    Hmmmm. No time to order paint remover. I have today and tomorrow to work on this as much as I want. The wife is driving to St. Catherine's with a flock of other girls for a baby shower. Nice tip! I would not have noticed and they would have joined the flotsom on the floor! Thank you!

    I think my wife is amazing. She is multi talented, coordinated, has the body of a 22 year old, knows every sex trick in the book and loves to use them, had 4 kids and didn't gain a pound, cooks amazing meals, keeps the house clean and tidy, loves her kids and grandkids, and most of all loves me...
