Hi:
Your Prime Rib dinner sounded scrumptious. I hope Max settled down once you went to sit with the little guy. How did Tugger take it all in? Majik came to have his breakfast, so we think he is o.k. Pepper was a little confused about the noise but generally speaking she seemed more calm than last year. I don't think she slept very well tho at least until the noise died down. When I got up this a.m. (7:00A) it was sooooo quiet. We were very surprized about how relatively quiet it was here on the block. People were popping fireworks, and we had the same $#96##@ popping those bombs. There were also aerials, which we thought were illegal, well what ya gonna do??? Compared to other New Year Eve's this was pretty acceptable. Happy New Year again!!

HiYA!
We are going to have Prime Rib again for dinner tonight! It was that good...I am breaking my cardinal rule about not eating leftovers. Went to Pizza Hut with Fred and that was fun! He is really quite a character. When I read all those books on avoiding clutter, he was numero uno to come into my mind... He just might be the King of Clutter. I bet that is why I did not ever thnk you would be comfortable being there during my lesson...60 minutes in clutter world.

Clutter? What clutter? I think Fred and Mrs. Inouye would be neck and neck in the competition for world's best pack-rat. Hey! If I can sit in her house and not want to neaten the room, I certainly could sit in Fred's house and not be tempted to pick up. I might get hives tho' (heeheehee) But, you know some people just love having everything they have ever owned for the last 50 years surrounding them . Somehow it must make them feel safe. Read anything about why people love "CLUTTER"....?

I had not really thought of the parallel between the two. Fred might win out because he has the bigger space which is filled with mucho stuffo!

Actually, none of the books ever talked about any validity of the thought that why people love "CLUTTER"....?. In fact, I am sure the concept was never mentioned. Do you really think there are people who love clutter? The concept boggles my mind(gg)!

Let me see...OCD for one, insecurity for another, fear of making a mistake leading to indecisiveness, procrastination, fear of loss, deprived childhood, too much room, etc.
