Oh! Hello Little Sister!

I just stopped in saw no one here, wrote a menu and have to leave. Hope you had a great date!

Great menu Big Sister :-) I’ll just have a cinnamon roll for now.

I got it, It’s Jaws Freeze-D Attack Of The Arctic Shark.

I had a great date. Now I’m getting ready to turn in, so good night.

OOOPS* If I do say so myself, **SIR LEWSgrilled cheese sounds comforting this morning. Whats the soup de jour and when was it made?

Sorry about the teary eyed story yesterday but now I am in the happy state of denial. I swear the dog is walking with more spring and the bulge around her middle is getting thinner. Th vet said those $100 pills might work. Can’t pray for a dog but I can hope they might. Hope I see a happy dance my second trip through Big Top today.

Thank you all for your support TRIBE. Read BT 4 times yesterday for hope.

Nothing to be sorry about Lew. BT’s Tribe is always supportive and willing to send positive karma. I know I can’t thank them enough.

Special thoughts to you and yours, sir.

Good Morning,*Ooops! ♥Little Sister♥, Lewreader, & Plods with Beer.

Lewreader, I won’t pray for for anything or anybody, but I will wish your dog well - and even your cats if need be.

No surprise here, Ooops! but I’ll have the………..

I love the OBH at comics.com

Good Morning, Doctor Toon

Good Morning, Tribeandall

A new day. I’m working, but still……………….it is a new day.

Got a run to make, but should be back in about an hour.

Good Morning Grog OBH made my day. I printed it off for my husband so he will know what we can look forward to…in the near future…(tee hee)

Good Morning Doc Toon (you sound so happy!) Plodswbeer (you expressed the Tribe well) Sir Lew (I hope the medicine works…and I pray for my animals when needed whether I should or shouldn’t) Little Sister and OoopsLuv (Glad the date was a success and thank you for the menu)

Love those cinnamon rolls that have nuts and raisins and a tiny bit of icing. Thank you again.

Good morning, Oooops, Little Sis, Sir Lew, PWB, Grog, LoneWolf, HopeandJoy, and all who are to come…….

A great Sunday morning! We had a lovely 40 ish degree Saturday and got all kinds of errands done. Now, it’s a gentle 24, with a very soft snow falling. Another cold blast from Alberta coming down.

Love the menu, Oooooooops…I think I’ll try Lonewolf’s Huevos Rancheros, and of course Doc’s Coffee, followed with a generous slice of Lemon Meringue Pie!!! (of course, I’m still on my diet……..but with the “virtual” b’fast….there’s no calories…woohoo!!)

Good Morning, ♠Lonewolf♠, HopeandJoy♫ and Montana Lady

Good morning Lonewolf (Hope your work goes smoothly) and Montana Lady (I like your expression gentle 24 and regarding food….I am with you)

Carpe Diem applys in your case, I thinkDoc Toon from what you’re saying. Smiles! Live for today.

Hello all I think next week is *♥Little Sister’s♥ *

That is what facebooks shows.;)

If I made a mistake I have a great excuse I my sinus is infection I’m off on my thinking.

Good Morning, Sojourner

Good Morning Doctor Toon and Grog!

Sleep well, Doc

Have a good snooze Doctor Toon.

I think even my BD is listed. I’m not a regular on facebook. I have family though since no one calls good way to find out what goes on with some.

Hello ♥Kab♥ - I don’t use facebook, at least not yet.

Good morning everyone. :-)

Good Morning ♥Little Sister♥!

Another beautiful day to do things, so I’ll be back and forth.

Face book is okay, but these day I don’t have a lot of time for it. Plus I don’t care much for the games it has.

Hello Tribe!

Back from an extended run. Taking my lunch and OMG, it’s only noon time here. I don’t know if I can handle lunch at a normal hour!!!

Well if your hungry………

Hi, Lil’ Sister, Sojo, Kab, Grog & HopeandJoy♫!

How’s everyone doing today?

Hello ♠Lonewolf♠ - Fine so far, I hope your day is good!

I’m fine, just relaxing right now.

Sojo, I’ve been running in the truck since I got here, so it is going well and the time has been moving along quite quickly! WooHoo!

Hello pseudo!

…ping…ping…ping…ping….

Hi, Pseudo & Quaby!

I can’t watch the game on the Telly, but I am tuned in on the ‘puter.

GO BULLS!!!

Hello Quaby!

pseudo - It’s in the Sherpa area. You can add it to your Comic Page if you want. I don’t know how often it updates. Some are regular in updating. When I first came to GoComics I choose some toons their I liked. Turned out they never updated because they wern’t being written anymore. I don’t check it out much now. Yes, that one does seem R rated. One concern I have is little kids that read the toons as this is a general web site. Hopfully younger kids wouldn’t understand it.

Others probably know about Sherpa then I do.

ping…ping…pong…ping..poing…pockatapockata…..

At the home page it’s one of the choices you can select at the top also Editorial Cartoons. It’s also at the top when choosing comics for your comic page. Sherpa are new cartoons that aren’t syndicated (or sold for publcation I think). GoComics is letting them tryout to see if people like them. Sometimes they make it to become a regular cartoon if their liked.

At the bottom of the page you can click on Help & FAQ to help you learn more.

Bulls win!!!

Hey, Lonewolf Bulls won and are 2 up over Miami in the Lost column.

Doc Toon !!

Pseudo Just lazing away this afternoon and going to watch some of Wisconsin-Ohio State. Make dark letters using twoasterisksbefore and after name or whatever. One asterisk slants the print and the Number symbol MAkes the whole line huge!

funny Cats with Hands

Quaby Ping-Ping can you figure out this avatar demise?

Hi Sojo

I hear you loud and clear, HopeandJoy♫!!

(giggle) Poof

Hello HopeandJoy♫!

The SSNB Erehwon glides past the dock for the Big Top’s kitchen, slowly turning towards LoneWolf’s Truck and Submarine Repair not quite making it into the repair berth. After a few minutes of various clicks and hisses the hatch opens, ten of the crew shambling out. Despite their exhausted appearance, eight of them manage to jump nimbly to the walkway on either side, the remaining two went forward, uncovering two portals which revealed docking ropes. These were tossed to either side, threaded throuth a pully system and the vessel winched the rest of the way into the berth. Once secured they sat where they were at, rubbing at their faces and generally looking like something the cat dragged in.

Wolfangil just called and said our furnace is not working. I guess I know what I am doing when I get home!

Pseudo, My mother’s furnace quit about three weeks ago, but it was 29 years old so we replaced it. She’s 79 and I don’t need to have it failing frequently.

Sorry to hear that ♠Lonewolf♠ - Hope it’s an easy fix.

I’m hoping it is something that I can fix, Sojo. I’m just now getting caught up from being out of a full time, good paying job.

No, her new one is working fine, Pseudo. Mine has quit now.

About three years ago, I fixed it. I think it was the igniter that time. Not sure.

BTW, thanks for the link, HopeandJoy♫.

It’s always a chilly experience when your heater goes out.

GROG Maybe I’m reading wrong but if you want me to FedEx it to you, tomorrow you could be the proud owner of 13 pounds of lovable fur, fangs and claws. Only needs attention during non-sleeping hours, his, not yours. A fierce predator of dust mites, house flies, and I don’t know what that crazy cat is chasing

Hello Lewreader!

Hi Lew and Pseudo :-)

Good Afternoon, Peoples! Hope your day off is leisurely! Especially: pseudo, ♠Lonewolf♠, ♥Li’l Sis♥, Lewreader, Sojo!!

Warning: Religious content ahead

Lewreader, you said something about not being able to pray for a dog–but if we are put on Earth, as Christians believe, to learn to love–why not pray for some of the best models of what it means to give oneself wholly in love?

Around .LoneWolf’s Truck and Submarine Repair. shop some members of the. Erehwon’s .crew can be seen longing around. Most are officers, waiting for news on their home’s seaworthiness.

Finally the captain comes out of the shop, giving a solomn nod to the ones who waited. Mr LoneWolf says it will take 6-7 days to repair the submarine. We have that long to somehow get the means to transfer the funds to his account, was the solemn report given.

Heads turned to one crewman, the hapless purser who also controls the monies needed to carry on operations outside the scope of military funding. I’m sorry, alright? he said tersely. We pay nearly everything via electronic transfer. I didn’t know we needed checks this soon!!

The Captain sighed, We all make mistakes. I am not about to begin the stone-casting. Another sigh. I just wish you had made it a rush instead of standard delivery.

Tired, black-ringed eyes scanned the officers. Let’s go into the mess and get some of that wonderful coffee, then see what Shorty’s whipped up for us.

Slowly the men and women rose and assembled raggedly behind their leader. Already the enticing smells of something tomato-based was in the air, as was the smell (and soft glow) of the world’s most potent coffee and nuclear sub fuel, DocToon’s World Famous Nuclear Coffee.

Hello bmonk!

Hi, DocT–I lost track of my Tardis in my last regeneration…

Home from work and I diagnosed the furnace. The Exhaust blower has quit. The sealed bearings are shot. I could not find it anywhere in the area looking online, so I have ordered it online and should have it delivered Tuesday. I have got the furnace working temporarily, but have no idea how long the hand oiled bearings will hold out.

Hopefully it will last long enough ♠Lonewolf♠, glad it wasn’t major.

Sojo - - First price I found for the part was $265. I finally worked it down to $89 from Amazon, including 2 day shipping. I belong to Amazon Prime and 2 day shipping is only 3.99 with the membership.

Good Evening, Tribe.

It turned out to be a lot busier day than I wanted it to be. I ended up messing up the frames for my glasses. I went to Lense Crafters and they woolen’t give me the new frames without an eye exam. I’ll get my new glasses in about 2 weeks. At least the ones I’m wearing are still wearable - just not pretty.

Lewreader, I’ll pass on the cat, but thanks anyway. Come my eventual retirement, hopefully in the next decade, I may consider a dog.

Hi, Grog. Sorry to hear about the frames for your peepers. I do that every now and then. But mine are much cheaper. I use mine for close up only, so I get the inexpensive ones from Walgreens.

I missed you earlier, I see!

Hi, Lonewolf. Actually it didn’t cost me as much as it did last time around, by about $100 - but still not cheap. And then throw in the eye exam….I still come out a little ahead.

That’s good to hear, Grog.

Hello everyone. I guess we are going to get *sigh another snow coming Tuesday. NW part of KS 9.1” I hope we don’t get that much. And now spring break is almost here. 18th teacher-inservice the 21-25th school is out.

Lewreader and any other pet person (fur babies).

Send a prayer for the pet. God gave us the ability to care and love these creatures of his, he will not mind the least little bit. At least that’s my opinion. After all…..was St. Frances of Assisi an animal hater? I think not.

And for the rest of us, Shorty has lasagna with several levels of cheesiness, garlic bread, assorted steamed veggies, chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. The beverage bar hasn’t changed much, though I did bring in some pineapple/orange juice. Yum…..

Hello Grog!

Thank you Quaby!

Hi, Kab. That is a lot of money!

No luck. I can’t get the furnace tow work for more than five minutes and then it needs to cool down for 15 minutes or so. It’s going to be a couple of cold nights till the part gets here!

Well I managed to get caught up on things for toddy so i’ll call it a night now.

Good night, Triibeandall.

Sorry too hear that. Don’t get too cold ♠Lonewolf♠.

Good Night Grog.

Sir Lew After I explained to Monkey 2 and her friend that because you and the dog in question had an established relationship where you were not on friendly terms, even though you loved the stupid pain in the backside dog, you could not admit it and could not pray for the dog……. They both sent positive thoughts and prayers for you and She Who Must Be Obeyed’s dog.

Sometimes you just don’t realize how much you care until something brings it to your attention. Sir Lew it is okay to admit you love the dog you think of as a nuisance. Whether you can do that or not I will keep sending.       Luv, Positive Thoughts & Prayers

Good Night Grog.

Thank you, Sojo. I’m more concerned with the kids and Wolfangil. I think my furry creatures will be OK, too!

Hello Ooops!

Hi, friends! Wolfie - Don’t you have a fireplace or something? I was thinking you mentioned having something in case of a power outage. It might be time to burn some wood. Since you have electricity, perhaps an electric space heater or more could be borrowed, rented or bought to keep it from getting too cold? Electric blankets would be really nice, but they are expensive if you don’t already have them.

Hello Smiley R Mom!

Hi, Sojo! I hope you’ve stocked up, it looks like some icky weather is coming this way. However, I think I read only about an inch for Wichita is expected at this point.

Rmom, I do have a fireplace but, we are currently doing spring cleaning and the basement is full of furniture and boxes. I wouldn’t feel safe with the fireplace burning away on it’s own.

Good evening, LuvH8 & Rmom!

Hi, Oooops! & Wolfie! Nice minons, Oooops! Are they Monkey 2’s and friends?

Lonewolfsounds like we need to pray for you and yours as well as Lew’s dog I remember how thankful I was when our furnace quit last winter that our electrician came over at 10:30 at night and got it going and then wouldn’t take any money for the late call….

Hi to Smiley R Mom, Ooops and Grog and bmonkGolferman husband and I went over to watch 7 innings of our Mules baseball (ahead 12-3 when we left.) Watching baseball with blankets and mufflers is different!!

Good Evening Sojo, Rmom & Lonewolf

I am not sure why but I have been having trouble getting around GoComics with Fiend for hours at a time recently. Which is icky, because I haven’t had a chance to sit down at a computer and try during those times.

Glad you are here now Ooops You or someone might give Pseudo that link to “Pighorn” (not the right name) so he can learn what I didn’t!!

Love the Dance Gone to watch Les Miserables on PBS.

ByeHopeandJoy♫.

Oooops! - I’ve been having a little trouble lately with gocomics, but the problem didn’t seem to persist the whole day. And I don’t have a smart phone.

Drat! I’m going to have to get off. My printer spool is frozen. Thankfully, it doesn’t happen too often, but the only solution that seems to work is to reboot the computer. Then it will be time to start herding my hubby towards bed. He’s developed a cough, so I hope he doesn’t get worse!

Good Night Smiley R Mom.

Good Night, Rmom.

Greetings TRIBE

Lonewolf I’m sorry to hear about your furnace. I hope the weather does not turn bad until you can get it fixed. Not even then. We have been living most of this cold and way too long winter wrapped in every blanket we can find. We’ve been without a furnace for nearly 2 months and it is NO FUN.

Lew if you read this you should know that my prayers are for you and your family [including the dog] at this time.

Hello serenasakitty!

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Hello Serena. Two months without a furnace! What part of the country do you live in? I feel bad for you. Mine will be fine in a couple of days.

On my way to read and bed…..pseudo I know very little about this Magic…..I couldn’t begin to “pdf(?)” my hard drive…so I am glad you and we enjoy the magic that goes on around here and the REAL magic may be in fixing cars and furnaces; cabins in the mountains and our pets and in friendship with people we wouldn’t recognize if we met them on the street! Isn’t it Great?!!

Happy Dreams to all!

Good Night, HopeandJoy♫. Rest well!

Pseudo

Sometimes we do overexplain, and we leave it up there. I hope you don’t assume that it means we think you or anyone is an idiot. Not everyone catches on that quickly. some people will have not understood before and suddenly because one little thing changed it all ‘clicks’ for them.

So……… even though you are the person we are addressing, you may be the only person learning a new trick or there maybe ten people learning. (blushing) Plus, sometimes it is fun to show off.

By the way, you are learning a lot faster than I did.

Smiley R Mom

My Minions! Haaa! I can get Monkey 2’s friends to do things the first time they come over, then they figure out I am a pushover and no more minions.

Pseudo…………ummm, gee …that came off not very well.

I apologize, the explanation is true, but I wrote it when I was frustrated and it doesn’t sound nice. Sometimes we are so excited to teach our tricks (especially those of us who are not computer savvy) that we might get a little tiny bit carried away. Sorry if it seemed I was treating you like an idiot, or for that matter that there was so many of us saying almost the same thing made you feel we thought you were incompetent.
