That's because it's not really only one fruitcake making the rounds! There are three fruitcakes made each year. They join the dozen or so which travel the world, bringing happiness to all. Each year, those strange creatures who believe fruitcake to be edible eat three older fruitcakes. Therefore, the dozen fruitcakes in circulation are all relatively fresh. Be careful though: you never know when it's your turn to be eaten!)

okay, guys---Who among us is willing to go on Oprah to promote lump basket orders and the lumptonian cause? rest (no pun intended) assured that NO ONE will be required to rise from his/her couch, fly to chicago, etc. oprah's staff will film all guests "at home" --only thing is, any guest must have sufficient aisle space for oprah staff to come in door, and a little space in which to film
would be nice. that leaves me out. maybe we can get dr. bob to be on show cuz he's already in chicago --sort of explain the thing, and hand out the seroquel/depakote mulled wine to the studio audience? (no professional slander/libel/alleged malpractice intended, dr. bob - the ama etc. will close its eyes in view of the necessity of supporting the lumpland cause. an oprah freak i know told me that when martha stewart was on the show last week that she didn't mention anything about decorating your prison cell with "special for x-mas" meth recipes? there is a such thing as equal time, you know.
any volunteers???caroline h.
