Overboard by Chip Dunham for November 04, 2013

What a nice comic for an early Monday morning and a start of the week. I feel like the thing looks..However:.

GOOG MORNING, CREW!

End of an era.

He’d have to be real good.

Good morning, Crew!

Good Morning Crew,All good things must come to an end. A Pumpkin Lift is in order…..Have a GREAT DAY MATIE’S

Good Morning Crew. Time to put pumpkins away, and pin a blood drawing poppy to the left lapel of your coat. Lest we Forget, right? ..Dry – it got to -4C yesterday. That’s roughly 28F. Was B-E-A-utiful, like you are. :D

Ooooh, good meals offered to you vets on 11/11. Olive Garden, Applebees, Red Robin, etc. etc. etc. Last year at Applebees a Boy Scout troop came in with leaders and the young boys went around to all the tables, had an honor guard. Some vets had tears. LEST WE FORGET…….WE will never forget.Make a pumpkin pie, mouse!

Remember…there was a crooked man, he had a crooked house, he had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse……and, that looks like a crooked mouse in the strip today.

Good afternoon Crew!

Allan, careful, all that sweet talk will swell my head. Thank you Sir! ;-D

Time to exfoliage

@Dry re the blood yesterday. I talked to my Aunt, who has been a nurse since the late 1970’s .. .we agree it was either a) my nose bleeding after being clogged or b) the back of my throat, as I’m “harumfing” to try to dislodge phlegm and clear the throat, so it’s overly sore, and probable that I ‘tore’ the lining a small bit. She said if it gets worse to go to ER>

Allan my mom was a nurse. In fact, she was a LT. in the Army Nurse Corps. in World War 2! I think nurses sometimes know more than the doctors, especially, the ones who weren’t “BOOK LEARNED” as much as being on the floor and being trained. I can remember my mom ironing her WHITE uniforms, NO SLACKS in her day, which she wouldn’t have worn anyway, not professional. And starching and ironing her Nurses Cap. Back in the day, the nurses would wear their nursing school pin on their caps. Now you can’t tell a nurse from a nurses aide, or the cleaning ladies for that matter. Sad.

Mom always hoped I would become a nurse, but once when I was about 10 my Dad and I went to pick mom up from work, and they wheeled this guy from the ambulance in front of me who had lost his toes under his lawnmower, that ended that idea for me! I didn’t have the courage or strength to follow that career.

My aunt was a nurse under General Patton….I wish I had thought to ask questions. I missed out not thinking to ask my grandparents lots of questions…..alas.
