Hey TrEEgirl - great title for the new thread. Really applicable for some of the big stuff that's been going on for you guys at the TrEEhouse.

I like the new scenery for you guys. But it is scratchy isn't it? Check for ticks. For now it's just good to see how the two of you are relating to each other. Refreshing.

As for the $...well, if you can, look at it as therapy $ for H for right now? You know, one of the big reasons IGgy & I separated (among many [Roll Eyes] ) was his need to rescue the family (and friends and aquaintenaces - the gas station attendant...) who refused to rescue themselves. Nothing left for us. It was really extreme as was everything. Guess what? It's changed. Not saying if someone has a valid need we wouldn't help - and sometimes we just give for no reason. But no one besides us is counting our income as part of theirs. And no one will again if I have anything to do with it.

It just takes time and direction. Anyway, you guys are aces baby! Really, I'm happy for you.

U - that was basically what Aretha said to Matt Guitar Murphy before she told him he had to think in Blues Brothers.

And for all the birthday songs, I say Dutchess had the best. But I just like her style anyway [Smile] .
