Is Arlo a pedantic smartass or a smartass pedantic? There’s a current cartoon coming up later this week in newspapers that is very much in this vein. This cartoon from 2003 ran online not very long ago, but I’m away from my desk this morning and suffering connectivity issues on top of all, so I just grabbed something off the shelf. I do like this one. It’s very Arlo & Janis.

WOW! Is it THAT early? Blessings to everyone. Busy day.
God bless us every one.
I love tops. Have way too many. Picking what I wear daily is part of my ritual. I love colors, vivid, soft, monochromatic, contrasting. It is like my clothes are a canvas and I paint my body with the. A fun way to view it and I can be whoever I choose, so Janis I can relate to.
And my pedantic Arlo is gone, so no one to tell me stuff like this or worse.
I’ll copy this from the previous post:
My wife’s publisher is offering her first series of books free for those with a Kindle. She recently won a prestigious award and is nominated for another. These books, especially the last one, will be good background for a book that will come out this fall, Forgiveness. She also published another book, Devotion, a couple years ago that involves many of the same characters. So this is a promo to help generate sales for a couple more of her books.

The bird feeders are looking fantastic. Not finished but great. Not high style but fun, a red and white one, a yellow one, a blue one, six in all. A beautiful white metal church, red barns,a yellow and green John Deer, a red train lantern. Finch, Cardinal, song birds feeders.
Guess that makes me a crazy bird brain lady?
Not bird brain! How about bird-loving lady? Much better to wake up to bird sounds than an annoying alarm clock, in my opinion. And it gives your cats something to watch.
Yes, a daughter called me one afternoon late and birds were swooping under porch I was on, just chattering away. She could hear them on phone and asked if I were at zoo? I said on porch. She asked if I were raising birds to feed cats?
I’m sorry…I didn’t get past “little tops”.
Ghost, you remember we discussed a while back who might buy Hefner’s mansion while he lived in it? Now we know. Kind of odd that Hostess announced a product recall the same day.

I am working on going back to little tops status. In fact I bought four smaller bikini Bottoms to wear at wellness center. Unfortunately back part of back too flabby still.
But no longer being body shamed I am wearing the tanks, sheers, sleeveless tops, low cut necks anyway. I refuse to be like the women at the department store last week who recoiled and said “I could NEVER wear that and show my arms!” Sorry, I own it in several colors and patterns.
I’m actually somewhat impressed by the buyer of the mansion since it appears he might be showing some respect to its pre-Hef history.

Jackie’s bird feeders, (if the link takes)

Jackie may have seen this already and she certainly could have written it, although her language would have been much more genteel. I think most of us here would agree with one of the commenters that the only thing a woman should not wear is anything that makes her uncomfortable.

Mark, I thought the Mansion might just continue to be a cupcake repository.
I don’t know when Hef will expire, but if he’s taken as many of those little blue pills as he claims, I think I know what part of him will die last.
It is probably already dead and he has no.idea.
I thought he was a boring old man and a geek when I was 19. What is he now besides a punch line?
Ruth Anne, yes I agree totally. I hate those stupid articles I imagine written by an opionated 20 year old. Young is as young does. Some people can pull it off, the rest don’t try.
I reckon most of those young women have thought him a boring old man all along. But one with money and connections, and lots of famous friends. What a waste of a life, though. He did have all those things, and what has he done with it all?
A Maine osprey nest. Just visited first time, apparently still incubating. Don’t know how many eggs. Remember to re-attach ‘expl ore.’ Peace, emb

Today’s “Dilbert” (6-7-18) is a cartoon about having a “work wife”. As I said recently, I have an office full of them…and that’s pretty much the way it works for me, too. 🙂

I could comment on what he has done with his life Mark but it involves the same wording as the article Ruth Anne posted and I don’t say that on line. In fact I can’t even think of a polite way to express what he has done all these years without being blatant and vulgar.
But that is what he is, isn’t it?
Looked at a photo of Hostess cupcakes. They are totally filed with a fluffy white filling injected into the center of each mound, not unlike Hefner’s girl friends are.
Depends on your tastes but I do not now or before eat Hostess products. Had to Google for photos. I thought they had gone out of business?
Or was that Playboy?
Possibly the only worse than a dirty old man is a pretentious dirty old man.
About Dilbert: Today’s cartoon seems to be , I think, to be done by Adams himself. Over the last few weeks, it seems often to be the vastly inferior drawings of others. Any idea what is going on?
Hef: Yeah, a real waste, but he epitomized one track that people’s [men’s in his case] values take, and not too different from the more ‘respectable’ routes taken by some, not all, other ‘men of means.’ I admit to having been quite fascinated, in my mid-20s, but later to have realized how shallow it all was. Also, his taste was way too top-heavy, but ‘de gustibus’ etc.
But Hef was not rich to start with. Once he was wealthy, he emulated other New Money, and a lot of Old. What about men [and women] who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths? They can afford an original Picasso. I am quite satisfied with three Blue Period prints. My Timex works fine; Bemidji could build several more Habitat houses with the price of one of their timepieces.
I will avoid politics by leaving out another’s name. He was very rich when he first came to public notice, and has gotten lots richer on your dollar and mine. TIME once wrote something like this: ‘True or False; Mr. Warbucks gave only 2% of his income to charity in 20xx. False; he gave only 1%.’ [Speelczech doesn’t recognize Warbucks! Does it recognize his real name? xxxxxxxx. Yes.] Best I stop, rather than explore another way to get rich, false piety.
Peace,
emb: As you may have learned by now, the Maine ospreys laid 3 eggs this year, one of which has hatched. Regular watchers are hoping for a happier year – last year both offspring were snatched by an eagle.
Sorry: ‘seems to be , I think, to be …’ = ‘seems, I think, to be …’ Peace,
emb, Jerry in FL had commented on the Dilbert art too a short time ago. I looked at it, and Adams was letting guests draw the strip so the originals could be auctioned for a fund-raiser. Not unlike what happened when Bill Watterson guested on a few strips for Pearls Before Swine.
Jackie, Hostess then-parent company went through bankruptcy and was split up and sold. Apparently this guy got the Hostess part.
