I've even read the back of transfers, ingredients lists, the list goes on. Also I'm your Secret Tour Guide from the Knitter's Virtual Vacation Swap and I wanted to drop in and say hi. I've had a chance to read your questionnaire answers and will be thinking of ideas. When you travel what types of souvenirs do you like to pick up besides yarn? Me I hit all the used books stores I can :-) Me and my partner scour them for good sci-fi/fantasy books and I do stray from that genre as well, but that is the mass amount our home library. If you have aan amazon wishlist or any other wishlists please put links here or e-mail I'll be sending you an e-mail verifying your address soon. Hi Brenda,

I recall many a time in my high-school & college years when I suffered terribly with stomach ailments. I pretty much knew where every public restroom was located in the city of Philadelphia. Well, while in dire straits in the bathroom at Wanamaker's, or La Rude Pizza (not the real name, we just called it this because the guy that ran the place was like the "Soup Nazi" guy from Seinfeld) or anywhere, I'd sit and read the backs of the cleaning supplies or read the information on the wrappers of the spare toilet-paper rolls. Not a lot to read. So then I'd start like counting all the vowels and scrambling up words to make other words. Or I'd try to translate the exciting text of a Lysol can into French. Strange times....
