Yep, did some sliding on linoleum myself, not sure how many girls I impressed.<BR/><BR/>Kai, from a distance, thank you!!<BR/><BR/>Sangeet, been a long time, glad to see you back!!Thanks!!<BR/><BR/>Gulnaz, yeah we're basically heard animals. Makes for a bad day when you don't fit in too. Thank you!!<BR/><BR/>Polona, we are so spoiled in this country. A double thank you!!<BR/><BR/>Andrew, in hind site, should've been thankful I had shoes. <BR/><BR/>As multi-boring as it is...Thanks Vaughn!!<BR/><BR/>Corey, you were a smart girl, most kids let it eat them from the inside out. Scuff is a good poetic word, like "scrunch" it hits several sensory levels at once. Thank you!!<BR/><BR/>Roger, I don't know, but a knock-out princess to slip them on my feet would just be fine!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Janice!! Hope you do!<BR/><BR/>Joyce, that was the thing, you couldn't put the pennies in their appointed slots, that would've been an automatic sneaker-behind-your-back response.
