Post By guest (Guest Post) (05/07/2005)
i did the poster idea last year...you can also use SWEET TARTS as "sweet heart"
You can say "You don't even get a PAYDAY for all the work you do, but I am sure if you did you would
make 100GRAND"

Also:
"I've had tons of laughs with you over the years, and I'm sure there will be more SNICKERS to come"
