The Chocolate Calculator - Your age by Chocolate Math

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway -but the Hershey Man will know YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH (The only math I enjoy!)

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute . Work this out as you read . Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)


3. Add 5


4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator


5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 .. If you haven't, add 1758.


6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.


You should have a three digit number




The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).



The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Biggest Loser Upset!



Yay for Helen!! I had her in my scopes the entire season - she was the dark horse in the competition and eventually went on to win it all!!


At 48 Years Young she has been an inspiration for everyone, including all the over 40's out there!

And the AT HOME winner of Biggest Loser was Jerry - a 64 year old man who had collasped on the very first week on the show.

Kudos go to Tara, who was an amazing competitor and to Mike too!


Come on over to the Desire Blog today and surprise me with a comment!

THINGS THAT MADE YOU SAY HMMMM......

AT 5 MINUTES AND 6 SECONDS AFTER 4 A.M., ON THE 8TH OF JULY, THIS YEAR, THE TIME AND DATE WILL BE: 04:05:06 07-08-09


THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL THE YEAR 3009!!!



(I had a deep feeling that you just needed to know this) ;-) Aren't you glad I posted this?

Are you A Trekkie?

I'm not! But my hubby always watched Star Trek. In fact, it's one of those original TV shows that he'll watch over and over again. It's hard to imagine that Star Trek with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy ran for only four years, yet it, like the I Love Lucy show has endured with reruns for years.

So when Star Trek debuted this weekend, we decided to see it and to be honest we weren't expecting much. We'd seen the other Star Trek movies and weren't impressed. Somehow, those movies had lost the flavor and fun of the original series.

It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised. When we walked out of the theatre with smiles on our faces, my husband said, "They got it right this time."


And being a writer, I recognized the truth in that. This movie stayed true to the original and showed us how Captain Kirk came to be, how his mother and father had lived and died, but more importantly, the movie stayed true to the characters. Each and everyone of them must have studied the original actors. Bones was the best, then Scottie, Ohoura and even young Chekov brought smiles on our faces.

The actors who played Spock and Kirk were perfect. " This actor's resemblence to Spock is uncanny. You might recognize him as Sylar from the NBC show Heroes.

Kirk and Spock's chemistry was right, the writing superb, the action intense and Star Trek's own brand of humor was dead on! I even liked the little romance between Spock and ... no I won't spoil it. It's too much fun and the whole effort was such a joy to watch.

From across the aisle in the theatre you could see smiles on moviegoers faces. You heard their laughter mingling with your own. You realized that though the TV series of Star Trek ran only those four years, it was a show that impacted so many people for decades... and not just Trekkies!

What's more-- they left the ending open for more Star Trek movies to come. If they do it half as well, it will be worth seeing.

Have you seen it yet? Do you plan to? Did you ever watch the original series?
