Did Helen take out and reform the cheek-saved empanada into a ravioli and eat it again? I bet she would have if she had a toaster handy. Nothing says "yummy" like pre-chewed-empanada-as-toasted-ravioli. I eat it all the time.TankTopManhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07719658670826021613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697374478580727783.post-29744823461569043342008-07-14T20:46:00.000-04:002008-07-14T20:46:00.000-04:00Karen -- oh, that wasn't my intention at all. I just wanted you to feel bad for me. I enjoy sympathy, not empathy :)<BR/><BR/>G -- workin' on it. Kind of got myself wedded to this, one story a month thing. But if you want to pay me by the hour, I might work faster. Probably not, but it might be worth the shot.Jonah K.

Since I will not be able to afford to fly anyplace anytime in the near future (I really can't bring myself to feel bad about that or anything) I will probably not enter an airport for the rest of my life.Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01863189624045706074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697374478580727783.post-15073256674388410102008-07-09T21:11:00.000-04:002008-07-09T21:11:00.000-04:00I try not to eat anything after novacaine.

I will share them with Helen, when she finishes eating the empanada. It was a big one.<BR/><BR/>Pixie -- thanks for your nice words. I'm working on another story right now that will grab those heartstrings, yank them out of your body, stomp on them, and leave them bleeding and unconscious in the gutter.

WOW!!! <BR/>Not regurgitated for naught! <BR/>You definitely have a way of grabbing at heartstrings with your words.<BR/>Thank you.Pixielynhttp://youvebeenpixied.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697374478580727783.post-73408320686718027242008-07-02T04:26:00.000-04:002008-07-02T04:26:00.000-04:00It is worse, when you discover, upon 'thawing' that you have chewed, & possibly swallowed, half your inner cheek flesh!meggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697374478580727783.post-32337024842297469342008-07-01T11:00:00.000-04:002008-07-01T11:00:00.000-04:00I try to stick with vodka after all major or minor procedures of any kind, but I'll keep this in mind for friends and family, thanks!WNGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00900726730265994177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697374478580727783.post-77726989465098187682008-06-30T23:20:00.000-04:002008-06-30T23:20:00.000-04:00I'm glad we cleared that up.
