A pet peeve, people who but into your conversation. You are standing in line talking to your companion and someone joins in your conversation. Burl, who thinks everything he says is brilliant, always joins in. Jerk!
Funny. At least he didn’t say “copious gas” or “uncontrolled diarrhea” or “projectile vomiting.” I’m sure if there were a potion that could produce such effects the pharmacist would gladly mix it into Burl’s meds. And of course he has to have a liquid, the widdle dear can’t swallow a pill yet.
Funny, I’m a conversation-joiner, and I don’t care when others join in….maybe it’s a California thing.
When I had just moved here from the Mid-West, years and years ago, I wrote to a friend from high school that it seemed like back there, everybody knew all the neighbors, but their private lives were private.
In California, nobody had ever knocked on my front door to say "hello, I live down the street…. "but strangers on a bus told me their life stories and medical history.
They already had to get a rider on that useless homeowners insurance policy to cover damages if Jerry, Dale, Burl and Ma were all there at the same time and blew off the roof.
Meanwhile, I’m working on getting that pharmacy to sell Marg and Susan’s chewable Brain Bleach tablets…I’m sure the denizens of Crustwood would gobble them up if they regularly encounter any of our little crew while shopping.
Isn’t that Ma?? It looks like her. Dale is a walking druggist know it all.. apparently he wasn’t listening to the pharmacist. But he doesn’t listen anyway. Just picks up some words and then joins in uninvited.
….didn’t say: Temporary belief that you can fly like Superman, either, but Burl wouldn’t have heard that, anyway.probably just trying to impress random passersby with his use of a multi-syllabic word that he probably can’t define to save his own life. Such a card!!
Sure that’s MA…They had to drive her to get her prescription..Funny thing is her response covers all three side effects: she is tired (drowsy), irritable (the way she responds) and can’t remember what he said (short term memory). Think that is Julie’s joke on us today. Good one… ! ! !

Do ALL medical personnel in Crustwood sport bandaids on their heads? The doctor has one, too!

Mikie! Burl doesn’t need any more copious gas!

I’m surprised Burl even knows the word agoraphobia!! Wonder if he knows what it means??

I’m thinking if that is Ma, then he wants her to stay home and shut up!

I hope that the prescription is formulated as a suppository. The pharmacist would probably take great pleasure in telling ma where to put it.
