Overheard in the Grocery Store
Last night I went to the store to get a few things I thought might make me feel better while battling another cold/sinus/bronchial…you get the idea.
For some reason I had a craving for almonds, so I pushed my cart to the proper aisle. I overheard this converstaion by a middle-aged couple:
Husband: Hon, do you want Planter’s or Fisher’s nuts?
Me: (snickering under my breath)
Wife: Umm…I dunno, whatever.
Husband: Well, you decide. I don’t care.
Wife: Just get whatever.
Husband: Okay….how about honey roasted nuts?
Wife: Eww. No. I hate sweet nuts.
Me: (trying with all my might not to laugh out loud)
The funniest part is they were so cool and calm, as if they have conversations about nuts every day. Not a smile was cracked between them.
I can’t stop giggling.

Nuts are funny! I can’t help but giggle every time someone says the planet Uranus. That’s so funny! My girls don’t get the humor though and think I’m weird.

Cute Story! I enjoy your blog (smiles!) and I’m sorry about the Packers. I would have liked to see Favre get back to the Superbowl.

Well obviously you are a twelve year old boy! lol You probably really would have lost it if they had discussed getting smoked versus roasted nuts, right?

That was funny, thanks for the smile. *chuckle*
feel better faster by grabbing some grapefruit seed extract(health food store), fresh pomegranate juice (Pom Wonderful brand is best), and elderberry juice.
4oz pom, 4oz elderberry, and 5 drops GSE drank three times a day or as it pleases you (I think it’s super-yummy if a bit tart-sweet) will really help clear up any bronchial ick. Plus, the GSE is a natural germ-killer, so this blend and washing your hands every couple of hours (whether they need it or not) will make sure it doesn’t come back.
If you like sour stuff, add up to 15 drops GSE to the mix for a sour & tart sensation.
Get well soon!

Dana, we’re cut from the same cloth. Nuts make me giggle. So do balls.

I love you all so much. Just coming over here to enjoy nut humor with me makes me day.
Whimspiration, thanks for the suggestion. I’m going to try that. I need all the help I can get. (Besides, I think I’m being punished for not making a New Year’s resolution to not get sick. See what happens? Heh.)
Elizabeth, I am indeed a twelve year old boy. Minus the penis and facial hair. LOL
Leslie, you and I must be long lost sisters!

Classic! How can you not laugh! But then again, I have the sense of humor of a teeny bopper.
