30 Days of Photographs II - Tragedy

This challenge brought to you by Ziva and Mike poses a theme for each day of the month. 

While my photos barely touch the theme, please check out the other rule-abiding participants!!!








Tragedy


An empty box of Peeps may not fit the theme for some people, but it is likely to send me right over the edge. You have to remember that you are dealing with a woman whose whole house was destroyed in a few hours. To some people getting a scratch on the wall is enough to cause a mild aneurysm. For me, I've seen worse. So laugh with me on this one, and send me some more damn Peeps.

    1. Peeps are perfection as long as they are yellow and shaped like chicks.

  7. I've got 2 boxes that are almost exactly a year old. I'm giving them to my aunt in May. Hard as rocks, just the way she likes them. If it weren't for her, I'd send them along. If this was an empty box of chocolate eggs, I'd be floating in my own sea of tears.

  8. Um, what are Peeps? It sounds vaguely pornographic to me.

    1. They are like heaven in your mouth ( not in a porn sense)- soft marshmallow covered in sugar!

    2. Thanks for clarifying that you didn't mean heaven in your mouth in a porn sense. Because that's exactly what leapt to mind for all of us.

    1. Stephen, say it isn't so! Please tell me that you haven't lived your life without Peeps!

  11. I've read of others who have gone through this very type of tragedy. It's one of those things you think happen to "other people" and never to someone you know. I am so sorry and my thoughts are with you during this terrible time.

    1. Almost rates right up there with my house fire, doesn't it...Thank you for your support.

  12. I can't stand peeps myself, but I do like toasted marshmallows and chocolate-covered marshmallows and marshmallow creme on a ice-cream Sunday.

    So basically, I'm saying I don't understand this photo, or why I don't like peeps. In fact, I just sort of generally confused about everything.

    1. You aren't confused - just peep deprived. It takes a toll on all of us. I thought about eating peeps on ice cream the other night - still trying to eat the last of the 25 million gallons in the freezer. Peep ice cream, hmmm. If I hadn't just forced down matzo with Maniscevitz, I'd probably have some.

  13. This.

    Is epicly tragic.

    And the thought that Peep season will be over in only a few short days.

    1. It is a sorry sight. I hadn't thought about the end of this years peeps - now I am more depressed.

  14. I agree that this denotes tragic, but I hate Peeps!

    1. How can you hate them - they are cute and full of sugar!?! Are you really a "hater" - you seem so nice.

  15. I love Peeps! Unfortunately, Mrs. Penwassewr abhors (my fancy word of the day) them-thus is my tragedy. As for me, I delight in the crunch crunch crunch of the little sugar crystals in my teeth. She likes chocolates though. No crunch, but chocolate's good to go.

  16. Do you stock up to last you the rest of the year?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Here is the real question. Do you like your peeps better fresh or stale?

  18. While I am not a Peeps person myself, I once almost had a all-out throw down with a woman who ate my jar of Nutella, so I can relate with the tragic sense of loss!

    The empty Peeps cartons say it all :-)

  19. Never had Peeps..yet. A kind friend is sending me some and providing they let them in to the country, I will finally find out what the fuss is about.
    I hope you get some more
