Especially ME. So he's trying to figure out a better way to secure it without ruining anything.

Some twenty penny barn spikes usually do the trick for me.

Must think of something positive that's energizing. Negativity and depression are real bummers. And knowing that they are is never good enough to overcome them.

I'm glad everything went smoothly, rest well!

I still have a list, because there is a LOT of stuff still to do. Such as painting the remainder of the inside of the house, power washing the outside, refinishing several pieces of furniture (I'm thinking LOTS of Tung Oil), about 100 loads of laundry, go through my closet and get ride of the stuff I haven't worn since 1980 .... and so much more.

It's impossible to keep them off me when I'm in bed. Most typical is what I call a "five cat night" where they all sort of spread themselves across me, leaving only my face uncovered.

For me, it was pain pills and a long nap. Followed by a very early bed time.

Humpf.... I would have thought it would be a biography of Kevin.

Well, thanks. I don't want you all to spend a lot of time worrying about me, but it's really nice to know that you do. That's why I love you guys (and ladies, you as well).

I just got the cashiers check for my downpayment (almost barfed), and just packed up more stuff. Leaving soon to close

Okay - as you were - carry on .....

Thank goodness, the flow of chocolate will continue as normal.

Can I assume you haven't found a way around the geographical restrictions at Fictionwise? It wouldn't be quite as bad if the UK had a decent ebook store offering the same selection at similar prices. What will we do if US ebook stores are all forced to impose geographical restrictions on all or most of their books?

Are you nervous? Good luck, and congratulations on your new home.





We should throw you a virtual housewarming. What do you still need for your home that we can show you but can't get you, virtually speaking that is?

Not nervous, just excited

Oooh, a Kitchen Aid mixer please

[Lady Blue]

You can exchange it for another color if you want. You didn't say what color scheme you had.

Now you can make us some virtually fresh baked homemade bread when you get back from the closing. I can virtually smell it already. mmmmmmmm.

[Curly]

Congratulations on the new house! Is everything packed up and ready to go?

[Lady Blue]

You're all invited to lilac-jive's virtual housewarming, visited separately. Look around. It's there in the lounge. I don't know how to link to it. But you've all just received a virtual invitation. Let's show lilac_jive how excited we are for her and get her all the virtual stuff she needs for her new home.

Thanks a bunch desertgrandma. I've got to learn how to do some of this basic stuff. I suffer from a forum know-how deficiency. Is there a pill for that?

Oh, I've done that with outside links. Duh. Just never occurred to me to do it for IN HOUSE links. Duh, again.
