who knows how accurate this is, but the last line is pretty funny



I have never been to an NA meeting, but in AA meetings I do not think I have seen a single soda. People just drink tons of coffee and chain smoke.

My understanding is drug abusers often substitute sugar for the drug. They eat lots of candy bars and drink lots of Coke.

I was thinking today about how we all clearly missed the boat. Starting a few years ago we all should have started our own silly company that sells dogfood that looks like 'human food' ... there are a bunch of companies doing that now, wow, and boy do they spend on the commercials

I was in a dog food business in the late seventies. Health food dog food and it sold fairly well. Of course there were no regulations yet, so that was a lot of it. It was my idea and it ended up in People magazine in the inventors section in 1978.

That is awesome Bob. Were you able to sell it for a profit?

I was watching part of "Bus Stop" and wondering if Marilyn Monroe would have had good looking children? I suppose it's in the eye of the beholder, but sometimes stunners don't transfer that look to their children.

Also had to look up her mole. The real one was on her cheek. Later on the cheek one was gone and she had one on her chin.

Perhaps would depend on who their father would've been. She had a tough life. I feel bad for her.

At least he was only 8. Older teens were swallowing tide pods and doing other unwise things.
