What is the best present for Christmas?

An aorta……because it comes from the heart!

Believe it or not, I’ve really been struggling with insomnia recently. On the bright side though, it’s only three more wake-ups till Christmas.

It’s that time of year where I need to harass you with all my best/worse Christmas jokes. So here it goes…

Q. Why was the woman offended by the snowman in the produce section?

A. She caught him picking his nose!

Q. What do you call a snowman with a six-pack?

A. The abdominal snowman.

Q. What do you call an old snowman?

A. Water.

That last joke reminds of…well…another joke.

Q. How to get out of buying your kids Christmas presents

A. Explain to them that, due to Global Warming, the North Pole melted and that Santa and the Reindeer drowned.

The third Wednesday of every month is movie night. In January we are watching a great film titled Hidden Figures.

Hidden Figures is the story of three black women that had to overcome a lot of challenges to help NASA during the space race.

Talking about movies, does make me questions which is the greatest Christmas movie. I know some say it’s the Charlie Brown Christmas Movie, and others Rudolph or The Grinch. However, Die Hard has the best ending for a Christmas movie…
Hans down.

Now to move on to what else we have coming up in the not too distant future:

A. Because the turkey could be dressing!

I used to teach math. One year around Thanksgiving I told my class, “I think my favorite Thanksgiving food is Pi, but some people say that’s irrational.”

Yeah they groaned over that joke as well.

I am excited though, this is the first year ever that I shot my own turkey! However, the other people at the grocery store seemed pretty upset with me.

Just so you know in advance, I’ve already decided that I’m not going to spend days eating Thanksgiving leftovers. That’s right I’m quitting cold Turkey.

I know millions of people will be celebrating Thanksgiving next week, however some indigenous people might have reservations. Before that day arrives you need to ask my wife to sing my favorite Thanksgiving song. It’s probably more of a turkey dirge that I’m convinced her family made up decades ago. The lyrics are as follows:

A turkey sat on a barnyard fence and he sang this sad sad t-u-u-u-ne, Thanksgiving is coming gobble gobble gobble gobble and I know I’ll be eaten soooon! Gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble. Thanksgiving is coming gobble gobble gobble gobble and I want to run awa-a-ay. Gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble I don’t like Thanksgiving Day-ay-ay!

I should probably take a moment and mention some of the things we have coming up in the not too distant future including Small Business Saturday, and Giving Tuesday:

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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

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.

• Tuesday, September 3rd, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bible Study ~ We are starting a study of Lamentations this week.
• 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.

• 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.
• Thursday, September 26th, 5PM – Book Club ~ Join us for our first ever Book Club meeting. We will look at some options for various books as we kick off our newest club.

Now for the part everyone always asks about, the actual food! We have just started serving our Lasagna Soup and this is your last chance for awhile to enjoy a Reuben sandwich before we switch to a Monte Cristo Sandwich. Our specialty ice creams are Peach and Better Brownie Batter but they will both be changing soon to Blueberry Cheesecake and Brown Butter Bourbon Truffle.

Thanks and God bless,

Q: What do the New York Giants and a Chick-Fil-A manager have in common?
A: Neither one shows up for work on Sunday.

So 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, which is a lot better than the last time I won a basket at a basket raffle. It was a raffle for a lifetime supply of marmite. I still have most of that one jar 12 years later.

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.

We can help with cell phone, tablet, and computer problems/questions.

• 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!’

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.
