Noteworthy...or not

I believe I have taken all week to accomplish the things I needed to accomplish this week...isn't that someone's principle or law or something and haven't I asked that before?

The UPS and/or FedEx truck can actually drive by our house and not stop.

The cat is diabolical..he opens the bathroom door when I'm showering and then opens it wider to leave, thus creating quite a draft in there. There is no point to his being there at all, ya know.

March snow melt uncovers more than dog poop...remember that bill you thought you paid? Thank Goodness it wasn't my soggy mail under my snow pile.

I have finished all month end and quarter end paperwork..why does it seem to be more of a pain in the neck than it really is?

I fail to understand why anyone would think Terri Shiavo's condition was anyone's business other than hers and her doctors..much less the government of the United States. I was very sad for her for the spectacle that was made of her life/death. Shame on all of the participants...especially Tom Delay. ..and in case anyone has any doubt *I* would not want to be kept alive as she was..got it? Good.

Oh Oh..it's April Fool's Day...no I don't really miss "the rubber band holding down the kitchen sink sprayer" water in the face trick played on me. Most people would have to change their shirts..I am short so I always got sprayed in the face. It never made Mom very happy and Wifey, less so. (water where it doesn't belong and all, ya know) Hope you all surived all the April Fool Tricks..

Have a good weekend all....

Hi Fran, Can't wait for your return to Virginia. I feel very sorry for Terri Schiavo and her entire family, but I'm appalled at our legislators and the President for getting involved. This was a private family matter and that poor woman was exploited for political reasons. I doubt she would have ever wanted her videos showed around the world or her family fighting in that manner. I was in Ohio two weeks ago when all this was heavy in the news. I was placing my father in Hospice care. It was the saddest thing I think I've ever had to do. It was heartbreaking and troubling for my family and I can't imagine having to cross picket lines while trying to take care of my father and say my goodbyes. I don't understand how anyone who says they are on the side of life didn't think that their presence at that Hospice was disturbing to all the other patients and their families. Those associated with Hospice are walking angels. They didn't deserve the type of publicity they received.

Very nicely written, Ida. You always could take the words right out of my head. I'm so very sorry about your father as well. I think the overwhelming opinion of Americans to keep governement out of this very private matter just may be the wake up call this country has needed...I'm just sorry it had to come on the back of this very long suffering woman..she deserves to finally have some peace.
