Oh good Lord....do you think they named the characters after the paper dolls or vice-versa?

I ate some chocolate at work and now my tooth is really hurting.
Between fried foods hurting my stomach and sweets hurting my teeth....
one would THINK that I'd be all skinny.

I was posting along in all the other forums this morning wondering why I had so much free time....then I realized I hadn't came to the Freebie forum at all.

My tooth is much better. My mom always save me a variety of pills since I don't have health insurance. I did have some amoxicillan (sp?) on hand that I could take. I also have some other 'fun' stuff....but I don't want to drive or go to work on those.

A friend of mine at work has a homeless ministry where they distribute food. We have a whole group of homeless vets who live along the river in the woods behind our house....so my son takes them food from my friend's ministry since it could be dangerous for a woman to go back there. This all started when one of them was eaten by an alligator last year and we were sending our condolences to his brother. Since then, we give them food, blankets, other camping type household items since they
live in tents.

My son asked me this morning if I wanted to donate my shampoo samples and stuff that I get for free................
I said NO and now I'm feeling all stingy.

It's nice that you guys do that but don't fell stingy. If you can use it then keep it. My mom always taught us charity begins at home.

Whats with Subway? I ordered a sub yesterday and took it home to eat. There's not much in it and the white bread was kinda old and dry.

The manager may be lazy or just cutting financial corners.
Write a quick email to Subway.
You'll probably get a free sub out of it.

Flat Stanley is named Stanley Lambchop and based on a book written in 1964. Stanley and Stella of "Streetcar" fame were written about much earlier than that in 1947. So "Streetcar" came first by nearly 20 years. I just looked all of this up.

I have friends who had two cats who are sister and brother. Their names are Stella and Stanley (names from Streetcar). Stella the Diva Cat now lives with me and there is nothing flat about her.

I'm almost certain this wealth of information will never benefit me in the future, but it WAS interesting.

I spent a lot of time this week watching documentaries on rock bands. I am now a walking encyclopedia on a whole variety of people.

I ate a hamburger for lunch and it made me really sick. I couldn't even get it together to go to work. After it was over, I was fine, but it is REALLY getting old never knowing what I can eat without getting ill. Maybe I should just go ahead and take Prilosec on a daily basis.
