Good Morning LuvH8

Carmy, you still prowlin’ around?

Hi JFri, I’m still here. I’m trying to get sleepy, but I took in another long nap earlier. Hopefully soon though.

How’s everyone doing?

Sorry Wink, you’re headed a different direction buddy!

I have to leave at 7:30 and it is now quarter after five. If I went to bed for just a short nap, I’d get up in time, Right?

Morning TRIBE! DRY has set my stomach to grumbling again

Good morning and Happy FRIDAY!! Dry thank you for the grits. I’ve been debating if I wanted to try the new place that opened up where I used to get grits, but I guess I got another week to decide. Lew good luck with that plan :-)

Good Morning Tribe!

Hi Doc. It’s a beautiful Friday here!

Doc, It’s one of the reason’s I quit riding bulls! LOL

Believe me, it’s a loooong story, Doc.

Good Morning, Tribe Good Morning Doctor Toon & Lonewolf

Good Morning Grog.

Good to see you back again!

Yes! More than 8 seconds to tell the story Doc. Less than 8 seconds to show you! Though it seems like an eternity. LOL

Good to be back. Thanks!

Good morning all, TGIF. Although I have to work tomorrow, so TGIF doesn’t mean anything to me today. Dry, can I get 3 over easy with some Tony Chachere’s sprinkled on ‘em, a couplea slices of toast with stromburries jam (as my kid used to call it) and some grits please. Gotta skip the good stuff since it’s a Lenten Friday :(

Good Morning MisngNOLA!

Yeah, Doc, them ‘boys don’t take kindly to people rooting for the bulls. LOL

Morning All!

You could try a PETA t-shirt, Doc. Maybe?!

Have a good rest. Catch you later!

Good Morning DFrog!

Later, Doctor Toon Hello MsngNOLA & Digital Frog

Good morning people. 5 hours of sleep is NOT enough. i feel soooooo dead tired.

Good morning, tribe.

Wink, black diamonds DO NOT signify the way to the snack shack.

Morning, Tabby & Saucy

Lucky you Tabby. I only got 4 hours.

Good Morning all. What… Still no snow bunnies?!!?

Morning, cleo.

just saw some guys walking aroud one with a banana in his hand singing banana phone and talking like it was a phone. ROFLACMBO

Grog it was not enough bc it was a chopy sleep. i just want to fall asleep on this here bench and not move ever again.

Tabby, I would like to hide in some unoccupied office with a couch, but unfortunately, we don’t have any unoccupied offices or any couches in those offices.

never seen this b4

Good Morning Cleo. I beat one of those 7s last night and the team also won.

Good Morning Grog & Terry. Good job at pool. Way to go.

Now to catch up on comments.

Thanks for breakfast Dry. I will have eggs over medium with Hempler’s bacon, whole wheat toast with strawberry jam and a bloody Mary.

Are you working today, Grog?

It has been raining heavily all night long and is still pounding on the roof.

Unfortunately, Lonewolf. But when I am done, I will spring forward at that time. I know I’m going to be hitting the hay earlier tonight after last night. It’ll make my transition into the next work week a little smoother.

Good Morning, all, as well as cleo, ♠Lonewolf♠, Tabby, Grog, Saucy and anyone else lurking around I might have missed.

No, DocT, that’s not why I joined the monastery. I have more sense than to even consider riding bulls.

FIling taxes, now–that’s enough to get me here.

Good Morning, Bunnyface

Hi Grog, bunny, cleo, saucy and MsngNOLA I got 7 hours of sleep but could have slept longer, some idiot called at 9:15 and then I couldn’t get back to sleep, laid there for an hour and got up. The rain hasn’t really started or that would have put me back to sleep.

MsngNOLA yes I didn’t think of that, Friday. We sure have a lot of catholics around here, myself included! I hope you enjoyed the meatless breakfast!

Dry why do u get here when i have to go????

sooooooo sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grog, it’ll be nice to have it lighter later in the day again!

Agreed, Lonewolf. I am looking forward to it. I think that’s another reason I like to spring forward early. I never look forward to falling back, though.

Grog–That’s because we know the cold months are here when we fall back.

Lonewolf, I scheduled a meeting with our tech center this afternoon, which is a location much closer to where I live. I know I’ll get out early and have a shorter trip home. But better still, I’ll be able to spring forward even earlier!

Good morning, Fellow Baby!

Smart scheduling Grog. :^)

Hey Fellow Baby! How’s every little ole thing?

Moving along sluggishly today, Dry. I shouldn’t have stayed up up as late as I did last night. But things are starting to look up, 2 Advil later.

And how are things with you? I wish I got the 7 hours you got!

I’m lucky to get 7. And I stayed up late last night. Can’t do that tmr. night though! Could have slept longer, as I said, but .. . Why do people assume everyone is up when they are?

I was up last night, that’s for sure. I was so happy to be home. I guess here it might to be a little more difficult to tell when people are faking it.

Good Morning Everyone!

Good afternoon all! I think I’ll watch Michigan lose to Ohio State, then tweak a paper, and then it will be the weekend! Fun stuff.

Good morning, johnnydoc5 (well at least it’s still morning here).

Sorry I missed you last night Lonewolf. Did I miss you again this morning?

Johnnydoc5 - Good Afternoon, how does one tweak a paper?

Maybe you did get enough sleep? Or too much coffee?

Luvh8, I don’t know, but I have to make changes on my rough draft for the final paper. It should be interesting. Grog, time zones, what can ya do?

Good Morning/Afternoon LuvH8 & Johnny.

In the middle of some computer work……..

LuvH8, please see my comments to Dry above. I will be UP, though, by the time I leave the tech center this aftternoon, which should be shortly after 3:30PM.

Johnnydoc5 Good Luck with the tweaking. (that sounds like a drug reference)

Grog, ibuprofen is the key to mental alertness?

edit: just because (Blows Raspberry!)

It was the key to calming my pounding head.

Grog, maybe if you just stopped letting things pound on your head?

I see you’ve entered the silly part of sleep deprivation.

Grog is your being UP! TMI?

Grog, Doc, Lonewolf & Cleo ~ remember you are not old enough to be dirty old men. You can still be Cyber-Slapped! Oh and so can Bunnyface! Though I would probably have to ask forgiveness.

Just trying to do my part.

LuvH8, get your mind out of the gutter. That’s not what I meant!

I’m laughing so hard at you two, that I’m thinking I didn’t get enough sleep last night!

Lonewolf, judging by this morning’s post pattern, I’d say you may have had less sleep than I did.

Grog, I couldn’t sleep the first time I tried last night. After a few posts, I was able to rest for a few hours. Now I need to stay awake until this evening to get straight again. And even that is no guarantee that I’ll be able to sleep! It sucks.

Lonewolf weren’t you one of the people talking of the reasons not to ride bulls? Where do you think I get these ideas.

I was imagining a bunch of men in a country western style bar. Hanging out after watching the rodeo. Get them all some beers. Next thing you know: Lonewolf, Grog, Doc & Cleo are standing around with one beer in their hand for drinking and one beer in the other hand to ice down aching parts. There in the background is Bunnyface leaning on the ‘bucking bull’ laughing his posterior off.

Johnnydoc5 - Are you old enough to have joined them?

No, I never mad up reasons not to compete in bull riding. That might have been Doc.

RL calls. BBS

Lonewolf one of the things that works best for me (when I am actually tired but can’t sleep) is to put in a movie or cartoon that I have seen many times before. I can usually sleep until it ends, then restart it to go back to sleep. If you can find one that loops, or use your techno-geek talent to make it loop without that annoying end of movie music even better. My daughter loved Lady and The Tramp until I started falling asleep every time she made me watch with her.

Bye Lonewolf, I thought you said that was one of the reasons you quit. Sorry. If you notice I did not say what the aching body parts were. I figure there’s got to be a lot of aches after being thrown off a mechanical bull.

Well, I’m off to lunch, then the Tech center.

Be back later tonight.

Everybody leaves!

I’m off to deal with the scary real life thing.

Bye for Now! Lot’s of Luv!

Well, that sucked.

Boy, is Wink going to be angry when he finds out that he has to ski to the snack shack.

What sucked johnnyd?

Carmy I saw another face on Birdbrains>

Hi Dry I’ll eat your spicy Italian food any time. Yum!

*Johnny What sucked? I missed something.

Hi Grog, Doc, Terry and Marg And hi to everyone else too. I’m getting lazy.

Howdy Shika.

The basketball game I watched, read the earlier post. You can probably find it on ESPN too.

Howdy cleo When did you pop up?

I missed that post johhny

cleo?

johnny?

One…..

Two…….

I am here Shika doing some reasearch on mining for my book.

Mining for ideas cleo?

I left to put my dinner in the oven.

I’ve got to go out. I forgot to pick something up. Talk to you later cleo Good luck on your book writing!

I started looking at some other games. Don’t know why. I am way too bummed out to watch sports right now.

That’s to bad johnnyd. Maybe you should find a comedy or something to help lift your mood.

G’Afternoon all. Finally done with some unscheduled business.

Hi Shika!

no matter what i do i get in trouble! UGH

Just popped in to say hi and bye. I’ve got to get off the computer for awhile. SYL.

Hi & Bye Serena

Hello Terry, Tabby & serena.

What kind of trouble are you in Tabby?

Hi Cleo. How has your day been so far, sir?

Cleo i forgot to call when i was on my way home. at least i called and told him i was going somewhears. UGH!!

okay going take a shower and get ready to go.

The day has zoomed by Terry. I saw Shika* comment that she was going to make dinner and looked at the clock. I couldn’t believe how fast the day has zoomed by.

I am going on a walk. BBL

I found a nap to be helpful Cleo. Luvh8, in answer to your earlier question, yes.

johnnyd I am glad that you found something to make things better.

I just go back from an hour long walk and it gave me some ideas for my book that I was searching for.

Hello

HELLO

Anybody home?

Oh well, I guess I’ll go to the next house and try to sell some magazine subscriptions!

Does anyone even do that anymore? LOL!

Hi Cleo, Tabby, Shika, JDOc, Serena, LuvH8 and Terry, and anyone I missed. We woke to snow on the ground but it turned out to be a glorious day! For a while there, I thought I might have to be like Wink and get the skis out. Cleo where are the mines you are researching?

Oops - cross posted - Hi Dry!

I only get subscription ads when I receive my cell phone bill. They must have some agreement.

Hi Dawn, Serena, and Terry!

cleo Why are you looking for the book you are writing?

Hola! Hola! Hola!

Hi Dawn & Shika

How is everyone??

Hello Everyone!

Hi LuvH8.

The dogs decided it was time for me to go out. So they took me out and now we’re back.

Doing fine, Shika. How about you, Ms Busy? :^)

Hi Dawn! And Shika!

Well, when dogs (or cats) need to go out, there is no arguing with them.

I’m thinking of locking Senile Psycho Kitty (not my cat) in one of the buildings outside, so I can sleep more than 45 minutes at a time during the night.

Don’t I know it, LuvH8.

BTW,the bull riding I did had nothing to do with the mechanical type.

LuvH8, If it’s not yours, who’s cat is it?

Dawn there is an old gold mine that was near Mt. Baker. I was looking up info on it to be accurate in depicting it in a book I am writing.

Shika I wasn’t looking for my book. I was looking for info to put into it.

Actually, I got the impression it was real bulls. Was it as much fun as it sounds like it was scary? Oh and WHY?

It’s my sister’s cat, but she died, so I take care of him. He doesn’t like people much, which is okay because I don’t like him much. Hee~hee~hee. But he is around 20 years old, so I am nice to him.

BTW - Can you picture the others on a real bull? I don’t think you could get them drunk enough!!!!!!

What IS that smell?? Wooooo!

cleo I was teasing you. It is how you worded your sentence.

Sorry I missed you Dry

That’s why I’m glad I have a cat. It is raining out now, and I can stay indoors!

It’s good that you are nice to the cat, LuvH8.

My backyard is completely fenced and the dogs can be let out on their own. They like when I’m out with them. :^)

Mua Is looking out the window. He likes that he is my height when he does that while I work on the computer. I wouldn’t mind letting him out into a well-fenced yard, but cats are different.

My neighbour’s cat fell off their 6th storey balcony and died at the vets with a broken back. It gives me nightmares.

How was your day JFri?

Have you had dinner JFri?

Lonewolf- Hee~hee~ha~ha~ha~ha~haaaa! That comment about it being good I am nice to the cat struck me as funny.

I had a dog when I was a kid (well I only liked/remember one) he used to sleep in the middle of my bed. He would sleep outside with us when we were kids and protect us from the oppossums. I guess my dad got up early to remove the bodies before we woke up. We didn’t fence him in, but he didn’t seem to need it. Now days though, big no-no.

I’m taking a break from homework today to clean my apartment. But I may read some tonight so I don’t fall behind.

LuvH8, I said that because some people would just continue to be mean regardless. I think it is nice of you.

HEY JFRI! HOW YA’ DOIN’ BUDDY?

Shika I’m here now!

Hi Dry Where were you?

I like you avatar. Too cute. A bear behind.

I thought you said you were here Dry.

Shika, I am cat sitting, along with my cats. I have my son’s cat here. He and his GF found this poor little thing, badly, badly abused. She is such a sweetie, but still very timid and defensive. Can’t blame her though after what the poor little thing went through! I still miss having a dog and still want to get one. It’s been 3 1/2 years now without a dog. That’s too long for me. Although, the nice thing about cats, they are pretty self-sufficient and mine are very pleasant and sweet.

Thank you Lonewolf, of course my brother’s cat is still AWOL. There are buildings though and I saw him last weekend. I put his food on the front porch during the day, but I think he must be living off the field mice. Oh well, my brother said I could keep him outside. (We have skunks, so if he wants to eat it must be during the day.)

My show is on now. I’ll be in and out during commercial breaks.

Have Fun, All

I think all cats are sweet. I love dogs too, but have only had one dog that I remember.

The pet store I shop at has a big white cat named Charlotte who sits on the counter. She is a purring machine. She looks like a long haired Mua, and is about the same age.

Shika, That’s my bear from a very dear friend. She has her back turned to the public!

Shika I will probably be using some more panda bears later on.

Your bear from a very dear friend? You mean she lives with you?

Do you have a lot of Panda photos? They are cute.

Shika heaven’s no, you mean the bear? LOL!

Dry from your bear to my bare.

Cleo Let’s hoist a Bookers on that!

Dry You said “That’s *my* bear.” So I thought she lived with you.

Shika Just a few from my friend today in an email. But they are cute!

Dry that is exactly what I need right now. A tip of my glass as I toast “To you my dear.”

cleo Two bare bear behinds are too too much.

Shika are you talking about yours and Drys, because if you are they are both cute, a little fuzzy though.

I’m told that Koalas are not bears, but marsupials. Whatever I think they are cute!

This one has a job helping kangaroos cross the street!

I like Dry’s Panda though, even if it is camera shy.

Dinner time.

Time to do dishes then. I’ll catch you later Dry when I return for my night-time ritual.

You’ve got me counting lines, instead of reading comments! One person has 36 lines over on Agnes. Gee~Whiz!!!!!

Lot’s of Luv and Good Wishes, in case I don’t cross paths with you soon.

Cleo You are too sweet, my friend!

Shika my panda is not shy, she is making a statement! Get it? :-D

Shika Theyare marsupials and as cute as a button! Quantas airlines used to use them in their commercials, come to think of it, I haven’t seen a Quantas commercial in years, but then I don’t see that many commercials anymore. My cousin and her family went to Australia a few years ago, and she held one. She said it was adorable!

AAAAARRRRRRRRRR, all ye scurvy dogs!!!

Shiver me timbers, Ahoy comicaddict!

Ahoy, Carmy!! How be ye this fine evening??

Aye it be raining here and all is well!

AAAARRRRRRRRR, ‘twas sunny and 70 degrees where I be today!! A right fine day, indeed!

By the Powers! “twas a fine day indeed for ye, Matey!

AAAARRRRRRR, Carmy, ye be a right fine lassie, fer sure!

Pirate! How ye be?

It’s that time again, when you guys wake up, and I go bye-bye.

Anybody here?

Did ye sail off again Pirate?

Dry I do see that she is making a statement. She says it very well too.

(sweep, sweep)

(scrub, polish)

AAAAARRRRRRRR, Shika!!! I be here! How be ye tonight?

Hi Shika! I mean, Aarrr!

Hymenoxsis! Long time no sweep!

Howdy hymenoxis!

ARGHH! Pirate! I’m fine tonight, if a little sleepy.

Arghh Carmy Good to see ye too.

The place is looking a little cleaner now, don’t you think?

COMICADDICT! HOW YA’ DOIN’? YOU BEST BE TAKIN’ CARE OF THAT FAIR JOY OF OURS, SIR! LEST YE END UP WALKING THE PLANK!

Okay…for those of you who prepare or consume grits, be advised that, when dropped on our orange shag carpet, or left to dry on the card table that we use for breakfast, grits become rather rock-like.

What are you polishing Hymenoxsis?

Good evening, Hymenoxis

How are you doing,sir?

(chisel, hammer)

I think I had Grits once this week. I’ll make sure to remind the others.

That hard, eh?

AAAAARRRRRRRRR, hymenoxis, did ye put away all me empty RUM barrels?

Hymenoxis, I’ve got an air chisel with a portable air compressor. lol

Dry Do you know who you are talking too? Of course he is looking after Joy! Aren’t you Pirate?

Careful with that beautiful orange shag Hymenoxsis.

Shika, good to see you too! I kept missing you. Dry, I’ll help ye make the scurvy dog walk the plank if need be. Okay Hymenoxis, y’all watch those grits now, ya hear?

Hello all. Dinner and dishes are done. Just waiting on LilG* and her after dinner routine, before we watch a movie.

HI HY BLAME AKENTA FOR THE GRITS SPILL!

Oh, I guess a rip here and there adds to the ambiance of the place.

And that card table needs replacing anyways.

Ahoy Cleo!

AYE, Shika, indeed I be!! She be th’ light o’ me life!!

Carmy how are you this evening?

How is Joy, Pirate?

(Don’t poke a hole in the rum barrel, Hymenoxsis)

Cleo. so far so good. we had a nice dinner and watched some Kipper. Kipper the Dog. How about you?

Hi cleo How was dinner?

Is long as you are up hymenoxis another snifter of brandy would be nice. If you could just slide the bottle in my direction when you get done chiseling I would be most grateful and pour yourself a snifter if you choose.

How are you Hymenoxsis by the way?

(polishes brass monkeys, mable entryway, crystal ashtrays)

Shika dinner was wonderful. My wife made mushroom thyme risotto and served it with colossal prawns cooked with olive oil, garlic, and white wine. We also had perfectly cooked peas and one of my homemade baguettes, served with a 90+ rated chardonnay. Very nice.

I hate to be a party pooper, but I have to get to bed early tonight.

Have a good time guys. Nice to see some familiar faces again!

Come back real soon, ya hear?

Rum casks have their own aura. One knows, when approaching a rum cask, that it is a work of art. I’m quite aware of where my broom handles and mop heads are, relatively speaking.

Brass monkeys, who has brass monkeys?

(mop, swab)

Sounds delicious cleo

Nice work *HY*!

Good Night everyone!

Good night m’lord!

Party hearty, and sweet dreams after!

(Don’t you know where the brass monkeys are dry? Sheesh, look around, will you?)

Hee-hee!

AAAARRRRRRRRR, Shika, she be fine as frog’s hair! Who do ye think been drainin’ them thar RUM barrels?

cleo, would ye be happy wi’ some RUM instead?

(dust, arrange)

AAAARRRRRRRR, good night, Shika!! Sleep well, milady!

Dry, where be ye?

Good Night Shika!

I’m quite fond of rum, if we’re speaking of spirits. A fine drink, and easy next morning.

Do you need some help, Hymenoxis?

Less of a problem when lying on the beach next morning.

Always, Carmy….always.

Hymenoxis, are you going to hit the beach on Spring Break? Cowabunga!

I’m here Pirate!

I find Bourbon and Scotch leave me with issues, and even moreso gin….

comicaddict, if you have Barbancourt 15 year on board. I will take a snifter.

Carm…mamma’s hired a contractor, and they’re digging Monday to put in an effing swimming pool.

I used to like to go to South Padre and watch the young people, but not so much anymore. It’s all tattoos and thongs.

Hy Swimming pool? Oh you lucky dog you! And you don’t want one? Oh yeah, she puts it in and you have to maintain it. Got it! ( I think)

PIRATE calls for me, and now he’s gone! Cripes!

Seems to be the case. She’s taken my kitchen renovation money and dug a hole. I wanted a nice Viking cooker and some granite countertops, but was over-ridden.

AAAAAARRRRRRRR, cleo, we only have th’ very finest on board!

Dry, and how be ye tonight?

(mop, scrub)

Hymenoxis, you don’t want the swimming pool? Oh yes, Spring Break has really gone wild at SP and SPI. Dry, your Panda is HUGE!

Hymenoxis, I meant Corpus and Port Isabel.

Hy what can I say? You must be a generous man, sir!

Hy or madly in love! :-)

You’d think she would want a remade kitchen. I know I would.

carmy SP and SPI?What does that stand for?

Ay Pirate things be fine! Thanks for asking, though I could use a nice rum and coke!

Galveston and SPI have become a “don’t go there” place for us lately. T’was a time it was fun to watch the young people, but no more. They’re crazy these days.

SP - South Padre, SPI - South Padre Island, would be my guess.

Where is Cleo?

Dry, South Padre and South Padre Island. Basically the same thing. One part of the island is by Corpus Christi and the lower part is by Port Isabel.

Carmy ain’t she though? She is prepared for anything! You don’t mess with this Big Mama!

South Padre has a nude beach about 5 miles up the beach past the end of the road. You have to drive on the beach to get to it.

I haven’t been to Galveston in years, a lot of years.

Movie time. See ya all!

Dry, maybe she’s Kung Fu Panda! Cleo, get out! A nude beach? I didn’t know that, but of course you would. Snerk!

Enjoy the movie, Cleo!

Carmy Yes Cleo would KNOW about that, wouldn’t he? LOL! Kung Fu Panda? ROFLMAO! No, I do have Kung Fu Panda though! Thanks to my dear friend!

What happened to *Hy and Pirate**? Yea, they leave a mess and here we are!

My favorite bit of Galveston is “Colonel Bubbie’s”, a military surplus shop with cats wandering about the place and china from WWII destroyers. It’s a claustrophobic, mildew-smelling, lovely place for folks that like that sort of thing.

A mess?

I ain’t cleaning no mess! Maybe we can get a fire hose and just wash it all away.

(scrub, sweep)

(wipe, disinfect)

Don’t use a fire hose…it takes days for the carpet to dry.

(high pressure hose, high pressure hose)

Oops! (dry vac, dry vac)

Hy If there is history there, I will endure the musty smell. I love history, always have! All time periods. That also happened to be my best subject in school, straight A’s always. I hope some time soon to get back to reading some good old history stories, My favorite time periods were the Revolutionary War, Civil War and WW2 and anything about the American Indians.

Carmy what did you spill, girl? Okay, what can I do to help? PLEASE say “Stay our of my way!” LOL!

Dry, I used a high pressure water hose to clean up. Hymenoxis was worried about the wet carpet so I got the vac out to get rid of the water. Did you read the above comments? Skerk!

Dry-

It’s a fascinating place. I found a complete set of Cheif”s mess china from a WWII destroyer, but was foolish and didn’t buy it.

I wear an East German camoflage jacket that I bought there for ten bucks…

(sweep, sweep)

Hymenoxis, was it some nice looking china?

AAAAAARRRRRRRR, Dry, here be yer RUM & Coke!

*Hy *sounds like you passed up a good deal! I do that too sometimes. I was googling the East German jacket, because I’m not familiar with that. From the ‘60’s? Which tyoe was it? I saw 2, one true camoflage and one just a dull looking green.

Thank you so much Pirate! Been waiting long enough, though!

AAAAARRRRRRR, sorry fer th’ slow service, Dry! I be tendin’ ta Joy’s need fer RUM!

Back just in time to see you fine folks off towards the crossover.

Falling asleep here. I’m not going to make it to the turnover. Good Night Dry, Commic and Hymenoxis!

Good night Carmy. Hello cleo, Dry & all.

I woke up in time for the cross-over.

Hello Grog. So many here seem to be able to nap. I feel miserable if I try.

I nodded off around 8:30 locally cleo. I needed it, but I slept so long I wouldn’t call that a nap exactly.

I feel much better now!

I like Galveston. I have been there several times, to my cousin’s weekend home and also to board a cruise ship. Some good restaurants as well.

And now you’ll be up all night, Grog!

Howdy Dry.

PIrate NO WONDER IT TOOK SO LONG! :-D

Not if I drink enough Bud, Dry.
