Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for April 09, 2014

Actually, that’s “maneki neko,” which means, welcoming (or inviting) cat. The idea can be either welcoming customers into a store or inviting prosperity.

Um… that isn’t a paw that’s raised…

I’ve got one on my dresser that greets me when I wake up and open the curtains to let in light. (it has a photo cell to activate the arm swing)

I’d be telling Betty to get over herself and this weird fixation right about now…

I think this is a sneaky diet.

secret plan to get the hubby to lose weight cuz he can’t eat

I’d be telling Bub to cook his fair share of the dinners right about now complete with cleanup like a grownup man. If she cooks every time, she gets to have a couple of “weird fixations.” If he does his share, then he can have them, too. And, BTW, Betty does outside work, too, so don’t pull the man-woman task work crap excuse.

I have a cheater. It’s called a fork. I do like Chinese spoons though.

Chopsticks aren’t all that difficult, they just take a little practice. Once you get the hang of it, it’s kind of fun.Sort of like driving a stick-shift.
