Goodnight Marg!

MMMMMMMMM!! Chocolate pudding!! Thanks, Marg!!!

Good morning and Happy Thursday!! Thanks for the breakfasts. Something doesn’t seem right when I’m the sixth post of the day.

Tabby Lynn - I am just now catching up on the comments and have read of your loss. I offer my sincere condolences and apologize for the inappropriate timing of my joke. The joke has been removed and a message left in its stead if you care to read it.

CARMY and MARG. Could you teach my significant other what breakfast is? I had to make my own pancakes Shrove Tuesday. At least my coffee pot is set on auto.

Morning TRIBE! Tomorrow’s Friday.

Good Morning Tribe

Nice Breakfast Marg. Thank you.

Good Morning Akenta, LuvH8 & Lewreader

Hello everyone,

Rmom - “you can’t put a square peg in a round hole!” was a great story. I hope our children always look for solutions to problems beyond the expected.

Still searching.

Family isn’t always blood related, Pete. But where did Pete get to? Hi Akenta!

I like your new avatar, LuvH8.

Good morning everone.

I liked pschearer’s remark about JAD in Rubes. Made me laugh.

Good morning

((((((((((((((((TRIBE)))))))))))))))))))

I have been frustrated these last few days. I wanted to comment on many strips, but the batteries in my keyboard went dead. I live in a tiny burg with nothing here so I couldn’t drive 20 minutes to town just for a couple of batteries. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGG!!! But it’s ok. I’m not addicted. I’m not. I’m not.

I’ve just spent some of the last couple of days sorting through stuff. I managed to force myself get rid of several bags and a box of stuff. It’s stuff I haven’t even looked at for years, but I’m going through withdrawl pains. I’m sure I’ll need this stuff [whatever it is] someday. HELP!!

Okay that’s enough of that stuff.

Thank you - Lonewolf

BC 13 - Good Morning, I looked up grog is really some kind of alcoholic beverage dating back from around 1740. The weird thing is that I was familiar enough with the word to guess that.

LuvH8 Interesting. I never heard about that.

I’m sorry Serenasakitty, it is hard to get rid of stuff. Even stuff you know you will never use again. Which is why I never tell my grandma when I give away her stuff. She’ll only miss it if she remembers she has it.

Bad Example Bunnyface, No Cookie For You!

Yup, yup. So does that make the name better or worse?

I feel like making inane only marginally related to the strips today. Would that be a Bad Idea?

Good Morning Serena & BC13(again)!

:^)

BC13, I have been over at Rubes this AM. :^)

Lonewolf I just saw it.

Look out for crazyolnick. I think he may have a chip on his shoulder.

Good morning Doctor Toon

Good Morning Doc. I’m in the process of doing my taxes today.

Are you talking about “In The Bleachers”, BC13?

That and BC

Good Morning Doctor Toon - I was feeling mischievious last night! Questions for you at the other day’s Heaven Sent but of course do your taxes first.

Everyone have fun with those!

I think I should sleep before I wake up enough to be a Bad Idea.

I just caught that on BC. too! Oh well, he’s got to live with himself being that way, now doesn’t he?

Lonewolf - Can I play today? Pleeeeeeeeease!

True, I just hope we don’t see another BULLDOG emerge out of this. But I’ll be ready to flag if it ever comes to that stage.

BC 13 I won’t use names. Pleeeeeeeease!

Doctor Toon - I missed most of the other day! Pleeeease!

I hear you BC13, I hear you!

Good thing we’re not addicted Doc. Hardee har har!

Good Morning! Doc, you should use something like Turbo Tax and do your taxes yourself. You can even do your state taxes with it, if your state requires that.

Okay, that several people are too easy! I just make really obvious or oblvious comments. They won’t be too bad.

I want to HAVE FUN!

More Coffee! More Coffee! More Coffee!

I’m disappointed there’s no Red & Rover today. I think I’ll check comics.com.

Lonewolf - How are you today? Does your youngest son still have action figures?

Morning Carmy

”Morning BC13 are you in Texas?

LuvH8–Yes, but they are in boxes in the basement. He has grown out of them pretty much.

Doc, left you a comment at BC.

I was wondering what happened to Red & Rover myself.

Now that everyone is starting to talk about taxes [blaaah] I’m getting scared. I think I’ll crawl back into bed and pull the blanket over my head. I tried to do my own taxes one time. After getting about six different figures, I gave up and now I take all my forms to H&R Block and let them get the headache.

After TWO rants in as nany hours I really need ice cream. Can’t keep up my strenght to follow everybody without ice cream.

Carmy Yes. I live in League City and work in Pasadena.

Good morning, tribe! I haven’t read any comics today, except BT, so I’ve got to make my rounds to see what y’all are talking about. Thanks for the many compliments on my avatar. Some of Mom’s artwork is now posted at my photobucket account.

Last year at Christmas, my oldest nephew Why (10, yes I really call him that) was making fun of his little sister and cousin (both 3) for playing with Barbies. I asked him if he knew what action figures were. He said, ” No Aunt Bliip I don’t know.” So I told him action figures are dolls for boys. He’s all like no they aren’t and looks at his mom. She smiles and says that yes actually they are. Then we all laughed.

That first reaction though, that was priceless.

LuvH8

BC 13 I won’t use names. Pleeeeeeeease! —– I think miny mind is as sharp as a marshmellow this morning. What are you talking about?

See. I can’t even keep track of my spelling. That’s what happens when I don’t have access to ice cream.

Okay enough of that. I’d better get busy sometime today. Little to do and lots of time to do it. Or something. I’ll go before everyone thinks I’m getting silly. [Getting???]

Catch yawl later. [I’m going, I’m going]

I want to go be Outrageous on the strips.

Good Morning Rmom.

BC13, I was pretty sure it was you that was talking about that yesterday. Texas is my home state. I was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley. I have several friends in the Houston/Pasadena area.

Carmy There are few few people here posting from Texas.

I may not be a native Texan, but I got here as quick as I could.

Good Morning all. I don’t know, life under the Big Top doesn’t seem so bad Pete. I like it here.

Doc, the websites that are available for you to do your taxes guide you through every step. They will save your info so if you return the next year to do you taxes there again, most of your info is already there. You just need to update it. I’ve been using the same one I first started with since the late nineties/early 2000s.

Morning All!

BC13, I lived in Texas for the better part of 14 years. In the Killeen/Copperas Cove area.

BC13, I have noticed that there are several people on here from Texas. It doesn’t matter that you weren’t born in Texas, you’re there now.

Morning, Digital Frog

’Morning Cleo and DiFrog!

G’Morning DFrog & Cleo

Okay, things to do ) :

Doctor T or Bunnyface - Can you go explain to me what Bunnyface was saying on Heaven’s in plain simple talking to a marooon language, over there of course. I haven’t a clue.

Bye Now!

I do need to get some things done today. I will catch you all later. P&L All

Lonewolf I just googled it. Near Temple. Were you in the army at the time, stationed at Fort Hood?

Doc, I hear you. I used to use H&R until they finked us out to the feds about the earned income credit that a independent tax preparer in CA figured into our return. We had to give the money back.

BC13, my father’s ancestors were granted land in Mexico by the King of Spain. When Texas came about, some of the land ended up being in Texas along the Rio Grande River.

Doc, most of saw his attack on you. I’m guessing he removed it after seeing our comments about it.

morning Carmy lol not often i am posting right under u in the am.

well off i go. bowling class then furnel may not be on tonight who knows.

tribe moms you know who you are I just want to tell you that I LOVE YOU along with my tribe sis and bro

Carmy I may have heard something to that effect in the movie The Alamo - not specifically your ancestors, but a character in the movie.

Well, I hate to say it, but I gotta run and get some work done. I’ll drop by for a bit around lunch time.

Good Morning (((((((Tabby))))))) you know we love you too, sweetie! BC13, have a good day!

Well, I finally have my coffee and have caught up on the posts, which is getting harder to do lately.

Take care (((Tabby))).

Good Morning, Carmy, Tabby, Cleo, Doc, Digital, BC13, Rmom and Serena

Howdy Dry. How goes the morning in your neck of the woods? It is a sunny morning here, but at 30 degrees, a little cooler than it has been.

Good Morning Dry! Cleo, are you saying that we’re yappy?

Doctor Toon I have added more and would appreciate a response, but it doesn’t have to be today. I would also be interested in what Bunnyface has to say. The questions are ones I’ve had for a while. (well the last two comments are old issues the others not so much because I didn’t know to ask)

Hola Carmy!

Cleo Things are fine in my neck of the woods. It is a pleasant 38 with a light breeze and the great yellow orb is in the sky. Tomorrow it is supposed to get up to 42. Bathing suit weather, LOL!

Good morning all! It is quite a good-looking day out there today. Get rid of the snow and we’d be in business.

Good Morning johnnyd. Just send your snow to BC for the Olympics.

Hi johnny!

If I could Cleo, I would.

@LuvH8, I’m not sure which one you don’t understand. The post about the rites?

I also added a few thoughts on the truth of various groups. Let’s keep that discussion over there, where it’s more appropriate…

hi bunny, yes I agree with you! Keep it over there.

Howdy Mr. bunnyface. How are things in the Dakota tundra?

Cleo, I would poke fun at you for the double post, but it just happened to me 3 minutes ago! :-D

Today is not too bad. I heard that last evening we even had a bit of rain! Fog today, so it’s not so bright. Of course, some people like the sun…

I have been putting off a job here, so instead, I wrapped coins from our stamp box and our snack tray. That’s what you call procrastinating.

Dry I am procrastinating with pruning.

Cleo, I’ll do your pruning for you, if you come here and do this report for me! Deal?

I am almost tempted Dry.

Good morning all.

Carmy, yes, my avatar is a PO1, specifically Electronics Technician First Class. The submarine designator doesn’t show up there, only in the warfare pin that I wear. I was originally a radar tech, then a nuke reactor operator on active duty. When I went to the reserves I wound up doing comms and IT work which is how I wound up over in the desert. The gold chevrons mean I never got caught doing anything bad for 12 years (actually during my entire career). Never made chief, though I went to the chief’s board 13 years in a row. Retired as E-6 with 22.5 years, of which 16 were spent as an E-6.

I don’t mind pruning, but sometimes I do mind running numbers, especially when they come out different 2 times in a row! Third time is the charm, right? I’ll run them again after lunch, maybe then it will work!

Hi Dry, bunnyface, MisngNOLA & Cleo

I’d comment here more often but I think you have to get up at 5AM to not spend an hour toget to the bottom. :)

Thank you Bunnyface and Doctor Toon the other strip does seem more appropriate. Since it was no longer a current posting I wanted to direct your attention over there because I respect your opinions and it seems like a good way to keep out of trouble. (which I need right now). I will not mention it here again, but look forward to our (and others) conversations in the future.

I know what you mean, freeholder1. Speed reading is an asset here.

@Dry, that reminds me of the secretary that had a similar problem adding up columns of numbers. Finally, the boss gave a directive: add each such columns ten times before typing the total.

The next letter was halfway finished when the secretary came in and asked the boss, “OK, I added the numbers ten times, just like you said. Which of these ten numbers should I use?”

Hello MisngNOLA, BC13 and freeholder1

I hate running numbers too. I remember when I used to manage a liquor store when I would put up orders for bars, I made a game out of doing the math in my head, then checking it with a calculator. It wasn’t long until my skills had improved dramatically.

Well I’m adding up close to $200 grand here, but it came out right this time! Now I can mail the forms to the IRS.

Running numbers is in my blood. My Mom, sister and brother are are/were in accounting. They started me on it at a young age, pre-teen I think. MisngNOLA, was your rate overmanned? I ask because that is the case for my husband. He’s a PO2, GSM. He’s had several years of PNA. Next test is next month. Maybe this time?

Doc when it comes to taxes the results are never good.

Carmy I’ve always ran numbers ever since my frist real job. I;m not in banking anymore, but still do a lot of that type of work. I love doing it, but it gets frustrating when you know you’re missing something simple, usually because you’ve worked on it for too long, and need to step awayand go back in later with a clear head!

Hi MisngNOLA!

Good afternoon, tribe. Don’t talk to me about taxes. Ugh!

Wow, 2 hours since the last post. I guess I will go and make bread.

Bread and gravy? (Pickles)

BC13, Earl had me until he added M&Ms. Actually I make a large container of dough and we make a variety of things with it depending on what we are having for dinner, like baguettes, naan, pita bread and pizzas.

How are we today?

My wife just got the oddest email. She was looking for red worms to add to our compost. A woman replied saying that she was looking to get rid of her red worm because she was given a new one and wanted to know if my wife would like a photo. LOL Maybe she keeps it in it’s own little house and has it on a leash.

cleo That’s why my comment was “I think I’m going to be sick” I like M&M’s, but not with gravy.

Your bread sounds good.

I’m calling it a night. When I get home, I’m not even going to turn on my computer, unless I have to and I’m going to relax in front of the TV tonight, put on a disk from the Rockford files. Have some hot dogs and a brew or two and relax.

I know Im going to have to get to my taxes this weekend some time, but not tonight.

Have a good one.

Hello Skika. I am just going out the door to do the garbage and recycling, but plan to keep checking in here. It has been quiet.

Bunnyface I was that secretary! The boss said to put down the average number.

I told him that I couldn’t do that because my numbers were all above average….

Cleo Yum. Fresh bread smells delicious. Make I have a slice?

Take care BC13.

Not as yappy as two days ago, that’s for sure.

Have fun recycling. See Daddy’s Home.

BC13 Bread, gravy and Pickles? Oh yeah. @ Pickles. Ew. Leftover gravy with bread and M & M’s.

cleo I just read about the red worm. LOL I wonder what that lady had. Maybe tongue-in-cheek?

Shika I will send you a warm baguette. The dough is doing it’s first rise at the moment.

Thanks cleo Sounds good. Is that like chin-ups? LOL

I’ll check in periodically.

BBL

Hey Shika and Cleo!

Just checking in. Nothing of import to impart,

Hi celecca How are you?

Doing well - actually going to mean the TGIF tomorrow.

You?

I’m doing well. I’m in school, so TGIF doesn’t mean much to me anymore. Didn’t when I was in retail either- since we worked weekends.

But this week, I’ll be glad, because it’s been a busy week.

I look forward so much to Saturdays. Sundays I get up and do things, but Saturdays? Unless we’re running low on unmentionables, it is MY Sabbath.

cleo You buy underwear only on Saturdays? Why? You don’t wear them.

My Sabbath is whenever I have a free day. Guess that’s never.LOL (Just kidding. It is Sunday for me, but that is a busy day for me now.)

I think you meant celecca and I meant doing laundry! :-}

Many clergy take Mondays off because of all the extra things going on during the weekend…

Shika, underwear???

LOL! I thought that looked funny. Saw the “C”………..

(Puts bag over her head and sneaks out the door.)

Ah, thank you celecca. I did not think I had mentioned underwear, but then again…I’m old.

bmonk That is for clergy. I’m still a lowly student. Monday is one of my busiest days, unless it’s Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and sometimes Saturday.

My Sundays are corporate Sabbath, my Saturdays personal. Time to walk or read or listen or rail. Time to renew.

Hi bunnyface!

Sorry about that cleo I seem to be distracted these days. LOL

Good Afternoon Everyone

Hi Terry. How’s things?

Our Saturdays aren’t busy at church for some reason. We have more going on during the week.

Hey Lonewolf and Cleo

Cleo I believe I’ve seen a photo of you (clad). If so, you don’t look that old! :)

I can’t complain Shika.

Well, I can, but if I want someone to listen, it costs money. LOL

Other than being so busy, how are you doing, Shika?

Yes Terry Listening is a rare commodity these days. It’s pretty expensive to pay for. :-/

Hi Celecca. Good to see you!

Yes ma’am, they charge by the hour, from what I hear. :^)

I had a nice brunch with a friend. Crepes with apples, cheese and bacon, and fresh fruit on the side. Pink grapefruit juice and lots of coffee.

I’m still buzzing from the coffee.

My weekend starts on Wednesday night and ends on Saturday. I set up this semester well, I would say.

*Howdy Lonewolf Boy, I timed my time here well today.

Terry Yep!

I’m about to have dinner. Spaghetti and salad.

BBL

Cleo, funny you should mention a baguette. I am munching on an Asiago Cheese Baguette right now.

Celecca, I’ve been a few steps behind you the last few days.

cleokaya said, 16 incredulities ago

”Shika, underwear???”

Yes, how can you wear underwear without something to wear it under?

Remember: Semper ubi sub ubi.

And today, I keep hitting my “home” icon rather than the “refresh” and my computer is not happy with me. So immediate responses are not immediate this evening.

bmonk, technically, that doesn’t mean anything in Latin.

Shika, those crepes sound divine!

And is that heavenly smell baking bread wafting in from the NW?

I like the avatars Johnny & Celecca.

Neither does non carborundum illegitimi, but it’s a good thing to think when stressed!

Hello Terry.

celecca, where could you have seen a picture of me?

Yes, jdoc, but to a teen student of Latin, “Always where under where,” is pretty funny.

Also the motto of the Food Service manager: “He knows the faith”, fidem scit.” (scit pronounced in the Italian mode, with a soft “sh” sound)

And there’s always the verb “to spit”: spitto, spittere, ac tui, splatus

Cleo, I’ve seen a picture of you too, if that gives you a hint.

Cleo what Lonewolf said.

bmonk You are leading us astray!

Sic, Fido!

bunnyface and johnny

My mom taught me to sing “The Old Gray Mare” in Latin. It was the first thing she learned in HS Latin - which was required in the 50’s.

Are you talking about facebook or our unveiling a year ago?

Do you guys have Cora’s breakfast place down there? That’s where we ate.

I never went far enough in Latin to learn those other two. Thanks Terry, I like the songs on this album too, so that makes it doubly good.

cleo You and LilG unveiled yourselves?

Hi JohnnyDoc!

Cleo Facebook

The spit one was from a story we read once. Don’t remember where the food one came from.

Those songs bring back many memories for me, Johnny.

Hi Shika! Cleo, has it been a year already?

What unveiling? I’ve only been here for 4 months.

http://content.comicskingdom.net/GrinandBearIt/GrinandBearIt.20100218_med.gif

Look familiar?

Shika Nothing comes up wtih the link except a “does not exist” screen

For some a year in March and April, johnnyd, including yourself.

Not so much for me Terry, I wasn’t around when they came out, unfortunately.

http://content.comicskingdom.net/ShermansLagoon/ShermansLagoon.20100218_med.gif

Carmy Is this where you get your jelly fish?

I know Johnny. I can remember having the same type conversations when I was your age.

http://content.comicskingdom.net/ShermansLagoon/ShermansLagoon.20100218_med.gif

How about this?

Wrong one. Check out Grin and Bear It if you can, for today.

Carmy has jellyfish?

Oh, never mind.

I think I’m over my head tonight. Think I’d better just check in later. Have a good time yapping Tribe.

http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/comics?featuredate=2010-02-18&featureid=Shermans_Lagoon

Sorry Carmy. This should work.

http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/comics?featuredate=2010-02-18&featureid=GrinandBear_It

And this should be right for the Tribe.

Sorry Celecca I was reading comics on another site. Carmy was throwing jellyfish one night becasue she didn’t have any snowballs….

You had to be there, I guess. LOL

Bye Celecca. See you later.

Well none of these links work. Sorry!

cleo Where did you go?

I’m leaving now. Must be dinner time in the States.

BBML

Shika, sorry to miss you. I was off doing something else.

Catch you later Shika

Cleo, I’m going to assist Wolfangil with dinner. (Probably just get in her way. LOL)

I’ll catch you a little later.

Actually, dinner sounds like a good idea, so I’m going to go ahead and get me some.

You guys are all at dinner and I am still 2 hours out.

@Shika, for those links, you need to put a backslash () before each underline, or it interprets it as an italics on/off marker. Or else embed the link: do [text] (url), only without the space between ] and (, thus:

[Test] (http://www.gocomics.com/features) (this line still has the space)

Test (now I removed it).

Edit: remove those durn typos.

Good evening, tribe! It’s been a busy day, but nothing worth complaining about. bunnyface - I think I’ve found a motto for myself. “Brevis esse latoro obscurus fio” What do you think?

Speaking of taxes, I’ve got to get around to that task. My hubby was telling someone at work that I figure ours. When the guy said he wouldn’t dare let his wife figure theirs, my hubby pointed out that I used to fight with the IRS when I was still employed, and won everytime. (Documentation & honesty help immensely!)

I wish we could stop mentioning that obscene word … taxes. LOL

Cleo going back to your earlier post about when we had our pics up way back when. That was a hoot! There was me, you, Tabby, Joy, Carmy, JFri, Doc, Marg, Akenta, Johnny, Owlsly, and I think Rad too. I wouldn’t do that now though, too many people. Speaking of Owlsly I hope all is well with him. I miss his crazy wit and his Olde Englysh, remember that?

Hi Dry I miss Owlsley too.

Why doesn’t GoComics bleep Taxes? I think they should!

I’m reading a Theological book on Consumerism. I may never eat beef again. Or buy anything again. It’s horrible what happens before a product hits the shelves.

Looks like I missed people again.

BBL

I agree with that obscene word, Cleo. LOL

Hi, Shika! Just trying to get some food prepared. Also, I’ve got to get my accounting stuff done. (Not taxes, just paying bills, and recording purchases.)

Hi Rmom

Those are some nice pictures.Wolfangil liked the quilts.

Dry I do not remember Rad’s pic, but I might have just missed it. I hope Owlsly is well too, he was going through a very tough time.

I will be disappearing shortly for dinner. You easties are more likely thinking of bed.

Cleo–What kind of exotic dinner are you enjoying tonight?

Terry pasta with dried apricots and spanish chorizo with spagettini and rosemary. And having said that, I am off to dinner.

Sounds delicious Cleo!

Just a quick run through to say hi and bye. I’m on my way to get ready for work so until later.

Hi, Terry! I’ve got several quilts here in my house that I need to spread out and photograph yet. Does Wolfangil know the name of the pattern of the quilt that is shown on the bed? I know Mom told me what it is called, but I don’t remember it. Edit: The rest that are shown that look like quilts are crocheted afghans.

Rmom, I’ll ask her when she gets home. She ran to the store for a bit.

i am home and i am okay doing english hw now. more info later

And I’m back all! Anything to avoid studying…

Johnnydoc5 - When I had to study I would do housework to avoid it, and I would study to avoid housework.

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all having a good evening so far. I am goin to spend some time catching up on what I have missed.

I was reading the other day with Krewd, it was weird the way it was like we were all talking to the same imaginary friend, and that the comments made sense even without his.

Rmom I really like that painting of your Mom’s.

I hope everyone had fun (with taxes) today.

Just stopping to say GOOD NIGHT to everyone.

I try to avoid homework too, but it comes after me.

Peace and Love friends!

I have to go now. Something weird with my computer and things to do.

Lot’s of Luv and Have A Good Night!

Shika’s links, I hope, from about 3 hours back:

http://content.comicskingdom.net/Shermans_Lagoon/Shermans_Lagoon.20100218_med.gif

http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/comics?feature_date=2010-02-18&feature_id=Grin_and_Bear_It

I’m NOT tackling taxes tonight! I’m having enough problems tonight getting things to balance that I do every month. My brain cells aren’t up to more difficult tasks until I’m more rested and less in a hurry.

Dinner was delicious, just waiting for LilG to watch a movie.

Another beautiful day. What can I say, this winter I have lived in Paradise.

@Rmom, “Brevis esse latoro obscurus fio” (When I work to be brief, I become obscure.) reminds me of a Founding Father–don’t recall which one–who wrote in a (lengthy) letter: “I’m sorry that this is so long, but I have not the time to make it brief.” In other words, it’s quicker to be long-winded; it takes time to get things distilled down to the essential.

Howdy bun, now that is an abbreviation that I can embrace. It has texture and crust and is soft in the middle and has good taste, sounds just like you bunnyface.

Okay, um sorry to disappear like that. I didn’t mean to freak anyone out. I do have to go though. Gma wants food, and I need to have the phone line available for the next few hours.

Not to worry, LuvH8, I am never upset when people must come and go without notice. I figure RL is higher priority, and especially crises are likely to happen. Do what you must. Most likely someone will be here if/when you get back.

@cleo, does that make me one bun, while you are two?

[ducks behind circus tent]

I alway like to checkright before I log out. I will be back Bunnyface. I have too many important things/ people I have to take care of to slide into the cave. Thank you.

I have a feeling that the next time that I am in North Dakota will be for the funeral of my aunt or uncle, which is to bad. I love the state, but just have no reason to go there.

Be thankful that I am not hot cross buns.

Yikes, quiet!

bunnyface - I’ve heard that quote (or something similar) attributed to Blaise Pascal. That is me to a T. When I took speech class, I had to write out the whole speech first, then I could write the outline easily. (I speak in random, write in sequential.) But if I wrote an outline first, I’d get writer’s block on how to go from there. Of course, that didn’t make it easy on me trying to teach my sons how to write, since writing comes easily to me. Both my son & I were quite pleased with the B he got in his college essay class! Now he’s taking public speaking, but I don’t think he’s gotten any grades back yet on anything. You wouldn’t believe how many posts, emails, etc. I’ve written, then read back over before it goes into cyberspace, and I deleted half or more of what I wrote. Too bad I can’t do that for my oral communications!

Three exams in one day just won’t be cool. I realize that every time I think about the upcoming week. Simple solution, don’t think about next week, yet.

johnny - Yikes! I always had to work full time, which meant I could only go part time when I went to college, so didn’t have that problem.

I’ve got to head off to bed. Busy day tomorrow. Good night!

Apparently, all my professors got together and decided that the Wednesday before Spring Break was the best day to have all the exams.

Rmom

Wolfangil said the quilt on the bed is a fan quilt. She believes it is called a “Mohawk Trail” design. The pattern was first published during the depression era.
