Ummm, Jean-

That would be me :oops: :oops:

I have a chocolate problem, really. I can't keep it in the house or I eat it constantly - as in *NO* self-control....

Mike was out of town last week and I managed to put away one of those large bags of Valentine M & Ms. I know I ate them all, cuz the kids don't know my hiding place and he was gone all week...

Everyone has their vice - I've never smoked or tried drugs, and I drink maybe 1 glass of wine/month - but I put away more than my share of chocolate...and if I find myself suddenly *intolerant* I honestly don't think I could give it up!!

I have definitely eaten more than one person's 12 # of chocolate but am now carefully watching my intake of everything. If I can give up cigars - for the most part - I can give up chocolate. Boo Hoo.

Love, Maggie

Mags!

I never thought I'd see the day when you'd say that! Congrats and condolences. I KNOW you will be going through a full-blown grief reaction. Sigh.

Hugz,
