Gumby~"Sounds like you had a ball sparky. " I am working on spending more time with this one in particular. It seems to have helped a bit. She loves chocolate and knowing how to make something her classmates can't pronounce...well I think it did her some good!

Ah ...Thank you needsproof...
And smellsgood, get ready to turn green!
take bittersweet chocolate. A nice size block. Your local Wholefoods or central market carry some wonderful sins. bust into little pieces. Put it in the top of a double boiler, making sure that at no time do you get any water in the chocolate. when they melt, take off the boiler, stir in pure heavy cream that has been warmed to just below boil.
then mix in unsalted real butter and lastly pure vanilla. You can add in brandy, ammaretto etc...according to taste.
cool about 4 hours. Then scoop up and roll into balls. We did it by hand and stuffed with fruit. Roll in cocoa...normally not sweetened, but I work with a mess of ladies that would just probably puke if they had anything that did not come from chick filet. SO...I sweetened it a bit by using slightly sweetened cocoa and then powdered sugar. Cut fruit and in the morning I add a side tray of sliced cheese with horseradish in it and prusciutto. Water crackers.
You can do it. It was fun, and most delicious. I am sure they will get daintier with time.

Now I will get the really great chocolate and do it again. We bought midway to fine chocolate and tried our hand at it. They turned out really great. Then we pulled out the cameras and started playing with them. So I am sharing. Now Francis Coppella and the truffles will wait till tomorrow. Night all!

ok, i am going to ask if anyone has heard of mark a reynolds this fine new year.
he was in tyler, whitehouse tx area.
i know he has a father i never met that used to reside in colorado.
Wow, I'm wondering if this is possible- I don't know if I know of the same Mark Reynolds your talking about but does he have a younger brother named Brian- went by BJ.
I don't think so but does have a sister whose name starts with a B. BUT...I know he was from a remarried family. That could leave room...?
I never heard of a Brian. We were close friends a long time, that might be strange.
just a fluffy question ~~~.
were you a freak?
jock?
Now, I am telling you, I was a HUGE nerd. Goofy, backwards and a overlyshy at times and yet painfully goofy girl. I dropped out at 14 years old, first sememster of high school. I went from a straight A student to a straight F student. Life had gotten really bad. So I home schooled for 6 months maybe? I went from freshman to Sr in those 6 months. 2 classes from the end I never finished.
So I went back after marrying and two children later at 22 years old. I got my GED.
Last year I graduated with a Bachelors of Science/Business Administration. I think I will go back possibly for my masters ...Not sure in what by October. Just gotta do it.

YOU WERE FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!! STILL ARE!!!!!!!!
i went out to see my sister and my mom... when i got back she said she was leaving... when i asked why, she said she was weirded out by my lack of trust.... i couldnt trust her,, so i hid things... its not her fault, its not like i was lying or anything, but i mean some shit, i just didnt tell her... i am so used to being called names, lectured and torn apart for being 100% honest, that now, i still am scared to let anyone completely in... now the best thing that ever happened to me is gone... she left and im not sure shes ever coming back... and iom not sure who to blame.. i mean its obviously my fault, but did the borg put a fear of trusting into my heart and soul?
i guess i cant blame anyone but myself... but at this point, im so torn and hurt that im not sure what to do... all i know is that what was finally having the semblance of family to me is now gone... the first time i was able to live with someone and love someone, albeiut with an ingrained sense of distrust, has disappeared, probably never to return..... .
this has broken me, i don't know what i will be doing with myself for the next couple of days... i feel almost dead inside... the infamous one.
Heyya Creepy! Talk...talk talk...
She left, but she's not gone. ......Prove to her you can communicate. What is it that she feels is left out of and relay everything.
Invite her back, have a romantic dinner with her favorite flowers and some candles. (even if you have to order it out) and talk, talk, talk.
You will be ok.
r.
You never know how far talk can carry a life....a love.
