>> haha.. great saying :)  And I'm glad you're taking it easy!

Definitely :)  I remember long ago a while after of getting MS, and there was
about Zero energy in me...  We established new house rules:  If it bothers you,
clean it up.. unless you're a teenager (g).

LOL, NO FAIR :) But I'm lucky.. he doesn't have time to read Fidonet messages
:)

He laughed pretty hard :)

Hopefully they didn't make her eat there :)

Sure, understand... the seasonings are great.

These guys we had just went through the house like crazy, wrapping and boxing
every single thing including a bag of garbage that was waiting to go outside to
the trash :)

I can understand that :)  There are plenty of times I've thought about a change
