I'll try to put together a "tutorial" over the weekend. I don't know what software you're using, but I should be able to give you the idea of how it works.
YES OF COURSE!
Actually in my family, at least as far as I am concerned, things happened that I think should not have way before my parents got sick and then passed away. Pieces of the puzzel fell into place and I did not like the picture. So I have put a little distance between me and one of my brothers. I closed no doors but I have got to the point where I am not going to be the only one who puts forth effort to see family and when I am told one day how much easier it is for me ( us) to make the trips to TX than for them to plan for 5 people, shcedules, etc..blah and then two days later have the niece tell me the whole family is going to Canada! Well, that is when I decided the hell with this crap. We are not made of a lot of money and I finally told the hubster ( well I made my comment to friends in front of the hubster) that if family members can plan trips to Canada, France, Iceland, Key West and parts unknown..then they can dam& well plan a trip our way once in awhile. Why should our trip dollars always be tied up with visiting family to the point we never get to go on our own high adventures when they can! So not only did we plan and go on a wonderful trip, I kept the news secret from my brothers. I did not tell one because he would just mention it as a by the way...and I did not tell the other one because then his wife would insist on going to the moon..she has to keep up status wise or be a head of others to be satisfied. So I am just sitting her like the cat that ate the canary...smug in the knowledge that we had a wonderful time. and one day when they brag all about their trip to timbucktoo I'll say, Well I saw the Queen on the 50th Jubilee! hehehehehe
So of course Mo, you can come with us the next time we go off on a great adventure! but you cant tell my brothers.
I hate sales people and the one place I went to .. the guy was a complete moroon ... kept trying to sell me a $40,000 min van
Finally I looked at the guy and said .. why would I spend 40 grand on a car my kids will puke in ..
The look on his face was priceless .. LOL
Don't you say one thing about being stupid, Ratty! :)
LOL .. works for me
Right about now I ready to move out of the state
LOL .. you should seen this guy .. he kept showing me these cars .. and I kept saying .. you have in others
He says sure .. what color would you like .. I said I could care less about the color .. I'm more concerned with the sticker price
He didn't get my point ..
I am really looking forward to getting a larger place with an actual guestroom, which will be kept cat-free. I need a place for my mom to stay when she visits, she is very allergic to cats!
LOL .. well one place they only had the fully loaded cars on the lots .. so I asked about the prices on car with a different package
He says .. well our 0% finance ends tomorrow
I said .. that's nice .. how much is the car
He says ... we sold 4 cars from the lot yesterday
I said .. wow I'm really happy for you .. how much is the car
I think I confuse the guy .. cause he did have answer .. LOL
If I had to do it again, I would not have wall to wall carpet in my house. I would go with those nice hardwood floors and then have a nice oriental. What I have had to do to protect the undersides of my beds is store things under the bed so the cats can't hide there. One time we had a rare storm here and Nacho, a kitten then< got so scared he tore the fabric of the underside of the bed and hid there.
