The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for March 27, 2013

OK, the arms are weird….Yes, most people sit to clean the fridge. Actually, I’m surprised that she cleans it. Think of all the money they could make by growing mold cultures for science.

I don’t sit to clean the fridge and I don’t wear oven mitts. Hey look…lettuce!!!

Will someone bring Verl another fifty pounds of Oreos?

Careful Miss Scarlet — don’t make assumptions about that green stuff…

An overflowing bowl of green stuff in the Pennys’ refrigerator…. just…might…NOT be lettuce.

A few decades back I saw advice about using your housekeeping chores as exercise, ‘dancing’ with your broom or mop, lifting gallon jugs of milk to tone arms, etc. But sitting to clean the fridge? Yeah, that’s some workout!

Where is Verl’s chignon?

12 oz. curl man, myself. When in intensity training, I grab a sixer of the 16 oz. ones. The 24 oz. are reserved for weekends.

My grandmother used to say that. What is a gomb, anyway? I made a ‘gomb’ out of everything.

Verl is grossing me out, and Joy would find a way to walk while sitting if she could. I was at the mall yesterday and I started looking at all the young women walking by, and was appalled by how heavy they were. Almost everyone was at least 50 lbs overweight! Where is this headed? Our insurance premiums will skyrocket for one, AND the line at Starbucks was out the door! (I drink blacktea/lemonade, unsweetened 130 calories for a vente) People have GOT to start looking at what they eat! Sorry, touchy subject.
