Lollipops, Lily Pads, and Laxatives — My Alphabe-Thursday — "L" — Things in a Row — Two Questions — MidWeek Blues

.
"L" is for LolliPops, Lily Pads, and Laxative Pills and Potients.
.

   

Things I didn't get a picture of?   KP with her Lollipop.
When I went to the bank, at the drive in window, the teller there offered and gave KP a Lollipop. KP was very proud of that Lollipop.
The large 'all day sucker' type Lollipops on the stand were at the Dilan's Candy Bar
candy shop in the Galleria Mall in Houston.  KP wasn't there, neither was Mrs. Jim or Karen, so I came out of that store with only the pictures.  No candy.
.
I took the pillar sales pole picture for Pat of Thursday's Things in a Row as well as being an "L" word, but she is out this Thursday on holiday.

.
Things I didn't get a picture of? KP feeding the fishes, turtles, and ducks.

.

We went to the 'park.'  KP loves to go to the park.  To her that means a playground park.  Our park has a little playground that passes her test. 

.

I did get this nice picture of the Lily pad in the park.  That is what we call them, Mrs. Jim and I, with the flower being a water Lily.  Technically they are Yellow Water Lily, Mexican Water Lily, or Nymphaea Mexicana.
.
Another picture I didn't get?  Yes, there was (not) one.  A couple of weeks ago when I was playing golf with the guys, my ball went in a little pond.  And guess what?  My ball was sitting on a large floating Lily pad. 
.
But no picture, my camera was in the golf cart over on the cart path.  [In the pictures below, note the pond's water in the little half moon window.]

.
"L" is for Laxative. For my semi-annual cardio checkup yesterday I had to give a blood sample, take a stress test while waking and running on the treadmill, and have my body's arteries checked by sonogram. 

.

I passed all three tests but not exactly with a perfect score. But pretty good considering. The Laxative? It went along with no food after midnight, etc, parts.

— My Two Questions for this week (you can answer just one if you wish):
..
1. What is your Lollipop story?  Everyone has one.

2. What is your Lily pad tale?

Bonus Question: Rumored possible government regulation of Laxatives, what would be any possible benefit of that be to you?
