    Oh, I'm sorry Tradd! What a mess.

    OOH, MightyFrugal. Yuck. I know. Just hearing about someone having lice can make you all itchy.

    Tradd, I have state farm too. The one time I was hit by someone that didn't have insurance (bald tires, wet road on a hill, took it too fast and slammed into my car) state farm kept after them. It took the girl about 3 years of making weekly payments to state farm and just when I'd forgotten about it....a check from state farm arrived in the mail. They had her making payments to cover my deductible that I had to pay out of pocket for the repairs to my car.

    Just trying to resist the constant rush-rush-rush, do-do-do of life. We not bad people if we've held on to a few checks for 2 weeks and haven't yet send them to the bank. We are not bad if we haven't gotten around to watering all our trees. We are doing fine even if we have a few boxes of stuff that hasn't been attended to.

    I try to only grocery-shop once a week--most times if I run out of something, I will come up with a substitute. I definitely don't go on Sunday afternoons when everyone is grouchy and in a hurry because the weekend is ending, but this time, I was out of windshield wiper fluid and a key ingredient for dinner (thought the jar was full when it was almost empty ). Three stores to choose from--of course, the first one I picked only had one of the two so I had to go somewhere else for the rest. Sigh.

    "Have you ever thought of cooking the eggs in bacon grease?"

    "GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN!"

    (No, I really didn't yell at him...) We love each other dearly, but talk about Pushme-Pullyou! I cook my eggs in butter. Period. Bacon on the side, usually. Short of Oscar and Felix, you would be hard-pressed to find two people who disagree more on how to do absolutely everything. Once, he instructed me on the most efficient way to exit the Safeway parking lot to get to the jewelry-repair shop a block away. In my town, where I drive the same way every time. Hey! My car, my gas! Gaze of doom.

    Oh, man. I can so relate. His mantra is "I say black, you say white." I want NOTHING on my food, which he tells me is flat out wrong. "All the professional chefs use a lot of salt." (I know I must be crazy, but Kosher salt is much saltier than Morton's) It can't be just cheese, it has to be cheese drizzled silly with honey. It can't be scrambled eggs, it has to be one part eggs to three parts half-and-half. He's the Paula Deen to my Helen Nearing.

    So, we're walking every evening for Health and Wellness. Tuesday evening I stepped on an uneven patch of sidewalk and turned my left ankle, bruised my right knee, right elbow and outside fingers on right hand when I fell. So, several days of ice and rest and the swelling and bruising are going away. Nothing broken, thank whatever power you believe in, because the Last thing I need at this point is more medical bills.

    I tell ya this exercise stuff is Dangerous!

    Current foster dog meets potential adopting family today, everyone gets along, the potential dad is really on board (not sure about the mom) and then Mr. Rescue Dog decides to LIFT HIS LEG AND PEE ON THE CHAIR IN THE LIVING ROOM!

    He has never done this before.

    doh you idiot. This is not showing yourself to be lovable.

    Was this at the adoptive family's house? I'd take that meaning he likes it there. I always hope for the best match. Maybe that wasn't it...

    nah, it was at my house. This dog has been with use for 8 weeks, twice as long as normal. He's a great dog. Several situations have fallen through. We are falling for him and he has GOT to get out of here.
