i'm curious: what's the source of these? i've been assuming you have a book or e-mail from which you're compiling these. ?

Zayda said on Nov 05, 2007....
Various sources, email being one. The last two about apples are from The September/October 2007 issue of Wondertime Magazine in an article on apples. :) -

zayda- I learned two important things here. First, I'll never turn orange, and second, I have three jaws (if you include me). -

Apparently someone else is getting my two donuts per day. I'm pissed. -
Zayda said on Nov 05, 2007....
LJ--Someone is getting my two donuts per day too. I think this calls for an investigation. -
lfbno7 said on Nov 05, 2007....
That is such a coincidence. My niece's name is Malhershalahashbaz. They always liked Biblical names, and already had an Esther. -

re: #113 - the remaining 20% work in my store. -
lioneljay said on Nov 05, 2007....
Z, or a date at the Krispy Kreme closest to the midpoint between us. :D -
Zayda said on Nov 05, 2007....
Well, LJ, I may just take you up on that one day. :) -
LadyGamer said on Nov 05, 2007....
Hey. I'm not getting my donuts either!
I take comfort from the knowledge that somewhere is a very very well stocked cop.

Zayda said on Nov 05, 2007....
LG--Does that mean that you and I need to make a donut date as well?!?! -
Fallyn said on Nov 06, 2007....
i do not eat 2 donuts a day.
though some days i'd like to.

Zayda said on Nov 06, 2007....
Well Fallyn, then perhaps that means you aren't the average American. -

lioneljay said on Nov 07, 2007....
So, ed, does that mean that you're about to start washing up before leaving the restroom? ;) -
silverwhisper said on Nov 07, 2007....
