Good luck Joey. My MIL's doctor reported her but she bullied him into withdrawing it! We finally got her eye doctor to do it.

Greetings Merry Maintainers

Well I am definitely CONTAMINATED. Up to 133.5 today. Thats up 2 pounds in one day!!! All I can figure is the salty mexican food we had last night. Portions not huge (two frozen taquitos and some refried beans).

Maybe the extra two pounds is new grey matter in my brain. I spent an hour or more on the phone with tech support (from India I think) on our gallery computer issues. Computer decided to "eat" four days of sales data. I had to get it back in so I could write the checks to the artists because it was the first. Fortunately it was a slow day so I had the time to do all this financial stuff. The tech guy was great and really knew his stuff but hard to understand at times. Next time that computer messes up I am going to schedule an exorcism.!!!! Of course, having 28 different people of various skill levels using it doesn't help.

Well today I take Tesla down to her breeder so she can have her coat stripped down for April shows. There is also a litter of 6 puppies - 7 weeks old - so I get to play with them. So far no rain and I am hoping it stays dry as this place is on a really bad narrow steep dirt road. Hence will drive the old suv gas hog.

DH is off on his own car adventure. His car had been overheating and he insists on taking it to the dealer 20 miles away. Of course he gets on the highway and it overheats and he has to get it towed. Oh well, his car, not mine. Viva AAA.

Paula glad your son apologized. It is a big deal. So hard to have cranky loved ones. Liz hope the trip goes well. I got a call about my mom's crazy former roommate and I think she is forgetting to pay bills and things so I am going to have to look into that. 

Girl Scout Cookies!!  I just won't buy them - tell them we can't eat sugar. Sometimes just give the kids some $$. They are getting more sophisticated in their marketing. Too bad they don't offer some more healthy items like a trail mix bar. 

Peace and empathy to all.  Diane S

I give the Gir Scouts a cheque for their troop's fund - the same amount I used to spend on cookies, which is far more than they would get from cookie sales, AND is fully tax deductible, unlike cookies. Win-win!!  ;)

Sorry for the car issues Joey. My dad removed various parts from my Grandfather's car to keep him from driving. That worked. But he also took the plugs off Grandpa's power tools and Grandpa put them right back in. Glad he was no mechanic.  Diane S

I thought I had to house and dog sit tonight.  I got the wrong date.  All packed up but hadn't left town yet.  I haven't done much today.  I think the past week of concrete grinding and tool moving has caught up with me.  

FIL discharged and DW is driving them back.  They never really found the cause of his symptoms but he is good for today.  BIL is moving extremities but has weak grip strength.  It will be a long recovery but there is more hope than first thought.  

That's good news.  (Is it David?)  Have been thinking of their situation.  That was a mess!
