Today’s old A&J reaches all the way back to 1988; I’m tempted to say it was a different strip then, but as I look further, it is much the same. Years simply have passed. As I write this Tuesday morning, there is a little over 24 hours left in the fundraiser. I’m not going to whip you, or spur you or exhort you to a final burst of effort. However, if you’ve been meaning to donate something to the parsonage/art center project and claim a reward, now is the time. We’ll be recapping this thing the rest of the week. Thank you!

Thanks Mark. Only place worse are tubs which is where I head next. And Jimmy got it right about Janis with the bath oils crawling out of slick tub. I have no idea where that panel is but I bet Ghost can find it!
The other night I thought I might be in tub a day or so before I was missed.
They aren’t actually satin but one of those new blends of synthetic fabric that aren’t supposed to wrinkle. They are almost as slick. I once bought satin sheets for a king sized bed and yes, you could definitely slip and slide!
Sounds like you either need grab rails for the tub or a helper to get you out.
Having no idea I was going to really need them I gave away all the handicapped grab rails when I remodeled house. I recently bought some new ones for trial but have not installed them yet. Also bought some that can go on and off ceramic to pack in travel bag for motels. I have handicapped on profile for motels but I like soaking tubs so don’t limit myself to official handicap rooms.
Right now I use my upper body strength to get in and out. Hey, I never thought I would be getting into tubs to soak at all! Or on my knees at all.
Off to buy bale of straw for chickens before feed store closes.
My mom had an awful afternoon and evening yesterday with pain from the pleurisy in her right lung. Then this morning, she was zonked out from the meds. Thankfully, she got better this afternoon, both pain-wise and zonked-wise, and was still doing well when I left her a short while ago. Every day is an adventure.
I too am wondering about Miz Charlotte.
For some reason, this Presidential campaign has begun giving me a recurring mental picture of two groups of early hominids, contesting a honeycomb by hooting and flinging poo at each other. I wonder why that could be.

Miss Charlotte usually comments or likes my posts on Facebook. It has been awhile, I will look. I am worried too.
Oh, and Jackie…

Yep, that was me. I had trouble getting the super structure over edge of tub rim to go over the side.
Jimmy, you could give me that one as my reward for the parsonage. Or any of Janis in the bubble bath soaking. I swear I did not take this up until a year ago and Janis is in my mind every second.
Just sent a note to Miss Charlotte on her Facebook page from all of us and especially from Ghost. The last thing posted was over a week ago, a photo of her in convalescent home with her daughter.
Hey, that’s what I need…a Book of Faces secretary.
Seriously, thanks, Jackie. I know Charlotte said her daughter was helping her post on her tablet, and since we haven’t heard from the daughter, perhaps it’s nothing serious. I do know rehab can be very fatiguing under the best of circumstances, so maybe that’s all it is.
I have daughters name and I am sending her a friend request so I can contact her. I just went through my Facebook life on Miss Charlotte’s likes. I am an entertaining person it seems. I try.
I hope it is just the tablet too. I have come to love her and yes, I wish I’d driven there.
Perhaps others of us can put a note to her on her Facebook page. Why did we not think of that? Mark just added a note.
Ghost, anytime but do not ask me to help you connect with women to date. I draw the line there.
Dunno, Jackie; I suspect you have impeccable taste in women, too…and I don’t mean that in a sexual way. 🙂
Trying to get some ideas for my fall wardrobe when I ran across yet another example of what’s wrong with 2016.

I don’t do FB, but thoughts and prayers for Charlotte. Peace,
Great news, I just heard from Miss Charlotte’s family and they say she is making great strides in the rehab facility. She is trying to learn the iPad tablet and is having trouble. But it sounds like she is reading posts?
Those who are friends might send her a direct message, I will, and convey best wishes of those who are like Ghost shy of exposing himself to Facebook.
Ghost, if you showed up in that on my doorstep I would either snicker hysterically or think Death had updated his look.
Why ‘his’? Peace,
What, you think Death would be a woman? We would want to live forever like the Earth Mother in peace.
More my style…

And yes, I do have a three piece suit, with both plain trousers and pleated-front-and-cuffed trousers. Used to wear them all the time but down to just the one now.
Debbe 😉 Pretty song, not so pretty band. 🙂

The pretty half of another band, in a photo that answers the question, “What *did* they wear under those mini-dresses, anyway?” The answer, of course, is “thongs”.

Lost my earlier post on subject of suits which is probably a good thing!
My favorite song of coursehttps://youtu.be/7wRHBLwpASw
