acts of desperation I know of people so desperate that they have picked up cigarette butts off the street in an attempt to get a couple of drags, or drink the dregs of other people's beers at parties. And I have turned up my nose at them.
But last night, I was craving chocolate so badly if I'd had enough petrol in my car (and a new battery) I would've woken the kids and gone to the 7-11. Imagine to my joy when I found a square of chocolate down the back of the recliner which wasn't even too linty! it was marabou orange crocquant - which I remember buying THIS year, (so it wasn't even that old!) | |

Well, about cigarettes I've never picked them off the street, but I have feverishly looked through a bag we had on the balcony that we tipped the ash and butts in to try to find one I'd only half smoked. | |

I do this all of the time. Of course, I don't drink strangers' drinks. They are always in my group. I even finished off Muse's beer when we went to SF. I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

You should always pick up loose change! As if one is too good to do it! I remember many a time when they turned the lights up at closing time, on my hands and knees scouring for coins. I collected $40 one night! It paid for the entire nights drinks! | |

How could people even move around in that place without slipping on a few of them? | |

They're usually an acquired taste. It took me a few years to learn to like them but now I love them. It's funny that people still call them dammsugare more than half a century after the type of vacuum cleaner that they resemble were taken out of production. . | |

I found a recipe for them on the internet and attempted to make them, bloody impossible to roll up, they crumbled to bits. tasted exactly like the bought ones though! | |
