Eat Hearty, Tribe

Good morning……Good Night, Tribeandall……Stayed up as late as I could…….time to have a glass of apple juice and hit the sack.

Good night, All….

Taking notes about the future….Isn’t that kind of like cheating?

Grog I’ll just have the Huevos Rancheros today. Thank you

Good night, Montana Lady!

Good Morning, ♥Little Sister♥

Your order is up.

Good Morning Grog, Montana Lady, and Little Sister!

I sure hope there weren’t any snakes or spiders in that sack Montana Lady.

Good Morning, Ooops!

Thank you Grog and Hello Big Sister :-)

See you all later.

Good Night. :-)

Good night, ♥:Little Sister♥

Good Night Little Sister, Pleasant Dreams

Grog, may I please have a chocolate milkshake?

Yes you may, Ooops!

Time for me to head back to bed. Good night, Ooops! and all!

Good Night Grog!

Sir Lew, Kittylikes you and was concerned that you said you were gaining weight. He would like to go for a run with you, that way he can help keep you motivated.    

I’ll just take a fresh avatar, please.

Good morning, Tribe!

(shall we start an e-mail-writing campaign?)

Good Morning, Tribe!

Good idea, AH!

Good morning TRIBEANDALL How are you, Terry? Chilly this morning and its not getting any warmer today. Bright side….Sun

OOOPS If KITTY was behind me I’d pass Jessee Owens.No wonder my poor felines shiver in their sleep and HER dog twitches. KITTY is a menace to society. I take HER overweight dog to the vet today, Notice I said “I”. Females step all over me.

Good Morning, Doc, Plods with Beer & Sir Lew

She’s little, Doc. Guess what… they don’t stop growing until age 5…. she’ll probably top out around 115 - 125.

I don’t know how much training experience you’ve had, but

Quick tip - when she starts to pull - stop, wait til she comes back to you then resume. they’re smart she’ll figure it out.

Plods with Beer, It is going to be a cold one today. But the warmer days are starting to sprinkle in here and there. Spring is right around the corner, sir!

Doc, did you get my “e”?

I need to get moving. Have a busier day today at the shop.

Have a great day everyone! Stay warm!

P&L

Cats’ll probably take about a month…. if you have any questions, I’ve had a few years experience. Terry has my ‘e’

Morning All

Good morning, friends! Doc - I’m glad we’re not at war! If KS was at war with CO, where would Kansans go for skiing? Our Great Pyranees mix was around the same size as a St. Bernard. Thankfully, we don’t have a leash law out here in the country, because it wasn’t easy walking him on a short leash.

Wolfie - I’m glad Wolfangil has great health benefits, because that’s the part I dread most about a root canal. As a check writer, I would be concerned that with photo deposits my check could be deposited in more than one account. Most likely by some dishonest person, but could happen by a forgetful or disorganized person.

Doctor Toon my daughter would know how you feel on walking a full grown dog that age. She came upon one type of leash she loves and has great control of the dog. I’m not sure of the name, but the special leash doesn’t hurt the dog and people get a little confuse. It’s I believe is a muzzle leash. A loop that goes around the dogs mouth and neck lets the dog know the owner has control and will dog will walk with the owner. I will send this off and in a little while ask the name of this leash.

The dog can breath easily with this type of leash.

Hi, Kab!

Hello. I just asked my daughter that leash is called a halti. She loves it and had to introduce plus give the female dog a treat for this. She is also working on the male golden retriever at now 9 months. At first the female didn’t like the idea but know reconizies for walks. People, my daughter notices thinks by their reactions, thinks there is something wrong with the dog but no just gives owners more control.

My daughter does feel she needs it for control. The female golden retriever loves people, with the exception if someone comes to the door she goes in protect mode. She loves going to garage sales and this is before this halti leash, she would litterally drag you to someone. Otherwise I would have to tell her either to heal or sit sharply. She was great at therapy on pulling my shoulder muscles long after shoulder surgery. Anyway she loves this halti.

Last year when the male was a puppy, dummy me I thought take both on a walk. Female no problem, whereas, the male I was watching out for, problem male puppy managed to wrap the regular leash around my ankle and managed to trip me on the street. I’m waiting until puppy gets a little older and he is close to female size. My poor knees last year got scraped real bad and bleed heavily. I had to clean and ice pack. This won’t happen second time.

Doc - It’s called a gentle leader

The choice is strickly yours and your wife Doctor Toon on your dog. I need to go and exercise. Then on my writing lab for English, and I had help from someone who knows English and they even got frustated, I’m nearing the end of my writing lab and I plan to print the pages to help with last tests. English doesn’t end until May. After exercise I will be getting on-line. I do the work on writing documents just need help on major run-ons, still a major problem for me. As with others.

My daughter calls it a halti. Owner is in control. Bye for now.

Good Morning, peoples! (esp: ♥Kab♥, Rmom, DocT, & PwB…)

Dusty: either take notes, or develop good taste. Your choice.

BTW, I’ve never had one, so I can’t be sure, but I suspect poodles don’t pull that hard against the leash. Unless they see a puddle and go for a swim…

Oh, and bye, ♥Kab♥ & DocT!

Hello to all those here!

I’ll grap some assorted kolaches, thank you Grog.

Poodles figure out how to slip the leash bmonk

Probably, PwB.

Hello Plods with Beer and bmonk!

Hey Sojo

Good Morning, Tribeandall

At work and as busy as ever! Will POP in and out as per usual!

Hello ♠Lonewolf♠ - Your day should at least go fast!

Hi, bmonk, Sojo, PwB & Wolfie!

Hello Rmom!

Hi, Sojo and ♠Lonewolf♠!

I didn’t know that Dusty liked following the rules.

It’s an older, wiser Dusty??

Good Morning Alain, Lonewolf, Plods With Beer, Sir Lew, Doc Toon, Digital Frog, Smiley Mom, Kab Sister, Bmonk, Sojo & Lurkers

Hi, Ooooops!

Hello Ooops!!

Hi, Oooops!

I thought it was pretty quiet around here.

If today is Old Stuff Day, do we celebrate by enjoying our old stuff or going through it and getting rid of it?

Yes.

Hmmm…… Old Stuff…… the older two generations have been really irritating me recently. I told my mom the other day that every time one of them annoys me I break something. I don’t, but maybe I should…..

Just hide it, Ooops!. If they don’t ask about it in 2 months, then you can throw it out.

Irritated there, Ooops!?

BTW, I often forget to mention how enjoyable your little gifs are.

Hi Plodswb, Sojo, bmonk, SmileyRmom (Like that) Lonewolf, Lurkers, and Ooops

I have been having some older generation problems of my own this morning!!!!! (grumble, grouch) BBL

I don’t think it works that way with Gma’s stuff….. most of it is usually hidden. People are really weird about old stuff and junk. I think I will work on getting rid of mine.

Hi, Hope&joy. Good luck with the elder troubles.

Hi HopeandJoy, I wish you luck.

Smiley R Mom, I too like your new name.

Thank you Bmonk, HopeandJoy, Sojo & Peoples I like findinding and sharing the images.

Hello HopeandJoy♫ and pseudonymous!

Doc You might want to try a gentle leader. Worked on my pup quite well. Might be a bit old for it though.

Hello Saucy!

Hello Pseudonymous & Saucy!

Once my cousin went to his folks farm and heard glass breaking behind the barn when he arrived. My aunt had saved hundreads of glass jars in the barn in case she needed to put something in them. My uncle was behind the barn with a hammer breaking a lot of jars. He didn’t think she needed all the jars and had been trying to throw some out. He finally got her to let him throw out any cracked jars.

Good afternoon, Tribe

Hi, Saucy, Pseudo, LuvH8, Sojo, Smiley Rmom, HopeandJoy♫ & Bmonk!

Oooops! - I, too, enjoy the gifs. Thanks for my new name, too. I’ll still answer to about anything that has “mom” in it, though, if people don’t want to type it all.

Sojo, I have an axe…… There really is no point in keeping something once it is broken. I like your cousin’s thinking and I am fond of hammers too.

Smiley Mom, thank you… the name suits you.

Good Afternoon Lonewolf, does this mean I am going to have to greet everyone again since it is no longer morning? I was trying to do better with greetings……. but……. but…… but……

Everything is fine, LuvH8! :^)

pseudo - Just go to your profile page and type in the name field whatever you want to show up. Your account/user name remains the same, all the changes is what shows up for others to see.

HI I think I have greeted everyone once except Pseudon My sister is really o.k. she is just a different personality and likes to put things off that need to be done sooner rather than later and causes some stress….to which she says, “wait until you are MY age” She may have a point! It is just I like to get things I dread (like paying taxes writing a term paper) out of the way early so I can forget about it. She is 16 years older than I and baby sat me when I was young……Sorry for this saga

SmileyRmom I have come so close to writing Gmom when I address you because that is my name away from this site (grandmom) to my Colorado grands and it comes naturally. I sign my emails and cards to them “Gmom”

Hope&Joy - I understand completely! I’m the youngest out of 5 siblings, so I’ve had to deal with older siblings. Since my folks picked me for power-of-attorney, trustee, & executor, it has been difficult at times for my siblings to accept I was in authority over them. I learned when I was a senior in high school to get things done ASAP, because I was working full-time in addition to going to school. I found that my stress levels were better, than when I waited until right before the deadline. Of course, the downside is that sometimes I use the extra time to make the project more elaborate than it needed to be.

Exactly Smiles to you!

Hope&Joy - I’m old enough to be a “Gmom”, but my kids aren’t even close to being ready to be parents. I’ll admit to being an “old lady” especially since it seems I’m aging quickly. I figured I earned my silver hairs, wrinkles & bad joints.

Psuedo - It is easier than one would expect, isn’t it?

I am fighting off being forced by circumstances and people into being one of the main decision makers for Gma, so far I am not doing too well. I may have to have myself declared incompetent.

It is okay Pseudonymous, you will notice we are shortening your name already. If it offends you, you better type up quick. There are no rules about greetings. Many people will just do a general greeting and then greet those that greet them. Sometimes I just greet those that have been on in the last hour or two. Sometimes I try to see if I can sneak in with no greetings to or from anyone.

Ooops! - I understand how tempting that may be, however, you could end up with some unpleasant unintended consequences, like someone else making decisions for YOU.

Oh! They already do that! That is a major part of the problem. I have no power for big decisions and am expected to deal with daily decisions. Then they make big decisions with little to no knowledge or regard …… Ummmm…. ranting now……

Good evening Smiley R Mom & Ooops!

I hope you don’t mind if I shorten it to SRM going forward.

Grog - That’s fine with me, although “Rmom” catches my eye better when I’m trying to speed read to catch up on the posts. It might take me awhile to get used to SRM.

No, problem, Rmom. It’s hard enough trying to speed type without typos without long-winded names like JAD’s. Of course he insisted that we spell the whole long-winded thing out.

Hello Grog!

Hi, Sojourner

Grog - I understand completely! Hi, Sojo! - You’ve been quiet today.

Smiley R Mom - Jusi keeping busy. :-)

Sojo - Nothing wrong with that! I’ve been staying busy too, but much of the time has been at my desk.

March 27 is National “Joe” Day, those who hate their name have the right to have everyone they know call them “Joe” on this day.

I kinda like my screen name, but……… it might be fun.

While my son had possession of my computer earlier today, I worked on cleaning out some stuff. Now I’m shredding 17 year old check copies. It is like an archaeological dig.

Hi, Ooops!

Good Evening, Tribal Family!

Home from work, no pool and I can relax. Whoops, not yet!

Wofangil can’t get in until Saturday morning, but it won’t cost anything as she is having it done at the hospital where she works. Except for the meds afterward.

As long as she is careful with what she eats and drinks, the pain is bearable.

Ooops! - I don’t know. In high school a 7 of us went to school together. 5 of them were named Steve. It made having a conversation kind of hard.

Hello ♠Lonewolf♠ - That’s good to hear.

Hi, Sojo. Yes it is.

Yes…. I like the name Joe better than Steve though. It certainly isn’t something ….. this is why nicknames and adjectives. Sometimes I have trouble with my daughter’s friends’ and exs’s names they tend to have names like: ‘Wears Same Stupid Hat All The Time’ and ‘Walks Like Stick is……’ and ‘Really Tall Guy Who Needs a Glass Of Juice’

Hi and Bye or Bi or By to all Hang in there Ooops

My “sister” problems may be solved thanks to a lovely agency of volunteers called Care Connection that we can use as a back up when needed who accept donations. There ARE Answers to prayer,

Wolfie - It doesn’t seem like the drugs are real expensive. All I can think of would be antibiotics and/or pain killers. Generics would probably do the job.

Hi, ♠Lonewolf♠

Sojourner, I didn’t have that problem in school, I’d say I’ve met quite a few Kevins in my working life, a number of which I am still friends with. 2 of them hung out together and were members of the same band. We called one of them Fred. Now if they ended up going to a party where any of those other Kevins showed up it could get really confusing. Then there was Kevin the bar-tender. He may have gotten a little confused if one of us were shouting out one of our friend’s names.

As it stands right now my boss goes by the same name.

In fact, my boss’s name is Keven

I didn’t pay a lot for my painkillers, which is a good thing because I didn’t use them all. I didn’t may much for the antibiotics either.

Hi, Rmom & Grog!

Considering that the root canal is zippo, I can’t complain about the meds.

Hope&Joy - I’m glad you found some help! We got several high school/college age girls (who we knew from church) to come in and relieve my sister after Mom began to need 24/7 care. She didn’t need shots or anything that took medical training, so the girls worked out fine. We called them “granny sitters”, because they did basically the same thing a baby sitter would do, just for a grandma instead.

Hello Grog & All Peoples I greeted with a different specific time of day so that my greeting may have expired!

Oooops! - As long as none of us expired during that time.

Lonewolf, was Wolfangil able to get anything for the pain between now and Saturday? I always hated having to wait until the fixed the problem for the painkillers.

She has something to help until Saturday.

Well time for me to start wrapping thigs up and calling it a night.

Good Night, Tribeandall

Good Night, Grog. Rest well,

Good Night Grog.

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

Good Night, Sojo. Catch you tomorrow.

I’m tired. So I’m glad that my room mate is cooking.
