I like your menu better than mine.

Should I have gone with Rat Stew, that was my original idea.

Hola! I’ve been away for a few days while my ‘puter was in hospital. But it’s back, and I’m happy. I’ll have the breakfast quiche, please. Ohhhhh, lemon megingue pie? I’ll have that too!, and A large glas of orange juice. Thanks, Little Sister!

Good Evening Little Sister & Saskfan!

Oh! You have Apple Pie! That is my favorite breakfast pie. (Which doesn’t mean I won’t have others for breakfast, I just don’t consider them breakfast pies.)

Good Morning, Ooops! ♥Little Sister♥ & Saskfan

Ooops! that sure is an interesting menu. I think I’ll have something else though….Like jalapeno Kolaches!

And a very great day to all. Warming in the Ozarks.

Good Morning, Tribesters!

Hi, Yukoner, Grog, LuvH8, Li’l Sister & Saskfan

Should I dine at OOOPS GOURMET DELIGHTS or cross the street to* “LITTLE SISTER’S GOOD EATS”*? Decisions, decisions. Either one of you spare a poor man a cup of DOC TOON’S WORLD FAMOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE? Thank you.

Good Morning, Yukoneric, ♠Lonewolf♠ & Lewreader.

And we break out of the overnight freezes finally today and hopefully for the rest of the year.

Good Morning, Sir Lew.

Grog, it’s 21° right now headed to a high of ………….33°! Heat wave! T-shirt weather! Well, at least it’s above freezing for a change.

Headed to work this morning and I have pool league this afternoon. Have a great Saturday everyone!

P&L

Have a good day, ♠Lonewolf♠. I don’t think I want to tell you what our temps will be over the next few days.

Good Morning ♠Lonewolf♠,♥♥ Little Sister♥♥, LuvH8/BBS,Grog,Doctor Toon, Plodswbeer, Doc Toon, MontanaLady, ♪Hopeandjoy♫Serenasakitty,, Rmom,Bmon,Ladyhawk,,lakesnake ,Digital Frog,Lewreader;MisngNOLA,Woodeye, Yukoneric

I guess all has heard about Egypt. Citizens there are extremely happy. I wonder what will happen next to them.

More important though for here snow is melting. We are heading for spring temps.

Good Morning, ♥Kab♥ & Doctor Toon.

Good morning TRIBE. May I add a big pan of soft..gooey..warm..fresh baked cinnamon buns to the breakfast menu? Can’t resist them, especially with ice cream.

Morning Doc. It has finally warmed up a bit to where it is almost livable. Besides, ice cream may make it worse but would I notice? NEED ICE CREAM. A person can’t go wrong with ice cream.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

I heard on the news that ice cream is considered one of the comfort foods. During the snow storm and cold in Oklahoma last week ice cream sales doulbled.

Good Morning Doctor Toon - Have a good snooze.

Good morning everyone. I think I’ll have one of everything from my Big Sisters menu. :-)

I’ll be going to my dad’s house later for a barbecue.

Hello ♥Little Sister♥ - Have a good time later!

So is everyone getting warmed up yet. If not come on over to my house.

It’s mid 40s here now and will get to mid/upper 60s by next week!

It’s warm where I live. So come on over.

Sounds tempting!

Do you want me to post the temperature?

Aaah, Little Sister! That is bragging.

It is 83 °F right now. So come on over.

How often do I get to brag?

Manfred wont let me borrow his weather thingy to help everyone who is cold out. So I blame Dusty.

Hello Ooops!

It won’t be 83° F. for a while here. I’ll have to start mowing the lawn then though. Sounds like a good day for a barbecue there! :-)

It is! :-)

Come on over.

Rain is expected by Wednesday though.

Watching golf at Pebble Beach. Looks nice there also.

If you have any leftovers from the barbecue you might put those on the Big Top buffet table!

I just might :-)

See you all later. Have a great day. :-)

Have a great time Little Sister!

It is gloomy here today, our sun is gone… but it is 54° and not raining yet. I suppose if I were determined I could try to barbecue?

54° and not raining sounds to me like you could try to barbrque. Of course … I don’t know what you would try to fix. Maybe it wouldn’t be a good idea then again.

Heck–it’s in the 40s here, and it’s definitely warm enough for a BBQ. Almost tropical.

Poor Santa–he’d better get going before all the snow disappears.

Oh, and Good afternoon to all, especially Sojo, ♥Little Sister♥ & Oooops!

Ooops! Gotta go! Bye!

Hi and Bye bmonk!

Hello Bmonk Good-Bye Bmonk

Yeah, I do prefer to put weenies on a stick and roast them over a fire. Barbecues seem like more a specialty thing than an every day thing, same with campfires. (Also, we want guys to have it as a manly man cooking thing. It is the only way to get some of them to cook. Shhhh!!!)

Peeky Weeky Good afternoon Ooops, Sojo, bmonk and 83° Little Sister! and all who were here earlier. (forgive my initial silliness as I know this is a serious site.)

Upper 40’s last time I checked. I see we have another Missouri type,Yukon We now have a trio♪♫, Lakesnake Has she been around since the snow??

Good Afternoon HopeandJoy♫!

I know just how Wink feels. Sometimes thoughts get caught and have trouble breaking through.

Alas, That glorious blue-eyed kittyfrom yesterday is not mine. Found it on Photobucket.

It is fun to whittle a stick to a point for the hot dog and get ashes from the campfire on it…such a nice woodsy flavor.

Gone to walk outdoors. May not return

HopeandJoy, for violating the cerealness of this site and this strip in particular, I shoot you with my grape jelly gun.

Hey! No fair ducking!

Enjoy your walk HopeandJoy♫.

What? You can’t go for a walk and never return (shakes head). What about your husband? Won’t you miss him? Or at least your nice comfortable bed? Your refrigerator? Bathroom?

Is it the grape jelly? I could switch to raspberry? Raspberry would be okay………. But then when I blew raspberries, I would probably feel compelled to fill my mouth with raspberry jam before blowing. It would actually have to be a Raspberry Jam Squirt Gun (and I like mine with seeds).

I’m sure you’ll think of something Ooops!

Good evening everyone what a nice day.

Hey Big Sister instead of grape jelly as temps warm up more you gonna change to say chocolate?

Worked on English today. My difficult descriptive sentence of 12 lines is done very difficult.

Hello ♥Kab♥!

Hello The Sojourner very nice temps out. Looks like more spring next week. I have heard for public schools kids where suppose to be off 18th but will be going because of school clossing.

I guess missed on others again. I guess I need to think of short summer class. two months.

Hello Kab Sister!

Actually, as temperatures warm up I was planning on using Chocolate Syrup Filled & Chocolate Coated Ice Cream Cannon Balls.

That sounds good! We can use all different flavors of ice creams too, very few flavors of ice creams don’t go well with chocolate.

Hello Big Sister oooa add some nuts to that what a great treat.

How many days did your kids miss of school? I’m not sure how many you have. Mine are adults. I’m not really sure here how many days kids here missed since public school has built in days.

I heard about the chocolate syrup Yea!!

Back from walk and making snowy bearlike creatures with perky ears and smiling faces with bright gum tree seed eyes. Lots of fun!!

Kab Our schools were out a total of 5 days during the 2 weeks of storms.

I don’t know! I only have one biological daughter 17, she lives with her father and his wife. Her older sister is Monkey 1 and lives in Washington all grown up at 20.

Then there are a few that just feel like mine when they are around….. they also call me ‘Mom’ in that ‘I want something’ tone of voice.

Ooops don’t take this wrong. I had a grandma when she was a live lived by a family with children and they called her grandma. I told her I didn’t like that and her reply I’m grandma to all children. You may feel mom to neighborhood kids. I think we here missed more then 5 days of school here. Oh Big Sister add some nuts to that chocolate icecream and what a treat.

My two are grownup too son 28 and daughter 25. Both at home no jobs. I am currently working on a fatening light meal for dinner. I plan on using watered tuna. I might have enough to share with all.)

♪Hopeandjoy♫ I am so looking forward to warmer weather. I know mowing will be coming. Next week I’m not sure if I will be on BT I will be going to CenturyII for women’s show for I guess two days helping my sister. Her hubby took over parents small business of selling a product. When some people here of this product turns them off. They misjuged this product. Has flavor.

Good Evening, Tribeandall

I thought sure I left a note that I was taking a day trip to Galveston. I guess I forgot to actually hit the post button. ——————– Ooops! A raspberry gun does give new meaning to blowing raspberries.

Good Evening Grog!

Good evening, Sojourner!

Hi Grog Hope your trip went well.

I am headed back to the LR to watch basketball with Golferman. I will check in before retiring.

Kab I am very proud of your efforts and what you are accomplishing. It is not an easy thing to do but you are setting such a good example.

I am watching a complete unedited episode of WKRP In Cincinnati online. I will provide a link shortly to those interested. But it’s got all the original music.

That sounds good Grog.

Here it is: The complete list of WKRP espisodes uploaded

I’m now watching The Contest Nobody Could Win I was watching The Americanization of Ivan. Very good!

♪Hopeandjoy♫ your a nice lady though I think you have too much confidence in me. My part time position as a Receptionist/Office Specialist has nothing to do with sales. I will only be helping my sister out next week as women and girls will be pouring in. Last year I took our mom up and didn’t know she wasn’t feeling good. My poor sister was trying to handle alone, her hubby was trying to work on car broke down, and a woman walked off stealing a product of theirs. She needs help. Me I have been struggling with English. Short story I wasn’t taught right as a youngster and some of what I am doing now is consider a brush up and still very strange to me.

The SSNB Erehwon sits majestically at the Big Top dock. There are two crewmen on the deck, one at each end of the vessel, and obviously bored with guard duty

From the conning tower the Captain’s head appears, followed quickly with the entire body. Landing lightly on the deck acknowledgments are passed with the guards. The Captain feels much better today, the last two weeks had been heck at sea with the hacking and nausea.

In the Big Top many of the crew are spotted easily, mostly around the television watching a movie or playing board games with some of the denizens of the tent. Satisfied all was well, the Captain ambled over to the tables to see what scraps were left,

Quaby I wish you could write my paragraphs. I could learn from you, I’m serious.

Good Evening Quaby!

Hi and Bye Doctor Toon - Have a good night!

Good evening Quaby

Kab You don’t give yourself enough credit. I often write carelessly here and elsewhere. For instance, in an earlier comment I made about the blue-eyed cat, I should have said, “I found it on Photobucket.” Instead I just said, “Found it on Photobucket.” Of course, you probably knew what I meant.

Hi Quaby. Have a good Evening, Doctor Toon. Hi ♥Kab♥

Gone With the Wind is actually on TCM, but I’m not watching it. I won’t be up long enough to see to the finish line. The current episode of Charlie’s Angels on SLEUTH is another story though.

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Sleep well, Sojourner

♠Lonewolf♠, check your e-mail when you check in. Sorry I didn’t reply sooner.

Hopeandjoy♫ said, about 5 longs walks ago

Gone to walk outdoors. May not return

Reminded me of this old song.

It sure was a nice day today.

G’night, Sojo. Hi, Grog.

Hi, bmonk

Well I suppose that, I too, should be sawing logs.

Gunite, bmonk and the rest of the Tribe!

Bye, Grog!

Did you miss me :-)

bmonk that old song had quite a beat…the group reminds me of Ringo, Paul, George and John. When I left to walk, I wasn’t sure if I would return to the internet or just stay outside to celebrate fresh air instead. My husband went to our University’s basketball game but since it was inside, I couldn’t bear it and chose not to go. *: )

Of course, Little Sis….then there is that saying about “bad pennies”…..but that wouldn’t apply to you.

Sorry to leave you, but you will find something to do.

MMM! Yummy Grape Jelly.

Kab Sister, Monkey 2 is very aware that she comes first, and Monkey 1 is a a close second (which is fine with her since I am a close second mom). The thing with other kids is mostly I think that they are comfortable around me, and if anyone knows how to inspire the proper level of trepidation PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

I know nothing of bad pennies.

Bad pennies are the ones you drop on the floor and don’t bother to pick up. Later, you walk on them and they are colder than the rest of the ground making you think you walked in something damp. Which is kind of icky. I currently have one right on my front porch. I keep stepping on it and thinking ‘Ewww! Little Slug!’, but I haven’t picked it up yet.

I get it now. :-))

They are also fun on kitchen and bathroom floors. Especially, bathroom floors!

How come I have this urge to encourage people to drop pennies on bathroom floors where people walk barefoot?

Any tile floor will do.
