However 'healthy cereal' is an oxymoron. Pass. Lost those last 10 nasty gut pounds, that weren't coming off even running 5 miles a day, when I cut out oatmeal. If I'm hungry before lunch to begin with, it's raw fruits/vegetables only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricksneatstuff Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Love Calvin and Hobbes I have one book signed by him from the Fireside Bookstore in Chagrin Falls, which I go to from time to time, ever watchful for a glimpse of the elusive one. I also have this signed sketch in his Tenth Anniversary book that he gave to his dental hygienist, if I recall correctly. grapeape, alxjhnsn, mustang33guy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
