Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for October 25, 2012

You can’t teach that. It’s a gift.

Good Morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

Fergus and Mel: This is the place to be….

Good morning, CDers!!

(Beyond my pumpkin-carving skills…)

@ Dry

Are you having any better luck at Photobucket? Did you see my comment to you yesterday?

good morning people and pets.happy, happy, happy!!!

I can just hear all that snow falling at once! Poor Mel! Go in and sit by the fire. Fergus will make you a cup of hot cocoa.

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie and Lingee, happy, jessee, mightaswellbe, and Stel!*

stel, I couldn’t find what you were talking about. I saw no where that said you could access the old photobucket. I don’t want to create an account. How private is it?

Oh, and I LOVE the dog and cats by the fire! That will be an avatar for me for sure one day.

This is rare, a Sunday strip we can read quite well.

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo, StelBel, happyathome & all CDers out there.

Oh, drat not being able to edit! That should read : I love youR new avatar!!!

Well,finally a skill that I am good at; building a dandy fire.

Good morning to the fire place hugging Citizens of Dog.

i may have a real problem.only time will tell.i tweaked my back this morning getting mom into her chair in the living room.real problem.

Number Six were you hacking into my computer? ;-D

Okay I opened a stupid photobucket accunt and I STILL can’t copy anything to here, not the way I used to do it. Now what, Stel and sugie? :-(

That should be account.

happy yea but it’s not much help!

Dry I think Six was referring to the correction of your first spelling. I didn’t notice the first time around. Second time around Oh My. How do you really feel about Photobucket?:-D

Good evening kids. Hope you all had a good one today..You better have more matches Mel. Uh Mel?

Wow nighthawks your neighbors must LOVE you.

And yet the dump that was posted the other day is still standing. Go figure.

@happyThat doesn’t sound good. Backs usually take awhile to recover, if they do. Hopefully you can get some help for awhile. It would be prudent to see a chiropractor.

@nighthawksYour fire building skills are more adventurous than mine.

Is anybody else having a hit and miss attempt at replying to comments by using the reply feature?

I have for the past few days, cleo.

You better take it easy, happy. Get some help for mom.

Hi folks. Hope I haven’t missed too much.

(((((((happy)))))))) Take care of yourself. You can’t do this with a bad back.

Fergus isn’t very subtle when he talks, is he? Snow dumps can be huge.

Hi Grog! I replied to you at OB. Just having some fun!!

Fellow Baby, if what I read today holds true, Frankenstorm may be headed your way. I don’t think anyone near the east coast is safe from this. Could end up be a combination of rain and snow and will hang up for several days. They say it probably won’t clear out until Nov. 2.

You, StelBel and everyone else on or near the east coast stay safe.

Dry what your typing before you get flagged, lol

Is it really called Franenstorm, Grog?

cleo, I know you can build a better fire than Mel. But then, I think you use a fireplace, don’t you?

I must be invisible here. It happens sometimes.

BBL

But they called it Frankenstorm

Sorry, Shika, but I was multi-tasking as I often do. I had to check out some lab test results and wanted to do the online HSA open enrollment, but it wasn’t working. Of course, I could have enrolled to an FSA, but I don’t want that.

I replied to you six at C & H.

What is HSA and FSA? Saving accounts of some sort?

Are you Dr. Jekyll or Dr. Frankenstein Grog? What lab results?

Health savings accounts, Shika The HSA is an account that you can build funds in over time up to retirement, while paying current medical bills not covered by insurance.

With both accounts there are annual contribution limits, however the money put into the FSA in the current year must be spent in the current year or they are forever lost.

I went to the doctor yesterday and he took some lab tests. He also gave me some meds for diverticulitis. They are antibiotics that can make you drowsy. I may be turning in early tonight as a result.

Falling asleep while watching the football game is sounding pretty good right now. I think I’ll do just that.

Good night, CDers.

Oh and one last parting remark before I go. Windows 8 was launched today. There’s no way I will ever willingly upgrade to that operating system. At least not on my computer. After all, it’s a computer, not an iPad.

Happy, who is that man in the picture you posted above, sitting in a chair? He looks familiar.

im getting no help with mom tonight.my sister and her husband both have a flue bug.they offer to have one of my nephews come over and help get mom in bed but warned that he would not be able to help with anything “personal” because it would be out of his “comfort zone”.i told her to forget it.i got mom out of her easy chair and onto the commode and then into the wheel chair by siting in front of her in an office chair, having mom hang onto my neck and lifting with my shoulders and arms.i got her pants changed and into the wheelchair one step at a time.ill get her into bed the same way.by thinking the problem through, taking into consideration what my tools are. and getting it done.with or without help.

I just reread that “spelling error” Yes I can see where it could suggest something risque. Oh dear!

But I do need some expert advice on the new Photobucket! Where is x-Tech when I NEED HIM?

My eyes are closing here.

Take care of yourself happy, if you can.

goodnight Fellow Baby! Sorry I missed you ! I wish I was on something to make me drowsy, I’m on Predisone (spelling) at the moment, and after a couple hours of sleep I wake up wired. Last night, I was awake from 3:30 to 6:30 and my alarm went off at 7:30. Thank goodness, I am off tmr.!

Oh yeah, and after a week of temps in the high 60’s and low 70s that should come to a SCREECHING HALT Sunday. 2 storms coming in from both sides, snow on the west and Sandy Girl on the East. This could get interesting. LOL! I better not lose my INTERNET!

Good Night Citizens of Dogs and snow-covered fire starters.

Yeah Fellow Baby I think we’re going to get hit with this one, one side or the other! :-(

When you are in the middle, in can go either way!

happy your poor back. I’m so sorry that help didn’t come for you tonight. You did what had to be done successfully and that’s what counts. Get your heating pad out and try to find a comfortable spot to relax. I hope it eases up for you soon.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((happy, take care of YOURSELF TOO!!!))))))))))))))))))) If you have to call for someone, an agency, just for a little while, DO IT! I shouldn’t say this, but I’m an only and I managed with the help of my hubby and sons to do what needed done. You have siblings and they just sit back and watch? I feel so bad for you!

Thanks Jkiss! I’ll run out for TOILET PAPER, MILK AND BREAD! LOL! (Wish I could do my old Photobucket! I’d have my little SMILEY ROF LHAO! :-D)

my nephew came and picked mom up and put her in bed.

im done.good night.

Oh I am SO GLAD HAPPY! Take some Tylenol, aspirin, or some such pain reliever, something warm to put on your back and TRY REAL HARD to get some sleep, my friend!

I’m heading out too. Got my own stuff happening here and I need some sleep! It sucks when you start getting older, doesn’t it though?

My dear sweet mom used to say. “It’s HE!! gettin’ old!” The spirit is willing, but the body ain’t!

at the end of the code, add ‘width=’200’>

(width can be between 200 and 350)

CORRECTION:

in front of the code, add <img src = ’(with the only space being between img and src)

Good night, everybody! Sleep well.

@ HappyI am glad that you got some help tonight. Your siblings should get their act together and realize that their mother didn’t just give birth and raise you. What a bunch of selfish ….

@ Number Six

“The sooner we get the edit button back the better!”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Yes, indeed!!!

(BTW, it took over an hour and a half to find that!)

@ Number Six

I sure hope you can! You know how crazy-excited I was the last time I got mentioned!!
