âIf you love something let it go free. If it doesnât come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever.â

Reminds me of the scene in a recent âMad Menâ when Peggy meets her BF at a fancy restaurant, expecting to hear a proposal of marriage. He makes a heart-felt declaration of his love but ends with a suggestion they shack up. Torn between what is and what she hoped, Peggy accepts, but when he asks if she still wants to eat dinner, she says âI doâ, fraught with multiple meanings. (When was the last time I said âfraughtâ? When was the last time ANYBODY said âfraughtâ?)

Awww. Thatâs sweet they miss each other but is that a reason to re-start the relationship.

uh you canât finish up a BA at a Community College. wonder what the big push by her for him to get his degree? BAâs are a dime a dozen. weird for a couple who have been sleeping together for years to be so tentative with each other. âBut you want me to come back?â is he expecting her to say âNo Gene, I am hooking up with Justin Timberlake now,â Mary Lou seems to be saying well if you donât meet anyone else i will be your backup plan if you want. a chat like that would make me wonder how solid the relationship is. talk about insecurity!

First big argument, of course theyâre scared if they still have a relationship. MaryLou is right and sheâs not being a bully about it..The degree will help him as he gets older and when finding another job is difficult. How many employers want to high someone who doesnât finish college, enough to say no to make the difference..Those who are âbored with this story,â stop reading it, or at least stop whining about it.

Community college courses would not typically be the courses a person would take in their last semester for a Bachelorâs Degree in anything. The community college courses could be appropriate and would transfer in as general education courses or introductory courses, but Gene should have those all completed by now if he has only part of a semester left.

andâŠthey havenât been sleeping together for yearsâŠtheyâve KNOWN each other since they were tweensâŠtheyâre entering the stage of a relationship where hormones still drive but rational thought is starting to decide directionâŠ.

To run a modern farm youâd better take a few business classes, tooâŠ..but definitely finish up. It never looks good when you donât follow through, or finish what you start. anyway, heâs already spent a lot of time and money, might as well get his reward. LegitimacyâŠMegâs still the well grounded one herâŠâŠ.

Gokie, âis frought?â Thatâs my guessâŠ.but guessing is always fraught with dangerâŠ

Thatâs a bad scoff youâve got there! Are you taking something for it?
Varnes almost 13 years ago
Has it occurred to anybody that complaining when someone says âThis is boringâ, is also boring? And my comment is a senseless meta-comment, that is also boringâŠ
Varnes almost 13 years ago
afficionado, whatâs boring about it? What story in the strip have you found the most interesting?

Ho-hum. Itâs manufactured tension. Wow. Gene sure is shaping up as a lazy unmotivated schlub with little to no ambition. ML should re-think her offer. Sheâll end up raising TWO kids. But we best appreciate the drama while we can. Next week weâre back to Janisâ walking and talking cartoons, followed by lazy cat cartoons, culminating to a 4th of July rant poem by Arlo. Hmm, I wonder what those daffy old folks are up to over on Ballard street?

This is a set-up. Gene is going to meet somebody new at summer school.
StoicLion1973 almost 13 years ago
I donât care what the naysayers say, I love this storyline. Iâve been rooting for these two since ML was re-introduced in 2008.

Scully, could beâŠ

Too soon, too young. I really hope he looks around campus and sees what he could be doing at his young age, and what heâs missing. In the past, he quietly freaked out in his facial expressions a couple of times, regarding settling down, Meg, etc. â so I think/hope those were a hint of things to come.

I think of John Denverâs hit song: Annieâs Song while reading about Gene and Marylou.
