Julie Larson began writing The Dinette Set comic in 1990, then called Suburban Torture, offering a satire on middle class culture. The Dinette Set became syndicated in 1997. When asked where Julie gets all of her ideas, she admits there is only one way to write a daily comic: write about what you know. "I make no bones about who’s really talking in The Dinette Set," says Julie, who is writer, director and cast of The Dinette Set. "If we can’t make fun of ourselves, who will?"

Marg!
Not two whole gallons!
We must always try to be good examples to our customers.
Sigh…. I guess those 5 days in the “spa” didn’t totally help…

MissJuneBug… thank you for your order yesterday…
I’ll add a gallon of green tea flavor liquid to your regular monthly order as soon as it passes all our rigorous testing and is released.
The target date is April 1st. I hope that will be satisfactory… if you’d like an extra gallon of a current flavor with your March order, just let us know.
The apricot flavor chew will be available later this month, but is part of the listed assortment… all five flavors are represented in each pouch.
They’re soft and chewy, unsuitable for pez dispensers…. but delicious!
The tablets are more of a pez-like texture, but are small, and are packaged on push-through cards.
They are already available in raspberry, mint, citrus blend, chicken and the new wintergreen flavors.
Perhaps we should consider producing them in a Pez size… or create our own fun dispensers!
Many thanks to the people of Crustwood for being such good customers!

And if the industrial strength paper towels that Burl has liberated from the U-Stor-It aren’t enough, there’s some 100 grit sandpaper out in the garage.
Anything for you, Ma.

When I was a kid and asked my mom for more toilet paper, she would say, “use a kleenex!” Maybe that’s what they need. I think I need to re-up my supply of brain bleach too. :-(

I hope she goes for the paper towels and stuffs the toilet full for Burl to deal with. Hopefully theu are the quicker picker upper to dry out the toilet faster than it will flush.
