Hi, Lonewolf! That three-egg omelette, hash browns, and (of course) CocoMocha sound excellent… at the usual time. Meanwhile, I’m going to wade through the comics and then go to bed.

Good Morning Lil’ Sis

Your order is up and ready for take-out! Have a good week!

Hi there, Johanan. Your order will be ready and waiting at the proper time. G’Night!

Got a long day tomorrow. Need to hit the horizontal position. Help yourselves to the buffet as you wish.

Good Night everyone!

Aren’t there enough already, Dusty? What’s the draw? Free kibble and a balancing act? Grrr Bad arc!!

MMMmmmm. Buffet looks good, Thanks, Terry

Good morning TRIBEANDALL and Grog!

Toon tour

Poof

I overslept and came running to Big Top expecting thousands of comments to read before I post my idiocy. Only 8 posts? I’m disappointed. Guess I’ll have to break my rule and come back at lunchtime.

LONEWOLF has again shown his culinary, er writing skill in giving us another wonderful breakfast. May I please have an order of refritos con arroz? Just fill the Grand Canyon with DOC’S NUC COFFEE and give me a long straw (since a certain DOC still hasn’t completed the promised pipeline to my neck of the wood)

Morning TRIBE! I have to go to Home Depot and return something for HER. You know how men like returning things? “You bought it, it’s yours” should be the rule Let the buyer beware. I’ll stand in line to have some pimple face ask “What’s the matter? Didn’t know what you needed?”

Note to men: Never bring your wife to the hardware store. They find things for the house and projects for you Never Never Never! bring your wife fishing.They either complain or worse yet, like it.

Good Morning Tribe!

Good Morning RwB & Lewreader. Hope you enjoyed your orders, gentleman!

Need to drive James to school this AM. He has all of his football gear from the weekend. I’ll catch everyone a little later.

P&L

Good morning, Tribe!

Now, now, don’t “answer a matter before you hear it”. This could turn out to be an interesting arc. It could well be a delicate high-wire act, as you appreciate, but let’s just see how it plays out.

Meanwhile, among my many buttonized graphics are the many CD labels I use on iTunes. Here’s one for a recording which you might want to check out on SAVAE.org:

Ancient Echoes

I made a YouTube video based on two of the tracks from this recording, listed here.

Meanwhile, I’m here for my breakfast. Thanks, Lonewolf, for having it ready on time.

I hope you tied that stuff on the roof, Terry. I remember what mine smelled like after a game. It definitely rates a LuvH8

Blechy!

Doc your Nuc Coffee produces a religious experience, no? Lewreader I bet you took SWMBO fishing and she caught more than you.

I wondered who would be closest to the fire. Becareful out there.

morning all!

DFrog! hello

Good morning, tribe! While reading the local news (on-line) I ran across this link in the Wichita paper. I haven’t been in Towne West Mall for several years, so I hadn’t seen this store before. It is one of a kind! I think Luv will find it of particular interest, but there’s something for almost everyone.

12 please A

Good morning, Tribe,

was warm enough to sit out and watch the stars last night! Just love these late nights. It means I get to sleep in!!

LoneWolf, I’ll have the Huevos con Chorizo, hash browns, and a Strawberry Marguerita. Any chance of a Churro stick, too?

Thanks for cooking!

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪☼ Good Morning TRIBE! ☼♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll hane a Three egg omelete with cheese and Hash Brown Potatoes.

Thanks for the link Rmom. Next time I;m there I’ll try to stop by and visit the store. So far the only one in the nation! Reminds me of a store I saw on W. Central a few years ago. I never went in but havn’t forgotten it’s name - Coffins “R Us.

Rmom I believe that store would be up Luv’s alley. Let’s see if she thinks so too. I’m kinda partial to the diamondplate one’s if the medical school wasn’t my recipient.

Hi, & keep safe, Doc!

Hello Rmom a friend of my daughter sent that link to me and I agree BBS LuvH8 would like it. Though this is a legimate company at Town West Square. There is another one on W Central.

DDFenceEMET I corrected I guess my mistake though I’ve seen others use shorter words.

I’ve been working on text books typing. I guess rain is coming Thurs.

Rmom not sure who your referring to as diamondplate. For me only reason I chose Medical Encoding and Billing because I wish to type on computer data base. My field I’m in is dying. With so many people outa work I need something different. I tried with clerical in Wichita Public school didn’t work out. I don’t want to say which dept I’m in, but doors have been cloosing there. Sorta have a hiring freeze. City office if I had been selected for position there I would have been let go due to budgets. Federal for SSA has said no. Kock Ind with no higher education from actual college they said no. Who knows after spending money and time medical positions same way. Other wise like many Medical Transcription.

Close to where I live neighbor’s both work at Cessna and they are prepared for a strike. That is if Cessna doesn’t do what former Beach Craft /Rathan wants to move work elsewhere like Louisana.

Kab - I didn’t use the word “diamondplate” - did you mean a different poster?

Twas I, SUPEREARS. diamond plate is a type of patterned steel that was chromed in the video of the coffin store.

Your right you didn’t twas RwB

Hello, (or maybe I should say heck-o so I don’t get censored) Lonewolf, Lewreader, Doc, Johanan, Kabbuch, Sojo, Digifrog, Montana Lady BEARwithRUNS, LittleSister and Rmom.

Goodbye LittleSister, see you Friday. FRIDAY?!?

Hi, RwB & Frankr! Thanks for adding to my education, RwB - my hubby probably knows the technical term is “diamondplate”, but I didn’t know it. However, as soon as you mentioned “chromed” I knew instantly what you’re referring to.

Hi Frankr.

Hey Sojo Frankr that has been me after too much beer. Thankfully age has limited me and now I fall asleep before the too much part. I’m the real life of the party.

PLAY NICE - STAY SAFE

(((TRIBE)))

I’m outta here!

POOF!

See you later RwB.

Hi tribesters Just popping in to say I won’t be around tomorrow and not sure how the rest of the week will play out. I will note that The Cowboy game was a bummer for their fans!

Have a couple of family in the hospital…Tomorrow is the day My daughter-in-law is having a tumor removed from the lining of her brain and a niece we thought was improving is now in ICU. Appreciate if you would send good thoughts and prayers our way for them.

Be kind to each other and have fun in the Big Top.

Good Afternoon, Alles!

Hmm, quiet today.

Maybe I can get some reading done.

Just back from a funeral, so maybe I have time for a nap too…

Which means I’d better watch DocT’s World Famous Nuclear Coffee!!!

And, I feel I should add that I have it on good authority, as well as personal experience, that DocT’s World Famous Nuclear Coffee, good as it might be, is still not as good as a religious experience, although it is better than founding your own religion.

Or maybe that just means I’m not preparing it right?

Hopeandjoy2 -Sorry to hear the news. My prayers will be with you and your family.

Yes bmonk it is quite today.

Yes, sympathy, and mucho prayers, Hopeandjoy!

Hope&joy - My prayers will be with you and your family!

Here’s a quote that seems appropriate since football season just started: “Football incorporates the two worst elements of American society: violence punctuated by committee meetings.” ~ George Will

@Rmom, LOL!

By the way, do you happen to know who invented the Football huddle?

LuvH8?

@Sojo, if that was an attempt to answer my question, then no.

Just guessing.

It Wasn’t Me!

Cows on rollerskates! Why does everyone always think I did it?

That was a compliment!

Because, LuvH8, we (1) love you, (2) know you, (3) know that, even though you didn’t do it, you still were responsible, that nine times out of ten, we can trace the origin of something to you–except when someone like me incites you to it, and sits in the back smirking at what happens, and (4) we still love you.

No, bmonk, I’d have to google it.

Oh…….

I found a Halloween sign at the dollar tree that says: INSANE ASYLUM. It is now hanging in the living room.

  Good Afternoon Everyone!

Hello Rmom, Bmonk, Sojo & Everyone

I wonder if I could get an urn that was also a working toy hearse? That would be fun!

Positive Thoughts to HopeandJoy and Family

Good Afternoon LuvH8.

Luv - I guess you could always go to their website or email them and ask. Doesn’t sound like an impossible request, but it might cost a pretty penny.

The football huddle was invented at the Gallaudet University, for the education of the deaf and hard of hearing, when the team noticed an opponent team trying to read their signals.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallaudet_University under Athletics: Football

and http://pr.gallaudet.edu/GallaudetHistory/page3.html

bmonk - Now that you wrote that, it does seem like I’d heard it before. (My memory is slipping.) I took ASL classes for a couple of years.

@Rmom–just remember the two sure-fire signs that you are getting old:

Your memory goes Shucks if I can remember what number two was…

Well, I do still really like the idea of being shot up into the sky as part of a firework.

Grog did suggest they should cuddle instead of huddling. Maybe it would make the team feel all warm and fuzzy?

bmonk - My son keeps asking me if I need Aricept. Seriously, my memory has made major declines in the last several years. With both parents having had dementia, it is something I’m well aware of the symptoms. My husband just prays that I’ll enjoy my insanity, and so far, I’d rather joke about it than cry.

Rmom - I just heard that B12 sublingually may help.

Sojo - My doctors are still monitoring the effects of various medications. I don’t want to throw something new into the mix at this point. Better living through chemicals, and all that.

Yes, we do have to try to hold on to what is important–and a memory is definitely very important!

I don’t know Bmonk, there are plenty of things I would rather not remember. I guess we don’t get to choose which parts of our memory we lose?

Not likely. But I’d still rather remember the parts I’d wish I didn’t along with the good bits, than remember neither.

Good evening tribe.

Hope&joy will keep your family in my prayers.

Kab I don’t do coding, but learned my medical terminology in the bad old days before PC and internet (B.S. in 1981, M.S.Ed. in 1984). I learned the old fashioned way….made flash cards. Index card with term on one side definition on the other.

I go by the strategy that “He who can laugh at himself, will never cease to be amused.” There are all sorts of benefits to losing my memory… I can hide my own Easter eggs. Buy my own gifts and still be surprised. Hear the same joke more than once, and find it just as funny the second time around.

It would be good to check with them first. From what I’ve heard B12 doesn’t conflect with antthing and has no bad effects (you could eat it by the bowl full without harm). Supposedly as you get older you have less and need it for brain and nerve functions. Some meds like anti-acid etc. reduce it. It’s cheap and sublingually is just as effective as a shot. Check with the doctors though, it may not hurt and might help. Just mentioned it as somthing to think about.

I heard a comedian (an older man) that had a routine about how good it was losing your memoriy. Every morning he could get up and see a new eptsode of I Love Lucy. It saved money too. When his son asked him about missing his birthday (and presents) he could look at him and say “Who are you?”

I’ll have to ask about it during my next visit - if I can remember.

At least losing my memory isn’t painful - most of the time. (It can be painful when I forget something is there and hit my head or other body part on it.)

I’ve done that! Especially the shelf I put over the washing machine, more than once.

That does hurt - doesn’t it?

Yes, right on the top of the head!

Good evening, Tribe!

Been a very long day to say the least. This is the first I have been home since my last post this morning. Whew!

Hi ♠Lonewolf♠ - Bet your glad to be home!

Hi, Sojo. You bet I am glad!

Busy day, Wolfie?

Hi, Rmom. I was putting in a new hot water heater for someone I know. Too many trips to the store and such.

It’s been an awful quiet day here.

It may be a quiet week too.

How come? Did I miss something?

It’s just a lot of people have said they may be busy.

Too many things to do and too little time to do them!

That seems to be the case too often!

Wolfie - Been there, done that! Well, hubby did most of the actual plumbing, but I assisted and usually had to be the one to buy parts.

Little Sister is being a good student and not playing computer during the week. I am so proud of her.    

hopeandjoy2 I hope this is not to late and you get to read this, I’m gonna break rules here all, My God be your Dr.s guide as they work with your love ones. May they also get the brain tumor out with no effects. There I said it.

Saucy the books also say use flash cards, but with on-line I can get extra help.

Time for my zzzzzz’s. Have a good turnover!

♪☼ P&L ☼♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Good night, Sojo! I keep telling myself I ought to start heading to bed, too. Guess I’d better actually do it…:>(

So light on comments and 9:30pm here I guess I will close myself though not on very long read some text. Then turn in. Little Sister will be busy with her homework. One subject can be done in class.

Good Night Sister Kab, Sojo, Rmom, HopeandJoy (happy thoughts), Saucy, Bmonk & Lurkers

Good Evening, Lonewolf

Good Night, Sojo

Good Night, Rmom
