    Welcome back! I hope you feel better. I heard of a neat drink on another web site called "Mein Gott's Blessing": coffee with a little chocolate, peppermint schnappes, and a dusting of cinnamon. That might be good for what ails ya!

    Richard, it's so good to see you back!!!! Were you easily amused??? Sorry you are feeling under the weather and I think it's about time you sat down by the fire and sipped on something strong. How about hot rum....with emphasis on the rum. That should kill all those germs.

    What's this about not liking fruitcake??? Now what would the Fruitcake Lady say about that??

    Cheers to Gini who is vacationing in Boston for two weeks. Brrrrr!!!

    Hi Momo!! Hi Karen!! Hi Smokey!!

    Richard, may I please have a shot of Grand Marnier.....warmed up??? It's chilly here too but we sure don't have the snow that Karen has.

    Cheers!!

    Hmm, that does sound good. Hi Richard. Nice to see you (hear from)
    you again.

    Fruitcake, no thanks. Anybody ever see "hard candy" being sold anywhere?
    Used to be a holiday staple.

    I got some just today at our Walmart's grocery store. They had both the regular Christmas hard candy and the filled kind. I got the filled kind.

    I hadn't seen that for years!!! We used to find it in our stockings when we were kids!!! Along with oranges and nuts!!! (and underwear)

    They have it in a special aisle with Christmas candy. It's in a can and called "Old Fashioned" candy. Guess they figured the PC police would get them if they called it Christmas candy any more!

    I couldn't find the kind we used to call ribbon candy. It was a hard candy that looked like a white ribbon with red in it.

    Happy Hunting!

    I remember the ribbon candy & also stick candy with green or red stripes.
    We didn't get much candy at all back then. Christmas & Halloween were the
    only times to get loads of candy.

    I got a Christmas card from Mario! Really! Thanks LB! That was too cute!

    I'm all candied out. Our clients have been more than generous this year. This afternoon at the office, even the gargantuan platter of smoked salmon was going uneaten - everyone is so stuffed full of sugar! So, I've brought some Christmas bagels and lox for Thursdays and a bucket of chocolate candy. Yes, Mario, you can have one, but only one. Enjoy, everyone!

    We have that at the one place I worked at... The Moravian Book Shop. It was in the "gourmet" section... Moravian Book Shop

    I think our Walgreens has some old fashioned candy too. I know I've seen the ribbon stuff around here.

    What can you recommend for someone going into Day 6 of their 8 day work week?
