So get lost in semantics if you want, but many of us like receiving a
package of goodies from "home" once we move away.

I get them from a friend in Philly with things like Tastycakes, Habbersetts
scrapple, Taylor pork roll and last Mark it was Irish Potato candy.

I'm sure you kids appreciated cash, but I bet they would had also like some
home goodies too.
