Good Morning Tribe!

Good Morning Sojo

May I have a Berry Smoothie, brownies, potato chips and peppermint ice cream please?

Sure thing LuvH8 - Here you are!

Virtural servers are on duty - feel free to ask for anything!

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Brittany you are a mess, and we all know that Kevin is trash.

Hello everyone :-)

I’ll have a few hamburgers and hot dogs, with a Pepsi.

I’m just wondering what Britney is farming in the cement pond?

Thank you Sojo, Good Night

Good Evening Little Sister, I am happy to say I have very little idea who Brittany Spears is beyond famous singer, and not a clue who Kevin is. (assuming they aren’t talking about my cousin, in which case he would be in deep don’t-don’t)

Hello Big Sister and WoodEye. :-)

Kevin is a want to be rapper, but he’s not very good.

WoodEye, probably a tombstone.

Good night everyone.

Good Night Little Sister & WoodEye

Good Morning, Sojourner, LuvH8, Little Sister & WoodEye!

I think I’ll just go for the whole top side of the menu and add a Pepsi to that.

Grog, you are awake!

I am now.

You should sleep at night.

I try when I can.

When I can’t I read comics. At least I won’t have to, in what’s going to be a busy morning.

You need an extremely boring book or something. You like history? How about a book on quilting or knitting? You could knit your own booties!

Or a movie guaranteed to put me to sleep. The Temple of Doom worked for a buddie of mine, while The X-Files movie worked for me.

Well….. you are worrying about work? Don’t do that. Worry about how I know you have boxers with little pink hearts all over them. Ooops! Now everyone knows.

Do you have it? I like to fall asleep to cartoons sometimes. I never made it past page 9 in The Odyssy without falling asleep. It started on page 7, I could never remember what I read when I woke up. I didn’t do so great on the test.

Now I’ll be worrying about that all night!!! Gee, Thanks!

Hey! At least I didn’t tell them about your favorite Grog socks that you need to wear sock suspenders to hold up.

I have both movies.

I’m done with my early AM tour.

Good night, LuvH8 & all

Okay, you probably don’t want to know about Docs boxer’s that say ‘The Cat’s Meow’ on the right back side. Or about Bmonk’s tattoo anyway.

Good Night Grog, Pleasant Dreams

I think a bulldozer instead of a swiffer. That triple wide would come down in a heartbeat.

Good Morning TRIBEANDALL!

Another rocky start to my day…. Locked the keys in the car… with it running. Ace Hardware here I come to get a spare for this house. Hope yours are better. quick toontour…

Pooph

Good Morning, RwB

I did that once, but not with the car running, admittedly.

After yesterday - this one was easy.

Good Morning All!

Good Morning, Digital Frog

DFrog!

good morning

Runs with Beer! Take care.

We have all had episodes of the wayward keys that want to stay in the ignition while we are outside.

Good morning Grog and DFrog No one is interested in breakfast but I will have some of what Kitty and Katrina are having…not sure what it is so maybe I had better have some waffles with Maple Syrup on the side and a cup of my Yorkshire Gold tea…(I don’t want a tea party however)Sojo

Hi to Lonewolf, Montana Lady, Doc Toon, Rmom and bmonk who are usually on around now.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

Hello HopeandJoy! - Here you are, enjoy!

Hi and Bye Doctor Toon!

Very Tasty, SOJO Where is Lonewolf, I wonder? Golferman and I are soon gone for Columbia. BBL

♠Lonewolf♠ must of had a very late night. He wasn’t even around for turnover.

Good Morning Grog!

Morning, Sojourner

HopeandJoy,

Kitty’s standard breakfast platter is seven raw boneless steaks, a dozen scrambled eggs and a big bowl of milk with two beers poured into it.

If we let Kitty have more than two beers he gets playful.

Hello LuvH8!

Hi! Busy morning for me. I’ve been working on a counter-offer to the insurance company. Luv - I do wonder how you know what all those guys have under their clothes! (shakes head and smiles) Oh, and here’s the quote from the tow truck driver: “…I heard cars heading east on Kellogg I looked at them and they were coming fast like they were racing each other before I could move I was hit by a small car. Never slowed down…” Seeing as the driver behind my son put in her statement “…car in front of me slammed on brakes & swerved right.” It is obvious that he was wrong about my son not slowing down.

I’ll have to leave soon, because I’m taking the boys to school. The van’s brights aren’t very, so with deer, that makes it more risky driving home after dark. He isn’t very good driving my PT. (Manual, and he keeps killing the engine.) So, I thought I’d drop them off, do shopping at Sam’s, Wal-Mart, etc. while they’re at class. I’ve got the highway patrol’s diagram posted on photobucket, but that site’s currently down for maintenence, or I’d provide a link.

Hello Rmom - Hope everthing works out for you.

Thanks, Sojo! Well, time to get ready. Hopefully we’ll have enough time to stop at the eye doctor’s office (right on the way) and get new lenses ordered.

Hi LuvH8 & Rmom

Sorry I missed you Rmom

Hello Sojo, Rmom, and Grog

Be careful of other drivers Rmom.

Runs From Beer, locking my keys in my car is why I developed the habit (or obsession) of having my keys in my hand when I close my car door. Even if I know I just put them in my pocket or bag, I must take them back out and have them in my hand before I will close the door. It kind of drives other people batty though.

Sojo has a collection of Super Hero pajamas, including Batman, Superman, Green Lantern (complete with mask) and Spiderman.

HopeandJoy gets together with friends and dresses up in angel costumes and goes Christmas caroling on Halloween.

LuvH8 - How did you … nevermind

I started carrying a spare car key in my billfold in case I looked my keys in the car. Helped more then once.

I do or did that too. But I switch bags or don’t take anything but ID and money too often. I don’t think I can break the habit anyway.

Lonewolf puts on cute pink bunny slippers his daughter got for him every night when he relaxes about the house. Isn’t that so sweet?

Good afternoon Tribeandall

Yes, a very late night indeed. Went straight to sleep when I got home and I hit the floor running when I got up this morn.

Now I am breaking for a bite to eat and then back at for a couple of hours. I’m not sure how I am still going on only a few hours sleep!

Good Afternoon Lonewolf

Good Afternoon, LuvH8.

Funny one with the slippers. lol

Good Afternoon ♠Lonewolf♠.

Off to finish what I started! Catch y’all in a few hours. I’m using toothpicks to hold my eyes open! LOL

P&L

Greetings TRIBE. I always make sure I have the keys in my hand when I get out of my vehicle. I locked my keys in one day and had to wait for over 2 hours before someone could come and unlock it. NOT FUN.

In the meantime everybody who is tired should go take a nap. [Me first]

Hello serenasakitty - Nap away!

Hello again everyonejust back from our pleasant visit. Skitty naps are always good! *: ) Lonewolf talking of toothpicks to hold your eyelids open makes me jitterish…try duct tape or is it duck tape next time (talk about a worse solution.)

LuvH8Maybe I could bargain with Kitty to share a few scrambled eggs….not likely though!

O.k. If you caught me caroling on halloween, it was probably in an elf costume(but the angel idea was sweet) NOW I must congratulate you on your footie pink pjs, Kitty whiskers and ears, a rinestone collar, and the basketfull of chocolate you gave out at the Mall next to Chuckie Cheese. How very special.

As for the Key dilemma I won’t close the door without double checking in my purse or hand to make sure I have them…and I still locked them inside one time at the Post Office. The friendly police in our wonderful town of 18,000 or so were quick to my rescue. They said they answer at least 1 call a day for locked cars.

Hello HopeandJoy - Good to hear from you!

Nap Time!

Glad to see all is ok, ♠Lonewolf♠

Ooops! Sorry HopeandJoy!

That was Runs With Beer in the angel costume! (He shared some of his beer with me and I got confuzzled.)

You recognized me? Hmmm…. I need to work on that.

I was a little worried too, Grog

LuvH8 Such a good kitten-cat. zzzzzz

Hi again, Sojo BBL

Yes, that goes without saying not hearing from ♠Lonewolf♠ last night ot today, wondering why.

Looking good, LuvH8 I noticed RunswBeer had his halo lopsided over his ear…sort to like a cherub, though in his bare feet.

Hi HopeandJoy and Serena

OK. Well we’re still having a problem with one of our plants with close, but looks like it won’t be solved til the morning. So I’m homeward bound a lot earlier than I thought.

Congratulations?

Good afternoon/evening Tribesters!

I too, am done for the day! And I don’t have pool league tonight, so I can relax and catch up on missed sleep a little earlier.

You all are so kind when someone is abnormally absent. It is so much fun and such a pleasure to be a part of this site. Thank you all!

Hello ♠Lonewolf♠! Hope you can get rested up!

Hi, Sojo! I’ve got the batteries on recharge as we speak! LOL

Good Evening, ALL!

Tattoo? Gee, even I didn’t know I had one… ROFL!   ;^)

also, LuvH8, I keep my wallet in my pocket, so I have a car door key in the wallet–and even if I get locked out of my car, I can get in.

Another couple of funny stories about locked-in-car keys:

One priest of the Abbey was stopping at a deanery meeting to dash in and say he couldn’t stay–he’d left the car running, and as he slammed the door shut, he realized it was locked…. He got to stay for the meeting anyway, as his car slowly emptied the gas tank…

I also heard about a locksmith in a major city–New York, I think–who regularly got calls from tourists who’d locked their keys in the car. At 2 a.m. and such. So, he’d get out of bed and drive over to where they were, use his slim-jim to unlock the car in about 15 seconds, and then ask his fee of $50. If they balked, he threw the keys back in the car, locked the door, and headed back home.

Hi, Bmonk!

The inside of that triple-wide gives “shovel-ready” a whole new meaning. I think a steam shovel will be required.

Good evening, Tribe! Just passin’ by…

Hello bmonk and Johanan!

Hi Lonewolf You’re a leader and glad to see you. Enjoy an evening of snoozes. *: )

Good evening Johanan and Grog (hope you can rest up this evening. bmonk Funny stories thanks for sharing.

Bible studies and sharing, then basketball for awhile. Can Duke win????

Good evening, HopeandJoy & Johanan.

Thank you, HopeandJoy. I’m going to try.

I will be watching the Bulls play tonight. Their new free agent acquisition, Carlos Boozer, will play his first game tonight. He’s been injured since preseason.

Home at last.

Hello, ♠Lonewolf♠ (again), bmonk & Johanan

I think I’ll spend the next hour or so with y’all then turn of the ‘puter and relax while watching Petrified Forest

Hey, hey, Grog! Good to see you, man!

No! Basketball is worse than Foo Ball! The view is Yucky!

Bmonk, it is hardly surprising you don’t remember getting your tattoo. So…. do you read German?

Lonewolf, I think I am supposed to be cheering against the Bulls. Who are they playing?

Hi, LuvH8

The Bulls are playing the Orlando Magic.

There is a team called Magic?

I’m indifferent. Not a fan of B-Ball.

I watch a lot of Movies & TV shows on DVD when foo-ball season is over.

@LuvH8, are you sure it isn’t Greek?

Yes, I am sure it isn’t Greek. (Blows Raspberry)

I was putting away some old books and we have several old German books (about 100 years) most of which are religious, healing or recipe books. I was just curious if you could read them.

No, not really. I can puzzle out a few words if I must.

Alas, class calls. Back in an hour or so…

You read Greek, don’t you?

OK, movie time.

Gunite, Tribeandall

Good Night Grog.

Good Night, Grog. Enjoy the movie!

Hi, my “invisible” friends! It’s been a hectic afternoon/evening, but I think I got everything done, and a little besides. Didn’t take time to get everything on my shopping list, or else I forgot to put it on the list, but nothing that can’t wait. The brake idiot light/noise was bothersome for the first 30 minutes of the trip, but was off the rest of the time. There is something making a rubbing noise that I can hear at parking lot speed, so I’m going to insist this weekend that my hubby inspect all 4 wheels to see if he can see anything amiss.

LonewolfI don’t find the Bulls on my channels. I will primarily watch Duke anyway on espn as they are playing Mich State and should be a good game…Duke might even lose but I hope not.

Wolfie - So glad you showed back up! I was getting concerned, too. Sojo - Did you happen to see the sunset tonight? I think it was probably gorgeous, but I was in Dillons during the time it was probably at its best.

Hi, Hope&Joy! I’m glad you can sing. That’s not a talent God gave me - mine is so bad that as soon as my sons could talk, they were shushing me when I tried to sing.

Hi Rmom Sing anyway at least when you are by yourself if no other time because the music inside you can make you feel good. Hope you get the “”sound” taken care of in your car.

Nite Grog

Just a very late night, Rmom. Thanks.

Hi, Rmom!

Lonewolf Hope Boozer does o.k.

Hope&Joy - I do. I’ve also tried singing quietly along with recorded music. The biggest problem now is that my sons have inherited the lack of musical ability as well (my hubby’s worse than I am, but I’ve never ever heard him sing, even in church.) At least I’ve taught them to appreciate good music - they enjoy classical music, and I’m working on exposing them to other genres.

Rmom - No I missed it. I’m now trying to get a smart phone to access my wireless network. I’m using MAC filtering and have to figure out the password. :-)

Sojo - Good luck with that! Even my geek son hates messing with smart phones. Too bad, because if he liked them, he could probably get a job at Verizon. Someone saw this at Dillons. Obviously, the toy designer wasn’t thinking clearly - or was he/she?

LOL

Rmom!!! I am shocked! ROTFLMAO PIMP!

I am forwarding that to the Monkeys right now. (giggling)

Give me strength! Good Grief!

You just never know what a kid will find in a store nowadays, do ya?

Back to basketball.

Rmom - I actually was able to get my new phone connected!

Monkey 2 and I have already picked out who to give it to for Christmas. (snickering)

Sojo - Congratulations!! Luv - Snicker

  Happy Smart Sojo Dance!!!!

@Sojo–congrats! (Did you actually have to read the directions?(

(Did they help at all???)

Well, I’m going to head off to bed. Good night, all!

Thanks but I think it was more of an accident. Not really but might as well of been. All day I couldn’t get it to reconize the microSD card after getting the phones switched with my carrier this morning. Finally after powering it off and on it reconized it. That should of been the first thing for me to try for that.

bmonk - That was one of the problems, the instructions were almost non-existent.

Sojo, you finally turned it off and then turned it back on and then it worked?

Try this site–the instructions seem complete. Almost.

I have learned most of Fiend by accident. The destructions weren’t all that detailed. Monkey 2 and I do occassionally teach each other something we have figured out though.

We did figure out how this site does formatting through trial and error. Luckily, it does have “edit comment” and “delete comment” functions…

Sojo/Monk If I have a computer, phone or anything electrical problem, my solution is to turn it off and back on and its is fixed usually!! I need to do this for Duke…game a bit problematic

@HopeandJoy, that is often the best (quickest) way to fix things.

Some time back, I came up with a short list of unapproved repair methods, viz:

Percussive repair: giving a sharp bonk to the machine.

Repetitive repair: try it again. Also: reboot until it works.

Spiritual repair: Saying, “Oh, God, let this work!” while restarting it.

Scatological or Profane repair: as above, using “D@μη it, WORK!” (Or another handy bit of Anglo-Saxon, French or your favorite pithy language.)

I also added two methods of disposal:

Percussive disabling: Use a sledgehammer.

Explosive disabling: Use a shotgun.

Defenestrating disabling: Use the window.

Are there any others out there?

gmonk tee-hee very good!! Also try drowning if coffee is handy or a pond.

Duke won! 31 points for freshman pt. guard Kyrie Irving!

Nite all!

The microSD card problem was fixed by powering off and on. I should of thought of that sooner but didn’t. I had installed the battery then that and then charged the battery. After turning the power on the first time and connecting to the provider I noticed it didn’t see the extra memory. As it had been just powered on I didn’t think of turning it off. I uninstalled it and reinstallled it (which you can do while it is still on supposedly) and it still wouldn’t see it. I went on to other things and latered realized it was stuck on uninstalling it. That’s when I thought of repowering it.

Good Night HopeandJoy - Glad to hear Duke won!

You are too kind, Sojo for a KU grad???? but thanks.

HopeandJoy - I went to KU but am not a KU grad. :-)

Actually I’m more for OSU (Okalhoma). Haven’t gone there but a lot of my realatives did and I think I would of liked to.

I remember now about OSU. Wild place to play. I graduated from local university but have followed Duke since Coach K arrived and appreciate their program. Just wish Dick Vitale on the broadcast wouldn’t carry on so much…he just praises too much…makes it that much harder on the players. I turn him off!!! (I’m listening to the internet radio and interviews, stats etc.)

I WILL stop this after final stats. *: )

The restart thing is something I forget all the time. (Shhh! Is secret!)

It should be a first choice even if it doesn’t seem to apply to the problem at hand. For some reason it’s not always remembered!
