Nothing Can Bring Me Down

Sometimes you reach a level of happiness that is just untouchable … untouchable by the things that normally irritate or bring us down. It’s a rare thing, this happy feeling of indestructible joy… but Randie has found it.
“In time the Rockies may tumble, Gibraltar may crumble—they’re only made of clay—but, our love is here to stay…”
Ella Fitzgerald did a lovely rendition of that song… If you hadn’t guessed (by the naming of R&R’s kitten)… I’m a fan.
So how many Squiddies are hoping that Randie’s good mood is allowed to continue for at least three more comics? *lol!*
I’m kinda feeling like Randie does at the moment.
Are you feeling this way … for a REASON? Good news? or just good vibes!? Either way, we’ll take it, yah?
And I think you know me and the strips too well.
A potentially good reason. Took an excellent phone interview with the HR guy at a tech company that’s used by school districts. We’ll see, but yeah… promising.
OOOOOOOoooooooo….. I am holding VERY good thoughts on this! Me: smiling really big!
Well, I suppose seeing the new book How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack: Defend Yourself When the Lawn Warriors Strike (And They Will) by Chuck Sambuchino might bring her down.

Move over zombies and adolescent vampires.
There’s a new threat in town—and it’s only twelve inches tall. How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack is the only comprehensive survival guide that will help you prevent, prepare for, and ward off an imminent home invasion by the common garden gnome. Once thought of as harmless yard decorations, evidence is mounting that these smiling lawn statues are poised and ready to wreck havoc. The danger is real. And it’s here.
Class 1 gnome-slayer and gnome defense expert Chuck Sambuchino has developed a proven system—Assess, Protect, Defend, Apply—for safeguarding property, possessions, and loved ones. Strategies include step-by-step instructions for gnome-proofing the average dwelling, recognizing and interpreting the signs of a gathering hoard, and—in the event that a secured perimeter is breached—confronting and combating the attackers at close range.
ONE, I’m not sure why this isn’t in my library. It was certainly something that was on my radar when Randie “was given” her fear of gnomes. That initial storyline, in “Squid Row”, remains one of my favorites. Thank you for the link and description. It is, and remains, the premier book on how to recognize the threat and keep yourself safe. Maybe RANDIE needs this book. Hmmmmm.
Just think of the possibilities, “see, I told you!”
I have never been in that state. It must be nice. When I see people that happy, I just try not to rock the boat.
It’s an elusive state that can often be confused with a coffee high. The joy, either way, is unmatchable. It is unsustainable, though … but… It’s good of you to be unobstructive.
What’s with Randie and Spill’s nametags?
Yes, … You noticed that Randie is wearing a “Mike” name tag … Funny that. Why do you suppose that is? Perhaps it is a “supporter thing”… hint.
Oh. 😉
