Good morning, LW18, Dry, Lonewolf, marg & Carmy

HI, MARG!!!

Marg, your order is coming up. You’re welcome!

I never made it to the big enough hills to even need a chair lift.

Good Morning Grog.

Have a wonderful day Tribe.

Things are appearing and disappearing here me thinks. Must be my ‘puter?!

Hi, Dry, Carmy & Grog!

Good Morning Dry, Marg, Grog, JFri and Johnny!

I don’t think it’s an experience that Wink would like to remember.

Hi JFri & Johnny

Hi MARG, CARMY, JFRI, JOHNNY AND FELLOW BABY!

Hi, Johnny.

Think it might be time to head to bed… almost at a decent hour, and quite early for a Friday. I am living on the edge! Good night all!

G’Night, Johnny

Goodnight Johnny!

HI JFRI!!

‘Morning Grog, Johnny, Carmy, and Dry!!!

And good night!

Goodnight Marg!

Ann Margrock and John Forsythe are now on TCM. Kitten With a Whip. As good as this is looking, I doubt I’ll be lasting through it.

Grog, no Cary Granite?

Not in this one Carmy. But I plan on watching His Girl Friday some time tomorrow.

I’m headed out to here before long, Grog. Good Night, sir! Catch you after the sun rises!

Good Night Everyone!

P&L

Hello Everyone!

Lonewolf ~ I have teenagers here! Need Nuclear Coffee!!! They are loud and boisterous tonight.

Kitten With A Whip? ~ Grog that sounds like TMI not TCM.

It seems I am always just missing people. I guess I will help myself to the coffee. I have brownies, still warm from the oven. I’ll just leave some here so people may help themselves.

Gunite, Everyone. Shika may have posted it first, but I planned on doing it without telling anyone first.

Goodnight Grog!

*Morning, LuvH8 . I don’t get the TMI channel.

SNORT!

Gunite again!

LONEWOLF You are an inspiration! Because of you, I left the Bisquick, milk, eggs, bowls and fry pan on the stove for my beloved to find upon waking. I’ll take a nuc coffee for now as I anticipate some running soon.

Morning TRIBE! The world is mud-luscious and puddle wonderful

Good Morning Tribe

Hello Doc & Lewreader

*Good Morning, Doctor Toon, Lewreader & Lonewolf

Good Morning Grog

Their is snow everywhere except on the concrete. Good sign if it doesn’t stick there. Temp is right at 32 so not basd there either.

What is this snow you all speak of?

Morning, LuvH8!!!

Good Morning LuvH8!

Finally, the same time!

How are doing, LuvH8? ;^)

I am still just waking up. It’s supposed to be nice out today. And yes, finally at the same time. We seem to just miss each other a lot.

Good Morning Everyone!

Hello Doc, Grog & Lonewolf

I H8 when my comment disappears!

Doc ~ You might be interested in the last post on FHS, also I asked a question in my last post that I would like your answer on if you don’t mind.

Well you did get here really early for a Saturday, Doc. Are we supposed to be fun this morning?

Good morning everyone. Snow hit here before midnight. still snowing but melting on the streets. Good day to get work at home done and watch tapes on TV. Yes I said tapes like VHS. My mom doesn’t have modern equipment and I don’t want to teach her to go DVD. Forecast shows we might get 4.1” of snow worst will be further southeast. Also OK is getting hit harder. Sunday the sun will be out here and warm up. Sorry I don’t post breakfast mine is too lite for menu.

Good Morning Kab2rb!

Good to see you!

Kab2rb, I saw on the weather map about that area getting hit hard!

Doctor Toon, It was a bit of a surprise to see you up that early. You awake now, LuvH8? Good Morning kab2rb. If you’ve got an extensive tape collection, it could be very expensive to upgrade. Yet I slowly keep trying.

Good Morning Kab2rb!

70 and SUNNY!!!!!!! Na~na~na!!!!

I have videos!

I don’t know about these blue ray things. Way much money and they made the pictures sharper than real life. You have to be like 20 feet away from the screen to be able to focus easily. What’s the point?

Partly cloudy & 76 here, yesterday, but this is going to be a rain day, with a cold front passing through. By the time I get back to work on Tuesday, it’ll be back into the 70’s again. Go figure.

Alright! Quit bragging LuvH8! I happy for yous! LOL

Good Morning All. Thank you for breakfast Terry. For now I am just going to have a large mug of *Doc’s coffee.

Lonewolf, I love rubbing it in to my snow-weary friends back home. Their response is typical: U, FO!

Good Morning to you, Cleo!

Good morning, cleo!

Doc, that’s the same story here. Up in the 40s tomorrow and into the 50s on Monday.

Grog, I like the weather where you are at, but I also have a problem with missing the snow when I don’t see it. I will be spending a considerable amount of time in the Panhandle when we migrate to Texas!

I’ve got to get ready to go get my hair cut. It is beginning to curl in the back. LOL I’ll be back on before I head out to pool league. :^)

Good Morning Cleo! How is your weather today? (la~la~la~~la~la)

Good Morning Doc, Terry & Grog. It is shaping up to be another sunny, glorious day in the PNW.

Good Morning LuvH8. Since I am farther north, my day will not be as warm as yours, but it is going to be pretty great.

Bye Lonewolf

Time for a new mouse, that last comment appeared 4 times. It gets old having to delete messages.

Yes, I would say it is time for a new mouse Cleo.

Lonewolf, I’ve been to the panhandle a number of times on business, around the Amarillo, Pampa, TX area. I’ve heard that area being described as the armpit of Texas. I am forced to agree with the area’s detractors.

Doc my wife cuts my hair too. The first time that she cut my hair she finished and asked me to take a look in the mirror. I noticed one spot on the top of my head that needed to be trimmed more. She had forgotten that she had removed the guard on the razor that sets the height that one wishes to cut the hair to. She took a swipe down top of my head and I noticed a look of horror upon her face. Suddenly it dawned on me that she had shaved a path right across the top of my head, a reverse mohawk, if you will. What got me is she said, “It doesn’t look to bad.” Right, like I was going to live with a bare patch until it grew in. I had to have her shave my entire head. LOL

What is gray hair? I have 2 white hairs, does that qualify me? I am not getting my hair cut short!!!!!

Luv8 your getting closer to a/c weather. By late April/May we will be heading to 70’s weather. By the way for my Rt shoulder I have checked on line. I will be seeing a hand specialist 4-5 who also works with upper exterminties and he doesn’t mess around. He does surgery too. I can’t miss to much from work. I will get more info from Dr. when I see him. For VHS tapes when you tape repeatedly tapes wear out and doesn’t cost that much to replace. Only tape when needed.

Leaving for the haircut, but back for a quick minute.

Grog, the only reason I would go to the Panhandle is for the snow. I agree with the area in general. Although Amarillo is alright if you are visiting the historic sights.

Doc, in case I miss you, Have a Good Evening and I’ll see you in the AM. My pool leagues are usually late on Saturday. (P.S. I’m lucky with the gray so far.)

Well, I better get moving & get some errands done before the T-storms arrive.

Catch y’all later.

Bye Grog, I need to wake the teens soon. Where did I leave the spray bottle?

Kab2rb ~ Good luck with your shoulder.

Doc ~ Enjoy your snow! Build a snowman!

Hi Doc, Cleo, and Fellow Baby! Would you believe I just got up about 15 mins ago, and it is a BEAUTIFUL DAY! Where’s my rake? I need my rake! And my garden shovel, where’s my garden shovel? :-D

Good Morning, Fellowbaby! BBS

Good Bye Everyone!

Back again! So nice having the haircut place so close.

Geez, I guess everybody is off for their Saturday adventures.

I knew I’d get back right after you left, Doc. Sleep well, my friend!

Good morning Tribe

It’s a beautiful day here in the armpit of the universe, makes it almost nice here.

I’ve got 13 pairs of earrings I need to put the hooks on, my eyes hurt already.

Lunch will be rolling into the BT about noonish. Tipala with a herb and garlic marinade, tomato flavored type of Rice-A-Roni ripoff and maybe some beets if I feel like messing with them. Right now It’s com see, com sah.

My kitty kat woke me up this morning hacking on the blanket. Had to turn on the light, see to the cat, get the blanket off, find the other blanket and try to get back to sleep. Didn’t work. Sigh

Poor Stormy’s hanging in. She’s so skinny and has chewed off a lot of her hair. But she still eats a little, begs for my lap and doesn’t seem to be in pain. She jumps and walks on everything on my desk just like she did a year ago. I didn’t have money to take her to the vet in the fall (and if it wasn’t for insurance we wouldn’t be able to afford our medicines or doctor trips either). Now I’m hesitant to take her because she looks like a case of willful neglect i/o broke owners.

Goodness what a rambling post. Sorry about that guys. Guess that what happens when I type in a doze.

good bye LuvH8 and Doc. Hello Dry, planning a little yard work, are you?

Oh yes Cleo!

Hi Quaby!

Hello, Quaby.

Quaby, never worry. We all ramble from time to time! LOL

So what garden activity do you have in mind for the day Dry?

Cleo rake some leaves, plant my little side garden with spring onions, radishes, lettuce, and perhaps spinach if I get out to get some spinach seed. I doubt Ihave any leftover seed. Once I start working in the soil, that’s where I’ll stay! I mainly want to get my onions in, I love those things!

I love onions too.

I’m back and just in time. It just started raining on my last leg.

Dry, I just picked up some Inglehoffer at my local liquor store. I didn’t see any horseraddish though. I don’t think people are big on horseraddish in this town.

Hello, Quaby!

Hey there, Grog. I’m here for a bit. Need to leave in about 20 min. What is Inglehoffer?

Cleo do you plant the spring onions? Oh that reminds me, I also need to check my asparagus bed!

Grog the Inglehoffer I was referring to is Hot Mustard. Your liquor store sells mustard? LOL!

It’s a mustard, stone ground. Dry was talking about it last night. I decided to try it when I saw it on the food section shelvess.

It’s surprising that a place that sells, both, Mary and Caesar mixes, a variety of mustards etc, does not have horsraddish.

I like to put that style of mustard on my deli-like whopper sandwiches when I have them. That’s rare for me because it’s like jumping aboard the S.S. Cholesterol.

Grog Did you look in the deli section or the milk and cheese section?

The S. S. Cholesterol must be a crowed ship, eh mate?

Dry, the liquor store chains in the Houston and Dallas areas have a sort of gourmet food section. Heck, they even sell chocolate!

On my last trip I picked up some southern style crab cakes there.

I didn’t see any hot mustard there, but then I prepare my own from the McCormick’s dry mustard. I don’t add much water to it so it’s nice & thick and hot.

Dry, oddly enough, the store that appears to have a little of every thing doesn’t have a dairy section. So, no milk & no fine cheeses.

Grog, I’ll catch you later tonight or in the AM. I’m off to pool. Take it easy.

Have fun All! P&L

Very crowded, Loneowolf. Just talking about it makes me want to go out & get some pastrami, corned beef etc. No baloney!

Have fun, Lonewolf.

Dry I am not sure if we are going to plant onions this year or not. Grog, I had forgotten about it but when I visited my cousin in Houston we stopped at a liquor store and saw the various little food items that they also handled.

Grog, Yes I forget different states have different liquor store systems. Some states sell the beer and liguor and wine in the grocery stores. That makes it nice because you can do it all in one trip! What do you add to the dry mustard to make it hot?

OH, NO!! Grog!! You’re on your last leg??

MEDIC!!!

cleo, they appear to handle some of the brand names you don’t see at your grocer. Some of the stuff, like the liquor filled chocolates are not cheap.

Howdy Jfri!

Dry, I don’t need to add anything. ——————————— JFri

SNORT!!!

Keep the medics away from me, otherwise I won’t have a leg to stand on!!!

Hello Dry, Cleo, Grog and JFri!

Afternoon (for me anyway), Carmy

68F, fair and and mostly sunny in FL.

Hi Carmy!

I keep forgetting you’re in FL, Carmy.. That makes for a late night when you’re waiting for the change-over of comics.

Grog that mustard must not be very hot then! Snerk!

The more water you add, the milder it gets. Strange but true.

I was looking at the current temps across the US. It doesn’t look like Spring for most of the country. Parts of CA, TX and The East side seem to be enjoying the Spring though.

I’m also not crazy about soupy mustard.

Hello Carmy & JFri. Have you got the sunshine JFri?

Grog, I’m often up late because I usually take a nice long nap in the afternoon. I’m trying to get my sleeping time together instead of in shifts, but it’s hard.

I didn’t see any sunshine for the PNW on the weather map.

I might have to try that this afternoon, Carmy. I don’t think I can work that in during the work week though. Pity!

Grog, since I don’t have a job outside of the home, it was easy to fall into my current sleep schedule.

Good afternoon/morning all! Looks like the really nice weather is over with, and March is kicking back in. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. Sorry to post and run, but now I have to get to work. I’ll be back when I’m back.

Hi and Bye Johnny!

Hi & bye. Johnny

Johnny, Ditto! :-)

Hi all, I’m really late for breakfast. Is there anything left?

Good Morning!

Grog Do you make your hot mustard with dry mustard powder and vinegar? That’s how we made it. Boy, is it hot!

I’m getting ready to bake and stuff. That is, to bake and to do other things. So I will be scarce.

Not that it’s different from any other day. Just a different schedule for the day.

Hi Johnny! Sorry I missed you. March is back here too. Still mild, but the sun has gone hiding.

HI DRY! DOC! CARMY! CLEO! JFRI AND MARG!

And the rest!

Where’s my Tabby?

Looks like I missed everyone. Have a great Saturday guys.

Shika hello. I just arrived, have I missed you?

Hi, Shika!

cleo, left to do some mowing, etc. We have sunshine but it is NOT 70 out!

JFri, you wanna mow our lawn over here in FL? I’ll make you some lemonade.

Only if you serve it in short shorts! ;-)

LMBO! Oh no! Now I have no booty to fill my shorts!

That’s better than too much!!

I did my mowing a couple of days ago.

JFri, if you say so!

Cleo, were you clothed?

When I did the yard work at our house in South Texas, I wore my bikini top and some cutoff jean shorts. I figured I could work on my tan at the same time.

That works for me!

*Well it IS 70 HERE! I speaka de truth! Taking a break for a few minutes. Hi Carmy, Cleo, JFri! See you sometime Shika girl!

Oh no! I don’t even want to tell how many years ago that was!

Hola Dry! It’s 66F here now, still sunny though. I’m tired, time for a snooze. I’ll catch up with you later!

Here in KS its cold here but warmed up enough for the snow to melt on the streets. Snow fall didn’t last that long here thank fully. I haven’t even thought about mowing or a tan. But with my body type I would scare people off. Have a great Sat. all. Its middle pm here.

THE OUTDOOR REPORT!

Happy vernal equinox!

I know, I know, it’s been years since we’ve had an outdoor report, but anyway, here we go.

The weather is fine today, with N,NW winds at around 7 mph. Thanks to Carmy and Bikesmith John, your humble correspondent was able to ride her bike 10.50 miles today, and observe nature. Lizards are appearing here and there on sun warmed walls, and the finches are starting to sport their mating plummage. The neighborhood road runner has been busy searching for meals. They eat small birds and lizards and snakes. The Chinese ring necked doves are out in abundance, but unfortunately, they’ve driven away the smaller mourning doves. There are no squirrels around here, but the Abert’s squirrels abound in the pine forests. The Verde River has been flowing as high as 2000 cfs, and has claimed a life this past week. The annual Verde Canoe Challenge is the 27th, and I’m wondering if they may have to cancel it this year due to dangerous conditions. Your humble correspondent did not enter this year, I regret to say. It’s always been a great time.

Hoping you all are enjoying your first day of Spring!

Hey Marg! Thanks for the update! 70’s here, spring onion planting time! Woo Who! Certainly am enjoying this first day of spring! Catch up with you later, our roving correspondent!

Of course I missed you all!

I’ll be back though, never fear, Shika is here.

My date loaf smells heavenly!

Marg The first day of spring here is not as nice as the last week of winter. But, what’s in a date after all?

(My dates are in a loaf. Can you tell what’s on my mind? Sniff, sniff, mmmm….)

Shika’s loafing!!!! SNNNNKKKKKK

Marg, last week in SoCal we saw tons of lizards! They were everywhere! Thanks for the Outdoor Update!!

JFri

:-P :-P :-P

How do you I am not Dating??

Oh, who am I kidding? Your right. I’m loafing!

;-D

Doc I’m sorry I missed you. Have a good night.

Hi everyone! Sounds like you all had a good day.

Jfri What part of SoCal were you in.?

Anybody here getting ready for Spring cleaning?

Hello Shika & LW18. Goodnight, Doctor Toon

Hi Grog.

Looks like a quiet night….so far.

Sure does feel like it.

Any good movies on tonight?

Hello all, I just got back from town. We bought seeds for veggies and also helped LilG’s son put his stuff in storage as he moves from Montana to Alaska. He has no address yet so storage in WA is where his stuff shall remain until he does.

Good to see you cleo.

You’re going to miss LilG’s son aren’t you?

Hey Cleo, my man! How ya’ doin”? Got some of my garden dug and 65 onion sets out, and my radishes, got side tracked finding other things that needed done, so I never did get my lettuce and spinach in. I’m sure you know how that goes!

I know a few people in Alaska.

Hi, cleo. Edmonton was as far north as I was willing to go. Winters could be a downer that far north with the eternal darkness.

LW18, right now I am watching Are You Being Served? I’ll check out what’s on the tube after I’m done with that.

I got to go cook dinner.

Question: If I were to post first again and decided to fix you all breakfast. Would anybody try it?

Good for you Dry. I am sure LilG will have me out there doing the same thing in a day or two.

I like Edmonton, I have a cousin that has a home there. I spent my summers in Hay Lakes, near Camrose, every year up until I was 17.

I should have said on a farm 3 miles from Hay Lakes, between Hay Lakes and New Serepta. My grandfather’s homestead is on the north shore of Lake Michelon.

Ladywolf, I’ll try anything once, if I thought it wasn’t death-defying or beyond good taste.

Hey, Fellow Baby! I didn’t see you sneak in.

WELL THEN FELLOW BABY

PAY ATTENTION! YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE! TRUST ME!

Cleo it was GREAT getting my hands in the soil again! And every year I say I’m going to cut down on the size of my garden, and I never do! LOL!

Dry I am glad that you had fun in your garden. I guess that I am going to have to learn to love it, now that LilG has started working again. Sigh!

Cleo there is nothing like the quiet and solitude of being in a garden, at least for me. I learned how to garden from my dad when I was a teenager. He had 3 big gardens. And from my mom, I learned how to can and freeze. I still freeze, but gave up canning when I had my kids. It is a LOT of work! And takes a LOT of time. I would like to go back to making my own sauerkraut though, but doubt that I will! And I have found a way to cook and freeze my hot peppers so I won’t can them anymore either.

Dry we can pickles, both cucumber and green bean. A friend canned some pickled beets for me this year, as I am the only one that likes them. I love sauerkraut, but I want mine with caraway seeds, it makes sauerkraut special.

We bought some of our seeds today and will be starting cucumbers, onions, asparagus and I am forgetting some. Oh well.

Time to throw some fresh Blau oysters onto the grill.

Look at you farmers. All I can grow is some houseplants and I get those easy to care for ones. Oh, I left the hanging ones out on the porch and they froze. Yes, I am a plant killer. Grog, did you take a nap? I did, for about 5 hours.

Yea Marg! Congrats on the bike ride!

Hi Carmy, you plant killer you!!

Carmy, if I had napped like you did, I would have shot my whole day. As it was, I slept through most of Stalag 17. Woke up just in time for the end. And then to house work I went.

Cleo I used to can pickles, BK, I made some good ones. I still sometimes do freezer pickles, They are good as a relish with meats. And yes, Caraway makes sauerkraut EXTRA special, I didn’t put them in when I canned them, but addied them when I cooked the kraut. And I used to make my own red beets too, again a lot of work, but worth it, BK. I have found some very good store bought, which I now buy.

BOO!

Did I scare you all? 2-0 end of the first!

Cleo, Oh, and I came across Dilly beans “on accident”! Loved them and now make my own, small batches at a time, I steam the green beans, only use fresh, for a few minutes so as not to lose the crispness and make a vineger, dill mixture, refrigerate for 24 hours and eat. YUMMY! I sometimes have them at work at my breakfast meal around ten. You wouldn’t believe what I call my breakfast on days I don’t eat cereal! My friends/co-workers laugh at me sometimes! And steal it off me when I’m not looking! LOL!

Dry, I made sure that pickled beets were on my list yesterday. I just finished having some.

That mustard I bought may not have been hot, but it easily wins a taste test over regular yellow mustard. I tired some on my corned beef tonight and it was excellent. That stuff would be great on deli sandwiches.

JFri. you’ll have to shout a little louder to scare me.

Dry, I didn’t kill the poor plants on purpose. I just forgot about them. Grog, I’ve had longer naps. It’s not me, it’s the meds.

BBL, now I have to scrounge for some food.

JFRi Turd! You ALWAYS scare me! ROFLMAO!! Two quarters to go! I’m hanging in there with you, bud!

Grog Corned beef, pastrami, hard salami, all the stuff we shouldn’t eat, but OH SO heavenly tasting, and with hot mustard, well, what can I say?

Well, Carmy, that does make a difference. I was glad to fall asleep as quickly as I did and still have some afternoon left to get some things done.

Dry almost any good mustard would be preferable to French’s. It’s like the Kraft singles of cheese. I like hot mustard, but give me a mustard with some distinctive flavor and I’d be happy with that.

Ladywolf I usually log in about the time the locusts have left and I scrounge crumbs. As usual there are Krispy Kreams in the cupboard for tomorrow morning.

I got to boogie. Have a good evening.

Grog yes but sometimes a grilled cheese, even witrh the Kraft singles and French’s mustard, dipped in hot tomato soup, especially on a cold winter’s day, is pretty bleeep good! IMHO!

Dry, Grilled cheese and tomato soup was a staple of my Mom’s diet, but since I departed from her roof, those things have never touched these sweet lips. Mac & cheese is also a thing of the very distant past. She also liked to bombard me with PB&J sandwitches. I love peanuts, but not peanut butter. Though I like my hot mustard to come close to peanut butter consistency.

Just to explain that, as a kid I was forced to eat things because she liked them. She was a very finickly eater. After I managed to escape her influece, there was a whole world of dishes I had never even tried at home or restaurants.

I found a couple of slices of pizza. I’m good.

Grog I love mac and cheese with Rotel’s tomatoes and chili peppers! Good eatin’ and good comfort food!

Grog I just love food, for the most part! LOL!

Toot!

Oh you mean like a steamboat.

Dry chile peppers would have “kicked up” my Mom’s Mac & cheese considerably. 99% of the stuff she saw on cooking shows in her day she would not have tried for numerous reasons. I’m glad that my taste buds wanted a little more gusto out of life.

I’m bored! at the moment. Raise the drawbridge. I’m a coming through.

Toot, toot!

Grog I love to try new foods and new restaurants, if they aren’t good, I don’t go back. I like to try new recipes also. I have so many cookbooks I don’t even use. Don’t know why I bought them, I guess it was a whim at the moment!

Grog, that’s very good that you were able to not fall in the grind of the same old stuff. You desired better and you went for it!

TABBY IS STILL ALIVE, JUST BUSY

Hi Tabby!

Tabby Lynn I hope that your Spring Break was good, if you had one yet.

HEY TABBY!

Carmy, I’m glad I didn’t either. Admitedly there are things I won’t eat, but the things I will eat far outweigh them. The opposite was true for my mother.

With very few exceptions, I will either not eat what I ate in childhood or not eat them the way my mother prepared them.

It looks like Peter O’Toole Night on TCM. I’m afraid I’ll have to look for something else.

Hi Tabby

HELLO CARMY, DRY, AND GROG

im making some list right now so im on and off. kind of. these list are going to be very important parts of my life. lol

Grog, my Mom is a very good cook, but when I was growing up she had a full time job, so she didn’t cook very often. When she did cook though, YUM!! I do make some of the things she used to make because it’s good Mexican food.

Carmy I know that dog! lol

I am willing to bet you are a wonderful cook. :D

Grog, is that how TCM works. They dedicate a night (or day) to a certain actor?

4-2 end of 2!

Carmy, my Mom was a full-time homemaker. Every vegetable had the goodness boiled right out of them and all meat was cooked to the point of shoe leather.

I’d say my Mom’s style was a very bland variation of Irish/English fare, but even that does have flavor. Just go to an English or Irish Pub.

what does one need to take/ buy????

Carmy, there are times they do that. Which is great if they hit on any of my favorites. I can’t say O’Toole meets the criteria

okay im going to bed. night all see you when i see you

Dry finishe it for me. :D

* I will Girl! “NOT IF I SEE YOU FIRST!* GOODNIGHT SWEET TABBY GIRL!

JFri! them hawks are somethin’ huh? WOO! WOO!

DD&D is on. I’m good for about an hour!

Laa-tee taa-taa!

Laa-tee-taa-taa???

I wish I could do Guy’s job! Man, talk about getting paid to do a job you love!.

Uh huh! Grog I ran out of things to say at the moment.

I’m feeling pretty good. I know that I should be tired, but I’m not.

A first, no doubt :-D

I know what I want………………

I want …………………

To go……………………..

To Disneyland!

I know what you mean. I’ve got my second wind.

I said that about three ….ago.

I feel very hyper today.

Grog, are there any good O’Toole movies. I can’t think of any.

Everybody go to bed already !

Grog why aren’t you watching your movie? You are one of the biggest movie fans I’ve seen in awhile, and I thought I was bad! LOL!

I missed Tabby! Good Night Sweet Tabby!

I want to visit the old man on the mountain. ”What is your words of wisdom, ol’ wise one?”

You got me stumped, Carmy. When I was growing up, it seemed like you couldn’t turn on the TV without seeing an O’Toole movie. I’m glad for the occasional Bond film thrown in.

Grog, ha ha. My husband is watching a Bond movie right now. It’s the one with Halle Berry.

Dry, I will not watch Peter O’Toole. That’s what’s on TCM now. Instead I’m getting hungry again, watching DD&D.

Carmy, I’ve got all the early Bond movies on DVD. I unloaded everything else after Moonraker

DD&D is doing something on a place that makes CB&C! in this segment.

Grog, my favorite henchman from the all the Bond movies will always be Jaws!

Grog, see if you can pick up some tips for the CB&C! Not that yours needs help, but sometimes it’s nice to try new ways.

Carmy, That’s why I kept The Fly Who Bugged Me

Great and I’m stuck watching some Michael Douglas movie on AMC right now.

Carmy!

TABBY!!

DRY!!

DID I WAKE YOU YET? Huh? Huh?

Hi Grog!

Shika!

I didn’t see anything special, other than the fat is what adds the flavor, Carmy. No real biggy there. I knew that. But when it comes to eating it, it’s best to limit the fat intake. As it is you’ll be climbing aboard the S.S. Cholesterol.

Grog, you lost me, what is The Fly Who Bugged Me?

Grog I remember MAD MAGAZINE doing a take off on James Bond movies- it was hilarious. (I’m dating myself here.) Jaws was using ski cables or something as floss. LOL

Hi, SHIKA

And I can’t say that loud enough!

Hey, they just played London Calling by the Clash on the Bond movie.

I love food.

Period.

ARE YOU TRYING TO WAKE ME NOW?

Mua is playing with my boots again. He sleeps with them like they are his teddy bear or something.

Carmy, can I fix you some food? What do you fell like tonight?

Grog, don’t me me sail on the S.S. Cholesterol! Shika, how are you doing?

Shika, my remark was from The Cannonball Run when Roger Moore (playing himself) referred to The Spy Who Loved Me as The Fly Who Bugged Me

I did read som Madd in my younder days but I never was truly hooked on it.

HI SHIKA

Grog and Carmy there was a good movie with Peter O’Toole, but I foget the name of it, Something with a submarine. Now I liked that movie! But what was the name of it, LOL!

Shika, no thank you, dear. I had some cardboard pizza and some Chips Ahoy. Mua just digs your boots!

Carmy, “me me??????”

I’m going back to the hockey game.

For some reason, I got hooked on it in ahem the 1970’s. I still have a couple left. I haven’t bought any since.

My best friend’s dad, who was our doctor got me started on them. Weird sense of humour. I still love the one book called “Talking Stamps”.

Small things amuse….you know.

Grog, I did see Cannonball Run, but I couldn’t recall that comment. I used to read MAD many years ago too.

Hi dry! Good to see you.

LW18, for some reason, I just noticed your avatar. I like it.

Carmy Puss in boots is Mua. “Digs” isn’t the word for it. “Is obssessed by” is more like it.

Sigh. I guess he loves me too.

I’m about to disappear. You still hare Dry and Carmy?

Grog?

Grog, yes, not me me, just me. Can you dig it?

Carmy, you don’t recall the Fly Who Bugged Me Line?? He said it while talking to his Mother.

Wow, yappy nuts, will I ever catch up. We have had two power outages today as well, which slows things up.

Grog, my memory isn’t as good as yours. Besides, I got James Bond blowing up stuff here, left and right.

I thought that this avatar would be perfect for Spring.

I’m still hare, Shika

As I try to catch up, Dry dilly beans is what we make as well.

Grog, thank you!

Hey cleo! How are you?

OK Carmy For a second, I thought you were watching Drew Carey

Hola Cleo!

I’m about to say good night. Any last words?

Shika, have a good sleep and a great day tomorrow. Are you sure you can’t stay for the turnover?

What are Dilly beans?

There. I’ve said my last words.

Pathetic, isn’t it?

Any last words!

Yeah! Sleep well Shikamoo.

Good Night!

(Wait- cleo will say something now)

Hello Shika & Carmy. Nice to have you both on when I am.

Carmy, my memory is slowly starting to fade. In time, we may be on a level playing field.

Thank you.

When is the the turnover Carmy?

You are right Shika. I did say something. Hello sweetie!

Famous last works, Shika

Move over cleo We are sitting on the coach with you.

Shika, dilly beans are spicy pickled beans.

They are famous. Is this a trick to get me to make breakfast?

Shika, just saw some of the comments, YES SMALL THINGS amuse me as well!

Must be Southern, is it?

Anyone here know Jerry Smith BTW? Or heard of him?

Grog, I used to watch Drew Carey! Mimi was a riot! You know, I really did like the original Q, but John Cleese does a good job.

Nooooooooooooooo, not you, Shika. We would never think of it.

I love John Cleese.

Shika, turnover in about 3 minutes!

Cleo I LOVE DILLY BEANS!

Cleese is a riot.

We want a Shika breakfast.

So- time for bed Carmy? :-)

Grog are you still hare? Snerk!

cleo You have no idea what you are saying.

John Cleese is a genius! Love him.

Dry, I love pickles in general. Fish, beats, cucumbers, watermelon rind. You name it.

DRY Do you like Dilly Beans?
