mindfull, I'm so pleased to have your input here. I have a few responses to some of your responses:
*I can't imagine renovating and restoring a 1911 home. I've had enough trouble with my 1988 home (also known affectionately as the money pit).
*Glad your pastor came to pray over your abode, but sorry it didn't have much effect. Was this a Lutheran pastor? Everyone knows you go Catholic in these circumstances. Who better to perform an exorcism??
*Chelsea Handler. The Moses of her people. She is certainly worthy of quoting. Have you read My Horizontal Life? Hilarious.
*The mindfull input? Priceless. "MINDFULL INPUT - If you'd communicate to me how bad you're feeling, acting, living, etc... you wouldn't HAVE TO LEAVE to get my attention, f*ck face."
*So you enjoyed the bird fiasco, huh? What if I told you that something very similar had happened just a few months earlier? There were a few differences in that instance, though. The previous instance involved H's big idea to use a pair of pantyhose, the vacuum cleaner, a plastic grocery bag, and an umbrella. Truly a disaster.
*While the Real Housewives are entertaining, I so enjoy NBC on Thursday nights. Funny fiction is the way to go. I get enough reality living my own troubled existence.
*If you have a similar Adirondack/yard set-up, I highly encourage you to use it. It's almost necessary to have a glass of wine in the outdoors every now and then.
*Ah, yes. The Easter dinner story. I kept wondering if I was getting punked or something. As for my thumbs, I have made a full recovery. I cannot believe it caused such consternation and disbelief. Who would lie about that?? I still don't get it!
*A fellow only child AND turtle guardian? We're two peas in a pod, you and I.
