Big Top by Rob Harrell for February 27, 2010

Well, I guess everyone will hide until I post the menu… Soo….. this morning, we have Eggs Bennie with Hollandaise sauce Chicken fried steak with farm fresh eggs Homemade bread toasted and buttered served with homemade blackberry or strawberry jam Grits served with pan fried trout Don’t forget the anchovy pizza Fresh fruit and vanilla yoghurt Doc’s nuclear coffee Rakkav’s Cocha mocha

Thanks Dawn! I was hiding, but only because I am too tired to cook. If I wasn’t so tired I could have tried to catch the mime and stolen Wink’s wallet back. Then I could have treated everyone to a road trip breakfast. :-)

Thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome to the Big Top crowd yesterday! Eggs Bennie is my favorite!

WoodEye, you have to make breakfast if you’re the first poster. ‘Morning Dawn and Carmy!

Dawn, I’ll have the toast and jam.

Good Morning Dawn, WoodEye, Marg and JFri!

OK Marg, I’ll remember that.

S’OK Carmy I’ve felt the same quite often. And welcome, WoodEye glad you like Eggs Bennie. Of course, Marg - great to see you this morning. Actually it’s evening for me but I know it’s morning for many of you. Hi JFri trust all the Bookers hasn’t had an effect on you or your driving. How’s the weather ? I learned today that LuvH8 is from the PNW as well.

Dawn, rained ALL day!

Good Morning, Dawn, Carmy WoodEye, Marg & JFri!!!

JFri, you should have tried singing the “Rain, Rain, Go Away” song. Or did you?

Good Morning Grog!

Morning, Dawn, Carmy WoodEye, Marg & Grog!!!

I tried, Carmy but nearly drowned!!

Good night, ALL!

(((((JFri))))) We sure don’t want that to happen.

JFri it rained here in the morning but dried up in the afternoon - stayed cloudy though. Goodnight, Marg.

Morning Grog

Marg, still playing. Just working off the Blackberry.

Pardon the pun, Dawn, but I’m feeling a little Groggy right now. I’ll just have a nuclear coffee for the moment, if you don’t mind.

Good night Marg - and no I don’t want what you got.

Oh Marg I know what you mean - had it twice - once on my face and then on my side. Hated it!!! Most only get it once - may you be one of those. Grog you got it! But it will keep you awake and your cold might get worse? And with that, I too say, Good night!

Thanks, Dawn. The effects may be offset by my next shot of nyquil

Good night, Dawn

Good Night Everyone! Grog, I hope you feel better very soon!

Thanks, Carmy and good night to you.

Off to bed I go…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The usually unreliable sources predicted snow everyday this week. I haven’t used my shovel yet, but I went through two umbrellas. Everybody got lots of snow this year except southern New England. The kids got school off on the predictions though.

Good Morning TRIBE! Don’t listen to my crabbing.

Good Morning Doctor “Tool Man” Toon.

That’s right, Doctor Toon. Even knowing what I know about your abilities in home repair, I still couldn’t help applying that “tribute” after seeing LuvH8’s remarks yesterday.

Glad to hear it, Doc. After all, as even Tim Taylor has said, “Home improvement isn’t just about tools, it’s about male improvement”. You can’t use a wrench to repair human problems, but there are those like yourself who can reach young kids and help them through there problems.

Good Morning all. Watch out Doc, that mime is going after your coffee.

My thoughts go out to the people in Chile.

Easy job for some, Doc. It requires patience. A lot of people are rather short on that.

Good Morning, Cleo

Good Morning Everyone! Hello Doctor Toon, Cleo, And Grog!

Good Morning, LuvH8!

Good Morning Grog, LuvH8 & Doc.

Me? I was good this morning.

Need coffee! You didn’t say anything about the Mime Mice & Clown Squirrels hyped up on Cookies & Nuclear Coffee. I blame you for those visions. So there! ( :

I am sometimes a good listener/reader and sometimes not.

Grog - may I yell your name everyday on BC?

Does anyone feel like going and explaining Cow and Chicken to the new person? I don’t know it well enough to explain.

Cleo what are you up to today? Do you use or shun umbrellas?

Sure, LuvH8. B.C. is probably one of the few strips, I’ll post daily on.

I laid out a rundown of the scenario at 2 Cows and a Chicken.

I am not feeling very inspired to comment today or last night.

Doc T do you think we should continue to comment on the negative strip so as to be an influence?

I do not use umbrellas. It rarely rains hard enough for me to need them. And I hate carrying things around.

SNORT!

That “snort ” was for Doc Toon’s comment about 2 C & C.

Grog What was that for? BTW you said it was okay.

Umbrellas are a pain. Thank you for explaining, I’ll have to go read it after I finish this round.

LuvH8, this SNORT’s for you for your shout on B.C. I like it.

I don’t do SNERKS.

Have a good day everyone!

My decongestant caused drowsiness. Sleeping now zzzzzzzzz

I don snerks Grog and am willing to match you snerk for snort.

I don’t SNERK either.

Prepare yourself for a daily greeting!

Good Morning Tribe

I’m alive. Busy week, but alive. Got to clear out the bedroom wall for the credenza, and clear out the credenza so we can move it.

So I leave the Krispy Kreams on the table in the BT kitchen and toddle on off to work

I could use one of those after I do my errands. Sleep well, LuvH8

I told you mimes couldn’t be trusted!

Good morning Quaby

Good morning Dry! Re your post on the late, late, late, late late show, I, too, love News Radio and That 70’s show, but the latter can be seen almost any time anywhere.

I have the first 2 seasons of News Radio, but Night Court is my top priority to collect, because you can’t see it anywhere.

Good Morning Quaby & Dry.

Good morning Doc, Cleo and Grog! Yes, I know “That 70’s Show” is on all the time. That’s how I got hooked on it. Never watched it before the series ended and went into syndication. Now I would like to see it from the beginning. Trouble with that is, some shows don’t put out all the episodes. Like WKRP! I have only been able to find the first season. Even with the music changes, some of those episodes I woiuld stll like to have.

Just a quick pop-in to say Good Morning Tribe! Dry and Grog, Who was it that they had on News Radio once, Joey Buttafuoco? (LMBO!) See you all much later!

Quaby sorry, I forgot you. Good Morning!

Morning all. Do you realize it has taken me TWO DAYS to catch up on the comments on this one strip alone? I haven’t even had time to read any of the other comics.

Dry I caught some of That ‘70 Show in first run and did become a fan. Through syndication, I got to see many of the earlier shows that I missed.

I am a VERY BIG FAN of WKRP, but can’t bring myself to buy a butchered collection. It’ll have to be packaged uncut and with the original music before I even look at it.

With that I must say see you later and drag my butt away…from……my computer………so that…………..I can……………….run my……………………………….errands!

Dry no worries, I don’t get my nose out of alignment because my name’s not mentioned. I’m a Leo, I love it, but we all have lives, etc.

Just picked up my Angel Food order. We’ re having fajitas for lunch, my son will join us and then we’ll move stuff.

Pretty day today, cloudy and chilly, but the wind’s not blowing and it’s not raining.

Good Morning serena. Yes, we do tend to be Yappy.

Good Morning Tribe!

Good Morning Doc, Quaby, Cleo, LuvH8, Grog & All!

Good Morning Terry.

Good Morning Terry.

Good morning all! Got a little bit of time before I head home. Doc, I must say I am a bit jealous that you grew up at that time. I would’ve loved to be around when some of my favorite bands were not only still together, but still alive.

I’m heading out to get some things done today, Catch you all later. P&L

Why Doc however could that be? I think this calls for one: snerk

Good day to you fine folks!

who wants to clean my room for me??? i have to do all this in less then an hour wish me luck so this is an hi and bye

yes Johny but now you would be middle-aged!

That’s fine Dry, I have conflicting opinions with this generation on a number of things anyway. Hi Tabby, I’ll clean your room for you, all you have to do is bring it up here.

Welp, my ride has just informed me that the bus is leaving, so I will bid you all adieu. I’ll be back in a week or so. Peace and love all!

Doc If I had snow I would and any around has been snatched up by the Olympic Trucks.

Take care johnnyd.

Good luck Tabby.

Yes Doc you never know when you might need to send a barrage you know where.

Doc, you couldn’t get much more snow here if you tried your darndest!

I’ve been checking on all the news reports from tsunamis generated by the Chile quake. Hawaii is supposed to have it hit them at about 11:19 AM. CA, OR, WA, BC and Alaska could get small surges. Hawaii though could get 8 foot surges which would be pretty high because they would be coming in at 500 to 600 miles per hour.

Yes Doc! You do good work, happy now? :-)

Cleo so in about a half hour?

Credenza is in the bedroom, fajita’s are in the belly I’d love to snoozle, but there’s stuff all over my bed. Guess I’ve got my work cut out for me.

Next week I should be moving my desk to my room. I’m thinking of taking the week of the 8th off to tidy up, supervise the rug cleaning and such

And best news, Son got a job, starts the 8th. Some type of call center. Whoo Hoo!

No Dry Hawaii time.

(sweep, sweep)

Any word as to the epicenter? Onshore or off?

(scrub, dust)

Hymenoxis hello sir. Shallow earthquake near Concepcion, Chile.

Cleo-

Thanks. Shallow hopefully means minimal displacement below sea level. 8.8 is a MF for the surface dwellers, but maybe limited transmission to the big salty.

(polish, re-arrange)

Hm…6.9 aftershock in Chile….

HIlo has experienced more than it’s share of Tsunamis. It is pretty scary when you are such a small speck on a big ocean and with all the surface water to allow the wave to travel along.

Hymenoxis it has been awhile since you have been around. The place was getting a bit shabby.

Yep, one was near Santiago and has closed their airport with damage to the terminal and some bridges.

(empties ashtrays)

I apologize for my lack of participation. I check in daily, read and laugh, but seldom feel the need to contribute.

CNN reports that US Navy vessels are leaving port in San Diego and PH.

(cleans litter box)

I understand that hymenoxis.

CNN reports 25 minutes until tsunami arrives HI…

It hits in my neck of the woods in about three hours. I am not on the beach though. My beach is a lake. LOL

CNN reports gawkers at Hilo and Waikiki…

10 minutes until tsunami hits Hilo.

(mop, swab)

This is when nature weeds out the weaker in the gene pool. Anybody who puts themselves in a situation of waiting in a dangerous area just to experience something life threatening, get what they deserve. Unfortunately they often take rescuers away from those who deserve the attention.

NOAA bouy in mid-Pacific reports 9 meter drop in surface level, according to CNN.

Stupidity is its own reward.

(scrape, detail)

Hm…Coconut Island off New Zealand just got hit…

Ignore previous. Faulty input.

Hi HY!!! Long time no see. They are still waiting, gawkers included, the surf is beginning to get rough and the little boats are coming into shore.

I’m suffering from information over-load. I’ve never been to the Hawaiian Islands, but I’m fairly certain I know where the WalMart is on the Big Island and how the traffic affects tsunami patterns between Oahu and Maui.

Three feet on the Big Island, according to CNN.

Happy Saturday, tribe. Line forms to the right for Costco hot dogs. If it formed to the left, Moxie would eat them all.

Mmm…hotdogs.

I want Nathan Becker’s job, the Oceanographer in Hawaii. He seemed unprepared to address the media, and probably has inhaled.

Mustard please, and sauerkraut.

Hello Saucy. I know that this is so far pretty much of a non-event in Hawaii, to see people basking in the water in Waikiki is so beyond stupid. Police came and forced everyone off the beach and as soon as they police left they came back. Let them be if things get rough we are better off without them.

Hi, cleo, Dry & hymenoxis!! Surf’s up, Dude!! Gnarly waves……..KOWABUNGA!!!

I keep my board waxed for just such an eventuality.

(munch, crunch)

Hi JFri

Hy, don’t foget the chopped onions!

Cleo they aren’t in danger yet. I would probably be one of the ones waiting and watching if I had an escape route planned, and I would know when to cut my losses and run for “them thar hills!”

Yep, it looks like Hawaii is safe.

Out.

(sweep, sweep)

Hello to all I don’t get on this site all the time takes too long to read comments and everyone has there favorite on this one strip I don’t think I’m one. And my rt arm will tire to easy. I’m not so sure of escape routes. Of course I’m not from those any of those areas. Last few years after hurricane hit Louisiana there was one to hit Texas and that created chaos. Here we are close to news time so we will see what God has planned for high waters. Mean while deciding whats for dinner. How about smoked chicken, hamburgers and hotdogs. potatoes salad. simple meal? Weather is getting warmer here and getting closer to barbaque weather.

kab2rb, put me down for the barbecue when you get it going!! I can help with baby back ribs.

kab2rbI’ll bring macaroni salad in case people don’t like potato salad. Personallly, I love both, but prefer potato.

I Barbequed salmon last night and it came out perfect, nice and moist. It is more challenging when your are doing it after sunset, but outdoor lights help a bit.

(((((MARG))))) Hope that doesn’t hurt.

And now- Zip! This is a Shika fly-by.

Smoked chicken sounds good. Maybe it’s the one from today’s Bird brains.

Like I said over there, it better not be MY CHICKEN!

Don’t worry Dry your chicken isn’t even in the same state.

Cleo Are we sure? They don’t know where they are, and neither do we! LOL!

FRY THE CHICKEN!!! (And his HAT, too!!!)

Considering It is JFri wouldn’t you expect such an answer?

JFri, :-P :-P :-P :-P

Smoked or bargequed is so much more tasty.

Cleo is that in response to my :-P, which if it is, your post was before mine, or else you just know JFri! :-D

I know you both my dear. LOL

Cleo We’ll take that as a compliment! :-)

Of course, as it was meant.

Hello Doc and I know what you mean about markers. I do the same.

Does that make us like dogs marking our spot?

No Cleo More like a female marking her territory! Oh dear, did I just say that? ROFLMAO!!

Hi Doc, bye Doc!

home! i did not fin. my cleaning but i did spend like 5 hours with walking buddy made my day!

Quiet around here. I am just checking in before my wife comes up to watch a movie. Glad you had a good day Tabby.

Where’s all the Yappy Nuts? I’ll BBL, here’s a funny to enjoy.

HI and bye Carmy

Hey Tabby Girl!

Just listening to some tunes. I LOVED THE BEE GEES, but I love the way she did the rendition of this one! I like her version better than the original! Of course, it’s by Feist! Get the connection? LOL!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUXHhNIvbK4

Hi Dry

Hey kiddo! Glad you had a good day!

Hi Dry & Tabby I take it you’re now holding down the fort.

I just finsihed watching part of my new British Comedy set called Are You being Served. I couldn’t stop laughing. I love British comedy, but that, along with Red Dwarf probably ranks high on my list of favorites.

Dry i had a great day! best 5 hours of my life!!! lol and i got me some nice shoes for $13 thats unheard of!

Here’s another one Tabby, you should like this one!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG2zyeVRcbs

Keeps me going!

Good Evening Tribe

Good evening, Lonewolf

How are you doing?

Good Evening Grog!

I’m hanging in there man!

Hi Grog! Didn’t think you’d be around. How are you feeling? Must be better or else you are addicted! LOL!!

Lonewolf, very happy to hear it! Sort of missed your greetings & comments over at B.C.

Tabby, might as well JUMP!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swzh0ngMNJo

I’ve been kinda busy lately. Sorry, man!

Miley Cyrus= Country. I love it!

okay im sliping im behind falling asleep in chair its time to move so i can watch the clips

And I love “Van Halen”. You guys are awesome!

Dry, it is addiction, because I felt I needed to check in after my Are You Being Served fix for more laughs and to catch up on the afternoon chatter. That and I still have 1/2 a beer left.

My wife messed up my internet connection beyond anything I had ever dealt with before and I just now got back on. I thought that I was going to have to take my computer in to Apple.

Grog, do you like “Are you Being Served”? I have it on DVD’s.

Just flamed out in a game of Texas Hold ‘Em. :-(

Grog, Are You Being Served?” LMAO! Do you watch “Last of the Summer Wine? Or “Prime MInister”?

Lonewolf, I just recently bought the collection. I’ve had Red Dwarf for a little over a year and I would also like to get Keeeping Up Appearances . I love British comedies, but I’d like to also try to get my hands on the complete original Avengers series as well. But that would be very expensive from what I’ve seen.

Grog, I’ll get over there in the morrow!

So John Wayne, you went out in a blaze of glory?

Cleo We heard ya’ Dude! Just messin’ with ya’! That happens to me a LOT! Sometimes 3 times! I keep checking after I post, just to be sure! Once I had like 5 or 6 of the same post! LOL!

Three that I have on DVD are Hogan’s Heroes, M.A.S.H., and Are You Being Served?.

I think that I am going to have to replace my mouse. My wife had me at the edge when she lost all possiblilty of getting on line. I had to tweak everything over and over until I got on. And of course I do not remember what did it.

cleo wasn’t it jon bon jovi who went out in a blaze of glory?

Dry, Those titles sound very familiar, but I don’t think I’ve seen them in a very long time. My local PBS station hasn’t had the greatest programming, but did have Are You Being Served?, which prompted me to buy the series. While living in Dallas, my local PBS station showed Chef, Red Dwarf & Keeping Up Appearances

Grog I think one of my all time favorites, well two, was when they had to stay in the store for the night and Mrs. Slocombe made up her own apartment, and the COMMERCIAL FOR THE STORE! I still laugh so hard at that one! Mrs. Slocombe and her eye lashes!

Hello YGuy!

yyyguy, Bon Jovi hung out in Vancouver as they recorded an album and spent a lot of time in a strip bar called Number 5 Orange. I don’t know if Glory was working but I am sure they saw a blaze.

Lonewolf i don’t have any of those DVDs but i do have Remington Steele, Perry Mason (the first 2 seasons) & the first season of Superman (the George Reeves series i watched as a kid. i finally learned enough about my viewing habits to realize buying an entire series of DVDs about a program was not the best of ideas. i’ll watch them all eventually, but it’s a very slow process). i also have a collection of Red Skelton tapes which predate the variety show i remember watching on Tuesday nights as a kid. (i have way too many DVDs.)

yea im not to big on miley the only song i like by here is this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M11SvDtPBhA

whats funny is i dont know why i like this song. :0( but i do. :0/

yyyguy it was Bon Jovi. Loneowlf I, too, have Hogan’s Heroes and the first 3 seasons of MASH. But as a classic movie & television collector I have much more and am working on more still. As I said this morning, I want to add to my Night Court collection. Also, they are finally releasing more Adam 12 which I’m also interested in.

okay cleo you’ve made me laugh sir. bbs, i just have to watch the end of the game between Solvakia and Finland.

Grog I LOVED “CHEF”!!!! OMG, THAT WAS A GREAT SHOW! I was so sad when Lenny Henry (Chef Gareth Blackstock) decided not to do the series for a 4th season. That show was absolutely FABULOUS!

Dry, I do remember the one you are talking about. And, yes, that was hilarious!

Grog, I don’t have Night Court or Adam 12, But I am complete on Hogan’s and Mash!

Grog “Keeping Up Appearances” goes without saying!

Miley Cyrus is an awesome artist! And she she knows how to perform. I think she sells out her concerts most of the time

Grog Have you seen “Good Neighbors”, “To the Manor Born” or the “Irish RM”? GREAT SHOWS!

anyone ever watch a series called “My Hero” (which i’ve mentioned before, i’m sure)? i have a season worth of it, too, and some Monty Python. i’m going to need to take several weekends to just watch DVDs at some point. (for those who care, Finland just scored an empty net goal to clinch the win and the bronze medal. as the commentator said, “Now there’s only one game left.”)

yyyguy is a true Canadian. He’s gotta watch all the hockey games. I know, I’ve lived with those hockey nuts for so long. You can’t watch a sports broadcast in the summer without hearing about hockey.

Hey JFri, Buddy! Sorry, I got carried away talking about British Comedy!

be prepaired this is a country song!! warning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvRD7kk61dc

hey jfri no excues about not seeing u but i am telling u the truth i was doing something else and im skimming the coments kind of

used to watch the syndicated version of Adam-12 regularly, and like Dragnet, too. M.A.S.H is a show that seems to be running in perpetuity up here - i was a big fan back in the day. funny how no shows that have run in the last 20 years have caught my fancy the same way.

DryI’ve seen To the Manor Born, but the others do not sound familiar. But it may be a choice in programming by the local PBS networks in the places I’ve lived.

i may be nuts, but hockey nut? not so much any more, though i still can appreciate a great game like this one was. spent 32 years as a referee in the game as well as being on the executive of a couple of leagues, so i come by my enthusiasm honestly!

yyyguy the only show that has gotten me so wrapped up as Mash is Andy Griffith and I can watch them both over and over again.

Hi Cleo.

yyyguy is the station you’re seeing those shows on still called Deja Vue? MASH ,on the other, is a show that is readily available in any market, like Cheers. I have not seen Adam 12 or Dragnet down here.

Hello Terry*. How was your day?

cleo i agree with you on Andy. i even watched the tv movie “reunion” they did with the cast several years back. it was a series that was moral, quiet, intelligent, gentle, and funny as h-e-double hockey sticks! most of today’s sitcoms seem to be dumber than rocks when ever i watch an episode.

yyyguy, I watched it too. It is a town that I could be proud to live in.

I love my library. I can check out most of the DVD television series collections I want to see for free! I’ll be getting Hogan’s Heros in a week or two. I loved that when I was …….. .

Cleo–I’m getting the same symptoms as before when he dropped my dose . I called the doctor yesterday, but no return call yet. I’m not sure what to do. I really am lost now!

Sorry yyyguy, I may not be as big a hockey fan as most Canadians, but I am a Habs fan. But I don’t want to hear about it 12 months of the year, as you would in Montreal.

Grog Deja View changed it’s name to TVTropolis and now shows a bunch of shows i don’t particularly care for. Adam-12 is a show i haven’t seen since university days, but i do have memories of it. MASH is currently being shown on the History Channel. these other shows are undoubtedly being shown on one of the digital channels but i have no desire to pay even more money to my cable provider in order to see.

Hello LUVH8! So good to see you!

Sorry (((Terry))).

hi LuvH8 Grog i was born an raised a Leafs fan (pity me) but also have no desire to hear about it 12 months a year. i’m an afficionado, not a fanatic.

Gee, we seem to have the same tastes in TV shows!

GROG, As a fan of British Comedy, have you seen* “Open All Hours” or “Allo, Allo?” I am also partial to “As Time Goes By”*. That is a GREAT comedy, but also a love story, so you may not have bothered with that one!

I think I’ll grab another beer, against my better judgement.

sorry to hear about your issues ((Terry))

Well, Cleo, it’s going to need to be more than that to bring me down!

good night all.

I’ve got way too many friends to worry about it too much, Yguy. You’re one of them and I thank you very much!

Dry i was going to mention “As Time Goes By” earlier. haven’t seen nearly enough of it, and i’ve yet to see a clinker. it strikes the right note over and over, and, like The Andy Griffith Show, is a gentle, intelligent, quiet, comedy that is extremely well made. that’s one i’d consider getting on DVD.

UncleWhy - Long time no see!

g’night Tabby and thanks for the music.

been around LuvH8, though not as much as i’d like to be. why can’t i be independently wealthy? (oh yeah, i don’t buy lottery tickets and my Dad wasn’t wealthy enough to leave me a huge trust fund. *sigh)

Dry I have seen As Time Goes By on odd occasions. What I’ve seen, I’ve really liked. I wish I could see more.

taking time for a quick tour before turnover. bbl

I loved “The Andy Griffith Show” grew up on that show!

Grog beear? You are flagged DUDE! LOL!

Hi Yguy! How was your day today?

Sleep well, LuvH8

Dry, I thought I fixed that. Let me check again.

What up with you, LuvH8!

NO FAIR, GROG! YOU CORRECTED YOUR SPELLING!

UncleWhy I occassionally buy a lottery ticket and then don’t check the results so I can pretend it might be a winner. I try to check them before the year is up though. I was very young when I watched Adam 12 (hee~hee)

Lonewolf I am sorry to hear you are not feeling so good. (Still don’t know what is wrong though, so no unsolicited advice!!)

Grog - If that is Root Beer, I’ll have one too, otherwise BLECHY.

I did fix it, Dry. Like LuvH8, you were too quick. But the posts are going fast & furious right now. Tought to keep up.

Yuguy, your Car IQ needs to move up some! LOL

Did you just tell me go go to bed?

LuvH8, I guess I won’t say ths Bud’s for you!

I’m doing alright, LuvH8. You don’t want to say too much online. It can come back to bite you.

Grog, Do you have a Bud for me? Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LuvH8, I thought you said good night!

Lonewolf, I’ve been trying say only good things about Monkey 2’s father when I agree with her when she’s being negative. I had to resort to “It’s not your dad’s face that is a jerk.” - pathetic. But at least I am trying. Apparently he’s been ranting about me and Monkey 1 quite a bit recently.

I said Good Evening - its okay lots of comments were flowing fast.

Patience, LuvH8! Always patience.

Lonewolf, I think you earned it. This Bud’s for you, buddy!

Thanks, Grog! I owe you one!

Yes, patience is good. Honestly, it is so sad to me that he is driving the monkeys away from him. Later in life he might decide that he was wrong and they might not care anymore at that point. I try to keep them open minded but I am not willing to ruin my relationship with them to help his.

Any time, Lonewolf.

Sigh! That was a nice little breather.

LuvH8–Believe it or not I am very close to that same scenario.

Yguy I meant to mention to you before, I really liked your photo of the bridge. Drive past it al the time, it was nice to see it close up!

Oh, I believe it. I’m just glad that my monkeys are old enough to see what the situation is now. That conversation on FHS might help me some more with them, also the quote I rewrote.

Just keep cruisin’ LuvH8.

I need to go do some stuff for Gma be back after breakfast is served. (hee~hee~hee)

Take it easy LuvH8.
