That’s what you get when you visit a doctor in Anytown, Florida
October 31st, 2008 at 7:42 am
I would NOT trust anyone by the name “Hackenbush.” You need a second opinion, and, if necessary, a third and a fourth until you get a doctor who knows what he’s doing. Candy is very serious business, Kathy. Maybe you should see a specialist.

And what did I find when I walked into my office this morning? A big, honking bucket of FULL-SIZE (not the one-bite snack size, oh no) candy bars. Please help me, someone! There are Snickers in there!

sasha — Same to you. Watch for all the goblins!
Jenn — I haven’t exactly followed the prescription to the letter. I had two mini-Butterfinger bars before breakfast. It’s a disease. I can’t be helped.
laane — If you have any candy leftover tonight, you know who’ll take it off your hands.
BabaBooey — Z stands for Zagnut. The one candy bar I won’t eat. Who buys those anyway?
muskrat — Seriously. I bought it all, so why can’t I eat it?
Jaffer — Can you believe I went all the way to Florida to visit the doctor?
JD at I Do Things — Yes, I am still suspicious of that fellow. Candy is serious and I don’t take it lightly. I got a few looks from other shoppers when I was stocking up. I filled the child seat part of the cart and then put even more bags in the larger compartment. They must have thought “Is she gonna leave any for us?”
Carla — Yes, it was better because you got the awesome doctor who dispenses only happy, stuff-you-can-actually-accomplish advice.
Ronald the Zombie — You’re not welcome here! I think The Junk Drawer needs an exorcism! Somebody help! JD, where are you? You know how to deal with the zombies!
tNb — Shhh… don’t tell anyone. I have a backup for my backup. I’ll never tell where that stash is!
lilly — Ah, you too! Can I have your candy?
fragileheart — They enjoyed life?
Jaffer — Hey! There you are! You’re supposed to keep that guy out of here. It took me hours to come back to respond to comments because I was a-scairt!
JD at I Do Things — Oh, please help me. What did you teach us?? To really kill a zombie, you have to chop off his head with an ax? Where’s my ax?!
Karen — I know! Stupid fake doctor!
Ronald the Zombie — If you lay a hand on JD’s kitties, chopping off your head isn’t the worst thing I’ll do. Now shoo!
Carol — Nah, nobody would dress as a doctor unless they wore a Jason mask with it and carried a chainsaw.
JD at I Do Things — Yeah! I have no doubt her gas is used in the production of bio-nuclear weapons. Ronald wouldn’t stand a chance!
Swubird — Then I’m living in the wrong neighborhood. We get up to 200 kids and I swear they’re bussing them in. But I’ll be ready. Fifty bucks ‘o candy should cover us.
Daisy the Curly Devil Cat — I agree. I think he’s a little fakey and doesn’t have a real degree in medicine. I liked your costume today. Glad the raven didn’t peck your eyes out!
absepa — I’m with ya. I’m supposed to be dieting. I’m sorry you have gigantic candy bars to contend with. Hope you didn’t give into them. The weekend’s almost here, so just get past the next few hours and you’re home free!
Athena — I wouldn’t be the first person to ignore a doctor’s advice. Lemme see how little I can keep for myself. Honestly, I’m supposed to be dieting. How will I make it through Thanksgiving and Christmas if I can’t get through Halloween?
Babs beetle — I forgive you for your part in Jaffer’s recent lunacy. Although, I think we can blame Ron who won the contest and JD for talkin’ so much about zombies lately. You’re all peas in a pod!
carol at A Second Cup — There’s always a silver lining if you look for one. Thanks for finding the loophole.
savvysuzie — Wow! Boo’d twice in one day. Boo back atcha and have a fun Halloween!
Ronald the Zombie — Look, pal. I’ve had enough of you and your freak orange googly eyes. You think Mitzi is your friend, do you? What makes you think she won’t bite your face off?
mlm — Sorry about not running a What’s That? Wednesday this week. I think if I posted every day of the week, I could run that weekly. I’m doing them only twice a month now. Look for a new one next Wed. Oh, wow. I haven’t commented there in a long time. I love that place. Every post there is golden!
Sniffle and the Florida Furkids — It’s kind of stupid for me to even have a secret stash. I know where it is. It needs to be secret to me for it to work, now doesn’t it?
Joe — I think he knows he’s a quack. I mean, look at the goofy name. I think the MD stands for Medical Doofus. He gets none of my candy, even though I have enough to feed an army.
Poetikat — It sounds like it, doesn’t it? I just googled it and found out that hackenbush is the name of a mathematical game! OMG. I said there’d never be math in The Junk Drawer again! Dr. Dickoff?! Seriously. How long before you stopped laughing about that? Sheesh.

“How will I make it through Thanksgiving and Christmas if I can’t get through Halloween?”
Exactly! Halloween treats are a test of my willpower, to see how I’m going to handle the upcoming engorgement holidays. I didn’t eat any of the Snickers, but I did snarf down a (whole) pack of Starburst in about six minutes. Baby steps…

That’s just wrong on so many levels. Isn’t the idea of finally being a grown up the fact you can go buy lots of bags of your favorite candy, give a miserly 1 piece out per kid, then turn your light off early so you have lots of great candy to eat? It’s the main reason I wanted to grow up. No more trying to trade off the candy you don’t like. It’s ALL keepers.

November 1st, 2008 at 7:28 am
Gandalf and Grayson — If you showed up here, I would have been happy to give you all our Temptations. Only one of our cats really likes them, so we have a stash I would have loved to unload on you!
Babs beetle — Oh, noes! Mitzi, I’m OK. And Jaffer’s OK, and Ronald’s OK. Everybody’s OK! Yes, let’s blame JD. She started the zombie thing!
Regan — I saw your pictures. Loved your Florida tourist outfits, but you should have taken luggage on wheels. Just think, you could have filled them with candy!
haleyhughes — We were surprisingly low on visitors this year. We went through 14 bags of candy bars and have 8 or 9 bags leftover, which we’re going to give away somewhere. They cannot stay in the house!
absepa — “Engorgement Holidays.” Love it! Can I steal that? You did well choosing Starbursts over Snickers. I’m proud of you.
Ferd — Man, if you lived close, I’d be happy to dump the leftovers on your doorstep. We have 8 or 9 bags left. I think I goofed when I bought the supply.
Chris (Casey) — I wound up nibbling on some Butterfingers on the couch, cursing my lack of willpower the whole time. But today’s a new day. We’re dumping leftovers on some poor unsuspecting soul. It’ll be their problem then!
Jenny — Hey, if Vicodin would suppress my appetite, I’d take it. If you don’t get Johnny for Halloween, maybe Christmas?
meleah rebeccah — And same to you. Glad to see on Twitter that your son made it home from treating safe and sound.
Shadowsrider — Absolutely! Any excuse to gorge myself on kid candy. My husband, at this very moment, is feasting on Reese’s. Every notice how much smaller they’re getting? Geesh. No wonder I can eat a whole bag.
unfinishedrambler — Yeah, totally fake. So right there it means I didn’t have to follow it. I did try to tweak that image, but I’m lazy, so you got Florida.
vinkoy — Ah, the dippy egg! I’m gonna try to be good today and have that for breakfast instead of Butterfingers.
Data Entry Services — So I hear! Except that it’s only good for you if you don’t eat a trough’s worth.

That is the oddest perscription but just think there would be no more temptation to go eat your sercret staff but i think there needs to be another opinion for the perscription. So i think you should ask your brain and it will tell you you should no give the candy out and eat it all!
November 4th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
brooke — Well, to be honest, I did leave a lot for myself. Too much, I’m afraid. And my stomach didn’t feel so good the next morning. Moms are correct. Too much candy gives you a tummy ache.

Actually, it shows a practical side that you are less likely to find these days from your doctor. More likely they would prescribe something for your high blood pressure, your diabetes, and your cholesterol rather than getting at the heart of the problem, your eating habits.
