Yes, not often, but sometimes. BTW, I have that exact pencil on my desk in front of me. :p

In my family these are the crown jewel of grapes, but are only available a few weeks a year. Cotton Candy grapes.

I've eaten a lot of grapes in my time, but until my helper bought these the other day, I'd never seen any shaped like these black ones!

For size perspective, I've put my trusty mechanical pencil in the second pic:

Have you ever seen such long grapes before?

Here in doodah they are calling them moon grapes. By far the best grape I've ever eaten. I love them... can't stay out of them.... can't eat just a few... only limited to consuming the amount purchased sort of love them.

Was looking through my dad's old Liberace records this morning, and it put me mind of having one's ankles smashed with a sledge hammer.

Care to enlighten me on how/why that connection was made? :thinking:
BTW I'm still in the UK for the time being.

Good. So you're away from the coronavirus epicenter. When do you head back to China? And how far away from Wuhan do you live?

One of my favourite movies, Misery. And it came to mind while looking through dad's and my late mum's records.

Yeh, well away. I shall probably go back to China in March sometim. I've already started work, we're teaching on-line. Normally I'm in Jinan, which is well away from Wuhan.

Oh, no! Some friend. :mad: I'm almost fanatically obsessed with not losing/breaking my pencil. I would be livid if a 'friend' took it.

When I came home from the hospital, the FIRST thing I looked for was my cherished lucky pencil. I knew I had left it on the dining room table, six months earlier, between a laptop and a Nikon. I didn't care about the laptop or camera! I just had to make sure my pencil hadn't 'walked' while I was gone, what with so many people going in and out of the house.

They would bring me videos of Joy Noelle--which I insisted on, to prove she was still there, and alive and healthy--but I never asked for videos of my pencil. :) I should have! What the hell, my husband, daughter, and others already think I'm nuts, so who cares?! :D

I am really insane of my pencils too, though if it is like a mutual friend like my brother in law, my friend, or my team Cap. They give it back to me, I kind of wondered how I picked up a sharpie from the bowling alley? Hmmm.... Maybe it was on accident.

Several years ago we bought some candy cotton grapes at a supermarket that has since shut down. A few days after shopping I got an urge for some grapes and when I went to get some I was told by the wife the mother n law had eaten the entire container :maddroid:
I went back to the store to get more only to be told they were out and were not planning on getting more:(:mad:
