yes, she was one of rudy’s friends!

I hate how my eyes instantly teared up when I read the lede.

Lol. I said almost the same thing as you.

What about corn syrup though? My dad really loved molasses. But he was a country boy.

Also from the south. Also grew up eating the Blackburn’s. :)

I’ma let you finish, but occasionally, The New Yorker has some good writing.

Ooh, I was ready to give you & your mailbag a piece of my mind when I saw Rih’s picture up there! But you kept it cute!
