A Threat to Eat Bugs, More of Your Comments, Goobye George!

I'll start with a bit of sadness. George and I made it to one week short of six months. He's a good man, and I miss him...his nice warm hands, delicious home made meals, and easy bed-side manner. Wink. But we kept hitting the same communication road-blocks, so I said "goodbye" last month. We ended with a hug and no hard feelings. It's back to celibacy, and onto more fun stuff...
~~~
More of YOUR BEST COMMENTS from my A-Z Challenge

Elephant's Child said After this challenge is over I am going to need to take a cheese-grater to my brain in an effort to eradicate some images.
 
Just Keepin It Real, Folks! said How many pairs of Spanx did it take to squeeze Martha's belly and butt into JLo's dress?

 Ruth said At Walmart? If you had a million dollars would you shop at Walmart?
 
Stephen Hayes said I've little doubt that Martha has her own balls and can strap this device to them.

Michael G D'Agostino said If my prison guard looked like that, I'd have a sex scandal with him...

Jeremy Hawkins said come on who hasn't found love with a prison guard, wait I have said too much..

CWMartin said She doesn't know a sexual experience starting with "o"?...Guess she won't be needing those knee pads...
---
There are many more, my sillies, but we're onto a new topic...WOOHOO!! I MADE 700+ FOLLOWERS!!! I should thank Martie, but why? Thank YOU, every one of you! In celebration, I'm going to eat bugs -- chocolate covered ones. I'll post photos of this undertaking, and I'll review the dead chocolate covered insects too. There's a catch. I'll only do this if someone guesses the correct answer to the question below. No research or phoning a friend allowed.
This box contains 14g (one serving) of chocolate covered insects. How many grams of protein does it have? Insert Jeopardy music...

    All 700 of your followers/stalkers are in for a wild ride. Woo Hoo.
    Protein in that snack? Let Martha worry about mundane things like that. It is much more important to know how much chocolate is involved. And of what calibre...
    I am sorry that George has moved to just good friends status, and admire your refusal to settle for anything less than the best. Which will come.

    Ah, entomophage, qui se nourrit d'insectes. Since insects have exoskeletons with no room for adipose expansion, I guess they are at least half protein so, for 14 grams, 7 grams of protein. Everything else I know is French or incorrect, which is why I use only the first 3 letters of my name. Mon Dieu, I have neglected the weight of the chocolate!

    I am so sorry about you and George. I literally said out loud, 'Nooooooooooo!' :( But I know if it was not working out and there were the same issues, it had to be done.

    As for the chocolate covered bugs......can I get an EWWWWWWWWW. There's just no way. I don't know the protein off the top of my pointed little head but I know that it's pretty high. Still, there have to be less gross ways of getting protein.

    I've eaten crickets before, roasted and salted, but that's it, not even any chocolate. You can do it without vomiting, I assure you. The trick is to think about anything else other than what you're eating. That might be tough when one of their legs gets caught in your teeth, but it's the only thing that helped me.

    Sad to hear that George didn't work out but you kept yourself busy with the A to Z. Communication is the key and I say kudos to you for knowing what you want and don't want. There would never be a day where I would eat insects even if they are covered in chocolate. I will say an astounding 25G. I know I am so wrong

So a little break, and I bet someone worthy of you shall show up. You are welcome to branch out and visit TX - I have no fix-ups but you can look for cowboys if you wish. Um... protein guess - ugh bugs - um 18 grams.......not sure if enough chocolate could persuade me to consume. Good luck.

    I really want you to eat those insects, Robyn, because I know how good they are for you! Locusts are about 50% protein when dry, but these ones are covered in chocolate. Damn! I'll guess 4 grams. Very sorry to hear than George has moved on - love ain't easy, that's for sure.

      A well-reasoned guess, GB. Wrong. But I'm going to lookout for chocolate covered locusts now. They're higher in protein than just about any non-meat food item.

      Thank you for the support, GB. Love sure is hard. A few of the lasting couples I know had an "He/she is so easy to be with" feeling. Maybe that's part of knowing it's right - i.e., when it feels easy (at least at first).

    Sorry about George, but if it had to end, I'm glad you bowed out gracefully. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from you. As for the chocolate covered insects, I hope there's a catch. No amount of flossing or gargling will ever get the taste out of your mouth. In this situation, even chocolate won't help.
