WHAT’S UP WITH THESE BIG SPACES IN OUR TEXT BOXES?!?

My real-life alter ego just got the proof copy of the book written by E.V. Medina and Jack Shepherd (another pen name of his), as of yesterday:

REALMWALKERS

It looks very, very good! We shall see how soon we can get it into print…Yesterday the Internet, tomorrow the Real World!

I just got through with *ALAIN*’s posting. God, he can go on almost as much as me. All I wanted was a mug (XTRLG) of DTWFNC and the morning paper. I’d walk across to Duncan Donuts but their coffee (although great in a non-nuclear way) doesn’t have the Zip-pa-de-doo-da this old man needs before the sun rises.Did Chicken from 2C&aC infect BIG TOP? Last time I came into money I invested in the Value Sized Big Joe’s Bubble Gum.

Good Morning, Tribe.

Time to run James to football practice and stop off at UPS. BBLP&L

Good morning, Everyone!!I’ll just have a cup of DWFNC for now…………we’re going down to a real nice breakfast here at the hotel.

Hi, serena

Hi serena!

Hi and bye, sKitty! (unless you don’t like that nickname. . . .)

Aw come on, Dusty’s just doubloon his pleasure…Of course some Gum-Gum fruit would do much the same (just don’t ask him to swim afterwards)…

Hi Alain!

Hi, Alain!

He he! I’ve switched avatars, but the old yellow pig keeps showing up. . . .

Don’t be fondling da bloomers! This is a family strip.

Hi, Alain & LuvH8

I thought I saw a frog this morning. Oh! There he goes!  

Hi, LuvH8! I would think that when the family strips, it’s ok to fondle da bloomers. . . .

Hi Grog!When they turn 18 can you try to knock some sense loose by basing them in the head with a pillow?

bashing not basing

Happy Bmonk Dance!!!

Poof!

Hi LuvH8!

And what did I really do to deserve that?Just because it’s froggy out today. . . .

Good afternoon, Bmonk, ♥Kab♥, LuvH8, Serena & Grog!

Hi, Lonewolf

Hah! I still have a yellow pig on occasion!

I haven"t seen it.

Hi, friends!

Thanks for thinking of me, M’Lady – or were you thinking of someone else?

Hi Rmom!

I’ve been busy today – decided it was time to quit procrastinating and get my sons enrolled for the fall semester. I had held off, because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take a class this fall, and to see how their summer classes went. Final day of summer school is the 28th. Both are working hard, but I think pulling an A. Now it is the crunch time of getting their semester end project done, but I have faith they’ll do okay.

There’s always negotiations between the parents and the sons – how many hours do they have to take, which courses, at which days/times (they don’t seem to be too picky about the instructors, thankfully.) Since they carpool, I work on coordinating their schedules with their degree requirements.

Hi Sojourner, and everyone else! Good Afternoon! Boy, you gotta love the weather here in Atlanta! Not as hot as it was yesterday! That’s because we had good rain! Anyone else here?

Hi Josh – It’s only 93° now but humid and overcast. No rain and not much if anything expected. 100°s or higher forcasted as far out as it goes. May have slight chanch of a little shower next Thursday.

Rmom – I hope everything falls together for the Fall senester!

Good to hear from you Doc.

I’m back. My, it’s a very “froggy” evening this evening here!

Quiet evening.

Aaaaugh Aaaaugh Aaaaugh!!!!
