I bet it is and if I got it I could start a quest for my cherry ripe recipe, which like I get you enjoy the taste of candy where you grow up sorta (so I like Belgian chocolate and like, violet crumbles even though they are a little bit gross) but HOW Australia found a way to make candied cherries, coconut and chocolate taste good together totally escapes me.

Although the recipe calls for cherry, so like, I don't know what to do about that,. LOL.

I heard MOLINBERRY red cherry is the best by a cherry “seeker”. Have you tried that one?

Reminds me of what I witnessed on my way to the corner store yesterday. 2 mothers having a chat in a front yard just down the street from me. They were a good 15 feet apart so guess we could say they were practicing social distancing. 2 children were also present, about 3 or 4 years old so still in that human larva stage as my cat likes to refer to them as. One mother had a bubble making machine, blowing bubbles in the air for the sprogs to chase...as sprogs do. But every time they got close to one another, the mothers would belt out “THATS NOT 6 FEET”, like the kids who are just being kids understands that. You do not want your kids to play together, then stop blowing bubbles for them to chase together. Felt compelled to say something, but bit my tongue and just carried on.
Bubbles seem like they'd be great carriers of the virus.

I need to go pick up a few things this weekend for all of us. But I don’t want to leave my house. Today I work in the yard. My son and I dug up the canna lillies I no longer want a few weeks ago but some came back. What a mistake planting those...they take over and I didn’t put them in the right place in my yard. Thankfully we don’t have to cut grass yet. More storms are coming tomorrow.

I moved some cannas to a different place in my yard once. It took 3 or 4 years of mowing before they stopped coming back up. I have them along the edge of the lawn now. I do like them but they are a magnet for weed trees and poison ivy. I mow them down in the spring and fall, and sometimes after they finish flowering, just to cut down on the weeding. I put them there to replace a kerria hedge that I got tired of weeding. There are woods across the road so lots of weed seeds blowing around.

My big box of tp came in yesterday. I really like it...it reminds me of my normal Scott tissue. Once this virus mess is over I may switch to this, and it’s cheaper. I tried the cottonelle and it’s just too thick and not as soft as I thought it would be. I separate the two ply sheets and I can finally get a good crumple. :lol: Oh I’m thankful I have it...just not my favorite.

Nothing like a fried bologna sandwich. Yum.

No one can help anyone with cherry. LOL. I went there but it seems so crazy to spend that much on shipping for one 10 ml flavor. I will survive.

My mom just texted me, "Did you go look at the land yet?" LOL I was like no, dude, I almost passed out in Walmart the other day, it's a 5 hour drive from here, the husband had to fix his major error in thinking our first check does not go through the mortgage co for like, a month. I also had to fix my FMLA-- fixed. I told her I talked to the agent and she is very nice and says no one else has interest and we are going TOMORROW. I guess the good news is a well digging estimate is like, free.

My mom is more efficient than most robots or even Switzerland she would have that land in her possession.

Just booked a hotel for tomorrow. We should go, probably. In any case that flavor site is a rabbit hole and like, I could not stomach the shipping for ONE flavor, etc.

    Frying makes bologna taste better just like it does for Spam.

    We just dig up the bulb with the plant...but they multiply like crazy. I’m throwing mine away. I liked them when they flowered but it seems they didn’t flower enough. Big red flowers. I planted them right beside my fence and it was a mistake.

    Yeah. The only way that works is to plant them where you can mow around them on all sides. Otherwise they will spread.

    Well I got all my tanks coiled and wicked. I have two sitting empty waiting for new flavors but 2 packages of flavoring are still lost in space. I'm sure the vendors will replace them if they are lost permanently but right now would be a good time to get them while I'm locked in with nothing to do. Can't even mow the lawn. It rained all day yesterday and the grass is too wet. Then it's due to start raining again tomorrow and not let up for a week.

    When I lived up in the mountains we had a saying "there is no spring or fall... it's either summer or winter" ;)
    I’m beginning to think summer is never coming. I’m so tired of being cold. I can never get enough layers on.

    VTA is very much Dark Chocolate. IMO it tastes like the real thing.
    That and (WF) Chocolate chunks (semi-sweet) If you already have a chocolate, you can add (FA) Cocoa... (basically cocoa powder, no sweetness) but it does tend to clog coils.

    I use my PayPal account to print shipping labels. It is calculated by weight. Anything under a pound is fairly inexpensive to ship. If it’s heavy then a flat rate box might be cheaper.
    Great. So I can re-use bubble wrap that I saved from other orders? I will cover any previous labels with my own. It will be under a pound.

    No reason why you can't reuse bubblewrap.

    There most CERTAINLY is you have to STOMP on it! :lol::lol:

    But yes, if you have self control, you can like, reuse bubble wrap. I have sent flavors to folks through the mail and have gotten paranoid they will leak or break but they never have.

    And I am a VERY POOR WRAPPER of things, like the WORST ever.

    OKAY almost done with second cup of coffee then it is bathing PLUS one chore. Probably a brief packing episode and doing my med box. I'm not going ANYPLACE without a week supply of meds and similarly I will not take them all .Something easy like that. Then, the Yoga oh Yes the Yoga. Oy.
