Why don't I just start a latch-hook project, knit a pair of socks or maybe
mow the lawn with a pair of scissors?

I'm not being anal about the chocolate chips. I'm being anal about people
misunderstanding what's going on here. I provided a little background
story about how I ended up with chocolate chips I don't want, and now
everybody is being judgmental toward me, as if I should be happy to have
chocolate chips at all. They act as if the chocolate chips were a special
gift to me and that I'm unappreciative of my friend's generosity. That is
nothing like what this is about. *HE* got the wrong chips for *HIS*
cookies. I used what was needed and we had a couple of bags left over.
Neither he nor I like big, fat chocolate chips. I don't want to cut them
into little pieces with a knife when I can more easily go to the store and
get the teeny-tiny chocolate chips. I will turn the big chocolate chips
into something else.
