Valerie J. Routhieaux I hope you scored big on all three stops. Yes. I worked on a book, played Canasta, and went to my chiropractor in the opposite order listed.

DE @DaddyEvil (170561) • United States 8 Mar

Have you bought any of the Reese's candy they're putting out for Easter? They don't taste right. The Hersey's company claims they haven't touched the basic chocolate and peanut butter recipes but, on the packaging it says...

Valerie J. Routhieaux I'm sorry they changed the taste. I don't do Reese's. I wouldn't even if I wasn't allergic to peanuts. It sounds gross.

Do you remember when it wasn't a tragedy not to have a phone with you?

snowy @snowy22315 (204988) • United States 18 Mar

Now a days walking out and going somewhere especially somewhere far away, without your phone seems like a tragedy. If for some reason you have forgotten to bring it, aren't you kicking yourself all the time you are gone? I know I...

Valerie J. Routhieaux Haven't you said you stole someone's heart and it was the best thing you did? Seriously, stealing isn't ever a good thing. I'd be lying if I said I never stole anything. I was a kid, but yes, I knew better.

Amber @AmbiePam (116018) • United States 18 Mar

Valerie J. Routhieaux Apple fritters are delicious. But as you said, way too much sugar, and they're greasy too. I need to think about my last craving. I've been eating a lot of dark chocolate lately, but that's good for you.
