I can’t remember how I got Firefox to block ads as my son did it for me and he lives in another state. I am hoping someone with Firefox will be able to help you! ;)

In some ways this week has me feeling like I’m re-watching the final 30 minutes of the final M*A*S*H* episode where everybody is saying goodbye to each other. At least the feelings of sadness of the two feel similar.

She’s waiting until she gets to DC to buy them, especially the mini-fridge. Sure wish I had one downstairs here in my home! That and a small microwave! Then I’d Never have to go upstairs to get an iced tea or something warm to eat. Decadent, I guess! ;)
JayBluE about 10 years ago
Depends on what she takes for courses. and how her schooling is financed. She could get swamped with work or internships so that even if she enjoys her break, she may still be “tied down” to things in the course of her schooling or environs…..
LeoAutodidact about 10 years ago
They DO sell those in DC!
(Air Freight Rates aren’t THAT Cheap!)
JayBluE about 10 years ago
Even now, my wife and I still look to get a mini fridge for the BR. It’ll be like an “oasis” within our “oasis”!

And Delta’s off to Harvard. Not the same as Peru, but close enough for practical purposes.

Her parents aren’t leaving Pittsville are they? That would mean that she will come back home once in a while.

Of course they’ll probably get together during vacations and such, but… that’s very different from getting together whenever. They know they’re at a crossroad even though their friendships will probably continue. And of course, viewed through teenage eyes, that crossroad is more like a giant chasm. ;)

I don’t know if there is another way, but in Firefox I use ABP (AdBlock Plus) as an add-on to the Firefox, and is how I take out most ads

First year of college: holidays and summers back in the hi-school scene with your old friends, almost like nothing had changed. then second year and he real transitions start: the new life and people begin to overshadow the old one. You begin to see how much you’ve changed compared to those who stayed home and didn’t go to college. Much later on, when the reunions begin, then the old friendships begin to reassert themselves in a richer, more mature light.

I am REALLY relating to all the kids going off to live their lives after high school because my son graduated the same year that LuAnn did – 2014. I wonder why Greg finally decided to have them graduate now, and if he will follow up on all the characters
Sisyphos about 10 years ago
XOXOXO, girls. Then, make the break clean and quick.I do hope Delta will return for a visit now and then to compare notes with old BFFs….
Ali Bkk about 10 years ago
I hope we get to see Delta again from time to time, as well as Gunther and Rosa.
King_Shark about 10 years ago
I wonder if the promised new characters won’t be tokens like Delta and Rosa. I also wonder if any Asians (word used as in the British sense) will show up. (I’m interested because, of course, I am one.)

I want to know which airline is letting her fly domestically with THAT much luggage??? At current prices 3 extra bags will cost $750 USD!!!

Luann has the right idea. Best wishes Delta!

“Shouldn’t we have done something better than just… hanging out?”Yes — tickle fight in bra and panties.

I’m just going by what the article said. If Evans doesn’t want us to think he colors his own comics everyday, he should have clarified. Anyone reading that interview could rightfully assume he colors all his comics.
Actually, he did clarify in that Rubben address he gave that @IamJayBlue posted yesterday.

Cripes, You’d THINK that Delta was about to Face a Firing Squad or Something.
WEEP Uncontrollably, Get Your “Group Hug” On and Just LEAVE, Already!!!
Ya’ll DIDN’T Get All That “Weepy” when Gunther was Kicked OUT of the Strip.

See you at Christmas, Delta.
TORAD_07 about 10 years ago
“Goodbye, Farewell and Amen” might work here…
Hopefully not, as that was intended as a final goodbye (as Hawkeye even said so to BJ). We hope to see Delta on vacation, breaks, etc.
axer11 about 10 years ago
I envision Delta probably coming home for this Christmas holiday and perhaps for Spring break, but being the driven character she is, I see her making new friends, establishing new connections and probably getting a Summer internship down in DC with a government agency, or a lobbying firm, Lots of folks settle in the city in which they attended college. DC is a natural fit for Delta.

I downloaded “No-Ads” which helps a lot. Think I found it on Firefox’s “add ons” listed under the “Help” box at the top of the page.
Mayor Snorkum about 10 years ago
That’s right, Luann. Nothing’s better than just hanging out, and that’s just what you’ll be doing all your life. You’re too lazy and stupid to earn a living or get an education.
Linda Pearson about 10 years ago
You should aim those comments at Greg Evans. Luann is after all, one dimensional. lol
reedkomicks Premium Member about 10 years ago
One of the few times in life when you know for sure, that nothing will ever be the same again. Bye Delta..
reedkomicks Premium Member about 10 years ago
A person I know collected mini fridges from outgoing students and is now selling them to incoming freshmen for $10. Just to cover her efforts to transport and clean them. Love the recycling. My daughter was smart enough to wait for a good deal like this rather than pay full price.
maverick1usa about 10 years ago
Seems like graduation just got over – short summer break. But . . . it seemed that way in school also!
JayBluE about 10 years ago
“Goodbye, Farewell and Amen” might work here…” ^It does, work, and it has reminded people of the last M* A* S* H*, but I considered that “pet peeve” of yours (Lol!) and considered that it would sound too much like the whole thing was going away, instead of just a person. I figured to save that one, for a really big occaision…..
JayBluE about 10 years ago
“You’ve heard of the song, “Delta Dawn”? Well, this is “Delta Gone”!” ^I also considered this one (as on the surface, it sounded catchy and humorous and a bit of reference) on Tues. or Wed., but the “Delta Dawn” in the song ‘lost her mind" waiting for someone who jilted her and “withered” away, somewhat… I didn’t want to put that on “our” Delta, and I had also considered that the wistful sadness from the song might “overwhelm” that… but that’s just “what was turning in my own cogs” upon thought of it…..

No one brings stereos to college anymore. Music comes from tiny electronic devices – possible plugged into a set of speakers – but more often connected to ear buds.

For Firefox users go to add ons and install Adblock Plus and Ghostery to rid yourself of most of the adds and trackers that clutter up the internet.

This is what a ceremony is for— to bring closure. Quick, invent one! Have a glass of grape juice and each person make a toast to the future. Followed by a hug. Or each person sing part of a favorite song, followed by a hug.*Repeat each time you part. For decades.

melmarsh9v about 10 years ago
I was one of those millions of people who watched the last episode of M*A*S*H, but after all these many years, all I remember about it is that everybody said good-bye to everyone else. Now that the farewell scene is over, it is time to get on with some more substantial plotlines. I am anxious to see Luann’s first days of college!
Sheriff Mordecai Premium Member about 10 years ago
maybe it’s been mentioned here before, but In math, delta is all about change.
TORAD_07 about 10 years ago
In that case, shall we try “Someday, We’ll Be Together”?
Much better, I think, :-)

I wonder how much Luann and Bernice will see of each other when one is at Community College and one is at Moony U.

There are stores that can ship items to not only to the college, but to the dorm room. Bed, Bath and Beyond does this. My brother did this for his children.

Ok, who’s up next for goodbyes? Knute?
Well, we still have a bit of unfinished business with TJ. I think he will be next. He needs, at least, to leave the Horner house so that Toni can move in, after she/Brad are married. But I don’t know what else Evans can do with TJ once Brad has to focus on Toni.
Knute was not as much a drain on TJ’s time/effort, but he was kind of a compliment to Gunther. Since he’s no longer active in the strip, Knute might have some issues, unless he can strike up something with Crystal, of he can function on his own (i.e. get a job at Weenie World). I would like to see Knute and Crystal continue on, but one never knows.

Take a mental snapshot of the moment, girls, because “you can’t go home again.” (Although college kids tend to do just that when they can’t find a job).
ORMouseworks about 10 years ago
I’ve tried some searching on “Classmates,” but decided it wasn’t worth paying for. So, I used FB to try to find old friends. Since I really didn’t have any guy friends in HS, most of my friends were girls. The problem with that is most got married, probably at least twice, and now use their married names. I have a few more to check out whenever I get back on FB, probably not today… ;)
