Sojourner, Little Sister, and LuvH8.
Thanks for the nice welcome back. I spent some time in Spain and Portugal and when I got back, work got the best of me. Now I’m leaving for 3 weeks in Mexico on Monday. See you all when I get back again!
Great time at Non-Con. No Killer bunnies, and no scrabble because my usual partner (and store co-owner) got sick and had to go home. I found a group of guys playing the board games and joined in, I can’t remember all the games but they were all fun and I had a really great time.
I ate at Waffle House before coming home. So I’ll snitch a bowl of Ice Cream and do as much of a toon tour before the 5-hour energy wears off and I have to go crash. I will be lurking while I’m up, though.
So good to be back to a typical BT spread. SOJO, I’ll try LONEWOLFS(LONEWEREWOLF’S?) Huevos Rancheros please. Do we still have hot sauce in the BT pantry? Haven’t sen it offered in a while. I would enjoy an endless cup of **DOC TOON’S WORLD FAMOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE if you please. One of my purring balls of fur had dental work Wednesday ($630). Do you think KITTY and KATRINA’S platter would hurt her? Now that other ball of teeth and claws, he’d eat Jonah’s house.
Morning TRIBE! I’d stay and talk (even) more, but it is a far, far better thing I do. I shall advance to the front lines of the sofa to guard it against possible minor attack before the game. It’s a tough life, but someones————
Just about have time for some biscuits and gravy before church preparation SOJO

Ths is one time I agree with Grog. I did part one of Service Project I tried to get an hour in to make up for next Saturday. I mentioned to children’s Pastor and someone else this may be bigger since the Autumn Bash is day before Haloween more kids. Though words needs to get out. I tried to stretch this volunteer fact is candy donated was very short they need 300 pounds of it. Should have 500 sacks only 180.
I would ask Little Sister or BBS if they got into the goodies alas can’t they don’t know where it’s at.
As a matter one of the adults asked they could have some a resonding no.
Although pizza and beer seem to go with football - for those that want a Sunday buffet I have prepared a special.

To all those looking forward to the football game(s), enjoy! Since both sides are/will be represented I won’t say ‘may your team win’ because that would make a tie in all the games today.
To the widows/widowers/partnerless (okay, we need a new word for when one of a gay couple dies, what do you call the partner?). We have that hoot of a movie, that one probably making Robert Heinlein roll rapidly in his grave yet still a hoot, StarShip Troopers. Come on, give it up for the bugs, persistent little buggers. And for the socialistic state represented and the groundpounders.
Meanwhile, I got lots to do before I go to bed tonight. I’ll be lurking.
Oh, there you are Sojourner I have put on my lurking sonar. Everyone needs to ignore the pinging sounds from my sonar.
And, as a treat, my hubby is making lupper. (lunch/supper) for those who haven’t heard of it. I know it has chicken and that’s all i know. I’ll unlurk long enough to wheel it in with the menu description when it’s ready for the buffet line.
to Quaby: a man who’s spouse has passed is a widower and a woman who’s spouse has passed is a widow. i see no reason to differentiate due to the gender of said spouse. up here, i’ve heard of a lesbian referring to her wife and, more commonly, a gay man referring to his husband so; widow and widower would seem to fit the bill.
hi Little Sister & Grog
i watched all my football and baseball yesterday. sorry the Phillies lost as i would have liked to have seen Roy Halladay get to the series, but the Giants getting in is pretty good too. i will, however, be rooting for the Rangers - since they have to be considered underdogs to the Giants pitching.
oh, and my Argos beat the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg yesterday to clinch a playoff spot (not that they’ll beat the Alouettes in the playoffs, nor Hamilton either) for the first time in about a half dozent years.
Quaby, no problem for me when it comes to stating opinions. (to quote the old time comics - “i got a million of ‘em.”) i’m sure that someone will object - at some point - to the terms used by straights being also used by other orientations, and that some sort of PC terminology will be created; but to me, it would be just a sad waste of time. of course, i’m enough of a social liberal that i see no need to call a marriage anything but a marriage either.
i, too, am glad to see the last of the ny yankees. the one problem i have with mlb is their lack of competitive balance and refusal to see it as any kind of a problem. it was only a few years ago that there was talk of contracting a couple of teams due to the lack of profitability. some say having more teams involved in playoffs might keep interest longer in more cities, but I think they need to do away with the current situation that has some teams spending more on their 5 starting pitchers than other teams can afford to spend on their entire roster. that said, i’m hoping for a great world series (and i think i’ll be cheering for Texas).
goodbye for now Tribe as i’ve just realized how late it’s getting. been doing some research for next years holidays and lost track of time. (it’s a drag when you have to book your vacation time at work starting the previous November.) pushing 5:30 EDT is WAAAAAY too late to ponder breakfast!
(((Tribe)))
Thanks, GWC! But I just finished eating a few cookies from yesterday. I’ve found they taste best if you keep them in the freezer, so I took out a few, placed them on a small cookie sheet and heated them in the toaster oven. They’re really yummy that way! (I’ve got some homemade apple pie in the fridge, too. There is no shortage of something to eat in this house!)
Sojo - Two of our trees turned yellow a couple of weeks ago, and now they’re bare. I would guess they are probably more exposed out here than yours would be in the city, and that makes mine go through the cycle sooner.
Rmom - The weather needs to get cold a few days to really get the color change going for this tree. Don’t know if it will look good this year or not. I’ve had several people stop by my house to ask what kind of tree it is when it looks good! It’s a red oak but I don’t remember the variety. The leaves turn bright red on a good year. It makes a nice contrast to the yellow leaves of most maple trees around here.
Hi, Lil Sis! It is good to see you again. I guess college is keeping you pretty busy. I got admitted to college Friday, enrollment for next semester starts tomorrow. I’ll probably just take a class a semester, depending on time & funds available. I’m guessing my classes will be pretty easy, as I plan on taking technology classes. I think I’ve stayed up on the current computer technology that I should know, but since I’m self-taught, and haven’t had to use them in a work situation, I figured that was the best area to get my needed college credits in. (I need 24 more credit hours to get a KS substitute teacher certificate.)
Little Sister Kitty just doesn’t care about the stupid human Foo Ball games anymore. He could outrun and take down any of those players if he wanted to. Bunch of guys prancing around in costumes expecting people to cheer them on. Phooey!
Sojo - You might be able to contact the Sedgwick County Extension Office. There ought to be a horticulturist who would know what type of oak turns red in KS.
Sojo - I’m not too worried. I just want to get us enrolled earlier than most, because with coordinating my 2 sons’ & my schedule, I want to have as many choices available as possible. The first class I plan on taking is a requirement for my youngest son’s degree, so we will take it together. He’ll take Psychology with his brother, so he will always have a driver. (Doesn’t have his DL yet.) We can share textbooks that way, and save some $. The oldest son has decided the other class he will take is only offered on-line. I took Psychology back in 1980 or 1981 so I don’t need to take it again.
Sojo Just checked on and try googling the words:
Red Oak Tree and there are some examples you may recognize. Sofar I can’t learn how to bring this stuff over or I would. That is a task for another day.
Luv - Thanks for the suggestion of shooting pop cans - with the pop still inside. The boys really enjoyed shaking & shooting those. I had hoped shooting the pumpkins would be a real blast, but the first several shots just carved them, instead of blasting them open.
I think I would reconize the name when I see it. I Think it has flameing or something like that in it’s name due to the red being so bright. I’ll try to google types of red oaks to see what there is. I can also call up where I bought it in case the still carry it.
GoodWitchesCat,
learn how to bring pictures over or the links themselves?
The Unofficial GoComics Style Guide by The Old Wolf is linked to at the beginning of every Pibgorn strip in the comments. It gives directions on most of what we do in the comments.
Blessing on all of you but I think I am too difficult of a case as I don’t understand a lot of the terms but will keep trying as I have time and then check in with you. I know Sojo has given me time before and I HAVE been helped with and figured out some things.
Don’t feel bad, GWC! - It took a lot of people helping me before I figured out how to insert pictures or links. And I’ve messed with computers constantly since punchcards were used!
Sorry, Little Sister, but that game will probably be the highpoint of this football week. I’m not bragging about the Cowboys chances tomorrow night, for sure.
Bye RwB I flag too and don’t see them disappear. Quaby they just do it to be annoying.
LoneWerewolf A little relaxation can revive.
HALLOWEENx02[1].jpg Now then here is something to think on that is a picture of a witch and a house with Happy Halloween. So far I can do what I have done or I can make 2 squares…one larger with a smaller one inside with a red x and I want to click on something to open it…Too much for a Sunday night….too many ![] and () for me!!!!
I don’t want to incur the wrath of the spirit of EMET, but if the Bears can’t do the job, I’d rather see the Pack win the division than the Purple People Eaters. So I’ll be cheering for the Pack tonight.
Sojo, if you want to keep things on photobucket a secret until you are ready to unveil them or forever just keep those images in a locked file. I do it, all the images that I collect on Fiend now go straight to locked files, and I move them later.
I got the URL where I first uploaded it. I then moved it to the private album. When I move it back it should be the same as it was when it was originaly. I had to upload it several times and post it to see how it looked as I was trying to learn what I was doing.
I am using the free Gimp program. It is a new feature and it could have better selections of what your doing and the help for that isn’t too good yet. It will make anything I’ve seen though.
You can make line drawiings, color them and turn them into gif pics and animate those. That’s how a lot are done. If you want to do that it mentions a couple of free programs that are better for line drawings. That can take a lot to learn. As I have done that before it’s not hard for me. Just using a finger to control everthing though might make it hard.

(to quote the old time comics - “i got a million of ‘em.”) i’m sure that someone will object - at some point - to the terms used by straights being also used by other orientations, and that some sort of PC terminology will be created; but to me, it would be just a sad waste of time. of course, i’m enough of a social liberal that i see no need to call a marriage anything but a marriage either.
yyyguy about 14 years ago
and, for the record, (not that anyone cares - or really should care), i’m straight. the only thing bent about me is my sense of humour.

LuvH8, the Yankees are going all right….going golfing, fishing. hunting or…. what ever any team might do when their season is OVER!
Ooops! Premium Member about 14 years ago
Hello Quaby, GoodWitchesCat, LittleSister, Sojo and YYYGhost
Have they? Kitty and I have not been happy with the Panthers, so we are just randomly picking teams.
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
6 turnovers by the Bears. They should have won this game, but today they looked more like the Cowboys.
LittleSister18 about 14 years ago
BUH BYE YANKESS……..MAYBE NEXT YEAR.

Chocolate cream Pie is available with Merainge (can’t sp it)

i, too, am glad to see the last of the ny yankees. the one problem i have with mlb is their lack of competitive balance and refusal to see it as any kind of a problem. it was only a few years ago that there was talk of contracting a couple of teams due to the lack of profitability. some say having more teams involved in playoffs might keep interest longer in more cities, but I think they need to do away with the current situation that has some teams spending more on their 5 starting pitchers than other teams can afford to spend on their entire roster. that said, i’m hoping for a great world series (and i think i’ll be cheering for Texas).

Saucy1121 Premium Member about 14 years ago
Grog - Bears and Redskins looked like they were playing in the Turnover bowl.
Happy Sunday evening, tribe.
George Arnold about 14 years ago
Rmom - Yes it is. My front yard tree is almost ready to change color.
LittleSister18 about 14 years ago
You’re welcome Rmom. :-)
Smiley Rmom about 14 years ago
Thanks, GWC! But I just finished eating a few cookies from yesterday. I’ve found they taste best if you keep them in the freezer, so I took out a few, placed them on a small cookie sheet and heated them in the toaster oven. They’re really yummy that way! (I’ve got some homemade apple pie in the fridge, too. There is no shortage of something to eat in this house!)
Smiley Rmom about 14 years ago
Sojo - Two of our trees turned yellow a couple of weeks ago, and now they’re bare. I would guess they are probably more exposed out here than yours would be in the city, and that makes mine go through the cycle sooner.
Ooops! Premium Member about 14 years ago
Sojo, can I have about three bites of everything? Oh, and a little cup?
Smiley Rmom about 14 years ago
Hi, Luv!
LittleSister18 about 14 years ago
Hi Rmom Good to see you again.
LittleSister18 about 14 years ago
So Big Sister Is Kitty happy today?
George Arnold about 14 years ago
Hello Scary 1121.
Rmom - The weather needs to get cold a few days to really get the color change going for this tree. Don’t know if it will look good this year or not. I’ve had several people stop by my house to ask what kind of tree it is when it looks good! It’s a red oak but I don’t remember the variety. The leaves turn bright red on a good year. It makes a nice contrast to the yellow leaves of most maple trees around here.
George Arnold about 14 years ago
LuvH8 - Of course! That’s a good way to eat food from India. It gives you a variety for your eating experience.
Smiley Rmom about 14 years ago
Hi, Lil Sis! It is good to see you again. I guess college is keeping you pretty busy. I got admitted to college Friday, enrollment for next semester starts tomorrow. I’ll probably just take a class a semester, depending on time & funds available. I’m guessing my classes will be pretty easy, as I plan on taking technology classes. I think I’ve stayed up on the current computer technology that I should know, but since I’m self-taught, and haven’t had to use them in a work situation, I figured that was the best area to get my needed college credits in. (I need 24 more credit hours to get a KS substitute teacher certificate.)
George Arnold about 14 years ago
Rmom- I hope you can get the class you want!
Ooops! Premium Member about 14 years ago
Hi Rmom
Little Sister Kitty just doesn’t care about the stupid human Foo Ball games anymore. He could outrun and take down any of those players if he wanted to. Bunch of guys prancing around in costumes expecting people to cheer them on. Phooey!
Smiley Rmom about 14 years ago
Sojo - You might be able to contact the Sedgwick County Extension Office. There ought to be a horticulturist who would know what type of oak turns red in KS.
Ooops! Premium Member about 14 years ago
George Arnold about 14 years ago
LuvH8 - I’ve been working on a secret project today having to learn some new things in the Gimp program. Have figured most of what I need now.
Smiley Rmom about 14 years ago
Sojo - I’m not too worried. I just want to get us enrolled earlier than most, because with coordinating my 2 sons’ & my schedule, I want to have as many choices available as possible. The first class I plan on taking is a requirement for my youngest son’s degree, so we will take it together. He’ll take Psychology with his brother, so he will always have a driver. (Doesn’t have his DL yet.) We can share textbooks that way, and save some $. The oldest son has decided the other class he will take is only offered on-line. I took Psychology back in 1980 or 1981 so I don’t need to take it again.
hopeandjoy2 about 14 years ago
Sojo Just checked on and try googling the words: Red Oak Tree and there are some examples you may recognize. Sofar I can’t learn how to bring this stuff over or I would. That is a task for another day.
Smiley Rmom about 14 years ago
Luv - Thanks for the suggestion of shooting pop cans - with the pop still inside. The boys really enjoyed shaking & shooting those. I had hoped shooting the pumpkins would be a real blast, but the first several shots just carved them, instead of blasting them open.
George Arnold about 14 years ago
I think I would reconize the name when I see it. I Think it has flameing or something like that in it’s name due to the red being so bright. I’ll try to google types of red oaks to see what there is. I can also call up where I bought it in case the still carry it.
hopeandjoy2 about 14 years ago
From the pictures SOJOURNER I think it may be the Northern Red Oak with the lovely color which they say is widely adaptable.
LittleSister18 about 14 years ago
AH YOU GOT ME GOOD Big Sister. :-)

George Arnold about 14 years ago
Although you can’t change seperate times for pics in an animated gif I think I have figured out how to be able to. As I make them I’ll learn more.
COWBOY7 about 14 years ago
If you move a picture from one album to another after you post the pic, it will disappear where it was posted at.
COWBOY7 about 14 years ago
Sojo, What program do you use for making animated pics?
George Arnold about 14 years ago
I got the URL where I first uploaded it. I then moved it to the private album. When I move it back it should be the same as it was when it was originaly. I had to upload it several times and post it to see how it looked as I was trying to learn what I was doing.
George Arnold about 14 years ago
I am using the free Gimp program. It is a new feature and it could have better selections of what your doing and the help for that isn’t too good yet. It will make anything I’ve seen though.
COWBOY7 about 14 years ago
I think I will try that one, Sojo.
George Arnold about 14 years ago
You can make line drawiings, color them and turn them into gif pics and animate those. That’s how a lot are done. If you want to do that it mentions a couple of free programs that are better for line drawings. That can take a lot to learn. As I have done that before it’s not hard for me. Just using a finger to control everthing though might make it hard.
George Arnold about 14 years ago
