[blparent] Pieces, pieces, everywhere!

[Veronica Smith]

I used to be that way, but I lost that nerousis many years ago.  I'd like to
say it gets better with age, but the bigger and older the child, the more
things you have to  lose and from my experience, sometimes those little
parts never show up.  I think the carpet eats them. Heheheheheheh1!  Happy
new Year.  It's time to go play a game. v

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.
