Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 24, 2013

I could have written this, thinks harold.

depends who your groping for.

Looks like a book about my teen years.

It’s one of those “books to be read with the light off”.

Groping in darkness doesn’t have to be depressing….. as DownUnderGirl implied….LOL….Just ask the birthday boy ….er… pirate.

Speaking of whom….Linguist…. sure hope you get a chance to go back and see the rest of yesterday.

If not, let us know…I can re-post your cake.

It’s huge…. here’s plenty left.

And I have another small present for you.

Happy birthday, Linguist!

That should help your eyes by simplifyng your internet posting.

Oh, Bev…. did you leave already?

Are you sure you got enough cake?

Little monkeys!

Please don’t try to move the cake!

I didn’t get ANY cake, I spent all day looking for my pirate cat! I’ll take my piece to bed with me.Night All! see you in the morning…

Hi ya, Fireman. Would you set me and Susan up with a little whip here, please. Thanks.

X …. um….. people will talk!

Thank you, though…. another Red Tail would be great.Did you get some cake?

Say Fireman…. can you stay till the little monkeys go home?

Thanks.

Not that kind. i meant like one for the ditch or another snort.

LOL … I was pretty sure you didn’t mean the other kind….but then, one never knows, does one….(they say it’s always the quiet ones…. )

A little music…

Hey Susan want go for a ride?

Harold hasn’t yet grasped that the book is in braille.

Sure X… but I’ll sit in front with you, if you don’t mind.

8 is too many in one seat.

pcolli - you’d think he’d know it was braille as soon as he grasped it.

…it’s on one of my book cases.Someplace…

To All My Ballardeers Thank you for making it one of the best birthdays, ever ! I can’t imagine a better present than to have you all as friends.While I may not be commenting as much, for a while, I’ll still be at the Tiki having a laugh and a drink with you all. First round is on me, today ! Cheers, mates !!

Good Morning Fenton, I just saw Ling hie’g his way back to the Rover…I came to see if you need any help cleaning up…No?…ok, then may I have a Mimosa while I wait on the BS Taxi and Blueberry Tartcycle? Thank you kind Sir….you are still one handsome dude you know Fenton…you should come meet Blue Belle sometime, I think you would like her…oops, I hear the tinkle of the Tartcycle, see you later…

Turn the light on and read!

Not to forget, “Atlas Shrugged”. I wanted them to have exposure to Ayn Rand prior to College…

ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….I would have been sooooo fired!! (and deservedly so, some of those boys might have put their eyes out, just to avoid seeing any more of her!)

…personally I like to see who I am groping….

I agree with Susan and my first thought was that Groping in the dark can be lots of fun, although I’ve usually preferred a little less than complete darkness.

I am having second thoughts about the face lift (mostly the health ramifications of taking BP meds (among the most dangerous poisons in my opinion) and abandoning my safety net) which has always been the use of vitamins (for many decades I have taken extras when exposed to bad stuff like the chemicals at the Zenith plants). The surgery and the cost of it are less worrisome than that. I am very insecure about meeting someone new (especially since I have very particular requirements).

HAPPY, are you groping in the dark for that book?

I’ll take some cake with me on my toon tour. Pardon the crumbs…

I rather like that picture of Ayn Rand…..she looks like a character from the UK New Romantic scene.

Morning everyone! We are going to the other side of the Island today to buy veggies from the farm. And here you thought I spent my days lounging by the pool! Yesterday was so much fun! I think the next birthday is Jpuzzlewhiz’s on Nov. 3, I think it was mentioned back a few weeks ago. can someone confirm that?I have to thank tech, Bev, and Susan for helping this ole lady learn to navigate her computer, but it was my daughter who set me down yesterday and taught me the ropes. She is around here somewhere, her avatar is: 2old’s kid, say hi if you see her.

Harold should try this instead.

She/he’s better looking than some things I’ve had experience of. I only go one way and when I go to Thailand, I take it with me.

I have met and refused many Katoi in my time and I’ve also refused the opposite. I’m happy with who I’ve got.

Has anyone read my version called “Groping with Strangers”? I’ve had to wear glasses since then.

Aw, BEV. Don’t cry. In the 30’s is quite warm! Oh wait. You’re talking Fahrenheit, not Celcius, aren’t you, poor dear. Would you like a hot toddy and a warm quilt?

It is going down to 1 degree C tonight. Brr.

Evening, all….

(You see…. sometimes I DO know what time it is.)

Stel…..I don’t know why some of you can’t see the picture….it still shows for me.But here’s another picture of it….and another gift ’d been saving for Ling.

I don’t know whether he’ll see it…. or even whether he was able to look back at the rest of yesterday…but we can keep it here for him at he Tiki…I’ll put some cake in the freezer, too.

Happy birthday again, Ling!(ah… that’s it….you just want to stretch this out!)

the one I posted earlier….

And something more…

Now, now BEV. I SAY, BEV!! CAN YOU HEAR ME?Not THAT kind of whip.

At least I am pretty sure it is not that kind of whip…What did he say again?

Fireman, could I have something hot?Oh! Well, yes, yes, but I was thinking of a hot toddy, not a hot Tod. (Blush). Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?

YOOHOO! BEV, SUSAN, over here by the fire, keeping warm. Although I may move to a window seat soon. Ah, fresh air is good for me you know.

Gee, this whip thing has totally distracted BEV and SUSAN. Thanks for the hot toddy Fireman. I’ll just nurse, er, sip it quietly until some notices me.

BEV, did you see that your genie granted you another wish in MY post the other night?Why doesn’t he ever grant ME a wish? :-(

Actually, that’s not my bookcase. It’s an image I found for the joke.My book shelving is still just a sick of planks.

GoComics seems to be slow tonight v

Dream Whip BEV. Just Dream Whip. Speaking of dreams, I think I’ll see if I can find dream land now. Good night BEV. GOOD NIGHT BALLARD DEARS.

DAZZ!!

DO NOT SAY TMI and post something like that in giant blue text!

Your post does NOT belong on this site!

I apologize to those who may be embarrassed by my language (but I am exposed to much more in the daily lineup on my normal news channel) after breakfast if I leave TV live get a mix of Wendy Williams and “skinny girl” Bethenny Frankel and there is a chatty bunch that even includes Heidi Hamilton (from That Sex Show). None of those ladies is known for holding their tongues either, so that is an influence. (no excuse – just explanation). My own prurient interests take over where they leave off.

Dazz …

I’m no prude… as many here could tell you.

I enjoy a bit of innuendo, and being funny about such things….

But this is a family friendly comics site… it’s NOT called something like HornyDates.com.

What you say here has nothing to do with whatever you choose to watch on cable TV…and I personally don’t care, or care to know, where your prurient interests leave off.

Sorry, Bev…

Bev, Essex…. I’ve hired Fly-Kitty-Fly to deliver each of you 2 gallons of Marg and Susan’s™ Super Strength Ultra Brain Bleach within the hour.

One Original Plain and one of the new Pina Colada.

My treat!

The most economical way to receive it after this, by far, after some modest initial expenditures, is our direct pipeline.

We contract with XTI for installation and maintenance, since the brain bleach is manufactured by them, it’s always fresh.

You can also have weekly delivery of gallons or smaller bottles.

Ess!

I don’t have much, but I’ll gladly chip in!

Essex… I understand….

I’ll have a talk with x_Tech about the plumbing costs, and get back to you ASAP.

A 9" pipe is a commercial installation, usually adequate for serving about 100 regular users….

Then again, we have a difficult situation here.

Sorry- I have removed that post and the TV shows mentioned above are on my regular network channel live in daytime (not the spicier nighttime Cable channels) although those same people are regulars on Cable shows that I mentioned. And when I told font to go size 4, I thought it would be smaller as I did not specify font face, it was unexpected.

That’s right, Harold. It’s “This is Your Life”, on the printed page!

Scary movie!
