For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 20, 2012

I once bought a new belt (from a thrift shop). It has two sets of holes with grommets, but with three missing ones (it was kind of L shaped to show the said missing grommets). After snipping that part away w/scissors, the belt looked too short when about my waist.

@SUSAN NEWMAN: Yes, thanks for asking; I had a very pleasant Rosh HaShanah, but I don’t look forward to Yom Kippur: Not only because of the fasting, but because this year I will have to travel on Yom Kippur, to get to my chavura in Manhattan.

Please look for me and my comments as well as others on “Benitin y Enease” en Espanol (Mutt & Jeff): We all comment in English about anything, not just the comics without any controversy – I think you will enjoy it and everyone will appreciate your input and insight..

My wife quit smoking last year and has gained 15 pounds. We had this conversation, almost word for word.

Once again, John opens mouth, inserts both feet! At the first panel I actually thought it was Mike because it sounded like something a kid his age would say!

Time to watch what you’re eating, Elly! That’s a bad sign…

That’s what my wife does.

every (or most) women have two sets of cloths, fat clothes and skinny clothes. Skinny ones for most of the time and fat ones for those days when you feel fat or just want to stop sucking in and breath normally. lol……..One of the best advantages of getting older and being retired is I get to breath normally every day. lol Not that I am fat but I no longer worry about fitting in my clothes.

quitting smoking is worth gaining 15 lbs

he should’ve kept his mouth shut

Men don’t understand aspirational clothing shopping.

To quote RAH. If male. “When in the course of a domestic discussion, you discover yourself correct, apologize immediately!”

Have a great Yom Kippur to all the Jewish friends here. Fasting will help you lose weight. That’s what Elly needs to do.
