I know I'm in the minority here but some of your emails seemed to be awfully angry. It's not the level-headed Gardener I know from the boards.
You think so? Well, I'm always willing to examine a well-meaning observation, but in the last week I got (really) peeved only twice. Having come upon the idea of relieving dire financial sitch by renting 2nd Master Bedroom Suite, X (showing up unannounced) first announces that that means she'll have to "credit me with less $ when the house sells," and then last night she demands a portion of the rent proceeds if I do rent it (after contributing not a cent to this house in a year and a half!)
Frankly, after examining both my posts and my heart, those were the only two things that "set me off" in quite a while. Lately the alien life-form comes out of left field and it's always about money, money, money!
And this from the end of last night's livid post:

Thanks, CTH. I'll give that some more thought, even though I thought I'd reached an even keel lately (except for last $unday and la$t night!)
Gotta go. Rene Marie and Awoken just started playin' on the ipod!
