Congrats on doing cleanng Sarv, I should think about doing that one of these days. Never did call that grandchild of my golf partner to do the high stuff. Maybe if I do that I will tackle some of the other chores before she comes here. I'm so broke from vet bills and furniture buying, I need to do some calculations first.

1099s are required to be sent by January 31, unless the IRS has changed the rules again without asking my permission. So, they can mail them by midnight on that date and meet the requirement which means everybody should get them in a week or so. DH does our taxes, I only have to take care of providing the donation receipts and my tax stuff and let him have the headache of crunching the numbers.

He didn't buy a truck!! Made a deal with the guy who's selling it to put it on Ebay for him, and anything he gets over the asking price of $750 will be split. Minus the Ebay commission. Who would buy a 20 year old truck for that? You'd be surprised...!
Come to think of it, I will be too.....

Lazy day, out for breakfast, little nap that didn't work as Sammi and Mini decided to have a wrestling contest on top of the comforter...Nothing like a bouncing kitten to ward off sleep. He's sleeping now on the chair. This morning he climbed into the tissue box I have in the table next to it, I cut the end out so I could reach in, He's in the box with his head sticking out of the oval in the top....what a little clown!

DH has DGS's automatic label maker and I'm hearing clicking noises, soon everything in the house will have a printed label on it. Help!!!

DMC hold off on the Blackberry, they are being sued by a company whose software they used without permission, and they might be history! I think it would be neat to have one, but as soon as I buy some new techy device, they come along with a better one.....and I become obsolete. Besides, as DH has said, we've used up all our brain space memorizing how to use the digital stuff we already have and there isn't any room to learn new ones. Nice to see you back again. (That's why we have two computers...LOL...saves a lot of bloodshed and requests for the 2X4)

Dcat, I've had two SILS that were practically speechless, having a conversation with them was like pullling teeth, had another one who had an opinion about everything and managed to mention every single one at length, which required no effort other than nodding or saying, Uh huh, at timed intervals. I've actually put the phone down and walked away temporarily and come back and she hadn't skipped a beat. My DIL is a sweetie, and I love her to death, we tease my DS that he married his sister because she fit in with our nutty crew so well, it was like we always knew her. That's a real gift!! Glad you are feeling better, I've escaped the flu bug for a couple of years and feel very fortunate.

Susan I think all our birds are in hiding from this dismal rain. Did see a big murder of crows sitting in the black walnut trees yesterday morning. First one flew south past our house, then another, then we heard some loud "signal" type cawing, then the whoe crew took off towards the other two. They must have sent out sentinels to spot some tasty carrion or something. Interesting birds, they have enormous wing spans. We see a few redtail hawks out here too. Found a dead mouse in the garage once, and swept it outside with a broom, down to the end of the driveway, it was gone in minutes. We have several mated cardinals who demand food and annoy their wives and the little finches and other small birds. We have a pair of bluebirds way down in the corner who come quickly to eat and then fly away, any slight movement sends them aloft. Sounds like you are feeling better too.

Hello to everyone I haven't addressed individually, I've read all your posts, and enjoy them so much. Still waiting for pet photos from our newbie, FC. And smart remarks from Oz. And anything from Ernie and Robert!!

TTYL here's our little demon in the tissue box..
