    WTAF indeed… and I like a soggy nacho! Seriously, who was paying for that research?!

     Thanks though, that’s just tipped me over to payout! 😁

    If only that was the weirdest question they asked....

    I sometimes think they just gossip in the office all day and when they end up on a strange topic of conversation they all argue and so put it in a poll.  It's the only explanation I can figure out!

    Well done on the net worth!

    I confess that I tend to buy presents year round for Christmas and birthdays, I see something at the right price, it goes into the present drawer to be evacuated at the relevant time. Once I bought Yankee candles at a great price because a friend loves them. Lasted about 4 years that box. I bought this adorable little Disney story book before my nephew was born, gave it when he was 5... I am the problem. That's me.
