What're yours?
In ancient times of castles and kings, people had many indoor pets but no vacuum cleaners. The pets would shed hair and this detritus would gather over the years, accumulating on the stone floors of the castle. After being stomped flat under the trod of many castle inhabitants and visitors, the hair eventually turned into waht we now rtefer to as "carpeting."

ReplyDeleteIt seems like you are a pensive person who likes to know why you do what you do. I've been working in Nursing since 1884 and I am so frustrated about the lack of recognition and appreciation. I got mad enough to write a book which finally does recognize nurses. I though you might like to know about it. It's called "Nurses Are From Heaven". Working since 1984 makes me feel so old, yet eligible to share some sage ideas in a book. Let me be the first to wish you a Happy Nurses' Week, 2009! Thank you for all your contributions to our great profession and may God bless you in all you do.

I don't think being a beer snob as a negative thing, unless you are broke or in a bar that has no good beer (which happens more often than I'd like to admit). I always add it to the positive list. You will always find dog and cat hair in my house too. It's also listed as "clothing accessory"
