Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for February 10, 2013

A boy and his cat (that would be me).

Whats that about cats?

Boys, girls & cats.

Good Morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

Shika, when I made my last comment last night, I did not see your comment that snuck in before mine. The comment had been directed at Fellow Baby because we’d been talking about Motel 6 and whether or not I’m leaving the light on like Motel 6 does.

These are reruns that are not in synch with the seasons. This one is dated 6-21.

Good morning, CDers

Fergus, here are a few activities at Summer Camp if you go:

theater (Mel will be in the audience)…playground…hiking around the lake…more play…arts and crafts…

swimming lessons…swim meets…canoeing…cool uniforms and lasting friendships…campfires…and, sleeping in the great outdoors!…

and, of course…

LINKLove your avatar Citizen GROG!.

I think the last time I donned a winter-themed avatar, I couldn’t replace it until summer due to avatar loading issues on the site. I hope that doesn’t happen again this year.

Good Morning Grog, Dry & all camping CDers out there.

I was an assistant counselor at a Girl Scout camp one summer. I t was quite the experience. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.

good morning to the happy campers and Citizens of Dog.

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie!

Howdy Stel, win, k9 and Ryan!

and ((((((((((((((((((athome))))))))))))))))))))))

Stel those pictures and captions are DELIGHTFUL!

I love Duncan! And today’s is lovely! I’m glad it made you smile athome.

Hey to all the CD kiddos out there. I used to love going to Girl Scout Camp in the summer. The swimming, canoeing and the night hikes. It was a lot of fun cooking our food over the campfire too. Those are some of my happiest childhood memories.To this day if you put me in the back of a canoe, on a river, I am a happy gal.

@athomeI saw that comic last night before I went to bed and it made me think of you. I’m glad you saw it today.(((((((((((((((athome)))))))))))))))

Yes, it is too bad, I am sorry, athome!

Thanks for the cookie, Fellow Baby. I replied to your comment @ The Barn.

Fellow Baby! Left you one at LDL!

I hope you liked the cookie!

And at the Barn, Fellow Baby!

I loved the cookie, Fellow Baby.

I replied at LDL.

((((((((((((athome))))))))))))

Some day you will be happy again :-)

@ StelBelWhere is this camp? I want to go! But I’m bring a cat…

((((((((((((((at home))))))))))))))I love that strip of “Running with the bunnies”. I hope you can get away yourself. I wish you peace and love.

Jkiss I never went to camp, as we had a cottage. But when I returned to Universtiy in 2008, we started each new year with a three day retreat at a camp. (I was in seminary). If camp is like that, with bonfires, cabins, lakes and woods, I know I would have loved it too. We always bonded that weekend too, which was the whole point.

A motel south of your border, Shika.

hi Sugie, Dry, cleo and all

Boys aren’t the only cheating gender, Shika

Hey, I’m doing what I can to eat up all that snow in the North East.

And I replied at LDL Fellow Baby!

Hi Girlfriend!

Well, I just found out our local Blockbuster is going out of business! I guess I should have expected it, sooner or later, but it’s been there for years and the people, and the manager, Kristie, are such NICE people! I suppose the JC Penney store next door to them will be next! SIGH!

Shika, Grog/ my Fellow Baby, said “A motel south of your border, Shika”.

Yeah, Shika, and THEY KEEP THE LIGHT ON!

See if you can google one of the commercials!

Replied to you at BS Dry.

Grog, you’ll have to catch on to my "tongue-in’cheek* humour about the girls. I was kidding.I’ll Google this motel south of the border, but I suspect I know what I’ll find.

Dry, Blockbuster went out of business here a few years ago.We don’t have JC Penny up here, that I know of. But it is like Woolworths or Kresgies, isn’t it? Both long defunct here too.

Good Night Citizens of Dogs and Campy pups and kitties.

I replied to Shika and then saw your comment, Fellow Baby, and then I deleted mine. Yours was much funnier.

When I left Canada, the only major retailer that still was in business was The Bay. Eaton was gone as Simpsons and Morgan’s long ago. But there were Walmart’s starting to pop up all over the place. I’ve never bought clothing there and I never will – especially not to go to work in.

OMG! I looked up Motel 6! do they keep the lights on to keep the roaches away or what? Sorry, but they look so cheesy. And I see that we have one in Kingston, Ontario. The ads are identical and they are in English and Spanish. Obviously, they don’t expect a Canadian to go there.Although you never know. We have our own cheesy motel chains up here though. ;-)

Good night, Shika. It’s been fun, but I guess I should also also turn out the lights shortly.

I’m glad that I’ve got choices down here like Macy’s and Dillard’s to choose from. Those choices were truly going out the window in Canada – well at least in Montreal and Edmonton. The Bay was the only go-to place for office-wear.

Pulling a Shika. Check out OB for a real groaner.

Shika, our Chairman of the Board of our Canadian entity always stayed at Best Western Hotels. I wonder if he’d ever been to Pampa, TX. They don’t have a hotel there, but they’ve got the best motel there – and that ain’t sayin’ much.

It’s always fun Grog. I just don’t always have the time to stay here. I’m supposed to be printing off my report now. So off I go to make sure it is a-okay..

Night.

I’ve always seen the good hotels here, thanks to my girl friend who gets went to some of the best here, right downtown. Expensive and ritzy.

I’ve been to functions at Best Western. They aren’t too bad. Nothing like the Royal York though. ;-)

I’m also not sure you get the ‘woof woof’ thing. That’s for fans of Kelly’s Heroes and particularly Oddball, played by Donald Sutherland.

Well it’s time to pull down the mosquito netting over my bed.

LORDY, GO TO RED AND ROVER AND MAKE SOME POINTS, AND I GET BEHIND HERE!

Shika, Motel 6 is a standing joke, the commentators voice, at least here in the US has a GREAT voice. The slogan is COOL. Would I stay there, only if I had too! I prefer upper end places I know, like Courtyard Marriott and Hilton Gardens.

NO JC PENNEY is NOT LIKE A KESGIES OR WOOLWORTHS! Higher class, BY FAR! I think you would like it. And the prices are very reasonable, esp. during sales.

I meant ONE BIG HAPPY, but I made a few comments at Red and Rover too! LOL! But nice ones!

Good night, everybody!

(click) We’ll leave the light on for ya…

My printer is printing at molasses speed on a cold day. One letter (character) at a time. I tell you, technologies does not agree with Shika. I KNEW I should have started earlier!

I prefer the adventure to the choice of accomodation. As long as it is clean.
