Hi Voltatics!
Eveie, keep on keepin on and things will work out.
Rave, hope you're doing OK.
Terry, patience is a virtue, especially when looking for a house. It's tough but hang on in there and something will come along that's work for you.
NJ is the mosquito capitol of the world, I think. They may not be really big, but they are "NJ tuff"! I went out to the garden the other day at about 7:30 or so and got nailed good. During the day it's either been too hot or too windy for them to be a problem, but as sunset approaches they come out like a dust storm approaching. It drives my IP camera nuts.
I had a "lost weekend". I got up early Saturday and got Bo walked and fed, laundry started and me fed. I sat on the couch watching the world go to heck in a hand basket waiting for the laundry to dry and all of my get up and go got up and went. I haven't felt that tired and achy in a really long, long, time. I even took a nap in the afternoon and it didn't help. Sunday was a recovery day but by Monday I sort of felt OK. I'm back to what passes for normal for me now.
I try to stay away from discussions about religion. They tend to be more of a circular argument than even politics. What works for each of us is the right choice in both cases.
