i am sure u dont get told that so i will tell you.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago

Quabaculta almost 15 years ago
Tabby Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
For those of you out there $$$ strapped, have you heard of/tried Angel Food Ministries? Just put it in the searchy engine (bing, google, whatever) and then put in your zip code. I’m checking it out. I have friends who have used this ministry to help stretch their food $$. The standard box is $30, and it has about $65 worth of stuff in it.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
Cleo lol with this homework i dont think you could do worse then me trust me. and i just remembed my final in art class is friday. thank God tomorrow is a review because i have not looked at the info since class. so not good. i need to find my paper and see when all my finals are. had one monday made a c on it but i had an A in class so i should have at least a b.
oh the greens with supper will be green beans. may have a slad on the side for those without braces. may make a cake or something for dessert. idk yet.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
Quaby I have heard of them. from what i understand its good food also. good luck. i wish there was more i could do. but you shall be in my prayers.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
hello did u all run off? come out come out come out.
Quabaculta almost 15 years ago
Prayer always helps, Tabby. Sometimes the answer is no. I prayed for each job I interviewed for, and the answer was ‘No’ until my present company. We are weathering the recession ok as we downsized slowly and carefully over the last 3 years. So all those ‘No’s’ were really ‘Have patience, there is a better one coming’.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
Quaby you are right, and see we learn to waite because there is a plan. your yes may not be the right yes it is a Higher yes that matters.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Quaby Angel Food Ministries, yes. Back in the day here, it was done by a local church, you paid about $30. and got a lot of stuff. I had to use it about 5 times in one year, A LONG TIME AGO, and it was a god send! I see ads in our local paper here now for “Angel Food Ministries”, I guess it’s a national program, not sure, but conducted thru local churches. Try it once, if you’re not happy don’t use it again, but when I used their predecessor, I was very happy. They didn’t give frozen items or meats back then, but fresh fruit and veggies (and they were fresh), canned goods, dry goods, etc.
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Thanks, Quaby! Because of others like you, I have two healthy sons. I’ve never participated in the Angel Food Ministry, but know people who have. It is a fine ministry. Our family is just so picky (both my hubby & I are, so…) that I was afraid we’d wouldn’t eat what we received. Thankfully, there has only been a few months in our 25 years of marriage when my husband didn’t have a job, and between gifts from his parents & our savings, we were able to survive. (We’ve been a one-income family for the last 20 years.)

so this is what……….:
Dear Class,
We have decided to offer the possibility of up to 3% added to your final grade. Your assignment, should you decide to accept it, is to listen to “American as Pumpkin Pie: A History of Thanksgiving,” which can be found at http://www.backstoryradio.org/ After listing to the podcast, respond to the following. All answers should be 600 words and follow the formatting of the assigned papers in this class.
When did Thanksgiving start? In your answer, explain what is meant by “first” (Tradition? Repetition? Etc.) and describe the role Thanksgiving played in the mid-nineteenth century. Be specific and support your answers with historical examples from the program.
This is extra credit, and these will be graded, so if you decide to do it, keep in mind that nothing is guaranteed. A serious effort to address the issue must be demonstrated to receive any credit.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Whoa, Tabby memories of my school days.
I got to go guys. Got to work on a necklace. Talk about getting paid for my time….you can invest 50-60 hours in a necklace and maybe get at the max, $125 for it. Oh well, $$ is $$
See you tomorrow, Tribe
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
BYE Quaby have fun. see you latter.
yea school yuck.
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Quaby - My Dad had rheumatoid arthritis - mostly in his back, I think. I have had bursitis in my knees since I was in my 20’s, so I’ve probably inherited that tendency. I probably won’t do well with a job that requires a lot of standing, I’m allergic to anything that rubs on my skin - like footwear. I’ve got major rashes on my feet from wearing shoes a lot this weekend. They either hurt like a sunburn, or itch like crazy. Thankfully, my job skills are in areas where I wouldn’t have to stand all the time.
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Bye, Quagby! I’m glad you’re trusting in His plan, rather than yours. I listened to Larry Burkett a lot during the first years we went to one income, and learned a lot about faith AND doing what we should with what we have to manage.

DOC WHY ARE YOU WAKING UP SLOWLY? DOES IT HELP IF I YELL LIKE THIS? WILL IT MAKE YOU WAKE UP FASTER?
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Tabby - I love history, but I just love reading it (either to myself or to my family). I’m not much for writing analytical essays about it. You probably ought to use the material your teacher gave to do your essay, but if you want additional information, go to Wallbuilders.com. You will find some very interesting history information there, and they have a lot of original historical documents to substantiate their information.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago

A community -crazy, individualistic, and caring - who attract others just because they are what they are.
Thank you for existing, thanks for laughter and (snerks), for wild flights of imagination, your concern for those who need it, and sharing of information.
Tribal rules may nix politics and religion, but you dont need either to be a wonderful community.

Aargghh! I just went to finally download the photos form our trip to Denver to meet the in-laws, and they’ve disappeared. Its the only pic I had of hubby’s dad and brother. There’s nothing in the camera except 4 shots from a couple of years ago.
Any hints?

Hello Celecca

Doc The good thing about the Christmas season is that you can find enormous coffee and soup cups out there - inexpensively - you just may have to get rid of the “gifts” packed into them That’s how I got my favorite cup I use all the time. I think it holds about 24 oz.

Shikamoo Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Tabby Did you dis the Sex Pert at BB? For shame.
I have to go read it now.
I’m on page three, if you are wondering why I am not answering to you right now.
Shikamoo Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Terry I experienced the “Black Screen of Death** last week. I think it is all these updates I keep getting. Even though I click “cancel” They download them anyways.
BTW What’s anyone’s opinion of JAVA? They are trying to get me to download an update, Jave 7, but when I read the Licence agreement, I cancelled.
Shikamoo Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Well, I finally caught up, and everyone is gone!
Now I have to do my dishes and go back to check my emails, if I have any more.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Shika-Java allows you to read more “computer” language on you system. It is safe.
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
I’m in & out tonight, Shika. I’ll probably head off to bed in a little bit, but not quite yet.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago

tabbylynn almost 15 years ago

cleokaya almost 15 years ago
celecca sorry, even though I was a photographer, I never have totally gotten up to speed with digital. I would take it to a camera store and maybe someone there can help you, if the situation can be remedied. Good luck.
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
ha ha i am smart. i figured out how to say it without saying the name bc i dont know the name.
terry come back
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
celecca - I’ve used digital for over a decade. Unless they are hidden in a different folder on the memory card, I don’t think you’ll find them. Although, those computer geeks that can retrieve deleted files off of hard drives, may know some tricks I’m not familar with myself. I know I think I’ve taken a picture, but if the batteries are low, sometimes it won’t save it to the memory card. But if you’ve seen in on the LCD screen after you’ve taken it, it should have been saved. If it was saved, it could have been accidently deleted before you copied them to your computer, if the right buttons got pushed somehow.
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Tabby - Give me some hints - a Native American? British? They would be my two major people groups likely to do some thing like that. My guess would be the British, since I think they were the only ones other than the Spanish to be in the Western Hemisphere at that time. (Other than the Natives, of course.)
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
Rmom no need to worry i got it. thanks.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Tabby YOU ROCK GIRL! ;-D
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Tabby - Great! I was just looking in my son’s American History textbook, and it isn’t mentioned in there. We may have covered it, in our in-depth study, but that would have been a few years ago, and my memory isn’t THAT good. If I knew for sure we had covered it, my son would probably have remembered it. He has a great memory for all sorts of factoids. But he’s downstairs right now, playing with his older brother, so I didn’t ask him.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Terry I love that song, Baby Come Back!
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
I’ve got to sign off for the night. Thanks to Tabby, I’m reminded that I’ve got some history reading of my own to do. (Erie Canal - 1800’s)
Shikamoo Premium Member almost 15 years ago
I came back to say Good Night. Sorry guys, but it’s been a long day and a frustrating one for me. I’m beat.
Peas and carrots. whatever.
I can’t even check mail- forget my password. AGH!
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
Dry what did i do?
Shika night.
johnnydoc5 almost 15 years ago
Oh man, what a day! And I still haven’t finished my paper… It appears that I am just missing everyone, but I have to finish up my paper, so I may or may not be back here tonight, if I’m not, peace and love all!
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Pulling a Shika here… Tabby - If you’re referring to reminding me about my history reading, it is just because we’ve been discussing history. I have so many different “irons in the fire” that I need reminders of any kind, to remind me of what I need to do. When you get to my age, you might start to understand. (When I was younger, my memory was MUCH better!)
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
You missed this one Terry, it was the next up after Baby Come Back! LOL!

tabbylynn almost 15 years ago

tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
though i am pretty sure we do what u just said, i am sure if i would not have been giving walking buddy a lesson on facebook and chatting here on and off and doing my essay all at one time i would have been done by now and in bed, but they i would have missed alot so who cares.:D
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
okay all im going print my essay on the other computer then im heading to bed to do the other things i need to do for homework. so i shall say good night now. peace and love alll
johnnydoc5 almost 15 years ago
Well thank you Cleo, but if I wasn’t constantly distracted, I too would be on more and spend less time on work. You should compliment everyone, though, you all do what you have to do, and then come on here to visit with us. Oh well, today was a rough one, it was easy to be distracted. Say some prayers for my family, things aren’t going too well at home. It is time for me to get to bed. Peace and love all!
tabbylynn almost 15 years ago
okay jdoc said it right you all rock.
now im going to bed. jdoc prayers to you
carmy almost 15 years ago
Cleo, I agree with what you said about Tabby, Shika and Johnny! Keep up the good work you all! I keep coming on here when most of you have gone off to bed. Goodnight Shika, Dry, Tabby and Johnny, Rmom, Mopar and whoever I may have missed! Johnny, I will pray for you and your family. Did Terry go sleepers too?
cleokaya almost 15 years ago
JFri where are you bro. I have a bottle of Booker’s that seems so lonely without you. I have also stenciled your name on a snifter in the bourbon hall of fame.
carmy almost 15 years ago
Aw Cleo! Your such a good pal to do that for JFri!
The Duke 1 almost 15 years ago
BOOKERS?????
cleokaya almost 15 years ago
Should I dust the bottle off. Sheesh without you JFri Booker’s just isn’t the same. It is like having sex without….oh heck, forget the attempt at comparisons. Two fingers in a snifter are on their way buddy.
cleokaya almost 15 years ago
Carmy my dear, how are you my little sweetie?
carmy almost 15 years ago
Cleo, I am doing okay. I had a bit of a busy day in RL, but thankfully it started winding down after dinner. I’ve been relaxing since then.
cleokaya almost 15 years ago
Glad to hear it sweetie. Carmy would you like me to take care of life’s little disagreements. I have a degree in annoyance removal.
carmy almost 15 years ago
That would be great, Cleo!
cleokaya almost 15 years ago
Poof, bang they are gone. *Carmy * life is back to normal.
