Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 16, 2015

Nancy is somewhat of a lazy bones, She’ll get up evcentually and go sit in her pool all day. Have you seen the state of her house? Shameful

Muffin also doesn’t like dirt,

Sometimes she has second thoughts about her behavior, not often enough tho…..

Its no wonder Nancy is constantly in a confused state, Her house is a hot bed of weird,

Muffin,,,,ah Muffin, He doesn’t really like any of the neighbors, and Colleen doesn’t really like him either, They have been living together for 12 years. Muffin has a short fuse.

After that little stunt, I’d say Muffin has earned a little pool time for him or her self.

It’s Muffin’s way of saying what cats always say: Feed Me!

I got smacked with a ruler in the 7th grade, Left welts it did!

2Old… let’s see…. around 1950?President Truman?King George VI?Sukarno?No, I guess not….

Muffin’s brain is apparently not quite as sharp as his claws.

You know, when I hear the name “Muffin” in this neighborhood, I think of the little champagne poodle who is owned by the….no…who owns the Findlays…

Both Muffins are rather ill-tempered….I suppose there’s no way they could be …. hmm…distant cousins?Nah…. didn’t think so….

I nearly spit out my coffee at that one! My first and only ruler on the hand was in second grade. No wonder I aim to please! OUCH!

I gather you were getting ‘pointers’ from the teacher ?

Good morning all. I do NOT trust Muffin[the toon] but I am sitting here eating a Muffin[raisin bran] for breakfast.:) ha,haa.Spot’s vet visit went well yesterday,some tests and results will be in today. heart and lungs;GOOD. Stupid shedding is getting hair in his throat and he wheezez a bunch,after licking paws,etc.sigh. He’s 17,I’m just trying to make him comfortable.Have a great day everyone. Peace.

Both Muffin, the cat and Muffin, the faux dog, suffer from bad attitudes do to genus identification problems.

Muffin ( Felis catus ) isn’t in touch with his inner pussycat and really believes himself to be the big cat ( Panthera tigris ) on the block. And for the most part he is. You really don’t want to try to pet this guy.

Muffin ( Canis lupus familiaris) unfortunately doesn’t think he’s a tiny pampered pup but the big bad Canis lupus. However, this is a case where size indeed matters. No matter how much Muffin desires to be the leader of the pack, he can’t run with the big dogs in the neighborhood, like Scooter. So he is reduced to taking out his aggressions on unsuspecting humans.

My name in Nancy and all this hits a little too close to home…..except for hitting myself with a ruler – I’m not into pain. And I do cross-stitch – not knitted pictures. Knitted pictures??

Vet called and Spot’s liver,etc. are OK. So i’m going to try some non-steroidal meds for his hip,knee stiffness,an anti-inflammatory drug. Fingers crossed. He ‘will’ be OK. Peace. :)

Nancy has a soggy bottom.

@ susanMuffins come assorted at Ballard Street. Nutty, fruity and Muffin-top!

My excuse for being so slow to notice is that I had a fever. And I am sticking to my story!

@ BevSomething about a shortage of carrot carvers…________________Shikamoo! GoComics PRO Member said, 7 minutes ago@beviekWell, next time, be careful, young Lady, or I shall have to resort to cruel and unusual punishment. I will tell Fireman that you have been posting questionable carrots.Wait, Fireman won’t care, will he? He asks me if you have a calendar out yet: Rooty BeautiesSigh, I may have to monitor this site more often…

Hi Happy X #I will try to visit your site soon. things are tight at the moment, but it is a good cause.

I don’t even remember what I did, but I got lots of points (especially with the boys) for not crying. She got me with the metal edge.Catholic School….prepares you for what? Ignorance, intolerance and no my kids went to public school, Only marginally better, but at least they didn’t smack you on the back of the head or hit you with rulers.When we got to high school the nuns didn’t know what to do with us, *They grew up in the 30s and 40s when girls were chaste and demure, we smoked, drank and swore like sailors. And that was at a girls school!

…..continued, not actually at school, but the attitude carried over.

Update.I was wrong yesterday about not getting any visitors.The dashboard doesn’t keep a running tally, it just says what yesterday was like.So, yesterday i had 25 visits and $0.Today i have had ? visits, but two people donated. I’m now at $1,055.00And still nothing from my family or fb “friends”.One donator did become a fb “friend” after donating.But nothing from my older contacts. I did get some good ideas from donars about spreading the word about my campaign. A couple of them i had in my mind already, but some i hadn’t even considered.Come Tuesday I’m going to try the newspaper office in Newport.
