Cheryl, Happy Passover to you and yours. I saw where our holidays and yours were at the same time this year.
M&N, you are a better woman than I. I would sooner give up chocolate than my computer and that is saying something. I bet Sophia got a new outfit and is showing it off with style and aplomb. Just like her grandma.
TB, my husband has no idea how to work a computer and we have two of them. He only learned to dial the phone a year or so ago. (not kidding). If he understood the level of power I hold over his existence it would be truly frightening to him.
He lives because I am fundamentally kind.
Maybe if you ask your hubby to start helping with the housework he will find other things to do?
Bonz, I thought that I was the one who was a 'basket case". I miss those days. I once bought a big straw laundry basket and loaded it up, wrapped it in colored cellophane and all. Naturally it was for our first, and only - for six years) grandson. I bought gallons of bubbles and big containers of wands for the kids at the CC. I figure the bubbles will work their way over across the street, to my house, and possibly wash the front porch for me.l
JM, the roof is over 25 years old and I have a fully funded fund for that as well. $150 a month but I had enough in there a few years ago. This time is just adding a layer so it will not be as expensive. Trust me, you will miss these messy days some day, so enjoy. When something frustrates you, stop and think, will this matter next year, ten years, twenty years? Perspective. Happy kids are better than impressed guests. Just watch out for your toes.
I love Chesley Lately, she is my kind of gal. I love the crime shows because they teach me what to look out for. I would never run into a dark alley if I thought someone was chasing me, for instance.
Mrs K, I see your husband's point about PORFQ but having been to both places there is little resemblance.
Being a country bumpkin I have little interest in staying at Fort Wilderness or seeing Hoop de Doo. Vacation should be all about different.
Lisa, we were all trying to sleep but the crickets done work us up.
Timmie, there is no way that you are big enough, nor scary enough, to get to me to eat bait. I had a salad for lunch and I picked the anchovies off and gave them to Mr. Tom, the family junkyard dog. He will eat anything if it is not good for him or he thinks it is expensive.
I was not feeling too well when I met my bil and Tom for lunch so I came straight home. I think we will be having salmon for Easter. Oh well, ham will be cheaper next week anyway.
SG/who is waiting for her vitamin D tablets to take affect.
I have a Vit D deficiency that they thought was lupas or fibro. I am still in pain but it is not as bad with the extra vit D I now have to take.
Quick drive by! 
No, seriously, I'll probably end up having to go out to dinner with my MIL, and I would truly rather be with you all. 'Nuf said. 
" 
Is your basement 'finished"? Is there much damage? I am so sorry. Is this a recurring problem where you live? I hope it was not too hard to clean up and that things improve the rest of the season. 
:... between bills and mortgage my mom and the stuff I got stuck with from the ex .. really have to work like this for the next 3 years
