Chocolate Anyone?

Hi Everyone,

Amid all the things that you want to do, have to be done and go left undone because you just can't anymore...does anyone ever have a strong craving for chocolate? I do...and when I give in to the temptation to have some...I enjoy it tremendously but always feel guilty because of some medications I'm on (Actigal for gallbladder) and it says not to have a large amounts of chocolate.

But chocolate is sometimes the only thing that gets me out of the dolddrums so to speak. I never eat that much but the little I do consume makes me feel better.

Thanks for listening to my confession. Tony, who has PD, likes his chocolate too. He likes Snickers!

Margie :)

Margie :) Margie, I enduldge in chocolate as often as possible and especially like it with a glass of wine, which I shouldn't have either. If we can't enjoy lifes little pleasures, what's the point? Gail

Hi Guy's

Just a quick note before I'm off to work

Gail wine is good for Parker's especially red, one of its ingredients helps the cells (~dance in a red tutu with high heels & a purple hat )
ha ha sorry I make my self laugh I often can't see to type !
I'm serious though even though I don't sound convincing !!
So is chocolate as it has a similar effect ! (God is good )

Gail, You uplifted my spirits. I was feeling so down and guilty. I do that to myself at times. Since I enjoy a glass of wine at times and chocolate too...I'll have to try them together. I never have. Thanks for the 'tip'. Margie :)

My favorite part of winetasting is when you are given chocolate and port. That is something you should try. I am surrounded by wineries in CA and feel it is my duty to visit them all until I determine which one has the best wine. It is a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

[MargieB]

Good to know. I'm going on a wine tasting this weekend.

Can I come along? Margie:)

I'm sitting here giggling like a school girl...and it's not from wine.

I will definitely try a glass of port and chocolate. Sounds yummy!

Carry on with that duty of yours...to visit all the wineries in CA until you determine which one has the best wine...and then let us know :D:D:D. You're right..."It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it"...go girl!

How about we add some http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn88/Bronx628Margie/music.gif music for our party? OK with everyone?

Sue, you shouldn't mention something so delicious as galaxy. Here it is 4:06 AM and I can't go out and get any right now.
But soon...soon :p.

Hi All,
I would love to come to your party but I am trying to lose some weight. If you have another party next week I could come to that one. I will have to spend all week saving points so that I can have some of that wine and chocolate. How about I bring a nice strawberry pavlova?
God bless
Geraldine

[heather]

Hi Geraldine,
we will wait for you, strawberry pavlova? sounds lovely, we will only except any thing that is naught,but nice http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/maesisaf/10u1.gif

Margie this is a chunky kit kat
it's like having the 4 bars in one, with twice as much chocolate poured over it
I love to bite the ends off first, then the sides, eat the wafer, then the eat the chocolate

Hi Geraldine, Don't worry about the calories...I've had them all removed...but all the taste and flavor of everything is still the same--delicious. It's wonderful what an imagination can do. So come on over...tonight if you can.

I must admit I don't know what a strawberry pavlova is but it sounds yummy. Definitely bring one to the party...it will be enjoyed by us all.

See you then :)Margie

[Pauline]

You can all have the chocolate I'll just have the Wine I'll even bring an extra bottle :D:D:D I'm the lush :D:D:DPauline

[heather]

Margie you haven't lived if you haven't had a Pavlova
you whip up white of egg to make a marangue [spelling]
put it in a circular dish and cook slowly till golden brown
fill the centre with fresh fruit , my daughter - in-law,mixes the egg white with melted snicker bar and cooks it, i haven't had any luck doing that, but it's to die for

hi Pauline, ill bring my JD and GT as i don't drink wine, have the odd glass of very very dry white

[Diane]

Heather, I once knew a man who reminisced about his old Mom, who liked to put a chocolate in each cheek, and drink straight whiskey down the middle!:D:D:D You'll be the life of the party, but you'll have to share the JD and GT!

Heather I'm going to have to try to make it. It'll be a hit for sure, especially if I manage to include the Snickers bar.

See you tonight!
Margie

[MargieB]

margie you seem a lot happier today hope you and tony are having a better day, ican almost here you chuckle, great pick me up chocolate cheers you up when your feeling down hope you are feeling better other wise we will all keep on worrying about you take care susan.

Susan I am feeling much better today. I'm wearing a mini back brace and it helps greatly. Am going to the chiropractor tomorrow and after adjustment I'm sure I'll be on my way to all better.

Also, Pauline has given me an easy back exercise that I'm doing and it is helping. Stomach and nerves have finally settled down. Maybe it's because Tony is feeling better. That makes such a tremendous difference.

Also, this Party that I have planned for tonight kept me smiling, laughing and enjoying. Finding out the delicious goodies that all of you enjoy made me feel like part of the group...and that is a wonderful feeling...to belong!

Thanks so much for your kind words and concern. They meant the most of all.

Margie :)

[susan wheatley]

margie i am glad we,re all here to help each other in any way we can, great that tony is feeling better today, you cant beat a good party cheers, take care susan.

[heather]

Margie
I hope you realise that this party is going to go on for days :p
the time difference will take the blame :D

[Gail]

Are you sure it is still in your fridge? Better check...I think I ate it :eek:.

Margie :) That's what happened to it. I was blaming my son.

[MargieB]

That's what happened to it. I was blaming my son.

Nope! It was me :D. And it was delicious. Sorry there's no more.

[MargieB]

Margie

Heather, I know! And you came up with the perfect excuse...the time difference will take the blame.

After the party slows down a bit we could go to Manhattan and visit Radio City Music Hall http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn88/Bronx628Margie/music_hall.jpgwatch the movie playing there and then enjoy the Rockettes (the excellent dancers that perform there). Then we could take a walk and find the perfect restaurant to dine. How does that sound to you?

Thanks for coming to my party. I hope your weekend with Jim turns out to be really nice.

Margie :)

[MargieB]

margie i am glad we,re all here to help each other in any way we can, great that tony is feeling better today, you cant beat a good party cheers, take care susan.

You said it! I'm glad we're all here to help each other in any way we can. That's why the party! Parties are happy occasions and I would so like to give all of you a happy occasion to celebrate.

It was fun doing all the stuff with the chocolate, wine, JD, GT, etc. and then to imagine that all of you could come visit in the hot air balloon.

Have a really good weekend dear friend. Thanks for partaking in my 'party'. As Heater says...it could go on for days...and then we will go to Manhattan to see the sights.

Margie

[MargieB]

Heather I'm going to have to try to make it. It'll be a hit for sure, especially if I manage to include the Snickers bar.

GREAT! I can't wait to see you Heather.

Sound good to me Pauline. We'll all enjoy. See you tonight.

NO...THE PARTY IS STILL GOING ON! As Heather said: "Margie, I hope you realize this party is going to continue for days"...in an earlier post to me. She is absolutely right...and then we are going to Manhattan to see Radio City Music Hall, see the movie they are playing and the Rockettes (Dancers). After that we will look for an excellent restaurant and have dinner...and then if we are still up to it...tour the City.

We are looking forward to your CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT CHEESE CAKE and the bottle of asti riccadonna. Such delicious goodies :D:D:D.

We'll be waiting for you...if your Mum would like to come, bring her along.

Heather, you look very cute and stylish in your costume...but I don't think that is really you in the picture...it is a photobucket one...Yes? Or is it you?

I'm stuffed with all the delicious 'naughties' we have to eat and drink at the party. Have to wait a few hours before I can continue.Enjoy!

Talk with you soon again.

Heather(Prill) arriving late at the party, what have I missed? I see Heather senior has roped me in for the Welsh tour, sounds good to me. We have Powis Castle just down the road, and there is one in Shrewsbury, well it is just down the road, even if it is in Shropshire, and one that 'Cromwell knocked about a bit' at Whittington, well someone knocked it about! Anyway if I had known what was going on I would have toasted you after my (even if I do say it myself) rather successful Coffee Morning last Tuesday, was rather nervous but it went very well and we raised money which was the object of the exercise. Parkinsons will benefit. Had my X-Ray on Thursday morning, following my landing rather heavily on my tail, I totter backwards quite a lot lately and this time I did not manage to keep standing. It is EXTREMELY painful especially when I sit. oh well I guess I should be pleased that at least it will get better.....
Had a good day Friday with the grandsons, even if my movements were limited, the kiddies were very good, helped al they could.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend, mine has been quieter than usual due to my 'injury', will have to make up for it. Just booked for a stay at The Trefeddian, Aberdovey in September, we try to go there at least a 3 times a year, it is only an hours drive away, The Hotel. is great, we always have a room with balcony on the 4th floor, it overlooks the sea, it is huge!!! They take you on a virtual tour if you log on to www.trefwales.com. It caters well for the disabled even if it does sit on a hill, and no I do not have shares!

Will go as I want to type a few more emails before the Grand Prix comes on.
Bye for now. H(the Prill)

I'm wearing my sparkly red tutu too with 3 inch stappy red sandles. I'll take my purple hat off so it doesn't spoil my hair ! I'm here to shake my carcass ( swing my hips )

Hi Margie

so glad it's nothing serious;)
Take care Ltd you have a lot of catching up at the party

[heather]

I hope I'm not too late.

Hi Gail

it's a dirty job, but someone has to do it, Thanks for the wine and Port
just in case you , you had enough, fruit juice is being served, and don't worry, Ltd is on her way, she [with help from her friends] wont let it waste http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/maesisaf/mixedpeop87.gif

[heatherwilmot]

Sorry my screed got printed twice, think there is a song about that.
I love this thread, champers and chocolate, what else is there?
Whoever thought of this is brilliant,I feel so cheerful ater reading all those letters. How did you know I have a glass of wine with a Snickers every evening at 9. My main pleasure however is a 'Weight Watchers Chocolate Bar' frozen. If you do decide to try it, mind your teeth, very hard but it lasts longer. now now. Sunday 4 pm sounds just right for a party.

It is EXTREMELY painful especially when I sit. oh well I guess I should be pleased that at least it will get better.....
Had a good day Friday with the grandsons, even if my movements were limited, the kiddies were very good, helped al they could.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend, mine has been quieter than usual due to my 'injury', will have to make up for it. Just booked for a stay at The Trefeddian, Aberdovey in September, we try to go there at least a 3 times a year, it is only an hours drive away, The Hotel. is great, we always have a room with balcony on the 4th floor, it overlooks the sea, it is huge!!! They take you on a virtual tour if you log on to www.trefwales.com. It caters well for the disabled even if it does sit on a hill, and no I do not have shares!

Will go as I want to type a few more emails before the Grand Prix comes on.
Bye for now. H(the Prill) It won't let me send this letter!!!

Hi Heather P
so glad you could join us, but as you no the Welsh have always been quicker to party's than the English ;);) :D
glad you had a good weekend, bossy Heather, thought she would rope you in just in case you felt to shy :D
Thanks for the link, it' looks good, and very relaxing
Take care and rest your wounds

[heather]

GIRLS I'M HERE, I'M ALWAYS LATE !!

I've brought Gin & Tonic, double chocolate, chocolate cake, with chocolate icecream & runny cream.
Also Tiramisu !! A italian coffee liquor soaked sponge with cream cheese , it floats my boat ! (Or probably sinks it with the amount I eat ! haa ha )

I'm wearing my sparkly red tutu too with 3 inch stappy red sandles. I'll take my purple hat off so it doesn't spoil my hair ! I'm here to shake my carcass ( swing my hips )
Ah Abba playing yeah !! I'm dancing round my handbag now


Well better late than never Ltd, you have a lot of catching up
I'm off to bingo, so you may be able to catch up, by the way i borrowed your hat http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/maesisaf/image0045.gif

[heatherwilmot]

What a fast response. I was just going to close down to organise food for my other half and flicked through out of curiosity.
Lovely day except for the wind, it is blowing my hanging baskets so much I think they might fly away.
I will never pass your neck of the woods again without shouting hello to you, Mike nearly jumped out of his skin on Friday evening, we had been sitting quietly listening to the radio when I suddenly shouted very loudly. Poor man, good job he is used to me.
Having a good day to-day, except for my posterior but the rubber ring is great. thanks for good wishes. Time will heal it I guess.
Have a drink and snickers on me. Heather (P)

Hi Sue
Practice does make perfect, that's why we are all at the party,
hope you don't mind me putting your picture right

[heather]

Sorry my screed got printed twice, think there is a song about that.
I love this thread, champers and chocolate, what else is there?
Whoever thought of this is brilliant,I feel so cheerful ater reading all those letters. How did you know I have a glass of wine with a Snickers every evening at 9. My main pleasure however is a 'Weight Watchers Chocolate Bar' frozen. If you do decide to try it, mind your teeth, very hard but it lasts longer. now now. Sunday 4 pm sounds just right for a party.

Hello again. "It's illegal, It's immoral or it makes you fat is so true". Why is it that it is always the things we enjoy they say are bad for us. I remember when I was about 10, yes I can remember that far back, I said 'when I grow up and can choose I am going to eat a whole gooey chocolate cake to myself,', I meant a family size one. Just remembered it. Well come tomorrow, it will be 'hello Cake shop.' Could be ill but heck we should always carry out our promises!
Take care of yourself, Luv. Heather(P)

Hi, this is Aunti Margie, So glad to hear from you. I ponder the same thing...why is it that it is always the things we enjoy soooooooooooooooooooooooo much they say are bad for us? Chocolate makes me feel better than some medications...figure that?

Maybe in the future the 'powers that be' will realize that if in moderation...things that they say are bad for us could be taken and give us their blessing :eek:,

Hope you have a really good day.

Hi Heather P. Hope the rubber ring keeps helping you feel better and that your x-rays show nothing and that your pain is due to bruses which will heal. Let us know how you are doing.

Talk with you soon again.

Well better late than never Ltd, you have a lot of catching up
I'm off to bingo, so you may be able to catch up, by the way i borrowed your hat http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/maesisaf/image0045.gif

Hi ltd_addition and Heather, Oh what lovlies you brought ltd_addition. I can't wait to enjoy a little bit of everything...wouldn't want to pig out and not share and eat/drink all of it...so I'm glad there are so many of you here. Those red shoes look smashing and the music is just right for you to DANCE. So very glad you could be here. Come in and have a good time.

Hi Heather, enjoy your bingo and wait until the ladies at bingo see the purple hat you borrowed from ltd_addition. You'll be the prettiest lady there. Have fun.

Margie :)

Sue
I am loving the pictures too. The party must continue until I figure out how to post a picture. Of course I have gained 10 pounds eating all of this chocolate and drinking all this wine so it will need to be a pre-chocolate party picture

[Gail]

Hi Gail
never to late, some of us have taken the Job, of keeping the party going
it's a dirty job, but someone has to do it, Thanks for the wine and Port
just in case you , you had enough, fruit juice is being served, and don't worry, Ltd is on her way, she [with help from her friends] wont let it waste http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/maesisaf/mixedpeop87.gif
has anyone noticed how the men can't keep up with us http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/maesisaf/mixedwomanwaiting.jpg These are great. Th first picture is what I looked like when I got back from wine tasting. I loved the second picture, but I gave up looking for a man, perfect or otherwise, years ago.

[heatherwilmot]

Hi Marge, Heather and all fellow Chocoholics.
Up very early this morning having retired to bed at 8.30, my husband thought I was ill, never go until midnight! Well old enough to please myself.
thanks for good wishes, yes sure the bruising will heal but it is making life difficult at the moment, living on painkillers, which I hate. Off swimming, well playing in the water thi afternoon, hope the warmth will help.
Must learn this picture sending technique, how do I get lessons please?
Hope you all have a good day. Heather (P)

Gai :):)what a lovely family you have:):):)Pauline

[Gail]

Thanks, I have been very blessed and wouldn't trade any of them. One of my sons lives in Colorado so I don't see him as much as I would like too. Hoprfully he will return to California someday. I like them all close to home.

[heatherwilmot]

Morning everyone from Heather(P). Have passed through a couple of times but have not left a sign! I feel as if I am missing something so have run off the detailed instructions how to send a piccie, see if I can see you if not send one of my own, well, old dogs and new tricks, they say they don't match/mix.
Visited the local branch of Parkies yesterday, had a great afternoon, good bunch, except for getting drowned going and leaving, it didn't stop to rain!! No, we don't talk about PD all the time, have a good natter, but also learn a great deal. If
I was younger and more able I would have loved going on the Board of Trustees, if they would have me of course. Still, can attend the meetings and get involved locally.
Hope to see you (literally) soon. Heather(Prill)

[Gail]

Don't give up on the pictures. It is worth all the frustration once you get them posted. I had to keep going back and read the instructions over and over, but finally did it, not necessarily correctly, but I did it. Two days later and I am still patting myself on the back.

Hi Heather
i was wondering where you where, it's 5.30 Pm , and have just waved hello to you
I was a old dog when i learnt to post pictures Heather middle 50, and same age did a diploma in nursing, in my late 50 opened my own forum , so my dear we do mix , There are enough on hear now to help you do it, it really is easy, and well worth it, i feel so proud, that i started doing it, i was expecting people to say it gets on there nerves, as a site i was on before, the boss didn't like it
All i ask that people remember if they copy some ones work, and it has there name on it they don't try to alter it, as it's not fair to them.
why do you say , you have to be younger and able to go on the board,:eek: [ your not losing your marbles are you old girl ;):D] age is nothing, it's what you can give to the board that counts, go for it if that's what you want, then we can say we no some one important on the board of trustees

catch up soon, and don't stay away so long my friend, we have to keep them all thinking who is posting P or senior :D

[heather]

I just made a big batch of Sangria for my daughters baby shower tomorrow. I was thinking of you all when I was making it and wish you all could join us. Yes, there will be chocolate.
Hi Gail
sorry to ask, but what is a "baby shower", is it like our baby christening, so glad you are not letting the side down,with the chocolate, any chance of taking pictures tomorrow

[susan wheatley]

gail,

what a lovely family you have the pictures are really clear mine are,nt as good quality well done you must be very proud.

[Gail]

Hi Heather, It is party where everyone brings gifts for the new baby. It is called a shower because you are "showering the mother-to - be with gifts. My first try at making Sangria and it was delicious. Unfortunately, the guests were all driving so they could only have a little. I had to finished it off so it wouldn't go to waste. We had the best chocolate cake I think have ever tasted.

The Baby Shower you gave for your daughter must have been wonderful. I love Baby Showers. It is such a happy event to celebrate the coming of a little one into one's life.

Now Gail, you managed not only to make delicious Sangria (your first try) but a chocolate cake that was the best you think you have ever tasted. That's pretty special - both at one party. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn88/Bronx628Margie/german-chocolate-cake-1.jpg The missing piece of cake was eaten by Margie :) and it tasted so good with the delicious Sangria you made http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn88/Bronx628Margie/P2070001-1.jpg

Just thinking about the yummies you served made me full. I just know it was a lovely party that everyone enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.

Margie :)

PS Let us know when the baby is born and maybe you could show us some pictures. That would be lovely.

[suzie Q]

Gail the chocolate cake looks yummy .Have not had a piece of cake for soooooo long .have lost 20 kilos over the last 4 months trying to keep it off ..but that looked nice

Sue, you are smart to stay away from the chocolate. I always log out this forum craving it.

That's pretty special - both at one party. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn88/Bronx628Margie/german-chocolate-cake-1.jpg The missing piece of cake was eaten by Margie :) and it tasted so good with the delicious Sangria you made http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn88/Bronx628Margie/P2070001-1.jpg

Just thinking about the yummies you served made me full. I just know it was a lovely party that everyone enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.

Margie :)

PS Let us know when the baby is born and maybe you could show us some pictures. That would be lovely. Margie, That was very cleaver. I will let everyone know when the baby gets here. Hopefully my picture posting sills will have improved by then.

Margie :)

[Gail]

Drew, you can never have enough chocolate. I thought everyone knew that.

[Drew Saunders]

Drew, you can never have enough chocolate. I thought everyone knew that.

Which reminds me.
Went on a coach trip to Amsterdam organised by my local pub and on our journey back pulled into Bruges which is in Belguim (in between Holland and France to save you checking the map) and what is Belguim famous for?

Why lace of course! And...................... CHOCOLATE!!!

Every other shop in the main street leading to the town square was a chocolate shop. The males in our party were totally bemused to see the scrum by the females in our party jossling each other to get into these shops. It was sooooo embarassing. Us guys just left them and took refuge in a bar - well we had to didn't we!?!? Totally bemussed we some time later staggered back onto the coach muttering darkly about never going to Bruges again.

Travelouge note. Bruges (apart from aforementioned shops) is a very pretty town with cobbled streets, horse drawn carriages and wonderful buildings with loads of flags flying. Highly recommended.

If it's okay with ltd_addition...I'm all for it. How about it ltd_addition...are you up for a group of us to come visit for a party? If you are, name the time, date and particulars. Heather and I are your first guests/volunteers...

I also bought a pair of shoes to match my dancing dress http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn88/Bronx628Margie/4thofJulyDresses-carson2.jpg...all I need is a new hairdo!

As for Drew's figure...maybe ltd_addition can take the calories out of some of Drew's favorites :D...that way he can come and bring Elaine.

You can't take calories out of beer! ;)

[MargieB]

You can't take calories out of beer! ;)

Well then Drew, you can enjoy the beer with the calories...just stay away from the chocolates. That should make things even out, wouldn't you say? :confused:
Hope your day is a good one tomorrow. Say hello to Ellaine from me.

Hi Heather
i was wondering where you where, it's 5.30 Pm , and have just waved hello to you
I was a old dog when i learnt to post pictures Heather middle 50, and same age did a diploma in nursing, in my late 50 opened my own forum , so my dear we do mix , There are enough on hear now to help you do it, it really is easy, and well worth it, i feel so proud, that i started doing it, i was expecting people to say it gets on there nerves, as a site i was on before, the boss didn't like it
All i ask that people remember if they copy some ones work, and it has there name on it they don't try to alter it, as it's not fair to them.
why do you say , you have to be younger and able to go on the board,:eek: [ your not losing your marbles are you old girl ;):D] age is nothing, it's what you can give to the board that counts, go for it if that's what you want, then we can say we no some one important on the board of trustees

catch up soon, and don't stay away so long my friend, we have to keep them all thinking who is posting P or senior :D


Hi, Heather Sen. Heather(Mk 2)(P) here. Just had to log-in again, my PC kept telling me I could not do this, and could not do that etc.! It heard me knocking but wouldn't let me in... 'why is everybody always pickin on me!?' joke, no I am not paranoid. Just wanted to say to you, love all the clever pictures appearing everywhere. I will have a go when I have a few minutes.
Love your thoughts on the Trustee subject, seriously I would have given it a go but I did not have time, closing date was 4 days after I first heard about the election, I just did not have time to get my papers in. Next chance willl be 4 years, oh well. So you will have too find another VIP!! Anyway it is bad for your karma to boast, you are too nice a person. I should have joined the PDS Group months ago as I intended, they say 'never put off until tomorrow etc.' I don't think I am losing my marbles, I try to follow the 'use it or lose it' brigade, but they say it creeps up on you when you are not looking! I was chatting on the 'phone just 5 minutes ago saying I feel 40, when I can nearly double that, and when passing shop windows I wonder who the 'old biddy' is who appears to be following me around and is looking back at me.
Was late coming past Wrexham on Friday 4 July, stayed for a meal with my son. I shouted more quietly in case you were in bed!! it was 2300 hrs.
Be in touch, best wishes, snickers and red wine at 2100 hrs. Yuck, but goes down well.....

That's it, blame it on the ladies. I will add Bruges to my list of placese to go.

Margie, That was very cleaver. I will let everyone know when the baby gets here. Hopefully my picture posting sills will have improved by then.

Hi Gail, Just sitting here and thinking of you and how you are? Bet you are getting more and more excited about that 'bundle of joy' that is soon to enter into your life. It's quite a happy and positive experience. I have a strong feeling you are going to be an exceptionally wonderful Grandmother.

Hope you will have a very good day tomorrow.

Here's a treat to help you enjoy your day http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn88/Bronx628Margie/Ice-Cream-Cones.jpg.

Hi Heather (P),

OK...I love to blow out the candles if I get to make a wish? Yes, for children I can make an effort too..no matter how I am feeling. I 'love' bowling too. Haven't though in years. But I have a game called Wii where I can bowl to my hearts content (on the television screen) and not lift a heavy ball...just play the tv game and have lots of fun.

So, my eclairs are tempting you...they are delicious...will have to bring some to our party.

It was nice hearing from you. I hope your Tuesday is a very special good day for you. Glad to hear that there were no broken bones when they read the x-rays. Take care of that 'bunn' with tlc (tender loving care) and feel better soon.

Margie :)

Margie:)I am getting very excited. I don't know what I would do without my granddaughter and havng another one will make life that much sweeter. I was diagnosed with PD the same week I found out my daughter was pregnant with her first child. I am sure she was a gift from God to keep me going. Thanks for thinking of me. It means alot. Oh and thanks for the ice cream. It was delicious,

Hi Gail
I shared your Ice cream too LOL, congratulations I have 2 grand kids and they are so much fun they keep you young:):):)Pauline

Margie (sorry I called you Marge before) from Heather(P)
Thank you for replying, choc eclairs and meringues are my favourite. I love: meringue/nuts/choc sauce/cream/ice cream as a special treat. We were once at a very very smart hotel with about 8 other friends. and I asked for this combination and was told it was not possible to provide it. I was feeling a little stroppy and said, as UK people will remember I'm sure, the lines from a TV show. Cann't remember name of show, A Union Leader stands up and shouts"OK EVERYBODY OUT!!!!!", and we did what the workers all did, we all stood up and trooped out.
Time for my evening Snickers and Ginger Beer, and a relax in my big comfy chair, never seem to have time to sit in it.
Keep getting more out than you put into this life. We need to even up the balance. HeatherP

Ladies,
Decadence.
I used to hold you all in high regard but this obsession with chocolate has got me thinking. Why? I know all about the sugar rush etc. but this does not excuse you.
You all need to lie down in a dim lit room and quaff some beer. CHOCOLATE in the long run will be your undoing so take my advice for saving your soul and have beer instead. For those of you who confess to this craving and are willing to make amends then I can help you. Give up the brown evil and I will lead you into the light. Beer is your salvation so join me in a pint or three and throw off the yoke of the evil brown stuff!!!

Well that was a load of nonsense, eh? Did I sound like Billy Graham? Shucks. I have failed but I feel no remorse. I did my best. I have the feeling that I have not convinced you but on the other hand..............

Hope you are having a good day.

Well that's a start. I am on a mission to convert all those poor unfortunates from the evil "C" to beer. HE is on my side so I will go forth and multiply (I should be so lucky!). Repent and avoid Belgium for your own good. I am the Miller with a "light" touch. If you do not understand the last sentence ask your husband who I'm sure can explaine.
I wish you all a good night and a better day

I would rather have a glass of wine than beer but I don't think you can turn me from ice cream:) lol hope you had a good day :):)Pauline

Thanks Drew, Last I heard here were over 1,400 fires burning in California. I'm not in the area of any of the fires, I live in the valley and we are getting hit with the smoke, which is a lot better than loosing your house in a fire. It looks foggy outside, but it is all smoke. The air is so unhealthy that everyone is trying to stay in doors as much as possible. The heat isn't helping. It is really sad for a lot of people who have lost their homes.

'No smoke without fire' sounds a non-funny remark when I read of your problems. do hope all you get is smoke, I will not moan about our weather in future, after reading of all the disasters around the world we are lucky, floods, which are of course devastating for those who suffer them, many still waiting to return to their homes after a year, but nothing compared to what does happen in the rest of the world.
Keep your chin up. Good luck. Heather(Prill)
