Think of the actual physical elements that compose our bodies: we are 98 percent hydrogen and oxygen and carbon. That’s table sugar. You are made of the same stuff as table sugar.
Just a couple of tiny differences here and there and look what happened to the sugar: it can stand upright and send tweets.

Laughing…I was *just* thinking about you yesterday, DK, as I watched a documentary called ‘Fed Up,’ which talks about sugar addiction. 😉 Not such a sweet thing….(but I love Burroughs’ writing, so will have to check that out).

Sweet validation! I have the same vice. Sometimes Godiva dark chocolate tempers it.

Sweet Validation! That’s right! Hmmm, Godiva doesn’t cure it for me. Gelato, smooth, cool and two helpings.

Gelato, even two servings worth, would leave me craving more sugar. Dark chocolate sticks in my throat (like cardboard) and prevents anything else from getting through. 🤪

Is that Blue Grass “Sweet Tooth”? I would have NEVER begged you for a Blue Grass Groupie…Never.

Groupie? Nah … though my husband and i do a cover of this (me on uke). Bluegrass is just a different configuration of H, O and C.

Yes, I have! We were traveling in North Wales this summer and played at a couple of open mics. Both times, someone performed a cover of Mandolin Orange. Meant to look them up and now you’ve reminded me.

This one is a Bob Dylan cover … perhaps more folk-country or Americana according to hubby who is a Dylan aficionado. Lovely version. He has several Mandolin Orange songs on his iPod and everything ever done by Bob. I wasn’t able to open the first one … border control perhaps?
