Are you kidding!! Most of this crapola is my husband's. Without moving anything, I can see one of his B'day cards, the carry-out menu for our favorite cafe, the receipt for some Saab repairs, a pencil, a pen, his glasses in their case, too many CDs and floppies to count, an emery board, an empty glass, a brochure for propane fireplaces, a notepad, printed receipts. We're slobs. All this is easily hidden in the closet by simply closing the doors.

Now... kraftdinner - you asked about our desks , and I told the truth. The only reason there isn't more on it is because that's all it will hold. [It's a small desk with one large drawer.] You didn't ask about the room. Saved my rear...
But...I will 'fess up'. If you had asked about the room, I'd have had to tell about the 3' X 7' table [that is piled high] with all the auction items I'm getting ready to list. The two scales and packing materials under the table; all the packages on the floor waiting for payments to arrive; the oak TV stand that holds all the floppy disks, printer, fax, copier, scanner, etc. the supplies we all need for our sales.

Rooms don't count Linda. The fact that your desk is that clean shows that you are truly gifted. Sorry, but that's the breaks.

I'm afraid you're just as bad Helen but in a different way. Your desk shows that you are very well organized as you only have things that should be on a desk on your desk. In psychological terms, you're borderline obsessive/compulsive. I'm sorry to have to tell you.

You will never figure out what my parents did wrong because you're not psycho enough to even be an amateur psychologist Helen. Just because Linda was potty trained at 2 month old, doesn't mean it's wrong you know.

Yellowstone
Your creativity is only exceeded by the size of your desk! But I am concerned about your arms and ammo, especially the squirt gun for the chickens that try to come in ROTFLOL!!! Otherwise, you are prepared for ANYTHING and that is good. After reviewing your items I will have to revoke Kraftdinner's reward of the best adjusted poster on this thread and give it to you. I especially like the fact that you have dust over everything. You had a good mother.
Kraftdinner
. It's clear that you are bored (Normal), based on your reading material -.Lampoon joke book and Ikea catalogue, backed up with the sophistacated reading. And you are very personable as evidenced by your attention to your nails and sunglasses. Your self deprecating conclusion that you are a true airhead is also a healthy sign indicating that you are not an a-hole with delusions of grandeur. Candles and battery charger - (more back up items) are evidence that you belive in being prepared for any eventuality and pop is an appropriate refreshment. What in the hell are skittles?
Now we have to notice what's not on your desk such as hats - an indication that you can weather any storm without tinfoil.
You are A-Ok... But not in the same league as Yellowstone.
