    He’s lucky she has some plywood lying around. He’d have to wait while I took a trip to Home Depot.

    “And in his good pants, too!”

    Best line I’ve read on this site in days. If I’m going to be awake at 2:45AM, I may as well laugh about something…anything (apologies to the underrated Todd Rundgren)..

    Just an educated guess…..Laying plywood across the beams will give him a solid base to crawl out on?

    AS the old saying goes, “Well, I think I’ve done all the damage I can do here, so I’ll be going…”

    I hope he did NOT injure himself further[the off leg;crotch area; back],plus breathing the air borne fiberglass insulation,getting it on his skin,also,too. :( Peace.

    Lynn’s Notes:

    I think I gave Larry and Marilyn the original strips for this story. It was something I liked to do when I embarrassed a friend in public!

    Why do these children often look as if they have receding hair lines?

    Not sure if James was properly attired for insulation work. Work gloves are often a prerequisite, as well as eyewear. A surgical mask is strongly suggested in order to minimize inhaling fiberglass particles.

    I have a friend who was working in his attic and accidentally stepped off one of the boards to where the builder had only put ceiling plaster. Fell through to his little kid’s bedroom below.

    LoboGrande, LoboGrande: When I got mine, it was called Canad Pension. With Harper’s destruction, I don’t know what they call it, but as long as the cheques don’t bounce, I’m not going to rile the waters.

    My husband was in our attic yesterday- not the “fancy” attic for storage, but the part that goes above the 2nd floor. It was exactly like this the whole way, and he came within a hair’s breadth, a couple times, of duplicating this strip!

    Her father needs to get a hobby or go to the library and rent a Doris Day movie. Better yet rekindle the romantic flames with her Mother.

    I think she said last week that this actually happened to a neighbor or friend and she just turned it into her own family.
