A smart husband, like a smart lawyer, doesn’t ask a question for which he doesn’t know the answer, not in the above context anyway. In reality, husbands ask many such questions, such as, Do you know where my shoes are? Well, you know what’s coming for most of us: winter! And it’s just Veteran’s Day.

Good morning Villagers….
No strip here, tried Susan’s suggestion…no go, sigh….
The Dark Side got nasty yesterday…got my hen feet slapped…..but being the better person, I will not retort, but boy could I….cluck, cluck. I always liked the bumper sticker that read, if you can read this, thank a Vet. Has anyone else seen that one?
Gal 🙂
Indy Mindy, I loved your post re the nursing home. Thanks.
Oh, I introduced Bugs Bunny to little Kyler yesterday evening (I’m babysitting tonight also, and he’s getting more daring…the two year old, not Bugs). Never thought of bringing up Bugs and all on the interweb.

Important List

Am I the only one in the country who dislikes seeing “Happy Veterans Day!”?
I don’t see it as a happy day.
I’m extremely grateful and humbled when I think of veterans, but using “happy” seems disrespectful, along with trivializing the importance of the day.
Mea Culpa….and you are right Outlander, ‘happy’ does seem somewhat disrespectful…but ya gotta admit the lolcat pic is cute 🙂
Debbe – we should all think about that one as we begin every day! The tongue “is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.” I used to remind my children of Thumper’s wise words (his mother’s, actually), “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothin’ at all.” 🙂
Outlander, my husband and I were talking about that yesterday when we were wished a happy…I think people don’t think much below the surface, most holidays wishes start with a “happy” so they blurt it out. I just think “yeah, I know what you mean”.
Debbie, when my nephew graduated from AF basic his father found a bumper sticker saying “my kid is defending your honor student’s freedom”.
My mother was born on Veteran’s day, before the end of the first world war. Even after that was over, it was Armistice Day before it was Veterans’s day and she thought, as a young girl, that the parades were in her honor.
In Chrome, I can right-click where the image ought to be, then select copy URL, then paste that URL into the address bar. That’s the only way I can see it, on any browser.
It’s a good one, though — worth the extra trouble.
Who knew we had so many techies here in the Village? 🙂
I placed a copy in JPEG of the missing strip in the comments of today’s A&J in GoComics:
http://www.gocomics.com/arloandjanis/2014/11/12
I will remove it when the problematic TIFF file gets replaced here. (Unfortunately, today GoComics is slow as molasses….)
JJ: I hope you don’t mind, as I intend no copyright infringement. As I said, I will pull it down when things get fixed here.
How about “your ‘most valuable players’ freedom”? Pigeon-holing takes many forms; honors students are real people, too, not just nerds or dweebs.
Peace, emb
emb, I’m aware of that. But that bumper sticker is in response to the plethora of “Proud parent of an honor student at XXX school”. Haven’t seen too many MVP bumper stickers
