Big Top by Rob Harrell for June 09, 2009

Good morning JFri, Marg and le Tribe. Waffles with maple syrup and whipped cream with fresh strawberries are on the menu this morning. I’m hoping DocT will supply the coffee. Of course there is also a bowl of steel cut oats with craisins, strawberries, walnuts and a touch of cinnamon for those who want a healthier breakfast, followed by homemade bread and strawberry jam (Gotta use those strawberries.)

JDoc hope your back is feeling better and that the rest of the injured are well on their way to recovery.

Re:Da Strip - that is certainly loose and free!

LOL@ le strip! Good morning Dawn, breakfast looks good! I’ll have the oatmeal, and I have some fresh raspberries here, they were on sale.

HI, JFRI!

HI, Cleo!

Good morning Dawn i will take some waffles im not hungry but they sound so good they made me want some.

i cant sleep so im on here. what can i say. love how he is doing the can can lol

Hey marg wonderful day to you also.

Morning Le Tribe.

@ Marg i also love your avatar. im not sure why but i have always loved that pic. its just simple i guess.

I’ll supply pirate coffee and your choice of juice.

Good morning Tabby, Hope your able to sleep soon. You’ll need it to fight those chickens in the morning! I used to collect the eggs when I was young. They flap around a lot but I was never pecked. They just like to make noise.

Morning DocT Thanks for the coffee. JFri I’m not sure if yours is as strong but I’ll try it as well - who needs to sleep?(Other than Tabby)

Dawan i was narrowly missed by a peck. lol the bucket of food saved me. im just more chicken then the chickens. lol

they are on a sechudle the eggs dont get picked till about 5pm so i can sleep late and still get all of my stuff done. i have to water the gardens tomorrow/today also. its 12:50am here

hey Doc and jfri

LOL Doc thanks. you wounldn’t do that for any one else would you? the only bad thing is that i dont drink coffee. i know im strange. lol im bringing food with me for them tomorrow. lol

Good morning Tabby and Doc!

I’m glad that you like the avatar. She does look like me when I was younger.

Hey marg how it going this morning?

Doc your son is right. All the people i know who likes coffee is addicted to it. not good.

Good night, all. Get some sleep, Tabby. :-)

so i can not edit my comments… that sucks. Marg she looks like you? now i want to see a pictureof you. :D i bet you are beautiful.

night Marg i will be getting off soon and trying to go to sleep. its hard when the dog keeps barking and you cant find a good position to lay in.

Doc if i go about two days without either chocolate of a coke i get headaches. or if i dont get enough sleep.

so i am going to head off to bed i need to try to sleep. i hope i can i think i killed my brain enough playing strange games. lol night all have a great day/ night/ whatever it is. peace an love

bye Doc always great talking to you. hope your lady gets well soon.

Good morning everyone!! Hope all the people who hurt themselves are better today. Please sound off RRAmom, Shika, JohnnyD, etc.

With all this coffee talk, check out today’s Bo Nanas.

http://www.gocomics.com/bonanas/2009/06/09/

Now I understand why I’ve always been a little frightened of wood nymphs…and a little turned on. Is that as wrong as it sounds? tee hee

Morning, all!

Akenta - My hand is back to normal! I knew my chiropractor had been very helpful with other times my klutziness knocked my bones out of kilter, and so my hubby & I decided he was the best place to start. He “adjusted” my hand (a 1st for me), but by the next day it was much better, and now it doesn’t hurt at all.

Morning Tribe. After coffee, I suggest we all hold hands and do the can can. Nah, just kidding.

doc It would probably have to be cleared on a page by page basis, since it doesn’t block it every day or every page. Unfortunately, if page 1 gets blocked, I haven’t figured out how to get to page 2 or any of the other pages for that comic for that day. But the next time it gets blocked on page1, I think I’ll request an unblock. Maybe if they unblock it once, it will stay unblocked. I had to send a unblock request in for my cousin’s family webpage. They said it was blocked because it wasn’t monitored, but they unblocked it after seeing the boring nature of what it contained. (Geneology info and current contact info for my relatives.)

Thanks, Doc, I feel better with that reminder. Glad to hear the hand is healing RRAmom. Cleo…never mind. tabby, Akenta, Dawn, Terry, JohnnyD, Quab, Marg, Joy, Comic, Rad, Shika, Dry, carmy, bmonk, Risitas… Just HI. Happy Tuesday to all!

And anyone else I missed, make a great day!

Cleo You first! (Doesn’t mean we’ll follow…unless it is to take pictures.)

In about a hour, I’m going to be gone for a while. Just several errands that need to be done. Should be back later, hopefully before the storms roll into this part of the state. Possibly baseball-sized hail & tornadoes. Thankfully, those usually hit relatively small areas, so I’m hoping it will miss us. Although, we could use new siding & a new roof, so the hail might not be all bad.

baseball sized hail. Thank goodness I live in the relatively boring (weather wise) Pacific Northwest.

Morning Le Tribe!

Marg: You sure are good looking if you looked like that when you were younger.

Dawn: I’ll have oatmeal with strawberries and some of Marg’s raspberries too.

JFri: I’ll try some pirates coffee this morning. I know what’s in it.

Doc: If JFri’s coffee doesn’t work, I’ll tap into your pipeline. Thanks! Hope your honey feels better soon.

RRAmom: I’m glad your hand is better. I think my arm is better too- not completely, but I have more range of movement in it. Mua misses my left arm. He slept on my left side last night, and his head kept swivelling around looking for my arm. It was under the comforter.

HA-HA! Dusty’s a prize! Cleo, you can’t can-can unless you have a skirt, silly you!

Can-Can anyone? 1, 2, 3, KICK!

I’ve only experienced that large of hail once in my almost 50 years, but it isn’t unheard of in KS. I’ll be surprised if we get anything that large, but I’ll try to be back in the house before then, because I’d rather be there than outside or in a car. Tornado alley does attract high caliber of meterologists, as our weather is challenging to predict and report. We live far enough outside of the metro area that we have to rely on weather alarms and internet radar for the most part. It is much easier to stay informed than it was when I was a kid - technology has greatly improved in tracking storms.

dcguys: I’m shocked you would say such a thing. Dusty is appealing to you?

Doc: your reply should have been bleeeped. Guess they didn’t know what you said.

Good Morning Akenta. Good to see you here.

Tabby: Did you get some sleep? Chocolate and coke have caffeine too. No wonder you can’t sleep!

Shika Glad to hear your arm is improving. Always takes longer to heal than to injure something, but as long as it is improving, that is a good sign.

RRAmom: Watch out for those hail stones. Don’t stay out too long.

ROFLMAO! Another hilarious strip today!

Mornning Dry and Joy when you get here.

BBL to see who shows up. Doing my toon rounds.

Risitas,

Take notice!

#####DAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH STRIP! :-D

THIS FREAKIN’ EDIT BUTTON IS NOT WORKING RIGHT!!!!

KENNY, WHERE ARE YOU?

Thanks Shika! They’re saying 4pm for my area, so I should be back by then.

I am a chocolate fiend as well. Give me dark bittersweet and I am a happy man. I don’t drink pop though. I try to stay away from anything that has high fructose corn syrup in it. Nasty stuff.

Dawn: I’m still hungry- any waffles left?

Cleo: I don’t frink pop either. Only water or real juice. but I do like dark choclate. And it has flavinoids- good for you too. Not that I care, LOL

cleo if you like whiskey I’m guessing you’re NOT avoiding high fructose corn syrup…….in a slightly altered state (sugar and alcohol share similar chemical characterisitics)

I figured I might be a chocoholic when I gave up chocolate for Lent one year and they caught me melting down my kids’ chocolate bunnies to inject directly into my veins 1 minute past midnight on Easter Sunday!

DRY: Just read last night’s post. Who is the OTHER Patty? I know I’m not an elder, but do you have any guest spots I can be once in a while?

MargI like that: Vermeer’s Bag Lady! That’s not a bag on her head though, is it? She is so pretty.

Cleo: I’m glad you liked Benjamin Button> I loved it myself. Very funny/sad all at once.

JFri: LOL Poor bunnies! What did your kids do?

BBL Busy day ahead. I’ll check in periodically. Be good!

Le Dusty is doing Le can can. Hilarious! Good Afternoon All! I’m fasting, I have to get some tests done in a couple of hours. I woke up late and was only able to get a big chug of coffee before the fast started. Then I went grocery shopping. Don’t ever do that when you’re fasting. The pastries were calling me and I had to run away. :(

@Marge, I agree with others: first artist I thought of was Vermeer. But which picture? (And are we right?)

@JFri, the bunnies being mainlined sounds kinda like Sally Forth: her daughter has yet to eat a Easter Bunny with ears intact.

the comments are cut off!!!!!!!!!!! how am i supposed to read and catch up if the comments are cute off??? ugh

DAAAAAAAHH Strip:

Where’s a rotten tomato when you need

a few dozen???

For all you chocoholics: http://comics.com/the_born_loser/2009-06-08/

Jfri you are crazy. wow. LOL is all i can say.

i can read the whole comments on page 2 but the page 1 is cute off on some. this sucks.

Doc always a troubel maker. :D

Shika i did not have chocolate that night. i had a coke with supper at about 10, but that normally doesn’t bother me, just makes me have to pee alot. lol tmi i know.

akenta good morning.

Carmy that was not smart ive done it before i understand. it is hard.

im forgetting something but don’t know what…..

Rmom glad your doing better

jdoc take it easy man.

see what i started? i got hurt and now you are all trying to follow in my foot steps…. well let me say this, those are some dangerous foot steps to follow n. lol

if i missed someone ill get them next time around.

oh Marg how can i forget thee? sorry. I got some sleep not a good sleep, but a little bit. have a great day today.

Bmonk it didnt work. :(

brb going find some food. starving.

@Tabby, it should now. Those underscores often trip me up when I don’t remember to backslash them…

thanks Bmonk

so for brunch today i have buttered toast and cranberry apple juice in my fav. coffee cup

@ Bmonk thanks for the link… only one problem with that. i dont like dark chocolate. im milk chocolate or white chocolate kind of girl.

Catching up on yesterday’s late posts:

@Shika, yes, John Main was a Benedictine. There are a few others of us running around here and there.

@tabby, just remember that you don’t need to be in a relationship to be a real person. You can stay single until a good person comes along. And dating is about finding out who is a loser, and dumping them, not about staying in and hoping they will miraculously get better so you won’t be alone. So keep on being a Lover-type, but don’t let it drag you down.

Bmonk your so sweet. thank you.

@Tabby, we worry about people we like. So get used to it…

@Bmonk im used to being the one that worries not the one being worried about. I’m slowly getting used to it. I still do alot of the worrying, but between all my “moms” on here and you i’m worried about a lot. i think Akenta does the most worrying on the ladies side. then there’s you and doc. thank you all.

shika, actually, johhnydoc was next to join us, weren’t ya’ johnnydoc? i didn’t forget!!

@doc, it never hurts to be well prepared for those days when chocolate is unavailable. Get the Minimum Daily Allotment of Vitamin Ch!

Doc i dont remember right this min. why i called you a trouble maker… ill get back to you.

Doc and Dry what a lovely couple of friend. im not sure if it was cleo or jdoc. we need to find out.

Doc you got the job your my tribe dad. lol you have grand babies???

Doc i remember. lol how you get away with the things you post. lol

CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s better than chocolate or coffee?

MOCHA’s

Best of both worlds!!

lol Jfri your crazy that is all i can say.

I’ll see you all later. I’m off to get my scans done and THEN, I can stop fasting, WOO HOO!!

doc, I think johnny was here before cleo, I believe you’re right!

By the way simmer down, the bakery, the women etc. That’s more distracting than a computer!!! Good thing you work in frozen foods!!! LOL :-D

well FINALLY!!! Where ya’ been JFri? :-D

I have lost the ability to go big, how did we do that again? I swear I’m doing it right!

JFri - you are right my good man. A perfect treat in the summer is a triple iced mocha. Mmm. Oh and by the way quit trying to ruin whiskey for me. LOL

DRY good day to you my lovely friend. Doc Dry is right. lol the simmer down thing.

Doc you must be a good guy for them to bring there new borns to you.

Dry its not working for me either.

hey

DRY i got it it is only one number sign.

Higuys!

Don’t worry Dry Just tell me when it’s my turn. Probably sometime in 2011! I hope I can join sooner though. You guys are second family to me now.

*JFri, DOC, and all the chocolate lovers out there: I always say that I’m NOT a chocoholic. However, I always make sure I have some on hand, “just in case!”

Poor Carmy: Fasting, and all we talk about is food.

bmonk Thanks for the laugh. “Born Loser is another good strip.

I think this is how to do BIG.

Yep. Sometimes it doesn’t work for me though.

*

and then * afterwaards.

LOL!

Guess you can’t demonstrate it.

number sign, three asterisks, words and three asterisks. Enter!

Guess everyone’s gone?

NO ITS NOT!

BBL I have an appointment this afternoon. Have a good day Le Tribe.

bmonk: It’s nice to have someone look after us all. You too Doc. A shaman, a monk and a lawyer waked into a bar….

Sorry, can’t think of a joke with those three. Oh well, just as well.

Peace and love to all

No it only works once in awhile

I deleted the comments that didn’t work and every large post was all done the same way! Go figure! I think they are still tinkering with this site, at least I hope so!

JFri? :-(

doc,doc,doc

I just went over to the other site to read some of my strips and went to Over the Hedge! Gave me a GREAT idea! Anybody know where I can get a bassoon to add to my collection?

We have been trying to eliminate our third bank of ivy, St. John’s wart and blackberries and I just went out to weed control and I am losing the battle big time, especially with blackberries and St. Jon’s. When plants spread by rhyzomes it is a nightmare. I need the whole tribe to come over and help me.

No Dry, but I know where you can get a baboon. LOL

JFri - I’m with you with Mochas - hot or cold - I love them! BMonk, Thanks for the laugh - I am probably up to 2040; I love dark chocolate too. Shika, Maybe we can be the acolytes? But not the mutant supervillains of Marvel Comics.

YES, DRY??????

You don’t know the POWER of chocolate!!!!!!

Cleo I empathize! We have blackberries too. I love them but not in the lawn! Dry what about a horn from a semi? My son had one of those on his half ton. It would wake the dead. Morning Marg, add me to the list of your avatar admirers. Interesting how the old masters are still admired. Not to sure about us old mistresses, though (referring to me and anyone else in my age range.)

Jfri glad to see you found your pic to go with the voice. lol

Dryi think he is making fun of you. its okay i wont see if you hit him. and i still love you.

cleo, who are you calling a baboon? anyone here we know? LOL

JFri, what’s with the Darth Vadar get up?

Dawn, that horn would be great, but I harrass doc enough, I don’t want him to go deaf! Then he’d never speak to me again, LOL!

be back in a few min. on the phone. again

cleo, you callin’ me a baboon? :-(

Tabby says you are!

And just when I was going to give you an idea on how to get rid of those weeds!

Niht Doc sleep well you are crazy. tell the cats hi

deep mechanical breathing

Dry, WHAT Darth Vader get up?

deep mechanical breathing

(looks in mirror)

AAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

It wasn’t a dream?????

Dry, Akenta, Marg, Carmy

i need you help with something

Jfri You’re hilarious! Whenever my sons do the Darth Vader breathing impression, I have to make them stop. After listening to my dad being on a ventilator for 15 days before he died, it brings back memories I’d rather forget. I can handle the Star Wars movie (on our TV) okay - as long as I’ve got the Darth Vader image, instead of my dad in ICU.

I have a pretty deep voice so I can pull off a fairly good imitation! Sorry if I brought up unpleasant memories!

*Rmom that is very sad…..

((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))

@Jfri nope it wasnt a dream. lol

Dry - I would never call you a baboon. But I would call you a fellow toon nut.

my computer hates me…. my bro looking up bad things has it all messed up. i want to toss it out the door.

Jfri and tabby It has been 7 1/2 years since Dad died, so I’m past all the stages of grieving. Jfri - Don’t feel bad - having the avatar of DV made it very appropriate.

tabby I’ve heard that those sites put some nasty viruses, etc. on a computer. If it is your computer, maybe you should check into getting a filter that prevents him from going to those sites.

Rmom it is the family computer…. but how do you do it? i need to know bc i need it to work right come this fall i will need it for school.

There are several filters available. Some cost more than others, some have parental override available. The one we have does not have that feature, since having a geek for a husband and one of our sons is a geek, we need a filter that they couldn’t circumvent. I’ll look up the link for one and post it in a bit.

JFri, :-(

@Rmom thanks.

Dry whats with the :-( at Jfri it should be :P

tabby Here’s the link to the home page for the filter we have: http://www.totalnetguard.com/filterOptions.asp

thank you Rmom i need something that works.

Yeah, Dry what’s up with the :-(?

**Rmom which one do you have? one two or three?

tabby I’ll have to check with my hubby. I don’t know for sure. I’m guessing it is the Standard variety, but I could be wrong. I’ve sent him an email, so should have an answer later today for you.

le tribe!

Just thought I’d try the BIG formatting and see how I do.

They just called a tornado watch until 10pm for my part of the state. I’ll be staying close to keep an eye on the radar. Right now, the area of concern is a couple hours NE of me, so we’re in no immediate danger.

Rmom i cant say thank you enough if this fixes the problems i will be so happy its crazy. right now when i try to close a tab it tells me “webpage error” and freezes. im backing up my files right now then going to email a friend of a friend and see what he can do. he is a computer geek as well. i just don’t know how to do anything with computers.

Rmom i just heard that on the radio and was about to ask you about it. i hope that it skips you. couldn’t have one of ours in any danger.

RRAmom severe thunderstorm watch until 8PM here. We had a doozy roll in early this AM around 3, it was NASTY!!

Why whatever do you mean,

JFri

@Shikamoo said, about 2 short hours ago

“A shaman, a monk and a lawyer waked into a bar….”

And the barkeep looked up and asked, “You guys trying to be funny?”

[I know it’s lame, but it’s all I got…]

Bmonk its better then what i would have came up with…. nothing. lol

Dry Has our special Jfri forgotten what he is supposed to do? is that why you frowned at him?

Aaaak!

I’m having the same problem (I think) that someone (Dry? Carmy?) was having earlier. I can only see the last comment. Every time I try to see all comments, it logs me out and says I’m in uncharted territory. I’ll send in a SOS to the “contact us” but hopefully this explains if I don’t reply.

Rmom i was kicked out for almost an hour it said i was in uncharted territory. or it would show my one of my comics and then nothing. but im back now.

Okay it is being stupid again. im getting off for a while to go feed and take care of the chickens im bring food with me a treat for them. lol i also have to water the garden today. be back later. peace and love.

tabby I’m back too. Kenny or one of the other techs must have been doing something. I’m sure glad it is working now! Sounds like we had the same problem.

I couldn’t get anything for about a half hour, well, except for a page saying that the pages I was trying to access were not available, and offering other comics, which were also unavailable. I think it was technical problems with the site…

Whatever is going on is on this end! We have to be patient as we

*“I’m Not Addicted, I can Quit Any Time I Want Yappy Nuts” keep our heads together and don’t PANIC!!!! ROFLMAO

Dry You must be in the eastern 2/3rds of PA, according to the weather map. There’s a gap between us, so guess it isn’t the same storm system. Right now the bad weather in KS is real close to the MO border, so not a problem here. I’m guessing it will probably hit around 9pm. It seems like the last hour of a watch is the most likely time that something happens.

@Dry, I think this is the proper time to

PANIC!

“A shaman, a monk and a lawyer waked into a bar….”

I’m just trying to figure out whose wake was being held in the bar. Does that mean someone died, or was one person so large they left a wake?

RRAMom, Actuallly Central PA!

BMonk, you are a spriitual leader,

you are not supposed to PANIC!!

Why the Panic?

Hi everyone, and thank you for all the sentiments! My back is much better today, but I still couldn’t do any running around. Would have said Hi earlier but the site was acting funny. In the very short amount of time I have right now, I skimmed some of the posts, and I think Doc was saying something about me being here when you guys were at Prickley City. I first ran into the “elders” of the tribe at Winnie the Pooh. I have to go now, I am going with my parents to see the house they are about to buy, and then going out to watch the hockey game. BBL!

I ate some food!!! I had a really bad hunger headache. When I left the place where I got my scans done, I went to BK. I had an original chicken sandwich and a small tea. I was about to faint! It’s almost 90 degrees here.

Thanks Jdoc, I forgot we were at Winnie the Pooh first. Or was I at WTP too? I can’t even remember.

Dry was trying not to

PANIC!

because he was going through comic withdrawal.

Hey carmy, how you feeling? Good I hope! I can’t remember, I think you were at Winnie, only one way to find out. In all my spare time I can go back and check the archives! LOL

((((((carmy))))))

Speaking of weird computer antics, when I tried to log on earlier, my screen said that the Penguins have been acting up and showed that poor little Penguin (AAADD) who died recently. Spooky. Ghosts are messing up gocomics now.

JFri: Are you telling us you really are

Darth Vader???

I didn’t get the penguin! Where’s my penguin?

Do you mean Opus perhaps?

AUUUGGGHHH!

I must go lie down now to recover.

BBL

Oh, DRY: (I know where you can get a double bass bassoon, cheap!)

CLEO: When I recover from the terrible shocks of today’s posts, I’ll help you weed your garden. Of course, I can only use one hand, and, cough, you know, I’m not very strong, But….I’ll be there!

Does Dry want a double bass bassoon, or a double brass trombone?

Dry My hubby grew up around Oil City, so I’m better at PA geography than some states. I drove across PA a little over a year ago. My hubby bought our car on ebay in CT, so I flew out there and drove it back. The fee to ship it was about the same as me driving it, but I stopped at grocery stores until I could find one that carried Del Grosso pizza sauce.

GLAD you are back CARMY, and that you ate some food.

((((((((((((((CARMY))))))))))))))))))))))))

peace and love too!

Bmomk, I’ll take both!

You hear that doc????

I got Opus when they did the major change a few weeks ago, but today I just got an “uncharted territory - 500” notice - no penguins.

And there’s always a double bell euphonium, as in “Seventy Six Trombones”

Doc may not hear it just now, but I have an inkling that he will….

Well I have sprayed weeds, watered plants, mowed, edged, used the weedeater and that is it for the day. Oh and did laundry.

Carmy I’m so glad you finally got to eat! I get headaches too, when I fast, so I try to make any appointment that requires fasting early in the day.

Dry and Shika, thanks for the hugs! I am feeling okay, except I still have a teeny headache. I took some tylenol and I hope it starts working really soon. I got the penguin too. It was Opus.

Viva Le Tribe!

I remember when I started posting on here because I was worried about Tabby. She was having some problems and we were concerned about her. We were very happy when she came back.

Cleo, you made me tired by just reading all that you did today. Time to relax now?

BBL. RL calling.

It’s been a long day at work, but it’s finally over. Not sure I feel much like chatting, but wanted to say hi to everyone. They ended the day giving us an update on everything and then saying that everyone had to buy an extra week of vacation. I didn’t want to do that, but at least they didn’t have to lay anyone else off in our region, so I’ll manage :-)

Akenta How does one “buy” an extra week of vacation?

Akenta. What kind of work do you do? I’ve never heard of buying your vacation, but I guess it’s one way to keep your job. Sigh. It’s tough sometimes, isn’t it? Hope you feel up to visiting later. Take care .

DawnAvril: Being an acolyte sounds like fun, but you’ll have to tell me what that means in toonland. In ‘church-land’ it means getting things ready for the priest during a service or mass. Somehow, I doubt that’s what you had in mind.

Did you want to be a super hero, or someone more down to earth in a kooky way? Interpret that as you will. My mind’s not co-operating these days.

OPUS! That’s it. It was OPUS who was messing with my sign-on page.

DRY: I’m at the back door with the double bass bassoon. I picked up a double brass trombone for next to nothing too. But hurry! There’s a guy who calls himself something De Souza who says these are his!

DRY??

I’ll just leave them on your back step. Gotta run now!

Getting windy……………..WHOOOOOSHHHH!!!

RRAmom: What are YOU doing out here? #*TOTO?*

Dry - you absolutely sure you don’t want me to drop of that baboon? I bet that he would look good playing the bassoon at noon during a full moon in june being accompanied by a raccoon named Boone. I can send him real soon. Oh and Boone can croon a mean tune, even though he looks like a goon from Saskatoon.

Cleo You get an A+ in rhyming!

*Wow Cleo: *I’m impressed. And after a grueling day of work too! I think I’ll swoon.

one thing my company does every year is let people buy up to 5 days of vacation. That money is deducted from each paycheck. I have a hard time using up the days I have, so I never really looked into it. I think after you get 3 weeks, you can sell back up to 5 days - but I’m not there yet. So basically, we’re getting time off without pay.

CLEO, yes, an A+ in rhyming and that’s it, dude!

I DON’T WANT NO STINKIN’ BABOON!!!!!

RRAMom, I’m very familiar with Del Grossa Spagetti Sauce! Are you familiar with what used to be Bland Park and is now Del Grosso Amusement Park?

I see you are going to get some heavy storms out there! Just saw the weather channel!

Stay safe!

Shiika, You used the term mass. I believe you mean Eucharistic Ministers, do you not?

Doc, stay safe! You’ve got some bad weather coming too I hear!

Dry, soooo, you have BUGLE. Obi Wan was wise to hide it from me.

Akenta Thanks for the explanation.

Dry I’m aware of the amusement park, but haven’t been there.

I’m going to be on and off here. I’m grilling burgers and hot dogs. I went to the store to get some buns and guess who was there. THE HEADBANGING PSYCHO FREAK FROM BLOCKBUSTER!! He looked at me, like “do I know you?” He didn’t harm anyone at the store, YEA!

Carmy i forgot you all came looking for me. lol my computer hates me still. ill be back later. to tell you what happend with the chickens today.

(((((AKENTA)))))

okay im back. so the daily chicken vs. tabby update.

Day 3 with the chickens.

Chickens 2 Tabby 1 go me… i went in armed with corn. hehe they like corn… the ate while i did what i had to do…

that is the good news the bad news is i have a dead chicken… i dont know what happened. and i dont know if i should call her and tell her and mess up her vacation or wait till she calls me… i want to call her bc its eating at me her not knowing but i dont want to bug her. sigh i dont know what to do… see what happens when i talk bad about them chickens. one dies. d a r n it

DRY: Are you Episcopalian? (Spelling?) I’m Anglican. Our ordained ministers are sometimes called priests or Father if it is High Church. I assumed that Catholics use Acolytes as well, hence “mass”. If you are Catholic, you can tell me which term is right. I’m just learning terminology in seminary. My Dad was an Anglican priest or minister.

That’s enough on a banned subject. Don’t ban me from the site please. I won’t do it again, unless asked to.

DRY; Did you get the instruments? Hope they are what you want.

Shika hi how are you? lol im a non denominational religion. there you go so i talked about it also. they will get rid of both of us. lol

Hi TABBY: My cousin is a non-denominational pastor. He was in Denver, CO, then Indiana and Huntington, and he just moved to Minnesota.

Bleeep. Zip my lip. (No religion, shh!)

lol Shika so how is you arm?

so i thought about our tribe here when i read the following….

I always have to choose my words wisely when i’m with my friends or everything i say will be turned into something perverted.

who does that sound like?

There are a lot of you getting horrible weather. I was wondering if doctortoon had any of the various tornadoes anywhere near him, but he would have mentioned it if he did. Stay safe out there. Here, we just keep having one Sunny, mild day after another.

le tribe I’m getting off for a few hours. There is a storm tracking my way, so I want to be ready to scoot to the basement quickly if need be. (It is still 10-20 miles away).

♪♫Mr. Big stuff. who do you think you are? Mr. Big stuff your never gonna get my love. Mr. Big stuff.♪♫

Becareful Rmom youll be in my prayers.

Tabby: Re: “Who does that sound like?” Uh, just about everyone! LOL But one or two in particular, NOT THAT I’M MENTIONING ANY NAMES HERE! X-D

RRAmom: Stay safe. I’m holding you in my prayers.

CLEO: Rub it in why don’t ya? “Just one mild sunny day after another!” HUH. (Send some over here, will ya?)

i got another cute one….

“every time i go to the doctor i get a jacket… a straight one. it makes me feel special because i get to hug myself”

lol i love it.

I stil die laughing at the silly, crazy Dusty everytime I see him doing the Can-Can! LOL The experssion on his face!!!

(:•o X

Shika - I am sending nice weather your way, so that you too can hold it over the rest of the tribe.

Jfri may i ask what that face is about?

Cleo nice weather here also. it was 96 degrees fahrenheit here today.

Jfri may i ask what that face is about?

Cleo nice weather here also. it was 96 degrees fahrenheit here today.

JFri: Is that you? EEK. What, no barbeque tonight? Is is bad weather where you are, or have the weeds taken over,lol

Tabby: Once at a church bazaar, they opened one box, and there was a STRAIGHT-JACKET sitting on top. We always wondered who donated it, and what we were to do with it. LOL

shika my friend and i always joked about getting a straight jacket and a padded room to play in. it would be a blast. lol

Thanks Cleo: Thanks to you, things have brightened considerably in Ontario, it is now sunny and warm, although not as warm as 96oF SHOW OFF TABBY, WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS, except I guess I gave it awy.

Thanks again Cleo: I’ll return the favor next time you have cool rainy weather, that is if you ever GET cool rainy weather.

Tabby: So I can send it to you?

tabby that would be a good room for you - and I can throw in some extra pillows, just in case :-p

I can pad a room for you. Just name a day. You and your friend can bounce off the walls to your hearts content. Just leave a jacket for me afterwards. I may need two slings by then. LOL

Akenta it would be wouldnt it. lol i like pillows. bring them on. lol

Shika what are you sending me?

what do you think of my new pic??? can you read it? you may have to click on the pic to see it.. its great.

An attempt at a skull & crossbones. Bbqing flat iron steak tonight. Nothing too special!

I have a pillow-top mattress I can throw in Tabby.

I just noticed your new avatar. (I’m slow, what can I say?) What is it. Salt and Pepper?

Any steak is a good steak JFri, on my budget.LOL

Enjoy!

Tabby, why I’m sending you a straight jacket from the church bazaar! Are you getting AAADD now?

JFri toss me one on. medium well.

if you can’t read it or see it that good. it is a salt and a pepper shaker. the salt has a gun in its hand and a mask on. it reads “a salt with a deadly wepon” lol i love it

Shika, I’m Roman Catholic and the proper term is Eucharistic Ministers.

And that said, NO MORE RELIGION nothing wrong with stating your faith, but I’ve been around here long enough to know that it can turn into something UGLY real quick!

Dry welcome back. :D

tabby & Dry - You are both pretty in pink.

Thanks DRY. Glad to know proper terminology.

How’s the weather your way?

TABBY: LOL love the joke. Does the pepper have “pepper spray?”

And now I’ve lost my last post. Cannibal site! Eats it’s babies. Shame!

Shika not that i know of.

Cleo thanks

Tabby: many moons ago, in a galaxy far away, you asked me how my arm is.

It’s much better now, as long as I don’t touch it. I just wear the sling to remind me not to lift with it- I can’t with the sling.

Hope you all get through your storms alright. Positive thoughts your way.

” I DIDN’T FALL!! i just sat down real hard” lol i love it.

Bon nuit, le tribe. I think that’s about all the French I can remember. rramom hope the storm passed you by.

I’ll see everyone in the morning. Night!!

Akenta good night. loveing you. take it easy have a great day tomorrow and try to get some sleep.

“remember as far as anyone knows we are a NORMAL family”

going to get off and eat. may be back later. peace and love all.

*TABBY: *What are you saying, you sat down real hard? Like I sat down real hard on Sunday? On a waxed floor? LOL

That’s right TABBY: We are a NORMAL family. Repeat. Just a NORMAL FAMILY. I said….

Tabby: that really is a cute pic with the salt and pepper shakers. Love the expressions.

BYE Tabby. Later.

Thanks le tribe! The storm passed very close, but we didn’t get any here. I went to the basement as a precaution, since there was a tornado watch out. No rotation spotted, but didn’t want to have to rush at the last moment if one was. I heard something about golf-ball sized hail - don’t know if it actually fell somewhere, or they just said it could. The weather service is having problems with their transmitter - great time for that to happen! My hubby is in the thick of a storm right now - riding in out in a 5th wheel trailer, if he doesn’t go to a shelter somewhere. He’s close to the community college, but if he has more time, he said he might head back up to where he works, since he has keys there and a sleeper sofa. I’ll have to call or email him here in a bit to see if he got anything besides rain. Thank goodness we took out insurance on it, just in case!

Doc, I didn’t hurt my brass, but I did hurt my A S S! LOL! You best not be referring to me when you say witches on bicycles, my dear friend!!

Our severe storm warning has been cancelled here. Last night’s storm was a trip, let me tell you!

Hey all, check out Overboard from today! Somebody made a post about 2 hours ago.

doc,

:-P

Dry Glad your warning has been cancelled. My email forecast says there is a possibity of storms every day through Saturday. doc I can’t find anything on the radars looking too bad for CO, so hopefully you won’t have anything to worry about tonight.

doc, you little stinker!!! (and it’s not as big as my mouth can be at times!!) LOL! I have to get off, computer share time for my kiddo! If you leave me a message, I’ll see it when he gets off!

P & L my dear friend!!

*Doc I saw a weather report on your area that said that there was a chance of high WOOD-WINDS and possible clanging cymbals, along with gusts from various brass horns and funnel clouds. did you hear that?

I saw Toto when I was blowing about , er down south, but no witches on bicycles. Especially down south!

Well, my hubby said he only got heavy rain. So, I guess I can start heading to bed now that the excitement is over for tonight. Good night!

Good news RRAmom. Have a good sleep.

I’m heading off soon. I’ll pop in to say goodbye before I go.

Hey DRY: Whoever posted that diatribe on Overboard went “overboard” I’m glad they censor some things around here, although it can be tricky figuring out whats safe sometimes.

I thought it was a good cartoon by the way- ludicrously funny with the sword fight going on outsde the door!

Good night Cher Tribe. (that’s Dear Tribe in Canadian.)

Stay safe, Have a peaceful sleep, or a good night at work or not at work, I can’t keep track of everyone here.

anyone heard from Radical? Hope he’s okay. And anyone else who didn’t pop in today.

peace and love to all.

♥♥♥

“Shika**,My definition of acolyte is a devoted follower or attendant. Thought that was what we could be..

RMom, Drysta and DocT glad the storms passed. That is scary stuff. Carmy I’m glad you were finally able to eat. How long are you looking at for this set of treatments. You are one strong lady.

Wonder if Bigmouth is RogOregon…

Okay Dawnavril: I’m one already. Let’s link arms and cheer them on! Of course, don’t let it get to their head, or wwe may end up being servants. DEVOTED servants. LOL

Hello all, had a fun afternoon/evening out. Now I must go to bed, because I have to get up at the crack of dawn to work tomorrow. Good night all!

back.. whats going on?

Rmom glad you are all safe. Doc you would have slept throught it anyways. tell the cats hi. Dry hope the weather wasnt that bad.

Shika we are normal ….. what is normal?

Jdoc night. sleep well

JDoc guess you are a red wings fan?

Boy I am going to be tired tomorrow… Yes I am a Wings fan. JFri isn’t, and I’ll bet he is pretty happy right now. Now I am going to bed.

Hope all is well weather wise with my fellow toonies. In order for us all to be whole we need you all to be well. Positive thoughts your way.

Glad everyone is safe from the weather in their areas. Oh no! Game 7? And we have to wait until Friday too. Bummer! Dawn, I have no idea how long I have to do chemo. My oncologist let me take a break after I had 2 “clean” scans. The break was about 4 months long and I enjoyed every minute of it. I just had some scans done today, so even if they are “clean”, I will still have to do chemo for another 2 to 3 months before I can get some more scans done. I am only strong because of my faith and my Savior. Won’t say anymore about that on account of Tribe Rules.

Night all! P & L

Where’d doc go? :-D

(((((((((((Carmy)))))))))))))!

Dawn, don’t think it’s Rog. Doesn’t sound like him, but I do have someone else in mind

Carmy, we’re all praying for you. G’night DocT Hope she’s better soon. See you tomorrow.

we are all breaking the rules tonight. lol

I just finished reading the comics on my comics page. Can’t keep my eyes open anymore. I’ll see you all tomorrow. Good Night Le Tribe. Tabby, go to sleep! Thanks for the prayers and hugs! :)
