[Gulp!](http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=573&ncid=757&e=1&u=/nm/20020912/od_nm/chocolate_dc) I’ll be treading lightly. ---

Or you can be smart and buy her some of this super-expensive chocolate. It’ll make the gift even that much more precious. Say, Lynn, will a five-pound box be enough? ---

Jesus! About half the women I’ve ever met are chocaholics running from devoted to ravenous fanatics! Guys, this is bad. This is _real_ bad. _Game over, man!!! Game OVER!!_ ---

“Don’t mess with Lynn Bodoni…” Hell, sounds like good advice to me. ---

Droughts, floods, swarms of locusts, war in the Middle East and now a _chocolate shortage_? Jezus. I’m building a bomb shelter. ---

Better make it sugar-free chocolate - I think she posted about being diabetic. (Which shows that I spend _waaay_ too much time here) 😃 ---

I love chocolate - don’t mess with me either! (although violating said proscription will bring about far _lesser_ penalties) - Heh. [Valrhona](http://www.valrhona.com/fr/menu/home-gen.php3?vlang=A) anyone? 🙂 ---

Even WORSE…for 8 days running now, my Internet connection has been off and on…mostly OFF. I thought my chocolate addiction was bad…it’s nothing compared to my online addiction. Sugar free chocolate sucks. I’d rather modify my diet and insulin and have some GOOD chocolate. ---

You could try what I do, Lynn. 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, then grab the desired chocolates, carefully calculate the carbs, scarf, and take the calculated amount of humalog. Or don’t do what I accidentally did. Miscalculate, take too much humalog, and have to keep popping Godiva chocolates regularly for an hour and a half to combat hypoglycemia! ---

I’ve been lucky enough to meet Lynn, and I hope she considers me a friend…as I consider HER a friend. She is a lovely, gracious, siamese cat-loving sweetie. Having said that, I wouldn’t be messing with her in the FAR future, either. Just saying. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by fluiddruid \* > \*\*Well, it **is** discussion of the administration of the SDMB… sort of. \*\* I thought criticism of the moderators went in the “PIT” and discussion of the administration went in “ATMB”. Personally I only mess with those types, when self-preservation is at stack and never just to make conversation. ---
