The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for May 28, 2012

Good Morning Everyone in Crustwood

I am back from a very, and I mean very lucrative trip to the casinos on the Gulf Coast. BeauRivage……..won a little.Island View……….broke even.Hollywood…………hit the mother lode!!took most of my winnings in a check. Did not want to carry a lot of cash around

@emmielou (aka Julie Larson)It did not go unnoticed by me in yesterdays strip that goofy Burl was shaking that box marked “fragile” with of all things inside………glass windchimes……..I hate windchimesThe best thing he did was break that cacophonous piece of junk!!(funny strip though)Cracker Barrel……………for old people like dazz

Glad you hit the big one, Leaky.

Let’s see, I have 4 sets of windchimes.

Good for you, Leaky. Could you spare a brother a dime?

I bet Verla was even more delighted when they started using a time clock so she wouldn’t have to keep track of her hours herself. Maybe one day they’ll even promote her so far up that she doesn’t have to come in to work at all!

Wow, Leaky … congratulations!When’s the big barbecue?I hope there’ll be enough liquor on hand for Dazz…. (if that’s even possible)… and I guess I don’t have to beg you not to invite the Pennys.

Meanwhile…. good morning, folks!Happy to see your shining faces.

Wow.. Verl has the right numbers on her wall for Information and the operator!I’m impressed.Love her noose poster…. gives new meaning to “hanging in there.”In this case, they all used to hang together…the company (or does she work for the county?)decided they’d be more productive hanging separately…So they all got a “promotion” to taller walls…but they’re still being watched, I see.Does that middle guy have “V.I.P.” tattooed on his bald spot??!BTW apparently, even though I posted yesterday, I missed reading the later posts on Saturday till tonight…so Dave, if you see this….sorry about your news.Hope you find something else fast.

Does that cup say “People Gas”??

I thought Verla worked for the BMV..Leaky; Congrats! First round’s on you!

Good morning all! I can’t tell from anything in her cubicle WHAT kind of work she does (if any)..Leaky, CB for OLD people like me? I told you, I went once; As a chain, I only like Outback; they serve cocktails and decent steak and good veggie sides as well as some fries.As to casinos, I don’t gamble much (except for the one trip I took to Vegas where I purposely took playing money). My BF goes to gamble often tho’- we even stopped at a local offshore casino for dinner last time I was there. We played a couple of slots on the way in.

Cup another promo (I think a utility co is “People’s Gas”). I did not realize poster was a noose- thought it was a Christmas ornament as there is something in center.And again Joy has a sweatshirt from “Just Pants”.

windchimes are lovely. i have a huge set by the bedroom window, to cover the bus engines, skidding tires, and gunshots at night.

Strange thing to ask – why, because I visit at different hours? I spend most of my time on the chat board at the hawk nest-folks there all day long and these little guys are growing so fast, harder all the time to tell one from another of the 3, they are now all feeding tthemselves when parents bring them a chipmunk or a bird, they will pull off pieces all alone and are flapping their wings, running around the big platform, so it is good when we have a moderator who can operate the camera movements.

According to the co-worker everyone got a “promotion”, a cubicle. I guess that’s better than increased responsibility and a raise in salary.

I just re-read the strip. The coworker is saying that “…we all got privacy for our promotions.” Meaning that they built a wall around Verl so they rest of the office had some privacy from her prying and inane conversation.

I think that it is well worth it to have this lovely one restrung (fishing line is not adequate for theis product and it will probably be less than $50 http://www.windancerchimes.com/repair.htm
