Hi Potties! Sounds like all of us are pretty much home bound right now - my case just 'cause I'm too lazy to go out & don't want to use gas until I can do several things at once.
Gordon - You were right about Putin - he's been the same since 1999 - just generally at bad egg. Guess once KGB, always KGB at heart. Sadly, a generation or 2 under the Communist system & many of them like the power it gives the ones at the top.
Didn't realize y'all were getting drowned down there - guess you're lucky it isn't snow & ice like Marson, Katie & Shelly. You & I are lucky we're on high ground when it comes to flooding rain.
How's Sylvia doing with her healing? Is she somewhat behaving?Shelly - The current vacuum is a Shark we got at an auction about 10 yrs. ago & it seems to finally be wearing out. Next time I go to Walmart I'll look at both Shark & Bissell but right now I'm leaning to the Bissell. On-line the cost is about the same for either of them but I'll see what WM cost is for each after I add in sales tax. May buy on-line since both offer free shipping. Been putting off making the buy but lately the house seems furrier than usual so it must be time to make a change.
Did you get your shower doors installed? Hope the weather up your way didn't keep them from coming. How much more do you need to get done before your project is finished?
A bummer about the garage heater. My propane company closed the local office about a year ago & everything is handled by phone now. I'm still getting decent service but I liked it better when I could go by the office & talk to a real person face to face.
I'd love to see your son's new doublewide. He's lucky where he lives is zoned for a mobile home, many places aren't. Where I am required a 2 acre minimum piece of land. What size home did he get? When I had my 28'x70' built in 1990 it cost about $38,000 - I can't imagine what it would cost now. Nice that he has a guest room so that you can visit.Since I had to go up for the mail yesterday, I ran over to the old house for a few minutes. I got 4 of the best carnival glass bowls to bring over here for the rack Zac put up for me a couple of weeks ago. Now to get him back to put up the other rack. It gave me a chance to drag 1 bag of trash out to the car & now it's in the can for pick-up next week. Other than seeing that the birds have plenty of food & getting the fish fed on the warm days, I've been pretty much useless.
Got a call from the folks at U-Haul - they noticed I hadn't moved into the small space yet. Told her I intended to but hadn't had a chance to get somebody to help me do the actual move. I'd start but the 2 things I want in the back are too heavy for me to move by myself. At least they keep an eye on things. Recently somebody broke into storage spaces down in Atlanta & 1 poor fellow had thousands of dollars in musical equipment taken. Bet he didn't have insurance either.
Having a trickle of small sales at the booth - got 3 days left & I just got enough sold to cover the rent. It's been so long since most of our stuff was bought that I'm happy to make the rent & not have to give it all to Goodwill.
Had quite a surprise on Wed. AM - got a call from Bear. He was able to hear me but was wanting me to come to a racetrack in Cartersville (there's no track there) to pick him up. I told him it would take me a while to get there but I knew where he was & I'd find him. That satisfied him. Got a call from Bobby in the office the next day & he wanted information about who Bear saw at Emory for his ears last winter. I actually had a card from one of the doctors & knew where to find it. Hope it helped. He told me Bear can eat finger food by himself but now needs help with forks & spoons. I sort of had a feeling that he was failing as far as caring for himself. Wish I'd been wrong but guess it's best that I'm more prepared for whatever happens in the future.
Supposed to get cooler the next 3-4 days then spring will be back. I'm ready.
Time to feed the zoo. Irish is in my lap but keeps leaving & getting into things to get my attention. That means he's ready to eat - now! Had thought about doing some laundry today but that's all I did - think about it. Maybe tomorrow. NASCAR race in CA tomorrow at 5PM so maybe do laundry while the race is on. Seems less like work that way.
Everybody stay warm or dry, whichever is appropriate. Later.
Susan
