There's an agoraphobic streak and a paranoid streak in the
family, and she had lots of both. After we moved to Texas
in 1965, she seldom if ever went out for social things and
never just to go out. To her final illness, her fantasy
was to take all the money in her account and "when I take
a trip, it's really going to be first class." But she never
actually did it.

I liked Breyer's vanilla bean, which now is called something
else after having had the formula changed but then changed
somewhat back. The French wasn't impressive.

For the rest of the participants, the events were I figure
95% nice. It was really nasty only for me, as she wanted to
smoke dope and have sex with her (though she was a self-styled
lesbian), neither of which enticed me at all, and became
incredibly abusive when she was turned down on both.

Yep.

      Title: Hersheys Chocolate Syrup
 Categories: Chocolate, Desserts
   Servings:  6

    7/8 c  cocoa
    8/8 c  sugar (ie. 1 c)
    9/8 c  water
      1 ts salt
      1 ts vanilla

  I don't have the exact recipe, but this is what I make. I call it
  789 Syrup, because that is the proportions. I have arrived at this
  after years of experimenting, as I am a fan of chocolate milk. The
  proportions can vary though, if you use a different brand of
  cocoa, so... Then again, some people like their syrup sweeter,
  however,  I like mine to taste like cocoa.

  Combine first four ingredients, and bring slowly to a boil while
  stirring, or nuke at 30%, stirring occasionally. After it boils, let
  cool, and add vanilla. Store in fridge. Source unknown
