The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for January 15, 2012

Patty is on to something there, Joy.

Good morning Crustwoodians!

Leaky spontaneously combusted tonight, and may not be able to appear until Monday.

What a shining example of amicabililty! Good morning Crustwood!

Well, Peggy Dunn has it figured out. I’m surprised she doesn’t hold up a cross or a mirror or throw holy water or something! And how nice of Joy to return the Friendship Bread because it was too sweet for her sensibilities. That’ll surely incent Connie to try harder and make more.Re: Poor Leaky, I believe I saw the glow of the flames from here in Houston. I am so sorry. What a game. Come back. Grab a win. Have it grabbed back right at the end. Whew!Good morning my friends.

Good Morning Crustwood —

Yeah, what ARE friends for anyway?They eat your food, expect rides to the airport, give you presents so you have to buy THEM stuff…… and then on top pf everything, they make you “friendship bread” that’s too sweet.

So who needs friends?Joy will only have to make her own side of the bed today; the other day the wall motto was “The world is MY oyster.”

It’s a wonder they raised a child, and she still comes back to see them.

Sorry to hear about Leaky, Marg —if it’s true.

Just remember, if he’s threatening you, so you’ll lie for him…. we can find you a lawyer. You were young. I’m sure your record isn’t insurmountable.

Gymshoe — if you didn’t see it, welcome back — but I hope you read the comments to you yesterday and before.

Hi

Now if I were Peggy Dunn would I say hi to them? Nope. I’d start walking at a fast pace then break into a run.

By the way, who said that last one? Burl?

Oh and Good Morning, All

The only way this group “breaks the ice” is with a sledge hammer.

Good Morning, all!Poor Leaky! But that’s what happens when guys identify with a sports team. Those teams don’t even keep the same players for years the way they did when I was young. I know my sons watch that stuff too, and even I like it when I hear our teams are winning. I don’t really CARE, tho and I see that players have no loyalty to a specific team (and even less to their fans). I wish the site would always give us the magnifier (I just woke up, it’s still dark and my vision is not clear yet).

Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross in “That’s what Friends are for”:

I wish Romo would leave the Cowboys.

He can’t help it, he just bursts into flame. It’s hard on his furniture.

@Raspberryice: that song was done by several. The time period that you mention, probably would have been Whitney Huston (later the song was paraded with a song that went, That’s What Coke is For)

@SusanSunshine: What is this about giving you gifts so you have to buy them? Did you not appreciate the washrags I gave you for Christmas?!?! I thought they were nice, even made sure not to give you two exactly the same color so you didn’t have to tolerate redundancy and none of them had more than one snag on each one. I am really hurt now. You know I was saving a pen that had my bank’s name on it for your birthday, but now, well you can just forget it. I’ll give it to my mom instead. sniff

I have an idea, why don’t we put Leaky’s condition to good use? I have put some attachments to a metal box in my basement. If he sits in it when he feels he is going to combust, we could power two or three houses for a couple of days. Just putting it out there.

Good morning all. It looks like Ms. Larson is giving us a shout out with Joy’s shirt? Maybe.

What really combusted all night was my walletI took a blood bath!!

This is the Penny’s world, and we just live in it.
