"I hope so dearest daughter... because if you aren't... and your relationship is anything like the manipulating, oppressive, co-dependent, prison I find myself in, the rest of your life will be a never-ending nightmare."

Yes, Jeff, there is reason to rush. And I'll tell you why.

I got a very gracious letter from Andrea at the dedicated fund that raises money for the Hanoi Peace Village - Dr. Jeff's favorite charity. Among other things, she wrote:

I first wanted to thank you for bringing this cause to light and for motivating people to take a moment and give back. I also wanted to let you know that we are tracking the funds you raised and will be taking them to the Peace Village in the spring and will let you know what they are going to be used for.

However, this fund will stop raising money for the Peace Village on March 1st. That's just two days away! The Peace Village, apparently, will begin raising its own money soon. But that won't be for a while, and they need all the support they can get now. I invite everyone to visit our original appeal and give whatever you can to support the Peace Village now while you can! Yes, it is urgent. Your gift will make a real difference, and imagine the pride you'll feel being part of the Mary Worth and Me community, and giving to Dr. Jeff's favorite cause. We've raised over $300 so far, and I really believe we can hit $1,000, but we need to act quickly!

And he wanted to deposit a very impressive number into my bank account... all he needed was the account and routing numbers. What a dear. But I wouldn't let him. I want to pay for my own wedding since I'm only going to do this once.

As much as this story bores me already, I thrill to know that Mary Worth and Jeff are being forced to sit there and listen to it. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving couple. Suffer, Mary Worth, suffer!

I can't imagine Ted's story taking much time: "We met online," what's to tell? It's not like she was stranded without an umbrella and gallant Jasper McShifty came to her rescue with his little penciled-in mustache. He didn't offer to pay for three of her items so she could use the express check-out lane at the grocery store (shout out: Christine Lavin!). He didn't save her dog from drowning by performing canine CPR. No, they hooked up online. We really, really don't want the details, Jasper.

But, if there's one thing this strip does well, it's teach us about the Interwebs. So I'm sure we'll all learn something.

Now, nobody freak out. Remember that in "Mary Worth time," two months ago Aldo Kelrast was driving off a cliff. That's certainly a reasonable length of time for for these two crazy hipster kids to get to know each other. Welcome to the Mary Worth family, Ted.

Imagine what Adrian was thinking as she watched her fiance write a very impressive number on her father's napkin, but still no ring.

Or maybe Ted secretly stole the ring back and Adrian didn't notice. He stole her pearls, so why not?

It takes a real man, someone absolutely comfortable in his own skin, to refer to another man as "a keeper." Dr. Jeff Corey, M.D., doesn't quite pull it off.

I find Mary's uncommon silence to be quite disturbing.

Ahhh, Ted, so modest in his philanthropy. He writes his pledge down for only Jeff Corey to see so that the women folk won't think he's some sort of braggart. I don't know what number he's written down, but I can think of three numbers that qualify as very impressive: Elventy-twelve; a gazillion; and infinity-plus-one. They are the most impressive numbers I know, and I'm certain Ted has pledged at least one of them.
