Pulling people out of the ditc...
So I came home Friday afternoon to find that the youngest has won a "guess the pieces of candy in the jar" contest at the orthodontists. Not only did he win the jar filled with candy, but also a huge Easter basket, overflowing with none other than peeps (and other candy, but who cares). Since no one in the family cares for peeps but me, I'm in peep heaven. Immediately opened all the packages to allow them to ripen to their glory...tried a couple yesterday, still not ready...

now that was a contest worth winning!!!

I need to ask why there are no peeps in the house yet, since this diet for old people started a month ago, there are few munchies around...and no pop either!!!!

and the beer comes in these little 7 oz. bottles of Coronita or something....diets are the pits!

Your son's ortho gave him a boat load of candy? Did it come with a toothbrush?

It's like a conspiracy between the dentist and the orthodontist!

That's what I'm saying! It should have come with a referral card for a good cleaning! Of a bottle of Plax. Seems very counter intuitive.

Stale peeps are thee best! Head on over to Big Lots after any major candy holiday and you can get boxes of 'em for cheap!

Confession - Yes I have a frequent buyer card at Big Lots!

climate may be too humid for proper airing Happy....

This sounds like a case for OBAMA MAN!!!

There needs to be a reg to discourage this type of conflict. Just like evil banks encouraging consumers to OD their accounts, these "Health Professionals" are encouraging behavior that is detrimental to the unsuspecting public. It is all a scheme to make the wealthy wealthier.

Help OBAMA MAN Save us from our ingnorant selfs.
