Good Morning, Montana Lady

Lewreader, you’ve managed to stir up some long-forgotten not-so-fond memories of my very first (and last) Big Mac some 35-40 years ago in the small burb Pierrefonds of home-town Montreal. I recall my sister and I hounding our mother to take us to that newly-arrived spectacle to “La Belle Province” with their English-only signs and the golden arches only to be reminded that there was food that was actually worse than Mom’s cooking.

Perhaps I ate the styrofoam or maybe I ate both. But chances are I made the mistake of actually eating just the burger. Talk about an episode of As the Stomach Turns! Surely it was nothing short of nausiating - and I am not known for having a weak stomach.

I should have gone with the Pt. St. Charles tube steaks at the local choke & puke.

All the rest are “games”.

F1: European Rednecks driving around in squiggly circles until they get so fatigued that they start crashing into each other; all the while consuming vast amounts of fuel and creating a literal wasteland of carbon waste in the process.

NASCAR’s easier to follow when you’re hammered.

Toon: “Circles”? Is Wink thinkin’ “multi-leveled marketing”?

GROG Thanks for ruining my breakfast. You will be happy to know because of the protests of us Deadheads proudly displaying our “McToxic” bumper stickers on our psychedelic buses breaking down following the band, McDonald’s agreed to end the Styrofoam on the Big Macs. They recalled millions of foam wrappers and burned them. Didn’t their Scoutmasters tell them never to burn Styrofoam?

Otherwise, have a groovy day.

A riot, as always, Lewreader..

Have a great day and don’t let it be a Burger Barf day, either!

Ah…. been a while

Good morning, Plods. I don’t know how I could have missed you there.

This saves me a lot of time from past post to current posts.

For us here we stopped going to fast food. Far too much fat. Long John Silvers#1 KFC #2 of places I will never go to.

For fire danger 5 states involved including KS, CO, TX, Mexico, and CO. A lot of acreage of dead foliage burning or burned away. Very series problem.

What a lite comments or posts here. Time to move on

Good morning, Kab.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll grab a strawberry poptart and som KFC.

Morning All!

Good Morning Digital Frog!

Good morning, Sojo & Digital Frog

Given this morning’s greasy comments, Sojo, I find the KFC order a bit of a surprise. Enjoy!

For Big Sister I did use what you said about apartment renting on my essay. I wanted to thank you.

Another morning arrives..this one a bit grey but Grog, Kab, Dig Frog, Sojo, Plods, Lady, Lew and others will brighten it up

SRmom We did get about 10 minutes of strong wind and rain…very flat line looking….and then continued rain and roll some thunder and sheet lightning for a couple of hours.

Good Morning Grog, ♥Kab♥ and HopeandJoy♫!

Grog - The only reason is it’s virtual.

HopeandJoy♫ - Hardly any rain but very windy all night and still some this morning.

Good luck with the essay, Kab. You probably don’t need it though. I’ve seen a big improvement in your ability.

Good morning HopeandJoy

Good morning, Everyone,

I’ll have an egg white and spinach omelet, Grog and LOTS of Doc’s coffee!

Someone else has asked what has happened to Lonewolf…….has anyone heard from him? He’s AWOL.

Glad you all survived that horrible storm yesterday. Our snow from yesterday has all melted already.

Good morning, Montana Lady. Lonewolf made a brief appearance yesterday, and a post on Citizen Dog this morning. Other than that, I haven’t seen him today.

Hi, Grog……I just read yesterday’s posts and found him. Glad all is well. :))))

Good Morning Montana Lady!

Hi and Bye Doctor Toon.

Just finished all e-filing for state tax info. :-)

Good morning, Doctor Toon.

Just popping in - busy day. Hope&Joy - I’m glad you didn’t get anything really bad with the storms last night. We’re still having a lot of wind, even today. But other than wind, we might have gotten a few small hail stones, but nothing that would have caused damage. Our internet was out last evening, I was sure glad to see it was working when I got on this morning.

Good Morning Rmom!

Hi, Sojo! I’m watching a video that my oldest brother sent me a link to. He was a medevac helicopter pilot in ‘Nam.

Good morning, Rmom. We started to get the wind later last night. The storm still looks to be 2 hours away.

hi Tribe. RMom i just watched your video link. sobering, to say the least. i don’t imagine it’s any different today in the middle east.

Hello yyyguy!

Thanks for the link Rmom.

hi Sojo

Wow. That storm front is nearly on us. That didn’t take long!

Good afternoon, yyyguy.

Thanks, yyyguy & Sojo! - It is sobering. My brother came home with a Purple Heart. He was picking up wounded and got shot. Flew himself to the hospital. He’s told us lots of stories, but to see the video from then really adds another dimension.

Stay safe, Grog!

i only knew what we saw on the news, thankfully, i was too young (not to mention not being American) to need to worry about fighting in Vietnam. those vets have been short changed in the respect department for far too long.

hi Grog i see some of the folks talking about thunderstorms and big winds. i left my apartment, yesterday, to see our annual April blizzard had arrived. haven’t looked out the window yet, but i hope it’s all melted away again.

It’s not looking that severe, Rmom.

chores to do, so no more time to visit. see you all soon.

Thanks, good to hear, Grog! See you later, yguy!

Later, yyyguy. thanks for dropping by.

See you later yyyguy.

The temperature sure dropped in a hurry. Almost 20 degrees in less than an hour.

Rmom A calm day here.

My nephew, who is 3 years younger than I was a gunner on a medevac (I guess that is what it was called) helicopter in Nam. He was on that assignment for 1 month and then off a month as he tried to “cover” the guys who were getting the wounded on board. Not much fun.

Hope&Joy - It is still windy here, but mostly sunny. I didn’t realize they had “gunners” on medevac helicopters, but I can understand why one would be needed. I was only in 3rd grade when my brother was in Vietnam, so I didn’t really understand at the time everything that was happening. Well, I’ve got to get ready to leave for school. Bye!

It was a surprise to us to when I saw them on the news when the medics left the helicopter and the machine gun (it looked like a machine gun) operator could be seen.

Hello HopeandJoy♫!

Have a good day Rmom.

Getting Nascar into a circus. That’s easier said than done.

Good luck with getting sponsors.

Hello Steelblade!

Finally website is working!

Hi, Sojo. For a while there I thought it was just me!

Good Evening, Tribeandall!

Hi, friends! I’m in a good mood - only missed two questions on my test tonight, so I got a 96%.

Good Evening ♠Lonewolf♠ - I could get other sites but not this one. Once I got it I checked the master comment list and there were a couple of hours missing.

Congrats Rmom!!!

Thanks, Sojo! Considering this unit was over Excel, which I’ve used a lot in the past, I would have been really disappointed if I’d done poorly on it. We started learning Access tonight. We’re going to barely scrape the surface on that, so I’m not sure what I’ll learn that’s new to me.

Hi, Wolfie! Good to be on at the same time as you. Doesn’t seem to happen much lately.

What master comment list, Sojo?

Hi, RMom!

The one posted here a long time ago by Grog (I think) here.

It came in handy when we were having trouble with spammers. It made it easy to flag them without having to go to each toon.

I never knew about that page.

I don’t remember that page either. Interesting!

It is taking forever to refresh a page, so I’m getting off for the night. Good night!

Good Night Rmom.

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

jUST me and the lurkers….

Yea Smiley Rmom!!

Goodnight from me to you!! Rest well.

Drats I missed everyone. :-(
