Q: If athletes get athlete’s foot, what do candy makers get?
A: Tic tac toe

As someone that runs a soda fountain it seems like a legit concern for me.

Now that Halloween is over Shannon discovered that I swapped all the wrappers on her candy. She didn’t appreciate the joke at all. Now she’s got her Snickers in a Twix over it.

Apparently we’re going to be pretty busy this weekend for our LEGO competition. According to the elementary teacher that runs it, we’re going to have kids lined up for blocks. Ms Loshonkohl is looking forward to the chaos and joy that it will bring to our store this Saturday. It is intended for children ages K-5 and will take place at 11 AM. There is no entry fee, we provide the LEGOs, and there will be prizes for various categories.

We know Tuesday is a big day! It will be the final day of our Ice Cream Election. Be sure to vote for your favorite ice creams so we can serve them on Veteran’s Day.

I know a lot of people have been expressing concerns about politics recently. I have started explaining that when you look at the Greek root words that are used to make up the term politics, it only makes sense.

poly – means many
tick – a blood sucking parasite

I should probably share what else we have coming up in the not too distant future:

• Friday, November 1st, 6:00ish – 9ish, Board Game Night ~ This has long been a tradition to come in on a Friday and have fun playing games. We are starting a little early tonight for some people to play a game called Power Grid.
• Saturday, November 2nd, 11AM, LEGO Contest ~ Join us for an exciting LEGO Competition open to the public for kinds in Kindergarten through Fifth grade. There is no entry fee and there will be prizes for various age categories.
• Saturday, November 2nd, 1PM – 3PM, Tech Help ~ We are a handful of tech heads that like technology and would like to help you with your stuff. We can help with cell phone, tablet, and computer problems/questions. We can talk with you about the latest tech like streaming TV, home security, cyber security, etc. This is all done for free, you just need to come in and ask for help.
• Saturday, November 2nd, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bereans Group ~ This group, which is open to the public, we always discuss tough theological questions and rarely come to consensus. This time we are discussing, ‘When should we disobey the government?’.
• Tuesday, November 5th 24th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bible Study ~ We just finished the book of Lamentations and we are enjoying an evening of prayer for our elections and playing a game. Next week will be the beginning of a new series on the book of Revelation.
• Thursday, November 7th, 5:15PM – Book Club ~ Join us for our new Book Club. We will be discussing Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.
• Wednesday, November 20th,  5PM – 7PM, Sing ~ In a city of humanoid animals, a hustling theater impresario’s attempt to save his theater with a singing competition becomes grander than he anticipates even as its finalists find that their lives will never be the same.

Now for the part everyone always asks about, the actual food! We our serving a Loaded Hash Brown Potato Soup and Kielbasa sandwiches. Our specialty ice creams are Cookie Doughlicious and Pumpkin.

Thanks and God bless,

As everyone seems stressed out about the impending election, we thought we would try and offer up some new (and maybe better candidates). Introducing Lost and Found Pharmacy’s ice cream ballot. We encourage everyone to cross party lines and vote for one flavor belonging to each party.

The above polls will close on November 5th and final results will be readily viewable on the 6th.

Something other than elections that can also be potentially scary is Halloween. I recently learned that Jehovah’s witnesses don’t celebrate Halloween. Apparently they don’t like random people knocking on their doors.

I took a quiz to determine what my Halloween spirit is. Apparently, deep down inside, I’m a skeleton.

Last year for Halloween, I had a kid show up at my home without a costume but holding a sign that said, “I love ceilings.” I asked him what he was supposed to be. Apparently he was a ceiling fan.

I do want to remind everyone that we have a new LEGO competition coming up on the second of November. If you have any children or know some children that you could borrow stop in and enjoy the free LEGO contest. There are even prizes for various age groups.

Also, there has been a lot of interest in our new Book Club. They had their first meeting and chose a book titled, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. They will have their next meeting to discuss the book on the first Thursday in November.

Please note that the book club now meets on the first Thursday of every month.

Let’s talk about what else we have coming up in the not too distant future:

• Friday, October 4th, 6:30ish – 9ish, Board Game Night ~ This has long been a tradition to come in on a Friday and have fun playing games.
• Saturday, October 5th, 1PM – 3PM, Tech Help ~ We are a handful of tech heads that like technology and would like to help you with your stuff.

• Saturday, October 5th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bereans Group ~ This group, which is open to the public, we always discuss tough theological questions and rarely come to consensus. This time we are discussing, ‘How should Christians filter pop culture?’.
• Tuesday, October 8th 24th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bible Study ~ I wonder if our Tuesday night Bible study counts as a book club. Of course we’ve been stuck on the same book for about 16 years now. Currently we are studying Lamentations.
• Every Wednesday starting in September, 5:30PM – 7PM, Rings of Power – Season 2 ~ An epic drama set thousands of years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, following the rise and fall of kingdoms and the re-emergence of evil in Middle-earth. We will watch the entire second season which is just preparing to be released.

Not only did we have a great deal of winners with our basket raffle but we had a LEGO competition as well. The Following were the winners in each category including a shark teacher teaching a skeleton kid built by Marshal, a tricked out book bag along with a school locker full of hats built by Viara, and a mountain top school office built by Grace!

Marshal’s classroom being taught by a shark.

Viara’s super cool book bag, locker, and classroom.

Grace’s mountain top principal office.

Of course I’m always really careful after we have our LEGO competitions. One time I stepped on a metal LEGO and I was worried that I was going to contract Tetris.

I want to remind everyone that our new Book Club is having its first ever meeting this coming Thursday and that at the meeting the first book will be selected. The Book Club will regularly meet on the last Thursday of every month at 5PM.

I’ve been working on writing a book. I had my parents read the book I was writing. They said the main character wasn’t likeable.

It was an autobiography…

In truth I have been writing a web serial, it’s like writing a book but I post a chapter each week in rough draft form. Anyone that knows me shouldn’t be surprised to discover that it’s science fiction. It’s titled Gangsters and Aliens and so far I’ve posted the prologue and the first three chapters. Feel free to check it out on Royal Road, a popular site for hosting web serials.

Let’s talk about what else we have coming up in the not too distant future:

• Friday, September 20th, 6:30ish – 9ish, Board Game Night ~ This has long been a tradition to come in on a Friday and have fun playing games.
• Saturday, September 21st, 1PM – 3PM, Tech Help ~ We are a handful of tech heads that like technology and would like to help you with your stuff.

We can talk with you about the latest tech like streaming TV, home security, cyber security, etc. This is all done for free, you just need to come in and ask for help.
• Saturday, September 21st, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bereans Group ~ This group, which is open to the public, we always discuss tough theological questions and rarely come to consensus. This time we are discussing, ‘Trust Issues’.
• Tuesday, September 24th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bible Study ~ I wonder if our Tuesday night Bible study counts as a book club. Of course we’ve been stuck on the same book for about 16 years now. Currently we are studying Lamentations.
• Every Wednesday starting in September, 5:30PM – 7PM, Rings of Power – Season 2 ~ An epic drama set thousands of years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, following the rise and fall of kingdoms and the re-emergence of evil in Middle-earth.

At the moment it’s just a draft.

With that opening I want to let everyone know that we are starting a new Book Club in September. During the last Thursday of every month we will be meeting at 5 PM to discuss whatever book was chosen the previous month. Sue Loya will be leading this group and the first meeting will be to select a book for the group to read. Feel free to pop in a little early and grab a coffee.

I really do have a book I’m working on and I’ve recently decided to kill off some of characters in the book. It would definitely spice up my autobiography.

That reminds me about a mortician I knew that got in trouble for a raffle he was doing. Apparently it was a dead giveaway!

That’s the best I’ve got for transitioning into a discussion about our raffle at Lost and Found Pharmacy. We have our raffle basket fundraiser well under way with 48 different baskets you can try and win. Actually, our big prize is a basket with two tickets for the Steeler’s vs Giants game on October 28th. To add extra excitement for that basket there is a second and third place basket to be drawn as well. If you check out the slider below, you can see lots of great options.

As the school year has started back up, I want to remind everyone that next month we have a Back to School themed LEGO Competition on Saturday, September 7th at 11AM.

With all the kids back in school now it reminds me of one of my old teachers that had a lazy eye. She had a hard time controlling her pupils.

I should probably talk about what  else we have coming up in the not too distant future:

• Friday, August 23rd, 6:30ish – 9ish, Board Game Night ~ This has long been a tradition to come in on a Friday and have fun playing games.
• Saturday, August 24th, 1PM – 3PM, Tech Help ~ We are a handful of tech heads that like technology and would like to help you with your stuff. We can help with cell phone, tablet, and computer problems/questions. We can talk with you about the latest tech like streaming TV, home security, cyber security, etc. This is all done for free, you just need to come in and ask for help.
• Saturday, August 24th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bereans Group ~ This group, which is open to the public, we always discuss tough theological questions and rarely come to consensus. This time we are discussing, ‘Heretics in the pulpit!’
• Tuesday, August 28th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bible Study ~ We just finished studying Second Corinthians and this week we will be enjoying a social night prior to starting a study of Lamentations in September.
• Every Wednesday in August, 5PM – 7PM, Rings of Power – Season 1 ~ An epic drama set thousands of years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, following the rise and fall of kingdoms and the re-emergence of evil in Middle-earth. We will watch the entire first season prior to the release of season 2 on August 29th.
• Monday, September 2nd – Labor Day ~ We will be having our final cookout of the year and drawing the tickets for the raffle baskets at 4PM.
• Saturday, September 7th, 11AM – LEGO Competition ~ Our back to school edition of our LEGO competition. Free entry for all children in K-6 and prizes for various age categories.

Now for the part everyone always asks about, the actual food! This is the last chance for our very popular white chicken chili and Reuben sandwich. Both will be changing soon. Our specialty ice creams are Peach and Better Brownie Batter.

Thanks and God bless,

On the 17th of August we are going to have our Fifth Annual Craft Show, kick off our big end of Summer Raffle Basked fundraiser, and for the first time ever we’ll have live Bagpipe music.

Bagpipe music reminds me of a story about three British spies that were caught by the Nazis during World War II. One was an Irishman, another was a Scotsman, and the last was an Englishman. The Nazis asked if they had any last wishes before they were executed.

The Irishman says “I want the Irish national anthem to be played before I die”

The Scottish man says “I want the Scottish anthem to be played on bagpipes before I die”

The Englishman, with great fervor, says “I wanna die first”.

Believe it or not, I actually really enjoy bagpipe music and Karen Humphrey will be outside performing at 11:30. Hopefully Karen will remember that you should never run with bagpipes. After all, you could put your aye out or worse yet, get kilt.

We will also be grilling delicious foods on our grills including my nearly famous hamburgers. There was a situation that took place last time we had a cook out that managed to surprise even me. A couple placed an order for a bag of chips, a hamburger and a fountain drink. The husband carefully cut the hamburger in half, placing one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted out the chips, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.

As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering. Obviously, they were thinking, “That poor old couple…all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.”

As the man began to eat his chips, a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple.

The old man said, they were just fine, they were used to sharing everything.

People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.

Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them.

This time the old woman said, “No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.”

Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked, “What is it you are waiting for?”

She answered, “THE TEETH!”

If you want to sign up for our annual Craft Show taking place on August 17th from 9 AM to 2 PM, you can do so either using this form, or by stopping in at our store.

Q: If Frodo was elected President, what would Gandalf be?
A: His Chief of Staff.

Gandalf always reminds me of a conversation I used to have with one of my students in pharmacy law that refused to do his homework.

Student: How are my grades looking?
Me: You shall not pass.

Years ago I was obsessed with The Lord of The Rings. It took me a long time to kick the Hobbit.

As we are getting ready to show Season 1 of The Rings of Power at our store, I’ve been reflecting back on The Lord of The Rings movies. I think I finally understand the ending. All those names are the people that worked on the film.

I did come across a great music video from back in the 60s of Leonard Nimoy singing about Bilbo Baggins.

Better yet is when the crew of the Enterprise receives this transmission.

If you have ever watched Star Trek, you really should check out both of those videos.

Every Summer we have a craft show and raffle to raise money for our patient care fund. This is always a big event for us as lots of individuals and businesses donate baskets specifically to help our patient care fund. The day of the craft show will be extra special this year as we’ll have food on the grill and live music. Please be sure to come in and check out our raffle when it launches on August 17th during our Fifth Annual Craft Show and come in for the drawing on Labor Day. Have a craft you want to sell? Get a table for just $25 (which goes to support our patient care fund).

You can sign up for the craft show on line or in store.

We already have some great crafters lined up including lathed pens, a make and take jewelry table, 3D printed toys and gifts, and more. We even have one crafter that only wants to make tiny Jesus figurines. Apparently he only want to make a small prophet.

Of course there is another crafter coming that intends to make the dwarves from Snow White. Apparently he’s confident that he can make seven figures.

Organizing this craft show this year reminds me of the time I had the really unusual opportunity to organize Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s craft room. Unfortunately, I lost his scrapbook cutting tool. That’s right, I lost the Rock’s paper scissors. Hopefully I will still be able to find my scissors when this craft show is done.

I also want to encourage others to help us get some great baskets together for our raffle. There is going to be a basket with Steeler’s tickets, another with a whole bunch of 3D printed mystery gifts, a beautiful rocking chair with a hand made star blanket, and more. We would appreciate anything that people would consider making and dropping off at Lost and Found between August 10th and 17th. All proceeds from the raffle will go to the patient care fund. The raffle will begin selling tickets on August 17th and the drawing will be held on Labor Day, September 2nd at 4PM.

The tickets will be priced as follow:

1 ticket for $1
7 tickets for $5
16 tickets for $10
40 tickets for $20

All of them, technically.

A mythical horse could be a unicorn or a even a pegasus…but what do you call a mythical cow?
Legendairy.

So this week’s topic is focused on mythical creatures, but after noticing a hand written note in the margins of Genesis chapter 8, I’m not quite so sure if the unicorn is mythical. The following is what I noticed:

Noah’s diary : Day 39.
Unicorn pie is delicious!

Some people, when they read my newsletters, worry that there is something wrong with me. With so many people expressing so much concern, I was worried that I was going insane…
…until the the leprechaun and the tooth fairy told me I was just fine.

I feel much better now.

I should talk about some of the things we have coming up in the not too distant future:

• Wednesday, July 17th, 5PM – 7PM, How to Train Your Dragon ~ A hapless young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself, and learns there may be more to the creatures than he assumed. I was going to include a really long joke about a mythical fire breathing animal at this point, but it’d drag on.

We’ll also have some fun related toys at the store.

• Saturday, July 20th, 1PM – 3PM, Tech Help ~ We are a handful of tech heads that like technology and would like to help you with your stuff.

• Every Wednesday in August, 5PM – 7PM, Rings of Power – Season 1 ~ An epic drama set thousands of years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, following the rise and fall of kingdoms and the re-emergence of evil in Middle-earth.
