For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 20, 2021

So love is a disease. Cured with a divorce with the potential of recurring this disease in the future.

Er… you’re welcome?

According to the Medicinenet, problems that have the symptoms Gordon is describing are:

Dyspepsia, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, or drug interactions.

Isn’t love wonderful?

“And I can’t taste my food or smell anything!”

And Gordon will have Michael to thank when his grades start slipping and he’s beaten up by his drunken father.

Mike: “Hey, glad I could help!”

Together with Tracey, this disease will manifest itself in the form of meddling in the affairs of others, enabling bad behavior, manipulating situations which are none of their business, and inserting themselves into other people’s lives where they aren’t wanted.

Effing Hormones!

Sort of Mike’s zits’ fault, but, whatever. Take it in and bask in the glory for now. However it goes, Mike has probably lost a good friend. At least until he can get a girl and they can double date.

This is the euphoric up side of falling in love – to be matched with the down side if/when they break up. And he’ll blame Mike for that too.

And symptoms of love.

Did anyone else notice that Mike’s zit has gone?

He has puppy love!

Love is the drug I’m thinking of

I remember those days… Wish it would happen again.

You, Gordon, are lucky she overlooks the hat.

Tom Jones will now sing “You Can Leave Your Hat On”.

You poor guy! You should pay a visit to the local funeral home top make some special arrangements…

“No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry" – Bob Marley

Love is patient, love is kind

No eyes of envy, true love is blind

Love is humble, it knows no pride

No selfish motive hidden inside

Love is gentle, makes no demands

Despite all wrong, true love still stands

Love is holy, love is pure

It lasts forever, it will endure

- Bob Hartman (Petra)-

So say you’re welcome, Mike.

Sure aren’t spending much time in class learning their critical race theory indoctrination, oops I mean…lessons.

Because you’re mine…the brightest star I see…looks down,My Love and envies me…..Because You’re Mine……

“Maybe I didn’t treat you

Quite as good as I should have

Maybe I didn’t love you

Quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind" – Elvis, but in my mind the best version is by Willie Nelson

Moral here is, If you don’t take care of her, someone else will.

Well, so it seems that Gordon is in lovesickness. But things are looking good despite the symptoms. His feelings are requited by Tracey, so… excelsior!

Remember guys, what women are looking for is for you to say those three little words: “I’m a millionaire”.

Gordo is bringing back memories when I was his age. You never forget that feeling. :-)
