When I talk on the phone to some distant relative I have to take notes so I can tell my wife the details of the conversation. I just can’t remember all that stuff … or maybe I just don’t care.
I also take notes on phone calls from family as well as business. When I send my cards, I often wonder if some elder relatives are still alive. I’m not sure I’d have heard (although I hear about every HS classmate who passes - and I don’t know anything about them).
Yes David, I read that one too. The ones here are vintage (by about 3 years, I think) - but I enjoy reading both. The Post is better than my local paper, because no returning to an index page between strips. I still go to the local paper for 3 - Between Friends, M Goose and Grimm & Rhymes w Orange.
I never can keep track either and it’s especially frustrating when my mother will say she told me this or that. She thinks I have no life of my own so I should remember all that!
My mom lives in the past a lot. My current family what is left of the relatives, contacts nobody. The old saying that is heard only see family at furneals is very true. I have an uncle who is a army veternan and wants nothing to do with family only goes to Dr’s a lot. Lived a terrifiying time in the service.
I’m afraid of facebook as I would know no one. I don’t even remember HS students back then too many years ago.
Pearl, I don’t see that date. I just know these are vintage. And Kab, I read many books - mostly bought used on Alibris and Amazon; I have a library card but when they borrow from another library it has only a week to return.
Pearl, I still do not see that. But in the divider strip between the 2 last boxes, there is “@ 2007 Creators Syndicate ,Inc” & “www.creators.com” above. The words “original date” are NOT there. Date (year only) is only legible with my magnifying glass and 12/24 day is on the strip. Thanks for the help. I use IE, do you use a different browser?
are you sure you are in Comics.com…I was just on the site and the date is there: just above the top line of the ‘toon, not in the cartoon itself, just aboue on the right hand upper ocrner….

Maybe Frank should start taking notes.

I’m lucky if I can tell Mom from Unkle Joe.

I have that same trouble. So I started making notes in my PDA.

Check out the current OBH in the Washington Post. Ellen’s mother is sorta making a comeback.

Been there, done that. Too many to keep track of.

comics.com has the ‘toons original date shown on the top - so, reading all three gives one quite a range of happenings.

Does anyone read a book outside of comics comments sections?
