    A fat woman clip-clopped into the shoe store today, and said “I need something I’d be comfortable in.” I said, “Try Wyoming.” Now, I don’t know when they started letting women carry chain saws.

    Yep. Someone said Nancy is in midlife crisis and it looks like she is indeed. She is acting a bit childish – we can see Luann in her right now. So, I think we can rest easy knowing Luann will grow into her mother one day. Perhaps Nancy was just like Luann in her youth, aimless and clueless…until she met Frank and found her purpose in life. My guess is G&K plans the same for Luann eventually – most likely when they agree to end the comic strips and write a closure.

    It’s pretty late, because it took you six or seven hours to make and eat dinner (people are buying that, for some reason). Go to bed.

    Nancy’s stories: The complete version:

    Ox is so funny. I never knew. When I got to work, I said, “It’s chilly outside.” Then Ox ran and got a bowl and spoon and went outside. When he came back he said, “I thought you said it was chilly outside, but I didn’t see any chili anywhere.’ And Ox is so funny, we were all laughing our heads off.

    I was working the bar and I hear a man say, “Nice shoes”. I looked around and I didn’t see anyone. Then I hear a man say, “Great tie!” I still didn’t see anyone. Then the man says, "Aren’t you a bit young to be a bartender?” Finally, I call Ox over and ask him what is going on. Ox says, "Oh, the peanuts are complementary.” Turns out it was peanuts and not a man.

    A man and his girlfriend were there for dinner. Ox tells them the night’s special is chicken almondine and fresh fish. “The chicken sounds good; I’ll have that,” the woman says. Then Ox says, “And the vegetable?” “Oh, he’ll have the fish,” she replies. Turns out, she ordered fish.

    My point from yesterday still stands: why is a bartender home so early?!? Nightlife goes way past 7 pm, you know!

    Still, it’s nice to see Nancy happy for once. It beats watching the eternal tween angst Luann specializes in.

    Boy, people are freaking out about this.

    She likes the job, at least so far. Housewives get bored because they have no company. And people who go to work every day love staying home. At first. It might change.

    First day. Exciting. Plus everyone is nice to her since she OWNS the place. She won’t have to deal with in-your-face nastiness. Everyone is making sure she likes them. And, of course, the whole thing is a novelty for her. --Like I said before, I don’t really get it. She is the owner, which basically means she pays herself. How is that a gain? That’s working for free. My prediction is that she won’t last too long here. Just long enough for the next arc where something more interesting will happen. (She catches some illegal thing going on). You heard it here first. LOL

    Nancy’s second youth has officially begun. Luann seems so impressed. She must be proud to be the daughter of a woman like Nancy ♡. And Frank should be proud of his wife.

    This one was easy to call. Even the best of marriages would get strained when one partner starts a job that will leave the other partner alone during their usual together time and involves plenty of flirting like a bartender usually deals with! I think Nancy truly wanted to help out and try something new, but I saw the impact it would have on Frank coming months doubt.

    I knew a soldier who had a wife. When the kids hit the teen years she started to work at restaurant as a hostess. When the soldier went away on deployment, came back home & found the wife was gone. She had decided to live with an interesting customer. Do you think this is Greg’s plan for Nancy?

    She’s riding high on her first successful day and full of adrenaline. But wait until she has to go back and do it all again TOMORROW! Eventually the thrill of something new and exciting will be gone and it may become more routine for her. Even Ox’s sense of humor may grate on her nerves! So let’s just let her enjoy the moment.

    Nancy bartended and Frank cooked. And Luann got a good meal out of it. Plus leftovers! A successful evening for all the DeGroots, I’d say. Unless Puddles didn’t get his pill.

    Maybe Nancy sampled a few of her cocktail creations. Other than that, I would say that she has been pent up (in the home) for 20 years that this is the 1st time she has interacted and engaged herself socially with the outside working world.

    I don’t get it. Why are so many people thinking Nancy is in “mid-life crisis” when all she wants is to get the hell out of the house and be her own person for a change? She wants a JOB, and HER OWN MONEY to spend. I don’t blame her one single bit. It’s not the fifties, when women (supposedly) were content to keep the home fires burning. It’s about time Frank and Luann stopped depending on Nancy to kowtow to their every whim. So, you go, girl!!!

    Signs of a midlife crisis:

    You’re gaining or losing weight.

    You’re apathetic.

    You’re jealous of other people.

    You’re experiencing unusual physical pain.

    You’re asking yourself probing questions.

    You’re making rash decisions.

    You feel like you’re slowly losing your mind.

    You can’t sleep through the night.

    Your vision of the future is dismal.

    You’re constantly bored.

    You have an overwhelming sense of loss.

    You’re concerned about your appearance.

    Or you stop caring about your appearance.

    You think of yourself as an old person.

    You rarely have interest in sex.

    You think your best years are behind you.

    Do any of these sound or look like Nancy?

    I don’t think so.
