L. Marcus Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Re: The Last Word How about a nice cuppa hot cocoa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Re: The Last Word Not a bad suggestion, but I don't have any. My kids go through cocoa like it was free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Re: The Last Word My dad likes to tell people that when all us brothers -- four not-very-tiny teenage (or thereabouts) males -- were living at home, we went through something like five liters of milk per day and a one kilo pack of O'boy chocolate milk powder a week.

lemming Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Re: The Last Word When I started my growth spurt, it was a good thing I was the only child. I probably went in the 10-20k calorie daily and still didn't gain weight. Though some of that was growing up on a farm, but it did mean I had fairly fresh goat milk. (My grandmother would want to sell the extra, but the freshest, but my consumption was starting to catch up with the three goat production...)

lemming Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Re: The Last Word Almost answered this elsewhere... I bought $130 worth of whisky yesterday afternoon. Should last us a year. Well' date=' the good stuff, anyway.[/quote'] I notice the more expensive one's I go thru much slower. Just finished the last bottle I brought over from Scotland in 2000. However, the cheap stuff I get from Trader Joe's, Lismore Single Speyside, for $18 you can't beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or at least anything they would sell) I have to get it either in Arizona or Nevada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
