If I want something for Christmas or a birthday, I send my husband the link to the item on Amazon. He's a wonderful gift giver because of that.<br /><br />In some ways, I feel like a man. I don't care what I wear. I don't know what I wear. I've had people walk up to me and say something like, "...so, do you think they'll finally win on Sunday?" After an utterly bewildered look, I find myself looking at my T-shirt. Oh. I wore my son's Cleveland Browns shirt. I think they are some sort of football team.Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-15840566088136973522014-07-11T17:02:19.499-04:002014-07-11T17:02:19.499-04:00Finally, the direction-asking conundrum has been e...Finally, the direction-asking conundrum has been explained!<br /><br />Yeah.

One really struck a cord. My mother lives in a retirement facility and her unit is professionally cleaned once a week.
