JoesDad loves Reese’s... personally I am ambivalent. I will eat it, but really don’t care.


I know. American tastes in chocolate are different to UK tastes and so they changed the flavour of Cadbury for the US market. I don’t get that. A changed recipe makes it a different product, don’t try to kid people who know what it should taste like!

I am not a fan of Hersheys. My real favourite is some of the European chocolate... Belgian is the most famous, but the French and Italians make pretty good chocolate too.
Hershey isn't my favorite either except for a Reeses. It's not made with corn syrup...

Sun never really “popped out” today like it was forecast ... a bit chilly and overcast all day long. I did manage to get our back lawn cut, trimmed a whole bunch of limbs from our fallen trees, split some pine logs....worked a bit on the new cherry bowl.

The bottom is now finished up, flipped around, and started removing the innards.

That statement makes my mind shoot straight to a horror flick [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]‍♀️

My favorite chocolate shop is in Berlin. It's called Rausch Schokoladenhaus, and it has Berlin's landmarks out of chocolate.

The Brandenburg Gate. (Photos off the web.)

Gosh, I love Berlin almost as much as I love good chocolate!

My kinda place! All chocolate is a special form of art to me:)

That's really neat! I never went to Berlin. We preferred more rural areas instead of big cities. Of course se did go to some...Frankfurt, Cologne, and some smaller cities.

I'd like to eat the Cologne Cathedral in chocolate!

Good mornooning, roommates! Wishing everyone a Terrific Tuesday!

Photo 2/12. "Scary". This took me directly to Roskilde Museum, home to skulls and Viking-era treasures, Christian symbols and haunting sound effects. A truly atmospheric place... But first I stopped by “Ragnarok”, a seven-sided sculpture depicting the apocalypse in front of the museum.

Hood pictures, but the place gives me the creeps!

Just wanted to let all visitors to the CDR know I might not stop by for a day or 2.

I'm having cataract surgery tomorrow (Wed)! I've been waiting a year for this, and it's finally happening!

So if you see me, it will be out in the warm lit world.

I've arranged with some hedgehogs to ride them like skates since I can't drive. They have promised they will stay close together and not stretch my parts beyond what is bearable...I have not done a split in.....thinking......well, never.

So please, don't let Montgomery fill them full of the fiery liquid tonight? Please?!?

And I'll see you ....when I can see you! [emoji102]

Hope it all went well, Linda
They just told me to see my GP about my knee to be referred to the hospital.
Chances are I will be back in the physio dept at some point either after, or instead of, surgery!:rolleyes:
MInd you I don't think there's much a physio can do about castanet knees!

Interesting appointment. Mostly because my physio/osteopath doesn’t agree with the hospital - not the first time and she has always been right so far.

She put me through my paces on gym equipment to see what hurt and when and noted a weakness when I tried to stand on tiptoes on the foot on my bad leg. She thinks I have a calf muscle injury in ... she’s reserving judgement on my knee for the moment .

Anyways, I have to wear flight socks to help with the swelling. And I have exercises to do intensively until I see her again next week when she will see where I am. I have to go to the gym and the pool daily for a few days!

Good luck Karen, hope the procedure goes well and you'll be back with us in no time at all.
