There's a lesson in here for everyone.

bless you for this.

I want to live in this thread forever and happily ever after.

Just ordered 2 today, one for my bestie's bday and one for me! The shorties, tho. Don't need to be tripping down my stairs after the box wine starts flowing.

You know that made the poor schmo running the CG's whole year.

oooh, hadn't considered using my prime membership for snacks, great tip!

I LOVE THOSE!!! Damn I need to get to the Asian supermarket.
