Today's Question(s):
We all like foods that we know we shouldn't eat, but we do anyway. Sooooo...
Is your "snack tooth" inclined toward:
sweet? Yes.
sour? Yes.
salty? Yes.
bitter?

What are your top three favorite snax?
1. Dark chocolate. Pure, unadulterated (no nuts or filling), solid dark chocolate. My heaven is paved with dark chocolate. :P
2. Katie's brand potato chips. (A local NW IN brand.)
3. Olives.
What snack have they discontinued (or you just can't find/get any more) that you miss the most? I can't think of any.

Just for Fun:
I'm always surprised when... Traffic around road construction isn't as bad as I anticipate. It happened on my way to work today. I allowed extra time and the traffic flow was so good that I got to work early.

Bonus Question:
What was your favorite thing to do with your friends in high school? Gosh, it's hard to remember back that far! *ha* I used to love having sleepovers with my girlfriends and listening to records.

Today’s Word:
ablate
Pronunciation: (a-BLAYT)
Meaning: verb tr.: To remove by melting, vaporizing, erosion, etc.
verb intr.: To become ablated.
I learned this word a couple of decades ago, when analyzing medical records for my job as a paralegal. I had to learn a lot of medical terminology, and ablation is among those words. I really miss that aspect of my prior job. Now, I review contracts and use construction terminology instead of medical terminology.

Today is:
American Eagle Day Eagles are cool. :cool"
World Refugee Day
Summer Solstice Longest day of the year! I love it when the days are long, though I don't like the heat that comes with it.
National Daylight Appreciation Day Yay!
Anne & Samantha Day Huh?
World Peace and Prayer Day Every day . . . . . .

Happy hump day, kids!

Good afternoon everyone. I'm late today, have been to the seaside. Now then, my snack tooth is on the sweet side, I like cake. My three favourite snacks are, buns with strawberry jam inside, covered with white chocolate bits from ASDA. Another is the chocolate cake I get at my favourite buffet in Las Vegas. My third is ice cream.... My favourite thing to do with school friends was chase girls. Well, you never get fed up of them, do you!!!
