Wow, that's great! Children are a hazard to chocolate safekeeping, though, aren't they? Bad Evo Child, bad! :smile:
 
Oh, goodie! I tried to send enough that you'd have some to share. I can't believe it got there so fast. Happy very early birthday! :smile:

It's just payback when I do that to my Mom. It wasn't until I moved out of the house that I discovered chocolate Easter bunnies come with ears.:biggrin:
 
It was so funny, she's sitting tearing through all this bubble wrap and goes "oh, someone sent you a package". It's someone in California. (she has chocolate smeared all over her face) Oh, here, this stuff is really good. There was a card, but I wasn't paying attention and almost hit someone and everything went flying, but I'll find it.

How many pounds did you figure that would take? Must have been expensive to ship!
 
Force of child attraction to chocolate= 10^15*G*mass of chocolate^2/ (distance^2)

As child gets close to chocolate almost impossible to pull child away, thus formula is acceptable :smile:
 
So what does one have to do to have chocolate sent to one's house?

Nah. I just told the mailman it was for a beautiful woman about to throw herself to the mountain lions and he did it for free.

I only considered simple accounting. Chocolate Evo gets = 1/3 of chocolate sent. Therefore, send 3 bars.

I suppose if you want the chocolate to actually reach you, the answer is...um.. don't have children?:biggrin:

And as he delivered the chocolate he threw himself to the lions to save the Evo! How romantic.
Did you get to see if he held his fork properly Evo?

If you send chocolate to South Florida in the middle of July, would it not melt in the mailbox or during shipment?
 
  • #14
