My daughter observed a similar incident yesterday at the mall. My partner, on hearing the story, came up with the punch line. I just put the picture together.

The time-frame on this is approximately true. The "blah blah" is approximately true. The non-blah words are close to an exact quote.

I can't say I disagree.

This is another comic based on things I did with my kids when they were younger. It wasn't until the last couple years that my oldest daughter realized that the second panel wasn't really part of the rhyme! True story!

Okay, not many people will understand this. I'm okay with that. These comics are my homage to the characters (and authors/artists) of my favorite magazine.
KoDT is the acronym for Knights of the Dinner Table, a comic book and trade magazine for the role-playing community. By "role-playing" I mean real role-playing - dice, paper, pencils, the occasional map or figure and, of course, caffeinated sugar water.
These comics were generated with the comic Strip Generator, a web treasure.

Okay, so my "friend" Bri... I mean Andre Klemmer led me down a dark path, this weekend. He asked me to go check out the aforementioned blog. What do I find? A link to a site that allows me to create my own comic strip without benefit of drawing lessons.
Following this link resulted in the following travesties:
Sheesh!
Whatever you do, don't go there!

| » Lesson Learned |
|---|
Well, I learned something about LiveJournal this morning: Don't rely on the web-based spell checker unless you have a copy of what you're working on. Lost the entire post. Ah, well.
Had a great day, today. I'm most of the way through my Iowa visit. My Grandmother (almost 97 years old) just this last month moved out of her house (where she's lived since my grandfather died in 1986) and into a nursing home. Her positive attitude has always been one of her strong points and has served her well. She's very complementary of the staff and the care she receives. She bought a lift chair on Tuesday. Sue and I scoped it out and reported back to Grandma who said to get it. She'd resisted the urging of my father and aunt to get one but once she experienced the benefits she went for it. She says, "No matter where I go I will need a chair so I might as well get one."
Her angry-looking knuckle has a preliminary diagnosis of gout so she's on a new medicine that will hopefully help. The half-cast splint they put on her forearm and hand on yesterday really bothered her last night. It will also prevent her from using her walker because she won't be able to grip it on that side. Hopefully, she'll be able to get back to using the walker after the splint comes off next Wednesday.
I treated Donna, Sue and Al to lunch at The Wharf this noon. They make a decent burger, their cheese bacon soup was very tasty and the shrimp and salads that the others order look both good and generous. Afterwards, I ran back to the house to pick up the yellow tulips I cut for her earlier in the day. I delivered those and visited with Grandma, Sue and Al.
I went for a drive after that. First down the east side of East Lake Okoboji then up the west side of West Lake Okoboji followed by the east side of West Lake then the west side of East Lake. Wonderful, warm, sunny weather today. Heaven! The people here are *so* friendly.
Got to go - dinner's on.

! You are most like An Emerald ! Caring, giving, - and very emotional. You're the person people turn to with a problem. You worry about everybody, and genuinely want to help - a little too much sometimes. As an emerald, you tend to take a more backseat to the other gems, but your inner beauty soon captivates those who take the time to get to know you.
Congratulations ... You're the selfless gem everybody needs as a friend.

Okay, this is more representative of my travels. I've taken out the states where I really didn't do anything interesting. (It's not that the states weren't interesting - just that I didn't take the time to notice them.)
