mark_garcia74 is right about the bricks. I see it with tools too. My dad's old hand sander from the 70s is a solid piece of metal that just needs a new sheet of paper. The one I bought last year is mostly plastic and already has a cracked guard. They don't make things to be fixed anymore, just used up. It makes me want to hunt for the old, solid stuff at yard sales.

That "one herb garden away" idea used to seem silly to me. But after swapping some basil, I totally get it now!

I used to go for green badges all the time... but your point changed my mind. It just makes things look busy.

Ugh, that sinking feeling is the worst! I did a mix too but used little code words only I would get for the paper list.
