It's not the Puffer in Tootle Puffer that turns me off, it's the Tootle.

I did learn one very important thing last night early on - that I will be glad once I get my eyes settled back down (cataracts) - since I have been reading the word Tootle wrong - still do not like it, but at least I know that I was reading it wrong. And I am not as strong against it anymore. Now I see why everyone thinks it is cute and funny. For now, when I read the screen I have to enlarge (zoom in) quite a bit - my doctor is telling me to have patience - I have promised I will...

Well, the hangout did keep the post count down last night, but it seems we will be making up for it today - talking about the great time we had... (LOL)...

Oh, and while quite a few people had already signed off - I got to let Debadoo here what I hear when I say her name out loud - it has a ring to it you know - at least in my head...

I didn't go, because there is not much more there than I can do here. Looks like you all enjoyed yourselves.

I asked about you - was hoping you were there - we did about 100 posts of conversation last night - saved a lot of reading. (LOL)... :D

I am making some major transitions in my personal life-- so my participation here is dwindling. Only temporary.

I truly understand about taking care of RL sometimes. I am sending you a prayer that the difficulties are minimal and extremely temporary.

Good morning! Sorry I missed everyone last night. I'm hoping for another chance soon. It seems a great time was had by all!

The youth of today have no good examples to emulate and even if they did they are too lazy to follow them. I personally have heard more than one kid tell another that they had a job interview but refused the job because it was "entry level". They want a position. View attachment 455355
My example was my grandmother. Youth isn't so bad except that they're young. IOW they'll outgrow a lot of stuff, and what will be left behind is the tendencies they got from their parents and teachers.

So, be a good example. And, show them the respect and honor that you want them to emulate.

And furthermore, can somebody defend "Tootle" with the same energy that they're defending "Puffer"?

It's not the Puffer in Tootle Puffer that turns me off, it's the Tootle.
Tootling along, as opposed to racing at break-neck speed. Sounds kind of mellow and laid back to me. The more common, less cutesy way of saying it is low wattage mouth-to-lung vaper.

Open Google+ in the top left corner click on home for drop down list click on Profile then click on your name then click on more options then add a nickname. Easy Peasey

Hey I was making $3 an hour well not then I was in the Army for about $120 or so a month. Big bucks. Of course all the meals, living quarters, clothes were all paid for even the laundry and some of the places I was stationed at had some pretty darned good food too. I just had to pay for beer and cigarettes a quarter for beer and 20cents a pack for smokes.Oh and all the medical and dental everything damned near except snacks. Hell we had it made and didn't know it.

Shucks, I remember back in the day working at a restaurant making $40.00 a week and paying $30.00 a week rent. Fortunately all utilities were paid in that rent, and I was eating a lot of food from the restaurant AND riding a bicycle to work because I didn't own a car.

Well here I sit in the waiting area. Appointment is at 7am. Bet I'm out and having breakfast by then. This is my 5th CT scan in 5 years. All at the same place with the same receptionists and techs. They all know me and it's kind of like old home week. Everybody is very pleasant. I also always get the first appointment of the day. Can't eat or drink before hand so if you get the first appointment you don't sit around starving while you wait. I'm going for breakfast biscuits at Chick-fil-a. They make the best breakfast biscuits around. At least in the fast food business. Hardee's are second. Getting Doree a chicken biscuit and I'm going to get me a country ham and egg and a bacon, egg and cheese. I guess you all can tell I am STARVING. This isn't fat around my waist, it's an Ethiopian famine belly!

That's pretty funny reading that in Ethiopia! Just wanted to drop by to tell you all that I'm having a fabulous time and I miss you! We only get WiFi when we sneak into the local hotel, but they know us well by now and don't even make us go through the metal detectors anymore. I'll check in when I get back to Texas next week. Thanks again for all your prayers and support!!!

I hope so. I would miss you if you stopped coming here.

I had a Cinco de Mayo previous engagement yesterday night, so, since I knew Google had not yet perfected the Cyber Margarita (although I hear they are working on it), I was unable to attend what sounds like the Spring Cotillion of 2015 .. however, I was thinking of all of you and I'm happy that you are happy ..
