I was able to get an appointment for next week.
The only downside is that I have to be there at 8:00am.

We paid 30 cents less with our Fred Meyer discount.
Glad to hear the trip went/is going well, DR Rodzinski!

I was saddened when a British friend posted just the other day about how poor a second American chocolate candy is to the British equivalents. And I mean direct equivalents, like some of the famous candy bars we all know and love. It's because the U.S. doesn't require the same level of cocoa [something or other] content as the Brits and Europeans do in their chocolate, and the difference is apparently pretty obvious. And remarkable. I've never had the pleasure, myself, but he was posting about Twix, specifically, and even that difference is remarkable. I wonder if any of these can be found at various "international" shops.

I think to be called chocolate overseas, you have to have at least 20 percent chocolate. Ours sometimes have less than 2 percent, if I remember correctly.
Quote from: ChasSmith on August 28, 2023, 01:44:28 PMRaisinets were always one of my top favorites, but now that I've gotten used to the dark chocolate ones, I can't go back to the regular milk chocolate ones. Well, that's because I did, in fact, go back to the regular milk chocolate ones just a few weeks ago when the theeder didn't have anything else I wanted. And they were okay, but I wouldn't choose to buy them again when I can have the dark.I make my own raisinetts with a handful of raisins and chocolate chips mixed together.

Had the Muse Margaret conversation, and now all of proofer one's stuff is done.
Has anyone read The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen? It’s a kind of gay version of Shanna, the Blazing Novel of Eternal Love, by Miss Kathleen E. Woodiwiss.
Today was a very stressful day at work.
I am tired.
Smarties ( the American ones)
Something is wacky in the south of France.
Something is wacky in the east of Java.
Something is wacky in the west side story.
Maybe George will join us prior to midnight. Wouldn't that be a loverly change of pace.
