Canadians have doughnuts?  
Who knew?  
The chocolate covered look good, but the hearts and sprinkles…maybe Swampy or Canadians like them.  
:dubious:  
I am sure that you will have success with your doughnuts, Emily. Sprinkles aside, they look yummy! 🙂

Dindin has been ingested. NUM! I done good! 😃 OYKW is havin’ him a soak in the tub. He lurves my tub! I am here chillin’. Life is good. I didn’t think he’d be spendin’ the night, but I ain’t complainin’.

**Midget** the donuts look good. **flytrap** one can remove the hearts. The sprinkles just sorta blend in with the chawklit so you don’t really notice you’re eatin’ em.

Not all of the doughnuts have sprinkles. Some of the ones underneath those ones just have glaze.

Arrgh, still so much to do today and I haven’t finished much.

The donuts look good enough to eat, **Emily**!

I fixed a beef fajita salad for supper and it’s good. 🙂

I worked at the 24 hour store. Had a lady in there taking to The Voice In Her Head for a while. Came home, had a follow up phone interview for the job(s). Late night hockey in a bit.

Unplug all the machines, then plug 'em back in. It works for the computer.😃

the proper way to do that is:

1. Cook 1lbs bacon, remove from pan
2. Fry 2 eggs in bacon gease.
3. Dump fart Blossoms into compost bin.

Sorry **Apes** , {{{{hugs}}}}

Had a tooth pulled yesterday by a guy wearing a lab coat and wielding pliers who claimed he was an oral surgeon. I don’t believe him now. I’ve got one chipmunk cheek and I’m taking Aleve and prescription painkillers.

Luckily I took today off and am not making major decisions.

I’m having mashed taters with cheese mixed in for dinner.

Also, the low is going to be something like -6F tonight. ☹

I DID NOT KNOW THIS ABOUT LAS VEGAS

Do Las Vegas churches accept gambling chips?

This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas but there are more catholic churches than casinos.

Not surprisingly, some worshipers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when the basket is passed.

Since they get chips from many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings.

The churches send all their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan monastery for sorting and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.

This is done by the chip monks.

Yay for no stitches, **Apes**!

Got a call from baby Sis this evening. My mom fell today and is in the hospital. There were no broken bones, but , as she was slated to go into a nursing home later in the month, this will hasten things up a bit. Maybe Dad can catch up on some sleep now. Good thoughts appreciated.

{{{Red’s Mom}}}

Don’t tell RT, but I’ve been moving furniture. I have a grand plan to make room to move my papasan chair back into the house! I’m eyeing the shelf in the corner right now trying to decide if I really want to move it by myself tonight (and pull all of the junk off of it) or if I want to wait and do it when he gets home. Hmm…

Did I ever tell you about the time I was on duty & sliced my finger? Well, lemme tell you iffn you show up at the local ER where you know most of the staff by name & wearing EMT attire you _don’t_ get a lot of sympathy. Noooooo! What you _do_ get is the local amateur open mic night standup routines! :rolleyes:

● “Oooohhh, looks bad…probably fatal.”

● “We may need to amputate.”  
● “At the wrist?”  
● “No, the neck”

Buncha f’kin’ jokers they are. :mad:

Feel better, **Apes**

Was he in your dentist’s office, or just some random guy standing on the street corner? :dubious:
