I don’t have a lot of time this morning; it’s a travel day for me, and I must get an early start. I did want to leave you with this, one of my favorite “cooking” strips. Readers don’t have to wonder where I got this idea!

Janis has not learned the Great Male Truth of Grilling:
There ain’t no such thing as a dirty grill.
Safe travel JJ
I see by the old calendar on the wall that it’s time for me to make another “on topic” post.
Do any of you computer aces out there have any idea why the Bluetooth mouse for a Windows 7 machine (Dell 17R) would continual stop working, requiring me to remove the device and then re-pair it to the computer? And by continually, I mean about twice a week since the computer was new.
Oh, wait. That wasn’t it. Let me try that again.

Recently, Janis intimated that Arlo is an “old fool” when he showed some physical interest in her. Now she locks him out of the bathroom while she’s in the tub. She suddenly seems rather intolerant of Arlo and his ways. Wazup wit dat?
She’s older and getting weary of his old tricks.

Hi, Mindy. So you’re saying the honeymoon is finally over?
GR6, move up to a tablet. You only need a finger for input and navigation. I would recommend any Android device, a Google Nexus would be my first choice.
Ghost, she has a book in there….doesn’t want interruptions, even if pleasant ones. 🙂
I hope you’re right, Llee. But book plus bubble bath plus candle plus wine plus the expression on her face…I don’t know. Someone on TDS even made a insightful remark and linked to this cartoon:

I can sure relate to the look on Janis’ face, as I am sous-chef to The Man In My Life. Janis, wear an apron, girl
I hate baths, bubble or no. I am a shower girl unless I have to shave my legs, bleah.
Me, too, Lily. And minus the leg shaving part.
A possible answer to The Weather Channel’s declining viewership of its morning show…

Maria LaRosa reminded me of that early this morning when she showed up on camera at TWC, wearing…something…that looked a lot like a baby doll gown and gyrating in front of a weather map.
Re the link: Janis, go into the bathroom and lck the door
GR6, glad to hear you don’t shave the legs 😉 Though none here ever thought you an unmanly man.
As to Janis in today’s toon. I have seen references recently that May has been declared the international month of self stimulation. Might be Janis learned this on her smartphone and ….
GR6 – that 12/03/08 strip was the first thing I thought of when I read today’s strip. So don’t blame it on Gene being a toddler.
Actually, sand, that might explain the candle, the wine, her expression…and the locked door. Now if we just knew if the book she is reading is “Fifty Shades of Gray”.
Could be. It wouldn’t be the first time A&J has plowed new ground. So to speak.
Saturday Night Live did a take-off on an Amazon.com Mother’s Day commercial along those lines. I wouldn’t dare post the link to it, but anyone who is interested could google it. Funny, but definitely NSFW.
GR6, we have been lead over the years to presume the field has been well tilled.
lol, that SNL google was totally worth it.
Kristin Wiig is fearless.
believe me, anything Janis is doing will only make things better for Arlo in the long run, be it 50 Shades or just relaxing.
he’s seeming sorta needy, actually, and defining relationship health in random/determined-by-him terms.
I have only heard enough about 50 Shades to avoid it. It gets the raspberry on Goodreads.
I haven’t looked at The Weather Channel since it stopped being a weather channel.
In our world The Weather Channel is a cute little blue app on our phones and tablets.
Thought you would slip one in there Mindy….silent, but deadly….
On my way home, my neighbor down the gravel road was out tending his garden…..

Ghost: if there was a magic potion to make leg hair fall out and never return, I would never take a bath again
Lily, I have a hilarious story about Nair I’ll tell when I have time…and if I can figure out how to tell it while protecting the guilty.
