Good Morning ♥Little Sister♥!

I’ll take a Deluxe Mushroom burger please.

Little Sis……I haven’t had a Tuna Melt Sandwich in ages……I’ll be happy to try yours!!! And maybe a Cherry Coke to go with it. Yum!!

Hope and Joy…..yes to using the brush on two different blossoms on the same tree. We had to do that to our zuchinni and eggplant last summer. The bees just didn’t get into the greenhouse enough to pollinate them. Hopefully this year will be different.

Good Morning Montana Lady!

Little Sis…..I’ve always had a problem with time travel….

or is that the Time-Space Continuum?

Your orders are ready Sojo and Montana Lady :-)

I’m not sure either.

Good morning, Sojo

I was reading yesterday’s postings……..do we have a new member? Wolfbyte?? Sounds like he is related to a few folks here? Or is that just the friendliness of the Tribe??

I know nothing!

Thank you ♥Little Sister♥ - Tastes great!

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Montana Lady, Wolfbyte is my Dad. I would never had known about Gocomics and all the wonderful people here if it wasn’t for him.

Hello Big Sister :-)

Oh, okay…. Then is the Patty melt made with real melted Pattys? May I get that on rye bread with a thin layer of wasabi and some provolone a side of fries with green tobasco sauce and a large Cherry Pepsi, please? No bones in the Patty and all intestines removed please. (stomach acid makes me burpy)

Here you go Big Sister.

  Hello Little Sister!

Wow…….you all have a big family!!!!! So, I’ll look forward to hearing from “Dad” a lot. This whole “wolf” family is really neat!!!!

Did I tell you we have had 3 grey wolves in our neighborhood? We haven’t seen them since November, but they were here! (I’m partial to wolves)

Did you get any snow, Lil Sis? Our kids have all called excited about the dusting they have gotten in the last few days.

Thank you!

Good Night Peoples & Others!

 

Hmm! A hay stack! Here I have this little needle. I will sneaky-like place it in the hay stack and quietly slip away.

I didn’t do it. You didn’t see me do it. Therefore ………..

I AM INNOCENT!

Good night everyone ;-)

Well, Folks…..it’s time for me to get my zzzzzzzzzz’s

P & L

Ooops! Good Evening Montana Lady, Sojo & Everyone!

If Ooops! causes some disaster to happen and nobody sees her do it, is she still guilty?

(The question is self-refuting, but I’ll ask it anyway.)

As far as I know Montana Lady, the only two actually related are Wolfbyte & Little Sister.

Hello Alain

Don’t you think disaster is just a bit harsh? That ship was really ugly anyway, I was doing the world a favor. Ummmm………. I mean, what ship? What do you mean that there were supposed to be five cannon balls, not three? It was like this when I arrived. (from changing into clean clothes, shhh!)

Am I seeing double or have I watched one to many Quantum Leap episodes.

This reminds me more of a Star Trek episode called Mirror, Mirror

Good Morning, ♥Little Sister♥, Sojourner, Montana Lady, Ooops! & WOLFBYTE!

♥Little Sister♥, I’ll take 10 Philly Cheese Steaks to go please (since no one else is ordering them and I love Cheese Steak almost as much as cheese cake).

It looks like a lot of strips haven’t updated yet.

I’m not eating until I turn blue in the face and I can slip into my pants without Vaseline. However I’m sure that DOC TOON’S WORLD FAMOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE wouldn’t hurt.

Good Morning, Tribeandall

Headed out the door. It’s a sheet of ice here in ChiTown!

Have a great day everyone.

P&L

Took me an hour to get the ice off my car this morning, Terry 45 minutes to chip the door open and 15 to melt it to scraping temperature.

I thought meeting yourself in the past rips the space - time continuum.

Good Morning TRIBE! toontour shouldn’t take long…. Pooph

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

I remember Wolfbyte on here before. Though at the time there where several sheets of comments posted to many for me and a little too much. I’m so glad we missed out on tornadoes yesterday. Part of OK and other states got hit I hope more in open country.

It is after 8am and still some strips have not updated. Central time.

Morning All!

Looks like GC will not get the technical computer problem ever fixed.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

Good Morning Doctor Toon!

Hello pseudonymous!

Hello pseudonymous my place of part time of work. I would get in trouble for GC or even BT. Computers are monitored. No Facebook, myspace or any other uses. I need approval from upper. Matter of face someone in a different dept tried this and DIO went to top boss. Within dept I work at a worker wanted to get wireless for lap top useage and managment turned down.

Have a good snooze Doctor Toon.

Hello ♥Kab♥!

Good morning, crew!

Especially: pseudonymous, DocT, Sojo& ♥Kab♥!

I time travel all the time. Every day I travel exactly 24 hours into the future.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much control of the rate of change.

In sympathy with Dusty, I will have some time-cooled soup, and (in sympathy with DocT) some Nuclear Coffee.

♠Lonewolf♠, about that Nature show on the wolves and bears in Yellowstone–IIRC, it’s a rerun–I think I saw it a year ago, maybe longer–so it should be on the Nature site. Of course, if you’ve looked, you already know that one way or the other…

Hello bmonk!

If you turned off the dome light and placed a heater set on a very low setting in your car. Plug the heater into an extension cord and then lock up as normal at night. Could you then plug the extension cord in when you get up to get ready in the morning and have your car at least partially defrosted when you had to leave? Or would it possibly cause cracked windows? I think it should be okay on a low setting but you might want to check on it.

Hello Ooops!!

Oooops!, If you had a heater with a thermostat that shuts off when it gets too hot, that would be safer. Still better–put it on a board or something to be sure it doesn’t light any fires. A low heat shouldn’t crack windows–any more than warming up the interior does when you are driving.

Plods with Beer said, about 4 temporal encounters ago

I thought meeting yourself in the past rips the space - time continuum.

Depends on the writer. Robert A. Heinlein wrote two short stories, “—All You Zombies—” and the earlier “By His Bootstraps”, and used these sort of themes in other works. He worked it so that the encounters played out naturally in each case–out of surprise or whatever, each version acted as needed to play out the encounter without changes.

David Gerrold wrote the novel The Man Who Folded Himself (1973) with self-encounters, but he got out of the problems by having multiple universes so that, when you meet yourself, a new history-timeline is created.

Hi, friends! pseudonymous - I’ll answer for Kab because I think she’s left for work. “BT” stands for “Big Top”. She works at a place dealing with juvenile delinquents, so perhaps they are worried about one of the youths accessing inappropriate videos or sites.

Hello Rmom!

I tried to answer earlier but lost my connection and had to reset my wireless connection.

@Sojo, I had problems with the site for about 15 minutes too.

Hi, Rmom!

Now I must go for a while, at least.

Hi & Bye, bmonk! Bye, pseudonymous! I, too, had trouble with this site. I ended up closing the browser and reopening it, which either solved the problem or the timing was just right.

Good afternoon, Everyone…..

Just had to pop in and see what mischief everyone is up to….

One of our favorite old TV shows was Quantum Leap……have it on DVD……that was quite a concept.

See y’all later.

Hi and Bye Montana Lady!

Well…. Just in case the dome light doesn’t turn all the way off. I keep mine off anyway (not sure why). I just thought that such a thing might cut down on ice scraping and the time it takes to get the door open for people like Plods Through Beer.

Good Afternoon Peoples!

Good Afternoon Ooops! - Hope your snow hos left and you have a blue sky.

Hi & Bye, M’Lady! Hi, Ooops! There’s a reason why having a garage is a real plus. Thankfully, for the last 25+ years, I’ve been able to park under cover. Some people in KS have bought a remote starter for their vehicle, so they can start their cars to get it warmed up, without needing to get inside it first. (The vehicle will stay locked up, which helps prevent theft, as well.)

Oooops! - Having the dome light off is good if you’re trying to be sneaky. However, I do hear that it is wise to turn it on if you get stopped by law enforcement after dark.

I never think to turn it on when law enforcement stops me. But then I don’t open the door either. I’ve always had at least two usually three sets of car keys. So, if I was cognizant enough to think of warming up the car. I would leave one set in the car, lock the door and go inside for cold water to defrost the windows without all this scraping stuff once the inside had warmed up enough I knew the windows wouldn’t freeze right back up.

Sojo, I am back to gray skies and rain thank you very much. I am grateful to have temperatures below 20° be a Big Deal.

Oooops! - I’ve done that before. I’ve heard recently that unless a vehicle has a remote starter installed, it is illegal to leave an unoccupied car running in Wichita. Too many stolen cars, I guess. Well, I need to get ready for class. Have fun!

Have a good class time Rmom.

So… I am imagining people aren’t using car covers because they get too bogged down with all the snow and ice? Why not try one or two smaller covers over the just the middle part of the car held on place with stakes in the ground or bungie cords? If you are only covering the parts of the car you have to scrape off…..?

Instant classic.

Hello Steelblade!

Hello The Sojourner.

Aaah! Well…… good thing it isn’t me. Of course at least I would have tried it with something I didn’t care about. Probably would have had to use bungie cords… moisture would have got underneath creating a bigger problem.

Has anyone considered the merits of a blowtorch? I hear they are awfully fun to use. You might want to try ‘helping’ someone defrost their car before you try it on your own. Just in case. It is good to be helpful.

In the late 30s or perhaps in the 40s I had an uncle that invented a way to defrost his windshield. He put a candle on the dash to heat it. After cracking the windshield he decided it wasn’t such a good idea.

In Gma’s car you have to choose between seeing out the front window and having heat. Seeing out the back window seems not to be a choice.

Nice animation Ooops!

Good evening, Tribe!

I’m off to a late start tonight.

Good Evening Grog!

Watching 2001 made for TV Murder on the Orient Express. Just started, will see if it’s worth seeing.

Good evening, Sojourner!

Good evening, Tribe

Just enough time to say Hi and head out the door to pool league. Have a great evening everyone!

P&L

Good Evening ♠Lonewolf♠ and Doctor Toon!

Have a good evening at pool ♠Lonewolf♠!

Hello Doctor Toon & ♠Lonewolf♠

Hi to all!

Thanks Montana Lady for your pollination update. I have been gone most of the day taking my sister to the Doc near KC…Beeeuuutiful day it was!! Hi Sojo, Doc Toon Missed out on saying Hi to others. Don’t you love all the cute graphics that Ooops finds to share with us?! Hope your movie was good Grog

Hi HopeandJoy♫. The movies good so far.

I am having an irresistable urge to go and change my avatar and INSTEAD BE FACELESS like some of you have because THIS GO COMICS WEBSITE HAS GONE SOMEWHERE ELSE INSTEAD OF HELPING FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!!

Hello Everyone :-)

My kitty cat face is bugging me!

Hi, ♥Little Sister♥

I don’t like not seeing my avatar either. It’s like an article of clothing which we like to change to keep fresh.

Hello HopeandJoy♫ and ♥Little Sister♥!

Why hello there Sojo :-)

Sometimes I wonder if the Mods even read our comments. or if they’re just sitting back relaxing with a doughnut in one hand and a beer in the other.

I don’t mean to speak badly and I’m sorry for that, but enough is enough.

We miss our avatars.

They did fix the spam problems. Comment times seem to be fixed. Refresh time is generaly better. The avatar problem seems to be all that’s left and it goes through Amazon.com so they may have to be making them fix their end.

Greetings TRIBE

Awhile ago some people were talking about keeping their cars covered. I don’t have a garage so I just cover the windsheild with a blanket. It isn’t perfect but it cuts down on the scraping. A lot of the time somebody would snicker at me for doing that but I didn’t mind. Later they would be scraping and chipping but I would just whip off the blanket aand go home.

While living in Northern California, My dad would use a tarp to cover his truck during the winter.

Hello serenasakitty!

Hi Serena ——————– I don’t think they read the comments. There are too many to keep up with. The best way is to bring it to their attention by contacting them.

I’m sure that a lot of us have done that already.

I did it! I got my first college “A” on my test.

CONGRATS ♥LITTLE SISTER♥!!!

Great little Sister. the most important grade is usually the final one though. A lot of the courses are usually heavily weighted toward the final

Don’t I know it, but at least It gave me self esteem knowing that I can do it if I put my mind to it.

It’s past my bed time. Good night, Tribeandall

See you tomorrow Grog.

Hello for not too long all. ♥Little Sister♥ consider this a high five for your A. Good job.

I just want some to know I use the word dept as I don’t want known place of employment.

Good Night Grog.

Hello ♥Kab♥!

Like I said a few minutes ago I won’t be up very long. And again ♥Little Sister♥ great job on that A. For me if I make C’s on some subject’s I’m not interested in I will be happy. Good night.

Good Night ♥Kab♥.

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Good idea Sister Kab. :-)

*♥Little Sister♥ Smiles and Cheers for your A * I understand what you mean about self-esteem…when I went back to school, I was so uncertain about whether I could make the grades required for my nursing degree. Every little bit helps!!

Two weeks ago, GC sent me an email and said thank you and they would be looking into the avatar problem.

HO Hummmm and goodnight

FYI Just had another reply stating ”We are diligently working on this problem and hope to have it resolved soon We shall see.

I hope so, because it’s drafty cold without my Avatar.
