Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for June 12, 2011

I have never liked flip flops, I’d rather go barefoot.

I concur on the fudgeypops, however, I wish that people had the sense to only let kids wear flip flops during the summer, or going to the beach. Not as daily footwear to school.

Agreed. It’s not spam. Good Work.

Good morning all. I have started collecting some avatar’s not doing a contest. Ladyfinger86 glad yours are in fun to.Max you should not give the dog fudge very bad for dog.

think max had a popsicle

“flip flops and Fudgeypops”. Sounds like a 50s/60s song.

Ah, the Fudgesickle, and the Popsickle ambrosia.

Free toes and Fritos.

Does anybody remember when it was flip-flops that people meant when they talked about wearing thongs?@♥Kab♥ Buch – that’s not a fudgeypop the dog is licking – it’s pink (but the food dye is probably worse than the theobromine).@ladyfinger86 – maybe it’s not spam, but after seeing the same message so many times, it’s having the same effect.@graham 177 – either a song or a band (1910 Fruitgum Company).

Dogs have survived for millions of years using the “Eat first, ask questions later” strategy. That’s one of the reasons they vomit so easily; it’s an evolutionary adaptation. Within certain limits, they’re pretty hardy. (I’ve never deliberately given a dog chocolate, but I’ve known many who’ve happily snapped up the dribbles and drops whenever they could.)

When I was a kid, a trip to Dairy Queen meant that Maggie got a baby-cone of her own, and there were never any adverse consequences.

I agree, Night-Gaunt49. This is the first summer that I have bought flip-flops for my kids, and may never buy them again. They change the way you walk, cause injuries and have almost no support, especially those flimsy ones that seem to be the most popular. Now the fudgypops I am in favor of… pass the box!

Actually, Max is demonstrating “the greatest invention of all time”: BARE FEET!!! Holly and Alix are WAY too young to be wearing sandals on nice, soft grass — those are for old, worn-out feet like Dad’s!

when I was growing up we called them fudgicles

New research shows that barefoot, or cheap flat soles are best/safest for your feet..causes people to walk as though barefoot, which prevents foot injury.
