Speechless Andy I am.
Have to be proper minted to afford one o' them! How about the 88lbs version! Recon that's why Margaret came to London this year......?

I am going on record as saying that is, possibly, the freakiest thing I have ever seen and I wouldn't want one within 100 yards of me!
And anyone who spends THAT much money on chocolate has more money than sense and deserves the bulging waistline that 88lbs of chocolate would deliver. :p

Your a COOL mum Gretchen.
Ha! For them. They are already requesting a Star Wars themed cake for their birthdays in April. I think they spend too much time with their dad.

Gods no! They give me the creeps. They look like some sort of weird genetic experiment! *shudders*
Mark wrote: "Me thinks they have been messing with goodreads again."Something about navigation bars. I don't have the update yet. Eventually everyone will get the update. I'm surprised they launched a new change so soon after the last one. People are still complaining about the last one.
I like the navigation bar. It stays on the top of the screen when scrolling, so I can hop to another place on the site without having to scroll back up to get to the top of the page again. That's neat.
Thoughts and prayers are with the people of Pakistan. :-(Hope you had a nice Easter all. Seems shallow to say that after the horror of Pakistan, but I think what better thing to do in the face of such a terrible act than think of others and wish them well in their own lives.
So I hope you all (who celebrate this holiday) are well and had a nice weekend. And those who don't celebrate the holiday, I wish you well also.

Brava!
Also Douglas Wilmer... who played Sherlock Holmes for the BBC many years ago, and also sent up the role in the Gene Wilder movie "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother".
Has anyone heard from Shannon Elizabeth; it's been a while since I've seen her on the ebook sale thread?

I just wanted to let you know I sucked at that. I mean I really, really sucked. Thanks Mark. ;)

All your books taken as a whole, it looks like Roman stuff isn't a high percentage--some, but not that many.
Another member shared this on a different thread and I thought I would share it here where I think more people will see it. For those of you who don't follow that thread, Shannon Elizabeth was constantly sharing great deals on e-books with everyone. I know I have bought quite a few books based on her finds. I didn't know her personally but I am sad knowing I won't ever see another one of her great finds. RIP friend.http://www.deberryfuneraldirectors.co...
Gretchen, thank you for letting us know. I had no idea she was fighting for her life. Her contributions to our conversations were bright & lively! She is missed.
