I like this one, even if it is from just last year. Plus, it somehow seems to fit our ongoing discussion about content and advertising on the Web and about changes coming to the GoComics Web site. Probably you think I know a lot more about these changes than I’m telling, but I don’t. I don’t know more than you, although I am a lot more curious, believe me. I will admit to a brief conversation with Aaron Weber, the young man in charge of developing the new site, and he stressed that the changes will be far beyond cosmetic. Whether they are fooling themselves remains to be seen, but I do believe the folks at Universal Uclick are serious about exploring the future of “printed” comics. I am excitedly trepidatious, or trepidatiously excited. Mostly, as I stated yesterday, I will wait and see.

Yep, I remember Arlo making that mistake.
I finally got back to see P&PHS yesterday, 10 days or so beyond my regular 4-week schedule. A black bodysuit that appeared to be made out of yoga pants material with a loose ODG t-shirt over it, for you P&PHS fashion fans out there. (The shirt didn’t make her look military at all, though.)
P&PHS took one look at me and pronounced me shaggy. (Actual words: “OMG, how does your hair even grow that fast?”) I told P&PHS I had decided to take advantage of that and start wearing a man bun. P&PHS told me to get the hell out of her salon. (We’re like that.)
Her goodbye hugs are getting to be more fun. Not sure if that is due to my devastating charm or my generous tips. 🙂
How do you know she’s pneumatic?
My hairdressers assert I am their most attractive and definitely best dressed client. It may be because I tip 20 to 25 percent and distribute my brand new buying errors to them. They hug too
“How do you know she’s pneumatic?”
By observation…not to mention those hugs. 🙂
Merriam-Webster Dictionary: pneumatic

Ghost, hopefully not all the way into the squirrel fantasy. (Though that was fun.)
Since I am normally a 40-42 DDD or FFF if I can find them I wonder at the lingerie that promises you “two full sizes bigger” by pushing them higher. I have enough trouble with fitting tops a it is. I would prefer smaller,

Warmed to a blistering 69 here. I am hot actually in long sleeve tunic. Just tried to buy tickets to Mary Chapin Carpenter concert in Tahlequah and NSU website not being helpful.
Squirrel! Been around the Village for a while, eh, Smigz?
My calibrated Mk I eyeballs tell me that P&PHS most likely wears a 36C, and she is on the slender side.
Jackie, Millionaire Widow Lady, who was neither slender nor rotund, wore either a 38DD or a 40D. Ask me how I know. No, I’ll tell you. She would let me help pick out her bras, the only woman to ever do so. That gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
She also confirmed that she, and most women, could tell immediately when someone was checking out her chestular area. So I guess all of those years of me observing covertly were for naught.
I try to glance a second or less.
‘Blistering 69.’ Here, it w/b a while ’til we see 69° F again. Though, in ’73 I think, we had a few days of up to 70° in January: snowbanks melting, water flowing in the streets. Believe it was too short to yield significant flooding, but hell to have to readapt to single or even negative digits.
Peace,
I’d welcome a male helping pick out snythimg.! Have never had that experience unfortunately.
Bone thin I am still a 36DD. I actually would like to be bone thin again but doctor I saw yesterday agrees that is not a healthy goal for an anorexic fighting eating problems.
By the way, he thought I was doing remarkably well.
Very comfortable 75° at the moment. Expect this weather to last into next week. Will be training in New Orleans next week, even there the weather is forecast on the pleasant side. Following week in SF will be chilly, must remember to pack such that I can layer.

We’re in Pineola, NC, tonight. Came up for a taste of fall color. Good thing we got here yesterday – by tomorrow all the leaves may be two states away. Wind today has been steady at 15-20, with gusts 30-50 mph.; nearby Grandfather Mountain recorded one gust of 80 mph!
Headed for Asheville tomorrow to sample the wares of our friend the baker. If they’re half as good as they look on FB, we’ll need to do some serious hiking the day after 🙂
Are we all out tonight except me? I got dressed to go hear my friends play down the road and did not make it. But I will go tomorrow night and see them, have dinner and wine in nice restaurant without bar room smokers or drunks. They play all levels of gigs. They are so excellent, I wish I represented them, for better venues.
Have my Internet back for first time in months. My phone bills should go down I suspect.
Got tickets to Mary Chapin Carpenter. I have always loved her music, good song writer and lyricist.
Lowe’s had mums half price so I got enough for another bed.
Debbe 😉 I always thought this was a pretty song. Hope you can open the link.

The great Etta James, fabulous voice, and gawd, what a sexy show she put on with that voice. My theme song.

Good morning Villagers….
Got my Chrome back…now to get my bookmarks back.
Smigz, I have relation that live in Ypsilanti. Been up there once in my life…land is flat. Here, I like to refer to the land as the rolling hills of SIN.
Sandcastler, I like that term “potholes”
Got my replaced debit card and punched in the wrong pin number….dang if I didn’t have to call them and get it reset….couldn’t use it until then.

Debbe, it IS flat in this part of the state. Our Upper Peninsula, ie., Upper Michigan, is a lovely bunch of up and down. I’d like to move up there.
Good morning! Awoke to chilly weather, 58. I am bundled up this morning and by afternoon will be back to shorts and T-shirt. What down here is called stripper weather; start out in layers and spend your day slowly taking it off.
Debbe, the may be potholes, however, spellcheck thinks I am saying holes for pots. Machine intelligence is a confounding mess. I spend a fair amount of my days on these issues; machine learning and its algorithms in many ways are not as bright as a three year old. Still, that doesn’t stop those “intelligent” youngsters from foisting spellchec and the IoT on us. That IoT thing worked out well yesterday when someone used it for a DDoS attack. And don’t start me on letting software drive automobiles.
