Well, Good Morning, LuvH8.

Hi Lonewolf

Ummm…. Oooops?

I think I walked into something I don’t want to know about.

Good night you two!

P&L

Good night everyone :-)

Good Morning, Ooops! ♥Little Sister & ♠Lonewolf♠!

So much grape jelly and so little toast around.

Against my better judgement, I’ll have the eggs & sausage.

Here you go Grog. Enjoy!

Umm……. Good Morning!

Plods With Beer, are you too busy doing things that you would have to eliminate us if we knew about to say hello?

Cap’n Quaby, please say your ship hasn’t sprung a leak?

Good Night Little Sister & Lonewolf

Thanks and good night, Ooops!

Hello to all those here!

I’ll try a roasted bird.

Good Morning Doctor Toon!

Have a good snooze Doctor Toon.

Hello who is left here. I had to leave for class work. Descriptive paragraph with line limit is very difficult. Tis easier to say how an event is then describe. Glad I don’t write books.

I was reading ending comments about age and Big Sister sorry to say I’m older then you. For some at 80+ do not know about computer let alone Internet. My own mom in April will turn, please don’t tell her she dislikes BD’s more then me, turns 86. Knows nothing of Computer or Internet.

Next week is spring here a little early but better then cold weather. Maybe open windows. Wait until we get our gas bill.

Hello ♥Kab♥!

Good Morning Kab Sister & Sojo

Where did it land? Where did it land?

Hello Ooops! - I know nothing!

Oh! Then obviously I missed you……

Yay!!! That’s better!

Greetings TRIBE from your icicle pal of the deep freeze.

We still don’t have any heat but at least we have power and water. Our furnace cannot be fixed and we are on an [emergency] list for another one. The weather has warmed up so it is not too bad today. [Can that mean spring is coming soon? Please] We have had to use small heaters to try to take the chill [COLD] off but they aren’t too effective in a house this size. We have spent the last few days wrapped in every blanket we can find.

I haven’t posted for the last few days but I have been able to read all my toons. Thanks everyone for your good thoughts and prayers. They have been greatly appreciated. We shouldn’t be too bad if the weather doesn’t turn cold again. [ATTENTION SPRING. PLEASE COME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IF NOT SOONER]

[Ducks quickly out the door in case “someone” is still ready with the grape jelly gun”

serenasakitty - Good to hear you are okay. Hope all is fixed soon!

Ooops! - Tastes good but a bit messy!

Thanks Ooops the picture is just too cute. Did you know that I love cats?

Hi Sojo. Glad to see that you got out of the jam.

Serenasakitty, your screen name gave me a hint you might be fond of cats. I hope Spring comes soon for you. Then we can shoot chocolate syrup filled ice cream balls at you from the cannon.

[pokes head in, looks cautiously around]

Good afternoon, everyone!

I’m glad to hear that serena and family are OK. Not good–but “it could be worse.”

I do hope spring comes soon for you–at least the next week or so should see your temps above melting most days . . . and not much chance of snow?

Good Afternoon bmonk - It’s getting warmer here, up to 41° F. now, a bit warmer then predicted!

Good Afternoon Yukoneric!

If he’d get on Vixen and riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide, his nose would glow!

Hi, Sojo and Yukoneric.

Hello Bmonk & Yukoneric

Sojo!

I haven’t seen Plan 9 from Outer Space yet, but Monkey 2 and 3 of her friends had nothing to do on Super Bowels Funday……so they watched it, after we explained to them why they wanted to see it. There was skepticism at first. Then within ten minutes laughter and making fun of the movie. About halfway thru I brought them Flarps & Sqwakers, which were very loud.

When asked they said it was a really bad movie and they would definitely watch it again. I am pretty sure they are planning on who to invite next time.

Just once when I watch a scary movie would I like to see a guy fall down when running from a crazed weapon wielding killer.

Hi, Ooooops! and ♥Little Sister♥!

Should I be worried that you are here together?

Hello everybody :-)

Hello ♥Little Sister♥!

Ooops! - Glad to hear the results! Thank you.

Maybe! Oh and I have a question for you bmonk.

How is Holy Water considered Holy when there are no holes in it?

Actually that was a joke! :-)

Hello Sojo :-)

Well, the old recipe is to take ordinary water and boil the he|| out of it…

Don’t mind me bmonk I’m on a sugar rush. It’s my roommate’s fault for giving me a lot of brownies to eat.

I mean fudge.

Teeeeheeeeheee Little Sister

So appreciated the celebration for **Serenasakitty and to hear you have electricity. Hopefully, the emergency list for a furnace will bring one to you soon. I bet you and the cats are cozy during this time…mine sleeps by my pillow part of the night during cold times, and I sometimes go to sleep listening to his soothing purring.

Oh yeah before I forget…..

Ooops I am waiting patiently for a time to watch this really bad movie. Will keep you posted.

Hi Sojo, bmonk, and all

Hello HopeandJoy♫!

Grease monkey, Monkey wrench, and a banana in the tail pipe. Are these the ingredients of a car mechanic comedy, or another Curious George movie.

I wonder if Big Brother would know.

Hi all again.

HopeandJoy I had to say goodbye to my sweet Serena a little over a year ago but I still miss her, and all the others. I do not have a cat right now [ ;>( ] but I was sure grateful for the dog. She would climb up on my bed and sleep on my feet. That was not an unmixed blessing as she is as big as a horse [almost, anyway] even though she is only about 7 months old.

Oooops I am anxiously waiting for those chocolate covered ice cream balls. Please don’t make a mistake and send snow instead. We probably won’t be free of snow until July at this rate.

My two Chihuahuas Chica and Cocoa always cuddle up to me at night. They both are extreme bed hoggers, but I love them anyway.

I thought it was cute and I like your avatar as well serenasakitty :-)

Little Sister love your new avatar.

These comment swith-a-roo is going to drive me insane.

Serenasakitty Glad you have a dog..they are so grand… and maybe another cat will find its way to you someday.

Little Sister How did you get those kittens to pose so nicely…*: )

I found this picture online and that is the truth.

It’s official I am insane.

Look mommy I see a white clown. Perhaps it needs a little bit of suntan lotion.

Good evening, Tribe!

Done for the day. Now it is time to relax and to get ready for

Good Evening ♠Lonewolf♠!

Pizza Night!

Anything extra you have will be fine for me tonight ♠Lonewolf♠.

I would like to place an order for Pepperoni with two toppings of cheese.

What! I’ve heard of a loaf of bread, but I have yet to see anyone buy a loaf of pickles.

Hi, Sojo & Quiet Lil’ Sister! :^))

Lonewolf, may I sneak into your house and join you? Nothing I have around here looks interesting for supper.

It’s good to see you Big Brother, so how was your game the other night?

Tonight I am starting the oven going with a Pepperoni & Mushroom pizza with extra cheese!

Requests are filled on request and in the order in which they were takeb. Funny one liners might get your order moved up though!

Lonewolf sounds SO good Thin Crust, soft, yet crispy…Please, Please??!! Thank you so much.

Little Sis you ARE a little spacey!! I knew you didn’t REAlly pose those kittens too!! And I believe you as you always tell the truth like the good girl you are. * Teeheeeheeeeheeeeeeeeee* (giggle giggle)

Well I need to take something out of the fridge for dinner tonight. I’ll be back a little later.

(Giggles) Actually I just feel good tonight. I’m not tired or anything.

I’m glad!!

Hi, Serena & HopeandJoy♫. Good to see yous!

Serena, you are most welcome in my house.

Pizza orders are in the making and will begin popping up shortly! Enjoy, friends!

Good Evening, Tribandall

I think my hoppy friend is wanting to be fed too! I’ll share.

An early valentine

I just finished watchig a movie called Room For One More. I was skeptical at first, but it turned out to be hilarious at times and a heart-warming story starring Cary Grant.

Now I’m watching a Marx Bros. classic called Room Service

Good Evening Grog!

I actually like today’s Dilbert

Good evening, Sojourner

Good evening, Grog. In going through the comments, I noticed you were scarce. Busy day at work?

Hi, ♠Lonewolf♠. I won’t be commenting from work anymore.

Hi Grog Glad you are enjoying the movies.

Hi to Sojo too. I am going to read for a while. See ya’

Have a good evening, HopeandJoy♫

I decided on a TV dinner tonight.

I sorta have a ring story. I will try to make short. I think not quite sure my ring finger has gotten smaller. My wrist watch is little big too. Shedding pounds have helped.

Good evening everyone. Grog did you get into trouble for being on gocomics at work? I know I would. Big dept I work at has big brother eyes watching. Matter of fact someone tried Facebook and rankled some big shots. That someone got into trouble. It wasn’t me. I would have to ask permission and they can tell on my forced share if I had Facebook or something else. It’s even pushing for local paper or news channel.

Good Evening ♥Kab♥!

Hello Little Sister I don’t think I can can TV dinners. To much salt and fat. We use a lot of ground turkey here.

How is everyone?

Not yet, ♥Kab♥ I’ll just have to wait and see. I get my work done and never let this or any other site interfere with my job and never will.

As Wagner says on Room Service

So you to have big brother watching. Found out someone at the Dept I work at put in a request from computer techs wanted to get his wireless lap top he can use. I don’t think this is going to happen. I know I have to be carefull where I’m at. I get my work done to. Now On-Base scanner is not working.

I have full access to a computer and the internet, but I don’t have the time for anything other than a quick “Hello” and I don’t have all that much time to guarantee that. Just too busy with the extreme cold temps.

As I have been most of the time, ♠Lonewolf♠, but there are slow days, particularly in the first half of the year.

I usually catch up on comments at lunch as I think you do….but not any more.

I just don’t want to cook tonight.

My sugar rush wore off. Does anyone here think that I should eat more fudge?

To Oooppps and anyone else who may have voice a concern for me and I didn’t see it.

I’ve been under the weather about two weeks. It peaked this past weekend and I was fortunate I already had a doctor’s appointment. I was starting to get bronchitis. Some antibiotics, an inhaler and two days of bedrest and all I have is a hoarse voice. I just finished up the antibiotics and hope for a quiet weekend to rest my voice. It’s heck being on the phone all day with a hoarse voice.

I’ve got to boogie on now, will be out most of the day tomorrow. I think the SSBN Erehwon will pull into the Big Top dock tomorrow afternoon after making a food run. See you then.

Hi Quaby! I guess I missed it too. Take care of yourself!

Hello Quaby - Glad your better, hope you can get all the rest you need!

Okay guys I asked a question a day ago and Big Sister did answer my question. When did gocomics start?

Quaby I’m sorry you are feeling bad I didn’t know.

Hi and have a good night Doctor Toon.

Quaby I do hope you get to feeling better real soon and thanks for checking in as you were missed here.

Hi Kab hope you have a good weekend. Be sure and check back to around 100 posts to get my early valentine.

Peace and Love to you too, Doc You’ll be a good “boss”

Eye see you Just playing around. Goodnight.

What a sweet an adorable kitty cat.

Good Night HopeandJoy♫.

Hello all. Nice avators icons all. I thought about valentine hearts. I think I might have dropped a ring size. Not sure yet. I have two rings. To long of a story for one but bankruptcy on someone ages ago not us plays in for one ring. My first one is size smaller the other bigger. Not sure who will be on for Saturday. I hope Valentine’s here will be nice. Hubby already gave me something nice. I will be working with someone on English on am time. You all have a nice visit. Night.

Good night, HopeandJoy♫

Good night HopeandJoy :-)

And now it’s my turn to call it a night.

Good night, ♥Little Sister♥, Sojourner & everyone else.

Good Night ♥Kab♥ and Grog.

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Gosh! I just missed Sojo.

Cap’n Quaby, I am sorry you haven’t been feeling well. But I am glad you are on the mend and will be bringing your crew in this weekend. I almost hated to see the end of the spammers because your adventures became more infrequent. Maybe you can find a new enemy to tell us about?
