The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for November 15, 2012

Yeah ‘good gold’ stays on for at least a week or two…

Marg — Whoa….I dunno if he buys her any that good.

Is that a real ♦ or a faux ♦ that we’re supposed to find?Cos we’re not likely to find any real ♦’s in Joy’s faux gold baubles from Burl.

Good thing she was lucky enough to find a real gem like Burl himself …. she doesn’t need fancy jewelry to make her life complete.

(Or so she tells herself.Over and over.)

The To-Do list doesn’t say "wash Burl’s underwear… "it says “intimates.”

Scary scary thought that “intimates” must include stuff beyond just underwear.

What could he possi….NO! I can’t even think about it.

I think I’ll have to skip breakfast…. I think I’ll just have some brain bleach and toast…

Methinks it will take a whole lot more than a cup of bleach to take the tire tracks out of Burl’s panties. Sweet thing. Enlightens us some as to why Jerry hangs around with him doesn’t it?My dad told me that his mom used to make his underwear out of flour sacks, and occasionally he’s have “Gold Medal” across his butt! Mom used them—sacks, not leftover u/w—for kitchen towels; they were pretty good muslin.Joy’s “good” gold only occasionally turns her skin green. After it wears down to the plastic it’s OK, though.

He gets them out of bubblegum machines for 50 cents . the painted gold lasts about a week if she doesn’t wear them every day. Same as the bracelets she gets.

I see that they’re preparing for the demise of Ho-Hos by going to bakery donuts.

Probably “Calypso” donuts: “Day-old, Daaaayyyy-old”

I don’t understand the bit about the tv and the mail.

@MeGoNowRecycled Depends??Susan, please pass the BB.

As the value of our money has been devalued the price of gold has sored…now about $1,700 per ounce…people are selling gold to pay thier bills…. My guess is BULR can’t afford real gold…. So sad for the once middle class……..! ! !

Probably got them out of a gum ball machine.

I bought some “gold” on that tv shopping site. They said it would last forever, sure, it you don’t mind wearing jewelery with a strange copper color. It oxidizes pretty fast. A thin coat of gold over silver looks good only when it is new.

I’m glad that my lover buys real stuff and even real ♦’s (though I prefer stones with color – blue sapphires and opals as a September Libra) and we like peacock black pearls.

I don’t understand about turning TV down for the mail (but mine is delivered a block away).

I think she doesn’t want the mailman to hear that she’s watching TV.

That is plain silly. I watch news to 10AM and Wendy (if new ones) for an hour after and I know longer ever SEE my mail person (as we have ganged boxes far from the house). I keep front door open when weather is nice and anyone can hear what I’m watching (unashamed).

She cannot read the mail if the TV os blaring.
