Dusty, I can’t blame you after that MP3 ordeal you went through.

Oh Hello there Grog :-)

Tonight I will pick the KFC and Bush’s Baked beans. To drink I would like an Ice Cold Pepsi.

Thank you

Good Morning, ♥Little Sister♥

You got it. Enjoy!

Mmm! Yummy, yummy delicious!

Let’s see….. I would like a Nuclear Irish Cream Coffee Mocha Milkshake, please?

Good Evening Little Sister & Grog

Hello Big Sister :-)

Good Moring, Ooops!

As long as you promise not to spill it.

Hello Little Sister!

I am in one of those should do everything so why not do nothing stages. How are you doing this week?

And now a quick shout out.

Hey Frankr! When are you going to come back?

Okay I’m good…..For now!

I’m doing okay, meaning I’m one of those who follow a routine, and hates it when something gets out of place, because then it will bug me until I make it right again.

Now where did I put my TV remote?

Yes, that is a good question…. I thought perhaps we had scared him away. I was hoping to see more of his artwork.

Grog, I promise not to spill, if you promise not to knock me down.

Well if Grog knocks you down at least he is a gentleman and will help you back up.

Right Grog!

(Gives the dead serious eye look)

Ooops always blames it on me. The problem is she is…

Clumsy!

Now now! It’s not nice to place the blame on anybody, especially on my Big Sister.

Be nice!

(Walks over to Big Sister and hands her the grape Jelly gun.)

Well I’m certainly not going to take the blame for something I didn’t do.

Don’t Even Think about it!

Good night. :-)

  I am not clumsy!

I am always misplacing my glasses or keys or wallet. It is terrible looking for your glasses when you can’t see. Of course, it is really hard to find them when you you forgot you are wearing them and it just hasn’t registered that yes you can see.

(Slowly backs out the door)

Good Night, Tribe!

GROG I’ll have my usual DOC TOON’S WORLD FAMOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE if you please. Drooling, I mean glancing over your menu, I saw KITTY’S platter. Haven’t seen KITTY in a long time, long enough for my two lovable felines to return to my lap while I peruse GoComics. They should not allow such fierce photos on the net.

Good Morning, Tribeandall

I’ll have the huevos rancheros please. Thanks, Grog.

Good Morning, Lewreader & ♠Lonewolf ♠

Your orders are up.

♠Lonewolf♠, I’ll wager you fell asleep early and just woke up now.

Hi, Grog. Yes I did fall asleep early.

Not good. I have to be at work at 8:00.

So did I. I seem to be sleeping in spurts today.

I’m glad I don’t have to work, but I do want to be out and about early today.

My tummy pills have not been working to neutralize the other stuff they are giving me.

Sounds like it’s time to take another trip to the Doctor.

Right now I need to try to get some zzzzzzzzz’s.

Thanks for the breakfast, Grog! Good Night, my friend.

Good night, ♠Lonewolf♠

Good Morning, Doctor Toon.

And I’m starting to get sick of the one I’m looking at - but I dare not change it.

I wasn’t planning to, Doc, but down here I don’t think it’ll be snowing in the Houston area any time soon. Weather is very spring-like. It’ll actually make it to 80 tomorrow.

Time for me to take a run at my errands.

BBL.

Good morning, Tribe

Good morning, Doc & Grog.

Getting ready for work. Catch you all when I return.

Have a great day everyone!

P&L

Good Morning ♠Lonewolf♠,♥♥ Little Sister♥♥, LuvH8/BBS,Grog,Doctor Toon, Plodswbeer, Doc Toon, MontanaLady, ♪Hopeandjoy♫Serenasakitty,, Rmom,Bmon,Ladyhawk,,lakesnake ,Digital Frog,Lewreader;MisngNOLA,Woodeye, Yukoneric,Alain Harper,bossyheifer

We had freezing rain. Days ago I emailed GC contact guess didn’t count about the problems. So I have to wait also before I change. Spring pictures would be nice.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have ♥Little Sister♥’s Special Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy.

Good morning, friends! That chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes & gravy sounds good, I’ll take that too.

Good Morning Rmom.

Hi, Sojo! I’m glad we got home when we did last night. The bridges were getting slippery, and it sounds like there was more than one fatality accident last night because of the weather.

Once it gets above freezing, I need to go to the library to pick up a book I ordered.

It could still be a couple of hours until then.

Hello to you both. Someone I know was driving in freezing rain NW near Hays to visit with hubby’s mom. Gas there is $4.37. Here $4.25 :(

Good Morning ♥Kab♥!

Hi, Kab! - Are you sure it is $4.25? I thought it was $3.25 in Wichita, but I haven’t been there for a few days.

Good Mooooorrrrrnnnnning, Everyone!

Went to bed around 2:00 a.m., and pulled out of bed at 9:30. Wow…… We had a lovely dinner last night, and it was fun being with good friends. The lasagna turned out terrific! and, fortunately, there is enough lemon meringue pie for a slice for breakfast. (yum).

Maybe Ooops can squirt some grape jelly over this way for a topping on the pie?

We’re in for a few days of a warming trend. ‘Gonna be in the 30’s for a few days!

Have a great Saturday, Everyone.

Phlooom! Phlooom! Splaaat! Splaaat!

There you go Montana Lady. Sorry about your pants Rmom, (giggling) you might want to change before you sit down.

Now you tell me, Oooops! Hi, Montana Lady! - We’re supposed to be up in the 50’s or 60’s for the next several days. Got the book, now to fix brunch.

Hello Montana Lady and Ooops!

Why did it have to rain?

Why?

I’ve had enough of it, just like everyone has had enough of snow.

Rmom yes I meant $3.25 instead of $4.25 though heading for $4.00:( Two days ago was $3.15 then jumped overnight.

♥Little Sister♥ you must not live where CA is getting snow. We need that rain here to dry.

I’m not going to be here all day. Gets to lonesome.

Hello ♥Little Sister♥ - Keep yourself dry! :-)

The last time it rained, the streets in my neighborhood were buried ankle deep in rain water. This made it fun for drivers because they would break the speed limit to spray the water up. It was a thrill for the neighborhood kids.

Sister Kab, I used to live where California got snow. My last memory of it was being rushed back into the house because my hands were in danger of getting frostbite.

I was lucky that I didn’t get frostbite, but it was scary for awhile.

That would be scary.

Is it not a Little late for NEW YEARS!!!!!!

Hello Joylion - Welcome to the Big Top! This toon is not made anymore but is in re-runs which is off the current time.

Good Afternoon Tribe!

Welcome, Joylion

Good Afternoon ♠Lonewolf♠!

Basketball Update

Okla.St. just beat Texas Tech. by 2 points. :-)

Hi, Sojo. Done for the day. I’m glad and I am going to take it easy since I don’t have pool league today. I have got a nasty pain in my side that hurts like crazy when I move fast or cough. Hope it’s not serious. I can’t afford to be off work, nor do I want to jeopardize this job. It’s a good one!

♠Lonewolf♠ - I hope taking it easy the rest of the day takes care of it. I’ll keep that in my thoughts and prayers.

We’ll see by tomorrow, Sojo. Been bothering me since I did it twisting while working on a car Wednesday.

It could be a muscel strain which will take time. It could also be your ribs, probably the cartridge connecting them. If that’s it it could take a long time to get over as that takes a long time to heal. If that’s it usually time is all that can help. I once cracked 3 ribs from severe coughing and it took over half a year before the pain stopped (it did get better with time).

♠Lonewolf♠ will keep you in my prayers. Take care of yourself!

Hi Sojo and the rest who may come back on People traveling to class from KC on I-70 East said lots of cars in ditches early this a.m. 32° at 3:30. Fine mist.

Ooopsmust have made a rebound shot from Rmom’s backside in Kansas to Montana Lady in Montana…..Extremely good shooting, girl.

♥Kab♥ $3.03 here last night.

Comment on vision by Ooops and Rmom (I think) I forget to put on my glasses sometimes in early a.m. and wander around doing coffee and this and that just fine…. and then I realize I am not seeing well and wonder what’s wrong….very strange.

Good afternoon, HopeandJoy♫. Thank you! :^)

Hello HopeandJoy♫! Up 33° here.

Have you seen Pickles today?

Sojo, when all of my problems started almost two years ago, I cracked several ribs coughing. That’s what pretty much forced me to go to the VA hospital emergency room. They eventually (after a year poking and prodding) diagnosed me with a lung infection which one doctor calls sarcoidosis and another one says I had a very bad case of pneumonia. Neither one could understand how I was still functioning. I told him it was the willpower of having to pay the bills! LOL

♠Lonewolf♠ - Sorry to hear that.. Having to pay bills is a big incentive to keep going. That’s a lot to deal with, I hope what happened Wednesday doesn’t add to your problems.

Me too, Sojo. Me too!

Good looking husky!

What is your husky playing with???

Thanks, Sojo.

A rope for tugging, LuvH8.

Have those of you with messed up avatars tried periodically changing your avatar again? Or maybe deleting it to see if at least you can revert to the gray question guy?

Lonewolf, since you insist on being active you might try (if you aren’t already) those heat or cold pads that you stick on and one of those back support belts. I’ve always wondered how much support they give but they also help remind you to keep your back straight. BE CAREFUL!

If it was my back the belt might be an option, but it is in my right side, LuvH8

Well……. hmmmm…… I wonder if amazon has dog chew toys in that shape. They would be perfect for households with teenage daughters. (maniacal laughter)

Well, it is still good not to hurt your back… it kind of acts like a reminder to be careful of your torso in general though, or at least it did when I had to wear one. I thought they were stupid and didn’t like them, but I realize now that I tended to be more careful just because it reminded me I was doing something that could result in injury.

No more suggestions, I never did learn to bend correctly. (Blows Raspberry)

Hey, Everyone…..

Love your Husky, Lonewolf…….

Maybe GoComics is going to let us all change our avatars on the first of each month???? They might not like us changing them so often??

Either way……Happy 165th anniversary of Buffalo Bill Cody’s Birth today. (wanted to change my avatar tomorrow, but I guess I’ll leave BB on for a while)

I am lousy at Solitaire today. Maybe I should try a different card game.

Ahh! I would love to have a Husky, or even a pit bull, but I think my little rats, er! I mean chihuahuas would disown me if I tried to go out and get one.

About the avatar problem, Yes I am tired at staring at my name with a line slashing through it.

I’ll just be faceless instead.

Hello Tribe

Busy day, but home now in time for Being Human. Just lazy on this hazy day. We’ve rolled in various puddings for the evening snack, but don’t get too excited, it’s canned pudding.

Yawn Got a case of the sleepies, too….

Hello ♥Little Sister♥!

Hello Quaby - Thank you!

There was supposed to be an open house event at my college today, but I didn’t go, on account of it raining today, So I don’t have the grade to my test yet.

Hello Sojo How goes your day today? :-)

Good evening, Montana Lady, Quaby & Lil’ Sister

Thank you Montana Lady!

Doc Holiday thanks you, too!

Or should that be Rhank Roo? :^)

Good evening to you too Big Brother. :-)

♥Little Sister♥ - I’ve had a good day. Added a programe on my computer to read the books I’ve been reading on my phone. Hardly any mostiure here but overcast all day. May have some T-storms tomorrow. Sorry for all the rain your getting.

We’ve still got snow on the ground from last evening. We only got a couple of inches, but it will be in the mid forties tomorrow and I’m sure it will all melt.

Now if only the winter would all melt away!

Good thing is that all of that snow that we got melted and there were no reports of flooding in these parts.

Good evening all.

Howdy, Kab!

I have forgotten who the newcomer is I wish to welcome him. ♠Lonewolf♠ I hope you feel better I caught I believe you said your side is hurting. Is this your right side?

I’ve been home all day. Got caught up on tapes. Did a little school work and typed up next paragrah test.

In a while I will be reading a book. If my hubby was reading this book he would be done. I’m half way through

Yes, Kab, my right side.

Good Evening, Tribe!

It must be Spring. My head feels like a football. And I didn’t even have anything to drink yet

It got dark on me…….

WAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Grog, does that mean your sinuses are acting up?

Good Evening Grog!

Hi, Little Sister

I am sending this from my new iPad.

Oddly enough, my sinuses feel fine.

Good Evening, Grog.

Hi, Lonewolf. I don’t think there is a star on this key pad so I can’t do bold.

Hi & bye, Doc!

Ipad! Cool have fun.

Hi, Sojourner!

Hi and Bye Doctor Toon.

Grog - That gives you a project to figure out a work-around!

Grog, doing the posting on my phone was pretty easy today.

Hi & Bye, Doc.

Sojourner, I am still very much a novice.

Grog, I don’t know much about IPads. It was enough with this MyTouch 4g.

And this is a whole new learning experience, ♠Lonewolf♠

Good evening, Pseudonymous! The more the merrier!!

NUTS!

You don’t know me very well do you?

Hi I’m insane please to meet you.

Does that mean you found the asterisk on the IPad, Grog?

No, this is through my computer. I ama chatting on my iPad and I have not yet mastered multi-tasking. Maybe I never will

Hang in there Grog It takes time to learn something new.

I figured it out, Little Sister. But I need to figure out what passes for the {ALT} button.

Well, with that accomplished, I think I will call it a night.

Hello pseudonymous!

Check this link out. It is about a four eared cat. It is from our area and some of this video was shot in the library where my daughter works. She is in the background on several clips of the video. Cool!

Yoda the cat

Good night Grog. I hope you catch the video.

Good Night Grog.

♠Lonewolf♠ - Neat video!

With my daughter in it, it’s even better for me, Sojo. Thanks

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Good night, Sojo.

Phooey Good night Sojo (who is already gone) Thanks for Link to Pickles…giggled when I read it.

I am happy for the new dog. He will have a good place to stay now with you, Doc Toon and Wildcheetah cats, rats and of course kiddos.

Lonewolf Went to play tonight at University and saw an actor from Chicago…She is pretty big there. Lovely lady came here to do benefit performance for student scholarships. Her parents live here. Her name is Janet Ulrich Brooks and she graduated from here.

and so to ZZZZZZZZZZZZ * ; )

Sounds pretty cool with that actress, Janet Ulrich Brooks. I can’t say that I have heard of her though.

Good Night, HopeandJoy♫

I’m done with dinner.

Let’s get ready for…….. TURN-OVER!
