Ah, hello JFri. I am looking forward to your breakfast. Will it be a ride to a restaurant, will it be something off your grill. What pray tell are we to do for breakfast, sir?

Carmy, yes Dirty was one of the bears. I only wish that I would have thought to base a comic strip on my adventures.

dry young lady you are not old dont make me tell you again!!!! :0P

Carmy you are getting good at this figuring me out. :0)

MORNING MARG! thanks that is one of my favotie eposides. :D

so my right thumb got poped out of socket yesterday playing football with bro and ana and its killing me the swelling needs to go down so i can pop it back in been working on it all day today. sigh

Hi Marg! Dry, I have to start getting up early starting Monday too. The girls go back to school on Monday. I talked to my Mom and she has nixed her plans to visit me this summer. She was planning to come here for her 80th birthday so I could take her to the TPC to see Tiger. Oh well, I guess I’ll go to Texas and see her.

Terry, I set aside a very nice 2” boneless ribeye for you. Order up!! Enjoy!

Thanks JFri. Tasty!!!!

Tabby, that sounds very painful!

Thank you, JFri. Awesome!

carmy only when i use it.

(((((((Tabby))))))) did you “ice” your thumb?

And to think we spent 3 hours in the ER for a dislocated pinkie finger! Of course, if you could have seen the pinkie finger,…..

Tabby, ice your thumb and take Advil or Ibuprofen to reduce the swelling!!! Have some right here in the kitchen!!

Carmy thanks, does standing out in 30 degrees weather with numb hands count as putting ice on it? I had to do fireworks with Ana and it was cold so it got some ice but other then that nope. will do so tomorrow and take alieve to help the swelling the pull it into place

I’m getting tired so I’ll finish my toons after church in the morrow.

Good Night All

Peace & Love to all my friends!

The Three Amigos? Oh that’s trouble, let’s see Steve Martin, and ???? Steve Martin is enough to set up a red light! LOL!

Tabby, I hope your ankles feel better soon. I know they take a long time to heal because there is too much pressure on them from all that you do.

Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short.

Night, Carmy!!!

Good Morning Doc!

Congratulations my friend!!!

Please give my best wishes to mother, Wildcheetah and all concerned!!

Man, you can tell I just woke up!!

Very cool article Doc!!

Doc, did you seee the poem from yesterday that I left. It is from Wolfangil and I.

Doc, this is Wolfangil. You are welcome and also you are a very nice person. Terry & I wish you all the best!

Alright, that’s enough! Move over gorgeous! Back at my laptop! LOL

Wolfangil prides herself in having my back(side) in those circumstances. LOL

Wolfangil uses the virtual protection thing in the same manner. She considers her virtual “protection” amusing to say the least. In real life I don’t think she would even bother to discuss it!

I need to start getting ready for my pool escapades today. I’ll be on for a little while before I leave though.

Good Morning All!

Good Morning all. I hate it when I get a gopher in my couch, but I love it when I get my lady on the couch. ;-)

That’s pretty cool Doc. The baby is just born and already has made the papers.

Good morning all! 107, not bad at all!

Doc have you found out what the bennies are for a first of the year baby?

Pete is REALLY MAD! (Of course, I don’t blame him!)

Morning all. I see the yappy nuts are back in full force. It took me so long just to read yesterdays comments and catch up to today. I haven’t even started to read any comics yet.

Doc congratulations to you and Wildcheetah. I saw the picture you posted. She is so adorable.

let it be know i hate mornings. sigh bbl

Good Morning Tabby, Dry & Serena.

Well, DocT, you DID do something, actually. You stayed out of the way!!! SNERK!! Seriously, though, it sounds like tending to daughter #2 was a big help!!

Doc nice article!

Ah yes, I thought so, Doc! I remember you telling me that!

Hey JFri!

Hi Doc, great artical congrats to all again

hello Dry

hi Jfri

Cleo? i think your here i dont remember, HI anyways

whoever i missed coming in HELLO out there

If you wouldnt be so far away. yes, i would babysit you. :D

tabby babysit Doc? Yes, I guess he does need a sitter! SNERK!

Dry how else will we keep him out of trouble and him from being a dad again. SNERK

Night doc sleep well

Wanna bet, Doc? Me and Carmy have our ways!

THIS is so ME

If I venture outside today, which I must at some point, I’ll be dressed like that! The wind is blowing and it feels like -2 degrees! And the sun is out even!

Time for my rant:

Have I mentioned lately, that I HATE WINTER!

dry so do i. and i thought of you when i saw it, but i am always cold i hate it. i went to the store and gas station had on my hoodie and was freezing. i hate the cold.

okay im going find food. need food hungry hungry hungry bbl peace and love all

You should be here, girl! You want cold, I’ll give you cold! LOL! I imagine your cold would feel like summer to me about now!

Oww! Tabby, now my thumb hurts! Take better care of yourself, young woman!

Congrats, anew, DocT; I was wondering if your g-daughter was a “first baby”…

@Dry, we’ve currently got -1ºF, plus a stiff wind (about 20 mph), so the wind chill is about -20ºF (-30C). Does that count as cold??

Oh, and we’ve also got a dusting of fresh snow, to make nice ground-drifting, sno- (ahem) frost-fog, and pillow drifts…

Oh, and Dry, thanks. I like being on with all of you folk too. Makes my day…

Dry im sure it would seem warm to you today. I just dont feel to good and when that happens it seems colder to me. pluse the wind is kicking. we will be in the low 20’s next week how fun. :0( and you know what, NO flipen snow. sigh

Bmonk its feeling a little better today. i got it to pop so its moving better, but theres one thing i can say i was getting pretty good at being left handed. :0)

@Tabby, we got plenty of snow. Not so many hills around here, but the little kids are doing fine just sledding down the snow piles. Some are 6 feet or more.

Bmonk wow! i want some snow!

Dry is this that song about pictures?

bbl cleanning kitchen

Hi bmonk I had to go outside for a bit so I put my long johns on, and I’m keeping them on!

yeah Tabby that is the song. They have a version for sons too! Lovely song, but it always makes me SOOO SAD!

@Dry, I can’t blame you. Maybe even cleo wouldn’t blame you in this weather…

I keep forgetting to post the short form of the Twelve Days of Christmas, in proper notation, here.

bmonk i have a feeling Cleo runs around nekkers, no matter how COLD it gets! Do you Cleo?

@Dry, I was afraid of that too…

bmonk now that’s FUNNY! THE 12 DAYS I mean!

I liked it.

But then, I am a nerd…

I even have a card to prove it, like a good nerd.

good late afternoon Tribe i am, once again, playing catch up on line. belated “Happy New Year” wishes to all of you, and “Congrats” to DocT’s family on their new addition. i’ll do the karma deposit, too, so i don’t forget later.

hi Dry, bmonk, & Tabby i liked the “12 days” cartoon, too, bmonk - being a bit of a math nerd myself (in my case, it’s a trophy i won).

time to tour, i’ve got 3 or 4 days to read up. LOL

Oh, I have a couple of trophies too…

(Not to mention some slide rules.)

(So I won’t mention them.)

(Except in parentheses.)

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s Day and that the year to come is just as great.

BMonk I enjoyed the 12 days as well - guess you can count me in as a nerd, although no trophies to show for it ;>(

Hi Dry, Tabby and YGuy. Hope you’ve warmed up a little, Dry. It is -10 C (that’s +7 F) here today - pretty d….d cold if you ask me! I want to go home!!! (not really I’m enjoying visiting the kids and my dad.)

Well, as usual, I come online and everyone goes on the ‘toon tour. Hope your thumb stays better, Tabby! Cy’all l8tr!

Hi yyyguy and Dawn Bye yyyguy and Dawn

hi and bye Dawn and hello FHIG

Hello TRIBE Though it looks like no one will be here.

Busy day, lotsa errands to run. Used my JC Penny giftcards from Mom to purchase some badly needed replacement cookware. I went to the craft store and picked up my snowflakes (all my snowflakes, sniffle) and dropped off some fringe earrings to match the blue/red netted necklace, some eyeglass holders (the long ropes that attach, only mine are with beads), some star earrings and some people necklaces (simple bead necklace with 7-9 ‘people’ made out of various beads and bits. Hopefully with tax refund time coming I might get a couple of sales.

Meanwhile, I’m cooking some supper, just a hamslice and potato’s, and waiting for the concluding segment of Dr Who ‘The end of Time’. It’s where he changes. It’s cold here, low 40’s was the high and we’re going down to the 20’s tonight. And I got to go to church at 8am tomorrow, burrr.

I’ll be popping in as I take my toon tour. Have fun!!!

hi Quaby hope things improve for you and your family this year. all the best.

HI Yguy and Quaby

Dry i was almost sure it was the song.

so i have the kitchen cabinets reorginized and fridge cleaned out and washed up, floor swept and mopped and it only took me 3 hours to do so. :0( but its clean floors are drying now. supper will be cooking after they are dry. ready for bed now. and if my brother comes home and messes it all up i think i will have to hurt him.

hi Tabby and i’ve spent much of my afternoon online. *sigh.

yguy at least your taking it easy.

i have an excuse. an attack of gout has made walking quite difficult the last few days. too much good Christmas eating and overindulging. i’ll be doing the laundry later, though.

lol last loud is in the dryer i forgot about that thanks.

i seem to have cut my arm somehow. its fine

hi Shika (on Birdbrains)! Tabby don’t bleed on the laundry!

its not bad, just a little blood.

Shika’s around????

saw a post on Bird Brains from about a half hour ago.

i just saw that also, i miss my shika. sniff

7:00 pm. time for my hockey game to begin. bye for now, Tabby and to all others.

Did I hear my name? Clearly long johns are perfect for toasty nights when you just can’t get warm.

Dawn the last couple of days have been pretty warm. You are missing out on a heat wave (relative).

by yguy hello Cleo

Mashed tators and grilled Chicken with a veggie that i dont know yet, for supper. what do you all think? easy enough for a bum thumb and a tired chick?

bbs food, i need food again.

Tabby you have me worried girl, to many owies to often. Slow down before you do some real damage. We like you to much to see you constantly hurting yourself.

back and i come berring buttered toast. :D

cleo i was going slow i was/am just tired and clumbsy. nothing new.

doc good morning trust you slept well? alarms are evil

ROFLACMBO

DONT WANT TO COOK!

sigh ill bbl supper needs finishing touches and i need sleep but food comes first.

I was doing the toon tour when my mom called. An hour later, I was able to have my dinner. Roast pork, rice, cauliflower and broccoli. So yyyguy is right, I was around.

I slept in til 10am and then when ut to meet someone for tea a scones, shopped for some things, came home and here I am.

Where’s the photo of Doc grandchild? I saw somewhere that he posted one, but I don’t know where.

I saw everyone talking about their stuffed animals. I have a basket of friends in the living room on my rocking chair. If I find it, I’ll post a photo of them having a party.

There’s Simba, Saffire, Sadie, Chopin, Joshua and Zachariah.

Hi Doc!

Bye Doc! Enjoy the little one!

TABBY ROCKS! GREAT POST AT BIRDBRAINS, KIDDO!

bmonk I liked the 12 days of Christmas, but I failed math so I had to do it long method.

Maybe I’m not a nerd. Just weird.
