Good Morning, LuvH8.

Love the new avatar.

Kitty’s breakfast is ready.

Grog, thank you for Kitty’s platter.

Good Morning and Thank You.

I didn’t expect you to still be up. Maybe you should try some beer&milk like Kitty does?

Round 2 will begin shortly, LuvH8. Hopefully, round 2 will last longer.

Where’s our Little Sister tonight?

Good Luck!

I expect ♠Lonewolf♠ had no problem getting to sleep.

I don’t know, I haven’t been keeping up as much as I could. Hopefully, she is enjoying the evening with her boyfriend.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it’s off to bed I go

Help yourself to breakfast, LuvH8. Good Night!

Good Night Grog

 Good Morning Everyone!

Good Morning, Tribeandall

Nice menu, Grog!

I’ll just grab coffee for now and have breakfast later.

Good Morning, Grog, LuvH8, Kitty & JFri

Good Morning, ♠Lonewolf♠ & Doctor Toon.

LuvH8, You’ll likely like to add Daddy’s Home to your Reaper collection.

Good Morning, Everyone,

I did sleep in!!! This is our last day to visit with the San Diego kids :))))), and then we’ll be on our way home tomorrow. :(((

However, it’ll be good to be back home. Target is home by Wed. p.m. if the weather cooperates!

Have a safe trip back, Montana Lady.

I don’t think you were the only one to sleep in today. So far it’s a very quiet morning.

Good Morning once again, Tribe!

Fell asleep early, woke up in the middle of the night, fell back asleep and was up early again doing the video game thing with James and his new games he got for his birthday. :^)

Good Morning, Grog, Doc & Montana Lady.

Good Morning Tribe

Hope everything is going well. I’m trying to round up me scurvy crew to prepare for the mission this week. Spam has not been as prevalent, but cruising around may help keep it at bay. If you see any of the lads and/or lassies send them to the Big Top Tent. We’re polishing off breakfast, preparing ribeyes for lunch along with assorted veggies and ‘taters.

Good Morning, ♠Lonewolf♠ & Quaby

Good Morning, Quaby. Sounds good. I’m headed your way, sir!

Grog - - - Today I have the Jaguars/Giants and Packers/Falcons early and of course DA BEARS/Eagles late.

♠Lonewolf♠, the Titans/Texans is the only game in town here early (because the Texans are at home) and the Eagles/Bears game is the only late game because of it’s Fox double header week.

The Packers/Falcons is the only game I’m going to watch early and I’ll rabbit ear the Bears game later while the Dolphins/Raiders will be my main course.

I’ve got the dip already prepared and the chips & Pepsi are standing by.

I’ll just have my last piece of cheese cake during the early game. I’m planning on a big dose of left-overs tonight.

Wolfangil made a second turkey since we didn’t have any leftovers. So we’ll be devouring that in the next few days.

None at all? I’ve never heard of that happening. You guys must have been hungry to give the carcas to the mice on the very first day. Anxious to see the parade I guess.

POP Grog!

Toon comment: Oopsies!

Good Sunday morning TRIBEANDALL

BFF is coming along well. She’s home and working her butt off to get back on her feet without a walker. She got in and out of the car yesterday without assistance from me…. I’m so proud of her. Couple of set backs but all in all a good week. May get a quick toontour in while she naps. Thanks for the karma. It worked again!! Will update when I can during the week. Someone has to go back to work dammit.

P&L - STAY SAFE - Play nice.

Runs with Beer!!!

Glad to see everything is going so well.

I’m off to football viewing position. BBL.

Hi, Runs With Beer!!! So good to see you sir. Happy to hear all coming along well.

Grog, the first turkey went through two families and then what leftovers there were went home with our one daughter. Hence, the carcass is all that was left here. :^)

The noon hour greeting to all…Good to see you again RunswB and glad your caregiving is helping with good results. Hi Lonewolf and Grog. Back later.

Grog A good menu and I have helped myself to some hot Tur-Duc-Hen with some cornbread…not too much because I haven’t had it before but it smells really good!

Enjoy football or basketball everyone.

Good afternoon, HopeandJoy.

More surprising scores today again, Grog.

Hi everyone. I just got home a moment ago.

Good afternoon, Li’l Sister.

Watching the games right now. :^)

I did it. I have found a place that’s in my budget to rent, and it is in a nice friendly neighborhood.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Hello TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

Glad to hear your good news Little Sister!

Hi, Sojo. How are you doing?

Congratulations on the news, Li’l Sister

I stayed at my Aunts house last night. That’s why I wasn’t around at turnover.

♠Lonewolf♠ - I’m doing fine! Just got back from Oklahoma. Watched the OU vs. OSU game on a large screen TV with realetives. We were all for OSU and were sorry to see them lose but not too suprised.

Oh goody there is pizza left over so I’ll have some.

Happy for you Little Sister Glad the neighborhood is friendly too as that means so much. Luv was chasing my car last night! (Of course I know she is really friendly and not meanspirited.)

Good to see yyyguy dropping by as well.

Good afternoon Sojo You have been quieter than usual. Hi to all you lurkers, too.

Hello ♠Lonewolf♠, Little Sister and HopeandJoy!

(Giggling!)

Sojo, sorry about OSU losing, but I too was not too surprised by the outcome.

♠Lonewolf♠ - There were a lot of points made at the end by both teams that kept it interesting to the end though!

Foo Ball Right.

Right!

 Foo Ball Sunday!!!

Hello LuvH8!

Looks like it is the Packers and Falcons

(GROAN!) Not a match up I care for. At least it’s almost over.

Hello Big Sister :-)

Does anyone have a movie to recommend?

My college game of the week was the Auburn/Alabama game. Aubrun, down 24-0, came back to win 28-27. The best game of the year.

 Happy Apartment Dance!

That would probably have to depend on your taste (Preferences) HopeandJoy What kind of movies do you like?

Second Hand Lions is a good comedy but I not sure where to watch it. Hulu doesn’t have it.

That’s good news, Little Sister.

Getting ready for an interesting late game schedule.

Hope the Bears win, ♠Lonewolf♠

Thank you Big Sister.

Hello Sojo, Little Sister, HopeandJoy, Grog and Lonewolf

HopeandJoy, what kind of movies do you like?

Good afternoon, LuvH8.

Yes, it’s Foo-Ball Sunday!!!!!!!

Grog - - - At least the Falcons helped the Bears with their win over the Pack! :^)

Why can’t they make a gif. of Snoopy Spiking the football?

Bring on those Eagles!

I’m not a fan of the Falcons. I was hoping the Pack could help out the Saints.

Thank you Grog and everyone. :-)

The Saints are already down a game in head-to-head with Atlanta. They are going to need some help to catch up.

Hello Grog!

Movies without a lot of violence like District 9. (although I liked the storyline of it…just not the yuk)

I am considering the movie “Last Three Days” with Russell Crowe…curious about it….and may go tomorrow.

I like historical, comedies, romance, yes, I enjoyed Second Hand Lions, Sojo Most anything with Michael Caine.

I have enjoyed a couple of the Harry Potter ones too, Secretariat and a lot of the old ones.

HopeandJoy, I think you would like The North Avenue Irregulars, I really liked it.

Hello, Sojourner

♠Lonewolf♠ - That’s one mean cat!

pg 13 is about my speed.

Hey, Sojo, Da Bears need all the help they can get! LOL

What do you think of tonight’s match up, Grog?

Couldn’t find a Bear with a machine gun, ♠Lonewolf♠?

Let’s see, I can watch Eagles And Bears Or Raiders and Dolphins.

I won’t lose sleep over it ,♠Lonewolf♠. I’ll be very interested in seeing next Monday’s Jets/Patriots game

Which game is going to be a bloody massacre?

Something tells me the Bears will lose badly. I hope not, but I have that feeling.

Tonights match up, well……….Go Colts!

Luv I have heard of it and the trailer looks good. Thanks. Also loved the old True Gritand am curious about the remake but not sure if they can duplicate the cat.

The Chiefs scored a touchdown on their opening drive so will keep my Golfman company.

Well, I’m headed back to my football viewing position. I’ll be back after dinner.

You’re right about next week’s match up, Grog.

Scramble in We can see Chiefs/Seahawks and Broncos Rams and Indy is tonight.

Really am pullings for Da Bears even tho we can’t watch.

Scooting back out to LR

How’s this one Grog?

Go, Bears!!!

I don’t know about this new True Grit movie. Why would they want to out do the Duke?

The Foo Ball Fanatics are probably full of suggestions if you ask again when you all aren’t watching foo ball.

For old movies me and the Monkeys like Harvey and Arsenic & Old Lace. Also Clue was surprisingly funny for all of us. Also Because I Said So was a fun romance movie.

I don’t like John Wayne.

Phfft!

Wow, who’s wearing that Cutler jersey for Da Bears???

How are you doing, LuvH8?

I bought Harvey and have enjoyed Arsenic and Old Lace “CHARGE! I think I saw ClueToo but not Because I said so

Thanks for suggestions.

Finally, an interception against Vick! WooHooHoo!!!

Just saw it Big Brother. :-)

Like I said earlier, who is this guy in the Cutler jersey??? LOL

I don’t know Big Brother but the game is good so far.

One more half to go!!! Carve em up, Bears!

Wow, this is just too much. And I have Cutler on my fantasy team. The guy I am playing against this week has Vick. lol Vick’s projected points were 23 and he has 13 so far. Cutler’s projected points was 15 and he has 32 already!

Good Afternoon, Alles!

Especially ♠Lonewolf♠, and maybe Little Sister.

LuvH8 was particularly bipolar this AM: a cutsey skull avatar, a deadly sleek black beauty and a bouncy sun…I hope my head doesn’t explode!

Good afternoon, Bmonk!

Hello bmonk!

Hi, Sojo–and bye–the Vesper bell do calleth.

Bye bmonk.

Hi and Bye bmonk.

Good evening to bmonk (and bye) Hi Little sister, Sojo, and Lonewolf and others Rmom? Quaby? KAB? Kitty?

Well Sojo after a blocked punt which led to a touchdown for Seattle, the Chiefs are looking pretty good and just scored again! 42-24. AND Da Bears are winning too.

Raiders Lose!!

HopeandJoy - Chiefs are looking good this week.

Have a good evening, Bmonk.

Da Bears have done it! WooHoo!

Good to hear!

The Broncos are trying to pull one out!

Can the Broncos do it?

Nope, the Rams held on for that one!

Sorry for any Bronco fans, but it is good for us.

That’s right, It helps the Chiefs in their division.

Broncos groan! :-(

Phooey!

I don’t think McDaniels will be on the Broncos after this season. Especially with the illegal video taping mixed in with the team underachieving this year.

♠Lonewolf♠, I’m really surprised Cutler didn’t spend more time throwing from his backside. I expected the Eagles “D” to dominate, but it didn’t. They made it a little too interesting in the end for my liking though.

Grog, I agree about the ending. In the beginning they were pressuring Cutler, but all of a sudden the pressure stopped. Whether by what the Bears did or what the Eagles didn’t do, I’m not sure. But I’m glad they won and the Pack lost!

Alright. TD, Colts!

Yes! And Tamme is also on my Fantasy team, too.

Stupid Broncos!

”Knockitpaw!”

By the way, I like the Bear. That’s more like it!

Thanks, Grog. LOL

Good Evening, Doc. Have a good night at work!

Good night, Doc

Have a good work night Doctor Toon.

I will not enjoy this game if San Diego is winning.

Hi and Bye Doc.

Well, I’m not going to be seeing this game throught to it’s final conclusion anyway. The way I feel, I could pass out now - but I’ll try to wait until 9.

I’m not very happy either, Grog. Pretty soon it will be a Hogan’s Heroes or M.A.S.H night.

I may live in San Diego, but I am not a Charger fan.

I is Groggy.

Gunite all

Hi, tribe! Good night, Groggy!

Good Night Grog.

Hello Rmom!

Hi, Sojo! Did you have an enjoyable trip?

Good Night, Grog. Catch you on the flip side!

Hi, RMOM!!!

Hi, Wolfie! Sounds like you and James have had a busy weekend.

Rmom - Yes. I went to Oklahoma late Friday afternoon went to church Sunday and returned after that getting here around noon. Got to see a lot of my realitives, play games with them, watch a HD movie and OU vs. OSU football team on a large screen TV, etc. Plus good home cooked meals. It was a good and much needed change of pace!

Sojo - I’m so glad you had a good time. As you say, it was a much needed change of pace! I’m still trying to get caught back up. I’ll need to head to bed pretty soon, but at least hubby doesn’t have to get up nearly as early tomorrow. He’s got to be in Wichita at 8am, which is much better than being in SE KS by 6am.

Sojo - I’ve got lots of leftover ham, do you want some? It is really good, I got it from Stroot’s. We cooked it in the crock pot (which it wasn’t an easy fit) all night and half the next day. Then it was so tender that it fell off the bone. I detest rubbery ham, especially with a sweet glaze. Yucky-poo!

Yes we did, Rmom. Lot’s of fun!

Rmom - That’s good. I remember when I had my sales route. Every other week I had to set up at a store in Liberal and be ready by 9:00 a.m. I had to get up at 4;30 and leave by 5:00.

Wolfie - I enjoy playing pool too. I just wish it was convenient enough for me to play often enough to get better at it. I used to play it a lot, but since I’m lucky if I get to play a few games once a year, I’m horrible at it now.

Rmom - That would be nice but I wouldn’t want to inconvience anyone.

Sojo - Liberal is quite a long & boring drive! I’ll save some ham for you then.

@Rmom, I’d take a ham sandwich, or even just a slice or two. I love a good ham. Every year or so, we get ham from Wimmer’s in West Point, NE–yum!

Getting to church wasn’t so bad this weekend–it was all the extras–putting out slips with a new prayer the bishop wants us to use, making sure it got on the petition sheet, bringing supplies, putting out new books for the new (liturgical) year, etc. etc. And that after losing a day or two for Thanksgiving. Sometimes I wonder if they pay me enough. Then I remember: of course not!

@Rmom & Sojo–around here, there is a boring stretch of road–and several others have agreed with me–and it’s only a little over 30 miles. But it’s the worst drive for boredom, even though the views should be good. I have yet to put my finger on why it’s so bad.

Pool is my main hobby, Rmom. And it keeps me out of trouble, too! LOL

Rmom - That was a long communt to work! One week was southwest the next week was northwest Kanses. Liberal was the longest start of the week for me.

bmonk - This ham isn’t sliced, since it fell off the bone. I’ve got it in chunks. Since my dad raised hogs, I prefer the meat that goes through as few hands as possible.

Well, I’ve got to head to bed now, Good night!

Trouble, oh we got trouble, Right here in River City! With a capital “T” That rhymes with “P” And that stands for Pool, That stands for pool. We’ve surely got trouble! Right here in River City, Right here! Gotta figger out a way To keep the young ones moral after school! Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble…

Chunks of ham are good too!

:^)

One morning to Liberal a compact car with 4 women in it passed me at a high rate of speed. 55 mph was the limit then. Sure enough a little later I passed them while a Highway Patrolman had them pulled over. Shortly after that they went flying past me agaiin. Once again I passed them while they were stopped by another patrolman. You might guess what happened at this point. They went flying passed me again and I soon passed them as they were pulled over a third time! It gave the truckers something to talk about on the CB radio.

Pop!

@Sojo–LOL, great story!

I did repass a car once within five miles that roared past me–while they were getting their ticket.

Good Night, Rmom. Rest well.

Hi, LuvH8

Hi, LuvH8! Goodnight, Rmom!

Good Night Rmom

Good Evening Bmonk, Lonewolf, Sojo and Little Sister

Someone has been watching Pete’s Dragon?

Hello LuvH8!

Good Night Rmom.

I’m off, too now!

Sweet Dreams, all!

Good Night bmonk.

Good Night, Bmonk

Pooh! I was hoping that Indy would win over San Diego. ‘twas not to be. (sigh)

Fun story, Sojo Incredible lack of common sense.

g’nite to all. I will sleep and dream of Rmom’sham being ready to eat tomorrow and hone up on my pool-playing skills. (Giggle)

Year A begins at church next Sunday, I think.

I was hoping for that too HopeandJoy.

Good Night HopeandJoy.

One more for Indy. Manning had a terrible game tonight! Oh well….

Good Night, HopeandJoy

AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!!!!!

“Left-overs! Someone please kill me………Kill me now!”

Little Sister - Try to look at the bright side. Some flavors incress and blend with time, little prepartion time and work. It may make fresh meals seam better! :-)

Maybe! But still…………..

Unfortionately this isn’t a perfect world. :-( You have to do the best with what you have!

Now I know how Calvin feels.

LOL

Besides, you found a place to rent!

Who’s got b-fast at turnover this evening?

I’ll do something .

Thank you, Sojo. :^)

My hero!
