My desk is full of them but they aren't very 'sticky' notes anymore , least the block I have only seem to stay put for a short while

I love them when heading somewhere to pick up something,I write my directions on them and stick them on my dashboard then I know where i'm going. no I don't have a GPS when we do go traveling around Australia, then I will buy one. until then I'll stick with my sticky notes.
Sticky notes were invented by Mike Nesbits's Dad. Mike was the Guitarist in the Monkees.(Band from the 60's).

I've been using them on igoogle for the last few years. I can log into them from any computer then. Sadly the note is now a small novel but all that I need to know can be found by scrolling.

 I have both the ones on my laptop desktop and I have the ordinary ones - but I have millions of them.

Some have somethings written on them that mean nothing to anybody else but me lol

I always tell hubby and the kids - if the ordinary ones hit the floor - they are not to throw away - if I am done with them - they will be in the bin only.  Anything else goes back on my table.

- sorry to burst your bubble but Mike Nesbits's dad did not invent "sticky notes".  I do not know who did but it wasn't him.

His Mother did however invent "Liquid Paper" when she was working as a Secretary.
