(OT) Rant!!!! by
Pat
I spent the best part of a day getting ready to bring six of the horses into
my yard to eat down the grass, since I have no mower. This preparation
consists of first setting up a temporary electric fence around the garden so
they won't destroy it.
Here are the steps I followed:

(OT) Rant Mom's Estate - a Cautionary Tale by
jmcquown[_2_]
It's almost done. I got notification from the Probate Court stating as far
as they are concerned the estate is settled. So I met with a guy at H&R
Block last Thursday to work on her final tax form (Form 1041). That's going
to cost me $300. The process seems a little backwards to me; seems...

(OT) Purrs Please by
Fi
My husband went into the hospital last week for what should have been a
routine stay related to his heart condition. His kidneys are now failing and
the doctor told us if they can't turn this around he's going to die.
I can't stop crying.

(OT) Please advise on electricity by
Pat
I just got the first electric bill for this house, and I am positively
stunned at the amount. They say I used 1,433 KWH electric in one month.
How is that possible? I have a small fridge, the water heater was off for
the first week and set on 110 F. the rest of the time. Aside from those...

I have a hard-copy of what's on the okay foods list along with daily serving

scan it and email it to you if you give me your email address (mine isn't
munged). This link might be helpful and says pretty much the same...

Spent the day putting up fencing (wood privacy type, and not the
pre-assembled panels, but one-slat/picket at a time) in the back yard
(room for Annie, the D-pet to run, sine she's part whippet), and now
muscles I didn't even know I had are hurting.... and I have to do the
same tomorrow. ...

the other parties in the sale made $42 and the host made $1.85.

I Love Lucy. There's no getting around it, Lucille Ball was an original
comedic genius.
I really like the show Cold Case. Kathryn Morris (Detective Lilly Rush) has
a cat who is missing one eye and another that is missing a leg. Her
co-worker (Jeremy Ratchford as Nick) shows up at her...

I learned, there are some readers/posters in this NG who sometimes

I went to the memorial service yesterday. It was a beautiful UU

meant to them. There were heart-wrenching stories, and laughter both.
The hard part for me was finding out what I had suspected, but did not
know for sure. Phil...

I hate it when I have to stay awake till the watch is over. This one's on
until 1:00 AM. The sirens in this town are not loud enough to wake me. I
need to get a NOAA weather radio that can be set to sound alarm when a
tornado warning is issued. Also need to cut a trap door in the floor so I
can get...

market where I live. He said I would need to have it completely cleaned,
including the carpets. Get it in "showing condition" so he can list...
