Obviously, summer hours have gone into effect here. However, the door is open, and the lights are one. Help yourself to whatever’s in the fridge. You long-time visitors take care of the newcomers. By the way, today’s classic strip is from way back in 1993 and probably was born from the frustrations of being a humorist, especially an oblique one.

This website has turned into the land of Honnah Lee; weird and mystical.
This takes me back… to 1965. Mary was hot, and as a 12 year-old, I didn’t notice.

Debbe, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiyuG20bhO4
Here is something I am proxy posting for Ghost.

Jackie: I got the “content not found” message even after logging in to FB.
It was very inappropriate and Facebook may have removed! It was a weather related pun on words, a joke, not politically correct. I should have copied!
Thought for the evening:
Be apolitically incorrect.
Between appointments in Tulsa this afternoon, we went to…wait for it, wait for it…the Goodwill store to find some more short skirts, shorts, and skimpy tops for Terrie the Slightly Tawdry Housekeeper. Some of them were semi-inappropriate. The rest were totally inappropriate.
Jackie is known by all the area Goodwill employees, just as she is by the area garden centers’ employees. I told her that was a good thing, as otherwise we’d have been pegged as a Madam and her Muscle, buying work clothes for a string of hookers we were running.
The photo with Ghost and his upper plate looks suspiciously like my brother –
but he is in Brazil right now. Including what my father said was the horns starting to poke
through the forehead.
Trapper – prayers for you and yours.
Usually when the baby goes past the due date it is to put the “stem winder” on.
Is this the first? The old folk lore is the first can come at any time all the others take 9 mo.
Going to sleep. Good morning all.
Have been trying to catch up, still behind, but finally have the caboose in sight.
First, my heartfelt condolences to Miss Charlotte and family. What a tragedy.
Second, glad to see the humor has returned to the Village: a welcome oasis in a chaotic world.
Third, yay Smithfield shoutouts! Work is still going well. Ghost and his talk of sundresses, and here I am walking out the door in two pairs of socks, jeans, long sleeved t, short sleeved t, and bandana over the ears. (The sweatshirt and jacket currently live in my locker.) And yes, I wear it all. The auger across the aisle from me causes snow. It is a mite chilly. That said, I recently purchased a pair of sundresses to go with the other two I also don’t wear. (I have yet to make a run to purchase the proper strapless undergarment to wear beneath. On the to do list.)
My old job finally closed my old store (plus another that had gone downhill dramatically – first store I worked at, and it was the cleanest in town, once upon a time.) The neighborhood “peace” watch finally got their wish. Unfortunately for them, the new owners have even fewer scruples than my old company – the new store actually will be guilty of all the things they wrongfully accused us of doing. Karma can be swift.
This also means my guy got moved to a new location. He is not happy and is finally annoyed enough to make a serious effort to find a better job. While I am thrilled at the development, I’ve not made too much of a fuss about it – don’t want to come across with “I told you so” tone and rub salt in the wound. He got cheated out of a raise and a promotion with the closing. Fingers crossed he finds an employer who appreciates him.
Thunder has a cold. Wasn’t going to give her her nightly treat of a splash of chocolate milk, but those big sad eyes of hers broke me. Yes, I know I am a sucker. Not sorry. ????
Mindy you are saying it is a bit Wendy raisin the bakin’ for fryin’???
Miss your stories.
I had to laugh at Ludwig today . That was my Patsy. S he would beg to be petted and then launch an attack.
Good morning Villagers…..
Lots to do today….
And it’s good to hear from Indy Mindy…missed you and your stories, but glad to read you’re doing well.
Time for breakfast…a chocolate covered apricot 🙂
gotta go…..

and thank you Mark for that Pink Floyd link….love the comments too below the video. Someone said that it would be good to listen to before falling asleep….it wouldn’t work for me, I’d just get all wired up and have to play Echoes.
Welcome back, Lady Mindy of Whydid. Also, thank you for your effort to expand the display of sundresses. I sincerely believe the world would be a better place with more sundresses in it. Not to mention much more interesting. And scenic.
Debbe, you’re welcome. Echoes is my favorite piece by Pink Floyd, and I was glad to hear this as a variation on it. There is a huge box set with the older music on it, which I can’t afford. And there is a two CD-set with selections from the big set, which I bought. More than half of what is on the 2 CDs is music I never heard before. You can listen to both on Spotify.
Laura from AR, that’s why you can’t pet a cat on autopilot, like you can a dog. If the cat feels your attention is drifting, Gotcha!
Debbe, here is the 2 disc set: https://www.amazon.com/Early-Years-1967-1972-Cre-ation/dp/B01J4VVQL2/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1498830561&sr=8-9&keywords=pink+floyd+cd&refinements=p_lbr_music_artists_browse-bin%3APink+Floyd
It is street flooding and stormy here. We just hauled too wet dogs to vet for their baths. What a day to do that! Dickens is on my lap wet and I Smell like a wet dog now.
Wearing my Marilyn tee shirt with her pouty red lips, suitable for wet tee shirt contest, very thin. Chinese laundry day.
Yesterday, between appointments in Tulsa, we stopped at Mimi’s Café for lunch. We were next to a loud, but not really boisterous, party of six young people. It soon became obvious they were celebrating the birthday of one of the group.
Jackie and I both recognized them as wait staff, and she asked our server if they were Mimi’s employees. She told us they all worked at The Cheesecake Factory. I found that ironic, as one of the females was tall and tanned, and blonde and busty; and she reminded me more than a little of “Penny” on The Big Bang Theory. Another had “Bernadette’s” bust line, but unfortunately “Amy’s” waist and hip measurements to go with it. And the birthday boy, rather than looking like Sheldon or Leonard, had long hair and a full beard, and more closely resembled this guy.
