Could you repeat that one more time? Too many of them apply to me and I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to do. I'm getting really nervous and confused. I also have a rotary phone . . ..

I think I'll have the honey mustard dressing please.

Yay I got a comment from KIM!!!

Everybody who reads this - go read Kim. I NEVER comment on her blog because every time I read it it just makes me realise that by comparison I really need to get a life, and then I feel to boring and unfunny amd inferior to say anything!

ME Strauss :D :D <--- huge grins. Me too. I think.
