I got it in an email this morning and had to post it. The lady who sent it to me, who lives in Texas, has made noises about joining us here. If she wants to do that, I'll give everyone a heads up. She's a very strong conservative.

That story is going into an email.   :taps: :salutearmy:

Thanks for posting this CG. Beautiful picture.

Reading the story teared me up.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

What a beautiful shot!!!!!
