My favourite thing? In addition to Coffee Crisp chocolate bars (can't get them in the U.S.) ... I sold my condo two days ago! Sold at a loss, but still profited $CAD35,000 (which is equal to abt $US31), but none the less ... never thought it would sell, as the condo market in Ottawa is really "soft".

So yay! Huzzah!!

luckylu: I do remember penny candy and Zotz. One of my all-time favorites were Pixie Stix! Talk about pure (flavored) sugar! I also used to love the Bazooka Bubble Gum with the comics inside. I'm not sure if you're aware, but there is a place called Yummie's (you can Google it and order on-line). They have just about every kind of candy you can imagine (even the ones we used to get - it's a trip down memory lane just viewing all the "stuff". Hope you get a chance to look at it. They may even still have "Bottle-Caps".

When I was real little I used to like Gold-Rush gum because it came in a little bag and I also liked those wax bottles

A little while ago I tried to get my mother talking by asking her about her favorite candy when she was little. She said they were too poor to buy candy and couldn't remember having any. I, on the other hand, went on a trip down memory lane. Bottle Caps are similar to Sweet tarts I think, I was obsessed with them as a tween. Others I remember are sponge toffee and Macintosh toffee, pixie sticks (remember when the straws were paper?), popeye candy cigarettes (these were popular because we could pretend to smoke them, as I recall they didn't taste like much), black licorice pipes and black licorice nibs, and smarties (these are like m&ms). Oh, and black balls jawbreakers because you could spit them out and see the colours change!

P o e m:
Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. -Mary Frye

My favorite today is visiting the pets, sitting in an A/C house, watching a real t.v. with the current news on a big acreen. Will be taking my Lindt with me-hope I find the pineapple chocolate!

GA - I was at WalMart the other day, getting groceries, and noticed they had a bunch of stuff on clearance. One of the items was Eight-O-Clock Coffee CHOCOLATES. Not kidding. Little squares of coffee-infused chocolate. I picked up a plain and a hazelnut - they are incredible! Who knew?!

Favorite thing - discovering new chocolate. Local grocery store periodically has sales on Lindt chocolate bars. A new one is a dark chocolate bar with pineapple. There's just the hint of pineapple, lending a nice, fresh, subtle taste to the dark chocolate.

This one's a keeper. I need to get back to the store and stock up!

I would love to visit Scotland, as many of my ancestors are from there. But my dream trip is to Venice, and then Egypt. Perhaps a river cruise.

My ex is a complete knobhead. A tallywhacking jerk face knobhead. (I'm plagiarizing from monkeygirl. At least I admit it, not like another woman who spoke for her bloviating bigoted knobhead of a husband.)

The above two paras have nothing to do with each other, except that b/c I got rid of the knobhead, I now can go where I want.

This thanks goes out to all the loving, brave souls who continue to strive, after losing a loved one after years of caregiving, and are still a part of the caring going on here.

Hey Send! You asked and I answered. Kitty is guarding the fort. I was going to say locked and loaded but considering the times we are a living in............? Not such a good idea.

He looks fierce with an unloaded rifle. :)

I am just picturing the strategist responsible running the original video past the official candidate and trying to explain Freddy Mercury to him.

For a follow up, perhaps they should use "I want to break free"?

Cooking two chicken breasts in tiny toaster-oven for later.
Then, we are having chocolate ice cream. Really hot day, heatwave.
Staying cool @95 ° only. Putting on the exit fan, even the tiny countertop oven is making heat.

We are the champions, by queen.
I was interested to hear something about the Queen of England, so I clicked on the rnc in error, there was the song being played, trending now. Please protect your loved ones and dementia patients from the news-they might think it is all real!

Where is Gershun with her kitty-cat avatar, protecting Canada from all bad things?

Oh-oh. What have I missed, Send?

It probably wasn't Vladimir Putin's version of Blueberry Hill, but that would certainly be one example of a good song not so much ruined as just made really alarming.

The other that I can't quite forgive Mike Myers for is Dr Evil and Mini Me's duet to 'Just The Two of Us.' It will never be the same.

But, so, who's using what for which campaign?

When some famous people use a famous song (without permission btw) for their own self-promotion, they can really ruin it for the rest of us.
Hearing the song, it repeats in your head, but then you think of how it has been used and it makes you sick.
Still, there are many other famous songs left to sing....

Pam I used to do the same waiting for my kids to come out of school. One term I fancied I had really nailed The Queen of The Night's aria in the Magic Flute. It wasn't until a year or so later that I found out that the dad waiting in the next car with a 'help me God' expression on his face was actually an opera singer.

One of my favorite things is when a new song remake comes out using the lyrics of an oldie but goodie you have known for years. When your kids are playing it, you sing it out!
