The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for March 06, 2012

Is that her pet name for Burl’s manhood his short fuse.

Burl would give any thinking human being high blood pressure.

Leaky is playing hookey again for several days. He heard that the people on the Mississippi side of the river were suffering, so he drove over there to give them all his money. Watta guy, ’eh?

JOY wears her Green Blouse with Orange Flowers to see Dr Harris…. Greetings Crustwood…. 3 straight days of rain here…. at times 3" per hour…. roads closed… but we have TV, Internet and Happy Hour…… Aloha ! ! !

I think we’ve seen this sawbones before, complete with the band-aid on his head. No gloves, no First Aid kit, maybe not even a degree. Perhaps online from Elbonia.Joy’s answer should be: “Well, my sister Verla has HBP.” And she’s only 150# overweight, just like you sweetums.@ODDBALL: You may be right, but there’s definitely not gonna be an explosion and the earth ain’t gonna move!

Wouldn’t that BP cuff work better around Joy’s neck?

Hello Crustwood….

I don’t think I would go to this guy for second or even third aid,Probably the only doctor left in town who’ll still treat the Pennys, though.

The Find-It is a spiral (like the end of a Ho-Ho) but the closest thing I can find has concentric circles, I think.Is that It?

Mikie, I think he earned some sort of doctor-ish certificate by sending in special coupons cut from cereal boxes.

Marg…. yeah…. I hope he doesn’t hear that their jails are sadly empty, and decide to help them out there too. He’s just that generous.

And Aloha GymShoe….

3" an hour? You may have to leave by boat.

Then again, with TV, internet and Happy Hour — who needs to leave?

Hope you saw the answers to you yesterday,

x_Tech — maybe not for her…. but it would give some of us a sense of relief. As long as she survives, of course, so we can make fun of her tomorrow.

Vacuum tubes; I remember when we could pull them out and take them to be checked on a machine in the store.

Good Morning everyone! Does the GBWOF usually have short sleeves or long (does not look like much rolled on her shoulder).Nothing in that office is right (no disposable cover on his table, First aid kit? Never seen one in a doctor’s office- but he used it up on himself so long ago that he MARKED it empty, only dirty gloves (that he doesn’t wear anyway), with those (non automatic) BP devices, his stethoscope needs to be on his ears, things on walls usually relate to the doctor’s specialty, so I guess he only sees overweight patients.

It is true that high blood pressure is hereditary. I got it from my kids.

Good morning fellow Crustwoodians!

The doctor they used to see (maybe the same) had a cabinet with tongue depressors in one drawer, but they kept taking his stock, so now he just brought one in his pocket. The other thing there must be a thermometer (possibly both used).

Of course he has a short fuse. Everything about him is short. Short attention span. Short memory. Short of cash. Short sighted. Short neck. And short “in the shorts.”

Put a ‘Welcome Leaky’ sign in front of your house, surround it with flashing lights, and write ‘Video Poker Available Here’, and he may show up.

she gets it from Hostess, fast food , and cooking with lard.

Miss Scarlett — Yes, I was referring to the stethoscope end, too.

Just didn’t want to give it away so early…. but then I didn’t get a chance to come back.

However, it’s three concentric circles, rather than a spiral, so I wasn’t sure either.
