Aside from my very presence here on a Sunday, I’m not going to harangue you about donations or comic cons or any of that folderol. I just want you to enjoy this Arlo & Janis strip from July, 2007.

Here’s one for Ghost. https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/s480x480/13876506_10153902729784150_2642004914573263532_n.jpg?oh=1eeccb611b8453ef4498de85efaba06a&oe=581088C0
Sorry to hear your mom is having problems. Hope she is over all that very soon.
Land a mercy, the moderator thinks I am advocating drugs? I typed Coke for cola!
Ghost I am so sorry for what your mom is going through and for what you are too. She has a wonderful loving son in you. Both of you are blessed to have each other. I am struggling for what to say and that is surely rare. I know I will never know the love from my children you have shown your mother and while I did my best with my mom to make her last years enjoyable I did not face the constant health crisis you are.
So maybe I do think you are a special ghostly being but it is nice with all the bad things we hear about daily to know at least a few good ones exist.
Thank you, Jackie. I am humbled.
Yes, Mark, the Crown Vic is all that and more. There’s a reason why those are the only cars I’ve owned for almost two decades.
As us car salesmen used to say when asked the difference between a Gran Marquis and a Lincoln Town car, “Twenty thousand dollars and some sheet metal.”
Think nicely of my Tuesday morning, if you would. My VA doctor is sending me for a cardiac stress test because the EKG they took on my first visit showed the possibility I had a heart attack at some earlier time of my life. It is scheduled for 730 am Tuesday morning and I can have no caffeine for 24 hours before. Good thing I have breakfast at 630 so at I will get that tomorrow morning. But no Coke Zero or iced tea with lunch or dinner. As Charlie Brown used to say, “Auggghhh!”
Good night all.
Good luck Mark. It seems that we are all having our trials. As for me perhaps I protest too much.
“…the possibility I had a heart attack at some earlier time of my life.” Good luck, Mark. That’s the kind of surprise finding we can all do without.
Due to a strong family history of cardiac problems*, I have seen a cardiologist annually for several years. I told him when I first began going to him my goal was to be his least interesting patient, ever. So far, that has been the case.
*A major reason why I’ve spent all those boring hours** on a treadmill at my gym.
** Well, boring when there is no eye candy present. 😉
Debbe 😉 I’ll bet you were one.

Mark you know I am wishing you well. Do not let them push you into another heart attack. I hate cardiac stress tests, especially those nuclear ones. I think they’d have told you if it were one?
You can do it, you are getting control of your health again and this is just part of doing that.
Good morning Villagers….
GR, now come on, I’m not that contagious…or am I 🙂 Praying your Mom starts feeling better….Amen
Steve, don’t remember where I picked up knowing that rolling up your clothes helps prevents wrinkles….I so anal about my laundry that I actually hang all my T-shirts.
Mark, yes I will say a prayer for you tomorrow….had to do one of those stress tests only once, and I thought they were going to give me a heart attack.
A crises at my hen house…the steel rod conveyor has started rusting again and is making marks on the egg shells….and I sure don’t want The Corp coming out again…they actually made us stop packing one day and sand down the conveyor. So, come this morning, Ian and I will wipe it down (98 percent humidity here), put a fan under it, and then hopefully start bringing in the eggs. Then, after production, start sanding it down….going to be a long, hard day. Skittles better be there this afternoon, because the two of us (especially me) can’t do this alone.
Jerry, I love your determination….it is greatly admired. Pray I can keep mine.
…have a blessed day everyone
GR 😉 and yes I was…thought you’d like to hear this, this morning.

Love and prayers for all…
Jackie, yes it is the nuclear type. The automated reminder call told me that much. Everybody have a great day.
Why, yes, Debbe, you are contagious…fun! 🙂 Be careful in the heat and humidity, hon. And thanks for the tune…and babes. 😉
On the way to check on Mom now.
Debbe, hang babe. I don’t know how you do it, but I know that you will.
It’s me again Margaret.
Happy Monday!
Prayers and good thoughts to all that need them. Ghost Sweetie, I hope your Mom feels better soon.
Thank, Jean dear. She is still not feeling well this morning and is off her feed. I talked to the attending about adjusting her meds. We shall see how it goes.
Ghost I lost my mom tragically 32 years ago today (she was only 61 and the driver of the other vehicle never was charged). I posted on Facebook my remembrance of her and a lot of folks expressed their shock, sympathy and wondered how I ever got over it. In truth, we all have our crosses to bear and go thru our own trials. I am not sure how I could take care of a parent like some of my friends do.
My prayers are with you and your Mom. You have been a good son and you have cherished her thru thick and thin (I;’m sure she has too) Hang in there and just keep showing her how much you love her. That is about all that we can do.
Thanks, Steve. I know I have been blessed to have her all these years, and what I do for her now is from love and, as best I can, to show my gratitude for that blessing.
Debbe 😉 The reason I said “thanks for the babes” was because I thought it was going to be the version with the videos of a bunch of Jersey Girls in their summer clothes. To me, “summer clothes” means bikinis and sundresses. Lately though, around here, the prevalence of sundresses seems to be waning and that of bikinis waxing.
TIP BlogSpot, gotta be one of the most benign nudes around, + a delightful ‘caption.’ [Technically, a legend. Pedants have to have fun, too.] Need to look up artist; am guessing early 20th C.

Peace,
Sideburns, I thought you (and other Navy vets) might find this amusing.
