    Not to break any confidence…………But Marg said she feels her biological clock ticking………..so her and Don are going to try for another child before time slips away. …………..So she won’t be here tonight.

    I have to assume that cleaning the pilot light with a vac is OK becuz Joy surely knows how to safely deal with gas.

    Leaky, you’re right, tho she does kinda remind me of an elephant seal.

    Leaving her sonic ear on the table reminds me (again) of my late F-I-L. He would come over and my wife would ask him if he had his hearing aid. He’d smile, pat his pocket and say yes.

    It’s that time again….good morning, Crustwoodians!Did you sleep well?Great to see you back again “today,” Leaky…I thought we’d have to wait another week or two for that pleasure.That reminds me….Radish (in whatever proportions) … did you mean someone in the strip…. or Marg and Don?Mikie, when I first moved here, most of my neighbors were elderly…and most of our conversations were inadvertent vaudeville routines.“Where ya going, Jim?”“Fine thanks… you?”“That’s a pretty dress, Margaret… is it new?”“No, it wasn’t me… it must have been Dorothy.”(Those are as close to actual quotes as I can remember.)And Margaret and Jim and half the rest wore hearing aids…but seldom remembered to put them in, or replace the batteries.. or realised they hadn’t.

    BTW… a “Sonic Ear” AFAIK isn’t a real hearing aid, it’s one of those $30 amplifier devices that help some, but not most, people.

    Ma probably saw it in the Sunday newspaper coupon section, and sent away for it.

    And I see they gave up for the moment on trying to get their friends to trust them with keys…and filled the rack with something they have in plenty….stolen flatware.

    I found the ‘find it’ before I knew what the ‘find it’ was…then I wished I didn’t.

    While everyone has (rightly) commented on the sizes of Ma and Joy… what about the apparently ever more “doughy” look of Burl? His eyes, mouth, ears, and nose seem to get ever smaller and his facial features become less and less defined (no chin for sure) as his face approaches a beachball-like look.
