[blparent] Pieces, pieces, everywhere!

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I'm a bit compulsive about having all the pieces, too, but I'm having to let 
that go.  I figure everything will turn up sooner or later.  Sarah's cat 
puzzle is missing a piece and has been for a little while, but I don't want 
to take her toys away because of my neurosis about not losing pieces.
