It is one of the best ways to get yourself under control, when you feel that someone has been mean/unfair to you - say, thanks, but no thanks!<BR/><BR/>On gifting - I too re-use gift wrappers, I feel it is a waste of beautiful paper to just tear or throw it way, regardless of what may be considered etiquette on this!apuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07806361192017548240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-1161105197717296192006-10-17T22:43:00.000+05:302006-10-17T22:43:00.000+05:30Cute photo!
