goodnight all. Stay away from the blasted paint.

goodnight all. Stay away from the blasted paint.

Morning, and good night, Cleo and Tabby! I’ll take a smoothie for the road, thanks.

HI, MARG!!!

CLEO It may be my imagination but breakfast has sounded better since I went on my diet. Five days and still haven’t lost 30 lbs.

Good Morning TRIBE.

Lewreader, you must be devastated! Haven’t lost 30 lbs in 4 days???

Good morning and Happy Tuesday. cleo can I have some blueberries?

Morning all! Cleo remembered the blueberries! Yeah!

”Happiness is a firm bum”?, Wink, put down the brochure and walk away!

Good morning all.

Cleo great breakfast. May I have some salmon, eggs and fried potatoes, please? Maybe also a raspberry smoothie?

Lewreader Why is it that food always gets better when you’re on a diet?

By the way, does anyone have some ice cream? Enquiring minds want to know. I didn’t want to eat it all. Really. You can trust me.

I seem to be able to only think of food this morning. So I guess I’ll go have some real breakfast since I didn’t have any supper last night. Be back later.

Morning Doc! We were busy painting Cleo’s place last night! I think he REALLY appreciated our efforts! SNERK!

Serena salmon, hmm? I’ll trade some ice cream (Moose Tracks) for some salmon.

The key to firm buns is to knead the dough a second time, then let it rise some more before baking…

Good morning all!

We know Doc! So have Carmy and I been fans of said structures! LOL!

Hi DF! How are you this fine frosty cold morning?

Good morning tribe.

Wink will not get firm buns if he partakes of the daily breakfasts.

Good Morning all you fine artistes.

I like to begin each day happy. That is why I put my hands on my ladies firm bum. Just so I can get my day started right. :-)

good morning all. Doc we had to get our work done. we dont want to be considered slackers. gosh. hows that baby doing? spoild? mom holding up good?

Cleo said A few short moments ago that blew my mind away

“Good Morning all you fine Good Morning all you fine artistes”

HAHA DRY, JFRI, SHIKA, AND CARMY HE CALLED US “FINE ARTISES” HA HA HE ADMITS IT

*Tabby So he did! ROFLMAO!!

Doc have anything around your place that needs painted? Hmm?

Dry sounds like a good trade, but I have never tried Moose Tracks ice cream.

Doc you mentioned Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. Yummm. Are you sure you have any left? [Quickly hides cartons and spoon]. Surely you aren’t going to think I sneaked in and ate it all? Not innocent me.

Dry, ha i caught something GOOD about us go me.

Yea Doc need anything painted? do you do you? please please.

Dry wonder if the cats will help?

kid needs to wake up!!! i hate this computer.

Dry

what kind of trouble/ FUN do you think we can get into today?

Good morning, Tribe!

Can I get breakfast? I’d like: Country fried potatoes, bacon and eggs –but blueberries with the bacon and eggs, please. and raspberries with cream, and some blueberry-raspberry smoothie would be nice, if possible. And cranapple juice, even if I have to supply it.

By the way, for breakfast, I don’t particularly like firm buns so much as sticky buns, (aka sweet rolls or caramel rolls). I’ll even supply a pan, if someone has coffee.

Bmonk Cranapple juice is my FAVORITE drink in the world.

@Tabby and Dry, over at Pibgorn, it has been announced,

”It’s Children’s Games Day”

There’s tag, Hide-and-seek, kick the can, jump rope, jacks, Double-Dutch rope, Ghost in the Graveyard, Crazy Eights…

I KNEW cleo would appreciate our artistic talents!! Good morning, Tribe!!

I’m partial to it too–although the various grape juices can be pretty good too.

@JFri, so how many colors of paint–and which colors–did you end up using?

And which of Jackson Pollock’s techniques?

bmonk @JFri, so how many colors of paint–and which colors–did you end up using?

ALL of them!!

And which of Jackson Pollock’s techniques?

“Spray & pray???”

Was that from the 48-color box, or the 96?

@ *Bmonk 96 plus

bmonk, the 96, of course!!!! I said ALL of them, didn’t I????

going see if i can wake sleeping beauty. wish me luck

Luck

Was there a 150 color Crayola (R) box once, since I seem to be combining multiple threads?

Luck–and skill.

lol that was easy. i walked in put my hand on her back and said “baby girl” and she poped up and said “TABBBBBYYY!” and gave me a huge hug shes in a great mode. we are going to the movies later today to see the frog movie. ill bbl need to get her bathed and dressed.

All I could afford was the 96, bmonk. Still making payments on it! That’s why I needed the gig at cleo’s place!!

HEY, WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHNNYDOC5????

I guess the Crayolas (R) come in boxes of 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96 and 120 packs being marketed today. A 150 crayon pack featuring a plastic telescope-like case was introduced in 2006, with 118 regular color crayons, 16 glitter crayons and 16 “Metallic FX” crayons.

List of colors

good morning and goodbye Tribe just had time for a quick drop in while i was checking emails, too many errands to do. i will catch up on the tour later.

((Tribe))

Yes, I can attest to the use of at least 96 colors. I need sunglasses to cut down on the glare. That’s okay, it saves on light bills. I always try to look on the bright side. Now, I know what was meant when that expression was created.

So, DocT, you’re saying we did a stunning job??

@DocT, LOL–I was stunned when I opened the link.

Hi YYYguy, Bye YYYguy!

Hi bmonk! We do do good work! Does the monastery need a paint job? We realize you all don’t have much money, so we’ll take payment in food, if you prefer!

JFri you still owe me $5. You didn’t think I forgot did you? Snerk!

Yeah Cleo! With the price of electricity these days, we did do you a favor! You won’t need to turn your lights on in the evening until around midnite or so, and by then you’ll be turning in for the night. See , you have a lovely color scheme there, and savings on your light bill to boot!!

Dry, we went through this last night!!! I gave you $1.50 for painting supplies. If you didn’t spend it wisely, don’t come crying to ME for more!!

That $1.50 didn’t even buy the handle for the paint brush, cheapskate!

cheep, cheep, cheep!

How’d that little bird get in here, anyway?

Doc, not when you’re already in the plane, Snerk! Well, I am, it looks like JFri and Tabby are hanging on out there! Wonder if the pilot could land quick for a minute?

I for one would like to know what happened to Jdoc also!! i miss my tribe brother. sniff

welll getting ready for movies and doing the dishes i didnt do last night. bbml

I hope Tabby’s lips aren’t turning blue!

A little cold is good for you say s the MASTER OF, I LOVE SNOW, , GIVE ME LOTS OF SNOW!! THE MORE THE BETTER!

Sorry Doc I was sure I cleaned up the fingerprints. Besides you can’t prove it was me. Half the lies told about me are not true.

Hi everyone. Dry, JFri how are you at painting targets? There are a few people in RL that I want to fire a few snowballs [or something] at.

Well, thanks A LOT, Dry!! I’m out here, too!

:-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Pay me the 5 bucks you owe me and I’ll get you in here, Jfri!

serena, you have to be careful with those fingerprints. Doc has a junior fingerprint kit he bought for one of Wildcheetahs relatives and she tells me, he won’t give it to the poor kid. He’s been playing with it himself she says.

It doesn’t take much to amuse Doc when there’s snow coming, does it? LOL!

I really enjoyed reading about the painty raid at Cleo’s! Inventive, artistic, fun!

Hope everyone is recovered now.

@DocT, ours isn’t looking so nice: we have a nice winter weather advisory coming the next 24 hours…

@celecca, when I first saw your comment, I thought it was a “Panty Raid”–and I knew cleo doesn’t wear any!

Walking buddy is in surgery right now. please pray as soon as i know something ill pass it on. bbl just getting home from movies it was a great one. bbl

Of, course, Tabby and Walking buddy–you need but ask…

bmonk your weather is a bit bleak for me.

One thing you can say about JFri & Dry, they do not skimp on paint.

Yes, where the heck is johnnyd?

OKay so Walking buddy’s surgery was supposed to be @ 3, well its now 5:47 and i have heard nothing, nothing at all. i am worried sick. if she went back to work im gonna beat her. this one was in a worse place then the other two so i am freeking out here. cleaning the house to try to stay destracted, but every time i pass the window i catch myself looking out of it to see if she is home.

Thanks bmonk for the prayers.

SHE IS HOME PRAISE GOD!!!!

i have not talked to her or anything but shes home. im okayish now. she has to be okay if she is home. right? maybe i can get my stuff done now. maybe not. lol

Hi everybody!

HE LIVES!!!!!! HAHA I SAW HIM FIRST WELCOME BACK BRO. WAS ABOUT TO SEND OUT A SEARCH PARTY FOR YOU.

Happy New Year johnnyd. Nice to see you back. How were your hoidays?

Well look what the cat dragged in!!! Where ya been johnny??

HI Johnnyd where have you been?

Secluded at my parents house: no internet or phone. I said I’d be gone a while.

Yeah, jdoc, where have you been?

@cleo, but the question is, are your rooms measurably smaller now then they were yesterday?

Well, bmonk, if you wish for more specifics, just south of Belding Michigan, but I don’t think that will help any…

bmonk, smaller? I don’t know there’s to much of a glare.

The thing that I can’t figure out is why did they take the time to paint the gravel in my driveway?

Cleo - why do you think they wanted BLUEberry goodies this morning? They were still frozen from being outside in your drive.

Johnny a while does not constitute until Jan. 5! Slacking off were we? :-) GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK!

Cleo, we wanted any visitors you had to be able to see your driveway CLEARLY in the dark! That way they wouldn’t run over your blueberry and raspberry bushes on accident!! See how good we take care of you? :-)

Clever Celecca, BLUE LOL!

celecca, they may have avoided my blueberry and raspberry bushes (which are on the other side of the yard from my driveway) but they certainly didn’t leave my liquor cabinet undamaged.

doc you stayed up late today!

Hey Cleo we had to hide the stuff becasue we had a minor with us helping to paint you know! Can’t remeber where we put it though! :-)

Dry - When you pour enough alcohol down your throat you tend to forget how much you put there.

going catch up nobody run off.

tabby if you don’t come back, we will!

Cleo Me? I was standing in Sherwin Williams parking lot turning blue, waiting for someone to come get me! And JFri STILL owes me $5.!

Doc you’ll be happy to know, we are expecting snow here in the next couple days, could be a big one, are you ready … Depending on which way the storm tracks! LOL! And bitter cold!

Howdy Doc. Do me a favor and send a big pile of snow in the direction of Dry & JFri. I know they will look kindly on the delivery. Be sure you make JFri’s delivery stay south of me. LOL

I only do this Dry because I know how much you like the stuff. Besides the Booker’s will keep you warm dearie.

…as will the Meyers, the Patron, the Stock 84, the Laphroaig & the Tanqueray.

”celecca, they may have avoided my blueberry and raspberry bushes (which are on the other side of the yard from my driveway) but they certainly didn’t leave my liquor cabinet undamaged.”

I thought someone was using it to wash out the brushes–until they realized they really didn’t need brushes anwyay…

And it sure did help increase the ingenuity of the painters…

Hey Tabby has a geat talent for artistry! You should see what she did with the colors in the garage! I don’t think Cleo has seen that yet!

Cleo I don’t even know what Laphroaig is! Can’t blame me for that! If it came in a pretty bottle, I might have emptied it and used it for the flower arrangement I made for you over your mantle. Did you see that yet? :-)

Back

Well thank you Dry i do have some talent in me. :0)

so what are we painting tonight?

Cleo I don’t even drink so it was not me who empted your cabinet… and i dont out my group of fantastic four or my sister… who dosen’t drink either. :0P (shika i mean)

so whats going on now?

Hello Tribe Just dropping in long enough to let you know my rent check hit first so that’s safe. The other two could be covered by the 2 plasma checks I hadn’t put in the bank yet. That was very good Karma! Thanks.

so I texted walking buddy’s daughter and she said that Walking buddy is okay the surgry went well and shes resting. she is okay, so i am okay.

Tabby good to hear that about walking buddy!

quaby glad your check came!

Dry i forgot what it was like to be able to breath. it feels good to breath again.

quaby that is good.

Tabby Tell me about it! LOL! You are TOO young for that feeling, girl!

Dry she is like a mom, i call her mom lately and i cant think about losing her and i was in the dark didnt know what was going on. i was not breathing. and had to keep Ana from seeing me worried. Ana just went home a few mins ago. so if i need i can break down now.

I’m back, it is weird having things to do on my computer…

Tabby all will be fine, no need to break down, go eat some ice cream and play your wii! It will help relieve your stress!

johnny I hope your holiday was nice!

hello Doc

Goodbye doc! LOL!

Dry im watching the mighty ducks right now. and i have cake waiting on me. im doing a lot better now, it was bad earlier. now is much better. im thinking of calling her in a little while, but may wate till tomorrow not sure yet.

bye Doc

It was a very quiet couple of weeks for me. Spent almost in its entirety with family. It was quite nice thank you. I trust the rest of you had nice holidays as well.

Shall we start a whole new round of “Hey, johnny! Where ya been?” It was sooooo much fun the first time around!!

Jfri it wasquite fun.

Ok, I’ll go disappear for two weeks again. Readysetgo!

Yes johnny, quiet but nice. Glad you had a good time!

tabby it’s getting late. You should probably call tmr. She’s had a long day.

HEY JOHNNY, WHERE YA’ BEEN? WE MISSED YE KID!

I WANT TO RIDE ON CLEO’S AIRLINE! ROFLMAO!

the kids go to bed at 8, so i can call between 8:30 and 10 shes told me before. well i called her and she didnt answer but her husband called me back. he said she is in a lot of pain. shes not doing to well. Im eatting cake right now. :0( she is planing on going to work tomorrow told her husband to tell her i was gonna beat her. :0)

Jdoc dont do it

That’ll make her feel better!!

/./.,/.l;/l/l,lllll;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;..;l.?.;;l.,k…;l’;lk,;pl..;l,/; kllkjhgbv /fghjkl./

oops! i spilt cake on my lap top and was cleaning it off and the above is what happened.

Jfri im sure it will. lol she knows i wont do it. ill just hold her till she cant take it anymore. she over works. grr.

Tabby, fine, I’ll hover. With regards to your second comment: fix you spell-checker.

can u tell where it landed at?

Jdoc which one?

tABBY probably the same place my sauerkraut landed the other night on my keyboard! LOL!

Johnny, the sauerkraut fell out of my sandwich and landed on my keyboard, but the mustard didn’t! LOL!

you got lucky dry it was the iceing and part of the cake crumbs. poor computer

17 min left on computer…. just a warning

The US World Junior team just got SCREWED by the CANADIAN referees!!

okay so my computer crashed way b4 17 mins was up. now in bed with it pluged in and charging.

Do you tuck your computer in for the night?

Jfri HUH?

“my computer crashed way b4 17 mins was up. now in bed with it pluged in and charging.” Sounds like your computer is in bed, all tucked in for the night!

ah i got it now. you know im slow sometimes.

no lets try that again. I am all tucked in my computer is on my stomach now as i type very difficult for some reason. and its pluged in. if i was to tuck my computer in id be afraid it would over heat.

did we scare Dry away oh no shes painting wiht out us. and i bet carmy is also.

No tabby I just got a really strange call from our local 911, FIRST TIME THIS EVER HAPPENDED, pre-recorded message about a missing 14 year old girl in serious need of medical attention, she was missing one hour before I got that call. when did 911 start doing that? and there was nothing in our local paper about 911 starting this service.

i bet that creeped you out a little. it may be the amber alert thing… who knows. i know that when theres an amber alert you get text down here. but thats all i know.

And *JFri * what are you talking about, the Winterhawks? Did they play away tonight? Well yes, I guess if you’re talking about them, they did! LOL!

no the question is will they call you all back when they find her? and will you beable to sleep with this on your mind and what kind of people call you at this time of night. :0o

bmonk I have incriminating fingerprints everywhere. I mean did they even use brushes. Dry drank my Laphroaig, she knows alcohol when she sees it. She wouldn’t let it go to waste. Tabby not only painted my garage but our cars as well. I feel like John Lennon did with his paintee Rolls Royce, except his was nice. JFri’s * idea of painting is to use a brush to paint *Booker’s over and over again. I think he has a problem. Oh gosh, what a group of weirdos.

I am off to watch a movie. I have armed guards stationed along my painted driveway.

Tabby It’s a good thing, given this day and age, but when my mom was still living, I had* WAY MORE THAN MY SHARE of phone calls, esp. in the middle of the night!* Mom has been gone for over 4 years now, but that sound in the middle of the night stays with you forever!

The car was NOT me. :D it was Shika Hehe. sorry sis but got to give credit where credit is due.

I should probably just go to bed, I am tired, and have a Wednesday to tackle tomorrow. Those are unpleasant days!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((DRY))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) i love you

Peace and love all!

night Jdoc good to have you back missed you.

geez Cleo, we did a good job and you know it! Your house is the Premiere house in your neighborhood! In fact some of your neighbors want us to come paint their places!

blueberries

Night johnny! It is good to have you back!

Tabby, love you too girl! Try not to worry too much, okay?

i can TRY but no promisess. :0)

find Dry

well i found where i started posting on stone soup and wow people were rud back then also. looking for Marg and mins first convo. :0)

No, it wasn’t the Winterhawks, although we have players at the tournament. It’s the World Junior Championship Gold Medal game. US vs Canada and the US was up 5-3 when they called a penalty on a US player for running into the Canadian goalie when he was PUSHED into him by a Canadian player! Bogus call, bogus penalty. Well, Canada scored on the ensuing power play and then got all pumped up and tied the game. US won in OT, though. WE ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!

first day Marg talked to me :D

Akent and Marg gang up on tabby

last two links show you the days i miss the most it also shows you that we have great people here.

Hey and Dry was there also!!

For JFri, wrong team, but the sentiment is there:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQYme_Vm7Rk

*Oh I remember that! All of that! * (((((((((((((((Tabby, Marg, Akenta))))))))))))))))))

Dry the good ‘ol days. i have been looking for that. cant beleive we have been together that long.

i love you three!!

Carmy where did we meet at so i can find it as well

Isn’t it funny how both JFri & Dry feature avatars that are running.

Carmy

Where are you?

Good night Tribe. I enjoyed our fun last night, fellow artistes!

((((cleo)))) I feel I owe you that, since I couldn’t help expressing my creative side while painting your car. And some trees….

And maybe a small mural on the side of the house…………………

;-D

Good Night and Peace and Love!

there she is ha ha! night shika

Dry Why don’t you ever believe me?

Why are the avatars running in opposite directions? They look funnier that way!

Night Sis! You guys know me too well.

BYE!

shika idk bc you shika

That’s why Tabby , but don’t let cleo know it’s his garage!

Carmy has had a long day! she is pooped! Maybe she’ll be on later.

Dry is sneaky.

Good night all.

i thought so both to carmy & pics.

Carmy isn’t the only one who’s pooped!

Peace and Love Tribe!

At least I don’t have to do breakfast! Cleo is right! I am sneaky :-) , and lazy tonight!

i am tired as well falling asleep reading almost done for the night
