All right. I am throwing a scavenger hunt. First person that finds me Hershey's Cinnamon Chips wins. Can't find 'em in the local grocery stores, and online all I can find is large quantities, I just need a bag or two.

salsa,
yes it's pretty typical. I've been through a few home remodels and I'd say they all either took twice as long or cost twice as much....or both.
The most extensive started as a bathroom remodel only on a 3 story, 2b, 3 B house in Berkeley. At one point we were down to one room, everything else was being worked on.
It can also be very hard on a relationship so the fact yours & your sense of humor is intact...that's a good thing.
I vowed all I'd do is paint my condo but the floors and kitchen are abysmal so I don't think I can get away with not doing something whether I stay here and enjoy them or turn the joint.
oooh, I found out that a guy in my dojo is a triathlete, a burnt out triathlete, one who says he will never swim, run or......bike again....and he's 5'1".
He actually offered me his bikes; a Felt, Trek and a Cervelo and they are my size. I said "why don'tcha think about it, you may want to go again". Do I really need 6 bikes? I'd have to add another room

Harking back to the ADD/ADHD/actually normal kids coversation... Bright, active little boys who misbehave with no agenda other than their genuine desire to be out exploring and playing rather than sitting still are absolutely some of my favourite kids to teach - they always seem to have an individual and slightly zany perspective that is great fun.

You shouldn't have mentioned the Hershey Christmas lights - I would probably forgotten that you lived in PA if you hadn't.

You got it. PM me what you want and where to. They are great to drop in your hot chocolate too.
S.O.'s bro used to work for Hershey as an engineer and then as an exec. Now he is a CEO of a company that supplies cocoa to them. I have connections for some serious chocolate... I get tons for xmas every year. I love that guy!
How about some Wilbur Buds? Ask BMo3 how she likes them... Mmmmm. (so much better than Hershey) We also have an M&M Mars factory around here too and tons of independents. You have no idea how hard it is to live in this area when you're a chocoholic like myself.
Honestly, I don't know why I'm not at least 800lbs right now...

mmm Wilbur Buds..... in my former life I spent many many weekends in Myerstown over about a 7 yr period. Each trip usually included an afternoon excursion to Littitz & to visit the Wilbur chocloate factory. I half expected to see Lucy and Ethel in the back room there where they demonstrated chocolate dipping.

Wow, do you know just how many pounds of Wilbur Buds I need to order to justify the S/H? I gues I shall just need to eat them morning, noon, and night.

On Knot's iTunes this evening:
RuPaul's Christmas album "Ho Ho Ho" (pun, I'm sure, intentional)
No, I haven't even STARTED my essay for grad school. But I got a cute little purple thumb drive... does that count? And I figured out another person to beg to write me a reference letter.
And I went for a run and ate a lot of chocolate. Writer's prep, eh?
