Thanks Maria, I was probably watching my step so I wouldn't fall on my face! (DR, don't let the sweet expression fool you...) The wedding was nice but some of our friends who were there are divorced now and that makes me sad. Maria, we won't see a robin for quite a while, but the crows are still hanging out, keeping us company.

Suzie, I'm sure you'll get familiar with your new Mac in no time. I have a flat panel screen now and there's room for all three cats behind it with all the extra space. Not that they are allowed, but they still try.

Ann, did they send your DH home yet? They boot them out pretty quickly these days. Poor mothers get 24 hours (or less) after delivery, which I think is just awful. Next they'll have them squatting in the lobby. Sounds as if his case went well, and he should have a good recovery.

Sarv, your casserole sounds similar to a hamburger pie I used to make when the kids were small, Use the burger mix for the "crust", and mashed potatos for the filling, and run a tunnel of veggies around, and cover with either gravy or cream sauce. Cheap and easy. Haven't used the pkg potato mixes in forever, and don't plan to, unless they start tasting like real potatos..

Oz, you are an exceptional man, my ex wouldn't go near a sickie, a dirty diaper, or even a dirty dish, for that matter. That was *women's work* although he never objected to me bringing home a paycheck which was supposedly his work. He never had a problem spending it either!

Robert I was admiring your tiles until I saw your rocks and the column you picked up, it is absolutely gorgeous!!! How did you manage to move it?

Woofens, are the kiddies getting better.? They need to understand that the proper direction to go in for barfing is NOT towards their mother, but the bathroom or the bucket!! Tell them you can't make them NOT throw up! Is the boy still at home? What a tough situation for you. You've certainly given it your best shot, maybe this will teach him that there are consequences. I'm a firm believer in Tough Love. They'd probably throw me in the slammer in today's politically correct world.

Dmcd, that was my dream house too, a hose and a drain for clean up. Still isn't a bad idea.

DH is stuck in Detroit for another night due to their bad weather icing up the roads. Said he'd rather drive home in daylight. Can't say I blame him. Cats enjoyed sprawling all over the bed last night... can't say I did much to take advantage of my mini vacation, except I went to see Match Point, and stopped at a rib joint for a big slab of BBQ ribs. They're pretty good. Having the rest of them for dinner tonight.

Hey, did I tell you I have free long distance now with the digital phone service? I need phone numbers!!! Come on Maria, Elaine, Sarv, give 'em up!!

Dcat, I've found you can't rely on family members for accurate medical updates, everything they repeat is either altered or colored by their own experience or emotional reactions. And they keep passing it on so that someone else can add their misconceptions to it. It does sound as though they are treating your MIL properly, and we'll keep her in our thoughts.

Let's see, what else....oh, yeah, on behalf of those of us freezing our butts off while you are basking in temperatures over 65 degrees, "Shut Up". Thank you. Phew, that feels better.

OK, where's GG, Okus, Blooms WS, Ernie, etc??? Maybe busy and just lurking...so hello and
~~ to the rest of the gang.....here's your Sammi fix....note his exclusive possession of the coveted between-the-pillows spot, while Souky and Mini keep their distance to avoid surprise terrorist attacks. The bed is one of his favorite combat arenas. .
