THE PAIN IS STARTING TO GO AWAY

Well the pain from having my tooth pulled on Tuesday is starting to subside, it's not a constant pain anymore. The area is still very sore but it doesn't hurt no where as much as it did yesterday. I still can do a whole of chewing when eating so I am trying to stay with some pretty soft foods still. Hopefully in a couple more days I will be able to eat what I want to again. The CH boys and girls basketball teams will both be in action tonight, the girls team is home against Dinwiddie while boys team travels to Richmond to play the Maggie Walker Governors School. I have started to wrap all my Christmas presents that I have, I have a few more on the way but I have done all the shopping that I am going to d for the most part. MICKEY

Nacho Cheese Doritos. Whenever you’re eating something that contains a color that doesn’t occur in nature, it might be time to reconsider what you’re stuffing in your mouth. That said, Nacho Cheese Flavored Doritos were one of our favorite college staples and we still have a soft spot in our heart for this tasty day-glo orange triangles. There are entire fan groups online devoted to these little buggers and far be it from us to discourage anyone. But the reason they made it to our list is the funky smelling, crusty orange coating that they leave on your fingertips (courtesy of artificial colors Yellow 6, Yellow 5 and Red 40). Nasty!
