Wow…. nope…. can’t do it….. one super large DWFNC to go, please

Good Morning ♠Lonewolf♠!

Good morning, Sojo & Lonewolf.

Good Morning Grog!

Warning - Factoid:

Fifty years ago on April 12, 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space, ushering in the era of human spaceflight.

Another long day, Grog?

♠Lonewolf♠ - Don’t know if you saw today’s Shoe.

Greetings TRIBE

WE FINALLY GOT A FURNACE!!!!!!!!!! Of course, it is warming up now and hopefully we won’t need it for awhile. [a loooong while] but we shouldn’t freeze next winter. We have the summer to get it hooked up with all the vents, etc.

We are slowly getting all the repairs, painting etc. done on the house. It is looking much better.

All that and the weather is really nice. Most of the huge piles of snow and ice is gone.

Yes, life is good.

Ooops Are you SURE we have to have a working mind to comment here? I’m in trouble.

Hello serena - Good news to hear!

Hi, Serena.

WOOHOO!!!

At least you know next winter will be quite different in your house!!

Serena, that mind thing goes for many of us here. LOL

Good one, Sojo. Thanks for the link.

Don’t want to go non=sequitur, but anyone who told you I went back to sleep is either a meteorologist, an economist, or a politician. I just lay down to keep my cats company and probably never even closed my eyes. Now if BT will only give testimony to SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED. Gotta go, cats are lonely.

So for some inane reason I woke up at 4am decided to take a shower, visited, went back to sleep and woke up too late to take out the trash. Figures!

Yay! Happy Dance!

So we do not need….   to use our minds   a properly functioning mind   a rodent free mind   a quiet mind

We can have….   a confuzzled mind   a random mind   an easily distrac   an obsessed mind

Hello Sir Lew and Ooops!

Good Morning, peoples! especially: ♠Lonewolf♠, Lewreader, Ooops!, & Sojo!

I’m glad we don’t need a functioning mind to comment here–

They say great minds think alike. Which is what worries me when I think the same as you guys…

Good afternoon, Bmonk!

Hi Sojo! I was going to show you a picture of my rock in a jar but Photobucket isn’t letting me into my account.

Sir Lew, I saw you here every time I was awake. I wonder though if you are excused from jury duty based on ….. can you testify?  

Hello Lonewolf & Bmonk

If it helps, I try not to think. I find people get irritated when I think for myself. Maybe if I could just resist the urge to say or act on what I think? Naaaaah!!!

Hello bmonk - Maybe all of our minds are so great we don’t know it?

Good morning, serena, Ooops, & bmonk

Thanfully my iPod has been keeping me occupied, Lonewolf. There’s little else to do around here right now.

LUNCH TIME!!!

Hi, friends!

Good Afternoon Rmom!

Good Afternoon, Rmom!!

Hi, Sojo & Wolfie! Wolfie - Are you working hard, or taking more time to rest up?

I’m at home once again today, Rmom.

I’m not liking it either. :^(

((((Wolfie))))

I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. Thankfully, most of my recent health issues are minor enough that I can just take some ibuprofen or other OTC med and keep going.

Oh! And so far it is just a little cold, of course …….

I am sorry you don’t feel well Lonewolf. This is going to seem like it comes from a really twisted mind:

  Happy Sick Person Dance!!!

  The hospital does not allow sick people, I get to stay home and not have to take care of any other person (in theory). Of course, there is a lot of things to do. (makes blechy face).

Hi, Rmom

Hi, Grog & Ooooops!

Hello again, Tribe! Fifty years ago on April 12, 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space, ushering in the era of human spaceflight.

Meanwhile, 150 years ago today, the American Civil War began. Or so I read this morning.

Hello Johanan!

Things to do.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Hi Smiley Mom & Johanan

Have great accomplishments Sojo.

I must not be sick enough….. I keep doing things! Oh well, maybe tomorrow as long as everyone is afraid of my germs (even if it is a little bitty cold thingy they leave me alone.

Where is our HopeandJoy? Did I miss something?

Ooooops! - This is the last thing Hope&Joy has posted at gocomics:

Hopeandjoy♫ said, 6 days ago (April 6)

Everyone is outside maybe? I am off on another adventure tomorrow…going to a specialist in KC. I will be in touch.

Well that isn’t good. Thank you Smiley Mom

Oooops! - I agree, that isn’t good. I hope she’s okay.

I hope she is okay too. She is really nice and funny.

Hello to you all. :-)

Hello All. I just stopped in for a moment.

Lonewolf, Ooops, Hope and Joy and everyone else not feeling up to par, I hope you are all feeling better very soon.

Doc don’t work too hard. You don’t want to put yopurself out of a job.

(((((((TRIBE))))))))))

Good evening Tribe! Been a loooong time.

Hi, Mopar! Good to see you again!

Hello RMom!

Mopar - How are you doing?

Doin OK for an old man. How about you?

I think I’m aging faster than my parents did, or I’m just a wimp. But, other than the aches and pains, I’m enjoying life for the most part. Youngest finished homeschooling last summer, so both sons are living at home and going to college. I’m taking one class with the youngest, and sorting out junk I’ve never had time to bother with before.

Hello Smiley R Mom and MoParMitch :-)

Hi, Lil’ Sis! How’s your accounting studies coming along? Do they still make you write it all out, or do they allow you to use a computer?

It’s a pain, but I do recieve help.

I do a little bit of both actually.

Lil’ Sis - That’s good. My youngest is working on his Accounting Assistant degree. I taught him Accounting in high school, but he hasn’t taken any at the college level yet. I took Accounting in college, but that was back before personal computers - almost before calculators. I just wondered how it is taught now. Mopar - It was good to “see” you again! Don’t stay away so long again. I’d love to stick around and chat, but my refresh speed is incredibly slow, and I need to get to bed. Good night!

Good Evening, Tribe

I know I missed most everyone, but I stopped by to say “Good Night”.
