Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 20, 2021

Do not like JJ’s choice. The disappearance of Natalee Holloway kind of soured me on any thought of having anything to do with Aruba.

Since the point of the Comments section is supposed to be about humor instead of murders in Aruba (or your pets) please allow me to share this joke related to Arlo’s handyman prowess:

One day a husband comes home from work. His wife greets him and says, “Honey, you know, in the upstairs bathroom one of the pipes is leaking, could you fix it?” The husband says, “What do I look like, Mr. Plumber?”

A few days go by, and he comes home from work and his wife says, “Honey, my car won’t start. I think it needs a new battery. Could you change it for me?” He says: “What do I look like, Mr. Goodwrench?”

Another few days go by, and it’s raining pretty hard. The wife finds a leak in the roof. She says, “Honey, there’s a leak on the roof! Can you please fix it?” He says, “What do I look like, Bob Vila?”

The next day the husband comes home, and the roof is fixed. So is the plumbing. So is the car. He asks his wife what happened.

“Oh, I had a handyman come in and fix them,” she says.

“Great! What did he charge?” he says. “Nothing. He said he’d do it for free if I either baked him a cake or slept with him.”

“Cheeky! Well, what kind of cake did you make?” asks the husband.

“What do I look like,” she says, “Betty Crocker?”

Have any of you noticed above the COMMENT POLICY and SHOW/HIDE ALL COMMENTS would flip flop yesterday? It is annoying to accidently tap the Comment Policy and have to come back to the toons

Only post photos that feature one of your pets.

At the moment, Aruba is 82, cloudy, windy and 79% (oppressive) humidity.

I’d rather be in Ontario.

It’s hard to keep up with the Lairds. (nouveau riche, you know.)

Aruba, Bali, anywhere USA- there are bad people, bad things happening but let’s not paint the whole with that brush but remember and honor and be joyful for the vast majority of the world who live with good hearts and have beauty to share

A “friend” does that to me all the time

I expect that The Lairds send those nauseating, humble brag Christmas letters too.

“My Hero and our new Bluebird House…..” now that is a loving wife. As Coach Dye said to me once about my wife, “Son you out kicked your coverage! You better work hard to keep her.”

Why is it, “on” an island or continent, but “in” a country, state, or city? I understand in the air or water, and recognize the difference between on the ground and in the ground.

Where are the kids ? Not even a Father’s Day phone call/text ?

I don’t know why people brag about traveling. A and J could go to Aruba if they wanted to. Traveling to a tropical island is not an accomplishment.

Never signed onto Facebook and never will. People post way to much information. One of our daughters husbands grandparents posted about how they were leaving for some time on vacation. TMI, they also posted about everything they had in their house, again TMI.

They came home to a totally empty house. Everything gone. Including their HVAC. Burglars had brought a moving truck and cleaned out the entire house

And here I thought Aruba was a type of furniture wax…

I guess it depends on your attitude and life experiences. When I hear stuff like that my first overpowering thought is thank God I am not in Aruba.

It’s just a bird house?
