P.S. Couldn't really say John Candy or that would have
completely given it away.

Crickets, airports (not planes), spiders, losing my kids...
About Your Candy
Just wondering if you have a website regarding your candy business. ?
Arm Candy
You just have to enforce with him there are consequences to every action. Have a real heart to heart with him. Use Levi and Palin's daughter as a perfect example of young love. Remind him all the weight-watching, college, etc. will be down the drain if he makes a mistake. Then remind him of AIDS and all the other STD's that last a lifetime and encourage him to use protection. When the hormones are raging and the girls are falling all over them they need to be reminded. Just do it in a way that he knows you are not saying he is stupid but that you don't want to see him a mistake that could change/mess up his life for a long time.
Candy making
I use chocolate bark to dip with. I do know you have to watch the humidity outside. If the humidity is high, the chocolate will not set, but you can put it in the refrigerator to get it to set. Have fun!!
candy making
Aww, my favorite time of year. You can freeze your candy and it will still be good until Christmas. I make chocolate and peanut butter fudge and freeze it. As a matter of fact, it is really good frozen, takes longer to eat, just melts in your mouth. I have to disguise the candy in the freezer, otherwise people will pick at it and it will be gone by Christmas. YUM!
Candy and website
I am working on getting it back up and running...tell me what your interested in and I will send you some pics.
Oh, he is mostly arm candy and he is a looker!
Actually when it comes to money I have more than him so maybe I might find someone even younger than him but I doubt that. I never doubt his love for 1 minute.
I got 5 pounds of chocolate candy
Hubby remembered one night...just 1 night...and can't remember when, that I was so hungry for a piece of chocolate, he gave me 5 pounds of chocolate for Christmas!!! I love chocolate but not that much!!!! I think he wants me to get fat. 
I ate 2 pieces so far since Christmas. Hmmmmmmmmmm, think I'll go grab a piece now. It seems to be calling me.
I transcribed a Candy Caine once. sm
There was a doctor in the town I used to transcribe for named Dr. VonSick. Ironic?
There is an accounting firm in the next town over named Cheatham and Goleno. Cheat em? Not my accountant!
I went to school with a Candy Kiss = sm
She dropped out of school in 10th grade and married a man whose last name was Kowalski.
Do you keep a candy dish on your desk?
What's inside it?
I have one on my desk, but it usually only has sugar-free gum in it. Boring I know, but I hate it when my kids get cavities and since they raid my dish all the time, I have to take precautions.  I also don't want to tempt myself all day long with sugar. Sometimes I get sugar-free Werther's candy or sugar-free lemonade candy but those bags are so tiny they don't last long.
Halloween candy warning
HALLOWEEN CANDY RECALLED
There is a new warning put out by the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency....
Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate coins are being
recalled due to the fact that they contain Mel amine, the ingredient in milk
product that has caused many infant deaths in china. These candies are
sold at Costco, as well as many bulk and dollar stores. please make sure to
check your childrens halloween candy and DO NOT LET THEM EAT THE
PIRATE COINS (you know the ones wrapped in the shiny gold foil) and
please let other parents know about this!
Christmas candy ideas
My husband and I make about 30 tins of candy each year to give to family and friends. We make chocolate covered cherries (just dip cherries in melted chocolate), white chocolate covered pretzels with red and green chocolate drizzled on top, turtles (I buy a 5 lb chunk of caramel), buckeyes (peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate), peanut butter kiss cookies, mixed nut clusters dipped in chocolate and peanut butter fudge. All of it is pretty simple, just time consuming. My family really looks forward to receiving it each year. I use a double boiler for melting chocolate. I haven't had much luck in the microwave. If you would like specific instructions for any of the above, feel free to e-mail me. I think the kids could do a lot of the dipping to help out.
Candy making question
If I make some candy would it still be good for Christmas? I'm going to make those Peanut Butter Bon Bons today.
How do you make you choolate chips and paraffin wax to dip them in? I can't remember how many choc chips I used before, but one time the candy didn't get as hard as it should.
I always keep these in the fridge anyway.
Is there a local candy making store?
 They may have them, but not sure. I'm in Delaware, but we have a store that carries all kinds of little things to make your own candy. I do remember seeing cinnamon chips, and I wonder where they went? I wonder if you also tried Hershey's website for them or other websites. I wonder if you Google cinnamon chips???? just a thought....
What's your favorite Christmas treat/candy, etc?
Mine are the 'chocolate oranges' and Andes mints.
For homemade stuff, can't beat fudge, Chex mix and Christmas sugar cookies.
What're your favorites?
Or hard candy clicking around in their mouths, nm

And bring lots of candy gelt.

Try reaching for a stick of gum or a piece of hard candy.
The doctor I work for prescribes Chantix and it has been very successful for many patients.
What is everyone giving out to trick-or-treaters? Beside the standard candy? nm
!
I know..that is why the inside of my post says staff is getting cookies/candy..nm

How about a big fresh and dried fruit and candy basket? nm

Ick, DD got a candy apple at Rocky Mtn Choc. Factory & it had a worm in it.

St. John's wort
Does anyone take this and if so, has it worked? I hate taking prescription antidepressants (made me way too tired, etc.) so was wondering if this helps.
John Bon Jovi
See now I think he's really hot now. LOL. I remember reading that his wife was his high school sweetheart. I agree with you there though...I dont think that great either.
Oh, and Richard Gere's father was my insurance agent. He doesn't live far from my house.
John Lennon
Well, you didn't specify if they had to be alive or not, so I'm gonna fantasize for a moment here. If he did knock on my door the first order of business would be to wet myself. Then I'd b*tch slap him for the whole Yoko thing. Then I'd smack him again for getting himself killed strictly because he went the Yoko route and went all retarded on us. Then I'd shut the door, turn around, walk to the phone and call the crisis hotline because someone had obviously tainted my Crystal Light with Crystal Meth.
John Adams - HBO
Is anyone watching the John Adams series on HBO and if so what do you think? I thinks its by far one of the best shows I have ever seen. We saw the first three shows during the HBO free preview weekend and ordered HBO just so we could continue watching.
Throughout my school days I detested history. Found it to be quite dull. All I remember was having to memorize dates but don't remember a thing about learning about the people or times (although I'm sure I must have). Now I can't get enough history and search every site I can think of to learn what I almost failed in school.
Just wonder what your thoughts are about the show.
Where is John's head? (sm)
It's in his crotch.
I just saw John and his family on the
Today show. What a wonderful man with such a beautiful family. The picture of little Adam in the baseball cap holding the bat is just precious. So much good has been done in Adam's name. They are amazing people.
John Travolta is gay????
This is the first I'm hearing this. Is this true or just speculation?
John Stamos!!! nm

One time our neighbor's kids fed our German shepherd candy corn while she was out on her run.
I was out in the driveway washing our car at the time, and I saw them playing with her, but then saw what they were feeding her. She then came inside and threw up yellow and orange all over our beige carpet. Thankfully we own a really good carpet steam cleaner!
Saw John Edwards in Las Vegas
not that thrilled, no time for most of the audience, accepted very few questions from very few folks so would have felt better if more able to participate than say 4 or 5 for the total time.
John Bongiovi (aka Jon Bon Jovi)

I'm still standing - Elton John

If you google John and his lover,
you probably are going to pick up a man's name (as in the nanny you speak of). I knew the police were already involved. I am sorry for John and his wife as far as the loss of their child but there are very odd things going on here.
I forgot about John Gage!
He really is cute. I like Kurt Russell, too, and luckily he's still working and I can see him once in awhile.
Does he like Uncle John's sausage? sm
I can't remember where you said y'all were now, but that is definitely a local thing. Their plant is in Brandon. Anyway, they are also available online but the shipping is very expensive. They are the ones that make the mojo sausage (and other fresh sausage) and sell it to Sweetbay/Kash N Karry stores.
But John Corbett is one good looking

SF ice pops, jelly beans, other hard candy. And baby carrots with almond

John Edwards and Sylvia Browne
I used to watch John Edwards, but he's no longer on TV in my area. I do watch Montel when Sylvia is on every chance I get. I have tried to get on the shows from time to time, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm trying to find a more local psychic, but the nearest one is 30 miles away and I no longer have a vehicle and none of my friends or even hubby would go with me.
I also find brand new shiny pennies lying face up on the ground a lot of times.
When our grandson was very young, about 4 yo, he wanted my husband to push him on the swing. My hubby was tired from working all day and told him he would do it tomorrow. The grandson looked him straight in the eye and said, "When you were young, I used to push you all the time." That stopped hubby in his tracks. (His father used to push him on the swing.) Hubby spent the next 2 hours pushing our grandson on the swing.
I could go on and on on some of my experiences, but all I can say is that I'm happy they happen. It makes me feel good that they are watching over us.
Just wish they would give me some good numbers to playthe lotto.
I believe we read the John Gray books because that was what was out then, but -
I think Dr. Phil's books are better and more practical. We got the relationship book when it came out to see if there was anything else we could work on. Go to counseling and REALLY work on it. It will work if you give it a chance (for the most part). I will tell you there were couples in our class who were FAR worse off than we were who said at the end they never felt closer. Not sure where they are at now, but I know for a fact my hubby and I have never been closer or happier. Remember, put as much effort into your anger, resentment, etc., as you do into cultivating a good relationship. Most of the time men are clueless the little things they do harden our hearts to them and are very open to doing what it takes to make us happy once they find out what we want and need. Good luck to you. :-)
IMO, John Hancock is the company to call.
They have some GREAT plans they will explain to you. I'm working with somebody there right now because my dad's retirement turned out so great (using them). Good luck.
John Assaraf's nauseating statement about that
He was on Larry King promoting the theory that you wish everything into your life.
Larry King asked this man if Jessica Lunsford wished her torture and murder into her life, if this is his theory.
The man paused a moment and then said, "Yes."
Made me sick.
I understand dwelling on the positive aspects of your life and they become more apparent to you. However, to think you simply "wish" something into existence is the biggest pile of manure for people to fall for.
Especially to say that every baby, child, teenager, woman, man ever abused, tortured, murdered WISHED THIS ON THEMSELVES.
Ludicrous.
you DO mean John Edwards' wife Elizabeth?
