Glad the two of you were harmed any more than that, for sure!

Yep.. that's what I figure.  He takes a med for the eye droop which helps a
lot.

We did hear from the ins. company yesterday I believe.. the car is def.
totalled, so that's one step out of the way.

We're the same over here :)

Yeah would seem so...

Could be... I really don't know how many nationwide has around here.

haha... nah, I just saw that pasta machine and it is really neat.  I used it
yesterday pretty much as soon as it got here :)  Makes great perciatelli.  I'll
probably try rigatoni on the weekend with a big pot of sauce meatsauce with
meatballs and sausage :)

Yep, we've got a rental, and it's a nice one.  It's so small and low to the

car :)

Take care,
Janis
