Let’s go waaay back today, all the way back to September, 1988. Arlo & Janis was such a different strip then. Obviously, it looked different. It was more than that, though. The relationship of the characters was different. However, I don’t think that has changed so much as it has evolved. The strip then was about younger people, and the writing reflected that. There were insecurities and pressures and unknowns particular to young marriage. I’m tempted to say that, being a cartoon, these things were exaggerated, but that’s not entirely the case. Even at the time, some readers noted that the marriage of Arlo and Janis was in trouble. What did I know? I was the frog in the pot of tepid water. (Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.)

I guess it depends on your definition of “Living”. Not sure if the Janis of 1988 would agree with the Janis of 2019 (almost 2020)
So I guess next year will be hindsight….(2020)

Our Tiger was diabetic, we gave shots for 2 years (30 years ago).
We closed off her Litter Box and in morning she let us know she had to go.
Put the paper in the urine stream, read the color, give proper shot – she did not mind.
( this group of Kitties does not even like oral meds. They have ESP. They disappear if you stand up to
get meds. Otherwise they don’t move, well if you rattle a bag.)
Keep honey on hand in case she does not use up insulin,rub on gums.
Tiger “stepped on the Rainbow” when we were not home.
Of course, the problem is in the way men and women use language. Janis wanted Arlo to say, “Gee, I don’t know. What do you want to do tonight.” Then Janis might say she was thinking it would be fun to go out. And on the conversation goes. On and on. Men just say what they mean, say what they want without all the “beat around the bush.” No pun intended.

wonderful issues altogether, you simply gained a emblem new
reader. What might you recommend in regards to
your post that you made a few days in the past? Any certain?
I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both
educative and engaging, and without a doubt,
you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few people are speaking intelligently
about. Now i’m very happy I stumbled across this during my search for
something concerning this.
I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else
encountering problems with your website. It appears as though some of the
written text within your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide
feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well?
This may be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before.
