1. I assumed that as long as I'm alive they'd never have to worry about sales. LOL.

2. My cousin's ex-wife

Is from Russia (St. Petersburg). Every Christmas she’d send us a box of Russian candy.
Russian chocolate is awful. We’d keep the pretty box, throw the candy away, and joke that he could have found a Swiss wife instead.
We’ve lost touch since their divorce and I wonder what she thinks of all this. She’s been in the USA over 20 years.
