[ham] [Rhodes22-list] Gifts.

[Michael Meltzer]

I have no fear of that, this is where the German part works in my favor, tell a German(even a German woman :-) that is to
complicated for her, they take it as a personal challenge, she start engining a better version :-) Second off the organize, neat and
tidy kicks in, it in the jeans.  One of her girlfriend subjected that if I could not get my clothes into the hamper just to leave
them, OK she tried it, I think she lasted about 5 day, I am not sure because I did not notice :-) now she happy if I get close to
the hamper :-)
