August slouches on, with triple-digit heat indices forecast again today. It’s a good time for a sun dress; just don’t wear it outdoors.
It’s You

The missing folks are all out on the roads, trying to get to someplace special for the last holiday weekend of the summer. I know, I saw them all out there on the highway!
I will have to indicate when I stop by. 😉

This is some pretty sound advice. The floor is open for discussion, agreement, & rebuttal.
A few days ago, the Decorah North bald eagle nest fell out of its tree and is now a pile of possible kindling on the ground. There were no known casualties but any basement inhabitants had to be mightily surprised.

Well Forgive anyway.

Have you been watching “Old Faithful”?
What is the link, please.

Right. I am not eMb, but I just happened to have the link at hand.
cx-p: Too true about apologies. About the nest, the surprise is probably not that it fell but that it could get that big before reaching its proverbial last straw.

Have a happy and safe Labor Day folks. I will celebrate Labor Day Monday by working at time and a half. Yahoo.
Very true about apologies. Life is not always fair. We just have to let it go… and go on.
To paraphrase Arlo and Sir Mix-a-Lot (there’s something one doesn’t see everyday), I like that dress, too, and I cannot lie.
I saw an interesting variation today at Wally World…a sundress (worn by a cute redhead) that appeared conventional in front but like a halter top from behind. It also had an asymmetrical hem line. Very becoming. If it weren’t so late in the season I’d try to find some like it for Steals & Deals.
Ghost, there’s always next year!
If the cute redhaired girl (thanks Mr. Schultz) also had tousled hair, and the smile that might be bashful but is really a look of contentment; then I might suspect the crooked hemline and front to back appearance resulted from distracted dressing.
Careful out there kids. Distracted dressing causes three out of every four fond memories.
(Age not given in context, I’ve assumed consenting activity by all involved.)
Thanks c e-p
😉
I liked the stretch across the king sized bed cartoon because Ghost and I had just been doing that very thing. It took us so long to meet in the middle that Dickens races up first so he gets in middle first. He is a kissing dog who can’t control his likker.
About sundresses that I was hoping to wear, I won’t go there. I am losing weight still. Found out I am lactose intolerant and had to go on lactose free shakes. Now it appears I can’t tolerate the meal replacement entrees either. So I will have to change to diet using some shake supplements, fresh fruits, fresh vegs, fish and chicken. Which is how I lost the first 150 plus pounds. Slower.
Had to give up chocolate again so vanilla shakes only. This is for a long long time again.
Ghost refuses to let me be sad or depressed. So perhaps I should stay away. But I follow and read periodically those who post and Jimmy, strip. I told a nurse this week Ghost and I met in a comic strip, like Jessica Rabbit.
I wish I looked that good!
“Distracted dressing”? Oh, I think she was very aware of what she was doing when she donned that sundress. 😀
And yes, this redhead was of age. Although not excessively so.

Jackie, here’s something for you: https://www.mouseplanet.com/12180/Jessica_Rabbit_Drawn_to_Be_Bad
I had to look up that German word. Apparently it means flooring sanding machine rental.

Jimmy, today’s strip was just the laugh I needed to start my day. Thank you!
TruckerRon:
I studied German for the year that I was a chem major, and I recall very little of either.
However, my favorite German word has stuck with me: beschwendekeitsbegrenzung.
In English, it means “speed limit.”
😉
More importantly, Janis, are you wearing your famous yellow bikini under all that water?
