Nothing?

yeah? what about freshly laundered tee and boxers, and someone to exchange thie day's highlights with and who will then tell you a tale while you're falling asleep?

Which is made all the more enjoyable by delightfully minty breath.

What if you use that orange flavoured toothpaste?

and stuff?

Yeah John! What about the stuff!

Minty stuff?

There's more to live and toothpaste then mint.

'life', rather.

Perhaps but the point is that life (and sleep and necking) is BETTER when minty.

mint, orange, licorice... the thing is, dudes, is that without the right companion, it just don't matter the flavour. actually, with the right companion it don't matter, either. this is the problem, the trial of just about every consumer product out there: we gain choice but we lose sight of the fact that this stuff is slowly replacing true love. gosh, don't get me started.

You speak nothing but the truth. Start away, I say!

ouf! ok. i feel a little better now. i spent a few minutes sitting on the floor in a corner, sucking my thumb and weeping. 'xcuse me while i blow my nose. alright. so true love, let's see. the thing that makes you run away, if you're anything like me! a gut fear of being as lost close to the other person as you are away from them, know what i mean? anyone know how to negociate that turn?

you're asking the wrong kid THAT question! lol single-ness is a reeeeeeeeeal comfort zone. Not necessarily prefered, but comfortable and habit forming.

you know, i'm thinking maybe this is where the virtues of safe, familiar consumer goods does come in... how heartbreaking can the world really be when you're sitting in the dark watching Dave Letterman with a huge bowl of Alpha Bits on your lap, seriously?

I didn't realize my nocturnal niceties would lead us here!


I personally believe that it's important that one should be able to enjoy minty breath with or without a companion. While I love having tales told by a cozy companion as I'm dropping to sleep, I can also enjoy the cool cleanliness all on my ownsome.

And may I also say this, I love reading your responses!

Alphabits are definitely one of the worlds greatest comforts. ...and they're not even minty!

Alphabits are magnificent. i worry constantly that they're disappearing, as Dominion seems to be the only store that still has them relatively constantly. i suppose Frootloops could do the job, in a panic, but A. Bits are so much more fascinating!

anyway. a rainy but mild day, which i hope is a great one for y'all.

I used to eat Alphabits when I was a kid - its a rare situation when I get to enjoy them (dog sitting at my uncle's place last weekend... got some bits!...thank goodness for 9 yr old cousins!).
Can't do the loops though. Anything that tastes like fruit that isn't actually a bit of raw fruit is something I prefer to avoid. (and yes, that includes jams, pies, etc. Cooked fruit, processed fruit... yuk!).

Honey Nut Cheerios! Now, there's a cereal!

That's an interesting aversion you got there. Good thing chocolate is not a fruit. I understand that the host of this blog (code name: John) lives very close to a place I had no idea even existed: The Cupcake Shoppe. It must be hard to be him.

Cupcake Shoppe? lol, that's awesome. :)

Yeah, my family is famous for weird food aversions. For instance my brother won't eat anything white.

You know in my sad little life I've never even tried Alphabits. And now I learn that I'm within loping distance of a Cupcake Shoppe?

yeah, but I'm sure you enjoy cooked fruit and foods that are white. Things could be worse.

Yes, cooked fruit (apple pie!) and white (can't think of anything!) are fine with me. I may be averse to eating things that used to be cute, i.e. calves, lambs, kittens, those sorts of things.

white... milk, chocolate, alfredo sauce, yogurt, banana's, dragon fruit (new discovery of mine! yum!)...did I mention alfredo sauce? mmm...

Unpleasant to think about eating kittens. Thanks for putting that image into my head! ugh!

speaking of cats, you should enter a picture of your one (or both) of your cats to this site:
www.stuffonmycat.com

potatoes, rice, most dairy, white bread... good for your brother.

that's right: The Cupcake Shoppe, 2417 Yonge. must be dreamy.

hey, i know the cat website! Kerry, i believe i might have hear about it first on your own. it's fun.

>> i believe i might have hear about it first on your own.

This probably made perfect sense in the original Swahili.

>> www.stuffonmycat.com

My cats would never tolerate having stuff on them long enough to take a pic...

Elise, it sounds good for him at first, except for his love of mini pizza's and bbq chips with vinegar...

John, there's always a way to get stuff on cats. Once someone submitted a photo of a cat that had an other cat on top of it.

i.e., "on your own website". dude. what's wrong?

and don't you be like that with me, young man.

for your trouble, it'll be one dozen cupcakes from the Cupcake Shoppe. Mixed flavours.

Oooooooooooh MY website! lol Ok. :)

What's wrong with me? NOt a thing - its Friday and I'm happy! woo!

>> for your trouble, it'll be one dozen cupcakes from the Cupcake Shoppe. Mixed flavours.

That's a lot of cupcakes, Cupcake.

You'd better get shoppin' then! ;)

why, suggesting that i express myself in english like a swahili native speaker, that was a lot of trauma!

but you're in luck : i just had a grab bag of double hit Kernels popcorn, so i guess you're off the hook.

I find you even more amazing now that I know that as well as all your other talents you also can speak Swahili.

oh shut up.

LOL
