I could give up chocolate but I'm not a quitter.

Anonymous

The ancient Maya were writing about chocolate on their pottery as early as A.D. 500

Some scholars believe chocolate may date back to the Olmec civilization which preceded the Mayan civilization.

interesting ... just so long as they keep it coming

"Those who have been too long at their labour,
who have drunk too long at the cup of voluptuousness,
who feel they have become temporarily inhumane,
who are tormented by their families, who find life sad and love ephemeral;
they should all eat chocolate and they will be comforted."

Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

"Strength is the capacity to break a bar into four pieces with bare hands and then eat just one of the pieces." Judith Viorst

My friend who is a bishop quoted this one over dessert last month.

Everyone has to believe in something...

I believe I'll have some more chocolate.

I like choc in small doses. It doesn't like me at all.

I love these quotes, Jaz'd. If I hear any, I'll share them with you.

Thanks P/C! How's your week been?

Pretty busy! I've been working 6:30 to 5:00 or 5:30 pretty much every day. But I like it. And the evenings have been really relaxing... not to mention getting good sleep each night. How's your week been? I haven't seen a lot of you, even with your shiny new computer.

I think I have picked out the new copmputer I want... now it's just a matter of making the move, and spending the money.

I've been fine. Pretty average week, just had a dentist's appointment - cleaning. Oh I've been around! I could do to get some good restful sleep!

Sorry to hear you haven't had restful sleep. I hope everything's okay?

I need to have my teeth cleaned soon, if not this month, next month for sure. I've got a small cavity which needs filling, and a wisdom tooth which likely will need to come out. That's why I've been putting it off for so long.

I've kind of missed having the time I used to have for hootooing. I'm down to popping on sporadically from work, in between dramas and actual work stuff, and on Friday nights while my better half's at band practice. Sometimes I don't talk to someone for what seems like a few days, and it's actually been weeks.

Hi PCandy! JEllen here. Sounds like things are going well even if you are staying busy.
