Hi Dennis.... <waving> I looooove my new home, 'n thanks for asking. As for the contractor finishing everything, well, it's more like did he finish even ONE thing? The answer to that is a resounding "NO!" However, an outstanding handyman was referred to me, and HE's been completing each project I come up with (and hasn't made TOO many wise cracks about me being the most left-handed person he's EVER built "lefty-style" things for (Ok.... ok..... so the REST of the world'll feel a little off-balance, but a fellow southpaw'd feel right at home!) <grin> AND (pssst) <whispering> Actually, I kinda over-did it with the yellow paint , but if you don't tell, I won't tell, and maybe no one'll notice? <giggle> As doe Ivan and the rest of the world, well, life must be one long constant battle for him, going by his posts. He seems to have lots more lemons than lemonade to deal with. Plus he has found he can milk the List members for a few bucks every so often be telling us all some terrible tragedy is about to befall him. Or rather, he gets his "staff" of 3 or 4 sycophants to post saying he needs money and THEY solicit funds for him. (knee-jerking yet?) <giggle>. Right after his fire I felt soooo sorry for him that I whipped out my check book and dropped a check in the mail to him, little realizing that I was expected to continue that practice for the duration of is and/or my life! Needless to say, when I realized THAT, that was definitely the ONLY money he'll get from MOI! Sheepish! HE's getting a larger SSDI stipend than _I_ am and I'm sending HIM money? WHAT is wrong with THIS picture?!?!?!? BOY!! Is my knee jerking NOW..... Errrrrr.... this IS just between US, right, Dennis? I don't wanna feel like a fool (and I do) before God and the rest of the world for being suckered into sending Ivan $$ Take care now, ya hear?
