There are problems with the discussion again this morning. Old discussions are unavailable, but at least comments are working for today’s post—for now. This is the same issue that first beset us late last week. I have some possible repairs I haven’t tried yet, but I don’t have time this morning to tackle this thing. I apologize, but rather than blunder around and crash the whole site as I did Monday, I’m going to take a more measured approach this time. I want discussion to be available, but the truth is, the vast majority of people who visit this site do not comment. For them life goes on. For those who want to comment, please be patient while I try to work out all the bugs.

Ah, Lily… it’s fun just to sit in the corner and observe… and listen… and learn – about hens… music… sci-fi… gardening… and – of course – pokies…
Pokey is the talking orange horse sidekick of Gumby. Never guessed this room would quoz into stop action clay animation.
Lily:
I’ve said this here before, but some days I put a lot of thought in what I write and figure that I will get a ton of reaction. Nada. Other times I might include a throw away observation and suddenly everyone is throwing their two cents.
However, if you make a typo, use grammar incorrectly or accidentally write something really stupid, you can almost guarantee to get a reaction. I seem to do the later more often than I care to!
But hey, we all love each other here. Ghost seems to love certain people more than others, but he loves everybody too!
Lilyblack:
We [people in general] are all members of one outgroup or another. And we all have a function, of sorts. E.g., some are here to leer at the ladies. I function as a picky pedant at times, but I try to do it nicely. If someone confuses its and it’s, I try to use them properly in my next post. Or if they say, “in the 70’s, the Beatles . . .”, I will find a reason to refer to the ’40s next chance I get. The N.Y.Times, by the way gets that one wrong.
I remembered that you had posted, but there’s nothing in today’s posts, above, and yesterday’s are now unavailable, I presume because of JJ’s computer problems. Anyway, hang in there. Peac, emb
Guilty as charged, Steve 🙂
I seem to recall once commenting (something to the effect) that I actually post here to entertain myself, but that if I entertain others in the process, that’s icing on the cake.
Gal! Did you say “pokies”? 🙂
Debbe 😉
Steve: Do you perhaps mean “latter” rather than “later”?
I’d like to point out before we get a new retro strip that what Luddie was doing in the last panel was exercise.
Good morning Villagers….
Glad that thunderstorm is over….too close for comfort, when the dusk to dawn light goes out, you know the lightening was too close!
Gal…hens 101 is me…who would of thunk 5 years ago I’d be trudging through a poultry house, yelling out “bring me your dead”, and packing eggs…..I thought it’d be stress free, but it’s not…there are moments where I want to run away.
Lilyblack….do come back…..GR is harmless, and very enertaining.
See, I post in the am, and do a lot of rambling….nothing noteworthy. I look forward to my morning coffee and sitting down and reading all the comments….and I actually learn sometimes 🙂
Now, I want to know if this article is going to affect my old Dell: http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/gadgets/meet-next-generation-usb-cable-youll-be-using-soon-n70231
gotta go…
GR 😉
ya’ll have a blessed day
=^..^=
Debbe
The new USB cable in the article will have 0 (zero) effect on your Dell. Hope you are well.
Radgrad:
Yes I did. Matter of fact, I actually typed two “T”s, but my keyboard only felt one! But thanks for proving my point! lol
Debbe, I was not complaining about hens 101! I actually find it fascinating. I am afraid that when I was growing up and we had chickens, I never gave them a thought. I just gathered eggs and tried to stay away from that possessive rooster!
In fact, I find all those here who share their lives fascinating. And I thank you for sharing!
yeah, what Steve Royal Oak at 6:57 and others said, regards Lilyblack at 4:13 , eh, it’s all for fun. I post here very intermittantly and really try to make it about the retro or JJ’s comments. Except by Sunday night, it can really get off topic ALSO – once I made a silly comment that I figured 100% of people would take in the spirit given, but one person got really offended and snarky. Sheesh ! Need to learn to use the smiley emoticon. Sometimes I will actually spend a day thinking of a response to something here and even make notes to myself (I mean is that sick or what?) and then, ah forget it, it’s too late. Sometimes I wonder if anyone will respond to what I said, other times, It’s oh jeez, I hope no one notices what I said. So in summation, I asked my wife “am I the only one I know who likes Chickin in a Biskit?” and she said “yuch, what else do they have, Liver in a Muffin?”
and also, I do a lot of ebay, Amazon, Wikipedia and news sites, but this is the only place I do anything like this
Steve: Yup, that was the point behind my comment – or should that be “pokie”?
Thanks for the responses 🙂 Now I feel better
