I like my butt. (OK, I'm getting a little too weird here, better change to some other random thought, like......my dog....is....furry) Oh well, time to go dialyze. Maybe I can dialyze my brain and get rid of some of my weirdness.

Weirdness is good.  I just got back from the thrift store.  I found some shirts for my daughter.   The IHD.com box of goodies for Vegas in October is growing.

Don't get rid of the weirdness on my account.  Weird is fine.  Crazy is good.  Zany is nice.

Oh yea that's a phobia of mine but I will try to ween of the 13 sheets in fact I will cut it back slow and try 12 sheets today. I have a tendency to use too much soap also. And I use paper towels to open the restroom door in public places to avoid contracting those little sick germs.

I know things are bigger in Texas
but 13 sheets of paper does not seem like a lot to me
13 little square sheets or 13 rolls
so you don't read during that private time
you count toilet paper sheets
