I postponed getting new carpet for almost three years because more interesting projects kept capturing my attention. Carpeting, while nice, does not excite me all that much. I can think of so many other ways to spend money on home improvement. But Mike kept on me about the carpeting and I finally had to [...]

Stinky McFadden chewed my new shoes.
Stinky McFadden chewed my new shoes. They are not expensive shoes - in fact I purchased them at the Walmart in Watertown, New York on clearance for $5; but, I purchased them because I really liked them.
