he AGAIN complimented me on my spectacular bed, If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the tiger regularly compliment you on your spectacular bed (or is it the other way around)?

Because I'm so hard on shoes I have always had a lot - they tend to last longer when not worn constantly.

There's not much of tacity in Arnold's OUI interview; tacky as it is.
(yes, I made 'tacity' up)
To: camle; Texan5
Have you two heard about Oxyclean? I think it's better than bleach. It's not as hard on clothing as bleach is. I only use it on the white loads, though. << This was not a commercial >>

He probably got the idea from someone else. You're probably right - but it would sure look bad if a least one member of the Delaware congressional members didn't do something in this case - and he appears to be the only one to have stepped up to the plate.

We use a lot of whites, because he wears white socks to work with loafers, and I wear them with my work boots. I also wear a lot of white or off white tee shirts to work in the summer. They are cooler when I am working outside.

Thanks for the info. I saw that at the market the other day, but I didn't know if it worked well. I'm going to get some on the way back from work and try it.

Me, if I want something, I just come out and say it. Me too!!!!!!!!
And because I do it so rarely - I usually get what I want.
Last week we were talking yet again about getting a new digital camera. I reminded him that my birthday is next month. last night he brought me his latest computer catalog and showed me the one he had picked out. I told him it wasn't what I wanted and proceeded to find the one I wanted - and it was $10 cheaper than the one he picked!!!!

In spring and summer I wear sandals and no hose to work unless someone "important" is visiting our office. My company believes in the thermostat being set at 78 degrees during the day, and turned off at night. Couple that with tall cubicle walls, and it is way too hot to dress professionally.
