Breakfast menu to follow……………………………

Good Morning ♠Lonewolf♠!

I’ll have a four cheese omelet with diced ham & green onions, sausage patties and a piece of chocolate cake please.

Good Morning Johanan!

Maybe the clubs would’ve been more effective… only they probably are fake too. (We hope.)

Good night, all!

Good Night Johanan!

Hello to all those here!

Good Morning, Sojourner

Good Morning Grog!

Good morning and thanks, tribe! Kab - Cute turkey! To answer your question, last year my hubby & I went out of town and stayed in a nice hotel room for a couple of nights. Just a quiet, romantic celebration. Unfortunately, since our anniversary landed on Thanksgiving, we were limited on our dining choices that evening.

Good Morning KaB, (great gobbler picture)Grog, Sojourner, Lonewolf and any out there hanging around

Saw some great basketball in Kansas City and glad to be home! Now to do some things for Thanksgiving at Son’s home.

Good Morning, Rmom & HopeandJoy

Good Morning Kab, Rmom and HopeandJoy!

Good morning, Hope&Joy, Grog & Sojo!

Hi and Bye Doctor Toon - Have a nice Thanksgiving!

Thanks, Doc! Have a great Thanksgiving!

Have a Good Thanksgiving, Doctor Toon and anyone who won’t be around tomorrow.

The plumber is due to arrive shortly (again). Be back later.

Have a good day, everone.

See you later Grog.

Rmom!!! Just saw your post.

A Happy Anniversary, dear person, and your hubby love.

Hi Doc Toon May you and your family enjoy Thanksgiving together!!

Thanks, Hope&Joy! It has been tricky some years finding time to celebrate since it is so close to (or on) Thanksgiving. But with his current job, that has made it easier for him to have a few days off to come home, without having to use vacation days. And since both of my parents are deceased, we don’t have the family obligations like we used to. (His parents live in FL, and his only sibling is in SD.)

Good for you! Glad it will work out as I know you cherish your days together and take each opportunity you are given to have time together. Enjoy!

It helps that our boys are old (& responsible) enough to leave at home without supervision. Now, we just have to figure out what we want to do, and can afford.

Years ago we had our 25th anniversary very small turn out and where we use to live and was advertised in paper no one acknowledge our aniversary. When our parents had there we had it at their home 200 showed up not all at once and my idiot sister headed off with friends. Ours was years ago.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, RMOM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES ENJOY

Hello Frankr!

HAPPY ANIVERSARY

Rmom & husband

Hello Sojo, and ever’body

Thanks, Kab & Frankr! Kab - My parents had a big reception for their 25th & 50th anniversaries. However, they had a surprise wedding with no reception, so Mom was making up for that. (They got married during WW2, she wasn’t pregnant.) We’ve gone to one 25th reception for friends, but decided that wasn’t what we wanted to do to celebrate. Mostly because I’d have to do all the work, as my sons wouldn’t have the first idea how to go about planning one. I had hoped we could take a longer, nicer trip than we did, but between work responsibilities and finances, that just wasn’t possible.

Good afternoon Tribeandall

Early lunch today, but I’m thinking it’ll be a long afternoon for me! :^(

Happy Anniversary Rmom. We are celebrating my parent’s 50th next week. Bro. & sis are flying in from out of state for the night and we are doing a nice restaurant for dinner. Mom and dad are talking about maybe taking a short trip, but haven’t decided yet.

Hi, HopeandJoy, Kab, Rmom, Sojo, Grog, Frankr & Doc!

I see the “troll” has been lurking as our menu has disappeared once again. So sad…………………….

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Doc!

Hi, Ladyhawk!

Happy 50th Anniversay to your parents. So great to hear when they stay together that long!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, too!

Hello ♠Lonewolf♠ and Ladyhawk!

Happy 50th Anniverary to yor parents also Ladyhawk and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Back to the grind stone. Hopefully no later than 6 or so! (fingers and toes crossed)

P&L

Have a Happy Birthday, James We can tell your Dad is very proud of you.

Good to see you Frankr and LadyHawk

Here is another Happy 50th Anniversary wish to your parents! (If I could do a pretty picture for them, I would)

Just a few more hours, Lonewolf

Good Afternoon, Tribe and All!

Oh, no! The Rubber Chicken!

Hello bmonk!

Ⓣⓘⓝⓨ ⓑⓤⓑⓑⓛⓔⓢ ⓘⓝ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓦⓘⓝⓔ…

Hey, this is kinda fun.

Interesting that the all caps (5 #s) turns the bubble text into all caps in their bubbles…

bmonk - You might check what an un-loged in person sees vs. what you see.

@Sojo, logged out looked like logged in for me–without the pale green box. The bubble text was still all caps and red.

bmonk - Odd, I see a letter in the first bubble but the rest are empty.

             

Rmom & Rdad!!!

It reads:

Tiny bubbles in the wine…

or: Tiny bubbles in the wine…

Hi, Duckie Luv

Have a Good Afternoon & Evening Everyone!

Rmom, at the very least, hand holding, kissing, hugging and affectionate pats whenever the children can see you.

Hello Luv Is Duckie!

bmonk - Use # in front and enlarge, maybe *.s to bold etc.

Hi Bmonk

I watched TV!!! It sucks you in! I now understand why alcohol is good for colds. They said stress makes it easier to get sick and harder to get better. Since people reduce stress by drinking they get better faster. Wonder how much I need to drink?

Hi Sojo

@Sojo, I have tried a few combos–enough to make me think I know how it works…

bmonk - I had problems with upside down and backwards text not always working right. Sometime I’ll play around with it more.

Phfft!

@Duckie–you know that TV is bad for your eyes!

Hi everyone. Just a quick buzz through to see who’s here. RL is taking longer than I thought but I took a couple of minutes anyway. So there.

I went to the site for bubbleletters, but how do I transfer what I write to here?

Computer Dummies of the world, UNITE. IT’S NO FUN NOT KNOWING HOW TO DO STUFF.

Hey bmonk I saw Tiny Bubbles in the Wine just fine….and since I don’t have a glass of wine, I am worried that I see bubbles but no matter.

good afternoon Luv is Duckie It certainly is.

Hello serenasakitty - Copy and paste. :-)

@serenasakitty, I just use copy text–run the mouse over the text to highlight it, right click and “copy”, then get the cursor into the comment box here and “paste”.

Then you can add #s and other formatting as desired…

Something is wrong with my display, res. or whatever then.

I agree Serenasakitty I need someone to walk me through step by step and not sure that is possible. A new book for Dummies…like How to do computer stuff for Dummies…

I had that book a long time ago. Today that one wouldn’t be any good. LOL

@HopeandJoy, I’m sure you can get it online…

Did my explanation make any sense? (bottom of last page)

Whoever heard of being in a Tornado watch with Thunderstorms and 60ish temps in late November?

Lovely Bmonk, that might explain the itching.

Hello Serenasakitty & HopeandJoy

Be careful to only unite with genuine Computer Dummies. There are imitation Computer Dummies out there too. It is a shame people have to go and ruin our good name.

Sojo I didn’t see any explanation from you at the bottom of last page but I saw a bmonk explanation. I have tried to copy and paste before without success at this site but I can do it in other places…..as usual, I don’t have time to mess with it now! It is not your fault…it is MINE. I go to make some cornbread stuffing to mingle in the fridge overnight with other flavors etc. *: )

@HopeandJoy, I remember a tornado watch like that in early November a few years back about 50-100 miles east of here, and the tornadoes were heading to the Northwest! (five touchdowns, IIRC)

HopeandJoy -

ⒶⓃⓎⓉⒾⓂⒺ!

Luv is Duckie That book was a name I just made up about How to do computer stuff for Dummies. If one has that title, I didn’t know it…..just making nonsense, fun talk.

HopeandJoy - Years ago they had it. If they are still publishing those books it would have to be an updated version from what I had or it wouldn’t be any good.

bmonk Sorry, I was confused about who/whom had made the comment about explanations. It was you, and not Sojo but Sojourner has been good to offer help before.

I have basketballs bouncing in my head and in front of my eyes but will return to “normal” soon, perhaps.

Very clever circles and letters, Sojo I think you are showing off!!! *: )

Thanks. I am talking to much and the stuffing is calling.

Happy Day of being Grateful to all.

During this coming holiday please remember that it will end eventually. A jail term for making your relative be quiet for longer than thirty seconds might be thirty years. A glass of wine with dinner will help counteract food poisoning. Line your pockets and purses with handy sandwich bags for those ‘special’ dishes. Take pictures of embarassing moments to share with your friends here under the Big Top. Oh! They will never know for sure it wasn’t an accident.

HopeandJoy - bmonk and others here know more than I do. I wish I was more up on things.

Sojo - Have you looked outside recently? There is an absolutely gorgeous sunset tonight!

Good evening, tribe.

Happy anniversary Rmom.

Happy birthday, James.

All I see in the “bubble text” is empty squares.

Sorry HopeandJoy, Serenasakitty’s comment reminded me that though there are plenty of us that really are dumb or at least a little lost about our computers; there are others who pretend so they don’t have to do things for themselves. I was trying to say it in a funny way and failed.

Luv - I greatly enjoyed your suggestions! I’ll make sure to torment my sons by PDA with my hubby. I could have used your other suggestions in previous years, but if we end up going to visit my in-laws, I’ll try to remember.

Hello Saucy!

Rmom - I did get a quick look outside!

Sojo - It was going away, but since you’re a little west, I hoped it would still be pretty for you.

Rmom - I think I saw some of it before your post, it was all a bright red!

If you want to see more beautiful pictures from where i live, go here. The ones I just took are on page 5 of the album.

Hello everybody :-)

Very beautiful Rmom :-)

Hello Little Sister!

Ladyhawk - Congratulations to your parents! My parents were married for 58 years when my Dad died. Hope&Joy - In the storm spotter classes I’ve taken, they say tornadoes can & have happened in every month of the year. I think my area was at least under a tornado watch sometime last January. Well, I need to chat with my hubby, and figure out where we’re going to eat tonight. Especially before we stuff ourselves with the fresh hot rolls I just finished baking.

Hello Sojo

Have a good time Rmom.

Little Sister - Will you prepare for tomorrow by skipping supper tonight?

Well No. But I will not eat very much tonight.

I viewed your whole album Rmom. All your pictures are spectacular.

If I use IE then all I see are empty squares instead of bubble text. Weird isn’t it. I don’t use IE8 unless I have to.

Sometimes I see it okay and sometimes not. I am using IE8.

Good evening Tribesters!

Man, it is good to be home! I have been running all afternoon. Ugh!

One of my promised photos of what’s growing in our patio…

Another…

(and may that be suitable compensation for having our menus removed for no good cause)

Glad your finally done ♠Lonewolf♠!

Nice photo Johanan!

Very nice photos today. :-)

Hi, Sojo, Li’l Sister & Johanan

Me too, Sojo. Thanks!

Hi Big Brother. :-)

Beautiful JR very lovely flowers.

LuvYou said it just fine and I didn’t get it. I just learn as I go and need to just plot out an afternoon to pay attention.

Rmom Wonderful colors, RMom in your sunset. We are no longer in a tornado “anything” It is south in Benton. The only thing ahead for us is possibly some a band of icy “something” in early morning in a small band that includes us. That may change, I hope.

James has asked me to tell everyone ”THANK YOU” for the birthday wishes. Yes, I am proud of him!

Glad you are here, Little Sis Good you are here too,Lonewolf

Think I will go see what kind of team Memphis has for awhile.

I’ll Be back on later.

Hi, HopeandJoy. Good to “see” you, too!

I’ll be watching the Bulls later this evening. They are on the west coast playing against Phoenix.

Go Bulls!

I got to see Coach K get his 800th win at Duke last night.

Hello Tribe

Looks like I’ve been checking the wrong pond, no spammers but a I-don’t-have-an-imagination-so-I’ll-flag-everything-which-cannot-be-seen/felt/smelled/tasted/heard TROLL

We in the Big Top like our menu and virtual meals. If you don’t like it go to an editorial cartoon because the rest of the comics are definitely requiring imagination.

That’s quite an accomplishment, HopeandJoy!

Good evening, Quaby. I second your thoughts!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I will have an extremly relaxing day. My sister/hubby are bring main course of turkiey I think ham plus other tasty dishes. Bad part she can’t have on caffeen or anything with acids. I don’t have to prepare too much and it will be bitter cold am.

Curious for those bubbles once say I type words do you copy and paste which seems hard way to comments? How does one type upside down? All new to me. My parents never reached 50 years. They celbrated 11 years ago 45 in MICU unit then month later my dad went heavenly home. He knew it was coming months before then his last Thanksgiving.

Hi, Kab.

You have big plans with family for Thanksgiving? Your son James looking forward to his big birthday.

How does one type upside down and backwards my thinking process can’t conceive this?

Hello Kab - Same site for bubble text has a tab at top for upside down text. Here

We will spend half of the day with Wolfangil’s mother and the other half with my mother.

James is looking forward to his B-day!

Kab, here is the link for upside down text.

http://www.upsidedowntext.com/

Hi to all BT Family from your long-lost cousin-poster. May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow filled with small joys and minimal frustrations!

Hi, Celecca!!! Good to see you here!

And a Happy Thanksgiving to you to! Please stop by more often.

Hi, celecca! Thanks for the compliment, Lil’ Sis! - I told my son that at least some of my “invisible friends” enjoy my sunset pictures, even if he doesn’t. Hope&joy - All I can tell is that the storms seem to be coming from Tulsa, and heading NE. I’m glad they are missing you. I stopped at the library today, and with this cold front moving through, I think curling up in the recliner under a quilt and reading a good book sounds great! I should be fairly busy in the kitchen tomorrow, but since it is MY kitchen and no guests, I’ll try to sneak away occasionally.

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

Hello celecca! Ditto to you!

Hey Lonewolf! I got out of the habit of stopping by when my time on the site didn’t coincide with anyone else’s. I miss people here!

Rmom - I have 10 new library books and a four day weekend. Oh rapture! Oh joy!

Good Evening, Tribeandall

Beautiful photos, Rmom & Johanan

celecca - Good avatar for Thanksgiving!

I love the snoop-master. He’s on tomorrow night.

Gonna run. VI Warshawski is waiting

BBL - maybe even in time for breakfast

Hi, Rmom, Sojo & Grog!

We miss you too, Celecca. :^)

Rmom and Celecca I agree a book, a blanket and a comfey chair sounds just right. One day soon!! Glad you have some library books plus the 4 day weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving, Grog Hope the Cowboys win for you!

I used to have that movie, celecca

TCM is currently playing It Happened One Night. I love that movie.

Hi, ♠Lonewolf♠, Sojourner & Rmom

Hello All!

Have fun, Celecca!

Hi Hopeandjoy. Happy Thanksgiving to you.

Asking the Cowboys to win 3 in a row may be a bit too much to ask for though. If the Saints win, it won’t bother me. Losing to divisional rivals does bother me.

I am now watching a guy on TCM, (a special short) who has never carved a turkey. Hillarious!!!

Hello I have been watching TV and tapes. Some shows I had to wait on and more importantly pleasure reading books. Curiosty Celecca and Rmom what type of books do you read? Me I like romance books, though at garage sales people have odd taste. I finished with one book called The Oath. I don’t remember the author but was rivited highly interesting untill the end where the end tied into the beggining and no I didn’t cheat. If I read at the end from the beggining would not make much sense.

Soon will be bed time since I will be up early anyway to make two entres. Everyone includes me though I have to stay away from it dark chocolate pie with gramham cracker. The prepare potatoes for mashed potatoes.

Hi Kab. Until you showed it was very quiet here.

I don’t know if I’ll be back on tonight so I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all our American friends a very

#####HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I am very thankful for all the friends I’ve found here, even the ones who seldom or never come to BT anymore. I guess I’m just feeling a bit nostalgic tonight.

Good to see you hang around for a while, Serena. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a good Thanksgiving Day serenasakitty!

Happy Thanksgiving, serena

Well, I think I’ll call it a night. I want to get an early start to the day.

And if I don’t see you tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving, Tribeandall

Good Night Grog - Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Night, Grog.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving my friend!

It will be 13 in the morning we are told!! Be prepared Lonewolf for some more cold weather.

Nitey-nite (is what I told my kids) Happy Dreams. hummm, a chocolate pie, Kab just a wee sliver tho’

Well hello everyone.

Good Night HopeandJoy.

Welcome back Little Sister!

Good Night, HopeandJoy. I’m turning the waterbed up for sure!

Hey there, Li’l Sister

Quiet night, everybody must be getting ready for Thanksgiving.

Supposed to be 36° and rain tonight, but snow and rain mix tomorrow!

That’s downright cold Big Brother.

Tomorrow night it should get down to the teens here. I went to the store late this afternoon and the cold front started to come through right after I got back. It dropped more than 10° in 20 min. and is still cooling down. Thank goodness for global warming! :-)

Not as cold as where HopeandJoy is, Li’l Sister!

Still cold is cold.

Almost time for turnover.

Are you doing breakfast?

Yes.

I can hardly wait!

Cool!!!
