The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for January 16, 2012

They’re overflowing with the “Milk of Human Kindness”

Good Morning Crustwoodians

I answered your comment of yesterday…

Yes I stubbed my toe on the chair.

Hiya Leaky and Marge, and the rest of you Crustwoodians!

Yup, not only would it take a big fat reward for Joy to report seeing a missing child………

but the guy ringing up her orange juice is personally responsible for making sure one is offered.

Must be a nice store though…. she dressed up in her best blouse to go there.

Ooorr…. maybe she’s already worn it a few times and figures she can get one more day of errands out of it before she has to rinse it.

Yeah, OK, it’s a little bit smelly, but hey, it’s not like she’s gonna hug anybody at the bank or the grocery store.

Great video, Leaky. Nice dancing, and it’s always fun to watch Marg in action.

I had a little trouble with the link, though — it took me to a page all in Russian that just happened to mention the URL someplace.

So once I opened it, I made a direct link — just CLICK HERE!

Glad to be home tonight at my own computer where I can play with that stuff.

Great video, Leaky! Marg, I didn’t know you were so talented!

(1) The Pennys wouldn’t p*ss on you if you were on fire without a reward.(2) Marg, I gotta say I’m impressed! Even as a teenager I was never even close to being that flexible. Wow!(3) Leaky, whilst watching that video I was thinking of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers doing pretty much the same thing but I cannot remember the movie.

Good morning to all of you.

Leaky, your documentary on Marg brought back some old memories. BTW, Marg, if I had tried any of that stuff, a damaged foot would be the least of my worries. The only times I have ever seen that much energy expended in such a short period of time was in news clips of atomic bomb tests, but I digress.

I remember in 1963 I saw/heard a new young girl singer at the Purple Onion who wasn’t even their lead act named Barbra Streisand. I think she was only 18. And when I was at Lamar High School here in Houston in the 50’s there was a gangly dancer in a school production of “The Boyfriend” named Tommy Tune. He blew us all away even then.

@Leakysqueaky712Thanks for the link Leaky. I remember dancing like that…No I didn’t dance like that I just remember it@SusanSunshineHi Susan.Check my profile to see how this comment was saved.And BTW I’ve now switched to Firefox so I won’t complain about those pesky closing codes. Still just the thought of poor coding is like fingernails on a chalk board to me, but at least now I don’t have to heard(see) it.

Hi x_Tech!

Um…. on your profile, it looks just like it does here….

OH! I get it. I think.

Yeah when you put in the profile links yourself, they’re preserved with your comment.

I just don’t bother cos A. I’m lazyB. If I’m replying to somebody who just posted, there’s a link to his/her profile right there with that comment, if somebody wants it.and C. I’m lazy.

Nice to see you in Crustwood. :)

OMG Marg!!! … LOL!!!

I think they’d be too busy stuffing their faces with oreos to notice anyway.

Marshmallow Fluff has an expiration date? Wasn’t some of that found in a Pharoh’s Tomb and used for a sandwich?

Xtech is right. Bob DID ring a “No Sale”, and the purchases are all cookies and treats except for some Cortaid. I guess the only time they buy brand names is when they are on sale. Joy will save the “real” Oreos to impress and only bought 1 KitKat and Jr Mint. Children appreciate good food when they have it. My youngest grandson wanted a piece of my whole wheat toast with unsugared cinnamon that I took in a baggie (I buy in bulk) and while I stayed with them, he said he wanted “grandma’s pop tarts”;-)

If Burl and Verl were missing, the reward would be for NOT finding them.

I have seen missing pictures on milk cartons, don’t recall on orange juice cartons.

Maybe the ones on the orange juice cartons aren’t missing, just a little TARTY!!! Yeowl, wheres my rimshot?

I never buy either orange juice or large cartons of milk unless the kids are visiting, so I haven’t noticed whether they have pictures (my round cartons of cream do not). I even thought that might be an orange-colored milk carton (but juice is sweeter than milk-probably a juice drink for the Pennys, the sweeter the better).

But magnifier shows it is Florida’s Gold (not bad if you drink juice). I know whole fruit is healtier and I like it; I have good oranges in the front but from now thru April I’ll have fresh ripe grapefruit that I love in the morning (even when mine are not in season).

My My she is civic minded NOT

If I drink juice, it’ll be grapefruit juice.

Great dancing Marg, but at my age, I try to dance LIKE THIS.

Note that I say try.

Much appreciated. I’ll give this a tryThanks again.

Wow, so much going on here since I last stopped by.

First, while it’s still in my clipboard….

A message I saw from the missing Dogsniff…. I know he doesn’t post on Dinette Set much but many know him.

(and for anyone who doesn’t know, now matter where this SAYS he posted, his comments have been made invisible except on his profile page):

Dogsniff commented on Brevity about 1 hour ago

Well here it is gang. Like I said, I admitted my mistake and assured them it was an innocent one. I apologized. They said they discussed it, and have banished me forever. If anyone would care to email them at support@uclick.com and speak up for me. It could help. I’ll be on the road again, but will try to check my messages. Thanks all, Dogsniff

Leaky — yes, the code is just as the Col posted….

In case that isn’t clear, first, copy the URL of the page you want to link to.Usually if you open it, the address will already be highlighted, otherwise highlight it….Right-click and “copy”.

If it’s very long, you might need to use TinyUrl.com to make it shorter. (If that makes no sense feel free to ask about it.)

Paste that address into that bit of code between the quotation marks, instead of the word “URL”. Be sure to preserve the quotes and leave no spaces.

Replace the words “Link Text” with whatever you want your visible link to say. It can be “Click here” or the name of the page or something like “Marg Dancing”.

Those last quotes are for grammar here — you don’t need them in your text label.

TIP: It’s good to do Ctrl A, Ctrl C, (or right click, select and copy) your whole post before submitting it, so if it doesn’t work right, you can delete, re-paste, and repair without having to save the URL and start over.

ANOTHER TIP: I keep a text document with a few copies of the HTML code already in it, so I can paste in an URL, change the text, and copy and paste it into a forum.

Then I close without saving and have fresh blanks again.

If anything here makes no sense, just ask me about it.

(and thank you, Col. I’ll take over now.In future, PLEASE remember your Top Secret clearance and consider my safety in the field before blabbing.Luckily that was incorrect.)

Aaaaannnndd….. x_Tech —

I save up lots of clicks too, and extra letters for when I want to type a word like aaaannnddd…..

But it takes a lot of > ’s to post links, and I worry about not having enough….

so when I reply to several people I just type in the names without links…..though I DID mean to link to DOGSNIFF in my first post.

Maybe the register says “No Sale” cos he hasn’t started ringing them up yet. Some old cash registers do.

Leaky — I didn’t even realise your post had been removed!

I didn’t see anything wrong with it…. except maybe if a site admin tried it and went to that Russian page s/he might have thought it was spam or something.

Maybe that’s why somebody thanked me for the video — I meant to say in one of my later posts that I was only re-posting something from you ….. guess I forgot in all that other verbiage, sorry.Dogsniff apparently posted a link in one of his comments to a porn site — most likely just being funny, or possibly without even realizing the nature of the site, or even a typo.I didn’t see it — but he has since apologised to GoComics — and still they banned him.A heavy penalty for a piddling “offense”. He’s had a lot of comments removed, though not lately…He tends to skirt the edges of propriety, as so you and I and others…. but I don’t know whether that influenced the decision or not.I’ve had a fair number removed myself…. and I thought about warning YOU about your recent avatar names because a friend of mine was similarly banned for ONCE posting what they deemed a rude avatar imageBut when I say anything, some people think I’m scolding or being a prude, though I’m pretty sure you know I’m far from it! ;) I do once in a blue moon say something on Luann, just as a courtesy to Greg Evans, whom I met.It bothers him, cos she’s based on his daughter, and because he thinks 12 year olds visit the forum. Mostly GoComics seems an old enough crowd to take it….but there ARE those who are easily offended or merely like to get people in trouble, and unfortunately, they do.

OH — just read a new comment from Dogsniff.

Among other things he says:

"Really would like to see gocomics get emails supporting a reinstatement. … Feel free to post my email address. It’s 2tikijoe@earthlink.net. "

So I did.

For the rest click on the link to his profile in my comment to x_Tech.

Susan, mikie2 had the foresight to keep me from backing off the cliff. And I thank him for that!!I always carry kidding too far and it usually gets me into trouble. I never know when “too far” is “too far”

Wow Leaky, that’s kinda scary, isn’t it.

I suppose links can get corrupted or co-opted, but in this case it seemed like a search for the URL rather than a direct link, like typing an URL into Google instead of the address bar.

The site that opened seemed to be a place where people posted and commented on various links, including that one.

I’m not sure, cos I don’t speak Russian.

(If Col Crustwood tells you that I do, PLEASE remind him about our security clearance. And that was Uzbek, not Russian.

And I don’t eat persiflage, ever since that “salad bar debacle” in Cairo.)
