More comments on black licorice.... Ironically, in today's mail, Yogi Tea Company sent me 2 sample teabags. One is Ginger, and the other is _________. You guessed it - Egyptian Licorice (warming and naturally spicy and sweet per the wrapper). My SP did not put licorice as favorite candy (that's a clue), so I will keep it until the June swap just in case I get a licorice connieuseur as my SP.

well i know this is not me 'cause the only insects i like are dead ones or those far away from me and on national geographic specials!
speaking of which there was a segment tonight on a news show about consuming insects for proteins because they are plentiful and fast producing. entomologists are working to get insects sold in grocery stores and on americans plates sometime in the near future.
there is a restaurant in trendy san francisco that serves them on the menu and yuppies were there eating them as if they were chips.
eewwwwww!!!!! yuk!!!!!
i feel a nightmare coming on tonight.

Wanda Lou I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. Please know that DH and I are praying for her and your family. Keep us updated on her condition. While I was in the hospital the 1st and 2nd time there was an older woman and her family there for her husband who had been in a motorcycle accident and had no brain activity and because of this he was only on life support and they were not doing anything to repair any injuries. They keep telling to prepare herself for the time to make the decision to turn life support off. I talked with her and her family daily while I was there sitting outside. On day 10 she said that she was his eye open and close. The doctors told her it didn't mean anything as he wouldn't do it on command and still no activity. On day 11 he did it again and she got the doctors in there to see it happen. This time he did it on command. She got her miracle. She never gave up on him. The last time I saw her she said that she would never put God on the self and dust him off when she needed again. I pray that your sister will come through this.

We have a fabric shop in Oregon, when you buy for them online they always inclose a tea back its USUALLY Earl Gray, but sometimes........I for one HATE black licorice. I love all other flavors, especially marionberry licorice, but black!!! Yuck!!
I have one box licorice spice in my cupboard because that's what my grandma loves to drink. But I won't!

What a beautiful package,Jean.
Robyn, I was just thinking of you yesterday, sorry to hear you are in the hospital, sending you prayers and positive thoughts.
Regarding licorice, I love it too, black, red of what have you, I'll eat it all. Come to think of it, there is not any candy that I don't like
Dear Pal: I went shopping for you today
Guess what I got you? Some thread. Didn't you want some? Don't panic though, I bought more than thread, how about some green fabric? Or red? Or purple? Ok one of these fabrics is mine, lol. But I did buy you some. I can't find any item that features what you collect, so I am making you a pin cushion that has it...hope you like it. Will be getting you some candy tomorrow or Monday and then in the mail it goes...are you working today?

Thumbs up to marionberry tea!!! Yummy. Until today, I have never even heard of licorice tea. It's good to learn something new everyday, even if it IS about tar tea.

Well, I am going to jump on the black licorice wagon. I love black licorice and have had the licorice tea before, too. With it heating up outside, I guess I will change my fav candy from chocolates to things like jelly beans, lemon drops, werthans butterscotch, good & plenty (black licorice), tootsie rolls, things like that.
Wanda Lou & Robin, prayers going out to you and your families.
I believe the computer problems was due to that big, bright full moon we had this weekend. I always hated working during the full moon. We had lots of violence and fires in our town over the week end. Some was very sad.
As for my SP, she hates one thing that I hate, SEAMRIPPERS. Her least fav color is my fav. She celebrates all holidays like I do. Thats all she gets for now.

I worked in a nursing home, and I swear EVERY single time there was a full moon all the people we were taking care of went wild.
