Rhonda: Finish it!

Uhm. I was just...we were just...wondering when...

Rhonda: There's a time for politeness. This ain't it. WHEN you gonna finish this danged story already?

Ahem.

I'm working on it. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep track of that many bodies at once?? I've had to go back and edit and add and change several times now.

Bodies? Erk!

Rhonda: She means characters.

Now she's killing CHARACTERS?

Rhonda: Aw geez. Look, Goldie, take a breath, your nose is gonna freeze up. So what if she does? That's not the real you. You're right here, safe and sound...and hyperventilating. Stop it.

Yech, it smells worse than the Bog of Eternal Stench out there.
Yes, it's part of the local public works, they're trying to fix some of the street pipes. Just hope HV's city planners didn't muck things up much more.

The fact that it's raining on and off isn't helping either. Meh, just stay indoors and avoid stepping in the curbside gutters.

UD: What about your outing later today?
That got cancelled.
UD: What? ! ?
Yeah, family meddling, forget it.
*Goes off to the laundry room, retrieving clothes and folding them to distribute amongst the roomies of Apt 1.

Prairie: Have you gone nuts?

No I PROMISE I haven't gone nuts! I'll explain once we get to the kitchen. Just get in line behind Robin.
The girls get in line behind Robin. I see Rosita making a "crazy" sign behind my back

I saw that, Rosita! Now where's Grover?
Grover:Right here watching TV silly! Why are you all congaing?

Kelly (wakes up, pouting): I want my computer! *sniffle* Staples better hurry their butts up! I'm in withdrawl!

Cotterpin: -_- You can borrow your mom's. How are you, otherwise?

Kelly (sits up): I think the aspirin helped. I can't tell you how much I appreciate my CNA driving me home. It was so nice of her. I was already irritated that the asthma attack meant I was behind on my patient rounding, but then the whole chest pain thing happened ....

Cotterpin (shudders): Yeah, glad the aspirin helped. What does that do?

Kelly: It thins out the blood. It's useful to help stave off possible cardiac arrest. I don't think it was getting that bad though, but I'm willing to bet I had angina, which is like a warning siren that cardiac arrest is on its way.

Cotterpin: Your job sucks.

Kelly: No, I love my job. I want to work at that hospital until they day I die! ... I just don't want it to be, like, right now ....

*Is sickened by the new news regarding
*Uncle D scowls in frustration at the utter rubbish.

Hmm, since I'm going to need Wiki and online sources to research the rest of the haunters plotted for the first square, I think I'll turn my attention to the November oneshot.
Do you have the idea already?
Yes... Thanksgiving at the family home of .
UD: Mmm, Beth will like that one.
Yep, I already know Alexander Moe and Puffy will be there, and Wanda will mentally sing "In My Life". Planning to have a few new parade floats on the TV... The only hitch is what the Muppet guest list should be. Oh well, it'll turn out good.

 

[Katzi428]

Hey Robin...Uncle Kermit's balloon is on! Hurry!
Robin scurries to the TV Yaaayy!!Too bad they never made a balloon of me.
I'm sure it would've been great, Robin. kissing the top of his froggie head. Geez...you're getting tall! Pretty soon up at you to talk to you!
Robin: But I'll always love you.
Well that's good! Because once kids become teenagers, they think their parents are a pain in the butt.

Robin : I won't ever.
Good! Now can you go hop in the shower please?
Robin: But Uncle Kermit an' Auntie Piggy are supposed to be on in the parade soon! Plus Prairie Grover an' Rosita!
Here comes the Sesame Street float now .
We watch as the float passes by with our friends. Prairie looks freezing! But Rosita and Grover look nice and bundled up
OK...shower.
Robin :But....

I promise that I won't let you miss Uncle Kermit and Aunt Piggy. Just put a pair of undies on so no one has to see your little green tooshie. in case they're on soon.
Robin: Mo-om! scrunching up his face YEESH! going into the bathroom
