Dogs, Drinks, Dining
“It looks like Chicago’s about to make it easier to take your dog to certain kinds of restaurants,” Spence says.
“Don’t see why not,” Admin says. “You see it in other countries.”
“Stovernia?”
“Hard to say. Stovernia’s a dictatorship.”
“Kind of like Rahm Emanuel’s Chicago?”

Dogs are allowed anywhere in Stovernia.
Good morning all.
8:51 am on May 4th, 2012
I’ve always thought Gerard Butler would make an excellent Bernie. He can put on a very convincing American accent. Isn’t Jeff Daniels too old?
I’ve seen Norton Graham advertised on BBC America but I’ve never watched the program.
8:53 am on May 4th, 2012
(Whispering): Spence, it’s “kinds” not “kids” in the first sentence.
8:56 am on May 4th, 2012
Except that Stovernia is a benevolent dictatorship. Rahm’s Chicago…not so much.
Hoorah for Stovernia!

Dawson — You took the words right out of my mouth; sort of a risky thing to do when dealing with a golden retriever, but you did it nicely nonetheless. Wookie
9:26 am on May 4th, 2012
Melanie, how is YSAS doing? That was one funny story.
Where is Macy?
9:26 am on May 4th, 2012
Aw shucks Wookie: You made my day.
I have to get out in the yard before it gets too hot or the thunderstorms hit, or both.
Thinking of Rose…
9:41 am on May 4th, 2012
Speaking of Thunderstorms, it looks like one is heading in on the farm. Mr.Staff has put the ancient van in the quonset. We don’t want it to get anymore hail on it.
So far it is just rain.
A Catty Librarian and Elliot will be visiting overnight on Sunday and we must get the spare bedroom spiffed up. Elliot will stay in there or Alice will have a gigantic tantrum.
10:01 am on May 4th, 2012
On Sunday, which Mom said is soon, I’m going to my girl’s college. We’re bringing back lots of her stuff and I get to go into her room again and sniff everything.
10:19 am on May 4th, 2012
Have fun Sam. I bet she will be coming home soon, right?
We here in northwest Illinois think Rahm is doing OK. At least he is not another Daley! What did we have, about 50 years of those guys? I know he had a long reign, but personally we don’t think the 2nd Mayor Daley would have been in office if it weren’t for his daddy. The man could barely put a sentence together!
Dogs would be allowed anywhere in Stovernia. As it should be!
They keep harping about thunderstorms here, but so far they have been missing us totally.
10:36 am on May 4th, 2012
Greetings everyone.
Melanie asked us to update you all. The nursing home had Dan taken to the hospital last night. He has developed some kind of as yet undiagnosed malady of the stomach, but it has created some internal bleeding.
The doctors have said it may be an illness that can be treated. They will be doing tests and scopes and trying to figure it out. Melanie and Zoe are at the hospital now, and we will update you whenever we have more information.
Meanwhile, we are also keeping Rose in our thoughts.
We are so grateful to have this wonderful support system.
10:43 am on May 4th, 2012
The usual rainy morning here, but Weatherkat is forecasting a sunny weekend and warmer temps.
Not a minute too soon! Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo and the Big Howl Fest.
B: Good notice on Spence’s flub up top. We have gotten so accustomed to the iPaw typos that I read right over it.
Rio: All is well…the Chase website was in working order last night.
Wolfie: Is your mom packed and ready to go? Sounds like a fun trip!
Tupper&Gilly: Just read your update on Dan. Prayers and Good Thoughts going out to our Dear Friends.
10:54 am on May 4th, 2012
Kids, dogs, very close.
We will be hoping for the best outcome for Dan. Hope it gets resolved soon, before the countdown to the wedding.
11:06 am on May 4th, 2012
We’d vote for Stover anyday over Rahm.
Barb, kids, dogs, close…no
Wolfie, Thank dog, Macy said one word to us last night. I was getting worried about her, but I am not exactly reassured by that one word.
Hope all goes well with Dan today. The family is in our prayers
You too, Rose
11:29 am on May 4th, 2012
Hello all. We were busy all last evening, so only just got caught up now. Best wishes are with Rose and Dan. The reason we were busy is that we were providing assistance to the v-e-t who was here again for Shiek. He seemed to be colicing (mild). Mom reluctantly went to work today and horror of horrors! Pop locked us up indoors so we can’t even watch over Shiek for Mom. Said something about severe thunder storms, but we don’t hear any thunder. We think Pop is losing it. And Mom took Kat with her…she says Kat will spend the day at Kamp. Why does she get to have all the fun?
Before Mom even knew that Shiek is sick, she was grumpy yesterday because she learned that her office is being relocated to a terrible place with a worse commute. We are wondering if there is enough room under the quilt for Mom and Shiek?
11:40 am on May 4th, 2012
There is always room under the quilt. The quilt has many magical features and unlimited room is just one of them.
11:43 am on May 4th, 2012
Good thing that is a big quilt, now we have Rose, Dan and Shiek, plus Oley’s mom. Anyone else? Macy maybe?
11:45 am on May 4th, 2012
O.Howlers: Always enough room under the Quilt! It is all encompassing. Come on under Shiek, and Mom: Too bad you can’t work from home to avoid that long drive to the busy place.
Prayers from all for Dan to have the best of care and to be out of the hospital very soon.
Rest assured everyone – Rose is being waited on hand and paw by the Prof and the Smoochers.
11:49 am on May 4th, 2012
Here’s my update on my facebookie password getting hacked by someone in India: have no concern as long as you don’t have personal information there that you don’t want these guys to have.
I don’t have any personal information there other than my city, in case some old, handsome and rich male friend is looking for me. I had to change my password on another account that used my email address and that same password. I know, lazy on my part, but now it’s fixed.
There are a lot of sites on the Internet that sell software to hack into facebookie and get passwords. That seems to be an industry all in itself. People put lots of personal info out there, particularly birth dates. The hackers can get in and out in one try like they did with my account and then FB notified me but if I had data it would have been too late.
12:07 pm on May 4th, 2012
I mentioned the other day that someone tried to charge hotel expenses in Mexico on a MC card. Son Josh said he just had the same problem, only location was Georgia. What is going on? Lots of hacking. Hard to keep up with the crooks.
12:17 pm on May 4th, 2012
Thank Dog the credit card companies call us when something seems off!
Barb&Magpie: Was the credit card Favorite Son was using issued by the same company?
12:24 pm on May 4th, 2012
BSD, I don’t know but can find out. Our MC was issued by Sears, but can be used anywhere. Does it make a difference who issued it?
12:31 pm on May 4th, 2012
Barb, I don’t think it makes a difference who issued it because a bank will be behind a credit card like Sears or Amazon. I have a Defenders of Wildlife card but a major bank is really in control of it.
12:39 pm on May 4th, 2012
Bee- what is the Statius of Kats in Stovernia?
It could all be in our imagination, but didn’t Macy say recently that her family was going somewhere for a few days?
Melanie called – Dan has colitis and will be in the hospital for a couple of days until they can get the bleeding stopped. Then he will go back to the nursing home. Melanie and Zoe are on their way home. We are sure she will fill you in more later.
All our best to Sheik. We love horses, especially magnificent, elegant ones like him
12:41 pm on May 4th, 2012
Hiss, spit…..dam ipaw.
Status … Not Statius
12:52 pm on May 4th, 2012
Good Afternoon All!
I am back home after the lightning bolts. The Prof and the Smoochers are here with me snuggling under my Wizard of Oz quilt. I am receiving soothing paw message from my good friend Masquers, gentle mothering from Luna, and Belle Starr has her favorite place on my lap.
My prayers to Dan for a speedy recovery. Melanie and Zoe, my thoughts are with you.
Sammie, I am so happy that you will get to see your girl this weekend!
I am missing Macy…
Rebecca, please check your SDD. The possibility is getting a little stronger…
B, did you have Swedish Fish for breakfast? 🙂
OH: Sorry to hear about Shiek. Prayers that he is back to good health soon.
Again, thank youse guys for all your support!
12:54 pm on May 4th, 2012
Basil and Sage: All cats are welcome in Stovernia and are also allowed anywhere.
12:56 pm on May 4th, 2012
Rose: Glad everything went well. I’m having Swedish Fish for lunch.
1:00 pm on May 4th, 2012
Barb: Probably makes no difference who issued the card…just wondering if it was the same bank.
HerbKats: Error? What error. It always reads correctly to us.
Just received an email from B&N: “Spoil Mom With Surprises…Riveting New Reads She’ll Love” Gasp! WWBS say?
1:02 pm on May 4th, 2012
For Rose from the Smoochers.
1:03 pm on May 4th, 2012
Note from Admin to the ruler of Stovernia: typo fixed.
1:05 pm on May 4th, 2012
We just received an emailed invitation to BlogPaws in SLC. Wonder if we could practice our new blurring skills (thanks Wolfie!) and attend! We’ll show him some unruly followers. Wail til he gets a load of Katzilla!
1:14 pm on May 4th, 2012
Thank you Admin. And I like your avatar.

Chet: Best avatar ever.
1:39 pm on May 4th, 2012
Love Chet’s Avatar!
Rose, feel better soon. Sam, I’m glad your girl will be coming home soon. Mechanical Engineer Nephew feels the same way about his girl. She’s coming home soon too.
Later I will remember to put a website up that you can see about internet crimes.
I have always thought of our quilt as being like the tent in HP4 that the Weasleys and Harry take to the World Quiddish Cup. Looks small but when you are under it there is room and more for all.
Dan is doing as well as can be expected. The nurses have fallen in love with him. Even though he is bleeding his vital signs are all normal. No fever!
Need to rest.
1:52 pm on May 4th, 2012
Love the avatar, Chet!
B, I hope there will be Swedish Fish in Stovernia. Enjoy your lunch! 🙂
Masquers, thank you and the rest of the Smoochers for the post…I love it!
2:07 pm on May 4th, 2012
Melanie, Glad to hear that it is something correctable with Dan.
Rose, rest and relax under the quilt.
Sunny and hot here, still wondering where the thunder storms are that they keep talking about. They had our whole state in red – high risk – on the morning news. We are not wishing for it, just wondering.
2:07 pm on May 4th, 2012
Rose: I am sensing a tend here. Swedish Fish to be the official snack in Slovernia?
What say you, Empress B?
Melanie & Zoe: Get some rest!
2:30 pm on May 4th, 2012
Bear, I am laughing here at your Swedish Fish comment. 🙂
2:40 pm on May 4th, 2012
The official snack of Stovernia is chocolate! Swedish Fish is the official appetizer.
We had thunderstorms here last night and it’s been hot, muggy and overcast most of the day. Everything is damp.
Melanie: Love the HP4 comparison. (I always love that tent.)
2:45 pm on May 4th, 2012
Labor!….My friend has been breaking rocks in the hot sun…snort!…Or is that called gardening? Anyways, she’s been doing all the hard labor of unloading stuff from the trunk and digging out dirt and placing heavy stones in a walkway, filling a raised bed with top soil and crap. Sheep and peat crap to be exact…grunt!…Smells amazing. Beau and I have been helping in many ways, by being right there under-foot at all times…chuffle!..Early this morning those two had to leave and go get all the heavy gardening stuff. Then they had to go get some more. Later they have to get even more..sniff!…But for now everyone is inside cooling off and contemplating lunch…gurgle!
2:52 pm on May 4th, 2012
Let’s see some pictures, Rio!
We don’t have sheep crap, just chicken crap and goat crap, but I think it works pretty much the same. I much prefer old crap (compost) to Roundup. We love the feel and texture of good compost, but then we are easily entertained.
2:53 pm on May 4th, 2012
Years!…Well,well,well…sniff!…Chet finally got his Avatar…heh!…That only took a couple of years, not bad!…chorkel!
2:54 pm on May 4th, 2012
Dan!…The Man!…snort!…That guy just can’t catch a break, can he…sniffle!…I hope they are taking good care of him. Get well Dan…wuffle!
2:57 pm on May 4th, 2012
Lunch!…Woooooo!Wheeeee!…snort!
3:07 pm on May 4th, 2012
Riö, it sounds like you’ve been very busy. I wish the Newf Pack was as helpful with the gardening.
So my brother works for something in the gov’ment and one of his dudes sent around the following. I think that it is useful for all.
I’ve included an important link for any of you who have been, or think you might have been the victim of an online crime.
You can report the incident to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at this link –
http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
I hope you never have to use it.
Be safe out there!
3:10 pm on May 4th, 2012
Forgot: Someone mentioned an email from Barnes and Noble (I think) that misused “read.” They are always doing that and I ignore and delete the messages….immediately.
3:12 pm on May 4th, 2012
We had said Jeff Daniels would make a good Bernie, and someone said he would be too old. I guess he is older than he looks – 57, as compared to Gerald Butler at 45. He played the father in Winn Dixie about 5 years ago, and he looked like he was in his 40’s.
3:44 pm on May 4th, 2012
B: Chocolate a Good Choice…except I can’t have any. Same with the little fishes. Grump.
3:49 pm on May 4th, 2012
Arrrgggghhhh! Mama has been on the phone arguing with people. Her health care insurance company switched her to another provider with a lower premium. Only problem – the other provider doesn’t have any doctors in this area. The closest network doctor is 98 miles away.
The original provider admits it was a mistake – they mixed up someone else’s request with Mama’s – there is only ONE group provider in our rural area, so we never made a request to transfer. So she is being transfered back in to her original provider BUT NOT UNTIL JUNE 1!!! The provider swears they can only make changes on the first of every month – they switched her off on May 1st, and the only way she knew that was when she went ot get a script refil yesterday and they wanted to charge her almost $100 for it when it should be free. So until June she is just SOL on seeing her doctors or getting her prescriptions. We repeat – ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
Sorry – we just had to vent……………
3:54 pm on May 4th, 2012
T & G, It could be normal that switches are done the 1st of the month. However, this was a mistake, and not something you requested, so it should be retroactive back to May 1s, with no break in coverage.
4:19 pm on May 4th, 2012
Dawg-Daze!…Lunch flew by fast and then those two were out the door again…sniff!… Beau and I took the opportunity to watch our favorite soap while they were gone…heh!….Then they came back with more dirt and crap…sniff!sniff!….After my friend unloaded everything again, she said that was it for the day. Beau and I were especially helpful until he got his toe stepped on and left the party mad…heh!heh!…Maybe tonight when it is cooler she will finish spreading the crap and dirt out there…wheeze!…Maybe not.
Projects!…Now! We are finally downstairs and she is going to start working on some special projects for the Spring Boutique…snort!
4:30 pm on May 4th, 2012
Just finished New Tricks by Rosenfelt, so now will be dropping it off at the library and ordering the next one. This one was very good too. Love the Andy character, since he is a total dog person. He is a Petter for sure. Waggy, the Bernese Mountain dog puppy character is a hoot.

4:31 pm on May 4th, 2012
Oh no, how did that happen! It has happened to us recently on 2 different computers.
4:34 pm on May 4th, 2012
Rio, would love to see pictures of all the landscaping you and Beau have been helping your friend wih.
4:43 pm on May 4th, 2012
Rio and Beau, You do know what you are suppose to do with the crap your friend bought…roll in it.
Mom plans to stay in Stovernia. She likes Stover’s choice for official snacks.
5:29 pm on May 4th, 2012
Mom can’t wait to move to Stovenia, with the official food being Chocolate!!
5:33 pm on May 4th, 2012
Chocolate! I want to go to Stovernia too. I just hope the Professor doesn’t bring in the Electoral College.
5:41 pm on May 4th, 2012
I’m cracking up! Since Stovernia is a dictatorship, there is no Electoral College.
5:43 pm on May 4th, 2012
Melanie, Any idea how long Dan will be in the hospital? Is he feeling well enough to enjoy the extra attention he is getting?
6:06 pm on May 4th, 2012
Chocolate and Swedish Fish….who could ask for anything more? : )
6:16 pm on May 4th, 2012
Yippeee!…Someone just found her printer cd…heh!…Now she can load the software and use her printer again…chuffle!…Youse guys have not idea how big this is because all of our stuff is packed away and dawg knows where most of it is…heh!
6:23 pm on May 4th, 2012
Rose: Check your SDD.
6:24 pm on May 4th, 2012
Can there also be chili cheese fritos in Stovernia? We’re not much on sweets – we prefer salty. That’s why we like Rio so much.
giggle
6:43 pm on May 4th, 2012
Basil and Sage: Sure.
6:54 pm on May 4th, 2012
I would like to make a motion that all illness and pain be outlawed forever in Stovernia!
6:57 pm on May 4th, 2012
I know! I know! I know! I am betting that Riö’s friend is making “Riö’s and Beau’s Sweet Compost”. It will be in bags with quilling on them!
Barb and MagPie, Dan is being great, but he does not like being in the hospital. He is looking forward to going to the rehab place tomorrow.
We just finished “Men in Black”. Riö’s first acting role . . . (swoon)
7:20 pm on May 4th, 2012
Melanie: There is a Men in Black III in 3D on the horizon and Baskin-Robbins is introducing a MIB ice cream.
Will Dan be returning to his Executive Suite?
7:34 pm on May 4th, 2012
Hey, y’all! Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with you!!!
7:34 pm on May 4th, 2012
Hmmm, I think I sort of know that because someone close to me was an extra ..
YSAS has landed in NJ! He says “Have no fear! The Best Man is here!”
Snort!
Well, he was moved from the Executive Suite and feels he has a better view at the Rehab.
7:41 pm on May 4th, 2012
We will be ordering Dog Tags next from the library. Does it bother anyone else when there are mistakes in books or is it just us? In this one, New Tricks, which was very goood by the way, Andy goes to a dog show and is shown around by a handler. She says these are all working dogs. Then they go over to her booth, where she has an Australian Shepherd that she is preparing to show. Now we all know an Aussie is in the Herding Group not the Working Group. I know, it isn’t a biggie, but still!
7:42 pm on May 4th, 2012
Crap!….Heh!…If my friend could package our crap and sell it she would be a very rich person…snorkel!
Outside!…Again to help dig holes…Woooooo!…Back in time for the game to start at 6:30 SiberH!…snort!
7:50 pm on May 4th, 2012
Dog poop is not suppose to make good fertilizer.
I’m ready for the game to start. Atlanta will go down in flames.
8:00 pm on May 4th, 2012
Barb&Maggie: Typos are our thing…and it seems every book has them.
Rio: Stuff for Sale…We know what you mean…and even at a few bucks a piece could bring in a tidy sum.
Melanie: Extra! That’s right! Just tell us what scene to be on the lookout for in MIB. We’ll be buying that DVD for sure.
Please check your SDD when able.
8:02 pm on May 4th, 2012
Ijust realized the above sentence is in very bad taste considering what happened during the Civil War.
8:13 pm on May 4th, 2012
Got it BSD. Too tired to concentrate tonight. I’ll be back tomorrow.
TTFN
8:14 pm on May 4th, 2012
Dinner is over and the dishes are done. Ma and Pa are both sitting in their chairs reading…well, mom is reading (audio books) and dad is snoring with earphones on.
Get better, Dan. Anything illness an “itis” on the end of it sounds like it hurts.
Shiek, you too. Get better soon.
8:16 pm on May 4th, 2012
Rebecca: Checked and responded!
8:21 pm on May 4th, 2012
Barb! …You should email the author and let him know about that error..snort!…Maybe he will reply, you never know!…heh!…My friend did something like that a long time ago to one of her favorite authors and much to her amazement he did respond…heh!heh!
8:22 pm on May 4th, 2012
SiberH, don’t worry. Their hockey team is the Atlanta Flames.
8:27 pm on May 4th, 2012
Barb: Wrong things in books bugs Mom lots! She just finished reading a book about a scrapbooking group that solves a murder. One of the things — and there were many — that bothered Mom about the book was this: The day of the “suicide,” which was later found to be murder, the group found the victims’s scrapbooking stuff on the curb waiting for trash pickup. So they decided to take the stuff and finish the scrapbooks for the victim’s four children. The police found out they had it and wanted to check everything. One of the scrapbookers asked if they could have everything back after the police were finished with it so they could complete the scrapbooks. So the police made copies of everything — including letters from one of the victim’s lovers and a photo showing the victim and another lover in a compromising position — and then they gave the originals back to the scrapbookers. Say what? What police detective in his right mind would give evidence away?! It was the first book of a series — needless to say, Mom won’t be reading the rest!!!
8:29 pm on May 4th, 2012
OK, I’m in moderation. I’ll try again — I hope I’ve figured out the bad word!

8:36 pm on May 4th, 2012
I’m being moderated for my last comment — and a second try at it! So here’s another version. We’ll see if it works.
Barb: Mom hates it when there are obvious errors in books. The one she just finished has a scrapbooking group finding a victim’s scrapbooking stuff being trashed, so they decide to finish her books for her children. When the police find out they have her letters and photos, the women give everything to the police, but ask to get it back so they can finish the scrapbooks. So the police make copies of the evidence and then give the originals back to the scrapbookers. Huh?! It’s the first book in a series, but Mom will absolutely not be reading any others!!!
8:36 pm on May 4th, 2012
Sammie!…heh!snort!heh!…Braves are going down!down!down! in a ring of fire…snort!
8:37 pm on May 4th, 2012
Barb: I’ve tried to tell you about a book Mom just finished, but three versions are in cyberheck! I don’t know what the bad word is, but I’m not trying again!
8:43 pm on May 4th, 2012
Photos!…For those of youse wanting photos of the work they did today…snort!…Not gonna happen. She says after they actually plant some flowers and stuff, maybe…sniff! …Nothing looks very pretty right now, except for the project she almost has completed for the Spring Boutique!…wheeze!…Its kinda pretty, even Beau thinks so…heh!
8:51 pm on May 4th, 2012
Howlers: tell your mom and Sheik to check out the blanket fort (aka the executive suite) under the quilt. It really is something.
I received a compliment today. A gentleman external to my organization that I work closely with on a project called. He said that my name came up as a possibility for a director level position in a very large company that we also work with on the same project. He said he would talk with me about it, but already knew my response. He told them I am very loyal to my current employer an they would be hard pressed to offer the intrinsic elements I have now. He nailed my response. I told him I was flattered that my name even came up. As Coach would say: it is always nice to be invited to the party even if you don’t want to dance.
8:52 pm on May 4th, 2012
Project!…By the way, you will not get to see this finished project till the Grand Opening of the Spring Boutique….snort!
8:55 pm on May 4th, 2012
Rebecca!…Scores a Homerun!….Woooooo!….Johnny Dirt in His Pants Herrera only gets a Double!…heh!…Way to go Rebecca! Way to stand out above the crowd, you Giant you!…snorkel!
9:02 pm on May 4th, 2012
Executive Director sounds pretty snazzy, Rebecca.
9:03 pm on May 4th, 2012
Loaded!…Bases are loaded for the ToddFather….Wooooo!…Can you do it? Can he hit another Grand Slam?…snort!snort!
NO!…But he did bring in two runs!…Wooooooo!
9:06 pm on May 4th, 2012
Siber-H: I liked your Atlanta comment. You sounded very confident and that’s a good thing.
9:06 pm on May 4th, 2012
Rebecca!…I’m glad you didn’t take that job because you would never have any time to spend with us peons if you did…grunt!
9:12 pm on May 4th, 2012
Rockies lead 5 to nothing in the first inning!
9:15 pm on May 4th, 2012
SiberH!…Its kinda nice for a change, huh?…heh!heh!…WOOOOOOO!
Tired!…We’ve had a big, big, busy day filled with a lot of work, but we are having a blast so far watching this game…snorkel!…My friend and I are downstairs where it is about 20 degrees cooler than upstairs. Beau won’t come down and join us for some reason…heh!…He’s huffing and puffing up there all hot and bothered..sniff!…Dummy!

It is hot here too. I’m laying by the open front door watching the game.

Hot!…I’m laying with our Lucky Rockies Official MLB Baseball…heh!…She says during the games I can guard it, but I cannot lick it…sniff!…That is a very hard thing not to do…wuffle!

That’s right Rio. You were the one who had to lick the World Series trophy last fall, I seem to recall.
Rio’s suggestion to contact Rosenfelt is a good one. He does respond to emails (my dad had sent him one once and his response was very gracious).
By the way, Swedish Fish have been a big favorite at Casa Wookie for a long time. Dad often gives mom a big bag of them on special occasions like Valentine’s Day, their Anniversary and her Birthday.

Heading off to bed shortly. Tomorrow morning we are going to make a rhubarb pie, with rhubarb from the garden. Then Barb is taking off for Lake Geneva. Birthdays for Ben 6, and Jackson age 3. Adults will eat some pie, but there will be cake for the wee ones.
Barb is leaving me home, and Jordan, the v e t tech and my buddy, is coming for a sleep over. We will have fun. She has been reading C & B and loves them.

Wookie!…Do you happen to have that Historic Photograph?…heh!…Someone still needs to move photos from the old computer to the new computer…grunt!…She couldn’t even get the printer software to load, so my hopes are low at this point…sniff!

I will personally buy that Rockie’s pitcher a bus ticket back to Colorado Springs.
Only Rhubarb pie would make mom feel better.

G&B: I almost snorted the chocolate shake I bought as a reward for doing well in a big meeting today through my nose. Had! Ha! Belle Starr is certain to think that the picture was also meant for her. If she’s having trouble wrapping her brain around her friend, Kat-dog Masquers, I don’t want to try an explain that she is more like 1/10 siber and 9/10 not siber.

Maskers!…He will always be a Jazz Musician slash WeatherKat in my eyes…grunt!
Rebecca!…Did you do the Circus Act like Beau does in the big meeting?…heh!…It always gets a laugh around here…snort!
10:30 pm on May 4th, 2012
OOOMMMGGG!..Johnny Dirt In His Pants Herrera just hit another HOMERUN!….WOOOOO!!!…This guy never hits homers and hes done it twice this year so far….snort!snort!…I love watching Johnny up to bat, he is so much fun!..heh!

Gus&BooBear: Funny photo of the Sibe!
Kirby: Somehow I missed your clever Happy Star Wars Day comment. Good one! (better late than never, right?)
Barb, have a great weekend. Maggie will take good care of things at home.
Rhubarb pie is a big favorite that has not been on the menu for a while now…have to do something about that…and soon.
We are winding down here too. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo brunch with the DIL.
Good Night Everybody – Bear

Rebecca!…My friend says I have to say I was “kidding” about the circus act remark…grunt!wheeze!…She took my official MLB ball away too…grumble!

Barb and Maggie – have a good time at the birthday party. Did a certain package arrive in time?
Bella – good on ya – that is a nice compliment.
Belle Starr’s identity crisis reminded us of one of our favorite jokes –
The little polar bear asked his mother “Am I a for real, honest to goodness Polar Bear?”
“Of course you are dear”, his mother said. “See your beautiful white fur?”
“Are YOU a for real, honest to goodness Polar Bear, Mama?”
“Of course dear – see my white fur and big giant paws?”
“Is Daddy a for real, honest to goodness Polar Bear?”
“Of course dear – why are you asking?”
“Cuz I’m freezing my a s s off!”

Sniff!…I don’t get it…grunt!
10:50 pm on May 4th, 2012
ToddFather!…snort!…Just hit another double!…Wooooo!…Is it just me, or does the team do better when She has the Official MLB Rockies Baseball?…grunt!
10:56 pm on May 4th, 2012
If that is the case, let her keep the ball.
T&G That is funny. I get it.
10:58 pm on May 4th, 2012
SiberH!…Wakeup!…sniff!…Isn’t it amazing how many fans show up to each and every Rockies game?…heh!…Makes me feel good all over..chuffle!
11:00 pm on May 4th, 2012
Joke!…I still don’t get it…grunt!
11:06 pm on May 4th, 2012
Rio. I am getting too sleepy to explain the joke…maybe T&G will.
Yes, the Rockies have better fan support than some of the other teams. They said Sunday’s game may be a sell out.
I was watching some of the fans and a few of them seem to be eating through the entire ballgame.
11:23 pm on May 4th, 2012
zonk…We are falling asleep, but GO ROCKIES!!!
night all
Macy, please check in.

C.Hobbit Harris!…I’m concerned about our Alaskan friend…sniff!…She is getting ready to retire soon. She is probably running around like her Hobbit Head is cut off…heh!…Not literally of course, but figuratively…wheeze!..I wish we would hear from her. She contributes so much to this here blog…wuffle!
11:38 pm on May 4th, 2012
Ugh!…Game is tied, 7 ta 7 and someone here, not me! is so tired she can hardly keep her eyes open…sniff!…So we should probably say Goodnight!…whuffle!
Renters!…She has to go over there tomorrow morning, Early!, to turn on, program, and adjust the sprinkler system…sniff!…That ole system is on its last legs, but she refuses to see the truth…grunt!
