Good Morning Dry

Just coffee this morning. Thank you.

Wink, if you were in the wild, try to live off the fruits and berries!

GOOD MORNING ALL!

Dry thanks for breakfast! i will get some in the morning. about to try to get “silly goose” to go to bed.

Good Morning Marg & Carmy

i almost told myself good morning. LOL

Good morning Tabby. Yes I saw the last posts.

#1. Cross posts don’t account for 30 minutes. #2. The last post doesn’t make any sense.

All things considered, I have tried to be cordial with my greetings. It gets tiring after a while.

Two greetings 15 minutes apart makes sense to me.

And for this toon… they just taste funny.

Good! You’ve said it and I won’t address you again if you don’t want! Simple. One down.

HIJFRI, DRY, CARMY, TABBY, and TERRY!

Dry, eggs over easy are fine with me. I only said basted eggs because yyyguy didn’t know how to flip them over.

Wow, you posted towards me. I’m amazed!!!!

Sorry, Dry, but I have been nice to Mr Moody for days!

tabby, I have never tried to “rule” this or any of these sites. Don’t try it!

**Marg, no chocolate pudding? I was saving a spoon for you!!

I was nice with apologies but I didn’t give in to his “elder” rules and he doesn’t like it! Too bad. I’m not into seniority and never have been. You should have left it alone JFri.

This is a comic site, Tabby! Hello! Go where?

JFRI Yum, chocolate pudding, I’ll take that spoon!

Marg can i have a bite?

These are not going anywhere. And everyone sees all the poster’s comments. Yours too!

Also, I removed that ONE out of respect.

Marg, here you go! Catch!

JFri, I understood through emails where you were coming from. I told you I didn’t back him and you don’t listen! I sent you an apology, but you didn’t accept it!

Dry, you’re not understandingwhat I am explaining.

I never said that Dry. What are you insinuating? I also have not “come down” on a 19 year old. She posted and I replied.

Dry–See, there she goes again! I can’t reply?

Tabby, that’s baloney!

I didn’t say that! Don’t put words in my mouth!

I said I am. Does that have anything to do with you. I am a Christian and am forgiving! What’s that got to do with anybody else?

I haven’t removed any comments Dry.

Oh, I can’t take things towards me certain ways but you can interpret posts any way YOU like!

Again, Tabby, read my previous posts. Nothing was directed at you!

Then JFri, You have a problem! I have no reason to tell you any different other than what I feel and think. You are not that important that I would need to lie!

Excuse me for not seeing what others did. I must be human, sir!

I said I am a true Christian. Does that mean that anybody else is not?

You haven’t figured anything out. There is nothing wrong with me other than I am not a Tribe “elder’ and I don’t have the same input and can’t open my mouth as the rest of you can. Nobody ever gave me problems until I opened my mouth. Then I was told how the “elders” have the right to say certain things. Problem is this is a public site and owned by posters!

Once again, JFri, you’re wrong.

Well then, Terry, since I am no big deal to you why are you getting so bent out of shape if I choose not to greet you every time. I don’t say “hi” back to **DocT all the time, either.

I like people at the Big Top. I like people in the Tribe. I don’t need to “break up the Tribe”. I like this place.

That’s actually laughable, JFri! LOL

Terry, NO ONE said you don’t have the right to say whatever you want, but don’t get mad if I disagree with you and call you on it. Don’t like what i say…..don’t read it!

Tabby, I am an elder in life, period. Nothing you can do or say can ever take that away from me. I don’t need to be downgraded on a comic site. I have earned what you are headed towards in life.

Terry, get a clue! Elders is only a term describing those of us who got this whole thing started, all quite by accident. No one has EVER claimed a Tribe elder has any more say or “power” than anyone else……just you!!

What is truly laughable is they way you stalk this site practically 24/7.

JFri, I sent you an email explaining what my thoughts and feeling were. You couldn’t find it in you to accept those thought s and feeelings. I did the best I could. I’m sorry I don’t fit your clique!

JFri, yes you have said that an “elder” has more say. More than once!

JFri–Stalk this site? Show me where I can’t be here when I want.

My problems are my own, Dry. Where did that come from?

Things change. If I’m doing something else and it changes, so be it. That doesn’t change what you are doing. I can do what I want.

You have no clue what goes on in my life. Don’t even attempt to analyze it. You don’t know me.

JFri, YOU HAVE said that I need to respect the “elders” and I should have kept out of the incident between Dry & Mopar. Where does it say on Gocomics that I can’t comment at other posts?

I answered all of the questions asked. You didn’t like the answers!

The “victim” part is YOUR interpretation, JFri. I’m not a victim. I am a member of Gocomics.

If I acted as if I was “going” after Tabby, I apologize. That was NEVER my intention. EVER. She also says quite a bit herself. Just replying to those posts! I do have that right.

Which questions JFri? ASK

Read my previous post on that please, Tabby. I’m not retyping it.

Nope, I did not “go after” anyone with that. I stated how I am. What is wrong with that?

Dry, Again, you don’t know me. And that interpretation is not correct.

Funny, I never know which one is questioning me next. Each time I need to wait and see who it is.

Now all three of you have mentioned my son, James. It’s a trifecta!

One more time! I didn’t go after Tabby! Quit using that as an out!

Where’s those questions, JFri?

One of you deleted a post?

Edit: This should have been 102.

Night dry i wont be long behind. i have to teach in the moring and i need to get little miss ana to bed. again

Me, too, Tabby. “See” ya later.

JFri, again, I can reply the way I feel and there is nothing YOU can do about it. If I tell you the truth about the way I feel and you don’t accept it, your problem, sir! I got a good laugh, too!

Good Night All

Whew, what a night! Wolfangil can’t believe this stuff! LOL

good night Jfri see you then

okay i am now headding to bed. good night.

good moring to all to come!

Well, umm… seems the ban on religious discussions has been lifted (at least temporarily). So I will take this opportunity to tell ALL of my favorite religious jokes!

A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside.

The pastor said, “You need to join the Army of the Lord!”

My friend said, “I’m already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor.”

Pastor questioned, “How come I don’t see you except at Christmas and Easter?”

He whispered back, “I’m in the secret service.”

There was this lady who was visiting a church one Sunday. The sermon seemed to go on forever, and many in the congregation fell asleep.

After the service, to be social, she walked up to a very sleepy looking gentleman, extended her hand in greeting, and said, “Hello, I’m Gladys Dunn.”

And the gentleman replied, “You’re not the only one ma’am, I’m glad it’s done too!!”

One Sunday morning, the priest saw little Davey staring up at the large plaque that hung in the church’s foyer. The plaque was covered with names and small American flags were mounted on either side of it.

“Father Donovan,” the boy asked, “what is this?

“Well, son, it’s a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service,” the priest explained. They stood together quietly, staring at the memorial plaque.

Little Davey softly asked, “Which service? The 9:00 or the 10:30?”

The town drunk was staggering down the main street of town. He managed to make it to the cathedral, up the stairs, and into the building, where he crashed from pew to pew until he finally made his way into a confessional.

A priest had seen him enter and watched his stumbling efforts and decided the fellow might need some help. The priest entered his own side of the confessional, but the man said nothing. After a lengthy silence, the priest finally asked, “May I help you, my son?”

“I dunno…,” the drunk slurred from the other side of the partition. “You got any toilet paper on your side?”

Mr. Smith, a businessman from Wyoming, had to take a business trip to Arizona. As soon as he arrived, he sent an e-mail to his wife, Diane.

However, Mr. Smith wasn’t the best typist, and he made an error in the address, so the e-mail ended up going to a Mrs. Diana Smith, the wife of a preacher who had just passed away.

The preacher’s wife took one look at the e-mail and promptly fainted. When she was finally revived, she pointed to the e-mail message with a shaky hand.

“Arrived safely, but it sure is hot down here!”

A minister was talking to a group of young children.

“Who can tell me what we must do before we can expect forgiveness of sin?”

There was a moment’s pause, then Tommy made a logical contribution:

“Well, sir, first we have got to sin.”

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, “Take only one, God is watching.”

Moving through the line, to the other end of the table, was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. One of the boys wrote a note, “Take all you want, God is watching the apples.”

A minister told his congregation, “Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17.”

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17.

Every hand went up.

The minister smiled and said, “Mark has only 16 chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying.”

A nearsighted minister glanced at the note that Mrs. Jones had sent to him by way of an usher.

The note read: “Bill Jones having gone to sea, his wife desires the prayers of the congregation for his safety.”

Failing to observe the punctuation, the clergyman startled his audience by announcing: “Bill Jones, having gone to see his wife, desires the prayers of the congregation for his safety.”

A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.

“Mama, look what I found”, the boy called out.

“What have you got there, dear”?

With astonishment in the young boy’s voice, he answered, “I think it’s Adam’s underwear!”

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend.

The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him in front of the service station. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.

“Reverend,” said the young man, “sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.”

The minister chuckled, “I know what you mean. It’s the same in my business.”

A new minister was talking to the oldest member of his congregation.

“I am 90 years old, sir, and I haven’t an enemy in the world,” said the aged one.

“That is a beautiful thought,” said the clergyman approvingly.

“Yes sir,” was the answer. “I’m thankful to say that I’ve outlived them all.”

A parishioner had undergone a serious operation and was still under the influence of the sedative when the vicar came, so the vicar just said a prayer and left.

The next day he returned and asked the patient if he had been aware of his visit.

“I vaguely remember your visit yesterday. I remember opening my eyes and thinking ‘I can’t be in Heaven because there is the vicar’.”

One Sunday a little boy was in church with his mother when he had to go to the bathroom. He tugged on his mother’s arm. “Mommy, I have to pee!”

She shushed him and said, “It isn’t right to say the word ‘pee’ in church. From now on, when you have to go just tell me that you have to ‘whisper,’ okay?”

The following Sunday the boy’s father took him to church. The boy tugged on his father’s sleeve and said, “Daddy, I have to whisper!”

His father leaned down and said, “Okay, just whisper in my ear.”

If you MUST speed on the highway, sing these hymns loudly: at 45 mph…. “God Will Take Care of Me” at 55 mph…. “Guide me, O Great Jehovah” at 65 mph…. “Nearer My God to Thee” at 75 mph…. “Nearer Still Nearer” at 85 mph…. “This World is Not My Home” at 95 mph…. “Lord, I’m Coming Home” at 100 mph…. “Precious Memories”

Thursday night–Potluck supper. Prayer and medication to follow.

Eight new choir robes are currently needed, due to the addition of several new members and to the deterioration of some older ones.

During the absence of our pastor, we enjoyed the rare privilege of hearing a good sermon when A. B. Doe supplied our pulpit.

The Rev. Adams spoke briefly, much to the delight of his audience.

The church is glad to have with us today as our guest minister the Rev. Shirley Green, who has Mrs. Green with him. After the service we request that all remain in the sanctuary for the Hanging of the Greens.

Hope you enjoy your Sunday.

Good Morning all. Blueberry pancakes with ham and Doc’s coffee sounds mighty tasty. Thank you Dry. By the way, looking at your avatar is a great way to start the morning.

Boy, you guys have been extra yappy. Trying to get in all conversation before the Super Bowl?

Doc i will miss you.

Cleo good morning.

should be getting ready to leave for church but some people are still sleeping cough cough Ana

hehe she wont be sleeping much longer as soon as i find her fav. song. :)

There is a reason we do not discuss religion or politics. Sheesh come on. I am getting tired of bickering.

still sleeping. oh my word!

Doc I will miss your posts.

Cleo i am with you on that one.

Doc because i will be gone by the time you get back, i want to tell you this…

I am sorry that you are leaving, you have been a main part of the tribe. you are one of our founding fathers. you came up with the name. i will truly miss you. and it is truly very sad to see that it has come to this. that we are losing our people, or family. and if me taking a stand last night has anything to do with you leaving i am sorry. it was my idea to go after him last night noone helped me with that at all. doc i bid you farewell.

i will be back some time later today, for now its time to go.

Well said Doc.

Morning all. Has the dust settled yet?

Hello serena. How are things in your world.

I read the comics because they are supposed to give me a chuckle.

I’m just on a fly by as I’m heading to bed very shortly. I’m in the middle of a 7 day stretch so I probably won’t be back until it’s over, but I just wanted to say ‘Hi’ to ALL my friends of the Tribe.

Doc I’ll miss your comments until you come back.

LuvH8 loved your jokes. May I borrow some of them sometimes?

Cleo did you get your painting done yet? May I join the rest of the Tribe in helping you to redecorate your house? I have some pschedelic [not sure of the spelling] paint that I can donate to the cause. LOL

Terry, Dry, JFri, Tabby I hope we can still all be friends and get along. I’ve grown to love all of you.

I don’t mean to leave anyone else out either.

See everyone later.

cleo, didja hear THAT?? Psychedelic paint!! Me and the rest of the painting crew will be there in a jiffy!! Better load up on Bookers first.

Serena of course. It’s a shame that happened but it did and it’s time to move on.

Hey JFri, here’s the brushes.

Good morning Doc and Cleo!

Dry, do we need rollers so we can cover more walls??

Sure, why not! Probabably could use some spray paint too!

Hey Doc! We got a foot and a half of snow!

Good Morning, DocT. Sorry we wont be seeing as much of you but glad your RL is working well with Wildcheetah! If you need wedding planners, let me assure you that Dry, Carmy , Tabby and I can provide you with the same quality service we have given cleo!!

Hey, Dry! Need any help with that snowapult??

I thought Doc would’ve gotten my present by now!

Hello Everyone!

Serena - I collected the jokes so they were not technically mine to begin with. And you may use anything I put in the comments. But I do not necessarily agree with everything I say, so you also don’t have to credit me.

Doc I really don’t know what is going on in your life, but I wish you well, and will look forward to your entries.

I assume the ban on religious discussion is now back and place and will not post the rest of my religous jokes which some might find offensive. I hope no one was offended by any of the jokes I did post.

Thank You Doc, I have a large collection of jokes, quotes and other things like that I find amusing and sometimes just help me deal with the world. I will feel free to share the ones that I feel will not offend.

I don’t know if all of you got a chance to read my partial explanation as to why I chose to make those pieces of advice so obvious seeing as how it was deleted. But basically I felt that people’s feelings on the negativity of the comments were being ignored. I had originally wrote those just to let off frustration and had not planned on posting them.

For now I plan on making sure I compliment at least three people whose posts I enjoy a day. In the hopes that it will encourage more pleasant posts and also because I think that sometimes people just deserve the recognition.

Boy I have been wordy this morning.

Doctor T as to your not being on as much, do you plan on keeping up with all the comments or just the ones when you are able to be on?

I hope I have not scared everyone off. For reasons I do not care to share I have chosen to be tolerant of the Person-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. But I will say this: I think offense is taken too easily because of the frequent unprovoked attacks by some of the people who appear to think it is funny.

Daughter awake, she has fought a valiant fight and won control of the computer. Will see you later,

No, LuvH8 - I do not believe you have scared anyone off.

I have the same feeling sometimes - then I remember that this group of posters are unusually close - and have to remind myself that they have been unfailingly kind and positive to me since I started posting in November.

I hope they remember that when they come back. It made me sad to see the discussion.

And, I fed the troll yesterday for the first time because I couldn’t shake it off but should have moved on. I do try to ignore him.

Doc Toon, it will be different without you here as much, but when RL calls…

I have been moving everything out of the living room to get ready for tomorrow. It is tough finding places to put furniture when the other rooms already have furniture in them. I feel uncomfortable living in a house that is a mess and ours is going to be so for this coming week.

I echo Doc’s advice!

I have been reading the posts from the last couple of days and wondered if I was on a different site. It just didn’t seem to be the same group of people that I so enjoy talking to. I really hope that no-one is too offended to come back. I also looked for trolls here yesterday (and the day before) and did not find any - just several people who got a little too hot under the collar. To those who are on now, I am enjoying your conversations and BTW I loved the jokes! Good way to move away. Sorry I have rehashed things but just wanted to let Everyone know that I enjoy their company and hope to see them back.

Lecture over. Love you all!

Dawn it’s over as far as I’m concerned. We were just defending Tabby! Subject closed from me.

And how are you? That was some snow storm in our neck of the woods.

Good Afternoon ALL! All I will say about last night is what’s done is done and we do need to move on. I wasn’t planning to watch the Super Bowl, but my husband wants to and also have a little party here with the girls. So I will on and off here. I have some cooking to do soon.

Moving furniture is never a good project to do with LilG, she really lives up to her name.

Hello all.

Cleo, did you see where Doc said that the Grabby Girls will have to go after you now?

Doc, said that because he will be scarce in the evenings and that’s when we’re usually grabby, during his evening shower.

Good afternoon, all. Popcorn, chips, dip and other snacks available for the Superbowl, Mythbuster’s Marathon or Puppy bowl, which ever you prefer to watch.

Hi Dry, Carmy, Cleo, Saucy and anyone in the background. I saw the effects of your snowstorm. Wow! I hope everyone is safe and warm. We are lucky here - a little fog in some areas but still pretty nice . Hate to tell you this but our viburnum is in blossom and there are snow drops and daffodils. But I lived many, many, many years in the snowbelt in Calgary so do empathize. Thanks for the snacks, Saucy.

I’m sure Cleo saw that Carmy - he’s probably looking forward to the grabby girls, but I’m not sure what LilG will say about it ;>)

Hi Carmy, Cleo and Saucy! Grabby girls, you up for it Carmy?

Oh and Dawn, there’s another storm coming mid-week!

Carmy I saw **Doc’s comment. I don’t mind. It won’t be as fun for you pinching me, as I am not as modest, as you can see. Hee, hee.

Well, I am done with the furniture and survived each other, with only the usual amount of temper flare ups on both sides.

Other than Doc, is there anyone but me who will not be watching the Super Bowl tonight?

Batten the hatches everyone - and let’s all hope it passes over without touching down! What weird weather everyone has had this year! Send it all to DocT in Colorado, Dry. For some strange reason he like the snow - wonder what wildcheetah has to say about it???

I won’t be, Cleo. We want to go for a walk soon and our tv’s just a little one - can hardly see the ball. But when I was a kid, I always watched it with my Dad and our first date was a CFL football game in Calgary. Some of the Canadians here might remember Don Luzzi - an offensive guard for the Stampeders. He took the ball all the way to a touchdown that game.

Dawn we have really been lucky this winter. I hope we do not get a real cold spell as all of our plants are at least two months early on growth and bloom.

I agree, Cleo. We went to a sugaring off festival in Duncan yesterday. The sapsuckers (Big Leaf Maple tree tappers) want a cold day followed by warm to get the sap running faster. It has been a poor year for them because it hasn’t been cold. The maple sugar industry is just eight years old in this area but is becoming a going concern. we may try getting into it as well since we have several Big Leaf Maple trees in our yard. But it takes 40+ gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup - all be it very tasty syrup!

Hi Saucy and Dawn! Dry, I’m ready to be a grabby girl. I wonder if Cleo is as quick as Doc. Cleo, we can still make it fun. You don’t know what the grabby girls are capable of, heh heh heh.

I’m afraid that because of my spotty attendance I do not know who the Troll is that we are ignoring. so If I have fed a Troll unwittingly, please let me know.

LuvH8- I too have laughed at many of those jokes. I have a book called “Holy Humour” written by the members of the Fellowship of Merry Christains. By Cal and Rose Sumartra.

BTW an agnostic simply acknowledges they don’t know if there is a God. I hope you discover Him someday. Either you are a practicing agnostic, or a non-practising Christian or Theist. But that is just clarifying terminology.

It seems like it has been colder than usual here in FL. We had several days of temps below 32F and that is quite unusual.

Hi Dry, Doc, Cleo, JFri, Dawn, Bunnyface, Tabby, johnny, Marg, Terry, and Carmy

– in no particular order. I have a wonky memory.

Hi Shika!

I will be sort of watching the game. I’m just not invested in either team. This year is for the commercials, and if I’m ready to sleep before the game is over, I won’t care if I miss the end.

That could change if it gets exciting.

Weather-wise: no snow, but so much rain. The hill I usually walk down to get to my car is so soggy that there are spots where the mud and water ooze over the top of my shoes. The hill hasn’t had time to dry out this wnter.

Doc I’ll miss your presence here. Enjoy your time with Wildcheetah.

Dry You provided a link for music last night. It said it contained content from WMG, whho blocked the video in Canada. Do you know who they are, and why they blocked it? Just curious.

@Dawn Do you live in New England? That’s the one area of the US I haven’t visited (and Iwant to).

Hi Carmy! I can’t stay. homework still. I just got back from a pancake dinner at church.

Yum!

Hi Shika and Celecca. Careful when you’re walking in that mud, Celecca. I’m sure a little part of my back injury was from a slippery slope. Not pleasant - and it sure makes a mess of your clothes! ;>) We’re heading our for our walk so BBL Enjoy the game, those of you who are watching and enjoy the rest of the day, those who aren’t.

What’s new Carmy?

what game? I know I’m out of the loop here.

Hi Dawn and Celecca

It must be a big game, or someone would answer.

A good time to do my work.

BBMML

celecca Dawn live in British Columbia, on Vancouver Island.

You bun pinching ladies might just get a few pinches in return.

Hi, Shika!!

Shika, It’s the Super Bowl Game for the National Football League (NFL) The BIGGGG Game!!!

Sorry, Celecca, I missed your question but thanks, Cleo for picking up on it. Yes, we live on Vancouver Island in the great northwest approximately in line with Bellingham, WA - AKA paradise ;>) Hi JFri! And now, after that Shika move, I’m off. ttfn.

Hello JFri. I am finishing up removing blinds from the living room. I hope you guys had fun wasting paint because it will all be covered over in the next couple of days. :-)

Thanks Cleo

And BTW - I think you’re enjoying the prospect of being Doc’s hiney stand-in!

Dawn - sorry if I was guilty of USA-ism. I just picture sugar maples in one specific area - Northeast.

celecca, I haven’t studied to become a dirty old man, not to put the art to use.

cleo, that paint was put on soooooo thick it will take days to dry (no pun intended)!!! And being lead based and all…….Ohhhhhh, don’t lick the wet paint!!!

Everyone must have their specialty! ;-]

cleo, and you graduated with honors from your studies!!

Well - I’m done for the day. Enjoy your evening.

Yes, I take pride in my lecherousness.

cleo and JFri You egg each other on. cleo you’ll have to tell us when it’s shower time. Tell Carmy and Dry anyways. I may miss the cue, with my sporadic attendence here.

Are you sure that you used paint and not gel JFri?

Hi Shika, sorry I missed you earlier. I had to get off the computer for awhile.

I see I missed you guys by about half an hour. I’ll be back.

Does anyone doubt that?

No doubt here, Shika!

Shika ssshhh. Do not be giving JFri suggestions about eggs. For crying out loud woman, haven’t you learned yet that he has a over active Booker’s indulgence that often leads to grasping onto one arcane thought that occurred earlier in the day and painting with it.

cleo (So shellac or tempera isn’t a good thing to mention here?) Shh. keep it to yourself, okay?

Eggs, eggs, who mentioned eggs?

home have not caught up yet.

Serena i have NO PROBLEM WITH YOU!! we ae still frineds i only have a problem with a few people

I was just asking if eggshell was a color Shika liked.

Oh I thought maybe you wanted us to break some eggs and mix up a new paint!

Gel/paint filled eggs at cleo’s? ALRIGHTY THEN! See y’all at cleo’s!!!

Eggshell is a great colour cleo

(Heh-heh. They don’t know what we are talking about.)

(imagine it being said in Alfred Hitchcock’s inimitable tones.)

Oh, and is there a game going on today?

Who’s playing?

[ducks behind the couch!]

Hi Serena!

It’s my dinner time- late, of course. I’m going to tour the ‘toons and then pop in before resuming my studies.

Hi bunnyface The question is, WHAT are they playing?

(Ducks into the closet)

A silly game with a funny shape ball, I think.

[ducks over to Timbuktu.]

FINALY im all caught up!

shika and bunnface LOL you two are great!

Why do they call it “football” if they mostly carry and throw it with their hands?

bunnyface because handball is already a sport.

Notice how it is just us not watching the game that are here. Talk about disloyalty, a game is more important than us. How on earth could that be possible?

bunnyface i never thought of that. lol

They could call it “passball” or “downball” or “tackle”…

Well, more important than a game, and (partially) than even you guys is RL nourishment–I’m off to get serious about eating! BB tomorrow…

And no clown, or nougat either!

I’m here in and out because I really don’t care who wins since the Vikings aren’t playing, I’m more interested in the commercials.

BYE bunnyface

Good evening Tribe

Okay, there has been a dust up. Oh brother was there a dust up. Participating parties , if you are here or lurking, head for the BT kitchen. I have 20 of the 31 flavors of Baskin Robbin’s ice cream which has been infused with the best Karma available in the Karma Bank.. Get your favorite poison(s), sit back and relax. Everyone else, once our participants are settled, help yourself. We all need to relax and eat ice cream.

Tomorrow is another day. Start again, and everyone….try to keep the feet out of the mouth. It’s hard to walk and talk while chewing.

Good night bunnyface. I still get a chuckle when I type that.

Dry have there been some really good commercials?

Dry same here, also im doing my math hw.

There have been a lot of good commercials. Bud Light has some really good ones. The Who was bad, and I mean bad, bad.

Hi bunny, bye bunny! Hi Quaby!

I liked the one with Tim Tebow and his Mom too.

Dry, the one with Brett was showing him with the Super Bowl trophy.

Shika here.

bunnyface I think they should call it “funny-shaped-ball-and fanny-patting” game.

Ducks out to mars.

Soccar is football overseas. But they use their heads.

They use their heads? Is that a pun?

17 to 16 it must be a pretty good game.

But, I prefer higher scoring games, for the entertainment factor.

Soccar is my fav. sport back to math i go.

Yea carmy I saw it.

Well, I just saw the Who half time show on youtube. Roger Daltrey’s voice has lost some luster. It was interesting seeing that Zak Starkey is the drummer, he was pretty good. Roger and Peter were definitely looking their age, but so am I. I loved seeing them in concert in Seattle ages ago. I really liked Keith Moon as a drummer.

Well, unless the Colts pull off a miracle, the Saints have won the Super Bowl!

Wow, the Saints are going to town.

Hey Cleo, it’s good to see our rock bands still up there! Gives us old farts some hope, ya’ know! Except for the Rolling Stones, LOL!

Cleo, yes they are!

Shika, fanny-patting? I’ll pat Brett’s fanny anytime, if I could get close enough! Of course, Deanna may not like it! ;-)

Dry, I am amazed at how good the old bands remain and how many young people like them. I do like the Stones. Roger Daltrey sounded like he had fried his voice though.

Cleo, I agree on both counts! My kids have a lot of the old stuff on their iPods. I would hear them downloading songs and they were a lot I already had!

Saints win.

My wife’s daughter went through our music library and downloaded a lot of our music.

Cleo how old is she, if I may ask?

Carmy Brett looks good even with white hair! :-D

My garbage bags are sitting on a huge pile of snow! And we are supposed to get another 5-10 on Tues.

Dry she is 21.

Dinner is served.

Dry, Brett always looks good!

Dry yea what Carmy said!

I’ll second that, third that, and so on!

Calm down ladies, calm down.

Cleo You’re just jealous! ;-)

Hey Brett didn’t even get to play in the super bowl. I just decimated everything in the supper bowl.

Cleo, that’s because the Saints are scammers.

Carmy, scammers?

Need Bookers!

I too must ask Carmy Scammers? You mean that one play? Sure surprised the Colts!

Hey JFri!

JUst making a quick note as I’m supposed to be on my way to work.

Quaby I agree. Everyone needs ice cream. If everyone hurries I might even leave some. Hehe.

Gotta go. See all later.

I was talking about the Vikings-Saints game.

Booker’s is on the counter. I am about to disappear for a movie.

so i watched the game kind of. and the best picture of 2010 was brees holding little brees. that was sweet and beautiful. what else would a dad do?

Oooooooooo, Bookers! Hi, Dry, Carmy & cleo!

hello Dry, Cleo, Carmy, and Jfri

And Tabby!

quick i need a dr. pepper

Hi JFri!

Hi tabby, Dry, Carmy and Serena

You guessed it. Here to say GOOD NIGHT.

hi shika bye shika

Good night Tabby.

Hi JFri, Tabby and Shika! Goodnight Shika! Tabby, yes, baby Brees and big Brees were very cute!

Im hungry

Carmy how was your weekend, if i may ask

so my techers and myself are watching the news like hawks praying schools are closed. :0)

Tabby, why would the schools be closed? My husband got back from being out of town Friday night. It’s been hectic here since. Lots of stuff to do, etc. Last night he took the 2 older girls to a late movie. I was home with the younger 2. I had to get off the computer and watch Monsters Inc with the youngest. I fell asleep watching it and woke up with a crick in my neck because of the way I fell asleep.

carmy bc no one will show up. lol besides for the ones that are not saints fans, ie me.

thats anas fav. movie. i have done that also. ((((HUG))))

did they enjoy the movie?

Tabby, oh yeah, they enjoyed the movie. I was enjoying it to until I fell asleep. People will just use the Saints win as an excuse not to go to school. Life goes on.

Carmy LOL yes they would, its terrible. that or they will be to drunk to go. its normal.

getting ready for bed and school tomorrow ill bbs

I’ll BBS too.

back

me too

i got a book called boundries. its realy good so far.

i know a certain friend who is gonna wanna kick me in the morning for floding there inbox. hehe

Well, I hope you can run fast so you won’t get kicked.

me too. :) they asked for it.

:-0

let me refrase that. they asked for the emails so they are getting them.

and why are we both up!? i know what time it is over there young lady. lol

I know what time it is here too, little missy. I’m trying to get sleepy so I can go to bed. And you?

same thing. i have a sugar rush, also i jet more awake at this time then any other time of the night. bummer

I don’t have a sugar rush, I’m just thinking about stuff I have to do tomorrow. It’s just normal stuff too.

see why you need to go to bed? we both need to find better ways to go to bed. we are so much alike sometimes its crazy

pssst Carmy, guess what.

I’m not even sure what time I have to get up. I may or may not have to take the oldest to school. I guess I’ll find out in the morning.

what?

i know i have to be out the door for 8:50am. thats good enough for me

You silly goose!

hey you know i picked up that saying!

anas new nick name is silly goose. lol she rolls her eyes every time and i just grin

another reason im up is bc i have something on my mind. and i worry that if i go to sleep it will become stronger and i wont get to sleep. :(

I will have to up by either 6 or 7, or maybe 7:30. Sigh, any of those times will be too early for me if I don’t get to bed soon.

ill have to get up at 7 or 730. and i know what you mean way to early indeed

Ana is so cute, I thought of her when I saw Boo on Monsters Inc. What’s on your mind? Do you want to tell me about it elsewhere?

carmy, whats funny is that she used to look so much like Boo its crazy. my brother used to call her that. now that i am finished flooding my friends inbox if you dont mind. maybe that way we can both go to sleep sooner.

okay

let me get it together.

‘Ello, Ladies!

hey JFRi!!

‘ello Professor JFri! Okay, Tabby. Party? Not me, I’m getting sleepy now.
