COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Blessings to you for doing this! I doubt I would do it as a volunteer.

Were you a teacher in your past?

Never! My career has been entirely in IT. Ever since the days of punch cards

Ich kann schreiben Deutsch auch aber es ist nicht güt.

(And that is undoubtedly in the wrong order, but I didn’t cheat with Google translate and it is nearly 40 years since I took my German O Level [emoji16])

Well done.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Why do you get them from Greece? There are dogs in Germany...[emoji2]

Ive heard of German Shepherds, maybe they are from Greece? ;-)

 

[KarenSoCal]

My dogs are bigger than my cats. Their jaws could do a lot of harm to a cat. Many years ago when my old dogs where young I left them for half an hour alone with my cats. Never before there had been any problems. When I came home after the short while all my cats was hidden. One of them was bitten. The dogs had been chasing the cats. I took an umbrella and beat my dogs. After this I never left my dogs alone with the cats again. I lock the dogs up when I have to leave.

Oh, OK. Yes, that is important. My 2 dogs and 2 cats get along most of the time, unless there is a treat involved. Then it's a lot of hissing and growling. Rarely any damage done though.

And a dog HAS to chase a cat now and then, usually because the cat has been teasing the dog.
These are the two that get in trouble...

I’ve never had a Hershey Bar

Neither have I actually. It was just a picture of the biggest chocolate I could find on google. But don't tell Linda, she does not need to know that it is only a picture!

And sometimes it is not entirely the young person’s fault. Behind pretty much every exclusion is a web of problems caused by adults... often those who should be caring most for the young person.

If you have a parent that supports you in your ambitions, helps you understand right from wrong and helps you understand that sometimes the answer has to be no then give them a massive hug because there are a lot of young people that don’t get that.

The question I’m going to ask you Linda may change the TFO and the world as we know it................... do you like Cadbury or Galaxy chocolate?!?!?

 

[KarenSoCal]

I’ve never had a Hershey Bar

My home town was 40 miles from Hershey (in PA).

We went there often, as there is a large amusement park, as well as a mock-up of the chocolate factory that you ride through on a little cable car type ride.

The streets of the town are named after Hershey candy products, and best of all...the whole town smells like chocolate!

When I was a kid they gave samples of candy to you after the factory ride, but not any more.

They also had HUGE chocolate bars for sale..probably 3 feet x 2 feet. I don't remember what they cost, but they were expensive.

Chocolate...

When I traveled a ton....i could never bring enough of these back..

Ritter Sport is a brand of chocolate from the family-owned Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG. Company, which is headquartered in Waldenbuch, Germany.

Or these...

A Mozartkugel (English: Mozart ball), is a small, round sugar confection made of pistachio marzipan and nougatthat is covered with dark chocolate. It was originally known as Mozart-Bonbon, created in 1890 by Salzburgconfectioner Paul Fürst (1856–1941) and named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Hand-made Original Salzburger Mozartkugeln are manufactured by Fürst's descendants up to today, while similar products have been developed by numerous confectioners, often industrially produced.

Of course...you can’t go wrong with a KitKat bar..

Oh Linda needs the galaxy as it says "more to share". That way there will be some to share with us. [emoji6]

Oh no. I would not want to stay there. I would be eating chocolate all the time. [emoji33]

We don't get them here.

Thry even sell mulch in the greater area around Hershey that is pretty much 100% cocoa bean hulls. Smells great!

If you like the smell of chocolate this is the mulch for you! This Cocoa Shell Mulch is derived from the shell of the cocoa bean. It is dark brown in color and very lightweight. It is a very good conditioner for your soil. It should be applied much thinner than most mulches.

 

[Cathie G]

There’s a few helicopters flying around here for the shooting vigil the community is holding tonight.
It’s still a shock this happened here.

I'm so sorry your community is going through this. I did see it on the news that day. It's a really sad thing that people kill others just because they don't think the same. I wish we could all just listen to each other and possibly learn something new.

Sigh, that would be torture smelling chocolate all the time and not being able to eat it.

It’s better for your waistline when you have internet chocolate
