That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 11, 2019

Marie loved the white dress, but it meant no red wine or spaghetti at dinner.

Judy couldn’t figure why no one loves her as much as she loves herself.

Always wear a pure white poofy dress when scrubbing out your chimney.

Ruth expects Amazon to deliver her wedding veil just in time before the ceremony begins.

If my date brought a spanking paddle I would never leave!

And here she had made an nicely embroidered cover for it that said, “And the Devil take the hindmost!”

And with her new dress, she really had a spanking new outfit!

Advice to Ruth: Never wear a bridal gown on a first date.

Her reflection looks like the portrait of Dorienne Grey.

Now Ruth is less.

Mirror,mirror on the wall……

Her paddle for the bachelor auction after coming back empty-handed.

Fan that fire, Fanny.

Fan that fire, Fanny.

Griselda wanted the Mermaid silhouette, but her overbearing mother insisted on the 19th century Amish wedding dress for her.

“Flies everywhere, Myrtle. I’m so very weary of swatting them and putting them in mom’s oatmeal. I’m leaving. Just thought I’d let you know."

The moment when Ruth decided to postpone the search for Mister Right until after the baby was born.

Is that thing a “vayse”, or a “vozz” ? And vhy do I even vonder ?

How many times must I tell you, the paddle goes with the Lady of Discipline outfit, the strap on with the Bridal Honeymoon costume.

Good joke, but that is a fan given out to churches by the local funeral parlor back in the days before AC. Maybe she ‘acquired’ it there, while waiting for her wedding to start.

Attired in her virginal white/ she’s really a fetching young sprite/ she waits by the fire/ but may one inquire/ her price for a hot “fanny” night ?

I’ve read where she might have better luck if she painted the President’s face on it. Allegedly.

Being brought up in Castle Anthrax seems to have had a down side.

Ruth lamenting over the fact she could only count to nine.

She’s bored, the dress is boring, the painting is boring – even the fan is boring … and I’m so bored by it, I don’t even feel like making a boring comment.

They can’t handle the Ruth!

I’m not a fan.

The paddle shouldn’t come out until after dessert.

Ruth began to think that she was doing the wrong exercise to learn Spock’s ‘live long and prosper’ salute.

Listen, Ruth Whistler, your mama rocks army boots!

how should she love another when she is madly in love with the image in the mirror?

Waiting for Carrier to invent air conditioning.
