dying package tray

Is it dead yet?
OK so I guess it is "die-ing Mr. Left Coast genius! Ha
Or my old English teacher would come up with something like "die, died, dead".... but then she would say to die and to dye just ain't the same little Billy! Then I would correct her and say, "remember you stupid old b****"... 'ain't" "ain't' a word"!!! ha
