There's that word again -- TIME TIME TIME......... I have this sneaking suspicion that TIME is not my friend: but on we go. No change on the home front. I've picked myself up off the floor and planted my feet so we have what's called in these parts - a "Mexican-Standoff". No un P/C intention there, it just an old description of two unmovable forces. SO -- he says "I want" and I say NO.
Meantime, I had a long-planned yard sale this past weekend, to unload piles of stuff that has been clogging up closets/storage sheds/cupboards. Amazingly, I did really well! What little was left fit into the trunk of my car and will go to Goodwill today, and I am $450 richer! Whoo-hoo! My daughter came up Saturday to hang out and help out with the sale and we had a wonderful visit. I only had to restrain her from beating up Hubby 3 times, I thought it would be more.........**jeeeesh**
In other good news, the annual Quilt Retreat on the coast is coming up and boy am I looking forward to THAT! My friend that usually goes with me cancelled out because she's pretty upset with me still for leaving the dialysis clinic. (See, we were a team there) so I'll miss having her there, but another friend of mine stepped in and bought her place so I wouldn't be there alone - how nice!!! She told me I need a friend with me at all times, and so she's going and I love her to bits.
I leave you with these funnies - thoughts to live by:
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxativeon the same night.2. Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standingin a garage makes you a car.4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've nevertried before.6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.8. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a niceperson. (This is very important. Pay attention!It never fails.)9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite governmentprogram.10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need thetrip.11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel sogood.13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of thewaist change places.18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeksbefore you need it.20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

Hey Su Bee, looks like you've almost got it all under control! Congratulations on the excellent gathering of finances! Do you think we could get the Government to have a yard sale and raise the money that is needed that? Well....I can dream can't I? *VBS*
Keep doing what you'r doing! Hugs, Finn
