SC - chocolate cream - 1604

[Elaine Koogler]

No problem...if it had been just you, I probably wouldn't have said anything...but
it was several people.  And my response was meant to be funny, rather than

weeks of 10-12 hour days (including some time even on weekends and Thanksgiving!!)
and finally got the bloody thing off yesterday!  So I'm a bit tired!

the alternative...being unemployed)
