Telling trumpers to quit doughnuts is like telling them to quit their fixation on male genitalia. Ain't going to happen.

Hmmm

I haven't had a doughnut in years. But your mention of that reminds me of my childhood paper route in Montclair that ended at Colonial Donuts on Sunday mornings.

I could really go for a couple old fashioned glazed and a bag of a dozen donut holes right now.
For old times sake.

Concord has a Dunkin' donuts on Clayton near the Ace Hardware store

The 1st Dunkin' Donuts to open in the Bay Area is at the base of Newell Hill in the W.C.

Small world. My Sunday paper route ended at the Colonial Donuts on Lakeshore Ave. Well, except for the time I kicked a can and woke up a napping cop in the bank parking lot at 5:30 AM. He read me the riot act and told me to go home NOW.

I miss Colonial Donuts too, though from their website, it appears things have changed a fair amount since the 1970s.

I think Colonial Donuts still seems like it is from the 60-70s. Still a great place (both locations)

Dunking Donuts is terrible. None of the donut chains are as good as the family run donut shops in California. Avoid the chains if you don't want to ruin California donuts. Great documentary about California donut shops called The Donut King.

Every Saturday 6am at Chick's in Concord, concordtom. My treat. You'll get to talk with some Republicans...and me. Two are nice lawyers. The other, a trucking broker that you may end up in the parking lot with. Donuts and a fist fight, good times.

I don't like Dunkin.
My in-laws are from RI and I always thought their donuts were ****ty.

I've been er noticed that.
Ace, Foster Freeze, Foodmax and O'Reilly auto parts. And chick fillet, which I never eat at. Nor the food max store.

It's got a large seating area and serves a lot of breakfast options. Not just a donut store. I can't comment on the breakfasts. I've only had the coffee, donuts and talk about why I should vote for Trump. Luckily, they don't talk too much politics unless I bring it up.

We used to talk with a black lady cop on some of those Sunday mornings. Then I saw her on the news - she had tried to stop a robbery or something and was shot in the arm. She said next time she'd not intervene, wasn't worth it.
I was 12. So sad. She was so nice. It was like Mr Rogers level innocence got blown up with that news clip. I think for her, too. Serving the community was suddenly OUT for her.

I was like "Mom, I know her!!"

Maybe we can get them to open one in concord. Are they up for franchising?

Why would you be up and out at 6am???

I have two friends across from me at my concord house who are just brainwashed with the craziest stuff, it makes no sense to me. They will tell me the election was stolen - "everyone knows" - and yet there is no factual basis for it.
But I still like them.
It's best to avoid any discussion of the topic.

I don't believe this country can remain a Great nation if we are living with alternate realities. This is why I would do something to ban lying networks at the FCC level. Just like posting racial stuff is a Hate Crime, posting or broadcasting provable lies, or stating them as a candidate to a crowd, these things should be lies.

I dunno how to merge this with Free Speech, but Germany has laws against Naziism. They shut down the Holocaust deniers, no?

I probably overstated the political talk. I just like talking with my friends. I get up early because of seizure meds. I make up for it with early bike rides and naps. I balance the bit of Rep talk with Dem talk on Tuesday with my best friend from my work days. I don't let their political opinions cloud my views of them. By talking with folks I've come to realize how differently people see the world. Helps a lot with wives and adult children.

Do you know anything about JME?
My nephew has recently been diagnosed. And he's heading to college in 2 weeks, yikes.
He just had another seizure because he missed his morning meds. We are beginning to understand the severity of this situation. Alcohol and not getting enough sleep will F him up.

Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) is a type of epilepsy that typically begins in adolescence and is indeed often linked to genetic factors.

I don't. They never did give me much information about why I had some small seizures and then one, big, immediate blackout one. Thankfully they are all completely controlled by a pretty large dose of two meds. When I mentioned my sleep problems my neurologist said we could try backing off the meds. But then no driving, no biking, no power tools, etc. I declined. I know the dangers of sleep problems but I was losing my mind having to depend on my wife to do everything not to mention her worrying and literally overseeing everything I did because she was worried I'd blackout. I can't go back to that. So I nap. A lot. But I can drive, bike, use tools and when I start to feel tired I rest. It could be worse. About alcohol...I've had a few drinks once the seizures have been controlled without any problems. I wish your nephew the best. Had I gone through this as a young man it would have been hell. Your brain is literally a tough nut to crack. So many confounding variables. I'm very lucky.
How's your nephew's memory? Mine, it appears, is gone from a few years ago until the seizures were controlled (two April's ago). The doctors tell me they won't come back because the seizures prevented them from being 'recorded'. Thank 'god' for FB pictures and posts and my wife. I have a spotty memory anyway so I don't get upset about this.
Tell your nephew to set a daily alarm on his phone so he takes his meds. My wife convinced me to do this and now I never miss or take them late. I don't think I ever had an issue being late but it sounds like your nephew's case is more serious than mine. My sister started having seizures a number of years ago and can't get her license back because she refuses to take enough of the drugs to completely control them. She sort of a naturalist.
Good luck to your nephew and your family.
