Thanks Amy, You are great.
Cassie, We're missing you too! But having read "Mirror", if the reason you're not here is that you're halfway through writing a novel, we'll accept that!!JAC
ok, enough about this nonsense.... Did anyone read my comment???
Could I get some 'poor baby'"s because I cannot eat chocolate??
Thank you!!
Why can't you eat chocolate then?I'm not supposed to but do and then get sick. Whooops.... no will power at all!

Bahahahaha!!! I WISH I were busy writing... I've been busy editing and proofing mostly...and getting ready for Christmas...and trying to spend what little time I have left with my kids. Then I'll sneak in a little sleep here and there :-)...
I can't imagine a life without chocolate. I mean, oh my goodness.... :-( *shudder*
Patricia, you poor baby. I couldn't imagine a life without chocolate either. I've decided if Heaven doesn't have chocolate, I don't wanna go ;)
Too right. Chocolate helps with everything (and it goes with everything too). My condolences.
chocolate is the only reason men haven't been killed off during pms

It is unfortunate that Mrs. Splitter does not like chocolate.Splitter
Ack I'm sorry splitter, give her a puppy?

Noooo, really? See, when I find people who hate chocolate I often offer to take it off their hands (in a spirit of altruistic helpfulness you understand), but I think the postage would be a bit much in Mrs Splitter's case.JAC
I don't like chocolate. Funny they just had cupcaskes at the office and I had to explain again how I don't like chocolate.

That's so kind (my kind of altruistic helpfulness). I have to try that one myself.

Too right, and the lovely chocolate...
I love chocolate. It should be its own food group.

When people ask me what my favorite candy is, they're surprised when I say Jelly Belly Jelly Beans. They say, "What? Not chocolate?"
I say, "No, chocolate is not a candy. It's in its own food group." :)

Fun facts about chocolate:
Scientists say its not an aphrodisiac ( I say Wth do they know?)
Chocolate is actually a good masking agent for bad tasting foods and medicine.
The hell you say! lolScientists, what do they know about aphrodisiacs? Show me a scientist that looks like they've had their world rocked in the last month :).
You know what is an aphrodisiac? Jewelry. Must be some mineral hidden in gold and silver. Oh, and taking out the trash without being told to, that is almost as good as chocolate...but nowhere near as "can't miss" as jewelry.

Nah dude, Dyson is where it's at! Still waiting for someone to rock my world that way. Oh and the new iPhone, the itv when it comes out and a Mac ...just to name a few;)
Appliances and electrical gadgets...you will be fighting men off with a stick!Splitter
Nah. Won't even let then get that close.

Have you heard the song 'Business Time' by 'Flight of the Concords' (two New Zealand comedians)? Very funny, along the line of what helps to make it business time. I think taking out the rubbish gets a mention, can't remember chocolate being there though. And yesterday all this talk of chocolate drove me out of the house and into the nearest village to buy some!

I don't know... I'd take garbage duty or dishes or dusting over jewelry any day. Any time my hubby "works" around the house for me - very nice... :-)
And when we move the refrigerator out to clean behind it...c'mon, better than chocolate lol.Splitter

You do that?! Lucky Mrs Splitter! A sleep-in also comes close to chocolate (haven't had one in ten years! Not since the birth of my first child.)

No, but I hav been known to move furniture so she can vacuum.It makes no sense to me...who is going to see under the couch anyway?
I try not to ask too many questions...

Jewellry? Nope. Sleep-in is good though, esp if followed by leisurely breakfast and proper coffee made fresh.JAC

Oooooo sleep.... I thought it was but a myth!
My vote is for helping in cleaning. I don't have human children, just fur kids but they keep me hopping too. And chocolate IS a food group, the best one! Although I love my bread too...

You are always gone for so long I guess and your comments always make me laugh or smile.
FDL! (Fall down laughing, yes I made that one up) I dunno, I don't mean to be gone, it just happens that way. And annoys me to no end! I miss everyone here too. :( RL just gets in my way too much!The other day I decided to go find a pic I have of our pigs when I was a kid. I've yet to find it but will post it just for the hell of it, when I find it. We need some farm animal pics, heehee!

I love pigs....of the animal kind. Not the men kind.
Farm animals? I can certainly help there. My son bought a duckling at the markets today, despite the fact that we have had a duck explosion on our farm (3 in the first year, 21 the second and about 60 this year!). 'You can be the mother' he said. So kind. Add that to our 60 odd chooks, two dogs and two goats...
And you are a funny man Splitter. Personally I try not to look under our couch too often (who knows what manner of horrors lurk there?)

It's a bit chaotic at the moment. The ducks start quacking for breakfast at 5am, the chooks call for it around 6. So I'm up and at it, while the rest of the family sleep peacefully. I can't function well before I've had coffee (freshly ground of course, Jac!) But in between it's pretty blissful. I don't know if any of you have seen 'The Gormet Farmer' but we live in the same town.
As I'm typing this post 'Stormy' one of our ducks is walking past the front door with her twelve fluffy yellow ducklings. Very cute, very loud. :) Georgina.

Hayley - go ahead and create a thread for your blog! That would be great! We love for all members to create a thread for their blog then you can put all related posts in that thread - it keeps things neat! Thanks!

I'm stunned and proud;)
i must have missed the duck talk. There is a lot of comments since i was here last that i had to go through. lol.
@ Bill - oh heck no! This was not about you putting your stuff up in the group. I really do encourage that and I think it is wonderful that you guys do that!
But just to make it clear on what I mean by SPAMMING...You come in - you post "buy my book" in about 6 - 10 folders, never talk to anyone and only come in here to post more stuff about "BUY MY BOOK."
That is what I am calling spamming. For all of you who are in here and are a real part of the group - anyone who is looking for reviews, posting reviews, loving up on some reviews (wait, I may have gone too far on that one), please - pretty please - use this group the best you can. I hope that clears stuff up a little bit. :)
@ Hayley - If you have a blog that you want to pimp out a little bit - there is a folder for blogs, websites and things like that - feel free to make your own thread under that folder and let us know what is going on there!
There is also a special folder now for anyone with blogs, websites and such who are doing giveaways and want to share it with everyone.
