Well > worth it!!!! all of these threads talking about food and chocolate and most excellent cookies / candies / etc... It all reminds me of a place called "The Gourmet Center" in San Fancisco. They import Biscoff stuff from Belgium, along with chocolate concoctions that are to *die* for. I can't find my catalog right now, but the number they put on my Visa statment is: 800-422-2924. Their stuff isn't that expensive, you get a lot of it, and it tastes *so* good. (I am partial to the Rendezvous cookies that have the dark chocolate on one side. Mmmmm.)

I know I'm not the cause, but I feel great empathy for anyone who finds herself in that kind of untenable situation. I met a birth mother today who made adoption plans for her baby 2 years ago, and although she is at peace with the decision, she still broke into tears as she discussed it. >(sorry about that, kittens on the keyboard . . .) *gasp* Just how many do you *have*, ladywench??! - -- Lori ******************************* "And when I go to sleep at night I hear someone else's song, sung by some Canadians and thousands sing along.

It was called North of the Border, it featured two Canadian Bands, not Moxy but they were great anyway. Mary Jane Lamond is a Scottish Gaelic singer who you might no as the vocalist on Ashley MacIsaac's Sleepy Maggie. She's a solo act now. All the songs are in Gaelic but very entertaining. They were followed by Great Big Sea. Moxy has opened from them This Band from Newfoundland has as much if not more energy than Moxy. I definitely reccomend them if they play near you. ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V2 #51 *******************************************
