Geriatric Anagrams, 2


       Connie offered me the bag of remaining M&Ms from our movie a few days ago.  I took a couple, then refused more, said, "I shouldn't; both chocolate and peanuts are not recommended if you've had..."

       I paused because I was experiencing trouble recalling the word for my problem.  It's a stymie like the one I referred to as Geriatric Anagrams in my Tuesday, July 30, 2013 post.

       The word I came up with was "Kennedys."  "Not recommended if you've had Kennedys."  You know that it's the wrong word, but it's on the way to the right one.  So you say it, "Kennedys."  And then it comes.

       "Kidney stones."

        But you've found the word(s)!
