ROFLOL.. we used the Sears Roebuck catalog for an ENTIRELY different purpose at my grandmothers... just be sure to use the non-shiny pages and crumple them several times before use... a lesson we learned early on. We called those the "Roebuck" pages as the family name was Sears.. and that just didn't seem right...<giggle>
