    talk about death by chocolate. :shut:

    ...I could imagine lots of worse ways to pass away.

    Death by Boola Boola!


    is that anything like a kracken or a choothloo? :)

    It's an old joke told by many comedians along the same vein as "The Aristocrats".

    Basically two explorers in the jungle are captured by the indigenous people and brought before their leader for trespassing on their sacred ground. The chief gives the explorers a choice, Boola Boola or Death!!!

    Well the first explorer doesn't want to die so he chooses Boola Boola. The comedian will then go on to tell how the entire tribe performs the most outrageous and disgusting acts upon the hapless explorer.

    After they finish with him the choice is given to the second explorer and he's all "Hell, nothing can be worse than what I just witnessed. I choose DEATH!"

    To which the chief exclaims with great triumph "Very well... DEATH... by BOOLA BOOLA!"

    Wow! Well I'm from the land of coffee from Brazil.
    I love coffee. I can not live without coffee ... But only the traditional coffee: coffee powder + water and a little sugar ... At last a Marly coffee.

    those coffees have more fat than a pod of Arctic whales eating a school of lard. Grab a celery stick...
    ...you'll be glad you did!

    Man, I would honestly strangle someone for a diet soda right now, but I'm denying myself that again today.

    Godiva can bite my garters, as a character from one of my favorite games would say. Like See's they offer ONE no-sugar option, and like See's it is sweetened with maltitol; but theirs costs half again as much as See's. Thbbbt to those guys.

    Fat is a problem for me. I can substitute sugar in a lot of dessert recipes but that still leaves them containing a looooot of butter or margarine (which are not really better one than the other if you look at their labels). Mainly I'm going to have to exercise more self-discipline about making homemade treats and just eat fruit instead.

    What teas do you like?
    Try lapsang souchong. You'll either hate it or you'll love it, I don't think there's any inbetween. It was great stuff back before I cut out all my caffeine.

    I'm gonna take a pic of this one isle at the supermarket and post in here. I will call it "High Explosives Isle for Diabetics"
    It's, well it's just the *CANDY ISLE!* ok? No biggie dah. Just the candy isle. I push my squeaky cart through it, I will not
    avoid it like the plague, I will not suffer any sort of breakdown. I will merely pass through the isle and escape unharmed.
    Nothing from that isle will automagically jump into my cart, nor will my hand reach for the York Minis or Hersheys Minis
    on autopilot. I don't use sugar anymore. I do use Splenda. So I am a cancer survivor and a diabetic. Lots of you folks
    have me beat, no two ways about it. But it isn't you living in this 60 year old body. Yeah some of you wish you could DO
    60 again too! Still, it's just me in here. I have cut so much out for heart and blood pressure. Then for diabetes. THEN for
    the cancer thing. I'm a little nervous now wondering what else I'll be blindsided with. We do the best we can with what we
    got peoples!
    I go out for a special meal once a month. More like twice. I like to have a steak dinner. I will have water, coffee and Coca-Cola
    with my meal. Yeah its really decadent getting a slab of thick red juicy BEEF. With a baked potato side and sour cream.
    Green salad. But it's the candy I am learning to live without. Its harder to give up than smoking was, and I smoked for over 35 years!
    I am not giving up COFFEE. That is my one daily dose of decadence. Maybe twice a year I do some Hersheys. And it will end up
    in my coffee too. That's Christmas time. :o)

    That actually sounds good. I eat fruits too. Just no apple anything. Sigh. Not yet. I do have fruits with cottage cheese. That's pretty good!
    Miracle Whip and pineapple sammiches! Miracle Whip and Banana sammiches! Peanut Butter and Banana sammiches! Mmmmmm! :-P

    I love cole slaw, green salads, fruit salads. There are lots of great things to have with poppy seed dressing too. Like grape tomatoes! With avacadoes!

    Talk about blowing the diet up. Them lovely green grenades of flavor do it right!

    Merry Christmas!

    McG. :-)
