    Hullo Crustwoodians…

    I’m a little late…. yawn… after a busy day and a few things to do on the computer tonight…

    and I know I fall asleep in my chair sometimes….but I didn’t think I slept till NOVEMBER!

    GymShoe! Is it Thanksgiving???

    Wait… I just remembered the 14 turkeys in their garage freezer.

    This one could be from 1997… and not one of the “good” ones cos they’re sharing it.

    I believe it’s from the $5 frozen turkey sale they have every Thanksgiving at MegaMart…. where the Penny’s buy a few more turkeys for the freezer….

    And yup…. what doesn’t work right in this picture is definitely the photographer.

    Blame the camera cos you dropped it.

    Like suing McDonald’s cos you ate there too much and got fat…Oh wait — somebody WON that lawsuit.What a world!

    Meanwhile…. I got back too late for yewsterday so….

    GymShoe — Northern or Southern CA?I am sorta near San Francisco and so is x_Tech, though a different direction and we’ve never met.Anybody else?

    I still fantasize a Crustwood party!

    And some of those grocery prices are high, but some are pretty normal for right here, not that I buy that stuff..

    “Pepsi -12/12 oz – must buy 3 for $13”

    That’s $4.33 a 12/pack, which is considered cheap… though if I buy any at all it’s off brand for half that.

    “Boneless Siloin tip roast $4.79/lb” — costs even more here, I THINK, though out of my league…

    “Bounty Basic paper towels 6 rolls for $5.99.” — also more here.

    “Gas here is $4.619/gal”I paid $4.25 or so yesterday.

    The rest seemed outrageous — especially for local bananas!

    Dazz —Had the page open earlier but no time to post the link…. a little silly now, but anyway, here’s ….Wag’s

    And Ellen Gwynne, me too. :)

    Hello Possums, If you are confused when you look at my avatar because you think its a likeness of VLDAZZLE, you are almost correct.You see possums, vldazzle and myself were twins……..we were seperated at birth many many MANY years ago. I went on to achieve great fame and fortune and she went on to………well, I’ll try to be kind…… “commenting on little comic strips and trying to entrap a gigilo”!!You see possums, on one of her visits to his very modest condo, she found a pair of womens underwear along with a pair of crotchless pantyhose!! She knew they were not hers, but imagine her dismay and utter horror when she found out they were HISBut I digress……….far be it from me to besmirch someones already tawdry reputation!!Catching up on some of the recent comments, I’ve noticed (very sadly noticed may I add) some of you get a rather “giddy” pleasure when little Julie Larson sends one of her short notes to the comment section.And if she perchance mentions what some of you THINK is a reference to one of you in her little cartoon………you’re absolutely overcome with glee and joy.Poor little possums, trying to milk the celebrity bandwagon for their 15 minutes of recognition. Well, you’re time is up possums.Many of you are probably unaware that it was me who helped little Julie get her start as a cartoon artist. And as you can see, I’ve done my job very well.As far as celebrity goes………..I must tell you that many eons ago, I sat at a blackjack table in Las Vegas with one of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood.Brace yourself possums, I actually played blackjack with………….none other than……Polly Bergen, eat your hearts out.After you pick up your respective jaws from the floor (because I know many of you are in awe) ……….you can now see how foolish your actions were

    Thats it for now possums…………..try not to be too envious!!

    Maybe Burl was dropped on his head. Gawd nose there are fewer important parts inside it than in the stupid camera.

    Probably switched it to “off” from the fall….but since Burl already turned it “on” he’s too moronic to chech it again. (Yes……this is from personal experience!)

    It wasn’t being dropped. Poor thing took one look at the subject and short circuited.

    Good Morning all! And welcome back, Dame Edna (glad to see they finally let you out). I still think it says Used Cats, and at first glance I thought that was a brown cat curled up on the table instead of a turkey. And I don’t play Blackjack well enough to play at tables with anyone famous. Even my BF was annoyed with me because (on my one and only trip to Vegas) I played the same as with family (only on my own single hand without any fancy splitting or playing on someone else). I was just there to have fun and enjoy dressing up and enjoying the drinks. I never played any tables of over $20, and when there were too few of those at prime time, I went up for a nap and came back after 1 AM. I didn’t try to get ahead, but I did once (a few hundred for quite a while, but I just wanted to play). It was fun and we saw Circ as well as another show. I don’t care to go there again.

    I roast a whole turkey breast every time I eat all of it (about every 6 weeks). I buy a little sliced roast beef in my grocery deli because I like it red (and eat that a max of 2 servings per week). I make my pizza with lots of cheese and a little pepperoni. May sound monotonous, but it’s what I like best, and my side dishes vary.

    Dame Edna, welcome to Crustwood. It’s not often that we have a celebrity of your stature visit our humble little town.

    And where is little mikie2?? I’ve heard so much about that little possum that I was hoping to meet him before I have to leave.

    I understand that Susan is also a ray of sunshine in this otherwise drearly little community.Well possums, I must be on my way………..my flight is leaving shortly, it’s been a fun visit.

    If Burl will hold that camera in the toilet for just a minute while he flushes, it’ll work like a dream. It even works if the toilet has not been just used. Actually, this is an old trick of Dale’s, he’s just too sensitive to mention it at the table. (He normally uses the toilet first because he’s conscientious about not wasting water.)

    Most everything needs a good flushing now and then.

    Actually, leaky- um Edna, I don’t OWN any shot glasses. I like colored glass and mostly tall stemmed wine goblets for gin on the rocks, tiny shapes of liquor glasses for my homemade limonchello or other sweet things, and I pour a little brandy or conac into my expresso cup if having an afternoon coffee pot of expresso.

    I went to the mall today and mostly shopped for a couple of perfect shoes for my Chicago trip (silver sparkley pumps with a spiked 4.5" heel and a little platform to wear to the party) and a nice little everyday beige pair with a low heel. I may go back for another pair now that I’m thinking about it, There was one that would look great with my red dress (the silver are OK but wearing the same pair much :-( and Leaky, I also bought liquor for the month, a white 20" zipper for my dress and 6 yards of navy lace hemming tape for the blue velvet dress I’ll hem this week for a friend.

    This place cracks me up….

    Dunno who’s nuttier…. when the inmates run the asylum!

    Yeah yeah, I mean me too!

    Meanwhile…. Edna, Edna…. it’s marvelous to see you.

    And I barely notice any leaks at all…. the Depends must be working….

    But I’m starting to think your sister Dazz might just be a lush, as you’ve always claimed…. to say nothing of a shoe junkie.

    Aw, too bad GymShoe — and YES… please leave that torrrential rain right where you found it.

    Up here, we just started getting some of the water we lacked all winter…. but we don’t need waterfalls!

    acesover — would that work on Burl’s whole body???

    Is not my current little boy a cutie? This was his first Christmas picture on the perch of his gram scale (a gift from Uncle Mike- my youngest son).

    No, Edna, I eat the whole thing within the following 6 weeks. I eat the recommended portion sizes. My sentence structures may not always be clear. It is better to do a whole breast at a time because of work involved in roasting with fresh herbs from the garden and mirepoix..Since this photo, Fitz has nibbled away at his wooden perch quite a bit.

    Edna, as you know I have never been engaged in THAT profession (tho’ I may have considered it in my youth). I opted for metallic for my daughters “white party” to be able to wear for other stuff and I want them high because I am only 60" in height ;-P
