We have an awesome blend of cake and buttercreme icing that makes eating them just like a bite of heaven. Enjoy!

It's great to see it making a comeback. I really love those laptop decals - and there must be hundreds of other uses not even thought of yet. Vinyl is so versatile.

Solander has Aperger like abilities,a photographic memory,as an indirect consequence of a plan by Soviet intelligence to recruit and train such people as weapons. Aspergers has only recently been discussed,and there are no books by Hans Asperger available in the US. How hard is it to believe that people with photographic memories would be useful to any intelligence agency?

Most every single child diagnosed with autism today seems to be “HF” high functioning or has “mild autism”. In fact, most these kids have ODD, OCD, mild schizoid issues, ADHD, fetal alcohol syndrome, bi-polar issues, or some other disorder that was mistaken for autism or aspergers. Then you’ve got all these “weird” kids who have spent 590 hours a week playing strange video games getting a dark personality that can’t handle reality and suddenly, woe…they must be aspergers. Then there are real people with real aspergers that are now lumped into the ever expanding “autism spectrum” that is really an “autism spectacle” with droves of psuedo professionals cashing in on the alleged epidemic rooted in the epidemic of mis and overdiagnosing children. Stop the madness. Keep it real. So sorry if offends, but can’t take the falsehood and misrepresentations. It’s way outta control.

I knew I had these stored away in my mind for useful purpose! XD Yeah, the Buddhist monks eat only seeds/nuts for about a 1000 days, followed by herbs for 1000 days, and then nothing, making sure to ring a bell each day so that the other monks will know he's still alive. After the bell stops ringing, they wait another 1000 days before opening the room to check on him. The coffins from Ghana are really great though! http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/photo.day.php?ID=52081 Hahahaha! I knew I had these stored away in my mind for useful purpose! XD
