“Her name is Mary Worth, and she’s conveniently located right in my building.Do you prefer banana bread or muffins?”

Note the framed photo of Odin below that peculiar window (or is it a mirror?). Ed and Estelle really are made for each other.

Nevermind the mirror/window, I want to know what's going on with the intersection of the floor and the door.

TimP - And what's with the little, bitty Queen Anne "leg" on the front corner of the shelf? Is it sitting on the floor that you correctly noted runs halfway up the door. Hope Ed never has a house fire. Good luck getting out through that door.

We have a snapshot of our dear departed cat magnetted(?) to our cluttered Refrigerator Door of Honor (which spills over onto both sides). We do not have her framed 8x10 portrait on the mantle or any bookcase. Sheesh!

Ed must be really short or that doorknob is really high .

Good luck with that "suggestion", Estelle. The likelihood that anyone would act on a therapy referral from someone they had just met is as possible as muffins raining from the sky. Mary's Meddler-in-training methods are sadly failing with Estelle.

Estelle: "In fact, I'll text you my therapist's name and number as soon as we're off the phone. That way you can get your appointment set up right away. And this afternoon, I'll send you an email with the name of my dentist too. I can't believe with all the teeth whiteners on the market nowadays, your teeth can look that bad. Would you also like the name of my gym? As busy as you are, I can certainly understand how you've let yourself pack on a few extra pounds, but a few months at a gym will do wonders for that spare tire. I'll also give you the name of a hair salon that a friend's husband uses. Your hair is absolutely horr.. well, let me just say this: toupee? You really do need a good stylist. Maybe my friend's husband can also give you the names of the stores where he shops for clothes! Those Velcro shirts and Sansabelt pants you've been wearing? Where'd you pick those up? Goodwill? hahaha Just kidding. I probably shouldn't admit this, but I took a little drive by your house last week. That landscaping is completely overgrown and outdated. I'll try and find a good landscaper for you while I'm checking out house painters. I could not believe the color you chose. It actually made my eyes water! Oh, and I'll give you the contact info for my house cleaning service. Sorry, but I couldn't help but notice last night how dusty and grimy your shoes were. I can only assume that your house must be as well. What do you think, Ed? Ed? Ed? Huh... He must be in an area with poor cell service."

Who does that?

How about that other framed picture? The non-Odin one? What happened to that dog, Ed?

Jerry Smith said...

Ed, my therapist may warn you of the murder/suicide pact with my "boyfriend" I was joking about recently. Please ignore that, I certainly didn't mean it! In a non-related question, what is your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid?

KitKat said...

@HelenClark, your inspired scenario had me laughing out loud - woo hoo! That would be major-league meddling, and Mary would be green with envy.

Maybe we’re all being a bit rough on Ed. How many men can tie a tie one-handed while clutching a cell phone in that peculiar way?

Did we know that Estelle was seeing a therapist? I don't seem to recall that. I do hope it's Dr. Sweatervest, we haven't seen him in ages. I'm sure we all remember how quickly he works. Dr. Ed will be fixed in no time (not a problem, Estelle didn't want children anyway).

KitKat - Thank you! Glad I made you laugh! And, yes, you've made a good point about Ed's dexterity. Although, I don't think it helped the Pomeranian much.
