shrug Folks have different priorities. One year, I received 48
pounds of
Turkish pistachio nuts for XMAS. By far, the BEST gift!! (despite the
fact that I had nothing to show for it, later)

If I got a $60k inheritance, I still would have done our budget
kitchen....thrown one hell of a party and taken a nice vacation...then
invested
the remaining $50k

*Or*, buy 3,000 pounds of pistachios!!!!!

I love pistachios...Will have to get some the next time I go to the store.

Once in California a bought a whole shopping bag full of them ...cheap!

They're crap. Buy some turkish ones. The difference is definitely
worth the cost. Google "Zenobia".

Sheesh...you get a new kitchen with a lot of people drinking and
something is
going to happen. This was pretty minor.

One of the women who was over actually has a video of herself setting
firecrackers off on her dining room table. I somehow suspect heavy
drinking was
involved.

One wonders hat she'll be naming the newborn, come May...

She is a bit crazy...even for one of my friends she is "way out there"

She would not get away with that here of course

Crazy can be fun.
