==================
 RH> No, it has the opposite effect--aches and pains and eating hurts.

Ah, too bad. I'm getting something resembling TMJ - the stresses
are compounding - my friends are getting old and sick, and I
worry about the ones in the Middle East and Japan. This last week
it's gotten extra troublesome, and even though the people I know
in north Japan have all checked in safe and sound, that was a
terrible time (and will be for a long while).

 RH> I've heard of places on the internet where you can get the old
 RH> candies, gums, etc but not pursued any ordering. The Vermont Country
 RH> Store sounds interesting but I've yet to check them out either. Do you

The real store also has closeouts and other short runs. When I
visited maybe five years ago I was rather overwhelmed by the
selection.

 RH> remember Fruit Stripe and the Adams sour flavored gums?

I do. Not a great fan, though. I preferred sweeter gums in my
young days - loved Wrigley's spearmint, for example.

 RH> I imagine that would have put a good scare in you. We've eaten more
 RH> beets since moving up here (getting them at the farmer's market) than
 RH> we have in years. Usually I roast them.

I remember a Doonesbury book entitled "We're Eating More Beets!"
