Hopefully your stoned dates haven’t sent you round in circles GM?!
Did you read about those stoned kangaroos making crop circles in poppy fields?
No ’stoned’ dates or kangaroos over here, but there was a rather strange mole in our park last week, creating his/her molehills in a perfect little (crop) circle. (Probably swallowed a stone too many…!).
I buy mine unstoned, GM as I find the destoning messy and it gets under my fingernails and being the perfectionist I am (ha!) that makes for a messy kind of day.

What are these odd references to stoned dates? I suspect an innuendo…
Loved the story about the opium eaters in Tamania!
We used to have stoned raisins when I was kid…they had the grape pips still in them. I could never get my head aground the fact that with stoned dates it was the other way around. smashed a tooth on a stoen in a bag of stoned dates a few years back…
Talking of raisins…father cam home once with a couple of cock pheasant …. not a brace note… he swore to me that he had caught them with raisins soaked in rum! Must try that one day!

I think they’ll go great with the stoned wheat crackers I’ve been buying. Woo hoo! ;^D

@Geri - Good to have you back with us again. You were missed.
I spend most of my life going round in circles - it saves backtracking!
@stwidgie - I rediscovered dates in the last few years and now eat them everyday.

You are a treat. Come over. Plenty of unstoned dates here! They will all line up for the privilege!

So having stoned dates is good for the digestion, huh? I wonder what being a stoned date might be good for.

@Ramana - With my hip? Alas the walk is far to long.
@Darlene - Do you think I should get stoned to find out?

@Baino - I will be a hippy hopper soon enough!
@WWW - I hate having to remove the stones so that is why I get these ones without them.
@Primal - I hope it works!
