I just love how well crafted and inspiring this platitude is. So many of us are not who we are. And this just inspires me to correct that. I mean, I will if I am who I am, because if I am not who I am, then I really can't correct anything. Someone else will have to.
Edited to add: A big thank you to those of you who surprised me this morning with donations. This will really help Dan Smithers get back on his feet. Or I may just take my family to see "Les Miserables" instead. You guys are the best!

I know it's going to take until May (at least) to confirm this or not, but I'm getting the feeling that Mary never quite bought John's marriage to Eleanor and is now encouraging him, in her subtle way, to come out of the closet.
If you think the cake design competition is going to be a challenge for Mr. Dill, just imagine what Uncle Joe is going to do with it. My guess is that Karen Moy has been watching all those cake decorating shows, and is envisioning fantastic creations by all the contestants in the Santa Royale version. However, if our favorite artist never bothered to check what a cruise ship or a lifeboat looked like, I doubt if he's going to research "Cake Boss", either.
When I woke up this morning and realized we were all still here, I had to wonder: Will this story last another Mayan "long count"?
Mary DOES have a rather interesting point to make here. I feel my life is about to profoundly change now that I know I'm not too old to self-actualize.
Thank you Mary Worth for giving purpose and direction to these last years of my existence! I'm going to go frost--I mean design--a cake now.
He's an amateur. He's a hotel manager. He's too old. All the guy does is come up with excuses. Do you think he's trying to tell Mary he doesn't WANT to enter this competition?
Muscato: Nah, it's too soon. Considering the author is living decades in the past, in the next 30 years they will finally introduce their first black character. Give or take another 30 years before they introduce a gay character.
Then again, maybe the concept of ethnic people or homosexuals is way too risque for Mary Worth. So they'll just continue to do strips with Dawn and Mary eating bland white pies while spouting advice to no one in particular. Forever.
I feel like all of this is a setup for another guy who will end up falling for Mary Worth.
"Mary, you were the only one who believed in me. You let me be who I am."
"John, I am very flattered, but you miss Eleanor right now,and you are just acting on that feeling of emptiness."
BLAH BLAH BLAH...cut to big computer for a few days.
John Dill has the annoying habit of talking with his hand on his chin. Mary has the annoying habit of being Mary.
Wanders, how about adding "I've Got to be Me" to the Charterstone Jukebox? I can hear it blare as John and his cakes take the stage at the competition.
LOL, yes, Smithers will be fine, you should definitely take the family to Les Miserables. Wish I could have sent more, maybe I can next year after I figure out who I really am - a wealthy woman. Just need some platitudes and encouragement and I'll nothing will hold me back.
My wv is liguirt, which I fear is Mary's secret ingredient for cakes.
Is it too late for Dan's arm?
When will it be too late for the Bum Boat?
It will never be too late for Mary to suffer a Mayan Apocalypse.
@KitKat: "Wanders, how about adding 'I've Got to be Me' to the Charterstone Jukebox?" YES! Perfect!
@Sandi Ego: LOL at Mary's secret ingredient!
A cake making contest? Dawns submission will be in the the shape of Dave, er, Florida. Bonnie? Bonnie? Johnson's submission will be shaped like a Marcy's hat box...
A few days in, and I'm already missing the arm jokes.
