Afternoon Volt peeps and Papa. I saw you having fun in that thread!! Why didn't they just move it?
They may have run with that thread for a special reason unknown to the board in general. Who knows what mysteries mods hold in their computers. I don't worry about it.
Hi Princess. Good question, maybe because it was more fun to have that thread, where it didn't belong. LOL
There is another form of trollery-- complaining for inconsequential reasons. They are the ones who see that, not us mere plebians.
That's a good idea. If I wait for Hubby to get it all planted then wait for him to go pick stuff, I should be down to almost no produce really quickly.
Lizzie, it's hard for him to see the flaws in his plans when you make everything go so smoothly, and then some.
Stick to your guns - life's too short to not have any fun.
You are so right, Cindycated!!!!
Thanks guys...I guess I am frustrated that Hubby can't seem to see that this is just so not fun anymore.
We hired kids a couple of times to help but Hubby likes to talk and I can't afford to pay people to hang out and talk with him. Besides, I don't want to be a farm and guess who would end up doing all the paperwork.
Hi Jer.
Hi, Evie.
I love the horsey pics, Trit.

Hallelujah!!!!! Now give the poor woman and bf some time to rest and recover. With six people to unload, should be a breeze. We are talking about three months of unrelenting frustration and anxiety here.
I'm glad she made it safely and with no major headaches, at least none we've heard of so far anyway.
Yay, Terry! I'm so glad to hear you arrived safe & sound. Now to get possession of the house and move in! I expect some busy days ahead. Let us know how you're doing when you can.
JUST AN FYI:
SO - Very happy to read that "Terry" Is finally at "Raves" . . .

Headaches are in the past. we pray no major headaches in the future.
Are you kidding me? It's just beginning. SHE'S A HOMEOWNER NOW! 
Congrats, Terry!
Congrats, Terry!
Wasp update: Today, there seemed to be less yellow jackets around, though I did catch & kill 6 in the house, buzzing against windows. This evening, the landlord & his son came, drilled a hole in the bedroom wall, and squirted more poison in it, sealing the hole off quickly with duct tape. I was hoping that no maddened yellow jackets would escape into the house, and it seems they didn't. Tomorrow, when the sun comes out, we'll see what the population looks like. Another worry I had was that the poison would back up and get into the house, but I haven't smelled anything weird, so I think they contained it all quickly enough. Please send vibes that the problem is over.
Today, after catching 6 wasps buzzing at the windows and periodically checking, which found them, I went to the dentist (just a checkup and teeth cleaning) and then to tutoring. The little girl is getting quite an attitude, and again, she didn't do her homework. I'm dangling a trip to the zoo as a reward, and I'll have to check with their mom, but maybe the boy will get to go, and we'll leave the girl behind. I think the threat of that would motivate her again.
She used to be the good student, and the boy had the attitude problem. I don't know why it switched, but I'm glad the boy is getting better. Looking back, I think that the boy developed problems when he was at about the stage of learning his sister is now at. Maybe there's a hump there, when things get a little harder, and if he overcame it, she probably will, too. I'll just have to be patient but firm meanwhile.
One thing I found fun today was that I had the boy read a poem with the rhythm of it. He has a rather flat delivery when reading aloud, and this may help. Meanwhile, it's an introduction to the various rhythms poetry can have. He was reluctant to try, so we read the poem together several times with me accentuating the rhythm, and then he read it solo with hesitant but detectable rhythm. He is really starting to come together! I think he finds it satisfying to be the good student for a change!

Time to say good night. This photo is dedicated to Terry, who hoped to get to Indiana in time for the fall foliage. Are you enjoying it, Terry? Is it still at peak? Ours is past peak but there are still some colored leaves to be enjoyed.
