It still is disgusted when I don't go where it tells me but now it does it in an English accent.

Probably about time we repost this so nobody gets their feelings hurt.

Morning team.

It's Monday. I'm confused. Kinda weirded in the head from allergies. DH was up all night as he is on Korea time then left for work. Sun is shining outside but its wet from all the rain.

I've been working on my genealogy. Interesting to see were you come from.

Have a good one.

Can be interesting or irritating or confusing.
I appear to be descended from a long line of Horse thiefs.
chaikwa can be traced to Piltdown man,
and some of the other DTR members don't even appear to be from our planet.

Happy Monday, gang.

HEY, I THINK I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS. Scotty promised to email by noon today if he did NOT go into surgery today. It is now 4 and no email. Sooooo, hopefully the big ole galloot is in surgery. Wow, what an ordeal and it is not over yet - - at least one more to go. Say a prayer for him - - tough and nasty operation and recovery. We are with you, Scotty.

Just got in from the court house getting more paperwork handled. Boy, don't ever consent to be an executor of a will unless you really love that person. Not fun and especially when the records are not well filed and all over the place - - - or not, just hints that something is somewhere. Go find it.

OK, just dropped by to say hi and let you know the news that we hope is happening. Hey, that means I can have ph00 and not worry about the Crazee Canuck messing with it. ............................On second thought, I would rather have him messing with it, but only after he is better.

Bob

I'll never figure out women and old people! First you ain't happy when he messes with it, and now that he's NOT messin' with it, you want him to.

Well Bob, Good news is that if you do all you have to look for is the place with the crooked sign and the saw garage...
