Quit posting here there's absolutely nothing to see here till 2020. I'm upping the ante. I'll ship TEN pounds of coffee to each and every one of you who 'like' this post if she passes in 2019. And a bottle opener of my choosing. And 1 actual lead icicle like they used to use on a 1950s Christmas tree. C'mon now that's a pretty good haul. SC
