1) See, Ox is given something to do other than carry boxes— and he’s proud of it! Remember back this fall when he was so needy to be friends with Gunther? Now he has them!*2) The real work— and the interest/reward— will come with delivering the baskets. Will the offerings be rejected as some say, or will they be graciously accepted? Will the teens do the REAL work and stay to converse with the seniors— hear their stories and share something from their own lives?*3) 200 baskets/10 cars = 20 baskets per driver. This won’t leave much time for a personal conversation. Thank heavens Tiff is adding her personal scent now. (Also, this means 200 cards/4 = 50 cards per teen.)
There were a lot of people commenting yesterday that the candy baskets weren’t actually a good idea for most nursing home residents. That is actually the case; if you ask, you’ll find that recommended gifts include things like large print crossword puzzle books and magazines, small bulletin boards with pictures of people and places they love, or offers to come and read to them. But one thing everyone recommends — no heavy perfumes! An overly scented card will make people sick.
Some people DO go into politics hoping to make a difference. Then they run into those who question their motives, accuse them of being tokens, call them “do-gooders”, and belittle their efforts.-And when the ones who hoped to make a difference realize most people don’t give diddly-squat about anyone else, they lose heart, and give up. Then they’re called quitters.-I read Luanne because the strip generally has an upbeat message, and a good variety of characters. What’s wrong with Delta, Luanne, Ox, and all the rest of the characters wanting to do something nice?
Out of the four of them, the football guy seems to have the best card. Tiffany doesn’t have any talent short of spraying them with sickening perfume. Luann and Brad are at least trying.
" if you ask, you’ll find that recommended gifts include things like large print crossword puzzle books and magazines"
That’s if you ask do-gooders. But if you ask the seniors themselves, you’ll find the recommended gifts include bourbon, gin, vodka, strippers, tequila, cigars, …
Must be a government operation.…what with a token… supervisor.^^That is not a nice thing to say, Delta is not a token, per se, she has always been member of the main cast Unlike “Chuck” in the Archie comics who shows up mainly in the “crowd” scenes at Riverdale High.
MJ:Can you draw what Delta would look like as a black activist leader?…^^Sorry no, some people might get very upset, were I to do that, Donny…. including me :P
Right, like Bush-Reagan Contra and Bush2 Going to war with Iraq to capture Bin Laden in Pakistan?… keep the digs at us Liberals (Who are nice people, btw) out of this Forum, there are the political cartoon pages for that.
Doesn’t anyone take the comics for what they are??? Which is entertainment. You guys get too freakimg serious for the comics… you should keep your statements to yourselves.^^Ummmm…. this place is MEANT for our comments…. what do you want? “Good comic”, “I like it” “I can count to two on my fingers”? If people making comments on the strip bothers you, don’t read them.

OK – We’re silly for a while. It’s just that….sometimes….“Luann” is so good…..
Templo S.U.D. over 11 years ago
Are we sure Luann isn’t in preschool anymore? Preschoolers just love to overdo the glitter.
legaleagle48 over 11 years ago

princecharmeing over 11 years ago

With supervision skills like that, she can forget congress. She’s a natural for holding up a shovel for CalTrans.
@ChihuahuaMama
It had to be the firehouse or Delta would wish them into the cornfield.

Poor Brad! —Save your guy, Captain! Between the perfume-gassing and the glitter-irritants, he may be done in by Tiff and Luann!

Delta the community organizer, sounds like presidential cridentials to me. Looks like the Captain has his hand back reaching for Delta’s butt.

Some folks still don’t seem to realize that Delta already did all the heavy lifting for this to happen.

Maybe Delta and the Chief will hook up. They’re both into helping people

Oh Delta probably was doing something before she started giving the captain “The Grand Tour,” lay off.
