Pluggers by Rick McKee for July 17, 2023

Haven’t seen that character in a loooooong time

He is Hippo. And he hungry hungry hungry.

That’s me except I would remember his dog’s name.

Myself, I have always had trouble remembering people’s names …. ;-)

Not much of a Plugger if you don’t regularly whisper sweet nothings in your wife’s ear. I do it all the time. Usually – “Love you more. Thanks for putting up with me”.

I suspect that Plugger wives had enough “sweet nothings” long ago and are glad for all the “practical somethings” their husbands do.

That’s the only thing my ‘Plugger’ of a wife would hear if I were to whisper—only problem is: she didn’t want to hear them ! ! ! !

Sometimes you don’t have to say a thing – she just knows to tell you the guy’s name without you even having to ask.

As someone who has face blindness I appreciate anyone who helps with adding a name to a face.

It’s Harold Hippo.

I’m not that shy. People who know I forget names and even face. Especially if it’s been a while. I started as a kid, unable to tell one nun from another outside of classes and it’s been downhill from there.

His name is Hi Howarya Howyaduin.

We only know the neighbor to our right and to our left. There is a neighbor across the street that we wave back and forth at – but he lives across a 4 lane main road and in a different community so that is all the contact we have with him. (Last December I said to husband that after 20 or so years we should mail him a Christmas card and introduce ourselves to him – a “new neighbor” since he moved in later we did by 10 years, husband agreed – didn’t get a chance to send cards at all last Christmas. Maybe this coming Christmas.
