Hey, Sojo………………..just caught a look this afternoon of the Old Faithful shot……..notice the benches in front of the geyser…..they are almost completely covered with snow…..and they are about 2 feet tall!!!!!!

This has been quite the storm! So glad we are out of it for a while. Just hope it’s gone when we need to drive home. :)))))))))

Montana Lady, weren’t you planning to stay for Easter?

Sir Lew?

I didn’t mean to scare you off you can be grumpy at everyone if you want to be. You weren’t mean about it or anything. We understand.

Good Morning, Montana Lady.

I LOVE my family…….but, being in this megalopolis is just …………………unbearable!!!!!!!!!!

Montana Lady, I’m with you on not enjoying this city stuff like I do the open areas. But as long as my mother is still here, I have to wait. :^)

Good Morning, Little Sister, ♠Lonewolf♠, Sojourner, Duckie One & MontanaLady

Blood tests this morning. I just love getting needled.

Good Morning, Tribe!

Good Morning, Grog. Good luck.

GOOD MORNIN’ Lonewolf, MyLittleSister,Sojourner, LoversDucky, Montana Lady and GROG!

Morning All!

I hear ya Montana Lady - I was raised in Southern Alberta about 30 min from Montana, and spent 18 months in the LA valley.

Good morning all. After yesterday’s migraine and the accompanying nausea, I’d like to order one of everything for breakfast please, LS.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

Montana Lady - I’ve been checking different web cams at Yellowstone and it’s sure changed a lot in a week. At least 2 feet of snow or more some areas.

Hello all at BT taking a short break before getting back to work on two subjects. Local Jr. classes on fall break until Dec 1st. All my tests are updated. Tests are up and down not sure of passing yet then there will be a lot of reading time for finals.

Show I watch Dancing With the Stars ends today. For some of you not interested like me I’m not interested in Football so that will be a good time for me to work. Dancing I believe comes on twice a year they work hard. One of the celebs of the finals works with Disney productions.

I noticed one was talking about sinus problems. Well for me I have to wash mine out with distilled water and salt solution each day. My nasal is off up for smells. There are scents people noticed I can’t smell. With an exception I have no problem with skunk smells or some perfumes.

Good Morning Kab - I hope you do well with finals! :-)

Good Morning Doctor Toon - Getting closer to T-Day!

Good Morning, he says, bright and early.

Well, it’s bright out with all that fresh snow…

For Breakfast, may I have: Bacon & Eggs (eggs over easy, with toast on the side) My own cup of cheap mint mocha V8 Vegetable Juice (Yum! Compliments to the chef!)

Yes, especially to Sojo, Kab Buch, & DocT!

Almost any Cool Whip is too much, to my taste. I prefer virtually all desserts without it. If the dessert needs topping of that sort, a nice ball of ice cream does the trick much better.

Good Morning bmonk!

Daaaaa Strip: Hmmmm—I’ll take the clubs!

It reminds me of a melodrama we did at Camp a few times–ending with the stereotypical choice for the hero among being tied to the train track (“Oh, NO!” , run through the buzz saw (a hand-cranked beater, “Oh NO!”), and marrying “Sweet Nell”… (“I’ll take the buzz saw!”)

Have a good sleep Doctor Toon.

Good Afternoon, Tribeandall.

I’m with you on the Cool Whip, bmonk. The only thing I put whipped cream on is Irish Coffee on St. Patrick’s Day.

Good Afternoon Grog!

Hi, Sojourner.

Whipped Cream and Cool Whip are not the same thing at all. Have you guys ever read the ingredients on a container of Cool Whip? It has been a long time since I have but I don’t even think it is a dairy product.

Hi, tribe! bmonk - Last Christmas, I introduced my sons to Mythbusters. We were at my in-laws without a whole lot of entertainment options other than cable TV. (Not even internet!) There happened to be a Mythbusters marathon, so we watched several episodes. My son has figured out how to watch it via the internet, so they’ve probably watched every episode by now. Oh, and I agree, vanilla ice cream is a much better topping than whipped cream.

Hello Luv Is Duckie and Rmom!

cream, sugar, vanilla ~ whip to desired consistency

keep that ice cream away from my pumpkin pie

It may not be the same thing, Duckie One, but I only have one use for whipped cream.

Hi, Sojo, Luv & Grog! Grog - I think I know better than to ask what that one use is. SNERK!

Good afternoon Tribesters

Lunch time!

And some music

Actually someone played it earlier. :^)

If I did’t know any better, I’d say you have a dirty mind, Rmom. But that one thing is explained on the previous page - in the event you do.

Good Afternoon ♠Lonewolf♠ - Normal lunch time!

Hi, Rmom & Grog. I’ll send one vote for the “dirty mind”!

Hi, Sojo. Pretty much normal for me these days.

Hi, ♠Lonewolf♠. I’ll have to go along with you on that.

Grog - Uh, yeah, well, my kids accuse me of having both a dirty mind and a bad memory. I guess the evidence points that direction…

Which direction???

Headed back out to work. Be back in a few hours.

P&L

Wolfie - That I forgot what Grog said his one use for whipped cream is, and made an embarrassing guess.

Good Afternoon Sojo, Rmom, Grog, Lonewolf and Bmonk

Rmom, maybe if you cleaned your mind, you would be able to find your memories? (muffled giggling)

Luv - Clean? I think I forgot how to do that.

You get the boys to do the cleaning, Rmom?

Grog - Only to load & unload the dishwasher, and take out the trash. Any other cleaning gets done by me, but it usually takes company coming to motivate me unless it gets so bad I can’t stand it. My cleaning philosophy is that it has to be dirty enough before I clean it, that my family will notice that I cleaned it, even if they didn’t watch me.

It works for me, Rmom

Grog - I have a refrigerator magnet that says, “Dull Women Have Immaculate Houses” Let’s just say, I don’t get accused of being dull.

(Heheh)

The author of that epigram may well have been a fellow ENFP (it’s an excuse I find handy myself).

ENFJs tend to have immaculate houses, yet I have yet to meet a dull one.

(at the risk of typecasting)

At least I know where everything is, to the nearest layer of the nearest pile. :)

Greetings TRIBE. I’m going to try to get on again with the old computer. I’ve been trying for the last few days with only very limited success on my laptop.

If this works, I’m going to say Hi.

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why can’t I get on with my laptop? It’s brand new.

Hello Johanan and serenasakitty!

serenasakitty - That is interesting. Maybe you could compare the internet settings between the two?

Serenasakitty, maybe take it where you bought it and ask for help, if checking the settings doesn’t work. There are usually a bunch of help destructions on your computer too.

I can post on several other strips with no problem with my laptop, but not very often on this one. Is it trying to tell me to quit spending so much time here and get something done?

I’ll have to finish unpacking and sorting all my boxes to find the destructions [Luv it]. But tomorrow is the greatest labor-saving device ever invented. :>)

Hi, Johanan & serena! Johanan - I took the quiz the other week when the topic came up, but I can’t remember what it said I was. I know it started with E, because I’m an extrovert. Other than that, I forgot.

BBL

POOF!

Good evening Tribe!

Home for the day. Not going to pool either. Just don’t feel up to it today. Thursday is Thanksgiving so no pool that night and Saturday is James’ B-day so I might not go to pool Saturday afternoon either!

Hello Everyone! :-)

Hi, Li’l Sister

Hi, Wolfie & Lil’ Sis! Wolfie - Are you not feeling well, or just not in the mood for pool?

My hubby & I are still trying to decide where we want to eat tomorrow evening. It will be our 26th anniversary.

Happy Early Birthday James :-)

Happy 26th anniversary Rmom. :-)

Happy birthday James for Saturday.

Happy anniversary, Rmom.

May both of your special days be the best ever.

Hi, Rmom. Not feeling like I should lately.

Have to go now, so I’ll see everyone later.

Lonewolf I hope your feeling better soon.

See you later serenasakitty.

Thanks everyone! See you later, serena! Wolfie - I hope you get feeling better soon!

Wolfie - I hope you’re monitoring whatever the docs have been telling you to do. My hubby & I are going to do most of our celebrating Saturday evening. We’re taking a defensive pistol class together - taught by a husband & wife team who have been our instructors before.

Hi, Serena. Thank you. Good to see you stopping by!

We’ve missed you. :^)

Happy Anniversary, Rmom.

Thanks, Wolfie! How old is James going to be?

That sounds like fun Rmom.

Hey I made 101……..So where are my Dalmatian Puppies at

D a r n you Cruella De vil! You’re going down along with the Clownfia.

Now where did I put my Potato Launcher?

Wow! I didn’t know that D A R N was a bad word here. It bleeeped my first attempt.

Lil’ Sis - I think we’ll enjoy it. I took a Ladies’ class which I think covers the same things from them this summer. I could tell my hubby was a wee bit jealous, so when I saw this class offered, I suggested it to him. There is a little bit of classroom time, but most of the time is hands-on shooting while they watch and instruct. Pretty fun stuff!

If I try to say d a r n backwards without spacing would it still get bleeeped. Let’s find out………………………….

uɹɐp

Yay! it didn’t bleeep. :-)

Have a good time Rmom. 26 years, now that is something special.

Lil’ Sis - I know there are tricks to get around the nannybot. But Luv has coined “mendasock” since darn usually gets bleeped.

Yeah! mendasock sounds cool too.

Rmom, he will be 15 Saturday.

Lil’ Sis - There were some rough years during those 26, but thanks to God and counseling, we’re doing much better now. Wolfie - I was going to guess 16, and James probably wishes that was so. Of course, it depends on the DL laws in your state. They’ve changed them here, so it isn’t as easy for a 16 yr old to get a DL now.

It’s not as easy here either Rmom, but he will have it at 16. I’ll make sure he is ready.

I just moved a bunch of pics out of a private album into a public one. They are pics I took on our property or nearby (except for the satellite view). Look in River Ridge public. My hubby found one that an airplane pilot took recently, I need to get that uploaded too.

Happy Aniversary, Rmom

And in case I forget Saturday, (likely) Happy Birthday, James

It’s strange. Sometimes D A R N gets bleeeped and sometimes it doesn’t

That’s different, Li’l Sister!

Hi, Grog. How’s your vacay coming along?

Minus the needling!

Not much of a vaca, so far, ♠Lonewolf♠. Dentist Monday morning and plumber in the afternoon. The lab this morning and the same plumber this afternoon…and the plumber will be back tomorrow morning - hopefully for the last time. It ruined my plans for tomorrow.

BUbble Text But you still got to add the # symbol just to read it here.

Lil’ Sis - That’s different - how’d you do it? Thanks, Grog! Wolfie - KS just changed their laws, and so they didn’t affect our sons or our plans. Therefore, I can’t remember the changes, but I know it is still possible to get one at 16, just harder and with more restrictions.

Grog - - Sorry to hear about your week off not being much of a vacay.

http://www.bubbleballtext.com/ is where I did it.

Grog - That’s the pits! But my hubby’s last vacation was almost that bad. I don’t think he had any medical or dental appointments, but he was pretty busy working around here. At least I can be here if we need outside contractors come, so he doesn’t have to take off work for that.

No! No needles!

Ⓖⓡⓞⓖ

(Giggling!)

(Burst out laughing)

♪♫Tiny Bubbles….♪♫

I now have the sudden urge to pop bubbles.

Keep the needles away from Little Sister

OOOOOH! But I want to have fun. Just one pop…..Please!

See what you started, Li’l Sister! LOL

Hi & Bye, Doc. Catch you on the flip side!

Nooo!!!

I started it!

No way!

I’m Innocent! It’s not my fault.

Of course not (shakes head in disbelief)

Bed time for Groggy

Gunite all

Good night, Grog! Looks at clock, decides I’d better start heading to bed myself Good night, everyone!

Good evening every one. You amaze me Little Sister first time I ever heard of bubble text.

I am currently watching what some of you could care less about my favorite for now DWTS. Down to the last three.

Happy BD to Lonewolf’s son James.

Happy 26th Anniversary Rmom and hubby.

Good Night, Grog.

Good Night, Rmom.

Hi, Kab. Thank you on James’ behalf. :^)

Rmom when you read this did you celebrate last year with a 25th? I didn’t read BT too much then. Others strips yes. As a matter of fact we have been in this house soon next year for four years on Easter Weekend. With no vacation away time has gone.

Lonewolf I hope you do something special for James birthday 15 or will he turn 16. Been a long time since our son was that age he is 28 now. And as I said his dad’s idea was naming him James. Is grandma going to help also with grandson birthday to and especially wow around Thanksgiving weekend.

I’ll be back on in a little while.

If you all have memory does BT calm down close or on Thanksgiving?

Lonewolf I hear major snowstorm is heading your way. I dread here when a major storm hits more car accidents people forget how to drive.

Kab, James will be 15 Saturday.

It’s about the same, maybe a little slower here at BT, Kab.

I haven’t heard about a snow storm for this area, Kab.

I heard through national news this morning on GMA. When working on studies I don’t listen too much.

We had our first one though very minor but big flakes days ago shocked a lot of people for first snow here locally. I imagine Rmom talked about this to.

ⓟⓞⓟ!

Well I guess I had better turn in. My hubby is getting used to cooking already has sweet patatoe caserol done. Not the type with marshmallows either but a crunchy topping. Sadly though I will be making a dark chocolate pie for two of our visitors likes deep chocolate. I may have to pass this up bothers my nerves. And I break out. There will be fruit pies. I will work on regular potatoes Thurs that will be easy. For us less strain since we don’t have to travel.

Good night all.

Hi and Bye Kab.

Good Night, Kab.

?EREH ESLE NO YNA

Yes, Sojo. What? You can’t see my posts?? LOL

Not when I first posted it! (Took me awhile.) :-)
