        it's ok that he's probably too old now- the passion he could bring to the screen because he really believes! and he's got the dimple!

        I have a similar story....and the word is CALADRYL! Poison ivy causes insanity... I was thinking up dangerous ways to make IT STOP ITCHING! I'm highly susceptible to catching it...if it's even in the air..I get it. It's another good thing about moving to AZ.. less foliage.

I assume the Venezuelan police are going to 'redistribute' the contraband bog roll... or are they going to use it for their own... ends?

So do they consider that "rolling paper" or "rolls of paper?

      Scary isn't it. I intend to put in wood, but not till the dog is gone! ...Unless I move first... The dog is almost ten. She doesn't do that fortunately, but she does have nails and some unpleasant destructive habits.

        Yes. I am really bad at remembering to change my shoes when I come home. Metal chips occasionally embed themselves in my soles and they are worse than dog nails. I promise to do better when we remove the carpet from the great room. Most of my floors are ceramic tile. Beautiful and indestructible.

I remember reading an article on the Venezuelan toilet roll crisis a couple of weeks ago. Their government should instigate a food shortage then there wouldn't be a problem... Oh no wait...?
