Thank you, Wanders, for the link to Tommy's decent into the rabbit hole. It makes me realize how vastly I underrated Uncle Joe's sense of humor. What would be the likelihood of a doctor examing a 25-year old man with not only his mommy in the exam room but his neighbor lady?!! Uncle Joe certainly knew how to turn Moy's schlock into funny!
Once again, KM has a Google Translate fail. She must have hooked into the Damon Runyon English dictionary. (That is where the characters do not use contractions as you can see by this sentence.)
Anyway, I too was amused by Mary's two fisted way of putting away groceries. I must try that sometime. I'm sure I'll drop something though trying to keep the fridge open while I do it.
Sheesh, Mary has no shame in her game. She got Tommy addicted and now she's shrugging it off with her Damon Runyonesque reply. I'm dying to hear her advice. It'll probably be "review past interactions".
To echo the last line of Nance’s masterful boldface haiku, we are all “afraid tell”. There’s no global warming in the Worthiverse. The glacier isn’t moving at all.
Hold on there, Tommy. Brandy said her father was an abusive drinker who abandoned his wife and daughter, but I don’t remember Brandy saying he ended up in the slammer like you did, Mr. Messy Hair. So take back that “similar crimes” baloney.
After Mary finishes putting away the groceries, she’ll pull out a plate of her special Medical Marijuana brownies. That will help Tommy a lot.
I thought groceries were Tommy's "thing". Continuing his quest to redeem himself from his checkered past, he needs to put his skills to work and tell Mary her celery is going to wilt if she puts it on the top shelf instead of in the crisper drawer (as mentioned by Scottie McW). Of course, maybe Mary has one of those fridges so ancient that it doesn't HAVE a veggie drawer. In fact, that could explain the presence of the post it notes "Remember to order block of ice for the icebox". I'm sure that's it.
I'm almost embarassed to admit that I take a small amount of pride in efficiently loading my items two at a time on the conveyor belt at my local retailer.*
That said, when it comes to loading the refrigerator, yeah, I need my right hand to move stuff around while I cram crap in with my left.** And, having said that, I refuse to believe anyone's refrigerator is so organized that they can restock it two handed unless they're starting with the fridge empty.
* Note to self, take a brief moment and congratulate self on not presently participating in any line of business which does, or potentially could, compete with something like that Seattle based online bookstore everyone's talking about.
**There is lots of ADD in the P household and organizing the fridge is a fight where I have chosen simply to cede ground and be thankful that what needs to be refrigerated did in fact get put in the refrigerator without my having to check.

“I am aware.” Mary delivers this dictum in such icily judgy overtones that Toby and I can hear it reverberate through our shared wall.
As Mary lures Tommy into her lair, let's take a look at today's illustration mistakes:
1. No way Mary sticks Post-It notes to her freezer door in that haphazard a manner.
2. As Wanders perceptively points out, nobody puts groceries in the fridge with both hands.
3. Celery doesn't go on the top shelf. It goes in the veggie bin.
-- Scottie McW.
P.S. The wholly unnatural "I am aware" line is too funny. All it's missing is "earthling" at the end.

"I'm AWARE?"
If Mary was my mom she'd be simultaneously twirling her finger around the hair at the nape of her neck.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Why Couldn't We Get The Timesaver Version?"
Everyone, past. Was...been.
Aware.
In love: dad, similar crimes...suffered!
Afraid tell?

Why does Mary have a bucket of fruit (apples maybe) in her fridge?

Anonymous, those are Apple Mary's Apples.

It's time for Tommy to go full adult and change his name to Tom or Thomas. He has no future until he does.
@Yahoonski--Oh man. I'm almost too in awe of this Drop Down Dead Brilliant comment to laugh.
@RobC - had to look it up . . . did not know Mary Worth began as Apple Mary! Awesome.

@TimP
I was asked not to long ago by the check out lady if I was OCD. Just like that, out of the blue. "Are you OCD?"
Why, because she said she likes it when I am in her line because I place my items in order of weight.
I'm not OCD; it's a trust issue. I just don't like my groceries crushed by high school baggers who have no idea the chips go on the top.
