Yay for dog years, and Kuwaiti dinars. 13 KD will get you, 2 Samsung DVD players, 25 bottles of strawberry juice, 3.5 kg of pistachio nuts, 20 kg of rice, 30 packets of chocolate chips, 10 meatball subs at Subway, 11 cups of coffee at Starbucks and a fancy toaster that also cooks your egg at the same time. :-) Imagine I gave you all those.
Have a super day.
Hurray for 47! Hope you have a day filled with wonder.
