  Lots of frozen foods.  I feel relatively safe storing things in the freezer.  :2thumbsup:

You haven't heard about the mutant polar bear mice?

  Oy, if that were true I'd be a size zero in no time at all.  :GA:

  Fortunately I remembered to buy  :tp:

 
  One of my oldest friends used to give her tenant emergency rolls of toilet paper because they'd run out.
  She'd ask me, rhetorically, "How can anyone be dumb enough to run out of toilet paper?!"
  I buy it now with that in mind.  When I get down to my last roll, I remember her words.  :laugh:

  Lots of food that I haven't eaten, probably because the cold/sinus thing is squashing my appetite.  :apondering:

  What kind of wood is it?  And how many legal books do you have?   :book:

It's modular furniture that came out of a box, but it looks nice.  Oak veneer.

Right now it's 48, but I'll keep adding.  It also holds an upright humidor, two bottles of single malt scotch, some glasses, a couple of awards and some trinkets.

Blech. I never could acquire a taste for Scotch.
Not classy enough I suppose.

Bought two orchids and a pruning saw.
