Christine! 213 garden bulbs! What could anyone say? How many people have had the opportunity to talk to someone who has purchased 213 bulbs? What should I suggest????. Do you have one of those metal do-giggies that you stick in the ground to make a hole for the bulbs? If you don't & if your bulbs are tulips, maybe you will want to stick most of them in a couple of flower pots!

Congratulations! Good you sold your car. My girlfriend has a similar problem with a late 1980s Jag. She figured it cost her $6.00 per mile to run her car. And most of the time, it didn't run. Like your Mercedes, her Jag sat in a garage, sometimes, for 10 weeks!

I'd never thought that you would view a conspiracy theory as a way of making sense out of chaos. It does make sense! Usually, most people don't like chaos. I tend to live in it but that's okay. I survive. Dodie sure had a problem with paying his bills! It wasn't a secret! Nothing new here! It's good to hear that you don't have the flu! Do you plan to plan 213 bubls this weekend? Cheers!

So you got rid of that little cherry Varoooomm! I think I too might have made a BIG mistake with MY half of OUR money. I had been wanting a truck for years. About a month ago, I saw a '70 Ford half ton for $850. I figured there was no way I could lose. I actually saw the truck in passing and knowing the guy who was selling it, made a commitment to buy it before really looking it over. After taking a closer look, I thought I might have spoken to soon, but as I had made a commitment to buy the truck, felt compeled to follow through with the purchase as I had given my word. Today, when S.J. gets home from work, we'll go pick it up from a fellow who just replaced the steering box. After talking to him Wed. night, he told me all kinds of things which would probably need to be replaced on it, and that did not include what I already knew. It would take about $2000 to fix it up to be in good driving condition. Ouch!! He told me if it were him, he'd take it and trade it for something better and newer. I feel as though I might as well have taken that money, driven down the road, and flung it out the window, and been a lot happier in the process. Live and learn. I had thought about buying a membership for S.J., but being rather protective of what she may encounter after speaking to some I am not so sure I would want her to be subjected to such. I wouldn't define her as a liberal, but she is a woman after all. She will feel guilty about thinking bad about people at times. I tell her to just forget about it, it is not that big of a deal!! Hey, maybe that is the one way we could actually communicate with one another! I sure would like to keep that truck. Just think of all the firewood I could haul with it. How much wood would you normally burn in a season? I've got 6 pallets of one year seasoned in our backyard and I bet it will be gone before March. That is about all the jabber I can think of for now.(A huge sigh of relief is heard from the crowd) Another time To those simply reading but not participating: Want ta bullshit, just knock on my door. I like to think of myself as pretty easy going most of the time. Of course, if you're an expert at something, don't bother, but to those of you who aren't, please feel free any time. The more the merrier (hopefully)
