I've only caught the last bits of the family drama in Sally Forth, but it seems like Grandma here is trying to paint herself as an innocent victim. Yes, Sally and her sister didn't talk to her about how to handle her, but Grandma's not even admitting how much of an rear end in a top hat she was being to either of them.

According to the lore stuff from the Kevin & Kell RPG that actually exists, bird overlords genetically engineered the herbivores to not get mad or swear revenge over lost family members. They just sort of automatically shrug and assume that their family deserved it for not being quick enough or whatever. I assume this would fall off if Holbrook were ever to meaningfully threaten a named character. Like if Kevin got kidnapped by Herd Thinners or something you can bet his giant rabbit family would mount a daring rescue, not just shrug and say "Well, he was probably looking at his CELLPHONE like one of those drat KIDS."

Does it seem odd that a big-city newspaper like the Flash is still paying its employees with envelopes of cash? There's a reason -- people who lived through the Depression weren't likely to trust being paid by check.

I worked in a satellite office of a hospital. The rule was mainly aimed at women who weren't supposed to wear sandles without a heel strap or have the thong that went inbetween the toes. The rule was really for the hosiptal itself.

That's a question we all asked.

On a personal note with her - each team in the office took turns weekly cleaning the employee break room - wiping down tables, clearing out the fridge, etc. One day she came to me and asked, "Why didn't you clean the loving coffee pot?"

I was caught waaaaay off guard, but said, "I cleaned the tables and counters. Somebody else did that."

I reported her to the supervisor and, as expected, she claimed she was "just joking". The good part was that she never spoke to me again.

Yeah this just doesn't work. What was the point of three weeks of build up? Hell, Grandma didn't even have to stay with her daughters, she had the money to be independent the entire time? I guess we can't have a Grandma Forth Is An rear end in a top hat storyline in a year if the issue is actually addressed. :v:
