How you couldn't park the car in the garage for all the junk. And how he loved the dump at the end of 117th Street, always bringing home something else to 'fix.'

What were you thinking? You'll grow out of that rearranging thing. I know I did, because I found out that if you don't move it, you don't have to clean behind it.<BR/>But you'll never stop with the cans of goodies. Isn't it fun when you dump that can all over the table looking for that perfect size, half of the small pieces falling on the floor, stepping on them with your bare feet, hopping around as if that will ease the pain, then scooping everything back up, all for a whopping 99 cents? I still love doing that.flydragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561665960229511333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257600656581656906.post-16868708069366686462008-11-08T06:38:00.000-05:002008-11-08T06:38:00.000-05:00aha! that's where i got that gene! i think i pas...aha! that's where i got that gene! i think i passed it on too. last night i went to throw away some slippers that emmy chewed, and rob chewed my ass.

Problem was, we didn't own an 8-track tape player!!!<BR/><BR/>Needles to say they didn't make it to MS along with a bunch of other junk. So, maybe that's your solution.
