Pickles by Brian Crane for January 02, 2025

It’s the American way!

As long as it’s not chocolate X-Lax.

Its going to be a long night.

Must be the really dark chocolate. Mm..

That works for me.

Chocolate is my choice of self medication.

Shouldn’t you have the whole box of them with you.

Try the peppermint cocoa Opal, it’s very medicinal !

Opal’s got a cacao habit

Chocolate… the other food group.

Medicinal brand chocolate!

The Hershey self-help diet!

I once attended a day seminar aimed at health care professionals on Women’s Nutrition. The audience of approximately 350 included about 10 men.

The presenter asked the audience. “What’s the favorite food of menstruating women?” and the audience roared back as one, “Chocolate!” I looked around at the audience- the men looked scared.

Chocolate makes everything better!

And less expensive than an anti-depressant.

Works for me (just the expensive stuff). Makes it easy for my kids whenm it’s time for my birthday gift.

Opal is nestled with Nestlé.

Beer Here !

Sometimes chocolate does it. Sometimes ice cream does it.

You’re normal, Opal!

I do that all the time.

Sounds like a PLAN

Dove dark

Chocolate edibles work better.

Works for me!

Excellent idea. I believe I’ll follow your example!

Attagirl Opal…….

Over the lips, past the gum, look out hip, here it comes.

Awwww! Cheer up, Opal! Earl will take care of you…..maybe

Say what you will about JKR, she knew what she was doing when she made chocolate the answer to soul-sucking depression.

Works for me. Dark chocolate.

That works…until you have to sit on the toilet or your BS is through the roof!

Physician Hershey thyself.

Woman: “When I’m down in the dumps, I buy a new hat!”Man: “I wondered where you got them.” ;>)

better than wine

Yes chocolate! I admit to being really really picky about the type and brand.

works for me

Tends to cure.

You go, girl!

I’m down in the dumps about the price of chocolate.

“Aaaaaack!”

I hope it’s good chocolate and none of that Hershey’s or Nestle’s “stuff.” BTW, to all you living in the USA be prepared to pay more for good European chocolate when tiny’s tariffs kick in. Buy it now and stock your freezer.

It has been said to be efficacious within Muggles.

I do that with beer.

She takes solace from the land of milk chocolate and Honey Buns.

“Physician, heal thyself.”

“That’s what this chocolate is here for.”

I once told my Dr I had been self medicating. He gave me a strange look and I said with Ben and Jerry’s :)

Mmm. I hope it’s a Milky Way.

Every time I get rung up at the market I can hear those Ferrero Rochet 3 packs calling me, perfect treat on my way to the car.
