. - maybe I'll try that first.A favorite realtor trick for open houses is to bake some chocolate chip cookies - but then again I don't want to ruin my appetite for chocolate chip cookies.

When I had kids, Vegetales came out with a spoof that my wife and I laughed our heads off at, "Hey Bob, I just bought a whole chocolate factory with no money down!"  

OTH, if you are the Mars Chocolate Corporation and you buy sugar futures to control costs in the future, that's investing.Investors who leverage deals, flip contracts, take options and other endevors are really "operators", they facilitate functions that produce an income.There are statutes that describe "operators" as those who take title to RE and produce an income.

As I drink my green tea and eat my dark chocolate, I smile and say "Cheers!"

We enjoyed it even though I'm the last person to spend time in a mall.We really liked the Ghiradelli chocolate shop but I think we walked out of there with 30 pounds of chocolate and are still eating it...CBL is based in Chattanooga and has 4 malls up there so we're going to go up this weekend and see what they're like.

Will chocolate covered do?

I really didn't know, I didn't, I was thinking "holly-cow, here we go:; prefer vanilla over chocolate, RACIST, coke vs pepsi, RACIST, snuggie over blanket, RAaaaaaCIST. 

A seasoned property manager could  dispassionately look at that and say ‘it’s an easy clean up, at least it wasn’t wine or chocolate on the carpet.’

Keurig coffee machine, gourmet teas, CableTV with lots of good channels, Roku with Netflix, welcome baskets with chocolates/peanuts/mints/etc.

Although I might start collecting those chocolate shaped coins covered in gold foil; they will double as food and currency.Additionally, I do not think the country is any worse than many periods of our history.
