Happy birthday to Dan, then. Homemade lasagna is so good, and the cake sounds scrumptious. I am all tied up in knots, again. We counter-offered on the house I posted the link to - the guy is asking $304.95K, and we countered with $300K. And I am afraid that someone else will come along and offer more and we won't get it, all for a measley $4950. We signed the counter at 6:00, just two hours ago, sitting in front of the house, in our agent's car. We were in the neighborhood looking at a cheaper house, and I thought, jeest, for $15K we could have a much, much nicer house, am I nuts? So we went back and looked it over, and wrote the offer. And I know that our agent had to drive all the way back to her office in the driving rain, and fax it, and the guy had to go to his office and get the fax and then he and his wife have to look it over, and they may wait to see if someone else puts an offer in the meantime because they had another open, yadda yadda yadda. This is worse than waiting for "him" to call.

Oh jeez ~ I forgot to say happy birthday to Dan! Happy Birthday ~ Dam!!! He must be a Gemini? MJ is a Gemini! Like; who cares. But, if you think you have trouble with dates, one day MJ came home from work, and she had a cake. I thought it was pretty odd, and I said, (really no shit), "Was it someone's birthday?" "Yah. Mine." Oooooooooooooooooh doggies. I await, after all these years, anyone's suggestion for how to back out of that. I don't mean how to avoid it, duh; I mean What To Do. I say, It Can't Be Done.

Animals don't feel guilt. Penni -- if you say that, you have never owned a dog. All I had to do was to look at Leo in a certain way, and he would crawl off the couch, back curved, tail under, a woeful, pitiful look of abject penitence all over his dogface... I have to confess we even used to tease him, from time to time. Someone would walk into the room, and say "Leo!" in an reproving tone, and he would crawl out, in that same abject posture, begging for mercy. Then someone else would walk in, and say "Leo!" in that same tone, and then a third person....By this time the poor dog would be in such a frenzy of forgiveness-seeking -- and asking himself, no doubt: "Now what have I done? Now what have I done?" -- that we would break down, and give him as many reassurance hugs as we could. I know it was all a leftover from puppy-potty-training, but still! Animals feel no guilt? Sez who? Joan
