Just got a package. Had a couple pairs of leather gloves in it I ordered. Once again the "Christmas Is Coming" was heard when I ordered them. The problem is that they were on sale and had there been a wait would have been sold out. Which they aren't today. But they are back to full price.

Spouse actually uses all our shops quite a bit herself, as neighbors we share resources, from kilns and pottery studios, to 3D printing, to heavy equipment, including a log (timber) mill, and firewood processor.

I make note of the benefit of our to fixshops bringing more people and bidders (thus more money) to my estate sale.

Serious dough will flow from the estate sales. (3 fully equipped locations)

Nothing like a bit of stereotype and low blow to frisk things up a bit:>)
SO gifted me 2500 pounds of led. Should I waste my time and turn it into shot? But then it is not all about me anymore. Head scratch!

I LOVE dark chocolate, and chocolatier is indeed a word.

Cute little sidebar: My daughter dated a guy born in Germany, and he said that over there, black-and-white cookies are called "Americans".

I like chocolate chips, too, but I think the black-and-whites were more along the NYC/Jewish deli theme of the bagel gift so that's why they were included.
There's a great chocolate shop on the Strip district of Pittsburgh. It's a little pricy, but worth it for special occasions. https://www.monaimeechocolat.com

I would just like a gift card from our favorite steak house restaurant. That's all.

Your wives? What an odd thing to believe.
