If it did I'd want the name of the man who crafted them!!

I live in hope that hubby will actually think of doing the shopping once in a while...

I could handle a secret admirer who randomly brought food.

Better than mice who steal it!!

no, no mice. I do have a mighty hunter who could help with that though

It's a plot.

An evil plot.

On the subject of yumminess, my kid ate one of my Snickers tonight. Did she get one of her own? No. She ate one of mine. *humph* :-) Okay, she didn't realize I'd already packed up half of them for her to take to school to put in her locker (they were on sale at the store and far cheaper than the vending machines).

children are evil *nods*

ooh, snickers. *sighs*

She's only sometimes evil. Most of the time she's cool.

Except when she's not.

She's currently researching colleges in cool places. She's got 3.5 more years to decide. :-)

when snitching your chocolate they are evil.

College *shudders* If she's in 9th grade it's more like 2.5 years because you have to visit the schools and apply and take the tests and all that.

Yep, 9th grade. True, a lot of it starts earlier than that. I doubt we'll be making many site visits, simply because we can't afford it, but we'll go where we can.

you can tell a lot by the material the college sends and what's online and all that. it'll be FINE

I'm not going to sweat it. She has a multi-class project every year relating to investigating colleges. She's having fun with it and plans to pull out the materials from time to time and run another school through the process. I told her I'd happily help her create a database for her information (I like doing that stuff ;-).

Some years, her school has a 100% 'go to college' rate among its graduates. They've got this down to a science.

wow, that's great- the school'll be such an excellent resource then!

YES! Because I'm not. :-) I'm first generation college in my family and had to figure it all out for myself. What that meant was I went to the local state school. ;-) I don't want her to do that out of ignorance. If it turns out to be the best school for what she wants to do, great. But I want her to set her sights higher and see what she finds.

you are a GOOD mom!

I try.

Now, if I could only afford to *pay* for it. But that's why I ride her about her grades. :-)

ah yes, that whole paying thing. That's why I had gone to work in the first place, of course with the market the way it is I've lost all the money I put away over the past two years (more than, actually) *SIGH*

I refuse to invest in the stock market. The so-called "ownership society" touted by Reagan (I think his admin coined that one, or the term may have happened during Bush I) is nothing but a con-game intended to get ordinary people so financially dependent on corporations that we'll do whatever it takes to keep them going (bail out anyone?).

Pissed off? Me? :-)

Pissed off? You? Nope. Not at all.

LOL!!!!

I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!

:-)

just, no hail of bullets please. Even if that's later in the movie

No, I think I'll pass on the hail of bullets.

Wouldn't say no to a hail of chocolate, but I don't think that would be practical.

someone could toss a handfull or two of hershey kisses my way- I wouldn't say no to that

*mmmmmmmmmm*!

although none of those freaky flavored ones- no candy corn or cherry cordial or cookies'n'creme- thank you very much

But the dark chocolate ones are very nice, indeed. :-)

as are the peanut butter and caramel. But pumpkin is scarier then hell

That's just sick. :-)

Boss kept a jar of hershey kisses in the office. At first there were just the normal ones- chocolate, dark chocolate, then peanut butter and/or caramel too... but before I left there would be 8 or 10 different flavors. many were terribly scary

*shudder*

the worst was when two would have similar wrappings so you'd think you were getting the caramel, but it was really a pumpkin. That's a mistake you only make once before you learn to be very careful before shoving a chocolate in the mouth

LOL!!

*waves magic wand*

Better?

if only it really worked that way. :-)

What I always think is completely unfair is that, the more work you do to produce yummy food, like cooking dinner totally from scratch with only fresh stuff, the more cleaning up you have to do afterwards (while sending out for pizza produces no dishes at all). There should so totally be some sort of balancing system where the work put into the food gets you a moral credit chip that equals *less* cleaning.

Yes! That is totally unfair. You can go to the store and buy a pack of cookies but make them from scratch and there are bowls and flour everywhere and cookie sheets and *ERGH* no fair.

yummm pizza and cookies

indeed! i want one of those cupboards too!

or a bakery next door. I'd take that too

It really isn't.

magic cupboards. they are needed. Like automatically appearing coffee. *sighs*

Oh, man...or a coffee cup that fills itself up with your favorite beverage whenever you start to get low.

please exist. please exist. oh pretty please with sugar on top EXIST

*thinks happy thoughts* You think if we wish enough, it'll come to pass?

Nope, that really is not fair at all.
... Which reminds me that I should do some grocery shopping. I'm almost all outta bread.

bread is good... food in general is good

I agree entirely.

It is very unfair indeed. There needs to be a law to change it.

It's even less fair when you really don't feel well enough to be going out of the house. Mind you, I do have stuff in the freezer so I'll manage. And some of that stuff is ice cream so it's not all bad.

I will have to leave the house tomorrow or I'll run out of loo roll and that would not be good.

I had to go out and stock up today. When it's -10F before windchill (-32 after... not sure what that is in C, but *damn* cold). But I went today because tomorrow's supposed to be COLDER. and WITH SNOW.

Ice cream= good.

running out of toilet paper (what we call loo roll I assume)= bad. Actually, that's another reason I did the shopping today

Yeah.
