They still have ooryster crackers, but you have to search for those old time round hard ones. They tent to give you these small, soft things now and say they are oyster crackers. Maybe they are clam crackers, but they sure aren't oyster crackers.<br /><br />Larrynitewrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968271056094267260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-75518741994692416622017-04-24T13:30:26.237-05:002017-04-24T13:30:26.237-05:00I got the DVD for my sister's birthday.

But too much sugar can definitely cause the shakes.<br /><br />I vaguely recall seeing "April Love" loooong ago. It's kinda cute how the delinquents were all well-dressed in those days.<br />I was only five years old when we first moved to California.

Communicating with strange people from India scares me......(now all the trolls will appear to call me a racist).<br /><br />I've GOT to seriously get my tired ass in gear to write those two books. I love doing research always and I definitely have enough info to write a book about the 1906 murder.<br /><br />And my life story would make an interesting read.

Enjoy them and buy another bag once in town. I like the red and yellow ones. I just read your previous post, and a book would be an interesting read since there's likely more to the tale of the 1906 murder in the family.<br /><br />Raining here as well. Better that than raging forest fires. Have you been to Vietnam ? Hoi An is spectacular, as well as the people, culture, cuisine, .... beautiful country with or without the rainy seasons.
