It’s only gotten worse in the past 20 years, Vince! This is an interesting little series from 1993 that I will begin here today. I don’t think it has ever run on the Web site; maybe you can tell me. It generated a lot of interest when it appeared in newspapers though. It seems a lot of people could identify with having a special friend at the office.

is realist. The comic is > a handful.
Peace, emb
Assuming one finds the Kartrashians and/or their très grandes crosses amusing…
I wasn’t even thinking / the quips, just the models. And, to demonstrate that scientists don’t have one-track minds,

I wonder if the kids have gone to France yet. I wonder if Gene is still planning to go for his masters in horticulture. I wonder if he and Mary Lou are still diligently working on growing precious little things from lovingly planted seeds.
Oh Ghost, you sly dog!
Just to remind everybody: Friday the Thirteenth comes on a Thursday this month! Horribors!
Site’s been offline for a few hours, for all of us judging from time of last post.
Predicting lows 0 F-single digits above, highs 10-20F next few days. Few ” of snow on ground, enough that we got plowed out overnight. Welcome to n. MN.
Peace, emb
emb – I caught up earlier 4-is EST, but had nothing to add. Family drama and storage dilemmas took my attention away. According to my local Facebook friends, if I were to look outside, I’d see s**w as well. (I don’t approve of such language. 🙂 )
“s**w”: Lovely.
BTW, this is the difference btw. local winter and astronomical winter. It looks ~ local winter is here to stay, but one doesn’t know. Peace, emb
Yep, I also noticed the inability to get this page during the afternoon. Glad it’s back.
Jackie, Jerry, and others (including relatives) with medical concerns whether you’ve mentioned same or not: May the Almighty grant you some medical news for which you’ll truly feel thankful this month.
Tardy: indeed, thanks a bunch/herd/group to all you vets for your services.
Required nudity in some public facility? Never heard of such, but they’d never let me in, anyway, unless the proprietor had severely impaired vision! Medical people & facilities charge patients for the peeks they – the people & facilities – take….
Beer bread in the oven getting golden brown.
Forecast for tomorrow morning…100% chance of sub-freezing temperatures and thick-sliced French toast.
Debbe 😉 Jean dear 😉
What c ex-p said, Jackie and others. Still praying for you and yours, Jackie.
I thought the suddenly-changed-story-line of 9CL seemed vaguely familiar, and the dialogue indicates that it is indeed a rerun from when Juliette was between husbands. As does the fact that, as I recall, she was really bitchy when she was between husbands.
OK, I confess…I cut off the heel slice of the fresh-out-of-the-oven loaf, slathered it with real butter and orange marmalade, and ate it. And I glad; glad, I tell you!
GR6: You do realize that is Ruth’s mother, not Edda’s mother, who remarks about the ‘two cup sizes’ and such.
Today’s two TIPs: The TIP comic is Mark Gertler’s ‘Queen of Sheba’, which I will try not remember when reading The Song of Solomon. The BlogSpot is a Renoir nude that I gave up searching for after 70 pp. of 32 images / p., many of them different prints of the same original. I find neither Gertler’s style nor his model as attractive as the Renoir.
Probably would have not valued Renoir’s title if I had found it. He has dozens simply titled ‘Bather’, ‘Two bathers’, ‘Nude’, ‘Large nudes’*, etc. *They seem no larger than many of his others, but there are four in the painting. He has one model, Gabrielle Renard#, whom he names. One item is ‘Gabrielle with open blouse.’ She does well so attired. The TIP BlogSpot nude is slimmer than most, closer to my taste.
#No idea if Gabrielle is related to the founders of Fox News, or the furrier, I.J. Fox. I.J. Fox used to advertise via sky-writing above Manhattan: ‘I.J. Fox furs.’
GR6: Whoops, I conflated comic strips. Sorry. emb
emb, the title i found is NU DEBOUT. Chrome has a handy feature where you can right click on an image and a box will pop up with options. One option says Search Google for this image. That’s how I got the title here. You can also highlight names, etc and right click and then have the option to search Google for those.
Online translation says that Nu Debout means Standing Nude. Guess Renoir didn’t assign a catchy title so they just called it as they saw it.
GR6: Problem is I need to renew my Gocomics payment, and forgot to go to 9CL online since Sunday. Is it a rerun? I’ve followed 9 CL since back when the Strib still ran the comic, and don’t recall any visiting prof like this. I think the Strib dropped it during the cello in Belgium fling: (‘I’ve just cured [what’s his name)’s hiccups.’)
After all, Juliette is a faculty member again, and may be as bristly as ever on the job. Using idioms/phrases like ‘You must be . . .’ leaves an opening for the quick and bristly. My wife was rarely bristly, but she loved an opening like that. Maybe that’s where I got it.
My problem with GoComics is they have messed up their subscription database and lost mine! I renewed it in October with an end date of 10/19/2015. I’ve emailed them and included a PDF of the payment confirmation… and I have to advise you, emb, to double check your payment records.
Perhaps not, emb. Seemed strange she would be aggrieved over encountering a “squeeze” of her ex’s, since she’s been remarried for all these years. And it seemed quite an abrupt change of scene and story. Also, I thought she was still farming.
For some reason, “bristly” made me think of “not well groomed”, but I’ll not go there.
Good morning Villagers….
GR 😉 …..Heathcliff and jugs, you’re good 🙂
So, Mark, noticed you’ve been gone a couple of days, have you returned from “The Endless River”?
Have to work both Saturday and Sunday…too many weekend help want off…oh well, need the money as I need new tires and my Isuzu goes into the shop to get winterized…..and I have little Kyler three evenings next week…….somebody cry me a river…..(there’s a song there 🙂 )
Jackie, I pray your daily travels are safe.
later……

Important List
17. The greatest asset. Faith
Haven’t had time to read posts yet, site was down when I got home from Tulsa late yesterday afternoon but I was so tired I went to sleep and slept for 12 hours straight!
Mike is staying positive, the radiation takes 10 minutes and we don’t see chemo doctor until next Tuesday so things are going better. He got a pain patch to wear and we picked them up, along with back up oral pain meds.
We drove around looking at some fall foliage and he decided we would go out to Gilcrease Museum for lunch. Very white table cloth and avant garde menu, beautiful windows that look out over the hills and trees. Mom was wearing a stained sweat shirt and a jacket with huge hole. I said what the heck?
Mike wanted to eat their bison/buffalo burger which he and mom’s late baby sister had loved. Mom doesn’t eat anything too weird and I looked at menu and decided the buffalo chili and the buffalo burger was maybe only thing she’d eat! She got thru the chili but we brought buffalo patty home to the dogs.
In case you are ever in Tulsa, we have two world class museums, the Gilcrease and the Philbrook. Gilcrease has fabulous Native American collections and we walked right through one of main galleries to get to restaurant. Mom was having chest pains again, so she didn’t see any of it. I am going to go buy a “transport chair” so she can get pushed. Problem is who to push it?
Love, Jackie
Note to Ghost, the Buffalo Burger had bacon jam on it and now I HAVE to make some for Mike. I mentioned you had given me recipe and I printed 18 pages of comments and still didn’t get the recipe printed. He doesn’t find comments like that amusing at all, so I told him I would google one.
The infamous nude when in wet areas of exercise facility was located at the Hilton Hawaiian Village hotel. I doubt many of the tourists complied? I am not sure it was even open to them? Also not sure why no bras, since you’d have a lot of flopping unless you were fairly firm! And yes, I suspected some kind of recording even then but I wore so little at the beach it didn’t seem to matter anyway.
I missed you guys when the site was down. I found JJ’s Luddie strip yesterday really touching and sweet and yes, I cry and get upset at animals and cats killed on the road.
About 9CL, abrupt is right and rerun is right too I am sure. I figure the papers or the syndicate pulled the plug.
Love, Jackie
Debbe 😉 Well, her jugs were the first thing I noticed. 🙂
Today’s another day I’ll be ignoring the comments on TDS. I’m sure it will be all about I-love-online-banking, I-hate-online-banking, online-banking will lead to TEOTWAWKI, you’re a stupid-old-fogy-if-you-don’t-use-online-banking, etc.
Jackie, I suspect that if it had been your decision, Martine would have still ended up getting butt-stroked in the head.
So, am I correct in suspecting you went to the beach 96% naked? Since I lack enough info to do the math, that’s just an guesstimate. 🙂
