I forgot to update the post - Ooops

It was a Round Tin of Butter Toffee. My mother used to love Almond Rocca, and she would have really loved this Butter Toffee. It is very good and very RICH - has to be refrigerated for up to two weeks.

I received an email from an ad agency that represents AllBran cereal. Over a year ago I participated in a focus group where I took the ten day AllBran challenge. Every day we logged onto the site with a moderator and answered questions and gave comments on the cereal and the challenge. I was paid $200 for the focus group so I was thrilled. Now AllBran is apparently updating their ad campaign and a section of their website pertaining to the Allbran challenge. The person from the ad agency told me that all of the transcripts from the forum had been reviewed by them and they were impressed with some of my comments. They wanted to know if they could use a few of them on their site. They will pay me another $100 plus other compensation (not sure what the other compensation is). Maybe more Allbran~~! Anyway, I was excited that I am making another $100 after all this time. Whoohoo!

Wow... that's so awesome! It's kind of like when I get a check in the mail that I didn't know was coming...

Woah, White! That's wicked cool! How fun is that?! Plus you made a good three hundred bucks from that study. Very very awesome.
