Yay! I win!

[Camino Chrissy]

Chris.

Yep...that's me!
I save a few ziplocks, but only the bigger quart size...and I have lots of cardboard boxes. Most are more recently from Amazon, but not "my" purchases.
Does this mean I am old?

I can not believe how I squeaked by to win! Being at the right place at the right time!

 

[nycwalking]

Yay! I win!

Congratulations!

 

[Bristle Boy]

Congratulations!

A bunch of nothing for Rick...an empty cardboard box for CC.

A bunch of nothing for Rick...an empty cardboard box for CC.

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

Oh no, it's when the orbit of the sun hits exactly the center of Ayers Rock, everybody knows that..

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

It must be difficult to remember Bruce's birthday.

It used to be. That's why they they gave up and celebrate them all on the new holiday, National Bruce's Birthday. They also celebrate the Queen's birthday the same day.

Q: Why do you only very rarely see elephants hiding in tree tops?

Spoiler

A: Because they are very good at it!

NYC take note, A&W, an American fast food restaurant known for its root beer, is reviving its marketing campaign for its 1/3 lb. burger that was put up at the same price against McD's quarter-pounder back it the 80s. It failed then according to a research firm because Americans knew 4 was bigger than 3 and so why pay the same for less meat. A&W renamed the burger then but now they are going back to fractions with the introduction of the 3/9 th pounder.

A bit off topic, but I met hubby when we both worked at an A&W as our first jobs at age 16 and 17. He poured root beer inside and I was a "car hop" delivering outdoors to the cars.

I know Rick....3/4 of people can't do fractions....and the other 90% can't do percentages.
They obviously go to MacDonalds for The Big Mc squared.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Many fast food chains sell a "double burger". A&W now offers one called the "6/18th" burger.
