I intended to be here yesterday, and I would have but for technical issues. I still prefer a desktop computer for my work. It seems to me much more suited to the graphic manipulation that is much of my effort. However, the old Dell I’d been using was about 150 years old in computer years. Loading modern Web sites was excruciatingly slow and increasingly futile, and it simply was not powerful enough to run updated versions of some of the software upon which I rely. Worst of all, I couldn’t stream HD movies to run in the background while I worked! So, I purchased a new computer, the latest incarnation of the first computer I purchased back in 1994. I love it. However, the migration has not been easy, particularly getting my scanner to work properly. That’s what I was working on yesterday about this time. For now, it’s working, but it was working once before—perfectly—then my scanner vanished from my new computer’s “friends” list. So we shall see. For now, here’s Vince. We’ll talk more about him and the cartoons next time.

And at least not supposedly being carried to bed drunk. Me neither. As a grad school colleague used to say, “Nightie bunch!” emb
If I took three Benadryl tabs, I’d hibernate like a bear.
Jackie, they were on about the same time period, but Yogi was from Hanna-Barbera and Rocky was from Jay Ward.

No lectures on addiction to Benadryl but I take a lot of it! But only twice a day, when I get up and before I go to bed. For some reason my allergies are often worse in morning and I can’t get them to stop for anything. But I don’t keep taking it, take it just before bed to try to control overnight.
I was born with horrible allergies and Benadryl was first thing I began taking back in mid 1950’s. And here it is 60 years later and I am still taking! A lot of allergy meds have stuff in them I cannot take, so Benadryl is fairly innocuous.
No one will carry me to bed drunk, that is for sure! Haven’t had a drink of any kind for so long. Did I ever tell the story of my faithful assistant manager and I getting drunk on the Jack Daniels cake?
Back in mid 80’s these were expensive cakes, an alternative to a customized fruit cake in price. Large size was about $40 and they were sold in gourmet shops, expensive candy shops. Large size had a pint of Jack Daniels poured into if I remember right after it was baked. We sold a lot of them, our best seller.
So midnight Christmas Eve and she and I are closing down. There is one cake left. She was Baptist and I am dry by choice but we decide we are going to eat that last cake, we were exhausted and starved and we DESERVED to eat it!
And got totally giggling drunk on the cake. Mike called to find out if I was coming home in time for Christmas and I was so hilariously drunk he was coming after us. He read the contents and asked if either of us had thought to see how much alcohol we were getting eating a cake? No.
Love, Jackie
Thanks, Evan, for straightening me out on the bears. Now I remember too.
I make a mean rum cake (about the only baking I do, other than the occasional skillet of corn bread or loaf of beer bread) but I’m pretty sure all of the alcohol cooks out of the cake during the baking. Well, maybe not so much out of the butter-rum glaze that tops it. 🙂
By the way, here’s the original for Jessica Rabbit, I think.

That cartoon certainly had several elements in common with “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” especially the parts with the Wolf and Granny.
Honest, I only had one slice of GR6’s rum cake… Is there an officer, problem?
HB, eMb! Have as many more as suits you….
Good morning Villagers….

Hello officer. I’ll take $2.00 of regular and clean the windshield please.
He’s 80, she’s 26. Couldn’t that be dangerous? If she dies, she dies. A joke that came over with Eric the Red.

I love it when people get together and share opinions.
Great website, stick with it!
It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d definitely
donate to this superb blog! I guess for now i’ll
settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
I look forward to brand new updates and will talk about this blog with my Facebook group.
Talk soon!
Hey there would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re utilizing?
I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most.
Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at
a reasonable price? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
Definitely imagine that that you said. Your favourite justification seemed to be on the net the
simplest factor to take into account of. I say to you, I definitely get
annoyed even as folks consider worries that they just do
not recognise about. You managed to hit the
nail upon the top and outlined out the whole
thing without having side-effects , other people could take
a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about what. Regards
