I suppose having a lot of money can be a good problem to have. For example you get to sit around or under a tree (that is of your liking and you own) on your very own beach of your very own Island sipping your very own brand of pineapple juice made on your own farm served by a local who you also (essentially) own.
Whilst sipping said beverage you get to contemplate of the other islands of the planet that you currently do not own and could or would like to own.
This rambling merely highlights the news recently that the Oracle chief had gone ahead and just bought one of the six Hawaiian islands.
Lends credence to my earlier proposal where Messrs. Gates and Buffett should just go ahead and pick up Africa and Australia and with money left over go for any one else willing to sell out their good for nothing countries.
Then these Messrs could decide how to best put the piece of earth into overdrive and make everyone else rich so we could go exploring into space for other pieces of real estate. They were looking into snagging an aesteroid or two from near earth orbit and digging for oil or some such I heard.
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
