As you've probably noticed....

.....my title photo of Popo and Eppie has been with us for a while now. Truth is, I love it and I'm gonna let it remain here. That's not to say that it'll never be changed, no doubt it will. There's just something about the two of them in this photo, catching them mitten drinnen, combined with everything we know about their rivalry that makes the photo perfect.

Recently, I came across some old "Dear Abby" columns and as far as I'm concerned, they're a scream. I'm not sure what it is, the manner in which the folks write their questions or Abby's advice or the problems themselves, but these columns are gems.

    I imagine Abigail rolled her eyes a lot over the years.

    Not wear my shorts or my peddle pushers? Someone needs to wake up and smell the coffee! (said with a slight whistling lisp)

    You can pretty much sum up Abby's early advice as "Get yer ass back in the kitchen and stay there." She got better.

    yes mr p, you're right! interesting that these columns are from 1960. of course, it's still the 50s. the sixties didn't really begin until later and abby did change with the times. i suppose she & ann helped to change those times.

    Why is it that I always feel the need to wipe a bit of spittle from my eye whenever I read these columns?
