DONALDBURGER & Granny's Teeth; Ocean Park-WA


We've been here, in Ocean Park-WA, since April: every time we drive past Doc's … [The Donaldburger] beckons; I didn't know if patriotism was running high … or if the burgers were extra "man-sized" thick. I was curious 🤔

So, today, we stopped in and found out.

I was hoping my husband would be sinking his teeth into a big, fat, juicy, man-sized patty:

Doc's from RV Park; 2 min (0.6 mi) via 261st Pl Bay Ave, Ocean Park-WA
Going in … #1414 Bay Ave, Ocean Park, WA
The interior was clean & well lighted. There are several pool tables inside; very roomy interior.

THE HAMBURGER WAS AWFUL! 😒🤦🏻‍♀️

It was basically a spin-off of a mcdonald's burger; made in a countertop oven 😳

The patty was of the mcdonald's cardboard-"burger" variety, and the whole thing was so sloppy the bun fell apart under the "juicy" attack; while the hamburger slid all over the place. Eating it was tricky - Holland gave up after 3 biting attempts: my chasing the patty lasted a little longer, but eventually I gave up, too. I don't like mcdonald's food - and this was even worse 😑

We trashed the mess and decided to drive into Long Beach, to The Corral, for a takeout meal - we know the food there is worth the $$, and will be satisfying 😊👌

We drove to The Corral & got Prawn Baskets for Supper.

Today is Gorgeous Grandma Day, and even though I didn't hear a single word, get a text or a call, from any of my grandchildren my husband showered me with attention, love, and genuine affection 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

Later, I went online to check my PM's, and saw that the zuckerberg's internet sharks 🤪 were trying to sink their teeth into my private posts.

A.g.a.i.n.: some people just never learn 🙄

FB's "Supreme Court" European Tribunal, tried to cow me with UN tactics …
I fired off a rebuttal - a 3rd world country does NOT run me = they do not run American freedoms.

So, this gorgeous granny had to bite back - with a hard rebuke and an insistent, "There's nothing false about my Post; remove the flag and put it back the way you found it" 😤

No one is going to slip a choke collar on me 😡

No one is going to force me to "obey!" their 1-sided demands.

I got an immediate response …
Don't mess with Granny; she'll show her teeth, and land one across your chops.

This "gorgeous granny" (today is International Gorgeous Granny Day) has teeth rooted in her gums and isn't afraid to use them 😉

People - especially uninvited strangers - stalking my personal spaces & trolling my private posts, deserve what they find; & what they stir up.

GORGEOUS GRANDMA DAY~2025; Ocean Park-WA


Don't know how today will unfold, but the gray clouds are lifting … and THAT is a big PLUS 😁👏


Blue skies! We have almost forgotten what they look like 😉



A little joy-juice motivation to get the locomotion in action 😉

WILLAPA DENTAL; Ocean Park-WA

Willapa Dental; #205 12th St S, Long Beach, WA

Last night I went to bed sneezing, with a runny nose.

This morning I woke up sneezing, with a runny nose.

I had a dentist appointment scheduled for 3:30 this afternoon … sneezing, with a runny nose is not a good thing to be experiencing on any day: especially on dentist day 😒

So, I put out an S,O,S, post to my praying friends on FB:

We drank our morning coffees; and waited the countdown to appointment arrival. While we waited, I did some internet scrolling.

Two titles caught my attention …

😞

RIP OZ ✌️

I first heard Black Sabbath tunes at my friend Kay Wirkkala Holland's house, when we were teens. I believe the vinyl LP belonged to her older sister, Vicky. I was hooked 👍

Poor Bob, my 1st husband. Every morning while making his lunch for work, I would slip Black Sabbath on, on my stereo system at full blast to wake me up to function: I was a new 17-year old Bride, who was waking up to make a 3 AM work lunch … and wake fully up before school started; my husband insisted I graduate 🤨 That was the deal he made with my stepfather before we married.

Black Sabbath at 3 AM didn't last long: Bob hated it. He never "came around" to appreciate heavy metal 😉

But, periodically, I still like to crank it up when it comes over the airwaves. And my new husband, Holland … who actually listens to some heavy metal bands … doesn't appreciate the great OZ, either: I really do not understand the men in my life, who do not appreciate what I find interesting 😂🤣

R.I.P. OZ - you really did put out some good tunes to ease the crazy train ride of Life. Your theme-centered music paved the way for lesser bands, with nonessential messages.

Iron Man is my all time favorite … and my ears can recognize it on the wind from blocks away. Then Paranoid & War Pigs.

As the scheduled appointment time drew nearer, we both shut down our laptops and climbed onto Betsy's cab. Holland said, "I'll find some Black Sabbath tunes for you", and started searching his phone for playlists that feature old-school music. Holland can't stand OZ. I appreciated his offer, but I stayed his roaming fingers, "It's okay Babe. If I want to listen to some older stuff, I'll do it later on tonight - I appreciate the offer, but you don't have to torture yourself on my behalf."

And we were off, with a visible sigh of relief 😉

Holland had earlier been notified that a package was waiting for us at the Park Office, so we stopped by there first, to retrieve it: it was the heater Holland recently ordered - and he was happy it arrived so soon.

Holland waited for me in the Willapa Dental parking lot, making phone calls and listening to his music while my back tooth was tended to.

The staff was friendly. The dentist was personable, attentive, worked with me, informed me of procedures the entire time … and had gentle hands that fits comfortably in my mouth, so I didn't have to unhinge my jaw for his working ease. When he commented, "You have a little mouth", I almost laughed out loud - thinking, "my husband would not agree with you" 😂🤣

If I need dental work again, it is good to know there is a good dentist closer than 2 hours away.

When we got back home, the gray skies had been replaced with a cloudless blue expanse: it was a welcome change.

Holland got the heater put together; and ate a couple fried bacon sandwiches.

I prepared my usual protein drink & ramen supper fare … and also did a couple muscle toning exercises:

Daily Meal until Wednesday evening, a protein drink … halved with water, between 2 bottles; & Ramen Noodles with veggies.

Tonight, with the radiator heater set up and quietly humming, the back end of the house will be as warm and comfortable as the living quarters 👍

The 'For you, Baby' radiator heater arrived this afternoon.

I appreciate the extra things my husband does to make my life comfortable - he is a good man. And someday, he'll stop working so hard to be a macho man with an attitude ❤️
