LOL! I gave up chocolate for Lent...

I gave up Lent for Lent. It'll be tough, but I've been through worse.

Only 14 points til my eleventh block!

LOL! I gave up chocolate for Lent... I'd send some to Feli but I made sure that there was no temptation left in the house...

oh man... I did that about 15 years ago and was so proud when it was over and I hadn't cracked. So much so that the following year I gave it up for a whole year.

That was hard - but I managed it. This year I have given up eating chocolate in the office. Whichi s hard since most of the people I work with keep an emergency chocolate bar in their desk drawer for those times when it seems I am about to go into orbit. Which is about twice a day at the moment.

Um, just as a suggestion, in case you ever do decide to send me chocolate - can you please make it chocolate mud cake or a muffin or something like that? Cause American chocolate is not quite what I'm missing.... . No offense!

(((hugs)) to both you and the gatelet...I hope you both are feeling better soon!!

And ((hugs)) to Feli...I hope you feel better soon too..

mmm funny stories...
Well, First my Chinese sign is snake...so I fit myself not part of the story

Today at work some of my square(cube) mates and I compared balls...... get you minds out of the gutter you!! They were squeeze balls or stress balls as some call them..... One of the guys has this one that looks like you are holding a handful of snakes and it sticks to the wall if you through it......So he determined that not ONLY was that one the biggest....he can throw HIS ball around and people take notice.......

well we all laughed ourselves silly

LOL! I can hear Jack in my head saying "funny" the way he did in Lost City.

LOL! Yesterday, one of the girls in the office was passing out Valentine chocolate to everyone. She popped in my office and dropped some chocolate on my desk! I practically howled and urged her to take it back! She laughed when I told her I had given it upu for Lent but she took it with her on her way out!

She's our resident Brit, BTW. I often ask her what the heck some of the Britishisms I see on here and in fanfic mean.

LOL! I'll have someone deliver German chocolate! LOL! I lived in Germany for two years. I remember the difference! I like any chocolate... I never met a food I didn't like and it shows!

Then you've obviously never had Ghiradelli's chocolate. Now I've had some wonderful German chocolate (thanks again MC! You're package will be along shortly) and Ghiradelli is just as good.

ROFL! At least you're not bitter about it.
Where in Germany did you live?

Mmmmh...you made me hungry...I have Ghirardelli's white chocolate for coffee (a really large tub) and one of those fancy press-a-button-coffee machines that freshly grinds coffee...woth that chocolate, it's rather a full meal than just a coffee.

Giessen. Loved it! Would love to go back someday...

*blows dust out of wallet*

But that would require money...

[greytop]

Did you guys/gals know that we have a Chocolate Thread in this forum?

[Jeril]

I'm going to Germany this summer for a student exchange type thing. I can't wait. The plane tickets are costing us somewhere around $1200 though. Completely insane!!

That IS insane...considering you can fly to NY from Germany for about $350- what do you have to book? Business class?

HEY...THAT was one of my commissaries when I was a Regional Manager for Herta .....I have to say I too LOVED it when I lived in Germany....however NOT being a chocolate hound helped me at least LEAVE the chocolate there for Feli to find

On the other hand...I did drink up quite a supply of German coffee....THAT I miss very much...so much better then ours here in the states
