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.

that explains it. and I must have a few cacao beans mixed in there somewhere.
ah, yes. that explains it. and I must have a few cacao beans mixed in there somewhere.
of course!
Couple tiny differences!
So tiny. So minor.
ah, that explains it. I must have a few cacao beans mixed in there somewhere.
Sweet!! 🍰🍧🍥🎂
See! We’re all good.
We are! 👏
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).
Come on Lori. POTUS says its all fake news!
NOT gonna bits on *that*…no way. That guy is armed with a Sharpie…all bets are off…
Laughing….
Bite, not bits, good grief…
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. 🤪

I can’t disagree with that logic Sharon. But where’s the fun in that?!?
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.
Hmmm. Have you heard of Mandolin Orange? https://youtu.be/k2QjEgOtCAA
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.
I’m not a Blue Grass fan, but love these two. Especially love this tune:

And this one, for sure. And now I will stop.

Thank you for the links! I will check them out this evening. 😊
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?
Border Patrol, interesting….
You can call me “Sugar” any time. 🙂
Ha! Me too!

I always knew little girls were made of sugar and spice and all things nice!! Now you have proved my dad was right!
Of course he was!
Smiling sweetly, she said, “That’s a tad saccharine for my taste.”
Hah!
You are not so different.
You think? 😉
So, what you’re saying is we need sugar? Daily?
Daily? Darlene? A supplement during every meal. 3x per day.
now I feel better about asking for sugar in my coffee today.
I hope you asked for 2 teaspoons! (And yes Jim, somehow you landed in my Spam Box, Since Corrected! Sorry!)
I think Dunkin Donuts puts 5 teaspoons in an extra large coffee 🙂
And the fact that it the comment was in your spam folder is likely a good indication of the quality of the comment!
Laughing! NO!
Well sugar is all fine and good, except the tweeting kind of sugar, that has a rather sour taste to it. But find me some other sugar daddy and I be a happy woman 🙂
Ha! Will work on that Angeline.
Oh boy!
how sweet!
I certainly must have a few leftovers of the ‘real’ sugar in my body; I’m NOT a dessert or sweets person and yet – I look at a cake or patisserie and have another 5 pounds on my hips/stomach/everywhere…. 🙂
Laughing.
You shouldn’t laugh, you should commiserate with me 😉
Perhaps, you or Susan (since she is from Michigan) have indulged your sweet tooth here: https://www.experiencejackson.com/things-to-do/for-the-foodies/for-the-sweet-tooth
Never been to Jackson. She my have. Will check
