Thank you so much for playing! You are such an interesting person. We do share a love for the chocolate; I wish that I could have chocolate every day. I once dated a man who told me that he didn't really care for chocolate; I just lost all interest in him. Clearly, there must have been something wrong with him! Love the George Clooney idea. When we become billionaires, you and I can double date with George Clooney and Denzel Washington.--Sheria
I enjoyed seeing your answers, Yasmin! Chocolate and olives? I think we are kindred spirits!
:)

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement that you left me on my journal today. I love dolphins too. I have not had the chance to swim with them but have been able to get in the water with them, and pet them. It was an amazing experience.
Best Wishes
