Good Night SnowDawn

Good to see you! KInda quick though! ;-)

LONEWOLF Sounds great! I’m going on a diet the first of the year

Morning Tribe. Smile at the boss for me.

Lewreader–Eat all you want until then!

Good Night ALL

Good Morning Carmy–Where are you at?

Good morning and Happy Tuesday. lonewolf thanks for breakfast. Not that many posts this morning - must have been a quiet night yesterday.

I don’t think that Tiffany’s would be a good investment but I understand the concept of magic fingers… A new day dawns and I’m alive so all’s well with the world. Hope everyone is well. Positive thoughts & energy coming through the air.

Good Morning Akenta, Mopar, Doc, Cleo & Dcguys

Good Morning Joy—I missed you yesterday when you were on.

Good morning, All!

Bmonk-

Left something for you on Free Range. Enjoy!

Morning All!

Good Morning Terry, MerryMarg, Rakkav, JFried, Dawn, Lewreader, Akenta, dcguys, celecca, Doc and Digitoad! I’ll try to BBL.

Looks like a storm brewing over in BirdBrains this morning - I’m afraid it rubbed me the wrong way and I had to say something - You guys think I’m over the top on my comments there?

Not again! Guess I have to see what’s up over there! Oh Good morning all!

DigiToad, your comments were perfect! Good Morning Dry!

Good Morning all. The snow is disappearing rapidly, with temps climbing upward. :-)

I have been told that I have magic hands as well, but I don’t make any money at it, just contented sighs.

Terry I shall have blueberry pancakes, bacon, coffee and the spiked cocomocha. Thanks.

Is this the advertised “Massage with a happy ending?”

Cleo I second the :-) we’re supposed to go from -34C yesterday to +3C later this week.

DigiT, wow that must be a relief. We went from the 20s to the upper 30s. By the way, good comments at BB, all on the mark. I also added a short comment.

Good morning tribe. Have to go to BB to see what’s up.

Just exactly WHERE did you say that Magic Hands Massage is located???

Why, that would be on the Magic Arms, of course!

DAAAAAHHHHHHHH STRIP!

Hi Risitas!

Good morning all!!!

I see that Carmy made an apperiance Praise God i was getting worried about you girly. love you

hows the tribe doing this morning? so we have comotion at bb again? going see in a min

Good morning all, If I ever were to be broke, (again) it would be because I always get too much food.

Good morning my two adopted Kids!

morning Tribe. seems i just get caught up and then i fall behind again. oh well, belated “Happy Birthday” to josh - since i missed Sunday. hope everyone is well. karma deposit for those in need before i start touring.

(((Tribe)))

Good morning Bro… lol sound like me.

Good morning Tribe mom and Tribe Dad

for my own safety i was not suggesting you two are a pare but that you two are both parents to me here in the tribe.

Dear Tribe,

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

I finally had my first cup of nuclear coffee - I had to after reading Shalamar’s epistle to self-righteousness. I wonder if she/he is reading this? Hmmm…

Anyway, thank you all for being so positive and upbeat and for supporting BB the way you do.

When I have more time, I’d love to join you all for breakfast. Just thought I’d drop in to let you know I noticed and appreciate all your comments.

THE TRIBE IS THE BEST!!

Thom Thom

on my own behalf (since i dare not speak for all), you’re welcome. clearly i missed something in the comments over the weekend by not visiting, but i’ve added my 2 cents to the discussion over on BB.

Thom Thom thanks for stopping bye. how was that coffee? i dont touch the stuff. :0)

Hi Thom Thank you kind sir!

Drive by Joy sighting at BB!

Dry maybe were next on the list. as long as she is not shooting. :D

Wow my comic tour took an hour today! What have you guys done to me!?!?!

Jdoc HAHA they have got you now!!

Exactly Doc, and that would be ideal! I don’t have that much time to devote to this, at least not until I’m done with school.

lack of time is why i’m chronically behind, too!

Joy To the world Thank goodness. i was worried. lol :D as long as you got all the trolls before you fan out of Ammo. love ya

working with pics is harder then i thought it would be. need help. ugh

Hi yyyguy and Joy!

Hello all. Good to see Thom here although he may regret the nuclear coffee. Nice to see you hear again as well JOY we miss your snappy comments.

okay i think i got it wish me luck we are about to see

Joy, it wasn’t a shut out, and that was one of the sloppiest games I’ve seen Arizona play in a while.

good to hear from you, Joy and good luck with the treatment. DocT i don’t think the innocent look fits any of us, really. (but it’s more fun that way.) any how, time for RL, so i’ll take my leave. back as soon as i can find time. (only need to do chores, work for a living, get the car serviced, shop for Christmas presents, etc.) hopefully it won’t be another four days! (((Tribe)))

walmart is picky! ugh~!!! pics cant be bigger then 5000 X 5000 when you email them well i have taken off one pic im not taking off another. no way.

Do we have a JOY-rider in our midst?

Hi JOY! Saw you at BB. No time to read anything else. I’m studying for two exams, so

♪♫♪”Zippity-do-dah, zippity-EH! ♪♫My oh my,

Have a wonderful day!”♫♪♪♫♫♪

…TRIBE!

Risistas is back! Halleluiah! :-D

Hey! I am not a ‘Trouble Maker’ - I consider my self more of a ‘Trouble Distributor’, making sure it gets evenly spread around…

hi shika bye shika

now that song is stuck in my head.

hope this works cross your fingers people its gonna be a bumpy ride

printing now… be afraid be very afraid.

HA HA !!!!!! it worked it worked it worked!!!!!

now to get it to walmart and get it copied and printed out again ill be doing good i tell you good good good better yet ill be doing great!!!

okay got about an hour b4 i need to leave so i need to get moving. move the car so the kid dosent walk in mud and get it in the car, take a shower fix my hair. get her all ready to go get computer charged for plan b for her. and get bro to do what he needs to do and ready to go then out the door. hehe.

oh and i have learned something today DOC wanna know what? ill tell you anyways

i learned that with kids, no matter how amazingly well thought out your first idea may be and how smart YOU think it is you must always have a plan B and a plan C and with some kids a plan D and you have to prepare yourself for plan A to fail terribley no matter how good it seems. so i have my bases covered. hehe.

Joy No fair! I missed you ! You’re too fast at this hit and run stuff!

There she goes again!

Doc, YOU’RE STILL UP? WOW!

I finally got my comic rounds done for the day. Dry - I love your avatar!

Time to go home, sigh, it’s almost dark out!

Thanks Rmom!

I hate not being able to see anyone’s avatars at work…. :(

I see someone drove by yestre nicht and asked what concert I attended–it was a local High School Christmas concert. Very nicely done, although I was just one row ahead of a family with three small kids (age about 1-6 years) so there was quite a continual fuss and commotion back there.

home!!!

Looks like it’s just you and me, kid!

Why? “Because we’re here, girl, and nobody else, just us!”

Quiz time, what movie did I just paraphrase the above second sentence quote from?

Dry realy mom?? do you relize that i dont watch tv right? i dont seem to have time. i cant recall the last time i sat down and watched tv. well i think it was durring my thanksgiving break..

brb

back.

Tabby that is an old movie, hint,it was the breakout role for Actor Sir Michael Caine.

Cleo, you should know the answer, AND DON’T YOU DARE GOOGLE IT!

Hello all. A thought just came to mind. Amongst all these Yappy nuts, I am the only one that is shelled.

Is it Alfie?

I give.

my brain does not work i have a 3 year old almost all the time. who is sitting on the John and im not going see about her bc she is being mean. yes very mature of me but so what. she will be fine

cleo NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!**

How about Hurry Sundown?

Dry about to send you something. :0)

CLEO, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Dry i know the answer!!!! pick me pick me waves hand in air crazy

is it the Warriors?

Do not know.

http://www.filmreference.com/Actors-and-Actresses-Bo-Ca/Caine-Michael.html

is it one of these listed here?

TABBY, NOOOOOOOOOOO!

I know the answer!

CLEO, I am REALLY SURPRISED you didn’t know the answer. Tabby not so, the film was from 1964, color, Tabby, yes they had color then! LOL!

”ZULU”, CLEO

tabby

I didnt say anything about color… huh?

Gee tabby, if you had the right answer, sorry I spilled the beans!

Tabby, 1964 to most of your generation is ancient and antiquated! LOL! I was just saying that in 1964, there was technicolor, every thing was not all made in black and white. LOL! GOOD LORD! I have really dated myself here! Hey, I was JUST A KID! HONEST! Well, I WAS!

hey i have to run. bbl my dad need me to meet him with some stuff for work fun fun fun ill be safe.

Dry Gone with the Wind was in Technicolour- 1939. Even I wasn’t born then.

1964- we were both kids, lol!

I stopped at BB again and added to the confusion. Gee.All this hullaballoo about a comic strip. We’re just having fun, for Pete’s sake.

Back to the books.

BBL

Don’t worry MoPar. Everyone has those days.

Shalimar seems to have something against Thom’s type of humour. Thom was being funny with him, not “twisting” Shalimar’s words.

Thom joked about me too. I zinged right back. So what? Lighten up Shalimar, enjoy life.

MoPAr fun fight? Someone needs reigned in, and it ain’t us!

I may have to call in Orkin and Ehrlich, yet again, and maybe even Rothchild’s Sewage and Septic Sucking Services before all is said and done!

MoPar NO thanks! I don’t want to get sick! Christmas is coming up you know!

Doc, VERY GOOD POINT! But this is someone we know, think about it!

(((((((((((MoPar)))))))))))))

Don’t let a disembodied diatribe spoil your day. You are angry because you have had so much to deal with and then you go on a comic site to unwind and someone pushes your buttons, and everyone elses buttons (that’s quite a feat when you think of it!)

Just ignore the Trolls.

zipping along here…

ZOOOM!

Evening all!

Made another stop by BridBrains and felt I needed to say a little bit more. I normally try not to bicker, my personal motto is the pun is mightier than the swore. The more I read, the more I have to agree with the Doc’s assessment.

Anyhow, how’s everyone doing this fine evening? The weather coming home was quite nice. Funny how good -15c feels after putting up with -30c

Good job, DMistletoad!

Heya Doc! Good poiint - I think I’ve let off enough steam to last me for a good long while. Let’s just go back to having pun and maiking funs.

I also agree with you Shika, It’s been a bit stressful the last couple of days, I need to mellow out more.

’TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY, FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!

* I ALWAYS HATED THAT D A M N CHRISTMAS CAROL! LOL*

doc, How could you miss me? A big white polar bear in a red santa hat? Been to the eye doctor lately?

Dry - are you sure that hat isn’t a sign of bear-polar disorder?

Cya Doc -stay safe and warm

okay we made it there and home safe. are we proud of me. and i even had Ana in the back seat yelling turn up the music and Cyd lover in the front talking about his head about to blow up and making me laugh so hard i was almost in tears. see we get along some times. i even let him drive around the block a bit. scared the life out of me but we are okay. he drove At night in a stupid car whos breaks hardly work so he did good till he almost hit Walking buddy’s beautiful truck… she may have killed him and i would have also. lol but im home now. i see i misseed shika, doc, and maybe more. so by doc have fun at work. hi shika bye shika.

hows it going Dry, Dig, and Mopar?

lol, bear polar! Good stuff.

so a friend of mine was supposed to come over tonight… i think i may have to go over and get her butt to get her here. ugh what do i do Dry?

Alright johnny, you’re not that old that I can’t smack your butt, boy! I am not bear polar! I am POLAR BEAR! :-) RESPECT YOUR ELDERS SIR! (And dang it, I went back to fourth! Where is that danged AKENTA ANYWAY?)

Tabby, drag her butt over, girl! What ‘cha waiting for? :-)

Dry thank you those words to come out of your mouth. i love you. going now.

((((((((((((DRY))))))))))))))

A Gift to the Tribe - posters and defenders extraordinaire!

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLgBCcAnBbE)

Good evening Tribe. I see we are all worn out from the BB fighting. I’m glad Thom came on to protect the site and tribe from anymore diatribes. It’s his site after all.

Good Evening Mopar

What’s up Bro?

Hello Celecca

Hey Lonewolf

Feeling better MoPar?

Thanks for your input Digital Mistletoad. You really TOAD Shalamar.

So let’s call it a truce and remember that this is a season of reflection (Advent). this site is for fun amongst friends. Glad to be part of it.

My head feels full from studying, so I’m going to bed to see if I can clear my mind for my last two exams. Then I can relax a little more.

Peace and Love friends. sorry I can’t stick around.

Hey Shikamoo

Yep, Advent. Funny how we forget that sometimes.

Working in the church, I am up to Epiphany preparations already.

Hello Shika

Hi you two. Nice video there. Warner Bros. makes great cartoons.

Which church?

Levity and mild irreverence is always good!

How does one prepare for Epiphany?

How are you Terry?

Levity anyways, lol

Feast of Three Kings special service, changing worship settings and liturgy for the season.

Of couse, to keep me in the present, I still have poinsettia list to write up, design and print for next week.

And the January newlsetter.

Shika–Same O, same O! I go for more tests tomorrow. I can’t see where it’s doing any good now, except for their benefit. Oh well.

Properly observed, Advent should be more like Lent than Christmas. Christmas is way overdone. But I am going to halt my discussion before I break the rules here. Sorry DRy and Doc!

Hey was bmonk here today? I forget. I have to leave now, as mentioned, to sleep. Catch the Tribe tomorrow or Thursday evening.

Back

So you know how you can tell when someone realy dosent want to be here? when you tell who you consider to be your best friend that you really needed a hug yesterday and she dosent even ask why whats wrong or anything. thats telling you something.

but i got my dress picked out for Christmas play. so thats a pluse and I am Ana free till about 1:30 tomorrow

Yeah, i know.

Good rest to you.

Lonewolf - may the tests be helpful.

I know Bmonk was over at Free Range.

shika get some rest, I know you will do fine on your test. Sorry i missed you again.

Hi to all who are still here….. Dry are you around still?

Signing off for the night, sweet dreams all!

Good night, all.

Thanks for interesting reading today.

Digital good night sir.

Good Night DMToad

HeyMoPar Glad to see you before I hit the off button!

Mopar

I saw that you exhaled over at BB today!

Goodnight Shika and DMistletoad!

Yea, Tabbs, I’m still here, for a wee bit yet!

dry cool never mind though my question was answered and i am venting your in the clear. lol love you.

(((((DRY))))))))

Hello Dry & Tabby

hello Terry

Mopar

You were not the only one that went off Bro. Don’t worry about it. Sometimes I really wonder if people understand what they do sometimes.

Sigh! A full bottle of Booker’s.

And certain people can set you off and cause you to react in ways you would otherwise avoid!

Hey Cleo

How are you?

Bye Celccee (sp one day i will get it) sleep well

cleo hello

so i am trying to read bb but my brain is not working with me. lol whats new

Terry & Tabby hello. I left another little note at BB. I am amazed at how little it takes to p.o. people.

cleo you and me both, the amazed part.

i am finished reading and catching up at bb.

Tabby how are you enjoying your vacation?

Cleo well today was okay. i got to see two of my favorite teachers from Highschool. so that made my day. then this evening just kind of went to the dogs. but so what whats new.

I guess that I should have said break. Or is break also a stretch. LOL

Goodnight all!

dry goodnight sleep well

Cleo that is a stretch also you tried thats all that matters

What’s new with you Cleo?

Good (late) evening all!

Okay all i am turning in. I shall see you all sometime tomorrow i need my sleep. peace and love tribe and dont feed the trolls tomuch we dont want hem poping.

later you all

Hi Johnny

Good Night Johnny

Hello Terry & MoPar. It never fails to amaze me how narrow minded people can be, or maybe it is a case of being self- absorbed.

I am not going to bed yet. My endeavor to get back on a normal sleep schedule hasn’t worked. So I’ll be up for a little bit yet. Good night Tabby! MoPar, easy my friend. Life’s too short to get too angry at idiots.

Doing fine Terry

johnnyd - It is almost as if you are channeling my inner feelings.

Sorry Johnny, I thought you were headed to bed.

Not yet. Just shirking some studying while looking at some music from the 60’s. Far and away better than any bleeep put out these days, I think.

So *Terry, you have 3 more pool tournaments left before you are crowned Grand Mater PoolCue?

I’m OK. Really I am. Don’t take me away. Hey, put down that syringe. Why are all those big men here in white coats? Let go of me!! Where are you taking me? Help meeeeeee…………………

MoPar, your head is looking like it is close to

Explosion

Yes Cleo, 3 more matches. If I stay focused I’m good. But that’s not always the case.

Actually cleo, I’m just having fun acting goofy. Isn’t that what this site is all about?

Would like to come voluntarily or be dragged out kicking and screaming? Ooh the kicking and screaming sounds good.

Terry, I missed it amongst many others, but have discovered it.

MoPar, yes indeed that is indeed what this site is about.

MoPar, insane…no, addicted…yes.

Mopar, The addiction for sure!

Mopar–Enjoy the wine.

And enjoy the break, that should be nice.

I am drinking wine as well…no reason, just like wine. :-)

My best wishes and positive thoughts for your wife’s surgery. I am sure that it will proceed without issues.

Good Night Mopar

((((((Mopar & Mrs Mopar)))))))

Good night MoPar, I could have gotten away with a drink or two tonight, but I’ve waited a bit too long into the evening, and I’ve got a little bit of homework to finish up. Might just do it tomorrow, but now I am saving the drink for this weekend to celebrate the (successful) completion of three more exams.
