I was also hoping IKEA would sell Plopps but so far, my investigations have proved futile. <br />I can't even eat their meatballs any more as they found out they were made of horse meat, meh. <br />I am very much enjoying my American book, 'The Art of Fielding'. Can you believe the author is called Chad??? Can't get more American than that. I wish I had gone to an American college and joined a sorority. Such fun! <br />x<br />p.s. When I was living in Norway, I once said goodbye to my hosts and thanked them for a lovely evening, in Norwegian. They fell about laughing. Apparently I told them I was going to stab myself, right here, right now. Most odd.

I must google this item at once. Hopefully they're allowed on the Swank Diet. I suspect bacon butties are NOT - but my husband just said he'd snatch it right out of the care package, so that problem is solved! (Do you think they travel well?)<br />Not surprisingly, I am amused by Plopps. So sad.

I hope hope hope things turn out okay. <br /><br />That is amazing the things your great aunt (and you) could remember. I dunno, as someone who really struggles with memory, I think it'd be great. Of course, you remember all the bad with the good, I suppose. I do remember a spelling bee in 4th grade (?). The word that made me lose -- I was soooo close to glorious victory -- was prairie.

Maybe I could send you a 'care package' - could pack some Maltesers, pork scratchings, bombay mix and a bacon buttie for you!<br />Do you know in Sweden, they have chocolates called 'Plopp'?

My partner has, after removal of over 14 teeth, the stomach flu trip to hospital, now the precursor to that flesh eating disease...possibly, if the antibotics don't work...we will know more tomorrow. I swear, I want to wrap her in bubble wrap. UGH. OK, I have an incredible memory. It always sounds like bragging, but it is just fascinating to me and a gene thing because my great aunt who lived to 103 was the same. She remembered the Titanic sinking day and how the papr boy ran down her street. She could recall dates, taxes, addresses of every house she ever owned. I remember my 2nd year---well. It is what it is. (I thought it was the norm) I think the Internet has screwed with my memory---so much trivia. I find myself intentionally forgetting and I am a horrible speller. (why can't I recall words? Well, I HATED school spelling bees, especially after I started winning them. I think my brain is rebelling.)Diane J Standifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862850657925658079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-41123840275586070532013-03-14T17:22:58.268-04:002013-03-14T17:22:58.268-04:00Thank you, EC.
