8. Yeah, but in the Piggly Wiggly,
They're all unshelled and in a convenient saran-wrapped package.
Finished them in 3 days. Going back for more tomorrow.

Unfortunately, all that did was blow the little piles across my yard - and the neighbor's leaves, too.

Sometimes life just ain't fair. :(

13. finally a mind as demented as mine
Do you realize that you and I would have regular sized kids? Just think, they wouldn't have to be oppressed because of their height like you and I have been. Mull that one over. :think: :silly:

My 14 year old son's father is 5'5" (or so he claims...i think he is shorter than that). My son is now 5'8" and still has to grow into his feet.

22. see that's pretty regular sized
unless he sprouts up a foot here in the next few years. :)

I don't even try to lie about my height. Actually, people think I'm a little taller than I am. I must have a big presence, either that or my ego size makes me seem taller. :)

But those Brazil Nuts are off da hook! I do look for those in a can of mixed nuts. Those and the whole cashews.

:evilgrin: That sounds like one decadent treat. I made the fudge recipe that was linked here a few weeks ago. Together with those chocolate-dipped Brazil Nuts that would make for some sinful eating.
