Oh dear, how we queers love serial monogamy! And so many of us also want marriage equality so badly that when we fall for someone, we start thinking big. Three years ago, I was quite madly in love with and then was to be wed to a genius drummer girl. We were together only three months when we announced our engagement. Our break-up could be contributed to youth, stupidity, and many of the things in my previous Sleeping With Money post, but also to the reason I warned against in my last post: her quitting more than one vice at simultaneously. It made her crazy. My trying deal with and care for Crazy turned me into a cold-hearted snake. I had an emotional affair with someone else. She couldn't keep a job. But we had a wedding to plan! And then, a wedding to cancel.

I know someone who has this so thats why I mention it and like people with Celiac (Wheat Allergy) it goes undiagnosed about 98% of the time and gets blamed on other things. On the other hand the original reason I was posting was to suggest you contact the company that makes your favorite Chocolate and find out who the local Wholesaler is and buy large bars or bags of pastilles at wholesale prices. I buy Cacao Barrys best (Barry also ownes Callebaut) at just over $4 a pound...granted its a case of 5 Five Kilo bars (55 lbs) but Chocolate has an Indefinate Shelf Life if stored properly...about 70 degrees and in the dark. But then again I make Chocolates so I usually have lots on hand..}:~D The Grade I'm paying $4 or so a pound for will Retail for around $50-$60 in a Chocolate Store. ~ Roland<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-50001">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Well until I read the part about you having a Sugar Allergy
