Good Morning Little Sister, may I have some Other Foods?

the cybernetically enhance robotic waiter (Prototype model number BT1007XT) is now on duty to take your request.

Yes its fuel cell is powered by Docs World Famous Nuclear Coffee.

Yes you may Big Sister :-)

Good night.

Good Morning, Montana Lady and Everyone!

I….. ummm….. I’m scared!!! I think I may have nightmares.

I gotta’ stop watching SCI-FI.

Ooooh! A Robot! A Doc’s Nuclear Coffee Powered Robot!

Little Sister, are you absolutely sure you have to go to bed? Serenasakitty could use our help with the finishing touches of her kitchen……..

“And COMPANY”! I’m impressed, Little Sister - someone has been keeping up on her reading!

You might want to talk to one of the Special Forces about a rather safer fuel cell: one that uses shacharite, a black resin-like substance. (Wait a minute, that sounds rather like DTWFNC. LOL!) 100% conversion to electromagnetic energy and can only be made to “blow up” with the use of a specific kind of fuse…

No, Dusty, “frolicking” probably doesn’t involve sex in this case. But it would be a good idea to get an exact definition anyway.

Hi Johanan!

Do you mean Doc’s Coffee could be used to “blow up” things? Oh my gosh! I never would have thought of that! (tries to whistle) Do you think Little Sister knows?

Good Morning, ♥Little Sister, Montana Lady Oooops! & Johanan.

♥Little Sister,♥ I think I’ll have the hamburger or hotdog, but not the pizza.

Warning: Rabbit Joke Ahead!

This guy comes home from work one day to find his dog with the neighbor’s pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit is very dead and the guy panics. He thinks the neighbors are going to hate him forever, so he takes the dirty, chewed-up rabbit into the house, gives it a bath, blow-dries its fur, and puts the rabbit back into the cage at the neighbor’s house, hoping that they will think it died of natural causes.

A few days later, the neighbor is outside and asks the guy, “Did you hear that Fluffy died?”

The guy stumbles around and says, “Um.. no.. um.. what happened?”

The neighbor replies, “We just found him dead in his cage one day, but the weird thing is that the day after we buried him we went outside and someone had dug him up, gave him a bath and put him back into the cage. There must be some real sick people out there!”

JONANAN You must be a brave man to insult DTWFNC.. the last man who did is whistling in a reactor in Japan.

LITTLE SISTER What an inspired idea. I’ll have the Healthy Finger Food, please. Er, extra napkins if you don’t mind.

Pop!

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have the platter of finger food an DWFNC, thank you ♥Little Sister♥

Great rabbit joke Ooops!

Good Morning Doctor Toon!

Morning all!

Good Morning Digital Frog and Grog!

Good Morning, Digital Frog & Sojo

Good morning, Everyone. I woke up really hungry! Must be those dreams I had of rabbit stew!

I think I’ll mosey on over to the breakfast table and see what is left……maybe some chocolate cake?

Good Morning Montana Lady - Hope your keeping warm with your new stove!

Ummm…… I was up late… or early …. or something. I seem to have decided to abandon a schedule completely. It works well with the confuzion that is life. Also makes it more confuzzling when I call people at two in the afternoon and it is still dark outside.

Good Morning (or good night?) Ooops!

Good morning TRIBE

Ooops said awhile ago ‘Serenasakitty could use our help with the finishing touches of her kitchen……..’ She is definitely correct. Any volunteers? I can’t believe how much dust, sawdust and bleeep there is. Oh well, it’ll look great when it’s done.

I would be happy to help Serenasakitty. Let’s see …. if I train the carpenter ants to only take loose materials and send them on a bottle rocket fueled with

Oh! Is it carpenter ants to build the cabinets and fire ants to take away and burn the leftover pieces? Ummm…. I might need a little help with the help.

Good Morning Sojo

Good afternoon/morning, Tribeandall.

Home early from work. The weather is nice and sunny today with a high of 50° and it feels much warmer in the sun. A very nice afternoon off!

Good Morning, all you peoples! (esp Sojo, serenasakitty, Ooops?? (or is it LuvH8?), & ♠Lonewolf♠.

I’ll have a “Healthy platter of finger foods” I’m peckish for some nice fingers.

Hello serena and ♠Lonewolf♠!

Well now, I think I’ve seen it all I get to the checkout at Kroger and the woman in front of me has nothing but an assortment of chocolate bars and a couple of six packs of Busch’s beer. Now there’s a well balanced diet!

If it wasn’t for the beer I would have thought Ooops! was standing in front of me

Hello bmonk!

That almost sounded like Ooops! Close but no cigar.

I can’t believe they bleeped my comment! I did not say a bad word.

Hi, Serena, Grog, Sojo, LuvH8 & Bmonk

Some character(s) don’t allow a post to be made - they may be what it thinks is part of the formatting for the comment that it doesn’t recognize.

Talk about putting the brakes on! Where did everybody disappear to?

Got me.

Did you take off due to the up-coming holiday, slow at work, needing to rest, or combination or something else ♠Lonewolf♠?

Slow and can use the rest, Sojo. A couple of appointments rescheduled for tomorrow. I gave up a day off for tomorrow as the mechanic wanted the day off for the holiday. I’ll take off Saturday. I only work half a day on Saturday anyhow due to pool league.

Hi, Wolfie & Sojo! My schedule got full, thanks to my family. My oldest son is volunteering at church for the Easter program. Last night was rehearsal, performances tonight, tomorrow & Saturday. Since the PT gets about twice the mpg as the van, and he’s not terribly good at driving the PT, I’m playing chauffeur when I can. Last night, I just socialized and watched the rehearsal. Tonight, I need to do some shopping and hope I can get there before the performance starts to watch.

Sojo - I wonder if we’ll get any rain today? SE KS is getting some, but I only got a few drops.

Hello Rmom!

My sons & I have several school assignments to work on, hubby has a 3 day weekend, and the two of us are taking a shotgun class on Saturday. Since the shopping this evening could take a little while, I’ve asked my sons to help at Wal-Mart to save on time. I figured I’d take the non-grocery items, and send the boys over to the grocery section with a detailed list, then we can meet at the cash registers. This should be interesting!

Hi, Rmom!

Rmom 40% down to 30% chance of rain today. Radar looks like everthing out there now will go east of us. I hope everything corrodinates at Wal-Mart. :-)

Hi, Wolfie! I hope you get some much needed rest. I’m sure my hubby will be doing some extra sleeping this weekend.

Sojo - Thanks, at this point, I doubt we’ll get much if any. Too bad western KS isn’t getting some of this rain. I decided I could probably fit in Sam’s shopping during the one hour, but not Wal-Mart too. The church isn’t really that close to either one, but at least it is close to highways.

Wolfie - It is good to get things accomplished too. I’m not sure what projects I can get my hubby to do tomorrow, but I’m sure I can come up with some.

I’ve got some things that need to be done, but I should be able to get some rest this weekend. I’m off Sunday.

I am pretty sure these are supposed to be chocolate rabbits, even if they look more like chocolate rodents…….. Anyway, it reminded me of Bunnyface and the avatar he had last Easter.    

LOL

Hi Sojo, what bad word did Serenasakitty say? It must have been because it was related to cleaning. I have noticed that most words related to cleaning are bad.

She said she didn’t say anything bad. Whatever it was it didn’t post so I don’t know.

I have talked to 2 women workers as Office Specialist. Big dept wants close to 400 to take early retirment and these 2 are in this range planing to taking. These are full time workers so I have been shut out.

Hello all. Training done. Employers to my thinking ancient. Whereas two others prior mentioned innocent.

Here so far no rain. Traveling on 400 hwy west came very close to a wreck. Truck in front of me pulled over to Lt side where a driver in car had to hit brakes. Me I stayed where I was driving waiting to get over and slowing down. If accident had occured not knowing I would have gotten hit. Drivers use all three lanes. I finally able to get on but kept distance for other drivers.

I’m am off muscle pills not sure if wise now. My muscles are protesting. This from neck surgery 2 years ago.

Hello ♥Kab♥!

I figured it out! And the word appears in this popular strip.

Good Evening Kab Sister. Did they give you stretches to do to keep your muscles loose? The proper stretches can do a lot for pain prevention as well as using moist heat as needed for pain as soon as possible when it occurs. They also suggest avoiding stress, but I haven’t figured out how to manage that one.

Okay, it could not be that word. That word is a BLEEEP word though, and I just luv Clovis, he is my favoritest comic teddy bear ever.

I have no problem moving my shoulder arm. Thank fully.

I have finished with those exercises’s Big Sister. Temps here a little cool. I am wearing a jacket. I don’t wish to use a furance. Who got bleeped? Someone nice shouldn’t.

Big Sister muscles are stiff. Just sore but now I have some warmth calming down. Grog the training I received might get bleeped here. Deals with customer service and people in general in everyday life.

I’m sure it was one of those mendasock words that our lovely and gracious Serenasakitty got bleeped for. You know sometimes they bleep the strangest things.

Kab Sister, I have had at least two doctors suggest to me after my neck injury, about ten years ago, that I should continue to do stretching exercises for a few minutes everyday for the rest of my life to prevent muscle tension headaches I am prone to due to my injury from be rear-ended in a low speed accident. It certainly can’t hurt and it might help.

Good evening, Everybody,

Sojo…..our new stove is FANTASTIC!!! We actually had to open a few windows because we let it get too hot this afternoon! Love it!

It’s 37 now, and it’s snowing/raining, and supposedly we have a Winter Storm Advisory going on until tomorrow p.m. :)))

Montana Lady - Glad your warm. I’ve watched the Old Farithful live cam a couple of times today and it’s been snowing there.

Big Sister I do agree. By the way my neck injury, though at the time I did not know was whiplash, occured as far as I know before Big K age wise. Surgery 2009. I don’t think rotar cuff surgery of last year would cause this as the muscle soreness is closer to my neck of all places to my RT.

Good Evening, Tribe

Have a good rest ♠Lonewolf♠?

Good Evening, Tribe

Hi and Bye Doctor Toon - Have a good night.

Watching anything tonight Grog?

Just popping in for a moment again to say hi to anyone here. Looks like I just missed Doc. Must have been the zip that just passed me.

A large helping of good karma in the bank for anyone who needs it.

Hi, Sojo & serena.

I’m watching Suspicion, a Hitchcock classic with Cary Grant.

Hello everyone :-)

Hello serena and ♥Little Sister♥!

I’m sure I’ve seen it Grog but I don’t remember it off the top of my head.

So is everyone ready for the Easter Weekend. I know that I am.

It’s a good one, Sojo. The kind of movie that would be on TCM.

Good evening, ♥Little Sister♥

I know I’m ready ♥Little Sister♥.

Grog - I’ll check and see if that’s shown on any internet sites I watch.

Sojo, do any of your sites show classic movies?

Fun in the sun. I’ll be renting a Jetski for this weekend to ride at the beach.

Hello Grog :-)

Sounds like fun ♥Little Sister♥. :-)

Hulu shows some but not many. TubTub does but with dozens of stations and no guide to what’s on (and none follow normal start times) it’s a complete chance to catch what you want. A few others I am starting to see don’t. (TV Land doesn’t show movies.)

The waves wont know what hit them.

Have fun with that, ♥Little Sister♥

Sojo, I wouldn’t mind a station that had Hitchcock all day, Every Day.

Classic movies! I don’t know many but when ever I have to watch my great grandma I always turn it to the TCM channel. It makes her happy.

Right now I’m watching a good The Rockford Files show.

I saw a good stupid movie today, In the Earth’s Center.

I will watch what’s left of Rockford after my movie’s over.

♥Little Sister♥, I take it you mean you don’t see many classic movies.

That’s right.

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Sleep well, Sojo

Just got done watching Da Bulls. They won!

Good Night, Sojo.

And the Blackhawks are up 2-0. Am I dreaming or what??

If they win it makes the series 3-2? The game’s in Vancouver so I expect there’s plenty of game to go.

Check out CD, Grog. :^(

I’m watching the game as well.

Go Hawks

The ‘Hawks are trying to end it early. 3-0 now.

Thanks, ♠Lonewolf♠. Got it. :-(

You’d do the same, Grog.

How’s your back doing?

Better now that I’ve been able to apply some heat to it this afternoon & evening. I’ll have to see how it is in the morning.

I should be getting my Cavalier back tomorrow morning. The final bill won’t be cheap, but if I subtract the new tires I need to get, it’s still cheaper than what I’d planned on.

Woo- Yeah! 4 to nothing.

The champs are alive and refuse to go down.

The Islanders of 2011?

5-0 now. Gee is this a one sided game or what?

Good to hear that your back is getting better, Grog. Auto repairs can be expensive, but when you consider how little we put into them for maintenance now a days, it’s really not that bad.

The replacelemt parts for my power windows were less than I thought, but to fix my dashborad it was a lot more expensive than I expected, but I still wanted to get it done.

The Pasadena streets were not kind to my existing one. Finally they’re doing road work to fix a lot of it, but now it makes it more difficult to get around the city.

What year for the Islanders, Grog?

I forget. I know I was in New York during the playoffs so it must have been late 70’s or early 80’s.

I think they won 4 in a row if I’m not mistaken, but one of those years they were down 2-0 in a 5 gave series and down 3-1 or something like that in the following series. Just when you thought it was safe to stick a fork in them, they’d come back to life and win the remaing games to move on to the next round..

I think it was the year of their last in the string, but I;m not sure of that either. I’d like to say 82 or 83, but I know for sure I was down there in May. New York was so much warmer than Montreal at the time.

Time for me to see the back of my eyelids.

Gunite, Tribeandall

Good Night, Grog.
