C.<br /><br />Spent 5 hours on line and on phone trying to resolve issue with Pay Pal (longstanding). I really loathe them! I discovered that I did not like being hung up on FOUR TIMES! (Big surprise.) Worse, their posted number is not toll free. It turns out that the way to talk to them is by calling eBay and pushing lots of appropriate buttons. Talking to live body on eBay is problematic also. Fellow from eBay eventually solved my problem.

I usually need a rest to recover from a vacation.<br /><br />The 'Do You know" was proven by a scientist (British, I think) that was doing research on a remote Indian ocean island. He thought he noticed beard and nails growing faster when he neared his returns to civilization. So he dry-shaved to collect his beard and saved his nail clippings and carefully weighed them all. I think he's better known for this than his actual research, whatever that was about. But it's any anticipation, not just sex; although that's what we men are usually anticipating.Gunghyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505285217105843307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-78757230627998040972011-03-07T19:25:24.601-06:002011-03-07T19:25:24.601-06:00Chickie, that AAA battery truck is really a good i...Chickie, that AAA battery truck is really a good idea.
