Whoa! I thought it was me....was checking other threads and couldn't get to the new posts with the skip, and was thinking to myself that thilngs were sounding familiar, finally realized what was happening. Not too swift, eh? I hope they do get it fixed asap, people with dial up must be getting even more aggravated than me. Inappropriate words will get Dave's attention, that might have to be our next step!

I was really dragging by the time I got home last night. I don't like driving at night and was glad it was not rainy or snowy making the glare a problem. The interchange nearest downtown is being redone and there are detours, closed ramps, multiple directional signs and it is just an awful mess.

I'm going to see Menopause the Musical with DIL at the end of March. I hope that they have made some progress by then and it won't be such a tangle. Before they moved to their new house, I could leave my car there, and DS would play chauffer for us and we didn't have to hunt and pay for parking.

Aw, Bal, the girls will work it out. You know, it's like two women in the kitchen.....somebody's got to be boss! Separate feeding sounds like a good start, it will lessen the contest for top dog, and give them each a break. They are both too smart for their own good! One of the charms of the Sheltie breed and also one that can make it difficult for the owner. Be patient, you're a good papa, and it will work out.

Molly and Darius, you make me exhausted just reading about all you've been doing. The pumphouse is quite elegant, and i can't wait to see how all those plantings look by midsummer. The rain is an inconvenience for your other chores, but just think how those new seedlings are soaking it up. DH used that cement board on our new garage too, and it's hard to tell that it's not wood siding. The last house that went up in the subdivision used it. It's supposed to be extremely durable.

Sammi had two more baby shots yesterday, now he won't get rabies (like he's ever going outside) or distemper, and has a little tag to prove it. Vet Katrina said he can go in for his neuter in a couple of weeks or did I already tell you that? She pronounced him "sturdy". Mini could attest to that, as one of his favorite passtimes is still taking a long run at her and bowling her over like a freight train.

Babs, I'll have to ask my sis if her kids got into Cricket spitting when they did their tour in Thailand. They would have been the right age. They were pretty adventurous, and used to adapting to foreign customs although they always lived in a cluster of other State Dept. and military personnel. She had a live in maid there, and had plenty of time for the entertaining and bridge playing that she enjoys. What with the overseas bonuses etc. they made out pretty good on their foreign tours.

Dcat, didn't you just know you'd end up doing the escort service with your DH? I hope the rehab place works out well, and she can go from there to home, and resume her daily routines without further problems. Poor dear, she has really been through the mill, along with those of you who were attending her daily. Must be nice to go through life just letting others pick up the pieces like the SIL...I'm getting much better at saying "NO" but I was a reliable piece picker upper for many years.

Glad to see our absentees back....Woofens and Carat. I thought someone would have to go out east and drag you back! The spring picture you posted looks intriguing, very mysterious and inviting. I think the year is going to be a long slow torturous wait for the big move. But we'll have such fun hearing about it when you get to planting and such.

I have to get presentable the cable co. is coming "sometime" between 8 and noon, and if I don't get dressed, it will be 8 for sure. Since I will be ready it will probably be noon.

Ugh, I have to go through my charge card records for '05 and mark all the stuff I bought out of state because Wisconsin is going to charge us state tax on it. You can bet I'll be paying through my debit card from here on out.

Anyone up for a pool on how many lambs Mary brought in last night??

Waving byebye to everyone as I head for the shower.....
