Hullo guys!
Me and Lee went on an 8 day silent meditation retreat!
Lee would get up in the morning and go eat oatmeal and grapefruits. Then she would wake me up and we'd do some yoga together. Then she went and did her thing and I would do napping meditation, snacking meditation, and walking-around-the-bed meditation.
Then Lee would come back in the afternoons and take me for hikes, just like the good ol days. One day we sat under an oak tree and watched hawks fly over the hills. Another day we followed a deer path through to a meadow and then sat and drew pictures for a while. It was cool!
There were so many good healthy foodstuffs and no meat! The best was a red bell pepper stuffed with rice and black beans that me and Lee want to try to make now.
Anysneech, aside from the sleep-tourettes lady next to us, it was a pretty great trip. I sure did miss the other bears though.

Nibs is back
Welcome back Nibs! You didn't miss much around here, just that I watched Paddington.
You must be exhausted after all that meditating. That sounds cool about sitting under a tree and watching those hawks. I'm glad Lee protected you from getting snatched by a hawk too - that would be scary.
I am impressed you drew. What did you draw? I bet it was cool!
Well, welcome back! All the bears missed your presence on the forums. Be sure to check out my post about Paddington when you get the chance.
Cheers!

Welcome back Nibs
Hi Nibs.
Schlop doesn't like mangoes so it is good he didn't come along - he would have had to pick the mango slivers out of the salad as is his wont.
I don't know what a caper is.
Well it's good to have you back.

Spoom
I heard Nibs is going on another meditation retreat this weekend.
Did you know Schlop is a meditation guru?
It's true - he is able to sit very still and he says the mantra "spoom" which is moops backwards. He is practicing to be able to find inner peace.
Oops - that was a typo, I meant to find the inner pea at the bottom of all his blankets!

Nibs in the Wild
Nibs is off on a spiritual journey in the Redwood forests - I figured while he is away I could keep track of all the pop culture ephemera that happens while he is venturing on the astral plane. Then when he returns to the hustle and bustle of malm life he can be all caught up on everything.
Thursday:
New trailer for Dark Crystal is being discussed, but flannel bears too scared of Skeksies to watch it without Nibs.
Friday:
Flannel bears make trek to Ikea to claim our free birthday meal and birthday blanket. In honor of Nibs' fast we took one of the meatballs and placed it under a tree.
Saturday:
Neil tweeting up a storm about the release of Schlop Omens, but sadly a lack of Ash tweets.
Sunday:
New Schlopzilla movie is out and Mothra is in it. I hope the moths of the forest are staying away from Nibs!
Monday:
Flannel bears caught up with last weeks TAR. Also Duddles wanted me to report that he liked the bing page today: https://imgur.com/a/K80koYY
Tuesday:
Bears in mourning about James' loss.
Wednesday:
Without Nibs' rooting support the Warriors lost game 3 to the Raptors in Oakland.
Thursday:
Heard a rumor that Entertainment Weekly is now becoming a monthly magazine - hope Nibs won't be too upset
Friday:
Bears watched the most recent TAR - Nibs will have a lot of catching up to do.
Saturday:
The Women's World Cup has started - Shnoodles was a little sad he didn't get to Shnood it but bears are still excited to root on Team USA
Sunday:
Tonys were on and here is the opening number
