as we continued exploring the rest of the flat area of the asteroid, we noticed similar looking patches of sand. so who was he and what did he do? the whole staff are just so friendly, cheerful and caring. since i started quilting i seem to collect more! if you got the desk, you can rely on the actual sales value. due to the straight design of the pads, they used to be uncomfortable to hit for the first few months before you ‘broke’ them in. kittens are a real vitamin of joy. thanks very much for that information and for your suggestions.
