Re: Wiley,
Sounds like what we call 'interns' in the US, some paid, some not, and some just over summer, some for longer.

Re: Wow, my friend, you sure have a busy life. Good for you!
LOL, Darson. It seems like that, doesn't it? I'm competing with elinjo and vogue, except mine all happen in the same place!

Re: We need days like this for the contrast...
I agree, Ciel. That crazy pendulum keeps swinging...a perfect antidote to boredom, lol!

Wiley,
"Stagiares" is the French term for students who need to spend time working in a real office as a required part of their course. If they don't get accepted somewhere, they don't get their diploma. They are not paid, but it does involve time to show them what to do I use that word because I'm really not sure what the English term is for it. Do you know?

is when I'm growling, Merkie. Have to admit one could hear a low rumble from me that day, LOL!

Yep, Pat-B. Don't need too many of those days in a row. I like Taylor's tunes!

Once again, TAPS, congratulations!
Possibility of twins, huh? So it would be 11 instead of 10 for the count. I doubt I'll catch up to you. My son seems certain this is his last one, my daughter will have no more, and my other son & DIL have decided they will spoil the nephews & nieces instead.

Thanks for the writing comment, Sam444
Great news for your house!! Youth does tend to live in the present, and you're right, it is not a bad thing. He admits that it could have been worse, but I'm not sure it bothers him all that much. His view is - it isn't worse, so why worry about it? I'm working on the Bud & vet adventure and will post it asap.

Hopefully the pendulum swings merrily the other direction... and gets a little stuck!
Congratulations on the new child a-comin'!

You're busier as a mom and grand-mom than I was as a parent of 9. I love your caring for your brother, what a loving lady you are and what a great family you were raised in.Now tell me what 'stagiares' are please??

Yes to the new addition! The old adage in effect "it never rains but it pours" seems to have stormed into your lives. Glad the crisis is over and we see your smile again.

What a day. So, a new baby is on its way. I bet you are excited. And thanks for being a midnight household chore worker like myself. Gratifying to know that there are other "crazies" around and we are definitely good company.

Florida Son called and the news is that I am to be grandma again. It will be #10, which doesn't count step-grandchildren. Son tells me it will be the last, since he is now 47, and since the other children there are asking "Where will we put it?" Their house is pretty full of them. LOL. This baby was planned and is very much wanted, but son is praying that it will be only one. His wife is a twin.

Throughout this havoc, our one toilette blocked and “runneth over” sums it up. And I’m glad that everything worked out love. BC-A, Bill’s RJJst

Oh my! Just one of those things per day would be bad enough for me. You have enough of them there to last for a month of Sundays. My DIL sent me an email yesterday telling me that they have some very special news to tell me and to expect a phonecall from son today. I am expecting it to be news of another grandchild on the way. We shall see.

Man alive!!! It is raining inside and outside in your domain! Wow! I am so happy the lad was not hurt! I so adore youth, he truly doesn't understand how close he came to being gone! They think in the present and that is good to a point! I have had my account broken into and money taken, it is so devastating! I am glad he got it back, that is a lot of money to a young guy, actually anyone! I can't wait to hear the vet story! Your writing is fabulous and I know it will be exciting and entertaining! Here is a big
for you and have a great Wednesday! BTW, my house is officially gone, it funded yesterday! Woohoo! sam
