Unrelated to the strip – in case anyone was actually missing me and my posts, I have spent the last 2 months on and off with husband in the hospital and have not had a chance to come online.
Why was he there? Well, if one has a hernia – please do not wait 30 years before having it dealt with – even as your wife pushes to get it done. (Per his doctor “Whoever made you come to the hospital saved your life.”) They were very nice and I spent most nights sitting next to his bed – they did not kick me out – to keep him company. Survived on peanut butter sandwiches I made and brought en mass when I did go home to check mail, etc., packages of cheese crackers, and when I ran out of above – 2 pack packages of Pop Tarts in the machine there.
He was rather shaky when he came home. We were going out on an errand and he fell going out the backdoor/down its steps and went back into the hospital. All is okay from same. Still has some other problems related to all of this that we are still dealing with. He is afraid to go for now and we are staying in the house – once his sister came and once his niece so I could go out and run errands. We are having the outdoor steps replaced – will start work next Monday – and then he will be comfortable (hopefully) to go out again.
So have not had a chance to come online. Hopefully I am back now.
The cute little smile in the foreground of that Palurdeando reminded me of the “Pumpkinmojis” in Sunday’s Foxtrot.

Odd that the pumpkin is glowing while the candle is not lit.

10:08 am: Glad to see we’re back up. I was getting “Internal Server Error” messages earlier.
That first one is from the Tuesday Six Chix artist. I often find her either confusing or a downer.

Hey Meryl. I saw you post on GoComics a while back which reminded me that I hadn’t seen you here some time. Sorry to hear about Robert.
