Cross my heart and hope to die! I pulled up a batch of about two dozen old cartoons from 2004, looking for something interesting to share with you today, and this was among them. I couldn’t pass it up. Nonetheless, I wanted to post something today that would give us a semblance of normalcy around here. I’m sure everyone is as tired of the teeter-totter art as I am. It is Tuesday, however, and I almost never miss a Tuesday. If you only check in periodically, click the new link above or go back a couple of days to see what we’ve been up to. As for the rest of you, there is news about multiple rewards and other things. We’re going to get back to the barking, but we have time. I’m going to leave this with you for now. Semblance of normalcy is what we’re all about here.

Ironically, Mark, some of the furniture they bought probably fell apart before they could get it out of the garage.
Just read what my hometown deep in the Delta is doing and was brought to tears. In the past we lynched and hated, now we pray and offer love. Maybe there is hope for us. I can only hope.
Read the article, it may give you hope too.
A few of us, including me, managed to leave comments on the Monday page.
Finishing my thought: I had been wondering why no one [apparently] had written anything for a few hours; then I made the discovery.
All who wander are not lost!
Thanks to everyone in The Village for the music and kind words. We WILL survive and I hope we can improve our good will after all we’ve been through for the past couple of weeks here and in Dallas and other places. God bless us every one.
Ghost likes Motown but how many of you know the Muscle Shoals Sound? I hope Mark, Jimmy and Doumacain do since it is pure Alabama. Maybe Ghost does too.

I like pretty much all music, including Motown (which was my sister’s favorite), except for a few genres that claim to be music but really aren’t.
CLEVELAND, OH – July 19, 2016 (WOIO)
“Activists from Black Lives Matter, Westboro Baptist Church and the KKK were in the square and, at one time, were said to be throwing urine at each other.”
Someone wake me up when 2016 is over.
One of my friends wrote a hilarious parody of the next first lady’s speech being written for her but I can’t post it here. He is ex lawyer and a great satirical writer. I laughed a lot.
Was Mark who posted the nude women with mirrors protesting or Ghost? There will be four years of someone.
Not me. I won’t go there, here. If that makes sense to anyone, let me know. My work day was nothing to write home about. I wouldn’t use that kind of language in front of my mother. I will say I would take nude women protesting over the other kinds we’ve seen lately. At least they aren’t hiding any weapons, theirs are all out in the open.

Have fun
I am building and financing two Saturday Night Special sailboats down in Port Aransas, TX that got their name from this song. One is mine named Boat Widow and the other is Fig Newton.
If you’d like to help build them we still need volunteers. They will be used in a cancer fundraiser next summer.
Jackie: the credit for the nude protest link may be mine since I liked someone’s post of Dave Barry’s commentary. He will, as usual, be covering the conventions for the Miami Herald – and, this year especially, may be the best part of them. Here’s the link: http://www.davebarry.com/columns-recent.php
I wonder if cable companies, electronics stores, etc., are stocking up on replacement TV remotes? I expect the mute button on ours to be worn out by November!
Love Dave Barry and his humor. Have been reading him forever and laughing.
Just did something unlike me. I friend ed an old high school classmate which led me to some other old classmates and ex boyfriends from high school. They are OLD and BALD and GRAY!!!Why are people my age so much older than me?
Nudes with mirrors? Not I. I don’t think. Does make me wonder which direction the shiny sides of the mirrors were pointed.
Hi, everyone. Just checking in after being in Canadian Rockies and then Calgary for two weeks. Those of you on book of faces have been seeing pictures. Great trip, even though it did rain every day. Fun to catch up on fabulous Kickstarter results.
Jackie, as your classmates have slowed down, I think you have been speeding up. So you are much more flexible, mentally and physically, and much younger than your calendar age.
Good music!
Here is my contribution… for Jackie, Debbe, Mark, Jerry, Miss Charlotte, Mindy from Indie… all of us who fought and will keep fighting!
Don’t care that much for the video, but LOVE the song!

I was just going to say-is there a reason they were playing Queen as she came out and left? AND-the final sign, as I recall, of the end times, is the sound of something, uh, let’s see what is it?
