Are you trying to say Cadbury is furrin candy? Next thing I know, you'll be saying that Toblerone isn't American, either.

indie. I brought a bag of Hershey chocolate back to the office in the UK. One person put a piece in her mouth and actually spit it out into the trash and went running to the restroom to wash her mouth out.

I thought you guys were supposed to be polite.

You should listen to this radio clip the BW is pregnant and her WH's OW is pregnant. The BW and WH do not live together. Dr. Harley says if both spouses are on board with MB in 35+ years it has always worked. If both aren't on board it will not work.

Cadburys in the US is actually made by Hershey. Made the vast mistake of buying a Hershey-made Dairy Milk in the states!

So no, it isn't foreign!

Oh poor thing! My reaction wasn't THAT violent. The same thing happens when you give British chocolate to continental Europeans. They think were phillistines who don't understand chocolate at all! I guess the chocolate you fall in love with as a kid is the chocolate you love forever smile

No you're right it is a disgrace that only some cadburys is made in UK, the rest in Poland. They got taken over by the evil Kraft a few years ago! The chocolate that inspired Charlie and the Chocolate Factory owned by Kraft and made in Poland!

Welcome back kiss. smile I hope you see the radio clip I posted for you about Dr. Harley saying both spouses have to be on board with MB for it to be successful. In 35+years he has seen it be 100% successful when both are on board.

For today's culinary adventure, I think I'm going to bake some melt-in-your-mouth Danish bread that I recently learned how to make. Anybody else hungry?

Neak, you are trouble.

I want to lose weight and I've already scoffed tonnes of chocolate and marshmallow since you hijaked this thread.

Now yummy bread? I'm already heading to the kitchen for pain au chocolat and I blame YOU

I doubt he'll be back. He was never serious about recovery.

He's not remotely serious. When he is, he'll be back. And we'll be waiting.

That may have sounded ominous. It's not....necessarily. grin

Seriously though, when he reaches the place where he understands that he's ALREADY LOST HIS FAMILY, chances are good that we'll see him on here again. His M is by no means hopeless yet; he needs to understand the gravity of what he's done.

I do, too. The window keeps narrowing for this thing to be saved, and still things keep coasting along toward Niagara Falls. It's still possible to row safely to shore, but it's way closer to the Point of No Return than I like to ever see anyone go.

I know, right.

It's scary to watch from afar.

Exactly.

I keep hearing the clip I posted of Dr. Harley saying in 35+ years the MB program is 100% successful when both spouses are on board.

It's like when you give your kid's advice and they go out and do their own thing and then come back wishing they had listened to you.

I tell them "welcome to making your own choices and learning." Part of being a parent and more frustrating when it's adults that you're dealing with. smirk
