It's the scraping that is particularly unappealing.<br />But, while Ms. Manners would agree with us, I sometimes think that today it is a yekke thing. My Omas would certainly have objected.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813889572456939922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360283326769930021.post-92202342574032834912009-05-19T10:50:00.000-04:002009-05-19T10:50:00.000-04:00my grandmother didn't stack because

But I know people who suffer with this all the time.<br /><br />Regarding stacking... it's an illness, I suppose. I wish I knew what bothered me. Interesting to note: my father once told me that my grandmother whose name I bear, had the same issue.... must be in the genes ;)G6https://www.blogger.com/profile/15932781801654313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360283326769930021.post-41439112925686527312009-05-18T11:23:00.000-04:002009-05-18T11:23:00.000-04:00We've *rarely* had cancellations, and usually they...We've *rarely* had cancellations, and usually they come either a) with a great reason or b) with plenty of time in advance.
