I’m running a little late this morning. I have some things I’m doing and some things I should be doing, but I’ve been on a bit of a roll lately, with two consecutive posts. So, I thought I’d drop by another old A&J strip from 10 years ago. By the way, over at the Universal Uclick Web site Gocomics, A&J just surpassed 60,000 subscribers. That’s not bad! Thanks to all.

I nuked two pieces of bacon this morning to have with my breakfast, the first I’ve had in some time. It made my kitchen smell wonderful. I would so buy bacon-scented room freshener, if they made such a thing. Also, bacon should have been a vitamin.
I know a former poster here would disagree with that. Also, she seems to have disappeared from TDS (not that I pay much attention to doings there) since I pointed out she must also be a t-shirt model.
Pretty sure [at 1304 CST] this is the bigger bird [= female]. Feet similar to those I saw perching beneath that beam yesterday, though that could have been the tercel.

Peace,
Thank you, Ghost. Small comfort, but the doc says she should be mobile on prosthesis as before with real foot, so that is better than wheelchair dependent.

Peace,
Jackie,
You just awakened an old memory. In ’54, I was privileged to have attended the Junior/Senior prom of Baton Rouge High School. The band was none other than Fats Domino! The date I had just died a few weeks ago and I was too broken up to attend her wake. I still have Sicilian blood in my veins and am very emotional for a man. I cry for things that most people consider foolish. I’m not ashamed of crying. Thanks for the memory. (The tears are flowing now!)
God bless us every one.
Thanks, Mark. Last time I was in Wally World, I saw adhesive bandages that look like strips of fried bacon, so I guess that’s not too far-fetched.
domaucan1:
I read your post in a hurry and I thought that your date had died a couple weeks before the prom and you missed Fats. My bad. Sorry to hear of your loss. It sucks getting old, but always be thankful for the good times.
In Michigan, my friends tell me about Bob Seger or Glenn Frey playing at their school dance or their garages.

In ’49-’50, Vaughan Monroe
http://www.nps.gov/features/yell/webcam/oldFaithfulStreaming.html
and his band played at a Cornell U. formal that Elaine and I went to. By well into the dance, he was drunk as a lord. He wasn’t as young then as in the photo at the above site. I don’t remember the Moonmaids’ being there.
Fellow BSU faculty member Bob Baker had a big band radio program on the BSU station. Used to play Monroe singing ‘Tangerine’ just to get my goat.
Peace,
Since the above was based on my observations and the observations of my date and others, rather than on a forensic exam of the band leader who had been publicized to be V.M., best I substitute the following paragraphs:
“In ’49-’50, Vaughan Monroe and his band played at a Cornell U. formal that a date and I went to. I was a teetotaler at the time. By well into the dance, I could no longer understand what the band leader said or sang, though I could understand the conversation of my date and others. Some suggested he was drunk. I was so innocent that it had not occurred to me. He wasn’t as young then as in the photo at the above site.”
“In the ’70s-’80s, fellow BSU faculty member Bob Baker had a big band radio program on the BSU station. Used to play Monroe singing ‘Tangerine’ just to get my goat.”
Ok, the one group that played for a college dance you all would love was the Supreme but most didn’t dance, they hung out under stages edge and drooled. Males did anyway.
Got my heat on today for bargain price of $210 instead of new unit for $5000. If this doesn’t work next repair is probably $500 but still fraction of new unit. I am going to go get in tub and soak in bubbles and salts and oils.
With help from my deputys girlfriend I got first three beds cleaned, filled with more composted cotton by lroducts, fertilized, potashed and fabric pinned down for weed barrier. Tonight I soak sugar snap peas and inoculate and plant tomorrow with onions, potatoes, and all the cabbage, brocolli, cauliflower, collards, mustard, lettuce and some other cool weather plants. Then an inch or two of cypress mulch on it all.
I know, I am a living replica of Janis.
Forgot to say Gary there is a photo of my beautiful teeth and a nice smile on my Facebook page. Not sure if it is smile or garden they like? Now I am getting friend requests from strange men who aren’t interested in sailing apparently. Hope they aren’t incarcerated somewhere. I am used to sailors, they just talk about boats.
Tomorrow I will take photos of prepared beds, garden that is. They are so clean and neat.
How strange?
Rock stars, authors, artists, politicians…I suppose most of us have had “brushes with greatness” at one time of another. One of my personal favorite “brushes” was the time at an event I met and was photographed with what was possibly the hottest-looking runner-up (and Swimsuit Winner, back before two-piece suits but also before skin-and-bones competitors) to Miss America, ever. An area of my upper right chest still occasionally tingles where she pressed her left boob against it when I put my arm around her for the photo. 😉
Kenny Rogers played in our cafeteria. Mark, I’m sorry to hear the news. My mother says she’s going to the grave with all of her original parts although she’s lost a few already.
So what is opinion on the voluptuous Sports Illustrated swimsuit model with all her body parts and a few extra? I thought the older SI model who said your waist should be less than 36 according to Dr. Phil was being a catty nit picker and should have said Go Girl but she let her personal feelings show. I do look skinny in comparison both now and when I could have worn next to nothing. In fact, I didn’t notice a suit on that one girl? But I think she is pretty and not fat, just a lot of what they are promoting.
Yes Jackie, I did see it. Nice Smile. I’ll try to link the picture here.

Maybe I shouldn’t smile? The men asking to be my friends on Facebook appear normal, older guys like most of my boaters are but these are texting me and calling me, I am not answering. It’s not that boaters having been writing me for years, they do but I have not been attracting sudden interest in unconnected men who call me Sunshine, sweetheart, dear, etc.
Weirdly, I write doctors in India, car mechanics in Australia, boaters in Greece, England and think nothing of it. No one has ever said an improper thing. But this makes me nervous.
Jackie, I hope I’m not being overly cynical, but three words…Millionaire Widow Lady.
Believe me, not every man would have the same non-mercenary outlook I did. In fact, far from it.
All I had heard was single snarky remark about the “SI Fat Chick Swimsuit Cover”, so I had to look it up. Cheryl Tiegs, the former SI cover model who criticized the magazine for putting Ashley Graham on its cover, was apparently making the point that Ms. Graham’s weight was unhealthy. Wikipedia gives Ms. Graham’s height as five nine and a half, and her measurements as 38D – 29.5 – 45. (Although I don’t have any way of knowing how recent or how accurate those measurements are, I don’t doubt the first one.) So if Ms. Teigs was basing her opinion on the fact that a female waist should measure “less than 35 inches”, she may be a bit off the beam.
But applying Ms. Graham’s stated height and what I think is a reasonable estimate of her weight to the BMI calculator (and yes, I know there are some problems with that calculator, but I’m using what Weight Watchers goes by), she is very likely on the high end of “Overweight” but still below “Obese”.
What’s not in doubt is that she is lovely.
Bustier than my ideal [MTAHIW], and naughty [she’s pulling the panty[?] lower than its ‘resting’ locale, but otherwise, so what? If the photo brightens men’s day, fine. emb
I was trying to watch something on tv last night and there appeared an ad for an online dating service for curvy women. The times, they are a-changing. For the better as long as its not a dangerous weight. I have dated women of differing body types and heights and the thing I always found most attractive was intelligence and a good sense of humor.
Jackie, change your phone number and don’t list it on FB in the information that anybody can see. And keep in mind how easy it is to find location data on the net for those who know how. Don’t show pics of what is in your house, etc, because thieves FB too.
I am going to say the busty beauty is way more than a 38 D because she is way bustier than I and a 38DDD is smallest size I can wear, maybe a 38DD and no way can I compare to that top or bottom. I believe a 45 inch bottom. She’s is pretty and not flabby, very proportioned and scaled well. When I was young and tiny I was 34-18-32 and starved myself to stay at that. I measured a skirt the other day that I wore at age 50 when I moved to Oklahoma, a whopping 22 inches and still 34 hips in skirt. That takes starving and exercise when you are not naturally body set for those meadurements.

What is surprising is they weigh less that an average cat.
