I wanted so badly to respond "Honey, I know Garfield. I knew him before you were born. I had a Garfield lunchbox... back when they were still plastic!"

By the way, I have been putting your idea of "chips" into action - I always compliment my coworkers and tell them that I appreciate them.

Does this make me a)uncool or b)ultra cool for ignoring Top 40 radio?<BR/><BR/>Question 2: In a recent post, you mentioned wearing acid-wash jeans and having a motorcycling boyfriend at the age of 17. Acid-wash was cool in my school when I was in grade 6 or 7. This would make you approximately 37 years old. Are you in your late 30s, or did acid wash have an extended hey day in the US that I am not aware of?french panichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387613398913818918noreply@blogger.com
