The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for August 28, 2013

Yeah, a pack of vultures.

Good Morning Marg, Susan, Mikie, et all

where are my look for ?

Morning back to you, Leaky…. and everybody.

The meal was good??

Was it take-out?Did a neighbor cook?

Or is this guest a homeless person who hadn’t eaten in a week?

Ah, deep fried twinkies, yum.

And who voted on the “pleasantness” of the company?

I don’t think they should get a vote.

BTW, does Verla have a new beau?

Nah he"s the handy man. That’s his pay for fixing the hinges. He has 2 more doors to do. Burl is picking his teeth and the food has to be take out. These are “classy” people ( in their minds only) after all

Such class.

I agree. While the handyman was belching Burl was blasting one. To be folowed shortly by V&J. Reminds me of the great scene where Mongo entertains the group in Blazing Saddles.

She must have splurged on a Stouffer’s big meal!

Given the company and Burl picking his teeth, I imagine the belch was nearly something else.

reminiscent of the youtube Fail video with the hottub full of people that panic and jump out when the water turns green around one woman…..

I figured also that that MUST be the handiman. And then there are actually many gourmands (such as the Pennys themselves) who just scarf it all down that they never taste the food anyway.

I notice that the chair backs have changed in shape (or is that in response to intensity of the BURP?) I’m late today because I was trying to finish a cartoon avatar for myself. Hardest part was giving the hair the color of my own (everyone else has red and I LIKE this shade of grey). I have never had anyone do a cartoon of me, so I searched out one of the only movie star I’ve been compared to.At least I could wear and do that pose.

O, Leaky, I was getting too sleepy to answer last night but my councilman won our district by 76%. Local elections are still interesting to me (always the optimist, I never quite give up), but I don’t want to talk that stuff.

Have you tried clearing your cache and defragging?………That may help a bit.

That can’t be the handyman, his arms arent hairy enough. Maybe they are at the new resturant the “Gorge and Stuff”. The guys are wearing ties, and there is a tablecloth as well. But who is this guy? We want to know!

With all my photos you really think I look like this?I was married in April 1959 and this one of Debby must be a similar time.I generally don’t often have my own photos but here I was in 2011 with one of youngest son’s birds Debby attended something dated 2011.

That was the best you could DO? I got a lot of cooking done today kidney beans and garbanzos for bean salad tomorrow, my marinara sauce (including some broccoli and lots of merlot in the tomato paste) and I baked some of my old time breakfast bars (which I had not planned, so was short of walnuts and wheat germ). I added extra sunflower seeds and some pine nuts and pistachios. It took some extra time to try to match photos at approx. same years and relative facial positions. I’m thinking tho’ that maybe I should cut my hair in bangs again (have only used briefly) but she has a high forehead as I do and it does her well. I’d think she must have had work on her neck but it looks just about the same as mine (but she IS about 5 years older than I) Some chiffon around the neck does not cover much.

I’m always serious (and truthful) even about all my shenanigans. Even my lover still does not understand that still. I like to tell the truth – sometimes it shocks people more (I KNOW that a lot of mine would). There were times in my life when I was entirely wild and knew . . . things that are hard for some to believe. But I was also a perfectly straight and stayed wife and mother, and only had 4-5 boyfriends when I met my lover (and I got rid of them). My X was still stalking me at the time, and my lover once brought his gun over to discourage him.
