Neo-(Life Among Other Things), yes I owe you a BYB Sunday post! I promise I will have one up this evening. My sleep schedule, along with my work schedule is so messed up at the moment I’m losing track of not only the days, but what time of day it is. Hopefully, I’ll get used to this soon.

Also, to my readers and anyone passing through, I have been considering starting a one day meme for a while and with the recent announcement of the closing of the Thursday Thirteen meme, my want to do this is stronger. I don’t want to copy Thursday Thirteen in the least. I am looking for unique ideas and to the person who comes up with the best meme theme- you’ll receive $10 via PayPal. If you don’t want the cash and would prefer a bottle of West Virginia wine instead- this can be arranged. Your choice- but you have to be of age! (Mr. Fab- I know you’re of age no need to provide proof). And- another enticement to comment on posts. If you haven’t noticed I have a top ribbits section on the left sidebar. Starting March 1-March 31 the person with the most comments will receive a goody bag. A mix of useful and silly items I put together. And when I say useful- I mean useful, (this can include maybe a $5 gift card to a restaurant too!)-so start commenting!

Now, on to Maxine’s Sunday ‘Toon.

I was sent this same card and thought it was too cute not to share, so I’m passing it on to all of my readers. Happy Valentine’s Day! Jesus I hate this day with a passion.

Maxine’s Valentine’s Day Greeting

Today’s Maxine cartoon is my philosophy in life. It seems like I’m always climbing uphill and now- I take comfort knowing everyone below me sees my hiney. I need to also remember to eat a huge bowl of chili when things get really rough. That’ll show ‘em, right?

Since I receive so many hits via searches for Maxine cartoons, I am making a promise. To give potential readers at least 3 Maxine cartoons a week. This may be a little difficult, but, I will try. The following cartoon goes along with a “will and testament”- I had to print screen and paste in photoshop to save it-but it was too funny not to post.



I, MAXINE , being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn’t pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it, or lawyers / doctors interested in simply running up the bills. If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:


Glass of wine or a Bloody Mary
chocolate
Margarita
chocolate
Martini
Cold Beer
chocolate
Chicken fried steak
cream gravy
chocolate
Mexican food
chocolate
French fries
chocolate
Pizza
chocolate
ice cream
cup of tea
chocolate
Chocolate
Sex
Chocolate

It should be presumed that I won’t ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.
