    That's a nice surprise right there. What kind of wood is that gift?
    Hope you find a way to encourage the fairy to continue doing the same.

    Well now I have that to Buck and split, I also have a bunch of walnut and hackberry to split. I'm still in deer hunting mode so the wood work will have to wait. :D

    Can I play, can I? My fairy (tooth) only used to give me a quarter! But for a five year old a half a century ago 25 cents was good money. I could buy 5 tonics. Sodas for the rest of you.

    Up here what you call soda is tonic, Coke , Pepsi, etc. But the younger kids call it soda more than they used to.

    Coke and Pepsi, etc. were all called pop when I was growing up. I thought soda was something made with ice cream.

    Still is called pop here. And yes, I used to love the sodas made with ice cream. We used to have a drug store in town that served them and they were delicious. Lemon flavor was my favorite.

    Yup, I grew up calling it tonic, but it has transformed to soda over the years-I think I would get that blank look if calling it tonic now :confused:
