Chocolate

Judy Story @jstory07 (149784) • Roseburg, Oregon 11 Sep

Chocolate has been around for over 4,000 years. You can not knock it. It is chocolate. You have milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is the best chocolate for you to eat. It is high in antioxidants. It is good...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (62967) 5 Sep

I haven't posted a discussion in a few days. Too busy to think about it, and way too stressed. I had some messages so I thought I would just make a discussion to state what yesterday was about. Some of you may recall that for...

The Horse arrested again at Kaiser. But it was worth it!

The Horse @TheHorse (240576) • Walnut Creek, California 5 Sep

I picked up some meds from my medical provider yesterday. As you know, I have been arrested out there many times for illegal planting. Yesterday I was about to be whisked away again when I pointed out the ear of corn growing just...

BarBaraPrz My pea plants gave up about three pods before just giving up entirely. Maybe I'll put a few seeds in the ground today. My beans, however, started slowly but now are over-producing.

OMG checkout Trump's new "hair"

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127906) • United States 5 Sep

People have been speculating about if Trump wears a wig or hairpiece. You can google something like "Trump hair changes" and you will find side by side images from over the past week or 2. He's been throwing a fit because people...

This morning I woke up at around ten. I saw that I had cooked Beef Stew. Mama said my eldest brother was coming to visit. So I cleaned the bathroom because I always forget. He came from his trip to Singapore. He had a lot of...

9/11 is Coming Up Soon

celticeagle @celticeagle (193766) • Boise, Idaho 6 Sep

I remember when it happened. I happened to be looking for a job at that time. I had just gotten back home from job service and turned on the TV. I thought it was some awful joke. Surely this wasn't really happening. I became...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (62967) 6 Sep

Friday we were in another city for an appointment for my son. It lasted way longer than we planned and it was nearly dark when we finally were able to get started for home. We stopped for a bathroom break, some cold water and then...

Remember the Nancy Drew Series?

celticeagle @celticeagle (193766) • Boise, Idaho 3 Sep

If you are a woman who grew up in the 50s or after you may have gotten these popular mysteries at the library. They were about a young girl solving mysteries. It wasn't until just a few years ago that I found out the truth about...

BarBaraPrz I think I read one Nancy Drew book... didn't find it that interesting. However, when they were filming the TV series in Vancouver in 1995, I did get a gig on one of the episodes.

Gas prices on the road to Montana. Wheee!

The Horse @TheHorse (240576) • Walnut Creek, California 3 Sep

No road trip to Montana would be complete without me checking gas prices along the way. Usually, the price is about the same as here (San Francisco Bay Area) as I head East through California. Suddenly, when I get to Nevada, the...
