Sure thing Grog Enjoy your meal. :-)

Good Morning Little Sister - I’ll have a three egg omlet with tomatoes, black olives, mushrooms and cheese, some of the Spinach Casserole and 2 peanut butter cookies if you please.

You got it Sojo Enjoy your Meal. :-)

Good Morning Grog.

Good Morning, Sojourner!

Thank you Little Sister.

You are all welcomed. :-)

Hey, Little Sis…..great menu. I’ll have some of that Spinach Casserole, and a glass of chocolate milk….very cold.

Good morning, Grog, Sojo, Lonewolf, and of course, Lil Sister

We just came in from stargazing, and had an exceptional night!!!!

There was this HUGE meteorite coming in from the northwest, straight down…………it had a VERY wide, bright gold tail, and a VERY large bright green ball. When it broke up, it had a HUGE bright white flash………

This was sooooooooooooo exciting!!!!!!

You got it MontanaLady, Enjoy your meal. :-)

I’ve seen things like that as well MontanaLady It is so cool to witness special moments that you will never forget.

Good Morning, MontanaLady. Did you take pictures?

Good Morning MontanaLady - That would be someting to see!

Little Sister - Thanks for breakfast, your a good cook!

Yes, Little Rascal is no Roz from Shoe, that’s for sure.

Grog…..no way to take pictures, it was over before we could get too excited!!!! (let alone go in the house, find the camera, and then shot it)

We’ve finally started taking our camera with us when we go into town…..never fails, there is something noteworthy to shoot whenever we don’t have the camera with us…….soooo….it’s now right there with the cell phone when we leave the house!!!

Too bad, MontanaLady Nothing ever happens when your ready for it. Now who said, “When you least expect it, expect it?” What I do remember was the person who said it was seeking revenge.

That saying is so true.

Camera = nothing worth taking a picture of. Good photo opportunity = no camera.

Sojo so true!!!

So long, Everyone, time to say Good Night, Gracie!!!

Well I’m tired now, so I’ll call it a night.

Gunite, Tribeandall!

Good Night Gracie! er … MontanaLady!

Good Night Grog.

I think that I shall turn in as well. See you all sometime tomorrow.

Good Night Little Sister

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪☼ P&L ☼♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Love your avatar Sojo

Good night.

Yet again I arrive and no one is here. It is almost the end of the second day with no coffee. Apparently people do count the caffeine in soda and tea though.

I drove SAFELY!!! It does take more concentration, and it irritates the people who are followinging behind you.

Happy Conservative Driving Dance!

Good morning to anyone who’s up at ‘Oh God am’ today. Dropped in for Little Sister’s breakfast before I go to the yard sale. BBQ ribs, baked beans and cole slaw sounds good. Yummy yummy,

LITTLE SISTER I didn’t know you were from New England. I’ll have the lobster tail(s) with tons of melted butter. Please be quiet as not to wake up SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED. I do not want to have to defend my breakfast with a pair of nut crackers (shut up, Lew). Oh. could I send my precious kitties over to your place for a couple of hours? Do I serve NUC COFFEE light or black with seafood?

Morning TRIBE! I saw Christmas stuff in the store yesterday. Does that mean calories don’t count until March 18?

Good Morning Tribeandall!

Good Morning, Doc.

I fell asleep before turnover once again last night. We are getting ready to go to James’ football game now.

Good Morning Lewreader, Quaby, LuvH8, Sojo, Grog, Lil’ Sister, MontanaLady & Everyone!

I’ll catch y’all after the game! Have a great day everyone.

P&L

Good Morning, Doctor Toon & ♠Lonewolf♠

Have fun at the game, ♠Lonewolf ♠

Well time’s a wastin’ and I’ve got to get movin’. Have a good day, everyone.

Good morning everyone.

I hope you all have a great day.

Hello Doc

Good morning, Everyone……

Just checking in before we head out to the Farmer’s Market and some breakfast.

I’ll just have a quick cup of Doc’s Coffee before I head out, Little Sister.

Have a great Saturday gang, and Lonewolf and James, good luck at the game!

You got it MontanaLady Enjoy your coffee. :-)

I’ll see you all later.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪☼ Good Morning TRIBE! ☼♪

Hello to all those here!

Little Sister What a good looking breakfast!!!! I am going to have peach cobbler for breakfast with a cuppa tea and creamer….then around noon, I will try a pumpkin pie. (I promise to eat sensibly this evening.)

Lonewolf Hope James” game is fun…We won last night and have a 4-2 record. It was a good night… temperature in 60’s.

Hi Hopeandjoy2 - Have a good day!

**Goodmorning Sojo, MontanaLady, Lew, Grog, Doc Toon, bmonk, Rmom, LuvChaos, KAB, and all on the other pages which I can’t see right now!**

Have a happy Day

LuvChaos If you can stand hot tea, it might help through the transistion from caffeine…or even a good decaf has only a little caffeine as you know( of course, chocolate may be better) Smiles

Good Morning Lonewolf, Little Sister, LuvH8/BBS,Grog,Doctor Toon, RwB, Doc, MontanaLady, Woodeye, hopeandjoy2, Johanan Rakkav, Rmom,Lewreader, Digital Frog, The Sojourner,Bmonk,

hopeandjoy2 sorry I missed out on all the fun. I gained some sinus problems, earlier had to get daughter her cake, hubby and I got from deli from Dillions since Dillions is only one here locally carries wipped toping as icing for cake. I only have to adult kids, daugther just turned 25 and son later in Oct turns 28. I need to study workbook too much to take two test together.

Time is 11:30 here heading towards noon. Still trying to come out of it. My sinus passage got hurtin real bad, would on taking over counter Zurtec helped quite the nasal passage.

Hi Kab - Hope you feel better soon!

Good Morning Tribe!

James’ team lost, but they had fun and it was a toss up until the last play.

Hi, Kab!

Hi, Sojo!

Hi ♠Lonewolf♠ - They had fun and kept up with them most of the game. If ypu have to lose, which you do sometimes, that seems to be the best way. Hope the rest of the day is good for both of you!

POP! Another busy day in the life of a mom…. I’ve got to leave shortly to take a son to his tutoring session. While I’m in ICT, I’ve got to go to Lowe’s and buy another door lever. No, nothing wrong with the one I bought yesterday. I just thought I’d take the old knob off that door, and put it on another exterior door that has been sticking. However, the old one isn’t adjustable, and the distance to the strike plate isn’t the same. I also need to drop off an antique tool that was my Dad’s, at my sister’s house. Our brother is working on it, and wants to borrow the plane. I’ve got more errands, but no time to bore you with the details. POOF!

Thanks, Sojo.

Hi, Rmom!

Good to hear from you Rmom.

Headed out to pool league. Catch y’all later!

P&L

Have a good time ♠Lonewolf♠.

Lonewolf sounds good. James and his team are tough ones to beat for sure.

Kab sometimes some moist air helps too. I get my teakettle humming and stay near it while I work…of course, it depends on the room etc….Standing in a hot shower can bring some relief too. Hope you feel better soon, regardless.

Rmom cute avatar

Good Morning, Tribe and All!

Neeto, Montana Lady. In this part of West Dakota a meteorite was actually seen as it broke up and hit the earth.

Unfortunately, it was 102 years back, and my Grandfather was one of the witnesses, not me… :^(

But, I did see a part of it in the Meteor room at the Smithsonian. :^)

(It don’t take much to make me happy, does it?)

Hi be-monk - Hope you have a good day!

The Cynic–there are plenty of other contenders for that title. My fave is Rat.

be-monk……lucky Grandfather!

I never saw a flash like that before!!! No sound, and have no idea how far away it was.

MontanaLady we couldn’t get over how wonderful the stars were and of course, the blue sky during the day. We saw nothing falling or flashing however. A great experience for you…do you sit on a deck or out in the yard?

Hi Be-Monk glad to see you again. that is some mouse your cat has. South Dakota was still lovely on the western side.

hopeandjoy2…..we sit out on the deck in back facing East, North and West. That is, if it’s not a full moon that washes out the sky. The sky is incredibly black, and you can see SO much!

If it’s a full moon, we sit on the front porch, and face south primarily, and with the city/valley lights, you hardly see stars. But, we face the airport about 20 miles away, and watch the planes land. There are only about 5 flights before midnight.

What you saw is special, although it’s does occur a lot it’s rare to see it. Several times I’ve gone out of the city to watch meteor showers. Once there was supposed to be a large one but it was overcast. About 11 p.m. I got a friend and we went north where there was supposed to be a clear sky. We could see large flashes through the clouds and knew there were a lot of large metors. After almost a hundred miles we finally hit a clear spot. It was fantastic and we got set up as quickly as possible. However the temp. dropped to the dew point overhead and suddenly the sky became overcast within 5 min. We continued to go north seeing large flashes through the clouds but gave up trying to find another clearing when we were almost to Nebraska. Turned around and got home about sunrise.

Good afternoon Tribe looks like it’s a good day overall for members of our little group.

I’m back from the yard sale. Made about $80, mostly Ty beanie babies and pewter figurines.

Breakfast kept me going until nearly 3pm, when I stumbled home and started devouring my Hardy’s chicken tenders, upsized to large this time. I am very tired, but not knowing how the rest of the day will go (my ankles are already saying ‘Stand? I think not”) I figured I’d drop in and give the good news. For me better news is I had told myself 10% was going to the fund for some great Christmas anthems. It”s not much, but it’ll help with the shipping costs.

So off I go to LaLa land. Perhaps I’ll see you later.

Thanks for the news Quaby.

QuabyI do love Christmas music and anthems!! We are already practicing in Community Chorus for our concert Dec. 4. Your 10% is appreciated there, I’m sure and will make the music of Christmas that much more enjoyable.

*ML* How nice you have different places to be comfortable and watch.

Here, we have a lot of trees (which we love) but have to get out in the car or walk up the street to see much and it is not the same as in the mountains or even when we lived outside the city in the country up on a hill.

Hello everyone I’m back for awhile.

Hi Little Sister.

Hey there, Little Sister Glad you are here for awhile.

I’m having a nice weekend, and will be going out on a date tonight.

Glad to hear it’s a good weekend. Have you have a good time tonight!

I hope so.

So how about you all, any weekend plans?

Just watching Okla. beat Texas! (Go OU). !st half just finished and OU is ahead 21 to 7.

Wow! That’s good to know. :-)

My lastest Carbanite backup is almost finished (another 30 Gigs), less than 500 Megs. to go. Then I can do more on PB to get more Dragonball photos and start scanning in photos to upload.

Cool! I look forward to that Sojo. :-)

Hello everyone just a breif

poof

Just took chapter 2 test on timer. At least I printed out test sheets. Tried one way. hopeandjoy2 do you know water spray may not be great not distilled and no salt burns nasal passage’s, I’ve been rinsiing my nasal with distilled and salt water. Sadly though I have green. I woke up this morning in a bad fog, This afternoon I worked on chapter 2 test and got get moving on next chapter. 2nd class is 19. I’ve worked ahead on this not sure how this will work.

Little Sister you and your date getting serious?

Hi Kab - Good to hear from you. Hope you get better and do fine on your classes!

Sister Kab we’ve been serious now for half a year.

We are responsible adults now and think things through before doing something stupid.

I wish my son had more of a life then here at, tis hard to call home though we are paying for mortage. I would have rather been further north. My hubby now takes our mom places as drivers are at getting worse on driving.

Drivers are really bad at driving where I live. Everyday there seems to be a high speed chase, and someone usually ends up injured or killed.

Little Sister will there be something special ones from BT will be celebrating! I glad though you are just dating mode. Wish my son had someone to go with or better yet working. Me I will majorly celebrate if I pass this one course. I am printing tests up checking for right answer when done. So far I have failed first test. With help of Rmom on discussion topics I type for spelling and grammar check that has helped. Test 2 with same time restraints did different did get at least one wrong but notice my scores up better. For each test I am learning best way to work them.

Our mom thinks when we talk about her not driving she thinks were saying she has a mental problem. We tell her drivers are different now. This main thorough road south of her they drive faster now. I think police here locally wait until someone has a car accident then ticket who ever gets hit. Strange part is right accross the main road south of her block away is fire department and police substation.

Little Sister I figure you and your guy are staying safe. Though there are so many young people are not. Same way over 40 years ago teens mom’s said same thing being same next thing popping baby.

My job is another thing that is important to me. I love my job but with the current state that our economy is in, my boss has even began to start laying off workers. So far I haven’t been approached yet, but it’s probably only a matter of time.

Back to work on discussion 3. Having two chapters in a weeks time is rough very little down time. Chpater four starts Monday. I am going to try for chapter 3 test Sunday unless I wait until Monday morning. Then I have to get with #4. And still work or 2nd book before starts 19th.

I’m not a union worker, but still the economy affects all businesses.

Little Sister I hear you more on that jobs then you realize. ICT is on verge could be next year of relocating to another state. Believe this Louisana with disaster money from Fed, and this should be a crime agains Louisana, is trying to lure this local aircraft company there. Means workers will either have to relocate or who loose rest of employees 7,000 or more. This will hurt. Where I work at due to budgets some wondered if there would be lay-offs.

In 4th quarter Okla. ahead of Texas 28 to 10. :-)

Place I work at not union. I don’t think Grog and know Doc Toon isn’t, Lonewolf self employed. Others might be retired. Saucy I doubt is union. Union does have good points. My hubby years ago was union stewart and nover violated any one rights. Nor gave anything away.

There is a local entertainment place north of ICT 2 years ago this guy got funds going then after 2 months went backrupt closed immediately. This guy is not serving time for defrauding investers and other realted charges. Did same thing in TX and Kansas City. This former amusement park goes up for aution. Even former Johnny Wester entainment center went up for auction all part of theme park. Johnny Western has moved to AZ to conitnue and be with chilren and grandchildren.

Boy have we got a conundrum. My hubby is finishing up a course that is the prerequisite for the course starting up 10/4. The final was to be available starting yesterday, and he would need the printed certificate to be eligible (and get his vouchers ) for the next course. Today the college website said it would be available 10/4…….naturally on a Saturday they say this and no one in a position of knowledge and/or authority is available. Right now option #1 is for me to wake him up Monday morning when I get up for work…..but there’s just one problem, I’m on vacation next week. But it’ll work up, even if I have to set my alarm Sunday night (I’m not sure if he has an alarm clock, need to ask him).

Sigh….welcome to the land of Hope and Change. He’s been unemployed almost 2 years, I don’t know how many more changes I can take.

Speaking of bad drivers or dangerous driving situations… We were on I 80 in Nebraska for a while and it is truck heaven. Cars are always dashing in and out wanting to get past trucks and not always being safe in choices of when.

KABI was not speaking of putting spray into your nose, but breathing in a moist environment as being soothing. Even drinking a cup of tea and breathing vapors, I find pleasing but may not be “your cup of tea” :’)

Good luck with your tests.

Whoa! I hit enter just as the hubby came into the Inner Sanctum—-er—my room. The website is fixed and he’s gonna eat a little supper and then take it. Hope it stays up long enough for him to finish, and that he does well.

Sojo We are happy about Oklahoma beating Texas too! Do you think Grog will be unhappy about this or is he for the NFL franchises.?? I remember he’s not so much into college games, come to think of it.

Quaby Sending positive thoughts your way.

Hopeandjoy2 - OU is only ahead 28 to 20 with just over 1:30 to go but I think they will still win. Will see soon.

Quaby - I wtll hope for the best but will not say anything else as I don’t want to jinx anything.

Hopeandjoy2 - OU won but had a close call at the end. :-)

I guess local ones havn’t heard big new here in Wichita. Looks like Louisana wants this local aircraft to move there using Federal funds to enforce this happens. Not great for Wichita. hopeandjoy2 I know you said shower spray or vapors form tea or hot drinkl, isn’t that for head colds? I don’t have a head cold.

I gotta get ready for my date, so I will see you all later tonight. I should be home by turnover.

Little Sister have a great time. I just worked on next discussion. Here locally your game is over. I guess there where surprises.

Little Sister - See you later if I’m up and your back. Have a good time!

The Sojourner Hawker Beachcraft has been heading that way or elsewhere this past year. Reason I didn’t type name of aircraft Com. didn’t know I could for public forum. The CEO started backpeddeling when news caught wind of what they wanted done. First choice was Mexico now this. Miss use of Federal Funds. Some one should be in trouble.

I have a neighbor works there use has two degrees Masters and Engineering. She does purchasing for them.

I doubt and hope I’m not. Church for Sunday our starts at 8:30am. There will be a congregational meeting we voting on bi laws.

KAB…It is just to help loosen “gunk” ( a good medical term, huh) and if you feel stopped up, it may help regardless. You may have found what works for you anyway.

So sorry about Beechcraft…it shouldn’t happen!

Poof!

Bye Hopeandjoy2.

Hawker and Louisana should get in trouble using Federal money ment to help them. Union talks came to a halt. I use nasal Dr. told me what to use sometimes it works and flushes. For me I don’t know what a head cold is like, seriously, allergies usually turn to sinus infection. And yesterday I was in pain. I’m taking Z to calm drainage down with Alergra D. But only towards bed time.

Good Saturday Evening, Tribeandall

Lewreader, I got to see part of the last of the Red Sox/Yankees games I will see this year. All I can say is we’ll have to wait ‘til next year.

As for for the Texas/Oklahona game, I don’t really care who wins, as long as it’s a good game.

Now when it comes to the game I’m currently watching, I hope ‘Bama totally anihilates the Gator nation.

I will not get to see Notre Dame/BC, but the Irish will probably lose anyway.

No I don’t care as much about College as the NFL, but there were some (and are some) pretty good matchups today.

17-0 ‘Bama. Keep it up!!!

24-00000000000000, BAMA!!!!

Good Evening Grog - Glad ‘bama’s ahead!

Hi, Sojourner

If you didn’t know it already, I’m a Gator-hater!

I do now, I don’t khow why, but to help be for one side I tend to go against any team from Florida so I can be for someone. No reason, I just want to be for a side if I watch it as being neutral negates a reason for watching it!

Sojourner, the only Florida team I like Florida State. Other than that I’ will cheer for LSU, Auburn and ‘Bama in the SEC. I will also go for Georgia when they play Florida in the Tea Party.

Hi, tribe! Second day in a row, that I only got the comics and not the comments (other than here) read. Oh, well! I tried to get a new ringtone on my cell phone. Ended up going to the att store, and they couldn’t do it either, since we bought my phone on ebay. Guess when it got “unlocked” from whatever network it was on originally, causes this problem. But other than that, it was a good day. Hubby & son got more siding put up. I don’t think this side will get finished before winter, but at least the basement didn’t leak in the carpeted area that last really bad hail storm we had, so that’s good. It is a big area to do - 30’ wide, and 37’ high - one door & one window. At least until they get up to the gable section, they won’t have to make any tricky cuts.

Hi, Rmom!

Hi Rmom - Good to hear from you.

Was it as nice a day as it was here, Rmom?

Hi, Sojo & Grog! Grog - I don’t know what your weather was like today. Ours was sunny and about the right temp. A little windy in the morning, but it dropped down under 20mph around noon, so wasn’t too bad at all.

Rmom, The high was about 85 and sunny and dry! A great day in the neighborhood

Grog - Ours was a little cooler than yours. Predicted to get up to 74F, but the weather station nearest me said it only got up to 68.1F today. I wore a long sleeved shirt, but with the bright sun, I wished I had worn a short sleeves to do my errands today.

Good to hear from you Doctor Toon - Have a good evening.

Hi, Doc! Bye!

Hello everyone.

I’m about to head to my bed and look for the Sandman.

The weather here was beautiful. A little nippy at Oh God A.M. this morning but it warmed up nicely. Not sure but I think I may have a touch of sunburn. Kinda hope so, it makes me sleepy.

P&L and a truckload of Krispy Kreams, delivery scheduled for between 1&2 am

Good Night Quaby and thank you!

GO ‘BAMA AGAIN!

Doctor Toon, hope all goes well, and have a good time tomorrow.

Rmom, as windy as it was in your area today, I would have gone with long sleeves too.

Touchdown, ALABAMA…….31-6

Yumm, Quaby! Can I eat those in my sleep? Surely my hubby won’t mind/notice the flakes of glaze in bed, will he?

Guess I need to start getting ready for bed, now that I think about it. Good night, y’all!

Hi & Bye, Quaby.

I’m a droolin’!

Good Night Rmom.

Good night, Rmom!

I think it’s time for some Bugles & Jalapeno dip!

Sounds good!

Turn the page?

Someone has to do it.

After hearing all about Hummus, I need something to take that bad taste out of my mouth.

Well, ‘Bama remains #1, and Florida will probably drop to # 10 or 11. Now will someone please knock of those potato heads from Idaho!

At least you didn’t watch a man trying to break the world record for eating a plate of it in the shortest time!

LuvH8 likes Hummus!

Does anyone out there like Haggis?

Hello again. I tried to go to sleep after yesterday of crashing, hubby is so tired and loud he fell asleep fas. Grog you don’t like that Humma commercial where grandkids think grandparent are so cool. I know mine don’t think their grandparents then when they where little was to cool. Now their adults grandma is definatly not cool. My last surviving grandma I don’t think was to cool. She’s been gone decades ago. Grandpa, my mom’s dad, like to tease us, his wife my mom’s mom wasn’t close to her and she didn’t want mom around. So therefore that Humma for seniors with grandkids is funny.

Grog I think I will pass.

I know the games are still going strong so I bid adue and will work on text book need to get ahead. I wonder if President Obama will get involved with Louisiana on spending Federal money deigning resident’s a chance to rebuild more. What does some say who live in Louisiana about this? Just curious. My hubby did not work at Hawker Beechcraft.

Kab, I wouldn’t be offtering up the Haggis. I was just asking.

Grog - My comment about the world record was haggis. I keep getting the words mixed up. I would like to try it just to see what it tastes like. :-)

Rmom when you read this, at my mom’s house insurance wouldn’t pay for storm damage, though complimented my brother-n-law for roof work done said he did excellent job. Storm tore off a section of siding at utility room it was horrible mold had built up real fast whole sections deteriorated badly. Door that is connect to utility room wouldn’t open had to beef up from floor to celling due to sagging. I told my mom if others had seen this wonder if they would tear complete down. She made comments from past after she is gone tear house down. Mom is still going strong except for sinus and house is deteriorating fast. She has infection in face muscles.

I didn’t realize there was a Flintstones marathon on Boomerang. Looks like something I can fall asleep to………..and wake up with.

Well I hope someone will be awake come turnover. I certainly will not be.

Good night, Tribeandall

Good Night Grog.

Goodnight all….I could not “stomach” the thought of tasting Haggis even though I am curious.

VERY EARLY BREAKFAST!

Good Night Hopeandjoy2.

Good Evening Johanan Raklav.
