wanted rudbeckia hot chocolate anyone have any of these to trade let me know, my e-mail is on my page, along with a few things i have to trade!! i hope someone out there has lil guys

My most favorite I no longer have access to. When we were staying in Holland (the Netherlands) for better part of a year, we ventured into Belgium on occasion and found that the REAL chocolate is made there! It is so unbelievably delicious and more intense and smooth and dreamy compared to what we're use to here. Their *bon bons* are made without any preservatives and must be eaten within a week! And, with us--we never made it out of the Leonidas chocolatier shop with the box we purchased--and it IS expensive!!! If any of our friends in Holland knew we were going to Belgium, they shoved money in our pockets to get them some ! It's no wonder they were so frantic to get it! Now the worst chocolate? That's hard to say since any chocolate is better than no chocolate--unless it's some of those waxy tasteless varieties that I can't think of the names of! I just did a *search* and see that they have a branch in New York!! Oh my word!!! I wonder if it's the same quality being in *our* hands?? I might just have to find out!!!! Here is a link that might be useful: Best chocolate ever!

I emailed my contact asking him for clarification on what he said vs. what's printed on the back of the sample. (see below) I don't know what all the little hash marks & such mean, but all in all I am satisfied with his answer to this and the many other questions I've asked. We will be moving forward on the job with this provider. We feel good about it. He's presented himself very professionally and I think we're going to be very pleased with the end result. I'll be sure to repost when it's all finished so y'all can see what we got. :) Thanks for the help! Here's what he had to say: "I was mistaken in that particular product as to the length size. The chocolate cherry is 12"-47" which is still a beautiful floor. The checker board look is caused by poor installation. When we install a floor we are very particular with how it is laid out to avoid what we call stair steps: ------I and H patterns ------I---------------I which makes the floor look "checker board". ------I I-------------I------------- -------I ------I---------------I Hope that helps,

Mine go like this: 1) Decrease shopping at Target, and when I have to go, only go to the diapers, formula, milk aisles 2) Save more money, and stop wasting it on frivolous stuff. My goal for the year is to triple my savings account. 3) Lose weight- I know it is cliche to say this at New Years, but I've got to get rid of the baby weight from baby #2, I was half way there when I found out I was pregnant with baby #3, and now he's 6 months old, I need to stop making excuses because this is not a healthy weight for me and I feel it. 4) Be more patient with my children. I love them to pieces, but sometimes I lose my patience after hearing mommy, mommy! for the 9,000th time in a day 5) Go to Italy to visit our extended family. DH's Nonna will not be on this earth much longer, and we want her to meet her great grandson. This resolution also includes, conquer my fear of flying and dying in a plane crash. 6) And my final, is to have more sex. I read somewhere last year about a bunch of people that committed to doing it every day and it did wonders for them, An added benefit is it will burn more calories, and it keeps DH happier, and keeps us closer. I am not telling him this, I'm just gong to do it. Sorry it's so long, I've probably bored all of you.
