Want to join me Wednesday for a scoop of ice cream? It's Free.

Would Wolverine really eat a "Berry Rampage sundae?" I admit, the others sound tasty.

Though promoting Halle Berry with Oreo cookies is pretty funny in my not so politically correct opinion... I think it'd be appropriate to rename them Ororo-cookies.

Tomorrow is my First Real work day at JKG... get to be up bright and extra early, just to make sure no tardy-whoopsies happen. I will have it timed perfectly by the end of the week.

The CD that Danny got me is quite nice. I don't know if I'd call it "new age". It's a good length for a music album, 50 min.

The Mint's changing the nickel to remove Monticello and add instead a commemoration of Lewis & Clark / Louisiana Purchase. I wonder why they chose that one again, considering that they already did the Sacagawea dollar. I guess because Jefferson was a big supporter of L&C?

Random Mint info - The Secretary of the Treasury is allowed to change the appearance of a coin once every 25 years without congressional approval. (Get congressional approval, and you can do it as much as they allow)

I would meet you for ice cream if I could! :0)
I'm looking at my old area in Fla as a future home still. I never liked Fla. very much...but I have family there. Oh..but, Shhh. ;)


Personally, I'd like us to have money with the colors and metallic thread that Swiss money has. I'd make some sort of nifty wallpaper with their money if I could.

I'd love to have you within visiting distance! I'd treat you to ice cream even on non-free day!

The swiss *do* have spiffy money! I wonder if large amounts sets off metal detectors?

Hehe...well, I have a feeling we'll do just that - treat each other to some snacks one day!

Emeril mentioned on his show today - The national dairy association supplies milk for:

7 billion pounds of cheese
5 billion pounds of butter
and only 1 million gallons of ice cream.

That's a problem in my eyes ;)

Hmm...

How many pounds does a gallon of ice cream weigh?

still , I'd much prefer ice cream to cheese, and margarine can replace butter 99 times out of a 100!

I'd be delighted to treat you to some snacks anytime, just give me warning to plan for it.

Not sure, but I just learned that 1 gallon = 106.3 Old Russian zolotniks. ;)
My math hating brain wigged out after trying to figure out what was going on in 3 different pages of links for weights and measures calculations webpages.

Ahh! The gold made sense, but the Faberge Eggs didn't. Now it does.
