*crossing my fingers*
Oh, I do hope my 12x12 papers sell on eBay! Keep your fingers crossed for me, too! *grin* No one wanted them from my garage sale ... and they're in perfectly good shape, just not my style! So far, the winning bidder is getting them for less than 9 cents a sheet! I'll just be happy if they go to a new home. Okay, I'll be VERY happy if I get more money for them, but I am already happy someone's covering postage & gas money it takes to get to the post office. *smile*

I'm not fussy, but
Kel has tagged me, so here I go ...
I'm not fussy, BUT ...
1) I hate tomatoes. But will eat tomato sauce and ketchup with startling regularity. Unless someone has snuck chunks into them, in which case they become abhorrent.
2) Do not move my computer chair. I have it perfectly positioned, right where I want it. I can spin in it and get up on the other side, I do not need it moved. I can tell instantly if someone has been at my computer.
3) Leave the toilet seat in a "seated" position. Come on, folks, let's do the math. Women use the toilet set in this position 100% of the time. Men use it in this position about 50% of the time. Don't be a jerk and leave the seat up. It's only useful to another male who is peeing.
And, now, for something completely different:
