Attention policemen! Healthy donuts are here!


Krispy Kreme has come to our rescue! They have invented a whole wheat donut that is about 20 calories less than the finger-licking' good glazed ones. (hmmm...I might have mixed my fast food slogans here)
It also must be enticing as an alternative to the popular normal goodie as it boasts that it has l less fat gram and 1/2 gram less of trans-fat.
Does that mean I can have two and not get a sugar spike and gain three pounds?
Of course, now-a-days, when people see the word, "trans-fat", they should run, not walk away from that enticement.

I know where they got that word...TRANS-FAT = this food item transfers fat directly onto your buttocks faster than Mel Gibson can put his foot in his mouth.
If I'm going to eat a donut, and I am...it sure won't be a whole wheat one. Even the words, "whole wheat" give me pause to enjoy anything ~ and my over-worked guilt-meter gets dialed up higher than the voice of Tiny Tim as he tip-toes through the tulips. (Whoops, I think he is now pushing, not tip-toeing, up another type of flower now)

My guess is that the Krispy Kreme's stock is not going to "rise" with this new donut introduction. I think maybe the company's product development team is made up of some of The Apprentice Show's re-jects, some who actually believe that people who consider themselves a healthy eater, would even darken the drive-through of K.K.
I know that I order them and have them delivered in an un-marked brown paper bag.

Honk if you love lard!

"Hare-brained" Doctor's notes


I love Dr. Mercola. He is a physician who likes to investigate various alternatives to some mainstream medical practices. He has a website (www.mercola.com) and an email newsletter that included the folowing:

The following quotes were taken from actual medical records, as dictated by physicians ~

"Patient has two teenage children, but no other abnormalities."

"Skin: Somewhat pale but present."

"The lab test indicated abnormal lover function." (wow...the poor dude!)

"Examination of genitalia reveals that he is circus sized."

"She stated that she had been constipated for most of her life until she got a divorce." (he must have been a real ____ head)

"Occasional, constant, infrequent headaches."

"By the time he was admitted, his rapid heart had stopped, and he was feeling better."

"On the second day the knee was better and on the third day it had completely disappeared."

"The patient has been depressed ever since she began seeing me in 1983."

"The patient is tearful and crying constantly. She also appears to be depressed.

"Discharge status: Alive but without permission.."

"Healthy-appearing decrepit 69-year-old male, mentally alert but forgetful."

"The patient refused an autopsy." (who wouldn't?)

"The patient has no past history of suicides."

"Patient has left his white blood cells at another hospital."

"The patient's past medical history has been remarkably insignificant, with only a 40-pound weight gain in the past three days." (That is a challenge, even for Weight Watchers!)

"She slipped on the ice and apparently her legs went in separate directions in early December."

"Between you and me, we ought to be able to get this lady pregnant." (Whoa!)

"The patient was in his usual state of good health until his airplane ran out of gas and crashed."

"She is numb from her toes down." (maybe she has a carpet with no feelings?)

"The skin was moist and dry." (and a gorilla is 'barely' hairy"

"When she fainted, her eyes rolled around the room" (I hope the floor was clean)
