It’s three-fer Thursday! Here is part of a little series that ran 10 years ago this month. I recall it was easy to produce; the jokes about meditation wrote themselves. I do not recall exactly what was going on around me at the time, but I can tell by looking at this old artwork that I was drawing very fast. My favorite gag is the first one. It is this type of strip that earns my humor descriptions such as “subtle,” and “intelligent” and “not very funny.”

That was why all of Princess Diana ‘s were worn once and burned supposedly.
Costly since she wore only the best.
The present Princess seems to have solved the problem by going sans knickers?
I had not seen that report about the Princess of Wales panties. Nor the report about the Duchess of Cambridge’s lack of panties.
Sounds racier when you use their titles, doesn’t it? ๐
Weirder and weirder. Peace,
And the Queen, being thrifty, washes her own hair and undies and doesn’t burn them.
When Princess was in New Zealand it became apparent she was naked under her dresses and with strong winds some interesting photos were taken. I believe some European papers printed them since I saw them but the Commonwealth papers were discreet.
The Queen has weights sewn into her hems but the flying skirts looked like the famous Seven Year Itch scene with Marilyn over the grate, so no weights.
Here’s another Royal tidbit. I like the Williamsburg Inn where the Queen stays too. She cannot sleep on sheets or use towels previously used so all new ones were purchased of specific grades and washed by hand I believe by the person who coordinates her travel for White House.
This is custom anywhere she stays. It didn’t say what is done with sheets afterwards. Having the Queen as guest is not easy but much less trouble than say when Henry the Eighth and his court arrived.
Looks like Di didn’t get everything burned: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/people/we-found-it-in-a-posh-second-hand-shop-a-rare-dress-princess-dia/
Didn’t feel like cooking tonight, so got Chinese carry-out. Fortune in cookie read, “You have a captivating style all your own.” Which I suppose is a good thing as long as your name is not Jamie Gumb.
According to Butler or dresser or whatever he was Diana burned panties and gave away clothes as in story. It was just intimate items.
Ok, I read the biography with juicy details of all the scandals.
I feel good. Ran a lot of errands and managed to stay good on food, finally got to gym. Managed to walk 4/5 of mile and did 30 minutes of stepping on thing that looks like seated stair stepper. I know that is modest but I have been off exercising with back and hip.
Made appointment to see trainer to get real program set up per surgeon and signing up for beginner yoga and water aerobics. Going back to water walking in morning, along with other two until I see trainer. Had a chicken salad lite wrap, no bread, just lettuce. Hospital does food.
A dot is just a dot, no?
No!
The few dots on Arlo’s face are of little interest. If one were missing, so what?
Whereas the dot on the dress that we saw earlier was of interest. It was a shame that Google erased it.
Vive la difference!
Peace,

And Jackie is not wrong about Reba.

What a surprise when this came on when I clicked on Pandora. https://youtu.be/NVcVBCMuGgo
The theme song of the man tat said “Goood eeveningg”

Armistices Day will someday get changed – Thanksgiving not so much because it is a now
4 day Holiday.
This was going to be my next Southern Gothic song for you but you used it so it’s OK. I figured it was a favorite.
Vicki Lawrence’s original was good, went to number 1.
Time for bed. Question, my Smart watch counts my steps, checks blood pressure and heart rate. Heart went to 111 while I was doing stepping machine and stayed there. Is that OK? My blood sugars went down to 62 so I stopped and ate. Below 100 and I get symptoms.
Old Bear. Heard that all my life and thought it had been written for the TV show. Such a surprise then to hear on classical Pandora.
Jackie, I tried to send you the details of how to calculate your target heart rate range during exercise, but the post was apparently deemed to be some type of numbers p0rn and rejected. But, long story short, your desired range would be between 96 bpm and 126 bpm, (65% to 85% of the maximum heart rate for your age of 148 bpm), so 111 bpm for you would seem to be spot on, according to the calculation.
June 4, 1942 was the Battle of Midway, a major turning point in the Pacific War. Up until then, the Japanese had the initiative and the Americans and their allies could only react. After Midway, the Allies had the initiative and the Japanese were on the defensive. Two years and two days later, on June 6, 1944, the Allies invaded Normandy on D Day. Even though the basic strategy was always “Get Hitler First,” I find it dubious that we would have been able to devote so much shipping to the Normandy Landings if there were still six fleet carriers opposing us in the Pacific. I’m no expert, but I honestly wonder if D Day could have happened without Midway.
Good morning Villagers….
No time, going in early
GR ๐ it was just another day in paradise, same chicken $hit, but different day.

One more. This happened early Thursday morning: Fireball over Phoenix http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2016/06/03/Small-asteroid-becomes-fireball-lighting-the-night-sky-over-Phoenix/6021464958359/
Good morning Village. Benefits of exercise. I had a much better night, woke up in good mood, my ankles are skinny and I can do leg lifts as I lie here reading posts. Good day so far.
Into the tub and some exercise gear. Cute Southern lady leggings with pastel pink roses, pink tee shirt and matching ball cap with old fashioned roses and soft teal New Balances. You thought I worked out in baggy gray sweats and my hair in a bunch?
Later gators.
P.s. Another mystery song arrived in night. Very good choices of music too. Great guitar work and excellent but not widely known music. Being from so close to the Crossroads it speaks to me.
Bun, hair bun, not bunch. Darn Hal. It’s your knickers that get in a bunch were you wearing any.

Good point.
