Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 04, 2015

When I was a kid, I hated having to take naps… It also seemed to take forever for the after school bell to ring, and also “forever” for something I wanted the opportunity to enjoy to finally get here. – Now, I don’t mind naps at all (LOL, or at least I won’t "fight’ taking one, too much)… And as soon as I close my eyes at night to sleep, it’s time to get up again; and it usually takes “forever” for “quittin’ time” to get there and for the week to be over….

Waiting for the last minute on the time clock always takes forever.

“Time And Tide”“The Gift Of Time Is the Present”“A Stich, In Time, Saves Nein!”“A River Of Current (Events)”“Building Castles In The Sands Of Time”“Can’t Go Up The River, Again”“Sailing Through The Seasons”or..“The Curious Case Of Mr. Pop ped Button”

(♫)“Ticking away, the moments that make up a dull day…”(♫)(“Time”, Pink Floyd, from Eclipse, 1973) – (♫)“…Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind usTo a glimpse of how green it was on the other sideSteps taken forwards but sleepwalking back againDragged by the force of some inner tide….”

“…The grass was greenerThe light was brighterThe taste was sweeterThe nights of wonderWith friends surroundedThe dawn mist glowingThe water flowingThe endless river

Forever and ever” (♫)

(“High Hopes”, Pink Floyd [From “the Division Bell”, 1994])

Honestly, Frank has the stuff for a good comb-over.

Time IS flying by, the older I get…..seems like it’s Christmas and New Years every second month.

“Youth is wasted on the young.” – George Bernard Shaw (or Oscar Wilde. Attributions differ.)

“Grumpy? Moi?”

It took me a while to understand this comic I had to read it again :)

I really agree with Frank’s comment in the second panel. My late grandmother used to tell me how quickly time seemed to pass, and I had no idea what she meant. Now that I’m over age 65, the clock seems to be racing. Toward what, I can only speculate…

It’s merciful. That’s what

He’s writing something with a pen and paper. That alone makes him old.

I don’t think that was Gunther dancing with Bernice. I think it was the guy who woke up in her room from Tiffany’s party

“Well, Frank, Nancy didn’t come out at first and say you were a grumpy old man…”

Y’know, that reminds me of this…

I used to sing in a band, myself (true story!) Now, I think people urge me to “go Solo”… or was that “sing so low..”?

My brother is 3 years younger than me too! (Well actually two and a half but that rounds up to 3)

What do you mean you were “gone”? Did you move to a different room in the house or did you leave the house to play with neighbors or something? Sorry I’m just curious.

You should see what someone did to ’Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now", by Jefferson Airplane/Starship. They put up the song, and their incorrect lyrics, on screen! Later I’ll look for it and put it up and show you.

“Take good care of each other, be kind to each other,” ^Just recently, I was giving thought to that good advice!!

Sounds like you guys had learned to make the most out of your relationship and your individual and collective existences… – I’ve learned that, too. I find that one doesn’t have to agree with (or even be like) their siblings all the time, but at least to find a way to connect, and go with that….that is “less work” and easier on everyone’s well being to find some “common ground” and something that you can connect with, than to go around going “I hate you” (and some probably don’t even remember what or how it got started over…) and wasting all that valuable time…

“Hopefully, it’s nothing too bad – I don’t want to see you get kicked off the board here…” ^Oh, no, nothing bad or anything!!!! They were just more “mangled lyrics” the person put up, though they thought they were “doing something” when they posted their lyrics with the song…. – Their version: (♫) “And we can build this thing together, stand this storm forever”… correct version: (♫) And we can build this dream together, standing strong forever.nothing’s gonna stop us now…" – Here is the link (though I’m sure there are other versions floating around, somewhere)…

That’s the way the cookie crumbles, Frank! That’s the way the mop flops! That’s life! ♫

What Frank MEANT to Say Nancy, IS That He Wouldn’t be So Grumpy if He Had More SE…..,Ahhhh YOU Know!

Oh Yeah – Grumpier Old Men. I KNEW this strip reminded me of someone else: Walter Matthau and Sophia Loren!

> Take good care of each other, be kind to each other>“Be excellent to each other, and… PARTY ON, DUDES!” – President Abraham Lincoln

As the Frog says: “Times Fun When You’re Having Flies”

Joyful Childhood?? I don’t know anyone who had that.Maybe it seems joyful when you look back on it, but is was not happy going through it.

I can still nail the vocals for a lot of different albums and artists. The only problem is, I sing in the key of “L”.Ar, at least that’s what everybody tells me, that it sounds like ’L anyway…

Some of the stuff I sing is in the key of L too, the LOL key.

Wait til you make it to old fart

Good list!

Ha ha!!!! -Yeah, I forgot all about “Tempus…” – Or how about " (A) Tempus Fugitive?"

Especially since she’s been with him “through thick and thin”….

" It’s a bad sign…a really bad sign.".Tea leaves, portents, omens, Tarot readers, astrology and equally valid proof of the failing marriage of the de Groots.

@Brdshtt“So many times in life you would see siblings and hear the “I HATE you,” and for some that would carry late into their lives. How unfortunate.”.One never knows which memories will stick hardest or longest, so I decided to make them positive as much as possible. Take the worst kid I’m dealing with, “You know I love you with all my heart and that’s why I have to say NO.”.Years later they remember the first part rather than the last part. (always if possible say “and” rather than “but” because “and” says what follows is because of the love rather than being despite the claim of love.Even if they were about to hit you, they reconsider.If they tell their parents what was said, the parents get it as well.Life is good.

Bern dancing.http://www.gocomics.com/luann/2014/10/09.But with whom?

Nice picture..“And drunk delight of battle with my peers,Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.I am a part of all that I have met;Yet all experience is an arch wherethro’Gleams that untravell’d world whose margin fadesFor ever and forever when I move.”

GESHUNDHEIT?

S’not always true, but with the cold I’ve developed today it’s probably true all night long for me.
