Magnified to make things legible, it looks like the book was inscribed to Dale.
Could be a re-used panel…. or my eyesight.
You’ll note that the gift is cheap, the cake, however, pretty nice. Why?
Cos they’re going to eat the cake…. way more of it than Marlene, no doubt,
and they’ll probably “forget” to give her what’s left.
But they’re NOT going to read the book.that’s just for her.
“Call doctor about unwanted varicose veins.”Does that mean she has others she wants to keep?
Sadly, there WAS a “Riverdance on Ice” show.They didn’t really do Irish dancing on ice…. just on a stage next to the rink, while ON the ice, skaters whirled around and did routines to the same music.
I am soooo disappointed that Joy signed the book. I was really looking forward to getting to it before Bauman’s Rare Books (NYTBR) did. They always bid so aggressively on treasures like this.I went to my doctor yesterday, and she told me I needed some sort of aid. She said it might help my marriage. I had trouble hearing her so I don’t know if she meant a hearing aid or a marital aid. I don’t know whether to go to an audiologist or a urologist!
Does it matter – Ma or Marlene – neither is treated well by this pair. The veins thin is funny as I am going for a treatment tomorrow because the nurses mentioned that it’s covered now and they are ugly (don’t have many now because they were injected back in the 70s or so) but I’d like to have none ;-D
@Mikie-why didn’t you ask your Dr to refer you to a specific specialist? I almost never paid any attention to my former Dr because he was an idiot who did a blood draw during a 2PM general exam and wrote on it that it was “fasting”. I have dealt with many contractors in my time who made stupid mistakes like instally valves backward but I won’t accept incompetence from either- especially not on my body.
You said, ‘They also try to get commenters to share via other browsers and/or on social networking sites. Too many websites now require that. I prefer just to post one place at a time, unless I choose also to Facebook or Tweet something per my own choice.’ I am SOOO with you on that! It’s beyond annoying when all I want to do is address a specific post on a specific site, and they hound me to Tweet, Facebook and all those other things. My poor DH hears me muttering, ‘Oh, sod off!’ far too often when I’m in front of the computer! LOL!
thank you Susan for help with my avatar, altho I seem to be listing to the left. Ah well. I have so many used books around and now that I have a nook I don’t buy so many anymore. I saw a drop off site at Walgreens yesterday, so I will clear out the stash. You can bet they found the book at a garage sale for 50cents! And crossed out previous inscriptions. My dear departed M-in-L used to buy all our gifts at such sales. One year we got a basket of stale mixed nuts and a nutcracker shaped like a lady. you cracked the nuts with her legs. She didn’t even get the significance! My husband asked for rain golf pants and got a pair of ski pants with a broken zipper. Her heart was in the right place!
It’s definitely Marlene…She always has brown hair, big round glasses and large triangular earrings.
Ma has grey hair, smaller, rectangular glasses, and small round (often black) earrings.
For verification take a look at last week, say, Oct 3rd through maybe the 6th.

Hope she doesn’t mind that the covers been torn off. Indicates the book was destroyed (as in let’s dump it) and no one got paid for it.

Today’s panel reminds me of a mule contest I attended. Lots of brayin’. Bleachers were the only seats I could afford.

Yes, once you’re gone they’ll lovingly remember you by trying to buy your stuff for pennies on the dollar.
