Good Evening Lonewolf

May I have 4 country fried steaks - plain and raw, a dozen scrambled eggs and a bowl of white milk with two beers?

May I also have a country fried steak with 2 scrambled eggs & a glass of tomato juice?

Buon Giorno, LuvH8.

Your orders are on their way. I hope you two enjoy the meal!

Hello TRIBE & Big Sister

I’ll take the hashbrown cassaole and my usual orange juice

Careful Wink! don’t go doing mean things like that, or you’ll get found out.

Good Evening Little Sister!

Thank you Lonewolf, it is really nice of you to cook for us. Do you really think Lewreader would feed Kitty to his cat?? That wouldn’t be very nice.

Good morning Spammer. Do you like my flag? I’m waving it just for you.

I think that Kitty has the advantage Big Sister. Big cats are highly intelligent and patient enough to out smart anything that they consider prey.

What kind of cat does Lewreader have?

Buon Giorno, Ladywolf. Your order is up and waiting. Enjoy!

Can’t Kitty take care of the spammers, LuvH8?

I’m not sure, but he implied it could eat Kitty. Kitty is pretty nice, but he might not be if attacked. I think it is a typical housecat though. Kitty would be a lot bigger and have stronger jaws, and bigger claws.

Lewreader’s description of his cat didn’t exactly sound passive either!

I’m afraid that spammers multiply like rabbits, ♠Lonewolf♠. If Kitty kills ones then two more just pops up and takes it’s place. and this kind of spam may give Kitty a bad stomach ache.

Lonewolf Kitty doesn’t like spammers, but there blood is toxic. You wouldn’t want Kitty to die just to kill one spammer?

Of course not, LuvH8.

Yeah, but hasn’t Lewreader said his cat is fat and lazy? I think he is just making stuff up so he doesn’t have to take care of Kitty. Of course if they don’t electricute me, chop off my head and then make me walk the plank that wouldn’t be a problem. How do you walk off the plank without a head?

I love Kitty and think that it would make a great playing companion to my little chihuahua Chica.

My Chica is only one years old so you know that it is not a threat to Kitty.

The two Aliens that were on the Wednesday Birdbrains comic strip kind of reminded me of Beavis and Butthead.

No, Ladywolf, don’t want any tummy aches for Kitty either!

I agree with the B&B at BB, Ladywolf.

You could bring Chica to the Big Top some time so they can meet?

I’m tired from having a productive day, and I’m tired of waiting for Birdbrains to update. So I shall say good night for now.

P&L TRIBE. :-)

G’Night Ladywolf.

Good Night Little Sister, Rest Peacefully

Lonewolf ~ May I have a piece of chocolate cake and a glass of milk? Kitty would like a bowl of ice cream if we have any?

Hmmmmm………. he seems to be gone.

Coming right up, LuvH8. I’ve dug up some ice Cream from the back of the freezer for Kitty.

Oh Thank You!

(hides cup behind back)

(carefully puts cup on the table, and casually walks away)

Lonewolf, do you want to pet Kitty? He would really like that.

Already did that, LuvH8.

You mean you missed that?

LUVH8 My cat would never hurt KITTY. You might notice he looks a tad hungry though. Fatty cat doesn’t like milk and beer at bedtime though he is fond of 55 gallon drums of tuna. Smile for the pretty lady, Fatty Cat. You may not get to play with KITTY now that LUVH8 has received a well deserved pardon from the Florida Governor.

LONEWLF Definitely got my vote for Hash Slinger of the Year. Steak and eggs please, and those 32 oz coffees are awful small. How do I get DOC to extend his pipeline to my sty? I know, just whistle, Hurricane season here on the East Coast, You try whistling

Morning TRIBE From now on I’m going to be sweet. Fluffy clouds like cotton candy. sweet breezes like the breath of my beloved, and rays of sunshine peeking through the clouds, Want to buy some Air Jordan sneakers?

Good Morning, Lewreader.

I’ll submit the paperwork for the supplies and we’ll have the pipeline to your place by the end of the weekend!

BTW, Lewreader. your order is up, sir!

Thank you Lewreader, it is okay if Kitty plays with your Fatty cat. Kitty likes tuna also, but he only eats it raw.

Good Morning Grog?

Buon Giorno, Grog. I take it you couldn’t sleep?

Morning, everyone.

Woke up, and couldn’t get back to sleep. Finished my tour in record time. Hope I can sleep now. Back to bed I go.

G’Night again, Grog.

Good Night Grog, Sleep Peacefully

LUVH8 Does KITTY prefer his tuna before or after they pull it in the boat?

At 2AM I promised myself I would have a glass of milk, well maybe glance at the glowing hypnotist. The best laid plans—

I need to hit the horizontal position now.

Good Night LuvH8 & Lewreader

P&L

Good Morning, Rac & Johanan.

Good Night Lonewolf

Lewreader, Kitty likes it after it has been brought in and deboned. He is a little bit picky.

Good Night Lewreader

Good morning all.

Can I get 4 fried chickens and a Coke, please?

All I want is some dry white toast.

Good Morning, everyone!

Hello, Grog, MisngNOLA & Doc

Morning, ♠Lonewolf♠

I actually managed to get back to sleep for a bit. Then I was rudely awakened by some thunder boomers still passing throught the area. I think I dozed off again before my alarm went off.

Your toast is up, Grog. I am not a happy camper when the sleep does not happen for me. It seems like this week is taking forever to get done with.

I need to start getting ready.

Tell me about it, ♠Lonewolf♠. Have a good day.

Grog, I hope you have a good day , too.

Have good day, everyone!

P&L

Now that’s just rediculous. 8 identical spams in a row! Hope somebody else drops by and sees it before it finally disappears.

Flagged em all, Grog Moderator’s sleeping in today. New login name tho.

Morning, rac

Good Morning All. Wink, you have done your job well.

’Morning Grog, rac and Cleo Grog, do you think the “boomers” were heading East?

Good Morning Carmy. How are you this morning?

Hi Cleo, I’m okay. I think the massive sleeping I did yesterday did some good.

Drats! I missed Doc. Good morning ♠Lonewolf♠, Grog, rac, cleo, and carmy.

Morning Carmy and Cleo! Good to see you my friends! Yes Wink Excellent work, my fuzzy bear!

Morning rac and Fellow Baby!

Good morning everyone Doctor Toon there are a lot here in KS also having either yard sales or garage sales. Now to hot here to have them but a lot are sweating them out. Some things people want to get rid of aren’t too bad. Then there are some people that charge way too much and they know it they want to pay bills. Those people customers leave alone. Ladywolf I did see your message yesterday and your welcome. I know it’s a relief when all school homework to tests are done and I thought about helping you celebrate I have a party cake very nice to. And thank you for your message at photobucket. There are more there some are to big for comments. I have been fortune on BT not to see spammers. But not on other strips. I guess spammers thinks gocomics is entitled to commercials.

Hi Kab Buch. Good to be on at the same time.

You are welcome Kab Buch. I’ll swing by in a little bit to see what you have up.

Stupid 502 proxy server errors.

Hello Ladywolf for a young newly graduated young lady. I can’t imiagine having time to stay at the computer emailing on BT. I am much older, like looking at different strips, haven’t been using BT that much, soon I will be getting ready to have lunch, change clothes for work clothes office setting pt, then leave about 12:25. It is 10:52 here in KS. So far the ones who have flagged the spammers mush have worked I have seen any on my site thank you. Question though for one to see comments after one makes one does one have to leave then come back for if there is a response? I have been doing that.

Good Morning to All!

Ladywolf - My comment last night I now realize seemed negative. At night my brain starts loosing it, probably due to the morning cup of Doc’s World Famous Nuclear Coffee wearing off. Actually, I unsuccessfully meant that one cannot run away from their circumstances. You can have peace, joy and hope wherever you are and in whatever circumstances you find yourself in. Your attitude about life makes a large difference. When at a small hospital I saw the happiest person I have ever seen. He was an older man whose face almost seemed to glow. As he swiftly walked by. his feet seeming to not touch the ground. He cheerfuly said ”Hello!” as he passed. I found out that he had a heart attack years before and while being in the hospital for two weeks he didn’t have a single vister, not even a nurse or doctor even said ”Hi” to him. That was the worst part of his life he had. I think most people would become bitter over that. However, he vowed that as long as he was alive no one eles would have to go through that at that hospital. After he got out he stopped by to visit or at least say hi to every patient in that hospital every day. He had been doing that for over 20 years! You said you are thinking of going into PT. I have seen some PT’s that just look at it as a job, and that’s what they get from it. Other PT’s see the help and hope they give people and enjoy a satisfying career. Being human we will not always make the correct choices but hopfully we can head the right direction. Best wishes on the start of a new part of your life!

Too hot to do really anything outside, plus I’m waiting to see what the plans are today. I went to the movies with my to cousins and saw Toy Story 3, which was okay. then I went for a walk yesterday and came back with a little headache.

I usually do not come on in the mornings, because of work or just being busy, These couple of days however due to a request I am on.

Thank you The Sojourner.

Good afternoon, tribe.

Ladywolf your pup won’t be a THREAT to Kitty, but hope he won’t be considered a TREAT by Kitty.

Oh so I’m not the only one who got that proxy server I wonder what that was about anyone no. I received it and my computer went very slow. I was going to put a beachparty cake on but was way to big and couldn’t wanted to help Ladywolf and anyone else who wanted to celebrate something they did have fun. Oh well. By the way The Sojourner I work pt I’m an older adult and pt is not what is cracked to be there is no advancment, not to mentioned being critizied for anything they find wrong outside of not speaking when others tell story’s, not enough money for classes for improvement, and not way out at least for me I am living this. Try to get a resume up and ones that offer for free, yea right, want to charge. Had to vent. No way out can’t quit no one would hire and no unemployment ins for ones who quit.

Ladywolf don’t ever let me keep you on the computer you have alife go for it enjoy your time off.

Good Morning, cleo, Carmy, Ladywolf, Fellow Baby, Kab & Sojourner

(think that covers everybody)

Ladywolf, I got those server errors, too.

Carmy, I don’t think the thunderboomers were headed your way. I’m not complaining. We need the rain. I just don’t like getting too much all at once.

Hi Grog, I was asking about the boomers as I plan to do some traveling soon.

Kab Buch - I realize there are problems like you mentioned, I know of PT’s trying to train for other positions in the health field due to conditions as you mentioned. Thank you though for helping people that really need it. You may not receive much from your patients, but some of them are very grateful for the work you do!

Carmy, then you probably already know that those storms are almost as common this time of the year as the 95+ temperatures that we get fhrough September.

www.intellicast.com is a good sight for weather and allows you to easily see conditions and forcasts anywhere in the country.

Grog, yes, I do know that, but sometimes I manage to avoid them while traveling. Last time, I drove through boomers from FL to MS. The next day, I had clear skies all the way to South Texas. I also had clear skies the entire trip back to FL.

Okay everyone I’m heading out now and will be back on tonight probably. Take care. :-)

P&L

See you later, Ladywolf

The Sojourner I don’t work in health field and here in KS would be a great idea I would need classes. I would also need to learn basic algebra, never had it, but mostly some of these meds I would need off makes my mind to lazy, vision, etc. It would surprise how much I have to to RR all the time don’t have much choice. One med is muscle relaxer and it effects me all over. I would like though to learn Encoding I’ve heard it’s complicated and I’ve asked about experience was it’s learned. I just don’t have the finances and not happy about borrowing. Tuition is going up more. I stand by my above statement. Maybe for the younger ones they may not have as much trouble getting work with degrees, since degrees talk and people with authority on hiring listen. Now I need to get ready to leave it’s getting almost time. I’m not sure I will be on latter. Bye for now.

Up since 2Am, time for my old timer 45 minute afternoon nap. If I could only sneak to bed without the cats. Going to bring my love to her first Cirque du Soleil tonight. Last year brought her to Barnum and Baileys and as I desperately fought to keep my eyes open, she clapped and cheered like a school girl. Tonight she gets to see the real thing. Hope it isn’t lost in translation.

Lewreader - have a good nap!

Kab Buch - I guess it was my fault for mixing up pt and PT (maybe I can blame that on my meds? Perhaps my brain dosen’t work well even with Doc’s Coffee?). What you mentioned is a real problem and I hope things will be able to work out for you. It seems even with qualifications many companies don’t hire older people despite the law. I know one well qualified friend that sent out over 2,000 resumés and only had one response (negative), it was probably just because she was in her fifties or sixties (I forgot which). (This was several years ago when the economy was fine.)

Good afternoon Tribeandall!!!

Kind of a late lunch break. It has quieted down here.

Hello ♠Lonewolf♠ - I am just checking now and then as I try to get things done. Hope your day is going fine!

Greetings TRIBE

How is everyone on this beautiful day?

Kab Buch that is a real problem for an older person. It is good to have a job but it would be nice to be able to get something from it as well.

Hello serenasakitty - It’s a beautiful day here also, poss. storms at night but I hope the rain will stay away through Friday so I can mow the yard then.

: (   I don’t get thunder and lightening.

Hey! No one is around.

(Walks over makes a Nuclear Coffee Float, and strolls innocently out of the tent.)

Whoa! Very quiet day!

We made it to Houston, got the truck, had supper at Saltgrass - thanks for the recommendation, Grog - and now that I’ve got caught up here, it is time to go to bed. Good night!

It is so quiet here tonight or is SOMEONE responsible for disintegrating the Big Top tent?

No, the Tent is still standing - it’s the Tribe that’s been laid flat, apparently. :)

Oh, and don’t mess with the bears - no matter what fur color they have! Pile drivers on four feet, the lot of them.

Be very very quiet…..I’m hunting wabbits!

Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh!

Ive been thinking about Winks situation. I am beginning to wonder if and when the club members will catch on. I mean Wink in disguise as a polar bear is definitely out of his climate. Surely one of those party guest will get suspicious about this and expose Wink.

Good evening everyone I won’t be on long way past this old lady’s bed time. Ladywolf I think I found the type of picture and I sent you a message at photobucket, I talk about my daughters 3 year old dog. *serenasakitty * not to beat a dead subject. I turned down last year a 2nd shift filling job maybe a mistake until recently heard where I turned down at had a major layoff with the city 100 people where let go due to budgets if I where there I would be out and they are not done more layoffs and 4 furlougs. Sad part of pt, not nursing health care, no vacations. So when I hear of someone taking a vacation I am so envious. The picture I saved on photobucket maybe too big for comments. Good night all. Ladywolf enjoy your night of talking. My time is am though not after midnight when everyone waits with anticipation of new bt comics.

Sweet Dreams Kab Buch I’ll see you tomorrow hopefully.

and thank you.

Good Evening Little Sister!

Aaaah! Kitty How are you today? Has Little Sister and the others been keeping you company?

Hi Big Sister tonight I will be serving the breakfast. I’ve already got it planned out.

That’s good. Is there anything interesting?

You’ll see. I don’t want to spoil it.

Aaaaaaaaaauuuuurgh! Fine!

What have you been up to today?

Being naughty.

MMmmm-Hmmm! I see the tent is still standing. Any idea where people got the idea something was going to happen to it?

Oh there was probably some heavy wind.

The moon is beautiful tonight that is why I changed my avatar.

I wonder where we can find someone to redo the floor and put a coat of unobtanium (is that what is called?) on it. I like the idea of a smooth cement or hardwood floor. that way we can do things like roller skate, roller blade, have races with wheelchairs or wagons, etc.

Well my dad could do it, but he doesn’t like this comic.

I like that avatar Little Sister. I noticed the moon as I was driving home, and the air here is just the right temperature to enjoy it in the evening.

We do have an unlimited supply of virtual money. I also like those cars that you pull back on and they go zipping across the floor.

We could arrange for someone to come in? What kind of floor do you think would be best. We could maybe do it ourselves……… but I am not sure if the others would like the results.

Oh yes I agree! It makes me think about my boyfriend. I wish I were in his arms right now.

Well I’ve done tile floors before.

(Throws a piece of raw meat to Kitty) Tiles do have good patterns in it.

Good Evening, Everyone!

Yeah, and maybe once we have done the floor Serenasakitty will pick out a couple of new couches? She seemed concerned about the other couch. (I think the other couch was starting to snitch the eggs made your way.)

Hi Lonewolf, how was pool today?

Breakfast is my treat tonight.

Good Evening, Ladywolf, ♠Lonewolf♠ & LuvH8!

(Sniffs Grogs hair.)

Peach! MMM very fruity. I like it, i like it a lot.

I won on one team and didn’t play on another.

LuvH8, can you see me on Yahoo IM?

( Nuzzles up to Grog, )

Good evening you stud muffin.

Holes in a cow! DON’T DO THAT!

Hello Lonewolf & Grog

Hello, Ladywolf, LuvH8 & Grog

Hello everyone, get ready for breakfast.

Watch out, Grog!
