Love the antimacassars changing to “Uh Oh.”Joy has magic powers. Everywhere she drives, boulders walk, red lights turn green, straight roads curve, and parking places shrink.Oh — and parking meters give you 47 minutes for an hour (like psychiatrists.).Puzzling out CHCC… we’ve seen that before. OH, right… stolen from Crustwood Heights Country Club, I bet. IHOP is almost amusing for breakfast…or would be if it were still cheap.I went there afew months ago, and I’ve never seen another restaurant with miniature food like that.Three eggs, three pancakes and four slices of bacon sounds like too much food, but….the eggs are banty size, the pancakes small, and you can almost read through the bacon.However the friend who dragged me there likes it cos they have 2 for one dinners for seniors on Wednesdays. Not breakfast items, not great, but not horrible. And Leaky… it depends,
Good morning all! My eye is just about cleared up and the citrus blooms are practically done. I LOVE the scent but do have allergies. I had a little “trouble” reading Joy’s shirt (one of the 3 things that changed between the panels)..Leaky, I won’t be staying in a guest room (my clothes will and I can change in there- not enough closet space in his room).Have not been to an I Hop since I moved in 98. The only Cracker Barrel I ever went to was for an event planning meeting w SCA friends. We all agreed to order something as we were occupying a table, so I had apple pie- OK. I prefer home cooking except for really good restaurants (but don’t mind Outback for some prime rib as long as it’s rare).
Every show they’ve ever been to was on ice ;-D and I suppose that refers to her careless driving. And as none of them could ever have taken an exercise class, much less done olympic training, I guess Jerry bought that shirt in a garage sale, in another town (Crustwood Heights?)
Is Leaky’s avatar the mug shot of what’s his name? (some actor) I know I’ve seen that on TMZ. I haven’t decided whether to change mine from Big Red (name of the 9 year old hawk at Cornell). I may keep it until eggs hatch in mid April.

DAZZ, we have a mourning dove nesting in a planter box on the the top rack of a bakers rack that is standing on our patio. My husband discovered her yesterday, and we’re keeping an eye on her. Pictures were posted on that social media if you’d like to see them. What is you name over there again, please?
Dazz, go to your home page, click on ‘profile’. Click on ‘edit profile’. In information, where it says ‘first name’, you can type in whatever you want. :-)
I would suggest you do the same thing Gym ShoeI have never said anything discourteous to you, yet you seem to have a problem.Now, we can continue this till one of us gets banned (bring it on)… or you can get a book and see if you can “Find Waldo”
I guess I learned that my name can’t have an apostophe in it, so I could not post more than once with “BF’s girl” (after my test) I no longer saw any comments when I hit “all”. For the moment I’ll just use DAZZ.
Leaky and GymShoe — stand down!I like you both and I hate to see squabbling here.Leaky, I took Mona’s comment as joking… same way you and I dish it out.I could be wrong but why not take it that way.GymShoe, I understand your concern,and I really like talking to you…. but I’ve said before that I believe ALL comments here, no matter to whom they’re nominally directed, are for EVERYONE to read, even all the forum readers who never post.People banter here partially to amuse those not involved.it’s like an old Bob Hope movie. We’d never know his funny quips and insults if they weren’t filmed for an audience.Anyway, most of us don’t have each other’s e-mail addresses, or time to write to everybody who reads this page, and we’re not all on Facebook (I’m not, are you?)And how would we know each other’s names or ID’s (well, except for Dazz who tells everything?)People are having fun here.The site owners haven’t seen fit to restrict comments to the topic of the strip, and no one else can make rules or allocate percentages of the forum.For instance, I enjoyed your off-topic comments about Hawaii and your link to the mechanical museum. And various people’s musical links, and Dazz’s bird cam and discussions (ahem) with Leaky.I’d hate to disallow them or to go back and figure out what percentage of the day they took up, or tabulate the various enjoyable conversations you and I have had.How could we have had them by e-mail?In fact I’m the most verbose poster here — most of my stuff is about the strip characters…. I’m sure some people think my word count is too high!!Please just enjoy what you like here and skip the rest…It’s useless to try to patrol the site.There are some forums here where people talk WAY more about their personal business, or live whole fantasy lives far beyond anything in the comic…some are far less welcoming than Crustwood, where even strangers are met with hospitality…and BTW, Marg, can I borrow a cup of sugar?
I’m not sure why you are so upset at a fellow commenter. DAZZ enjoys his teasing, I can tell by her responses. I think that Susan did a good job of putting this into perspective. I suggest that you read her message again, she gave some good advice.
@Susan, I have never minded nicknames and (as a very bad typist) often appreviate names and whatever (like BF). Back at Zeniith when I had big work crews, the guys called me boss lady or just “Virg”. The only one I hated was my aunts calling me “Ginny Lou”
Dazz — we won’t even talk about some of the nicknames I’ve had…I will say that when I was a retail manager for awhile, my fairly small staff called me “Mom”.It started as a joke.A few were quite young, but most were 10 to 30 years older than me.Susan Sunshine" is the nickname by which a lot of old acquaintances actually call me. In fact I’m sure some think it IS my real name.Others think I made it up as some kind of cute hippie name, which makes me cringe.As if!I had a boyfriend a LOT of years ago who couldn’t spell, so he started it, and introduced me that way… and it grew….and I hated it.But by now, a generation of children back in that community call me “SusanSunshine” as though it’s one word…
Then along came the internet, and a need for anonymity…and I embraced my inner Susan Sunshine….LOL.But not Susie.Never never never Susie.Why is it always uncles and aunts who do that?
@Susan, Only now (since I’ve outlived them all) have I gotten totally away from my aunties name. In HS, many kids called me “Teach” because the good clothes I found in the resale shops my parents took me were more like what most teachers wore than other kids)
So good to share old memories (even if some were rather painful). I did not enjoy my last HS reunion (except for time spent with my BF) and at that time we were still platonic.
As to choosing v-dazzle, I always hoped to work at my paintings and jewelry design when I retired (at 65 I had envisioned) but with all my 401K and IRA stuff I just wanted to keep working and only used that name after my last layoff when I registered it as a company name and had already adopted it for email.My business card had a side view of a faceted stone in the V
No, Leaky, nor do I have Marg’s, though I’d love to have both. I do have Dazz’s, and if you have hers or Dogsniff’s, as they have both posted them online, I’d hope one of them would be willing to give you mine, or give me yours, if you tell them it’s OK.You too, GymShoe…. would you like to e-mail?I do have to say I hope you read my post. Meanwhile, Please … I’ve always thought we were friends….it shocks me that you want to keep squabbling over someone’s else’s posts, which are not yours to control….. especially as Dazz, Marg and I have all said we enjoy them, and yours too!
