She's back... This will be excellent.

Here's a few possible questions Mary might ask tomorrow:

1. What's it like to kiss a man? It's been so long, I've forgotten.
2. Should your father and I elope?
3. How serious are you about this whole marriage thing?
4. Would you consider marrying one of these random waiters in slacks instead?

Those are just a few I came up with. I'd love to hear your suggestions. In fact, let's make it a Not-A-Real-Contest contest. The reader who comes up with the best question as judged by the Condo Board will get to choose a song for the Charterstone Jukebox! All songs must be approved by the Condo Board, and remember, this is not a real contest. Let the meddling begin!

It may be hard economic times for the rest of the world, but in Santa Royale, new restaurants are popping up all over town:

That red Kool-Aid runs right through you and causes Mary to utter her first words in weeks: "Excuse me." And what does she end up doing? Inadvertently wandering into the men's room to overhear Ted talking to his mother on his transistor camera electric razor radio phone.

If by busy schedules you mean sitting on Mary's couch, parking Adrian's car, and eating at restaurants, yes, I could see how it would be hard to get together for dinner.

Hey, didn't Adrian wear that outfit yesterday, in the car, for about four minutes?

Ted's phone has an antenna, but does it have a camera? Because at first I thought he was taking a picture of this inopportune moment. I was really looking forward to hearing Ted say, "About that impressive number I wrote on your napkin, Jeff..."

Lynn is quite right. The order of things Jeff will be thinking of is:

1. Why am I still dating Mary Worth? Give me one good reason! Besides the fact that we both like seafood.

2. I'm getting low on Grecian Formula.

3. How will Ted support my daughter? She's only a doctor with no marketable skills.

4. If he is broke, how will he pay that impressive donation he pledged?

Yes, of all four things that will occupy Jeff's mind, the donation is indeed last.

In the length of time it takes to find out your fiance is an unemployed writer ::shudder:: and your cherished doctor's salary is now salary for two, Adrian has managed to reverse her jacket and swap her black blouse for a red turtle neck. Given the overwhelmingly negative response by our readers to being called "Queenie," I'm thinking you're thinking it is time for a change.

I just want to hear from the women on the blog: If the term of endearment your significant other constantly referred to you as was "Queenie," how would feel about that? Seriously. Okay, men can answer too.

I've never really stopped to evaluate Adrian's physical beauty, but, brrrr, tell her your trust fund has evaporated and she turns into a hideously deformed troll with a demon mouth drifting aimlessly across her face.

This is a lovely moment. They're already engaged, so it is perfectly appropriate to give your fiance a second-hand ring while sitting in her car parked outside the mechanic's shop waiting to have the steering wheel installed.

I guess it is kind of bad news. For those of you who can't read the rediculously fine print, Karen Moy is acknowledging that she left out Jad Fair's name when she quoted from "Some Things Last a Long Time" last December. I'd love to think we had a small part to play in helping to restore justice to the Worthiverse. Congratulations, Jad, on finally getting your name in a Mary Worth strip - even if it is extremely tiny. I am very jealous.

Now Jeff knows how Public Radio feels. Listen, if your boyfriend can't keep his pledge to NPR, how's he ever going to keep his commitment to you?

I want to point out my new feature: Wanders' Album of the Week - where I get to express my musical interests beyond the Charterstone Jukebox. The widget is located just beneath the Jukebox in the right hand column.
