There is no need to disguise an attempt or any other mind game about it. You are a worker drone for your queen bee of consciousness. We didn't say that " let it be " wasn't an attempt at doing. You are so caught up on the *no* thing aspect that you perhaps forgot that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried Tropical Source brand chocolate? Or maybe Silk milk soya choloate (white wave brand)? I can't eat much of it though. Oh, I digress...... Up for a stroll down strawberry canyon? I hear the chocolate is delicious there.... and I hear you can eat all you want there and not gain an ounce..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
