It also works for the mood depressing effect of fascists. In a country run by fascists, eating chocolate is good for you. Eat all you want - it's good for you.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Scientists verified years ago what most of us have known for ages. Chocolate does indeed help with depression. Around the same time, they verified that dark chocolate went with red wine. NSS!!! Of course, the idiots did not even mention Champagne. Utter barbarians!!!

Not for DOGS, in any amount. Those same Theobromide's are highly Toxic to dogs, especially the larger concentration in DARK chocolate......

I just bit the head off a turkey gobbler chocolate I found hiding in the chocolate closet. Seventy-five cents at the after-Thanksgiving sale at the grocery store.

Yes, I have a chocolate closet. Doesn't everyone?

I feel great!!!

1) meat & potatoes
2) pizza
3) coffee
4) chocolate.

Where are the vegetables, you ask? Well, coffee comes from a bean, so there you have it--a vegetable.

I've forgotten most of it, but the punchline was "Besides, I can buy my own damn candy!"

So thanks for this, it dredged up a good memory as a grass widow and determined to remain so.
