Still at the beach! It’s fun putting several strips from a series together this way. It becomes a comic book! We talked about “More” magazine in the previous post. Today, it’s “Myspace.” Myspace is still around, but it’s no longer tres cool, or “very hip, very inside.” I mean, for crying out loud, this strip ran, what…? Nine years ago!
The Kickstarter thing. It isn’t my intention to tease you, but I feel I owe you updates. Things are proceeding well, actually. Much of the creative work is in place, but we are taking time to assure the financial records are properly in place. I would hate for the project to be taken down on a technicality in the middle of our fun! Speaking of fun, I might as well take this time to ask what you would like to see as a “reward” for your Kickstarter pledge. I have some goodies in place, but I’m very interested in what you’d like to see. I know you don’t even know what the project is yet, but for now let’s not worry about that; just assume it’s something you’ll want to support. I think you will.

Regarding today’s strip, I viewed it more kindly. It just seems to me (spending a lot of time alone) that any time she’s away that Arlo misses Janice.
David, you are correct on both points; government want a take, “scrape off” sounds wrong and likely to catch the eye of the government.
The main Brexit leader is a tall, loudmouthed guy with extremely strange looking blond hair. What a coinkydink.
I am a hugger like Arlo. Huggers will hug and kiss you when you come in the door and when you leave. That is what Arlo is too. A hugger needs to be around people who like to get affectionate touching. Even if it is just a hug.
‘An hour, a week’ is a bit of an exaggeration, but I was like Arlo, no apologies. A day or two away, I was at loose ends.
BUMC became a hugging congregation when our first female pastor came aboard. I’m all in favor, but realize it makes some people uncomfortable.
Peace,
“Poor thing! An hour, a week, all the same to him!”
That’s what people say about their pets. Real nice, Janis. Especially with the smirk.
Here’s a happy Southern lady comment. Just cooked Glen my deputy resident grilled boneless pork chops thick cut, fresh yellow squash, new potatoes with garlic and rosemary and garden onions, along with corn on cob. All out of garden except the pig.
Wait, I forgot the bloody vine ripened tomatoes and cucumbers with lemon vinaigrette dressing. No room for the watermelon lots of left overs but Glen had two helpings of the potatoes and squash.
Southern mama’s are incorrigible about feeding men.
Janis should be glad Arlo focuses that attention on her.
Food diversion didn’t work. How about a wardrobe malfunction?
I had tomato, cucumber, and onion salad with supper tonight. I didn’t grow the onions, though. I think tomorrow I will add some bell peppers to the mix.
Were the yellow squash fried with onions? That’s my favorite way to eat squash, just a dusting of flour, sliced onions, and a little bacon fat in the pan. Cook until crisp on one side, then flip. No stirring!
I just boiled the yellow squash and Glen put salt and butter. I ate mine naked but yours sound good. I have more yellow squash, zucchini and white squash. I am going to stuff the white I think.
Said same thing, we had tomatoes and cucumbers left, will add red, green, orange bell peppers and some mild garden onions and tops, maybe low fat mayo and turn into mixed salad. There is nothing better than fresh garden vegetables. No comparison.
We pulled out potatoes and the cabbages which didn’t ever really head. Replanting squash or okra and beans probably. Potatoes did well but extreme heat doing number on them. There are tomatoes everywhere including in flower beds where they are quite attractive.
Think some herbs would add to chopped salad. Parsley and chives definitely.
Apparently my words could have been better chosen vis a vie taxes. Let me rephrase that;
The I.R.S. regards Kickstarter money as “pure income”. Thus, when the money arrives, take 10% of that money off of the top and put in a bank account and then ignore it, so that when your larger than normal tax bill arrives, you can pay it.
Remember that this tax bite WILL occur, and thus, when you are trying to determine how much money to initially ask for- to cover printing, shipping, extras and etcetera, add that extra amount up front, so that this project doesn’t wind up costing you more than you bring in.
Is that better?
Glad to see Phil stop by – I am a long time fanatic
I stop at his site before coming here (Sorry Phil)

Hear there is a new restaurant in B town. memorial get together for my
nephew – it has been 10 years – it does not seem possible.

I slice zucchini, chop onion, some crushed walnut – a little olive oil
on a flat pan – pop in oven for 15′ – 20′ @ 350*.
That sounds incredible Old Bear. How thin for zucchini and onions and how crushed are those walnuts?
I always have walnuts and olive oil.
My friend in Canada asked if I could bring her file’ as in gumbo, not a file. She said don’t do if hard to find. I told her getting some extra out of my pantry was easy. We were from south Louisiana. How many wold she like?
I use a Banjo(? that is what I call it) slicer hat cuts to about
3/16″ –
The onion is 1/4″ pieces –
the walnut is (commercially called) pieces size
It is all up to you –
We have Walnut tree in yard so other than olive oil it comes from our place.
Okay. I can do that. I own one somewhere but I can get thin. I defrosted some sirloin steak, so mushrooms somehow along with your recipe, more new potatoes and more tomatoes and cukes, peppers, onions in a chopped salad.
My favorite squash is actually a precooked squash you add to a cornbread crumble with onions, cheese, eggs and cream and rebake. Which reminds me, I need to shuck and cut the corn off cob and make into creamed corn. I bought a big gunny sack full from side of road. Dreamer.

The trip was only over to the farm.
Came across receipt (1983 & 1985) for birds when they stopped producing (did I say we force molted them once each flock) we got 6 cents a pound. It paid for the catching.
Remember we had loose floor birds.

A little diced green Bell Pepper might go good in that too.
You sparked an idea – will let you know how it comes out.
“Stovetop” stuffing – cream cheese in place of cream (really makes mashed potato)
onion, nutmeg, Cheddar cheese – rebake. Will try it Sunday. I think I have some Squash
in freezer.
You know how great minds are? I was thinking about adding peppers too because I like peppers. We have a lot of peppers beginning to produce, plus I bought a lot on sale at grocery. I think the creamed corn would be great with peppers, turn into Mexi-corn. Remember canned?
My deputy and my truck driver love vegetables and eat healthy, help with garden and we all share produce. I may not have mentioned my tall semi-retired semi driver but he helps with yard, garden, building projects part time. Nice guys.
Mark met my crew. We are down to three but they all look after me. I’m like your mama if she wore tight tights, drove a pickup and loved rock and roll.
Don’t wait. You can see Jay Leno’s rollover online now. And what are YOU doing up this late?
[I’ll be up another 1.5 hours, since you seem to wonder!]

Take your choice, Jackie.
Have never amassed a fortune, but the daily pocket change can accumulate into a nice annual night out.
Sand a fortune is often amassed through frugality and denial. Remember Scrooge McDuck?
Memories result from spending it and are far more precious.
When in the service I would put change in a jar – It would pay for a good part of my Leave.
