He asked to use the bathroom and blew his brains out. Quite a business...he had a lot of family members working for him, and a lot of neighborhood residents had jobs because of him. And yes, I also thought it was a sad story.

I guess the grapefruit, Manhattan and sundae market wasn't what it used to be, because he developed a sideline: growing and selling marijuana in a secret part of his plant.<br /><br />Poor man, he shot himself to death after getting busted. Later, prosecutors said that as a first offender, he probably wouldn't even have gotten jail time.Bitter Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645909858616987997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-40914274617028572752018-06-24T15:04:38.028-05:002018-06-24T15:04:38.028-05:00Grizz--You must be taking cholesterol-reducing med...Grizz--You must be taking cholesterol-reducing medication, like me.

By then, paper cups were the norm. Sadly, Northeast Ohio lost all its White Castles several Christmas Eves ago. Frozen sliders are just not the same. <br /><br />Looking at that grapefruit image is tough. I was warned that grapefruit and grapefruit juice would cancel out the benefits of certain prescription meds, so both are now off the table, quite literally. Oh, how I miss them.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.com
