Wild swings are for Tarzan, imo. When it comes to wild

You mean Caesar Salad? Too many points unless the dressing
is on the side (G)

I recall that tree, too well. But originally I could not see
the forest because of that tree.

I did forget, I got another "Stay and Succeed" charm (Joyce,
you want a charm for that bracelet?)

But that led to a bit of humor..... I was asked about why I
still attend and mentioned something about "substituting one
addiction (meetings) for another (food)" and one of the
regulars muttered somewhat under her breath, that "we will
probably all be here at age 90!"

That got me thinking and I guess the smirk on my face a few
minutes later (there were some intervening awards) led my
leader to ask what I was thinking? I replied: "Well, I heard
the age 90 mutter and that got me thinking, would we be able
to get weight credit for the artificial hips and
knees!!!!!?????" Okay, it was funny then and there as others
laughed pretty well!

Oops! I forget that not everyone shares my frame of
reference or worldview. My refenence to Caesar was in
response to your nod towards the Internal Revenue Service
and Tax Day (U.S.) tomorrow. From the Christian New
Testament, Matthew 22:21 "Give unto Caesar that which
belongs to Caesar...." VERY off-topic. Sorry.

Let's hope we're all still counting points and
receiving awards for Staying and Succeeding at age 90,
prostheses and all!

Congrats on the charm. An appropriate award for a charmer!

Yeah I know, and I appreciate it too. I am glad I am not
averaging any more the Monday after Easter (egg) Sunday was
very very ugly here. Luckily it dropped right off.

No, there's only one New Testament that I'm aware of. But
since I'd made the earlier mistake of not citing my source,
I thought the redundancy was appropriate. I can't recite
scripture chapter & verse either, but many references are
rather easy to google, especially phrases and terms that
have slipped into secular culture, as I thought that the
Caesar reference had.

Yes, having one's mental faculties at 90 would also be
excellent.

LOL! Sorry but I do have to laugh - eating those chocolate
bunnies reminds me of my littlest daughter. She loves only
one kind of chocolate bunnies ... made by Dove. BUT it HAS
to be the one that in the nutritional info it says
'serving size
= 1/4 bunny'. She spends hours contemplating whether to eat
= the ears, legs or
midsection ... what exactly is the 1/4 bunny. I think this
loses a bit in translation - but you wouldn't believe how
many stores I had to go to in order to buy the correct
chocolate ... and it WAS the first thing she checked out
when opening her easter basket.

So far I've been good with the easter chocolates, have been
limiting myself to one of the mini sized chocolates per day.
The balance of the chocolate cake I have not been as
successful with though. <sigh>
