Great job. You’re the greatest! Now the waiting begins to see who wins the prize!
Wind are you saving the list? If. so anyone with future ideas ping them to her!
That is quite a rundown of the discussion of the word “pickle” in Q’s post. But then again, another term for a rundown is pickle, as you noted, so there we are. It’s an enigma, wrapped in a pickle jar.
