>> haha... little sisters... I was always having to babysit them - they

We were close enough in age that I didn't do too much babysitting of my
siblings, probably just as well. My older brother did more of that,
using the time to beat up on me--and my parents never believed me when
I'd tell them, even years later.

 JK> I'll have to ask him next time we talk :)  He lives in Vancouver

Nice that he does come--bringing Canadian goodies? I saw my older
brother briefly in May but before that was 4 years ago. I think I see my
sister in AZ more often. (G)

 JK> Are they nearby your parents?  My family is all over the place (g)..
 JK> One in Florida, one in Atlanta, one here in downstate NY around

Younger brother lives across the street from Dad, youngest sister down
in Dutchess County (Wassaic). Older brother is in Florida, other sister
is in Az, about an hour from where our younger daughter lives.

 JK> > Steve has an older brother, older and younger sisters.
 JK> > Another older brother was killed in a hunting accident 4 years ago.

 JK> That's very sad to hear - tragic ... Ron just has one brother.  His
 JK> sister was hit by a car when she was just 6.  Ron was there at the

They probably had mixed emotions--great relief that he was spared but
great grief over losing their daughter.

 JK> Yes, it will feel really good to not have to think about what a

Definately, tho we've not had problems with our landlord here. One of
the first things we will do is put in a garbage disposal. The area under
the sink is wired for one but there's none there so we will get one, as
well, probably, as an under sink water filter and high rise faucet.
