Sorry Dharma--didn't mean to turn your blog into a debate on the merit of Cadbury vs. Hershy... but we are in complete agreement...Cadbury is a far superior form of chocolaty goodness!

Politics and Prose: Waiting for My Life in Politics JoeUser Forums

Last night on the news the video cameras panned the street outside the DC bookshop Politics and Prose. The line had be three blocks long, and it looked like people had been standing for hours. Did I miss something? Was the new Harry Potter book being released and I had been oblivious to all the hype and drama? Thank goodness that was not the ca

Is it the same though? I thought Cadbury over here was made my Hershy--but if you'll endorse it, I'm on my way to Walmart tonight...it makes sense, Walmart just bought out Aldo--it's weird going into the grocery store over there and seeing the happy rollback faces! A little too much sharing of cultures if you ask me!

I'm going to go eat some chocolate now to see if I can get rid of the taste...... should have just started on the chocolate in the first place...what I wouldn't do for a nice Cadbury whole nut chocolate bar right now! Hmm...now I'm hungry!

70 p for the bus fare home in International JoeUser Forums

Guardian Journalist, Jonathan Freedland, wrote an article in the fall of 2000 in which he lamented the end of the peace process in the Middle East. Freedland is a quite clever journalist, and while I don't always agree with him, he does manage to put forth a well constructed argument on most occassions. This was no exception. As Freedland penned this colu

What? J-Lo isn't sexy? Next you're going to tell me that the serial engagement thing is a real turn off as well! She might be "skanky" but she looks a bit more real than most of the Hollywood/Pop Star types. But her butt is bound to get more jiggly with the pregnancy!

Trying to Earn Some Brownie Points with the Navy--Literally! in Misc JoeUser Forums

My brother just called. I'm not impressed. In fact, I'm almost livid. What in the world could he be thinking?? Apparently, while every other branch of the military is beefing up, the Navy is starting to cut back its on-shore resources in order to build a new fleet. This means that they are planning to lay off between 1,500

Floozie, I'm begining to think that you are are my mirror image. I was a vegetarian for much the same reason that you were vegan. I hated meat, wouldn't go near it, thought it tasted vile...blech! Then I moved to Dublin and lived on tomato soup and toast (and pints) for four months straight (it was a combination of bad cooking skills and no money). My parents came to visit and needless to say I was famished. We went out to dinner and much

I kept pretending that breaking up with my exboyfriend didn't bother me at all. But I've recently come to realize that it was simply a way of protecting my feelings because I knew that it really didn't bother him at all. As each day goes by, I prove my stupidity through hope That sums

OMG--this game is going to kill me. I'm listening to it on my computer because, of course, I can't head down to the pub in the middle of the afternoon--as much as I'd like to, my boss probably wouldn't be too terribly chuffed! Anyway, it's hard enough listening to a game and not watching it, but England is keeping me on the edge of my seat--are they trying to give me a heart at

The Wardie: Thanks for your reply. This article was more about the politics of JoeUser than about politics in general. Being that I'm not a Kerry supporter, I'd probably have a hard time adding to your list--this has also left me in quite a state about November's election. It may be a case of voting for a party rather than a person--quite frankly a sad state of affairs in my opinion</

Reply to good "instant" coffee in Cooking JoeUser Forums

Good coffee is worth it's weight in gold--especially good iced coffee. I've recently moved to Washington, DC and the coffee shops around here have the horrible notion that iced coffee is made by pour scalding hot coffee over ice cubes and then handing it to the customer. Ah, no...that just made luke warm really weak coffee thanks! There should be laws against bad coffee--it's very, very dangerous, as it puts me in a vile, murderous mood! <i
