DEAR REBA DEAR REBA:

I am in love with two boys and don’t know which one to marry. First there’s David. He’s sort of blond and sells insurance. Mama likes him, which helps a lot. He’s very reliable and seems anxious to get married.

Then there’s Antonio. He’s dark and sort of gives me the creeps. (But they’re awfully nice creeps, if you know what I mean.)

I don’t know which one I like most. In the daytime I like David, but I believe I like An-tonio better at night. Which one do you think would make the best husband for me?

Sincerely,

Torn

DEAR Torn:

My dear girl, it seems like you have gotten yourself into quite a pickle … and not a good kind of pickle like my Grandma’s famous pickled pigs feet and prune jam! Don’t marry either one, if it’s a toss-up. Date others and make comparisons. When “The One” comes along, you’ll flip your lid—not a coin. To quote my favorite Roxette song, “Listen to your Heart. There’s nothing else you can do.”

BARC Staff and Clients $20!

Special Friends Day at the Fair Was a Hit!

Special Friends Day at the Great Kern County Fair took place on

Thursday, September 25th. Clients from Access Now, MOVE,

Supported Employment and KRVCIP (Lake Isabella) attended and

enjoyed BARC Blowout Cheeseburger Specials, sodas and deli-

cious french fries!

Clients, staff and fair-goers alike enjoyed the BARC Café’s new

look and name change to the BARC Blowout Café! The facelift

and menu changes proved successful, doubling 2013 sales.

Bill and Norma Burgemaster managed the fair booth for BARC

this year adding their expertise in BBQ and food preparation.

Special thank you to all of the BARC staff and friends of BARC

who volunteered at this years fair!
