That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 29, 2021

Twelve days later, Brigid was still in her St. Patrick’s Day dress.

“How do I sneak a shot of brandy into my tea. Or maybe I should just offer everyone a shot.” The tea party really picked up after Margo made her decision.

Throwing shade, Victorian style…

♫“I don’t really see – why can’t we go on as three?”♫ Especially with the help of this “special” tea!

Tea and sympathy may work for some/ but Griselda is ever so glum../ Suzanne thinks what’s needed/ (let’s hope she is heeded)/ is a fifth of Jamaican rum..///Since Adalbert turned his attention/ to another, whose name we won’t mention/ her chief consolation/ is inebriation/ which she takes to another dimension///But the passage of time will show/ what her cute friend Suzanne seems to know:/ that men are like trains../big engines – no brains/ and they come just as fast as they go…

the ladies get together to go over their screenplay for the whales of august…

Tea for three,

And three for tea.

The more we drink,

The more we’ll pee,

The more we pee

How happy we will be!

Don’t mention it unless it runs under your dress and up your leg.

Not to mention the rat on the host’s floor is politeness – not to mention the rat in the otherone’s beverage is the “it’s not my cup of tea”-mentaliTEA

Maybe not a rat but a turd – wondering who left it there and remembering not to step that way

“And now for the special cookies….”

“Thank you Judy for the leftover material from your dress. As you can see, I made a tablecloth out of it.”

“Marilyn, those brownies were delicious. My, my, my, now look at all the happy creatures running ’cross the floor.”

What’ll it be? Eastwick, Macbeth, or another reboot of “Charmed”?

She is right, you can barely see her husband’s blood stains on this carpet. Maybe, I should bring my husband by…

And, I gave up a date with Zack for this?

“Oo Long? Is he really?”

“No, Earl Grey”

“Yes, he is getting a bit old”

“Do you prefer black, green or white?”

“GREEN?? Wait. Are we still talking about men?”

The rat, only if it’s bigger than a dog.

Geez, I knew I should’ve brought my glasses, is that a rat or her Chiuahua?

has info about this artist (again, Chrome can translate if necessary), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. Perhaps those who read German can find more info about him (I couldn’t, that Chrome could automatically translate anyway). So far, 2 works by him have been used here (3 times, including a different caption repeat).

has the prior (the repeat, my comment there included the same artist info URL).

This isn’t tea – it’s actually elderberry wine from an old family secret recipe I received from my aunts – Abby and Martha.

Drink the tea. It’s a family pet…..

pull out said the lady in green, now she messed up her dress.
