I realize that just a little more every day since leaving my full-time job and venturing out on the self-employed path. You definitely need both.<br />Tissues and Q-tips are things you don't appreciate until you don't have any. Having run out of tissues during a bad cold, I can tell you that nothing else is as good a substitute - paper towels, toilet paper...nope. And Q-tips are highly underrated things.<br />Aren't the shirts awesome???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-91054887774425027072016-01-25T16:01:31.147-07:002016-01-25T16:01:31.147-07:00Telemarketers are a pain in the neck, we use the a...Telemarketers are a pain in the neck, we use the answering machine to screen the calls.

The husband of the couple has a wonderful way of dealing with them. He listens to the pitch, then politely says no, then throws out, "My rural band is always looking for sponsors. May I put you down for the $1,000 gold level?" Funny, he never gets them to do it. :)<br />Clouds definitely make the sky more interesting.<br />Kleenex! That is absolutely something for which we should be thankful!!
