Only one solution - hide them!I've offered, trust me... when there was that crazy sale on 'em, I gave one to my dad, one to Jerry, had two or three for myself....
When I was a kid, my mother would hide cookies after she baked, to ensure that there would be some around if company dropped by. I remember on one occasion, company came, and the tin under her bed was empty - I had found those. Then she checked the tin on top of the fridge. It was empty too - my father had found those.
It should be noted that neither my father nor I had informed the other of our respective finds. We had both thought it safe to devour what we found, because we knew my mother always had more than one stash.

Lol...I hide food. Especially my vegan snacks because husband and son eat everything non vegan. They don’t need to be finishing my stuff when I’m limited as it is.
LaBron James is leaving ClevelandHe brought so much joy to Cleveland basketball! Made fans out those who never had interest. Brought communities together both in Cleve as well as his home Akron. Did so much good with his charitable foundations! First Cleveland sports win since the 40 (unless you count the short lived soccer Force...which unfortunately we didn't....).
Well, now I get to watch the Lakers I guess
He better not let those Golden State Warriors get another win!

I've seen a video about "10 worst husbands in history". This list includes such great people (and they are real monsters) as Alexander Blok, Albert Einstein, Ivan Bunin, Ivan the Terrible, Carl Jung, Lev Landau, Amedeo Modigliani, Vyacheslav Molotov, Leo Tolstoy, Heinrich VIII.
As you can see (and i've always known that), one of these freaks is Leo Tolstoy, the great writer and great father of veganism in here. Unfortunately, his ideas about humanism differed from his deeds (especially when it came to his family). That's a pity.

I was cancelling my Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance.... I was on hold for so long, the crappy muzak had to start over. LMAOEspecially when i'm calling my mobile operator.
But it seems no matter where I call (that I have to be put on hold), it's always this watery, garbled, musical mess I have to listen to....

I’ve discovered that one of the songs (prayers) we sing during the Jewish Shabbat service has exactly the right tempo for me to walk to at a nice, brisk pace. Total weirdness, right?
I found a YouTube video of a cantor singing it in a synagogue, and I can plug my EarPods into my phone and play the video and listen while I walk. The only downside is that I have to keep replaying the video to make it last for my entire walk.

This is weird..., but analyzing the reasons and consequences,- quite predictable
. My sister has always been thinking that her lifestyle is perfect, and that it's me who is unhealthy in all the ways (i'd been drinking, my diet differs from theirs, i have a twisted mind, in their opinion, etc...). And now, when she's pregnant, her today's bloodwork shows that her liver is not very good (while my recent bloodwork has shown that my liver had restored itself completely and is quite good now)
. Of course, she's disappointed about that and doesn't know what to. And mom now is asking me(!) what they all should do(!). All i could say is that it might be the baby who releases too much waste to the blood system, and that, considering this fact, it would be better if she reduces consumption of meat and fish and adds more fiber into her meals. But they wouldn't listen... So, why asking me??

I'm not complaining! I mean, think back to when ya first started using the internet, maybe you got one of those free-however-many-hundreds-of-hours-on-AOL CDs....I keep forgetting that all the "likes" and posts show up on those alert thingies.
Remember back to those three little words that made you feel giddy & loved.... "You've got mail!"
LMAOWhen I get alerts here or on Twitter, I get excited.
LOL, boy, have things changed! I tend to go in fits and starts here. Sometimes work takes over my life for a week or so, hence the catching up.I'm not complaining!

You know how you love watching certain people acting in the movies and on TV? And then they appear on the late night talk shows...and they turn out to be super boring in real life. Yeah, that’s why I often end up switching to another channel once Stephen Colbert is done with his monologues and comedy sketches. These days when I switch, it’s to catch the last 10 or 15 minutes of a Perry Mason rerun on ME-TV, and then The Twilight Zone.
