I only eat catsup on French fries and on meatloaf. Don't ask me why just those two things. . . lol! But, since I no longer eat French fries, I haven't had catsup in a while.

On HGTV
I think most of the programs are on a strict timeline and budget. Restoring and finishing the original woodwork takes a lot of time and money. Painting is easier and quicker. It also brightens and...

booklady57
