(thats my fav meal)

*THE STRIP!!!

ROFLACMBO! love it

OH I FORGOT SOMETHING!

GOOD MORNING TRIBE FAMILY!

HELLO JOY, SHIKA, AKENTA, DRY, MARG, CARMY, JFRI, DOC, CLEO, JDOC, AND ALL THE REST.

’Morning, Tabby! I call roof! I’ll try the grits down there. I had some at a Denny’s up here, and they were the worst thing I’ve ever tasted. I love polenta, and I’m sure that if I had grits that were properly cooked, I’d like them, too.

Good Morning Tabby! The #62 sounds like a good choice. I’ll go warm up the car.

So that’s why Manfred is making a weird face in the second panel! LMBO!!

MARG the grits arent great, i rather the instent stuff myself, when i get that i get it replaced with bacon. :0) so bad i know.

Good Morning Marg! I tried grits once and I didn’t really care for them, but I’m just one of those fussy eaters.

good morning Carmy i only like grits sometimes and since i got braces not at all. i just dont seem to care for them much.

62 sound great to me too. Thanks - I’ll ride shotgun!

hey Dawn how are you!? its been a while

okay i must appoligize, it seems that i am jumping on everyone as soon as they get here then they are running off. sorry folks. im just catching up and refreshing when i get one page down between my eyes clossing

Oops - guess i shouldn’t have used the number sign. My company just leaft and more is coming tomorrow. Love this weather but it brings all the relatives from all over Canada!!! I sure do miss you all and I haven’t been able to read any of the comments for three or four days.

((((Tribe))))

Hi Tabby You’re right it has been a long time.

I shouldn’t complain though - I do have fun with the relatives - just miss the ‘toons.

Tabby looks like your eyes finally closed for the night. How long will you have your braces?

Tabby, OK, I’ll skip the grits. Guess I’ll have the #62 also. ‘Morning Carmy and Dawn!

And goodnight , all.

Good Morning Dawn! Sorry Tabby, I’ve been cruising the comics.

dawn still here im reading yesterdays stuff

4 years of this fun

carmy its fine i was just noticing how u all ran off. night marg

BTW I noticed Joy that you’re now 77? Good goin’! You’ve got me beat by a few but I hope that I will keep up my interests like you have. My FIL is 90 and he still is on the computer all the time so chances are good.

Well, time for bed - cy’all in a few days.

‘Night Marg, and Hi Carmy how’re you doing?

my eyes wont let me read or see the keys anmoyr. night

‘Night Tabby - me too.

BTW, Tabby, my son had his braces for nine years then needed an extraction and an implant anyway - a real incompetent mess, so I sort of know what you’re going through.

Dawn, I am doing okay, thank you. Hope all is well with you. Good Night Tabby, Marg and Dawn!

Hi, Carmy!!!! Night Tabby & Dawn!

Good Morning JFri! I was just clearing out of here, it’s time for me to snooze. Goodnight JFri, see ya tomorrow!

**Eat your hearts out chocolate lovers!!!

Especially you, MARG!!!

no one’s posted in an hour and a half? i’ll sneak in a deposit to the karma bank and hope i find time to drop in in the daytime.

(((Tribe)))

hi Joy, i had the same problem. came up as a statement that i had a bunch of infected files that needed immediate clearance and would not let me back away. i cancelled every tab i had open and ran a complete scan of my system that took over 30 minutes to do and came up clean. sometimes this site isn’t much fun, but at least BT is. so much for dropping in in the daytime, i still haven’t got to bed 3 hours after i was first going to do so. now for sure (even though it’s 6:45 am)!

JOY I just figure my most clever comment is sometime in the future. Those virus will run in fear from it.

Good Morning TRIBE! I’m back on my diet and can’t go to breakfast with you. Enjoy!

Good Morning Tribe!

Hello Joy, Yguy, Lewreader, Marg, JFri, Carmy and any others I might have missed.

Hello Joy. My mother will be 78 tomorrow. More power to you, lady!

Good Morning all. Last night I re-watched Robert DeNiro in King Of Comedy. If anybody can capture Manfred’s inner soul it is him. snerk

Good Morning Cleo.

That movie is an oldie but a goodie.

I will have chicken fried steak and hash browns with eggs over easy, toast and strawberry rhubarb jam. Imported coffee from the exotic village of Loveland. Tasty.

I had a grapefruit and I am drinking Swiss Chocolate Almond coffee this morning.

Good morning, Terry, Joy, Lewreader, yyyguy, JFri, Carmy, Dawn, Tabby & Marg!

You know, in all our breakfasts, I don’t think anyone has ever served S H I T on the Shingle! That’s what I want this morning! I’m hungry for it!

Morning all!

I’m Ba-ack! (just barely actually, thanks to some less than stellar ATCs and the weather.)

How’s everyone doing?

My son had one of those malware problems this week, too. And he doesn’t read gocomics on his computer, so it can’t be blamed for that instance. My other son, the geek, was real upset that he had to fix the computer, but thankfully, was able to. Dad had to calm him down, because he was threatening to ban his brother from the internet! The guys all have AVG, but I have Norton, so hope I will be okay.

Terry, my wife hadn’t seen it before and it had been years since I had watched it. It was almost like watching it for the first time for me, it had been so long.

Dry Good Morning Dear and wipe that sh*t eating grin off of your face.

Good Morning Rmom!

Good Morning Digital Frog!

Welcome Back!

Good Morning Digit & Rmom.

Ever since I switched from Norton to McAfee, I haven’t had any virus problems. Been about 8 or 9 months now. If it works for you, be happy!

Hi DF, did you see my comment the other day? Who else was there besides William Shatner, that was notable, and were you at a SciFi convention, per chance?

Good Morning Doc & Dry!

And how did your Friday night go, Doc?

Good morning Doc and Terry! Beautiful day here!

Dry - No such luck on the Sci-Fi - it was a software convention for IBM products. They had a closing speaker that was some scientist from the hadron collider, nearly put me to sleep.

Good for you Doc. We use Friday nights for family time here. We watch TV, movies, get pizza, play Wii and video games. Things like that. Just family!

Digit, so the hadron collider accelerated your particles towards the deep sleep.

By the way Good Morning Doc. We are having another sunny glorious day. I hope you are getting a bunch of snow so that you can enjoy your weather as much as I am enjoying mine.

DF if it was work related it probably was more of a pain than fun, huh?

Good morning all! Doc, it was probably just the January thaw come early. Cleo, unfortunately, that might be the case for your nice weather too. It was a weak one here in Michigan, it got a little warmer, but not much. Personally, though, I am hoping for an early spring.

Good Morning Johnny.

cleo, when you get soaking wet every time you go outside, it is a sure sign SOMEONE painted a sunny landscape on the inside of the lenses on your sunglasses!! And whatever the bleep it is you are smoking/drinking…..

GIVE ME SOME, TOO!!

Good Morning johnnyd. We are getting an early spring. Our cherry trees started blooming a couple of days ago and the daffodils are coming up rapidly. Leaves are starting to come out on our roses. This could be bad if February is cold.

JFri I wish I could help you out. So you aren’t getting any of this?

Dry - a bit of both - I got a lot of info I needed for work, but there was a lot of evening parties and they gave us 3 hours in Universal Studios all to ourselve. The food was absolutely fantastic also.

good afternoon Tribe weather here is about 30F cloudy with sunny periods (and it’s very sunny right now). only going to be here for a little while because i’m going to take advantage of the nice weather to go for a walk. missed seeing DF’s puns, glad to see you survived the convention.

good morning all, again

so i slept for 10 hours. can we say Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now to wake up fully and get some stuff done b4 i head to a friends bday party and what to where???? its a themed bday. willy wonka. eh oh

bbl

Doc, December is quite mild here usually, since it was very cold this year, I am hoping that it starts warming up by March. Cleo, you are just lucky!

hi Tabby, DocT, cleo, JFri, DigiFrog, Dry, JDoc, Terry and anyone else i missed. have fun at your party Tabby. i’m going to look at crossword puzzles. brb.

cleo, we are supposed to have a dry (no pun intended!) here but it looks foggy & overcast right now.

Hello Yguy!

Hi JFri and yyyguy!

Good morning, DocT, JFri, yyyguy, jdoc, Tabby, DFrog, cleo, and Terry!

I noticed I’m no longer a certified genius…Funny, I don’t feel any stupider…

Good Morning bmonk. When my genius status ended, I discovered I couldn’t go back to the old format. I hope you do not likewise suffer withdrawals.

So far, not.

hi bmonk I will say it again, being a genius is worth $1.00 a month. Now watch, I’ve been telling everyone how great it is, and they’ll probably raise the fees! LOL!

Cleo i had the same problem. i wanted my genius back.

so now to find out what im going to dress like… ill be in and out asking for help. :D

Good Morning Bmonk. You don’t look any worse without the badge. :^)

just because this site refuses to call me a genius, doesn’t mean i’m not one. i am a yyyguy after all. (but i may pay for it just to avoid these blankety blank pop-ups. it’s a good ruse on their part to let people see how the “genius” can miss some of the hassles mere mortals have to endure.)

Yguy, I’d like to know what the numbers are for those temp geniuses that bought the yearly upgrade.

how much do they charge anyway? (geniuses are defined in part by their laziness.)

Doc, as soon as I knew I was going to stay on with this site, I purchased it. That was enough for me.

Yguy, 11 something per year.

I believe it’s $11.88 per year, which averages to approximately .99 per month…

i am thinking this

Good morning Tribe ((((((TRIBE)))))

A little after 1pm here in the armpit of the universe, rather chilly but not as bad as last weekend.

I’ve been up for a while, but the Angel Food truck was delayed (no accident, thank God) and I didn’t get the stuff until noonish. But it’s worth the wait. The seafood box I got for $35 I guestimate at about $50, even if you could get stuffed flounder at Wally-World. I also got 10 pounds of breaded chicken nuggets for $18. $1.80 a pound is excellent price. I’m pleased, and it helps stretch the budget.

I’m making chicken soup today, with the frozen veggies from Angel Food. So far it smells great. Boiled a whole chicken and picked the meat off. Think I may just do white meat next time…IE individually frozen chicken breasts. Would make it easier, admittedly.

Beef soup is my next challenge.

Okay, I’m rambling, but workwise I’m exhausted. I’ve worked at a chaotic pace before, but we worked up to it. I’ve gone from laid-back Imports into Chaos and just hard to get my feet under me again. But I will persevere. Pity is we don’t get $$ for overtime, we get comp time. Fine by me, I’m compensated one way or ‘tuther.

Sunday evening I’ll pull some Karma from the bank and prepare for round two. That should help.

Catch you later.

Good Morning (((((Quaby))))).

hi Quaby. hang in there. you’ll make it.

@Quaby, I’m glad you are doing so well. I know by Thursday night I was just exhausted ma-self.

Unfortunately, as has been pointed out, in my line of life, “the hours are long, the pay is low–but retirement is out of this world!”

haha maybe ill just be the blueberry chick! :D

bbl need food

bmonk very well said!

Quaby Wally-World? Reminds me of* I believe it was a Chevy Chase Vacation movie*, they were heading to Wally World Amusement Park, and I believe when they got there, it was closed.

ok so change of planes i have decied not to go to party…. all on my own. now off for food

Tabby oh, too bad! You would have looked cute in that get-up!

everyone needs to party at some point. celebration is part of life (and a part to not be missed)! don’t skip all the parties, Tabby.

I never missed a party in college either–I was having too much fun reading and studying…

Dry Term of affection in the south for the mega-giant, Wal-Mart. Or derision. Depends on how good the sales are that week. Lately they’ve had fewer and fewer choices on the shelves.

Chicken soup aroma’s are filling the apartment. Yum Yum.

Quaby I wondered, I thought maybe it may have soemthing to do with them. I go there ONLY IF I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO!

Dry well it would have been brown pants and a white shirt insted bc i dont have white pants hate them. lol

Doc i dont go to parties like that. :0)

Yguy i went to a party earler this year. :0) ( a one year olds party, but hey it was a party)

i was going to go to this party bc its my frind form hs and shes having her bday party. well she told my other friend bug to tell me i could come, but im not sure if its true or not and Bug just wants me to go so that some guy will leave her alone. ill just be so out of place, pluse one of my ex’s will be there and i dont want to make him unconfortable. so im just going to stay home.

i never meant that you should go to this party, specifically, just that parties are important, too. (after all, i joined the Tribe during the party for Carmy and i’m glad i did!)

Wal-Mart is one of a handful of places that does not import oil for their gasoline sales.

OH GOODNESS DRY SAY THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!

Look what i found laying around….. just so you know i stood up for him. :0)

” Favre on the ground, Favre on the ground, looking like a victory with Favre on the ground. Helmet turned sideways, turf in the mouth, looking like a victory with Favre on the ground!!! Geaux Saints!”

more smack talk. i saw one where some MN fans were apologizing for a retouched photo showing a purple hurricane heading for NOLA that someone had posted. those people are trolls of the ugliest kind.

Terry that’s good they don’t import oil but they import just about everything else. Sam would be rolling in his grave if he knew what his heirs did to his chain.

yyyguy Prince didn’t help any. He’s a die hard Viking fan, and has done some songs I just love, you’d think he could have come up with a better song than what he did!

HI DRY

couldnt help it i just love that saying. hehe

http://comics.com/marmaduke/2010-01-23/

FUNNY

Tabby* funny cartoon.

now bug is upset with me

anyhow, Tribe, it’s time for me to start my day (before it’s over). i have a soccer game to view before the hockey game starts, and i haven’t even eaten breakfast, yet. hmm, the “sit at the computer all day and don’t eat” diet. i wonder if it would work for lewreader? bye everyone!

(Tribe)

Shika move to tell Tabby not to let it worry you. you have to make your own choices, and if you choose to not go then the rest of the world will just have to accept it.

now i’m really gone.

Yguy thanks. it just hurts me that shes upset. i just feel out of place there its hard to explain and if iwas not personaly invited it does not seem right for me to go.

Tabby loved that Marmaduke! SO TRUE!

Tabby if your friend that is having the party did not invite you personally, then it isn’t BUG’s place to invite you. That is improper ettiquette.

Tabby - I’m with Dry on this one. The host or hostess of the party is the only one to extend invitations. From what I hear, the type of parties where guests invite other guests are usually the ones the police like to raid.

Dry my favorite store is Bi-lo, unfortunately I can’t afford the prices there. Wal-Mart is better than Piggly Wiggly (outrageous prices) and K-Mart (just gets on my nerves). I catch the sales at Food Lion because it’s right at the end of the street I live on. It’s heck being middle=class poor. I know I have it better than a lot of people, but still…I remember Bi-Lo……

Anyway, I’m off to the Dragon. Soup will be ready about 7pm EST, so feel free to help yourself. Sweet Potato Pie (courtesy of Angel Food) topped with Great Value Vanilla Ice Cream. Enjoy

she tells them to bring a friend. idk i just know im not going, maybe we can all have a family night and watch tv and eat pizza. LOL funny

Terry & yyyguy - I’ve got most of the pictures I want to share uploaded. Not saying I won’t add more as time goes on, but I’ve put a bunch of my sunsets & other weather-related pictures up. (((Quaby))) - Just thought you could use a hug!

How lovely! We are under a Flood Watch for tmr thru Monday!

Family nights are a lot of fun! We enjoy them.

Dry - It could be worse…it could be sn_w!

Rmom thanks! i’ll take a look later (though i don’t seem to be doing much of a job of leaving here.) i have just barely started putting up some of my photos there. i’ll let you know what i think.

I was listening to my weather alarm about 5:30am because a storm was coming through. This storm was mostly just rain, but I heard the forecast for later in the week might include the frozen precipation stuff.

YUCK!

I’ll get a look at those Pictures and get back to you Rmom. Haven’t felt all that well the last couple of days and I have been dozing quite a bit.

Dry hope you won’t need the hip waders! (fingers crossed on your behalf.)

Terry - Sorry you have been “under the weather” lately. Rest up as much as you can, as I know that helps. I’m having a case of the sleepies myself, but know if I take a nap now, I won’t be able to sleep when its bedtime.

Well, it is another terrific day here. We got back from our bike ride and have a wake to go to in about 45 minutes. I haven’t met the lady, but LG knew her. It is only about half a mile away, so that’s cool.

Rmom the “weather” photos are lovely. i just took a quick slideshow view, but will go back for seconds and will comment on individual shots when i do. had i seen skies like that when i drove through the prairies, it would have taken me at least another week to do so. wonderful!

and, now that it’s nearly suppertime, i guess i’d better start thinking about breakfast! bye-bye (for real). back tomorrow.

tired again.

Good evening, tribe.

I get the “virus scan” redirect occasionally, but not as much as when the site first started. I do think they’re working on it. At first, I got redirected to a “dating” site that was more porn that dating. I sent an angry e-mail to them and haven’t seen it since.

Sometimes, I can get out of that “virus scan” one with the back button.

I got the “virus scan” thing about 3 times. since i switched to avg i have had no problems.

Well, we are still under a blizzard warning or something until tomorrow evening, but right now it looks alright. It sounds like we are only getting half the snow predicted. (Even Dry shouldn’t be able to gripe about that!)

Hello Saucy!

head shrinking???

something dad is watching on tv.

boreing people today. lol

Nothing much going on here to speak of. Check back in later…………………………………………………..

Hi Tribe!

Good to see everyone still yapping away.

Digital I met William Shatner in a mall once. He was paying his phone bill. I was in line right behind him.

No autograph though. I was too shy.

I’m not sure what I did, but my page is supersized. Sure makes it easy to see!

I’m still a genius I see. This must be why my marks are good. Who knew it would be this easy?

Well, don’t everyone stop talking at once!

I have a minute to chat, and you disappear! As soon as I go, you will all be back, yapping your heads off. :-(

hey Shika

sorry im on and off

BBL

I’m making sauce for pasta, and then I have a few assignments to do….

its been quite for a while now. its broing.

and shes gone. im always tolate

Hi Tabby! I’m back.

Of course.

This is Mua on my computer chair, on a towel, in case you think he is bigger than he really is.

hey my sis. how are you…

Good Tabby Too much to do, as always.

Hello Shika–Using (ctrl+) or (ctrl-) will zoom your page in or out.

What’s your avatar say?

shika, you have a very pretty kitty. Mua is beautiful

Hi Terry That’s what I thought. I like it this way now.

How are you Terry?

i altered it, it used to say “”HE” but now it says

“She wanted to be a sabord tooth tabby”

Jfri found that comic on day a while back

Thanks Tabby I happen to think he is very special myself.

BB in a sec.

Shika - To “super size” your screen, hold your “Ctrl” button down while scrolling the wheel on your mouse. To shrink, scroll the other direction. I use this tip I learned to read some of those Sunday comics that are too small, and I’ve also found it a helpful way to ignore the ads on the sides of websites, because I can just scroll them out of sight.

Shika also go to the bottome right side and it will say ex. 100% click that and you can make it bigger or smaller.

Slightly under the weather, Shika. But I think it is just a cold.

I know you are busy with school, but how are you otherwise?

GO VIKINGS!!! TOMORROW

Sorry to be redundant. I must have not refreshed as recently as I thought before I offered my “tech tip.” That, or just blame this aging mind…

my body hurts!!

YEAH TABBY! Of course I know why you are rooting for the Vikings but that”s okay!

There’s also another way to zoom the Sunday comics to a bigger size. Most of the sites have a magnify on the right of the strip itself.

dry and hes cute so that helps.

Dry not only bc you are going for them, but bc i hate the saints, hes cute, they are good.

For Doc, here is where the rodent revolution started!

http://news.Yahoo.com/comics/bignate

Yes Tabby, I know you hate the Saints. Tomorrow, so do I!

Terry I’m well thanks. I love what I’m doing, except it’s tiring. My health is good, that’s all that matters.

I hope that you feel better soon.

dry lol i know

okay who am i and what did i do with tabby? im hot i just opened a window bc im swetting. its crazy!

Thanks Rmom! I’ll try that on the ads.

Hey Dry! How’s it going?

Go Saints!

You’re welcome, Shika! It really helps when a site has one of those ads with someone dancing or something moving.

jdoc i so just disowned you with that last post

Sorry, Tabby, I just want to see the better QB win.

jdoc for shame. :/

blah!!!

Johnny, :-P :-P :-P :-P The best QB will win, and if he doesn’t, well the tears will flood your part of the country all the way to the West coast!

Of course, it he wins, you’ll get the same results, LOL!

Dry roflacmbo!!

oh my word lady your crazy!

its okay because your my crazy tribe mom lady! :D love ya girl. and only tears of joy will be shed. and where is my joy?

I have confidence in Brees. He is the man.

is he even playing something about him being on the bench idk i dont remember

Dry did you see i altred my pic?

Tabby, you should know by now that when I believe in something, I am passionate about it! Hence, FHIG!

Dry know you do! and thats a one thing i love about you, and you are a great person!

Yes Tabby, Brees is playing, the only way he rides the bench is if he died. He wants a Superbowl. (I am yelling this next part because I may need a running start) DRY I THINK THE “F” SHOULD BE A “C” FOR CRAZY!!!

:-P

jdoc you best start running and running like your life depends on it bc it does

*Oh Johnny, even YOU admitted how good he is! So

:-P

RUN BOY RUN!

Hey Johnny, seriously, what do you think about the NFL moving the Pro Bowl up to the week before the Super Bowl?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj-xZ-qzmQI

Hi Doc

And just what are you saying Tabby Girl? :-)

Doc you stole you ladys pic

Good Evening Doc & Johnny

utube haiti is holy ground

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-g1uO65qX4

Friends. The woman singing in this clip is a graduate of my college. Her son took the photos in Haiti.

One of my professors from last year was in the quake. He survived, but I don’t know about his family yet.

dry im saying that was terrible timing. and that it goes to jdoc not you!!!

doc i think when she posted on bt a couple of times she used one alot like that one

Doc Tell wildcheetah to read “Pippa”” by Joy Adamson, who wrote the book and movie “Born Free.” It is about a cheetah Joy raised after raising Elsa.

Shika, That was excellent!

Got to go again. I hope you see the video. It will make you cry, so be warned.

okay gettin off for a while i hurt.

bbl

Thanks Terry It’s a keeper. They are in my prayers.

Mine, too!

Tabby Lynn said, about 1 cheer ago

“GO VIKINGS!!! TOMORROW”

Gee, you want them to go that bad? I’m sure the Saints can help them out–of the playoffs…

[quickly ducks out of sight]

Ooops–bell just rang–gotta make like a Shika and fly!

Hi and bye, DocT! (and the rest…)

bmonk, man of the cloth or not, I’m coming after you!

bmonk no worry, my former parish priest and I always joked around. He got transferred after 6 years, the rules here. Sad, because he really added a LOT to our church. And our Bishop has been promoted to Notre Dame.

Are you working tonight, Doc?

watching monster in law

Doc, I’m hoping they give you word on the promo soon. Sorry, I didn’t get back to you sooner. My mother called because she was feeling down.

Well, Doc, I’ll see ya’ when I see then! Have a good night!

okay so i just found out one of my freinds have this thing called fibromyalgia. need to look it up

bye doc

Good Night Doc.

See you in the morning, sir!

going get ana who is on the floor at home sleeping.

Well the wake went well. Very good food, bbq oysters, somebody boned a goose, lox, I am a content man + another persons views of the lake.

Nobody asked me, but I think it is stupid to have the pro bowl before the Super Bowl.

Injuries

Cleo someone died and you’re talking about food and a view of the lake! Cleo, Cleo, Cleo, (shaking head!) :-) I know, best way to handle it, I hate those things! Done it WAY too many times!

Good Evening Cleo.

I agree with you on the Pro Bowl issue, Cleo. I don’t think they will get all the Pro Bowl players that will be playing in the Super Bowl!

I know Doc is working right now, but I’d better post this before I forget, and hope he reads this later. My hubby & I went to Africa for a couple of weeks in 1986. It was a mission trip, to build housing for nurses at a church hospital. But while we were in S. Africa, we went to Kruger Park. It is a wildlife preserve as large as the state of Massachusetts (at least I think that was the state they used for comparision). We had to stay overnight in a sort of oasis - a large fenced in area, surrounded by a moat outside of the fence, so the wild animals wouldn’t come in and eat us. The wild animals were however, on the menu at the restaurant. (Not the endangered ones, of course!) We saw all sorts of wild animals, impala (until we quit calling them out because we saw so many), elephants, lions, monkeys, etc. I’ll have to dig out my photos and scan them. Quite a memorable experience!

CleoI didn’t think to ask you because you weren’there at the time. Forgive me?

And yes Terry, IT IS STUPID! I know they get paid for that, but REALLY, if you have a chance to go to the Super Bowl, really, no brainer in my book!

so dishes are done, and ana is sleeping. now watching house reruns

Back for a moment.

RRMOM thanks for the unexpected hug. That was sweet and very welcome. Because of fibromylagia and other pain problems one of my friends at the Dragon can hurt if you hug her. When she’s hurting bad we give her ‘virtual hugs’. They are just as good because of the good thoughts behind them.

Anyway, I got to bug out. Just got back, it’s almost 11pm, and I had hoped to be home by 9pm, 10pm latest. But playing Super Scrabble will make time fly.

Good Night to all. ((((((TRIBE))))

Dry, let’s say the Vikes & Colts make it to the SB. Between them they have 11 or twelve Pro Bowl players. You think they are going to risk injury and not get to play in the biggest game of the year. I don’t think so! What a joke.

Good Night (((((Quaby))))).

Terry that is what I WAS saying!

I know, I am just reiterating what you had said, Dry.

Well, I am calling it a night. Sick or not I have a customer car to fix after church tomorrow. Got to make some money. Long day in store.

Good Night All

Peace & Love Tribe!

why do i feel like im being used!?

Tabby, by Ana’s mom?

Talk to me girl!

dry lol no not by her that was my idea.

also got nothing!!

working on hw give me a few mins and ill talk to ya

Dry

Tabby

where did you get to?

Good Night all!

Doc I have lots of books on Africa. I love it too.

bmonk I was in a convent all day. Bells rings a lot, don’t they?

Going to fly now.

Make sure you look at the video of Haiti. The music is worth it.

Dry

im here well kind of. doing MY hw right now.

Shika night sis. love ya

i still hurt. worse now then before. turns out my hands hurt even and when i type its worse.

Tabby

Quit typing!

Dry

hi jfri

Backs up your earlier post, huh?

Hi, Tabby!! Cache has “crached” after running his butt off on the beach all day!! We just got home a while ago.

got to cook ana something to eat she hungry bbs

JFri Thanks Bud! And I hope they rethink that DUMB DECISION NEXT YEAR!

Tabbyyes you called it on Ana! LOL!

Well, that was *my* first thought when they announced the change!! Wasn’t sure about the change of venue but it made more sense than changing the date!!!

JFri yeah, really!

JFri, Right now, four of my guys are questionable starters, four of the good ones! Of course, the Vikings have a great team this year, and Brett has pulled them together! Still a kid doing what he loves!

How was your day, Dry? And what did Tabby do to her hand?

im still here shes eatting.

she fell asleep on the floor at her house. i was supposed to get her tonight for church tomorrow morning. well she wakes up tells me she hungry so i warmed up some chicken nuggets and fries shell be up till about 2. so il put on a movie in my bed on my lap top so she can watch till its time for bed. its okay her eatting this late bc i know how she is. she eats around the clock but never alot at a time… well one day yes she ate 3 “fried” eggs back to back.

its raing her now so maybe she will fall asleep faster tonight who knows.

funny she calls my name and says guess what so i say what she says i love you. and smilles.

beautiful day here in Pa, JFri, tmr. WE HAVE A FLOOD WATCH!

Missed something, I think! Didn’t read all the posts, don’t know what Tabby did to her hand! But we’ve “talked” and she didn’t mention it!

Dry and Jfri
