No more nasty taffy

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:41:00 +0000

No I don't no way no how do I like even look at Mary Jane's. There is something about the taste, how it looks and the annoyance that was one of the candies in my Halloween Bag that always appeared. I hate them don't why and yet hate is strong word but there is something about them.

Why would you name a candy that is tan brown and square after a little girl. Look at it, it is just wrong and the taste is just ECK like sandpaper. It is also so hard that I that the one time I tried it literally couldn't get it out of my mouth and teeth. My dentist was not happy with that x-ray with the little piece of candy in my teeth. If you are going to name a candy after little girl, stick with pink & sweet and leave candy like that for seaman.

The Candy Is Mine

English: An Almond Joy bar, broken in half. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Candy and memories I can't remember many for when I eat candy I alone in my thoughts for I am too selfish to share with others.

I do enjoy the Halloween when I have to go looking for my almond joy, which by the way is really becoming a hot commodity since I don't see them any more in the bag when I check. I guess growing up in a home where candy was a luxury it had to be hidden since it was to be shared among others, I am pretty flexible but not like that since my siblings did the same. It was a quiet understanding but if one broke it, then the fists came out to defend our stash. Our mom did yell but we didn't say why other than he hit me or she is not be fair.

Mom was to never know and to this day I wonder if she did now but choose to stay away.

Gum of Yester Year

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 16:24:00 +0000

What I miss most is the candy from yesteryear available in stores today. When I was in school I carried he following two candies in my bag which one was Fruit Stripe Gum and another Fruit Stripe Gum and Howard's Gum which my mouth smelled like grapes.

The only time I was see them is at a Cracker Barrel or old time country store while on vacation. New York I think sometimes doesn't believe in keeping things from the past, it is time to move on and take the next big thing. With everyone finding to healthy the old candy was hard to find. It is mostly pure sugar some but I was fine nor was eating it consistently. Everything is moderation which is why I think certain things go off the shelf as fast as they do.

If I do see the Howard's Gum I plan on picking it up. As I write and look at the picture I am craving the taste for I wonder if it tastes the same or just tasted better when I was younger and smoking more.

My Liege to the Candy Fiend

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:02:00 +0000

Candy is good, candy is fine, candy make me lose my mind. I love it but I always enjoyed the odd as I go older.

From what I remember was the necklace given at a birthday party when I was still a toddler around three. Being a girl, I was fashionable with my home made clothes and then the jewelry topped it off. I had a colorful candy necklace so if I go hungry I was able to eat.

Candy Necklace

All kidding aside, it was the first and I didn't realize what it was other than pure sugar. If my mom knew then that I had traces of ADHD I may never would have experienced the taste because of "hyped up" from what I did after. Let just say lesson learned as an adult and now I monitor my daughter's intake.

For Me??Sweet Maybe

A smile is a considered sweet after a bad day, for me with a chaos of playing chauffeur for my kids it is nice to see that there is that one driver in Long Island who doesn't feel they are entitled to the road.

To find a kind eye who would allow someone to pass in front of them and avoid the race of that I have to be first before the light changes. How hard is it to stop road hogging and let people through. The courtesy of a light or a hand gesture to let a person through especially after a long day. It does get paid back in Karma, I do,

How Do I love Thee?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:05:00 +0000

Cover of Pugs (Complete Pet Owner's Manual)

How can one communicate their love for you, for me today was a pug with these big black round eyes as marbles.

At this time I am dog sitting my aunt's dog by the name of Paulie and he is definitely a Paulie. At first when he came he was quiet and observing then gradually began to make himself comfortable with the home.

This puppy is just adorable that everywhere I go he follows, back from the good old days when my children followed me. He waits by the door until I return from going out. I think this is the most affection from any male that I received in my life. At least when I am home still looking for work

This is not even my pug in the picture but I have it just to see him to know why I feel the unconditional love for him and vice versa.

Darkness of my life

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 00:10:00 +0000

Yes there is darkness in my life of who I follow which is the Hershey Special Dark Chocolate Bar. It is the sweet touch of bitterness that I crave for.

As with all darkness comes it has consequences which as such becoming a rare item to find. Since the last time I had the extra dark finishing off my Easter candy in late May the craving came again but never left. Over the last two months, I have not seen a Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Bar in my local 7-11, CVS, Waldbaums and other shopping establishments which is highly upsetting. When I have a bad day or knowing the mess I would come back to after food shopping, I pick up my Hershey's Extra and slowly eat it as I go home.

At my last doctor's appointment in Setauket, I was disappointed so as always the way to comfort myself is with something sweet that put me on a mission for my chocolate. As I was driving home, I stopped at CVS and lo and behold there was the Hershey Special Dark. That made my day much more satisfying, the quick fix to allow myself to breath and not think about the negative rather just breath in the sweet bitter taste.

It is the simple things that can always make us feel better, personally I wish I was a kid so I can have mommy make it go away than have it fester with me.

I am not going to lie and I will keep it simple it seems I have been kidnapped by the Procrastination fairy. I just read and look aimlessly with such good things to write then when my fingers hit the keyboard, it just draws a blank. I have a goal that I have to do and if I am not done by the weekend then I plan on giving up this blog.

A Great Loss to the Disco World

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 21 May 2012 01:52:00 +0000

This is a week that I have realized another piece of my childhood is slowly leaving me. First the Great Ms. Donna Summer passed away from cancer on Thursday, May 17 and today the twin of Maurice Gibb Mr. Robin Gibb passed away today.

The man from the pictures I have seen didn't let the disease stop him. As frail as he looked, he kept doing things as a healthy man would. It is a shame that this family has lost the men at such a young age beginning with Andy on his way to stardom away from his older brother's shadow, then Maurice who passed away at 53 on January 12, 2003. The BeeGees and Saturday Night Fever, that one album taught me the dance and become a expert in doing the hustle.

With iconic Ms. Donna Summer who brought so many songs that we hear at parties and you see everyone come up and dance. Everyone who I knew owned "On the Radio, Volumes 1 & 2" and just dance away. Even as I hear Hot Stuff, I remember skating at Laces with my friends and of course when Last Dance came on we knew it was time to get ready to go home.

VistaPrint - Still The Best

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 19 May 2012 23:46:00 +0000

VistaPrint is one of the well-known business card printing services. It is not limited to just business cards, for it offers Christmas Cards, labels, t-shirts, decals, magnets, websites and the list goes on. What is great about VistaPrint there is always a sale for what you are looking to purchase with free shipping. VistaPrint always thinks of the consumer first and ensure that when they purchase a product they have a repeat customer.

With the pending graduations coming up, what better for the college graduate is a business card with their information so when they branch out to the working world, they are ready. While thinking of the graduate, why not give him/her a website to with Vista Print and add it to the business card. With the business cards for the graduate, do not forget dear old dad by including him on the sale. As it is summer, approaching another item to consider is T-Shirts for summer camp trips or family reunions. Lastly, another thing, which is great to remember, is that summer means garage sales so pick up the lawn signs.

VistaPrint as it continues to expand, it stays true to where it all began by keeping repeat customer and prices reasonable.

The game of Charades is the best way to begin one's acting career. If you think of what it details knowing that you have to convince the person who it is you are.. If they are able to guess immediately, it shows that it was too easy or maybe went for the obvious.

Here is the opportunity to allow yourself to act the scene out of a favorite movie or act out the performer for the movie and even a simple posture to express it with raw emotion. We all like to be a performer deep down inside, so earn the Oscar.

Miss Scarlett

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 18 May 2012 02:42:00 +0000

The infamous Miss Scarlett it the person that perhaps at least most girls want to be when playing Clue. With her I can say I was one of the guilty ones. She is the one of most sensuality that when she did it with the candlestick in the conservatory, it did not matter. Though she murdered the vile Professor Plum or the orrnery Colonel Mustard the reason was understood why either of the two was to be killed.

For you are not to inflame the anger of a woman in Red.

Ladder, Ladder

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 17 May 2012 00:41:00 +0000

How can one say know the treachery that Chutes & Ladders give us. How we get frustrated that we are almost at the top and then the snap of the spinner we are back to square one.

There was a part in Grown-Ups where Chris Rock (Kurt), Adam Sandler (Lenny) and Kevin James (Eric) playing the game as it was poker. I enjoyed how they played it for money while using food pieces as chips to gamble on the game.

Yes the game is competitive and I will admit I do get frustrated when I am about five spaces from winning and I get the ladder that goes back to the bottom. It is an evil evil game and I did when I was younger and playing today with my eight year old gets very competitive and ugly.

The Mad Hatter

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 16 May 2012 00:53:00 +0000

Playing Monopoly I strongly believe is superstistion that in order to win you must play the piece that you are in order to win. We feel that if we don't have the right piece that we can't win and lose our focus because it isn't our piece.

I like the hat for it reminds me of being a Mad Hatter as in Alice in Wonderland as I study my opponets. The strategy of the game is always mind blowing and to be one step ahead. To be calculating is a intricate talent that only a person with a mind of genuine uniqueness can understand and wn.

Don't not think more of what the hat offers, it is not the top hat of that jolly mustached man on the box, no it is the mad hatter who knows all to well.

Go Fish

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 15 May 2012 02:26:00 +0000

To state Gold Fish is to this day, I have yet to figure it out. I have had all three of my children teach it to me but for some odd reason, I cannot grasp it.

As simple as it is, I have yet for the life of me understand the mechanics. But I cannot say no when asked especially as I began the withdrawal process from it a new generation of young cousins arose to play it.

Go Fish

Sunny Volleys

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 12 May 2012 01:22:00 +0000

When I went to high school, there were two gym sports I liked to play which was volleyball and dodge ball. These were the only two classes I enjoyed going to to release any bad moods during my four years of high school.

After high school, there were not many volleyball leagues and yet I wanted to play when I find out that I do not have experience enough. As I moved to Long Island being close to the beach and then finding out there volleyball leagues. Yet once again, to continue from the May 9th's prompt I am a average player and with all sports it is very competitive.

If I look beyond the competitiveness I like to play volleyball where it combines upper and lower body along with wicked workout. Of which volleyball I want to play it is the one on the beach. It is not at all easy especially after the rain. I love to be in the sun and most probably be nice and tan with a nice perk of being thinner. Volleyball gives the opportunity to work as a team and each person gets a turn in serving the ball.

If the person I want to be for a volleyball player is Gaby Reese.
