I gave up chocolate 3 months ago because it was addictive (for me) and my doctor told me to cut back on sweets. The last time I binged on chocolate I felt like I was gonna die. I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. Then I found out last week that chocolate contains caffeine and a substance called theobromine. The latter of those two is a stimulant that causes heart palpitations, sweating and insomnia when consumed in large amounts.
If your dog accidentally consumes chocolate then the chemicals in it can actually kill your furry friend. And if chocolate can do those things to your dog just imagine what it can do to you. I like dark chocolate in moderation - I guess you just have to know when you have had enough. In your case if it was addictive and you couldn't stop eating it then you were right to quit - glad you are feeling better!
Dark chocolate is actually good for you, as long as you only eat a small amount (maybe 2 oz or so) [Apparently it has antioxidants]
You're right about dogs - don't give them any chocolate at all rEBnMZVFTdrKjDHtOvEC
Yap, me too.....in moderation.

I'm off to catch a few hours of sleep before the fireworks start (and wake me up). So, in advance, I'd like to wish everyone here all the best for the coming year. 2020. Who'd have thought? The world is not as good as I'd hoped it would be. It's a mess, quite frankly. I've found that a lot of melancholy has set in over the last few years of my life. However, there are still many good things out there, so let's try and hold on to those. My hope for the new year is that people try to be kinder towards each other.
Happy New Year, friends.

I don’t want the decade to end yet here we are. The decade was good and bad as every one is but in the end will be nostalgic for me and others, especially among my generation.
Happy Nee Years/New Decade guys, May it be good to you and your family.

Well, it’s now 2020... The year Nostradamus predicted the start of World War III. I love the smell of hostility in the morning.

Scotch bottles would have helped foretell the future far better. But once he discovered the light at the end of the tunnel was New Jersey he’d give up all that prophesizing stuff.

That was on our news here as well - so sorry to hear about it (at least the people who caused it were decent enough to come forward) - it's such a sad story
