She probably eats right and exercises so she doesn’t get the "big bones’ from her mom.
facial hair? I think everyone gets that anyway, just some more than others. If Joy didn’t shave hers it wouldn’t be as bad. At least that’s what I was told..
Poor Patty ,looking like her mother?? How sad is that
Yet another reason for Patty to run screaming into the night.
Of course, if she hangs around their house a lot, and enjoys their Stouffers and Sara Lee and Twinkies…generic colas, and potato chips…. believes that her mother’s secret “recipe” … fruit cocktail and mayonnaise … actually makes fruit salad….
she’ll eventually “inherit” those big bones all right.
Oh, look. They brought a gift of wine to dinner. Oh…. It’s in a box. And the box is open….. And it’s half empty,… And they left the bargain bin price sticker on it…. And what’s that small print?… Oh. PRODUCT OF CHINA.
Great dinner table conversation, they are such gracious guests. It appears Patty did not inherit the to do board, lost key rack or wall phone either. Also, it appears to be a regular home made dinner, where did she learn to cook? Hmmmmm, John isn’t here, did they part ways or is she just tactful to not have him over with family anymore as there is always an insult from Burl?
Hopefully, Patty and Timmy will spend enough time away from them to do better on all fronts. My parents were nice people, but Mom never learned to cook. They survived thru most of their retirement eating breakfasts and dinners provided in their retirement community and kept little more than crackers, PB & J, olives etc. in the kitchen of their condo. They also did not believe in supplements (as I always have).
I think Patty may have learned to cook as I did (in self defense). My mother was the youngest of 3 girls and grandma taught me some baking when I stayed with them. I started experimenting with cooking as I was a tween and used to bake bread and pies on weekends (took extras to the rectory which was just down the street) and when I reached 7th grade my parents agreed to buy groceries per my lists and I made all the dinners. Mom had a stroke long before she was my current age and lost use of right arm and leg. Dad was more stressed as major care-giver and by the time he was diagnosed w/ stomach cancer it could not be operated (partly because he was too thin)- he took pride in staying thin, but not eating healthy. They both lived into late 80s but were very sickly at the end. I plan to do it better. That is why I may not have the facelift if they insist on my taking BP medication. I am determined to remain clean and drug free as nearly as I can (taking major doses of any of those poisons for a full month is NOT acceptable).
The Mots in question are definitely not so Bon, but I no longer have a problem with hearing them when used in context (not just gratuitously). I still have other words that I prefer in general (I’ve only a few that I actually enjoy using in my own speech and still would not use here).
I’ve been trying to get an answer back to Susan. I had to restart my IE and gave up to go have breakfast.
Sorry Susan, I did not realize that my persistent questions were a nuisance and thought You and Stel either had missed them or did not want to share. I have not opened Paint in years because Irfanview is my default for viewing most image files. I like the CLONE paintbrush (to fill a similar pattern especially if texture is somewhat random) but while using their “Paint Dialog”(all the painting features and text) I can’t trim, copy and paste (and unlike Corel’s program which I used many decades ago) it has no smoothing of edges between one image and another pasted into it. I agree, they are terribly time consuming even if mine don’t really show it. My use of the mouse is not quite as smooth and steady as when I was younger. I have an easier time with old fashioned pen and gouache in my calligraphy (and can scrape that faux parchment with a utility razor).

Worry Patty, worry!

Why does she even invite them to dinner?
She probably eats right and exercises so she doesn’t get the "big bones’ from her mom.

Patty is the one almost normal character in the strip, right?

I think the best Patty can hope for is to not inherit their B.O. and social skill set.

I still say Patty is not biologically a Penny. Adoption or hospital mix-up is the only answer!

Let’s hope she doesn’t inherit Joy’s fat A$$ as well!
OK, Susan and Dazz, avert your eyes. I’m going to use the “f” word. Not the upper case one, the lower case one.

There are probably a lot of “Pattys” out there, maybe they could form a support group.
