I've bought the cut-up watermelon (and canteloup too) when I'm in a hurry and don't want to 'mess with' a whole watermelon - canteloup's aren't quite as big a chore, and we do love them, so I'll usually buy a whole one and cut it up and put in a plastic container, and we'll eat it every night until it's gone!

My hubby went to a customer's house the other day and came home with two huge sacks of fresh vegetables (I just don't garden but won't refuse other's offerings!) One customer gave us TWO HUGE WATERMELONS AND FOUR CANTELOUPS one day! They were so sweet and delicious, but no way could the two of handle all that at once, so we kept one watermelon and two canteloups and gave some friends the others.

Elvis can sing anything, you're right - but his rendition of hymns are especially beautiful. And yes, I am so happy I don't have to put up with dialup anymore. :)

Kitty, if you ever have more problems with satellite than you want to deal with, I would love for you to check into Clear Wire. I NEVER have trouble with my cell phone inside the house, and this works on much the same principle. It's simple to 'install', and no equipment other than a small modem box. And HALF the cost of what I read you mentioned your satellite subscription costs per month!

I’m glad! Maybe they’ll be ready sooner than expected - wouldn’t that be wonderful!

Amy, is there any way that I could ‘bribe’ you and Mr. Just, to come ‘help’ in my garage? I hate the thought of yorkie Jr. having to do it someday, too!!! OMG - I’ll never forgive myself!!!

My garage is/was a big mess.

There is a lot of stuff that I wonder why we saved. I think that I’m a pack rat.

I have boxes of stuff that I never unpacked when we moved into this house. We built an oversize garage so we would have plenty of room for storage. What a mistake!!!

After my Mom died, we cleaned her house and moved several boxes of her stuff to my garage. My sister has been saying for several years that she will come over and we will sort thru my Mom’s stuff.

If we ever get mine cleaned and organized, I’ll ask MrJ if he wants to come help you. LOL

I have four 200 gallon drums full of water. I can’t move them - and they take up a lot of room. I think I’ll have to siphon the water out of each one of them, into the yard - what a mess.

And, I too, have boxes of stuff to go through that I brought home when my dad died.

Then all the Christmas stuff - that I’ll never use again.

What to do oh, what to do......

Alas no. It was in the “Good Old Days”.

It was 13 and a half feet long, made of fiberglass, weighed 300 pounds and had a single sail. I was quite brave. I used to sail around on it in the NORTH ATLANTIC off the Coast of Massachusetts.

Long Gone Now.

When I hear all the stuff Amy is doing and what you say you need to do, it just reminds me of all the stuff around here that needs cleaning out! I can’t hardly stand to go near it.
I’m serious....I have a lot of stuff that I’ve been planning to clean out for years and just cannot get to it!
