Are you going to have the neat Winter game on your site that you had last yr. The grandchildren and myself really enjoyed it. I think it was a snowhill???

Hi Margo - we sure will. Snowman Showdown will be back, along with the Christmas content, shortly after American Thanksgiving is over.

It's nice to know that Elly, like so many other parents, gives in to her children's screams, shrieks and wails if they don't get what they want.

Some of these strips go on refrigerators as charming mementoes of one's own family life and upbringing.

And some, like the strip of the bratty kids outscreaming Elly until they go outside to stand around and glare at the snow (a new definition of "play"), get cut out and taped to bathroom mirrors -- to remind millions of women to Take That Pill or this will be their fate.

There is a cartoon where the daughter says parents can be such a prag after being overheard calling someone a foob. What does prag mean?

Prag and foob are teenspeak in FBFW for pain/drag and fool/boob. You may now use them with confidence. Lynn J
