If you got close you could hear the robot-like voice… “Please deposit $7 and 80 cents for the preceding 12 minutes….

Please deposit $7 and 80 cents for the preceding 12 minutes….

Please deposit $7 and 80 cents for the preceding 12 minutes….

Please deposit $7 and 80 cents for the preceding 12 minutes….”

A lot has changed since then.

Some good, some bad…

But at least with cell phones, the company doesn’t get stuck with “runners”….

and you can’t find yourself stuck using some off-brand pay phone that charges 65 cents a minute., especially now that long distance is included in most plans.

Of course, there is that pesky monthly bill.

Free” long distance, indeed.

My favorite sentence from the Wikipedia article on Tibetan mastiffs, those giant, heavily furred, 150 pound dogs.

“It is not an appropriate dog for apartment living.”

LOL… ya think?

From yesterday.
 
This      LINK      will take you back to November 13th of last year and my posting of “The FANNIE FARMER COOKBOOK” recipe for Indian Pudding.
It’s from this continent, not the Asian subcontinent.

@ EVERYBODY ELSE ! !

There’s a Roadrunner cartoon there too (scroll up to the top).

Funny…The joke is that he works for a lumber company…

but I don’t know how many people even remember “excelsior”… the straw-like wood shavings used for packing boxes, before styrofoam “peanuts”.

Happy and I had been joking about this on yesterday’s “Citizen Dog.” (And yes, books on old-time taxidermy were quite familiar with excelsior…)

Day four of stuffing recipes.

700 grams is about a pound and a half of sausage… 50 grams is less than two ounces of breadcrumbs.

That’s not turkey stuffing, it’s a meatloaf inside your bird.

I don’t know why you’d need “an amount” (unspecified) of chicken stock to moisten it, or 50 grams of additional fat (the butter), or any more salt, when sausage is usually very fatty and salty.

Yikes.

I wouldn’t use it as a stuffing either, but apparently by David Banks, others do; and hey, it wouldn’t taste bad, just different..

Why does Claude bother being surprised any more by what Cleo brings home?

Their living room just recently held a a taco cart, and has previously seen a parade of weaponry and armed vehicles.

It has even housed a bowling alley!

Be glad, Claude, that it’s one ramp…

I wouldn’t put it past Cleo to install a whole skate park and invite a few… or a few dozen… canine pals.

I’m glad to see, though, that she wears her knee and elbow pads.

Now that I have time….
Again I stopped looking for differences when I found nine.
There were actually 10 differences in Saturday’s puzzle.
The building with the single aerial very clearly has a new air system vent (for lack of a better term) in the right-side rendition.

You got a skateboard ramp when Cleo took up skateboarding. You wouldn’t want her to leave the comfort of home to play would you??

Hi everybody!

I just talked to Stelbel…

There was apparently a little miscommunication going on in Cleoland.

But she’s now working on a post for Tuesday the 15th.

It will be up shortly!

Thanks for your patience.
