I LOVE licorice. I have a dutch friend whose mother used to send her pounds of the stuff. Much better than twislers. Have you had the salt licorice?

I'll send you some in your care package Todd. Is the Australian licorice a soft one, tube shaped, with holes? Is it called Panda?
For some reason the price of licorice has gone way up.

Nams,
This licorice is made by Darrell Lea and is twisted like Twizzlers but larger diameter. It is very soft and very tasty. Austrailian licorice is supposed to be the best.

Nam,
The ceiling is leaking, clear visible good size drops in two points 'joined' by a 'line' of water. I noticed some water droops yesterday when I applied the last coat of gloss. I opened the area a little, like 20 cm. This morning I notice more water and I opened, took of the painting, it came of as a plastic, big pieces already separated from the ceiling. Most of the ceiling is humide and the repaired area is damped.
The bathroom upstairs underwent a major reparation, they took off the til, put new 'filling, changed plumbing...
I guess the plumber missed some leaking before the floor was closed. I don't know really.
I feel bad for him, he'll have to redo all again.

Todd,
What's your WW's job, besides making you suffer, I mean work?
Does she have a good salary?

Todd, there's a candy store not too far from me that carries lots of licorice. They had an Australian one but not twisted together. It was very good but last time I was there a few months ago they wanted over $10 a pound for it. Really now doesn't that seem a bit much? So back to Good n Plenty it is.
We'll have to ask BigK how much it costs him in Australia.
When I lived in Spain I could get a great bottle of red wine for the equivalent of $3. That same bottle here was $15. Now Spanish wines are all pretty expensive. I noticed when they changed over to the euro all things Spanish went up in price.

Nam,
:::::::::::
These are Las Mañanitas
that King David sang.
Today for being your birthday
we sang them to you.
Wake up, my beloved,
wake up.
Look it has dawned.
The little birds are already singing,
The moon is already hiden.
::::::::::
The song is longer but thats an attempt to translate the first part I posted to you.

Thank you larousse. I can tell you're a great big sweet heart, your BF is a lucky man.
Oh Todd really. As if my comment about Good n Plenty would make you blush. Let's see, you're good at math. I registered here 7/03, we had a fake recovery for one year. ex says he wants D almost a year to the day he first told me he wanted to D. He wanted "space" so no SF after our fake recovery. It's been a while...so yeah, if only I had THAT kind of Good n Plenty for my B-day.
My boys are home & in bed. Time for me too. 'night All.
We'll see if tomorrow brings any news from Pio...

Well it looks very clear that larousse is begging for the opportunity to call macho man plumber again. I bet she was drilling holes all night until she found the main.

If there's any way of marketing it, I say "Go for it". TT Sorry TuckTummy but I think the copyright expired on that story a few thousand years ago. I don't think I could claim the rights to market it.

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to work up the courage to make my first post. I never thought it would be about licorice!
Can I just ask you (ToddAC) where you found Darrel Lea licorice?
From looking back at your posts you are in America. Can you tell me what store you purchased it from? I went to Australia a long time ago and loved that product. I would love to be able to buy some.
Thank you and sorry to interrupt.
Beth

Pio - well done, friend. That was quite amusing and very sad - at the same time. I loved the line about her wardrobe.
