Two squares are missing. Was it you? If so, did you enjoy?

Did my chocolate (or the last chocolate you enjoyed) have anything in it like nuts or crisped rice or raisins, etc?

Hey! Who ate my chocolate?

Two squares are missing. Was it you? If so, did you enjoy?

Did my chocolate (or the last chocolate you enjoyed) have anything in it like nuts or crisped rice or raisins, etc? No - just straight chocolately goodness.

Or what about an extra flavor like mint or orange or so on? Orange is good.

Extra Credit from the Clairvoyance Department:
Have you known or heard of anyone who had an unexplained feeling about something that came true? Me.

Please, give any details, observations or mental meanderings you care to share: I moved to Portland in '78 and I had this feeling that Mt. St. Helens was going to blow before long. That was before any activity started to stir warnings, and my husband used to poo-poo me, but I was certain I was right. And there have been other things....

Let's forget about it and have a Happy Thursday!

Thanks, BJH.

Hey! Who ate my chocolate?
Not me! I'm innocent.
Two squares are missing. Was it you? If so, did you enjoy?
I would have enjoyed it if it had really been chocolate and if I had eaten it.It's not even the right color for chocolate!
Did my chocolate (or the last chocolate you enjoyed) have anything in it like nuts or crisped rice or raisins, etc?
The last chocolate I enjoyed was Starbucks hot cocoa mix, and there was nothing in it but hot milk.
Or what about an extra flavor like mint or orange or so on?
I like Kahlua in hot chocolate. I also like mints covered in dark chocolate and those chocolate orange wedges wrapped in foil that come out around the holidays.
Extra Credit from the Clairvoyance Department:
Have you known or heard of anyone who had an unexplained feeling about something that came true?
Yes, I have a friend who often has premonitions.
Please, give any details, observations or mental meanderings you care to share:
My friend once had a premonition several days before a big race that a famous race horse was going to break a leg. He told his friends about it. (My friend, not the horse! ) Sure enough, that's exactly what happened. The horse survived, but his racing career was over.

Thanks for the chocolaty good questions, bjh!
