Now that is brilliant!

Enjoyed this post--fun!

Girl, you crack me up. How do you have time to think this stuff up?

That was all quite adorable, right up to the #menu section at which point I laughed my damned fool head off, if you'll pardon the hyperbole.

"right: now; left: none;" HAHAHAHA!

Maybe I need professional help. Or, dessert.

That is hilarious!

That was brilliant, Mindy. I can see this making the rounds as a geeky meme.

That's fantastic!

That's good stuff, Mindy.

To someone who is all too familiar with CSS, it made perfect sense! :-)
