Yeah, I clicked "Liked", but all I can think of is a different sound something shaped like a Hershey's Kiss might make [an emoticon for which is thankfully missing from the extensive list made available to us by that hard-working StoryMaster].

FOTD: Ground cinnamon is technically sawdust.

So, sawdust is an anti-inflammatory? Sawdust with sugar for my morning toast?
In cinnamon's case, it's bark is better than it's bite.

If I was in a room with Ryan Reynolds, Sam Raimi and Weird Al Yankovic, there'd be a 100% chance of us sharing a birthday and of them asking me who I was and what I was doing there.
