aaaah... Life is good.
Good stuff. I might have to swipe a few for my "It's All Good" list.
Rotating pie displays in family restaurants
That's awesome! I would never have thought of that, had I composed a similar list.
Thanksky !
Incredibly, I actually agree with nealy all of these!
Good stuff indeed...
Shalom, y'all!

You are a lucky one.
Indeed. And I just had a two-hour lunch, too! But I'll have to make up the time for it later, so... rats!
Shinerizing <--great word.
Also, my family tree has quite a few moonshiners in past generations, one such fellow used to brew a cider that'd bring a draft horse to his knees. (file under pointless information).
:?)
...and then you'd get a hangover. See? Hanger, shinerinzing, moonshine... We made it work! :)
Great list! :)
