The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for March 19, 2012

Hey Dudes…. Welcome to Custwood….. It’s like Monday_ish….. ! ! !BURL called in sick all week….. due to a twisted ankle……………

Burl needs a tongue clamp over his fat mouth!!

Is JOY’s Blouse Green…. with Orange Flowers…. ? ! ?

I actually (snerk) kinda like Burl’s remark, (tee-hee).None of the ladies have much of a nose to speak of, so surgery isn’t really much of an option.

Pretty good pun, Burl. You might consider commenting on GoComics.

Good morning Crustwoodians…I’m back!Yeah, yeah, you didn’t know I was gone….More HoHos…. well, Joy does need a little something to help her unwind…. after all that relaxing.

GymShoe, are you still time traveling?And yes…. why, I do believe it is! What a surprise! Who knew Joy would own a blouse in such exquisite taste?

And Radish — well…. at least you can’t pick your friend’s noses.Unless you’re awfully special friends, I guess.

Marg from yesterday — I didn’t know it ever snowed there! Dazz does it snow where you are too?Cos I thought you guys lived fairly close to each other, and Dazz moved there to avoid snow. We do get a little hail.

And it snows every once in a while…. The last time I can remember that any stayed on the ground for more than a second was….oh…. 1991, I think.But a few flakes in the air…. hmmm…. let’s see….did we have any 2 years ago….?

I think burl is the expert on picky nose.The rain this week end did my vegetable garden good.

She picks her friends, too, but she got in trouble for step #3.

Actually, you can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends. But you can’t pick your friend’s nose!

Does Burl have a new slogan on his cup?

Her nose is training for a Marathon. Just this morning it was running.

Good morning, everybody!!!

Who’s that sitting across from Ma?

It appears that a nose job is only the first thing Joy is going to bring up. The back cover of the magazine is going to spark her interest in a butt lift. While the nose work might be small, a butt lift for any of them will be a heavy lift indeed!We are looking forward to the rain here after CA and AZ have finished with it.

The latest Dr Oz was all about lifting flattening etc. I did not finish watching it. If I had money for “work done” I’d rather do more remodel around the house (replace all the upstairs carpeting with more hardwood and put a raised ceiling area in my bedroom ceiling -to just 10′ × 5′ round with strip lights on a dimmer).

Oh, and after Joy asks for some perscription cough drops, she’ll do one of those Cosmo quizzes (not something as productive as commenting on here ;-P

@coffee-turtle, that’s Patty, Timmy’s older sister. Sometimes it can be hard to tell when Burl is just telling the truth or being a smart-aleck. I think he’s being a smart-aleck. lol

I don’t think it has ever been clearly defined just where Patty fits into the family. Does anyone remember hearing her adressing anyone as Mom or Dad

I’ll bet they’re all pretty picky with their noses, if you know what I mean.

Re; snow in Phoenix, I heard they had a little in the far East burbs (just enough to cover the ground). I’m just far enough from N side of loop 101 to avoid any noise and in my 14 years in my house, there was a little hail/snow just once on a morning which melted on touching the ground. I think it was 99 or 2000.

Yes, Patty often says “DAD!” when chastising Burl for his driving.

Leaky… I seem to have many friends in “high” places….

where is raspberry ice I don’t see her anymore

Yes, it HAS been a while since she spoke out here. Has enyone seen her?

@Leaky, I checked elevation is about 1100 here (same as our SH airport) although there are a few small mountains nearby. and my gin use begins around lunchtime and does not end until bedtime- thanks anyway!

Marg, You think I should start “branching out” to more cartoons??I seem to miss a lot of the action!!

Thanks all and goodnight! My pool service will have it all working tomorrow even with a big bill (worth it)!
