Mary: "I know from experience that advice is not always received the way it was intended. For example, there was the time I suggested to my beau, Dr. Jeff Corey, that he step up on the Grecian Formula. For some reason, he was put out by my advice. And then there was the time that I was shopping with my best friend, Toby Cameron, and she asked me, "Do these jeans make me look fat?" and I replied...."
I'm wondering what's happening in Charterstone. Pool parties, probably. Pool parties where people wear swimsuits and make use of the pool - maybe they even play games like Marco Polo or water volleyball?
The food would probably be improved - not a unicorn cake or a salmon square in sight. Nope, pizza and beer is all the new pool party planners need.
I keep thinking what Mary will face when she comes back home. I'm guessing that if the pool parties are going that well, she'll probably come home to a locked door and a eviction notice.
After this extended stay at the Pax Rehab Facility for the Terminally Pathetic, Mary is going to need a vacation. A nice relaxing resort where nature's beauty is restorative should be just the ticket.
Yoga Shannon is wise. She knows that Mary Worth's coveted boogers could bring in buckets of money on eBay.
PS: How long have these people been hanging around Pax Hellness Resort anyway?! Weeks now? Their lodging bills must be immense, unless this is some sort of work retreat like some of the lesser known "resorts" north of the South Korean border.
I've been reading Mary Worth for thirty-some years (because it's there, I guess) and this may be the most boring plot EVER! Will Mary seek out Avacado Annie with the Anger Issues, or will she train Shannon in the mystical ways of the Force? "There is no try. There is only meddle."
Or will aliens escaped from Area 51 engulf the Pax Wellness Resort and leave nothing but a patch of silent desert? One can only hope.
I'm predicting that we will soon find out why Aggie's best friend dropped her. Among other reasons:
BF was saddled with caring for her demanding elderly mother. BF was editing and publishing a romance novel. BF was using her publishing advance to buy a sleek California condo and get the heck out of post-Sandy New Jersey. BF was falling in love with a hard-working man.
I hope that Aggie marched right down to the 286 computer in lobby of the Pax Wellness Center, logged into her Compuserve account and posted a scathing review of said Wellness center on Yelp!
"The desert terrain is peaceful, but stay away from Shannon the yoga instructor, who will humiliate you during the sharing circle."
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.
...because what else is there to say?
ReplyDeleteThis "plotline" wanders more aimlessly than a seventh-grader's essay.

ReplyDeleteShannon: "Zzzzzzzz..."
Ho-hum. Still in the desert, eh?

You guys, last night I dreamed about "Mary Worth." About Mary, a cat, and a submarine.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. No joke.
This is scary stuff, folks. I'm worried that my consumption of MW may have exceeded the recommended dosage.
Looks as though Mr. Guy in Blue is leaving as fast as he can back to his quiet, boring job in city hall.

Gina, Time for a trip to the Pax Wellness Center for you, girl!

OMG! Aggie's former best friend is Beth Kinley!
How do you suppose Aggie knows exactly how these whine sessions are supposed to work?
ReplyDelete@fauxprof at 11:39 AM, we say "most boring plot EVER" about every MW plot. Karen Moy has a remarkable record going, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteOMG, the sharing circle is over? Only three people shared, and only one was interesting, and she left right away. Life is brutal. Where's Dave?
ReplyDeleteI hope we, via Mary, experience every single activity that was posted on the bulletin board. What will be next?

"...and I shall hold my hands thusly until all charges are dropped"
ReplyDeleteJust remember, the anagram of Karen Moy is Monkey Ra. I always said that Mary Worth is written by an educated simian.
ReplyDelete@Carlye -- that's what I was afraid of!!
ReplyDelete@Dawn Weston's Evil Twin--Best comment today! I really did Laugh Out Loud.
ReplyDelete@Chester the Dog--Holy crap. COMPUSERV. Where am I?
