    (from yesterday) dicatduke said,

    ejcapulet: you live in China? you’re a lot braver than me! What city do you live in?

    I sure do, I live in Wuxi, it’s refered to in travel guides as “a medium-sized industrial city with big roads” so it’s not exactly a pretty place and there aren’t a lot of other expatriates, but it’s right next to Shanghai, so the shopping is wonderful.

    bluetopazcrystal responded to yesterday’s strip “Two words that will wreck summer are ‘Summer School’–even if it is at home; that may be her problem.”

    That’s true currently, but there is a way to “squeeze some juice from this lemon”–she can do an essay for Grandma and ask it to counted for extra-credits!

    @bosslove67 Great avatar! Took my eyes a few seconds to sort it out, but it’s really good. Did you draw it?

    And what are you and ejcapulet doing over there? ESL?

    I guess that Holly will grow up into one of those “Body by God Brains by Matel Girl.”

    AbbieT: Re: “Blond to the roots”. Just guessing here, but maybe it means something like “Really and truly dumb, not just faking it”.
