The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for December 26, 2011

Jer’s back, no more solo dinners for Verl. Good morning my fellow Crustwoodians.

Hope everyone had a happy Christmas. About the strip….“Tell Burl to bring home shredder. Tell Burl to order new shredder for work.” Why do they need prepaid credit cards when Burl can just “borrow” from work? “Poor” Jerry: everyone would have been digging in his trash for account numbers to the water and trash company. Who know what disaster he averted by shredding his bills. Phew! “Butt” I still remember the superman panties in his trash from one strip a while back. Eww. Can’t imagine ANYONE digging in Jerry’s trash. Can you?

Finding a ¢ at the Penny household. How fitting!

Doesn’t Joy have bills to be shredded in her pocket along with cash? Nothing sadder than shredded cash. Becky is right, CW U-Stor-It would be Penny Nirvana if they had food. I wonder if they are close enough for Burl to run extension cords to steal power?Good morning everyone, including you, Leaky wherever you are.

A merry day-after-Christmas Morning, Crustwoodians…. or Happy Boxing Day, to them what has it.

Hope everyone had a good time.

Shredding your bills is like making sure you have a strong password on the TV listings website.

Unnecessary protection.

(And is that ….cough …. like Burl buying condoms?) (ok sorry.

Anyhow, I think Jer shreds his bills before he pays them and then calls and says he didn’t get one.

Before he had a shredder he used to ask for more time cos the dog ate them.

Becky, I think Jerry’s trash is an official Superfund site.

And GymShoe — it’s baaack! Did she rinse it before the holidays, so it just got dry?

They should all shred their credit cards.

It’s been many years since your credit card number appeared on receipts. That’s what Susan was referring to in her post, I believe. We should shred the statements we get from the credit card company, though. Those usually have card numbers on them.

Good morning all! Susan, I don’t think it would take this much time to dry. I forgot to hang the stuff in the washer from yesterday. Too much paper stuff to shred; that’s why I opted for paper free on my credit cards since I always pay online. I especially hated those whole sheets of checks they were sending, trying to get me to OWE. And recycle doesn’t want shreded paper inless I enclose it in a box.

who was it said: ""Credit’ is just a pretty word banks use for ’Debt’"?so true. your credit line is now 50000 dollars! wow. 50 grand in debt. i cringe at 400 dollar gas and 170 dollar VePCo bills.propane has gotten ridiculous.

Weigh and tamp their bills? How much did they charge??

mikie I just saw your contest that you posted on Dec. 24th. Yes, I do know where he is, but I am sworn to the utmost secrecy. One of your guesses was real hot…

What’d I say; Jerry disappears for any Holiday requiring a gift. He was probably “in transit” for Christmas so he didn’t have to buy anything for Verla or Ma Zwank..Nothing like holing up in a super 8 in Kentucky on Christmas Day.

Now I’ve been catching up on some past posts. I am concerned about vldazzle speaking with her boyfriend over the phone. Is she not aware that with todays modern technology that you can get pregnant via the “phone” or the “internet”?? It is commonly called “wi-fi osmosis”……sometimes resulting in multiple births. I suggest she go to the drug store and get one of those “kits”

The big news down here is…………..Tonight in the Superdome, the “dirty birds” will take on the New Orleans Saints!!If you wanna see the Rembrandt of quarterbacks, tune in and watch Drew Brees, he is an artist at work.!!

Geaux Saints!!

Hey Leaky — welcome back!

No longer in witness protection??? Does that mean you need some other kind? (ok, ok… I’ll be good….)

Ray and all — actually I meant bills like gas and electricity, cos that’s what Becky was talking about.

Credit card bills I would shred, if I had any… or a shredder.

IE, it’s about as important to protect my utility bills as my TV listings… yet that site recently made me add 2 characters to my password.

It’s so secret I’d post it, just so you could all see the schedule for the one channel I get, but I use the same one on several sites requiring equal “security.”

I know the real reason they make us “register” is to collect information.

So did you guys know I’m 105, male, and earn $900 a year? Well, some web sites “know” that. They also know my zip code… if I lived about 10 miles from here.

And @Toofunny — that’s "weigh and Stamp ".

Joy apparently thinks if her bill payment envelopes weigh less than an ounce apiece, she’ll be charged less to mail the stack at the PO counter than the price of individual stamps.

Good luck with that, Joy.

Hi… Your comments are too late today… I am afraid you will discover as I have….. that if you comment late…. no one will ever read them……! ? ! & * % # *

If a tree falls in the woods…. And no one is there to hear it…. Does it make any sound at all…. ? ? ?

But Leaky at my age I don’t have to worry about that or any “kits”, but thanks! I just finished checking the story of Rudolph that a cousin sent me and I sent a corrected one from Snopes (only possible with screen prints now-a-days) but I sent just to my family as I have a Rudolf son (named after his dad).

And Susan, I also noticed that Joy thought that about mailing bills (does anyone still MAIL bills?). @Gym shoe, on our favorite strips we may check in more often than on Facebook!

Well I think Leaky’s dancing drunken and disorderly in N’Oreans now. Great game by the Saints and great game by Mr. Brees, taking the record away from Marino who never won a Superbowl, but threw for a lot of passing yards, like Mr. Fouts.
