Corrina We call it keeping a Stiff upper lift !! But I have to say when my parents visited the States they were very impressed by American manners . My Dad could not get over being able to leave his money on the bar and no one took it . Mum was so impressed with drivers who let her cross the road first !! So it is a 2 way street !!Both have very good traits !!
Rosalie~Are you parents from England? My mom is. All of her family live there still. My grandmother, cousins, aunts/uncles. Do you ever go visit? I have not been since 1995, I really need to go back.


I'll tell ya......its a dirty job but that man told me he bills out at $60 per hour!!!!!! Holy smokes! That is some nice money! He had to run 84 feet of snake line through the pipe which basically meant he was at the junction between our line and the city line but since the city line was running, they said it was our responsibility! Oh well. It could have been soooooo much worse. Cost us $250. The smell is still bad but not like it was down there. I have to bleach down that whole part of the basement tomorrow and then on Monday we have to pressure wash it all down and clean it up. He said to let it sit for a day to kill any germs......ewwwww.......lol It was really gross down there!



So I love all the coupons!
