Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Warning

Happy Birthday to Lloyd! Yay! I’m so glad you guys have your birthdays three days in a row. That was good planning on your part.

Someone brought various breads and left them in the teachers’ lunch room. One of the breads had a funny warning on it. The rolls were positively covered with sunflower seeds, and many loose seeds were littering the bag. And then it had this warning:

Ya think?

Ya think?

It was choir practice night, so I stayed through after school. I went back to the grilled cheese place. This time I got a roast beef and swiss sandwich. My side item was cream of broccoli soup. The sandwich was tasty. I mis-read the name of the soup and thought it said broccoli and cheese soup, so I was a little disappointed. It was still good. Both items were acid triggers. I think I’m starting to see a pattern: tasty food that makes me burn. Let that be a warning to me I guess.

I have never read this story before.

I have never read this story before.

    Ha! I say your photo and instantly thought of your caption!

    Ummmm…. slight spoiler alert: I, too, have never read Old Yeller, but perhaps you shouldn’t finish it in a public place. I hear it ends……um….. er….. what kind of soup was that again?

      I’ve heard about the ending as well, but even if I didn’t, the author says it on the very first page:

      He made me so mad at first that I wanted to kill him. Then, later, when I had to kill him, it was like having to shoot some of my own folks.

      Why would he do such a thing? It reminds me of the book the 8th graders are reading. It’s called “My Brother Sam is Dead”. It’s a HUGE plot point. Why does the author say it in the title? Sheesh!

        Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!! I didn’t know he shoots him!! I just thought the dog died!! I will never, never, never read it. Never.

    They should probably also warn that it contains bread.

    Yup – don’t read the book in public…or alone…or ever. I can’t even watch episodes of “Lassie” without weeping, though, so maybe I’m not the best judge.

    Sorry about the soup mis-read. Probably healthier without the cheese, but then you had Swiss on your sandwich, so…

    ..and a tremendously happy birth-week to, apparently, the entire state of Nebraska! Many, many more, y’all!
