(Half our household stuff was purchased with S & H greenstamps. We had bluestamp stuff too...)<br /><br />My older sister had her tonsils out too and the doctor was all set to remove ours. Then he 'accidentally' killed his wife with a shotgun and was tried, and convicted, for murder. So my little sister and I got to keep our tonsils. But with three girls in the family, nobody ever had enough time in the bathroom.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-2857986285130615382010-04-01T11:51:40.278-07:002010-04-01T11:51:40.278-07:00MURR: And in the short time I've "known&q...<b>MURR:</b> And in the short time I've "known" you, you stuck to your plan.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722567671925063706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-53354679052039430642010-04-01T01:13:01.964-07:002010-04-01T01:13:01.964-07:00By the time I slid out, my parents were good and t...By the time I slid out, my parents were good and tired. They ran out of money and impetus, so I didn't get the braces, still have my tonsils, and got shoved into college and away from home at age 16.
