Re: What's on your desk?
My feet.
I don't have a desk, I have a living room table I prop my feet on as I type from the laptop on my lap.
All that I say applies only to myself. You author your own actions and choices. I cannot and will not be responsible for you, nor are you for me, regardless of situation or circumstance.
