You all know the ice cream company? Very expensive ice cream, which I recently discovered in small tubs at my local supermarket. I'd heard about Salted Caramel ice cream, with some bloggers raving about it, so when I saw the Haagen-Dazs tubs on sale for only $5 I bought some. I loved it! Fabulous stuff. Just the right amount of salted caramel streams to counteract the sweet ice cream. I would have rated it five stars. But just lately, I have been disappointed with the product containing far too much of the salted caramel and my rating now would be only one star. I went to the website and clicked on "contact us" to let them know I was no longer happy. The link popped up with an address to "General Mills" which I then clicked on only to find a small popup informing me they were "offline". Just because it is past regular business hours or permanently? Who knows. So I'm airing my grievance here instead. If this results in fewer sales of their Sa
Dad used to tell me that thunder was god bowling. He also told me that eating my bread crust would make my hair curly.
ReplyDeletelotta joy; I heard the same thing about thunder and bread crusts :) I know the bread crust thing isn't true, my hair is curly/wavy anyway, but most people I know eat their crusts and not all of them have curly hair. I wonder how that statement came about?
DeleteSounds like a fun place....no paint balls?
ReplyDeleteonly slightly confused; I'm sure some of the younger Angels have paint in their super soakers :)
DeleteI think most kids get the 'God bowling' thing. Not hard to imagine a shoot out with the super-soakers, is it?
ReplyDeleteS.J Qualls; super-soaker shoot-outs are great fun, my grandkids had them one summer and boy did the water fly!
DeleteSo THAT'S the reason!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; yep! there's a reason for everything.
DeleteMakes perfect sense! Like everyone else, I got that bowling story about thunder. The only reason we weren't told about the super soaker is it wasn't invented yet!
ReplyDeleteSusan; I bet the Angels had them first and showed them to someone in a dream so he/she could invent them here on earth.
DeleteEven angels deserve some fun...
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; of course they do. Everyone does.
DeleteBy the sounds of it there have been a few of those angels hovering about down your way lately and throughout the Forbes area in NSW. The drought-stricken areas of western Qld have had their share of super-soaker angels, too. :)
ReplyDeleteLee; they're here alright, but still bowling, I guess the supersoakers aren't ready yet.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear drought areas are getting soaked.
Cute cartoon! It looks like many of us received the same parenting tales! My brother and I were told that thunder was the angels bowling, and of course we believed it...our parents' said so! :)
ReplyDeleteBECKY; I learned fairly early not to believe everything my parents said. After all, the kids at school learned entirely different things sometimes, so I got suspicious. Whose parents had the REAL story?
ReplyDeleteSqueezing her cheeks while punching her in the stomach. Such a description of abuse moved my soul. You always create great stories.
