Hey There, Sailor
Jill: Thanks for joining me in the tub, Dear. Jack: No problem. I know what a pain it can be to take a bath. Jill: So, think we should get out? Jack: Well, it’s been a couple days now, and I can’t seem to catch that fish, so I’m getting hungry. Yeah, let’s try to scale the walls of the tub. I’m ready. Jill: Good. I’m ready too. By the way, I didn’t bring any rope. Did you? Jack: Uh […]
Suzie’s House 104: Going to Court
“Don’t be nervous.” Until Mom said that, Ben was fine. As soon as she tried to brush the hair out of his eyes and straightened his tie, he knew she was nervous, but he only started to feel like an ax or something was hovering over his head when she told him not to be. Then he thought about the fact she’d made him wear his one and only suit, and pulled him from school.
The 13 Sexiest Things My Husband Does
. . . . . . . . 1 – The dishes. No, seriously. 2 – Brings me things. He once walked 5 miles to get something from the car for me. 3 – Spends time with the kids. 4 – Pretends to stretch so I can check out his muscles. 5 – Says he likes what I write. 6 – Hugs me for no reason. 7 – Hangs around the house with no shirt on when the weather is […]
By George! What did Beau Say?
But let us turn for a moment to a question that my readers are sure to be wondering about. What did the Prince look like at this stage of the game? Funny you should ask. I’ll give you a hint. This little ditty was making the rounds during the time he assumed the Regency. Not a fatter fish than he flounders around the Polar sea. See his blubbers-at his gills What a world of drink he swills… Every fish of […]
Choose Your Battles
more animals Did you ever pick a fight that was too big for you, or were convinced you were in the right, but turns out you weren’t? I got a notice from my storage unit place that the rent was due. I’d paid for a full year in advance because you get a nice discount that way, and was absolutely sure it wouldn’t come up again until August. They kept pointing to the date in their computer as if that […]

London Bridges
Jack: Tell me again why we are doing this? Jill: To make Aunt Gertrude happy. Jack: But if it’s your aunt who likes to see people play London Bridges with their pets, why is it your Uncle Ted watching? Jill: Because Aunt Gertrude is busy today. Jack: It doesn’t make sense. Jill: Quit complaining. It got the cat off our backs, didn’t it? Today’s theme is fur Previously in Jack and Jill Transfer Saturday photo scavenger hunt The rules for […]
Suzie’s House 103: Contemplation
Joseph and Sean a red haired, Irish brothers who live on the edge of the law. Near the beginning of Suzie’s House, Joseph shot Vin to keep him from catching Sean in a planned hit-and-run accident. Much later Sean goes into Suzie’s House where Vin lives intending to kill him and the FBI agent Drew. Suzie drops him by whacking him in the head with a cast iron pan. Now Sean had been captured, but Joseph is still at large. […]

By George! Let's Play King!
The first thing Prince George did on his appointment as Regent was to throw a party. But what does he do once the party is over? After the party, the Prince opened Carlton House to the public for three days. God only knows what he was thinking in doing so, The Public couldn’t wait to see what His Sorta Majesty had been pissing away taxpayer gold on for all those years. They got an eyeful. “There was not a spot […]
Ready for Spring?
more animals I’m so tired of winter. Even knowing there are weeks, if not months, left to go, I’m ready for spring. I’m fed up with being cold until the heater comes on, then being too hot, driving on ice, and high heating bills. Is it too soon to be looking for a ground hog? How about you? Are you ready for a change in the weather?
Speed Bump
I was planning on claiming another award today, but couldn’t get my act together. I’ll have to do it later. Meanwhile, can anyone translate this for me? Even if you can’t, stay and watch. It’s hilarious.

Transfer
Jill: Wow, look at that, Jack. Do you see what the woman next door is wearing? I haven’t seen one of those in years – a full length fur coat. I wish I had something like that. I’d even settle for a mink stole or a fur collar like my grandmother used to have. Jack: Here you go, Darling. It’s the softest, warmest fur collar you’ll ever have. It even purrs. This one relies heavily on the four previous Jack […]
