halt stop forget relax

I know I am not the first one to mention this, but I really don't like the "new" Blogger interface. I have gone through it, and I changed my background to one more seasonal, and it was a pain in the ass. Just enough different to make it a frustrating experience for me. Oh well, it's done for now. I just started watching the series "Switched at Birth" which airs on the Family Channel, though I am streaming it on TUBE+.

Or an ice cream bar, like the coffee ice cream  coated with chocolate and toffee that I had the last time I went up to the Bargain Market on my scooter ... on the way to the Starbuck's next door. The coffee was "free" because I bought it with a gift card. I love gift cards. And the ice cream bar was a spontaneous purchase; after all it was only $1. Just a buck. It tasted just like the Dove bars and Haagen Dazs bars that cost three times a...
