• The 12-step chocoholics program:
  NEVER BE MORE THAN 12 STEPS AWAY FROM CHOCOLATE!

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

• Chocolate: Here today …. Gone today!
  Nobody knows the truffles I’ve seen!

• I  don’t understand why so many “so called” chocolate lovers complain about the calories in chocolate, when all true chocoholics know that it is a vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, ’nuff said.

• Put “eat chocolate” at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you’ll get one thing done.

• Chocolate is cheaper than therapy and you don’t need an appointment.

• When the going gets tough, the tough eat chocolate.

• Q:  Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?
  A:  Because no one wants to quit.

• Chocolate is a Vegetable: chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable. To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy. So candy bars are a health food.

 

Enjoy !

 

*  I could give up chocolate but I’m not a quitter.

*  A day without chocolate is a day without sunshine.

*  Life without chocolate is like a beach without water.

*  I have this theory that chocolate slows down the aging process…. It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?

*  Chocolate causes certain endocrine glands to secrete hormones that affect your feelings and behavior by making you happy. Therefore, it counteracts depression, in turn reducing the stress of depression. Your stress-free life helps you maintain a youthful disposition, both physically and mentally. So, eat lots of chocolate! Elaine Sherman

*  Simply put… everyone has a price, mine is chocolate!

 

Eat a Dove chocolate and be rewarded with an amusing quote….. although the chocolate is my reward and I don’t usually need an excuse to eat chocolate but it’s fun to get to the inside of the foil wrapper to discover these quotes -

* How do you treat someone addicted to chocolate therapy?

* Chocolate doesn’t make the world go around but it makes the trip worthwhile.

* If at first you don’t succeed then skydiving is not for you.

* Chocolate is the answer. Who cares what the question is.

* The only normal people are the ones you don’t know very well.

* You can’t soar with eagles when you are running with ducks.

* Mistakes are proof that you are trying.

* Knowledge is power but chocolate pulls the switch.

Enjoy your chocolates!

Going with your gut often works out.You believe that every day objects can and should be art. The best art allows ordinary life to be more stylish and beautiful.

What Room of the House Are You?

I’m not sure about being a ‘home body’ as I do enjoy getting out and about ….. but these quizes are fun to do

Take some time-out, relax and be an artist for a day…..Create your own masterpiece and have fun.  Just drag your cursor over the screen – each time you click a new colour comes up for your to work with. Experiment and enjoy being creative….. it’s also a great therapy session if you’re stressed out.

     ….. in the courtroom.

The following quotations are taken from official court records, showing how funny and embarrassing it is that recorders operate at all times in courts of law, so that even the slightest inadvertence is preserved for posterity.

• Lawyer: “Now, Mrs. Johnson, how was your first marriage terminated?”
• Witness: “By death.”
• Lawyer: “And by whose death was it terminated?”

• Lawyer: “What is your date of birth?”
• Witness: “July 15th.”
• Lawyer: “What year?”
• Witness: “Every year.”

Lawyer: “This myasthenia gravis — does it affect your memory at all?”

Witness: “Yes.”

Lawyer: “And in what ways does it affect your memory?”

Witness: “I forget.”

Lawyer: “You forget. Can you give us an example of something that you’ve forgotten?”

• Lawyer: “Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?”
• Witness: “No.”
• Lawyer: “Did you check for blood pressure?”
• Witness: “No.”
• Lawyer: “Did you check for breathing?”
• Witness: “No.”
• Lawyer: “So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?”
• Witness: “No.”
• Lawyer: “How can you be so sure, Doctor?”
• Witness: “Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.”
• Lawyer: “But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?”
• Witness: “Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.”

Lawyer: “How far apart were the vehicles at the time of the collision?”

• Lawyer: “What happened then?”
• Witness: “He told me, he says, ‘I have to kill you because you can identify me.’”
• Lawyer: “Did he kill you?”
• Witness: “No.”
• Lawyer: “You were there until the time you left, is that true?”
• Lawyer: “So you were gone until you returned?”

• Lawyer: “Were you alone or by yourself?”

• Lawyer: “Mr. Slatery, you went on a rather elaborate honeymoon, didn’t you?”
• Witness: “I went to Europe, sir.”
• Lawyer: “And you took your new wife?”

• Lawyer: “I show you Exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize that picture.”
• Witness: “That’s me.”
• Lawyer: “Were you present when that picture was taken?”

• Lawyer: “And what did he do then?”
• Witness: “He came home, and next morning he was dead.”
• Lawyer: “So when he woke up the next morning he was dead?”

• Lawyer: “Could you see him from where you were standing?”
• Witness: “I could see his head.”
• Lawyer: “And where was his head?”
• Witness: “Just above his shoulders.”

What can I say?

Gotta have a giggle at these things ….

You Are a Red Pen

You have an eagle eye for detail, and this often means you end up finding mistakes in people’s work.You may seem quick to criticize or correct, but you think accuracy and truth is important.You like to be involved in every project. You feel like you put the polishing touch on things.You would make a good editor, detective, or accountant. When facts matter, you’re the person to call on.

What Office Supply Are You?

I’m not sure about the ‘accontant’ bit though – I was hoping I’d be a set of coloured pencils, lol ……
Have a go and see what office supply you are.

How often do you visit your blogging friends? Do you regularly go through your Blog Roll list? I don’t have a huge Blog Roll list on purpose, so I can take time to visit those I exchange links with. Although if I did have a long blog roll I’d still do my best to visit all of them and leave comments wherever possible. I enjoy finding new posts and one post in particular at The Tall Poppy made me laugh.

Upon my visit to this lovely blogging friend I came across a post that …. well, was different from her usual posts. The Case of the Horny Snails  is a light hearted post and a total change from serious matters or business. We all need time to have a bit of a laugh at things and although this has nothing to do with work or being creative it is a pleasant post to read … with some added information about snails

Do pop over & have a read yourself – I’m sure you’ll have a little giggle yourself.

Also, don’t forget to visit your blogging friends regularly and leave comments from time to time…. it makes the blogging world go round.

Ciao for now
