Monday Monday.

Today was heck. I would still be at work if it wasn't for the slave labor in the office. (students)I did finally get out of there around 3:45 and made my way home. Tugger has finally relaxed abit around Copper. I actually saw them sniffing each others noses without and hissing and darting about. Copper seems to not like the dry kitten chow we got for him so I got some sliced ham fro the fridge and he nearly bit my fingers as I trying to tear it up into small pieces. I then went to our local grocery store and got him some soft food. I am trying to fatten him up. He looks bigger than he really is with his fluffy coat, but when you pick him up you can feel his ribs and back bone. He has had a coughing spell yesterday and again today. He plays, naps, purrs and eats so I am not too concerned but if this keeps up he will be going to the vet for a check up. I think he had a difficult time getting food at the Humane Society because he was the smallest kitty in the bunch. The rest of them seemed to lay about and not be interested in me but this little guy was the life of the room. He was the first kitty I saw entering the room and I don't think he left my field of view the whole time. He jumped climbed and clambered to stay with me and in direct sight. I have to say he worked hard for his adoption and He is adorable. We just heard a load bang coming from the bathroom. Copper just knocked the soap dish on the side of the tub on the floor. I feel this is just the start of kitty curiosities.

We will survive...

Well it as a little rough but we survived the first night. First things Needles saw getting up this morning was Copper on the recliner snoozing away. As you might now we are a bit on the unusual side and don't allow fuzzy people on the furniture or tables. We have had some success with this plans but have had a few set backs. I am currently training Copper to stay off the furniture. Before when I was training Tugger to do so, I was at home most of the time and could correct his behavior. I don't feel like I will be so successful with this one. He has just jumped onto my lap while I have been typing this blog entry about 5 times. I tell him "NO" in a stern voice and place him back on the floor. After he got tired of jumping on me he decided to jump into the other recliner. I quickly removed him and placed him on the floor as before. I guess he decided to give up and lay on the floor. He is currently sacked out on one of Needles bags of yarn. If he gets into it Oh Well she's been warned. Tugger has been having a rough go of it these last few days. I am sure he is stressed and doesn't know exactly what's going on. He has relapses into some bad behavior I think mostly for attention. I did manage to give him some rubbins in the back room but when Copper entered the room he started making weird noises. After a few more rubbins he spun around smacked my hand with claws out and gave me the stink eye. I think this is going to take some time. A little while later while walking into the back room he ran and jumped on the freezer. This is Tugger language for you may rub me now. I approached cautiously as to not be dooped. As I got closer he stretched his little neck to rub his head in my hand. I think he is settling down some but it will still be a few days before I see any improvement in his temperament. Wish me luck in my endeavor.

New Member Of The Family.

Today I admit I was up to some devious plans. My friend we will call him "D" called and asked if I wanted to go to the big city with him to the pet store for aquarium supplies. I agree and I set of to his house around noon. While at the big city I went to the Humane Society and found Tugger a little brother. When I brought him home Needles was set aback and "L" was quick to give him head scritchens. Let's just say Tugger was less impressed. For several seconds little boy walked around the living room and even came within feet of a just waking Tugger without any reaction. Then he smelled him then saw him and there was a hiss and then off behind the recliner with him. This is the second night in a row Tugger has spent behind the recliners. Well I guess I should tell you our new housemates name. His name is Copper and he is around 3 months old. He is very very affectionate and likes to lick and watch TV. I know it will take some time for the two felines to get acquainted with each other but I hope Tugger settles down soon. Copper seems to feel right at home already. Needles is having to watch her knitting as Copper enjoys the yarn......And her hair. I will keep you posted on how things work out with our feline friends.

SATURDAY!!!!! Where's the remote?

Today is Saturday and I am relaxin. I think Needles and "L" are going down to her house to check on things and while they are there I am gonna have fun......Yep you guessed it. I am stripping the beds and washing up the linen. Doesn't that sound like fun boys and girls? No. Well it isn't that much fun but it needs to be done and tomorrow will be the perfect day to do it with everyone out of the house for a while. I think kitty boy has calmed down since his traumatic visit of the little person last night. She must have really messed him up. He would come to anybody last night. When I did rangle him and pick him up he was to fidgety to hold and I didn't feel like forcing the issue and giving blood at the same time so I let him go and hide. He did however seem to forget all about the stressful ordeal when I went back and noticed I could see the bottom of his food bowl through the residual food, so I put in some more food and here he came a runnin. I did get some laptime in for ole fuzzy face this morning and he was rather relaxed.
Since Needle's Mom "L" is staying with us, I have relaxed my grip on the T.V. remote and have been more open to watch shows I normally wouldn't watch and that they like. I can tolerate Law & Order and some of the other shows I don't care much for, but I am currently watching Trading Spaces (not by choice) and I think stabbing myself in the thigh with a kitchen knife and working it around until I hit the bone would be more fun. I hope this torture goes quick and I survive it. I spent enough time on this blog posting to survive the show and the channel thankfully has been changed. I am glad I was almost on my way to the kitchen.

Fatty McFaterson Had To Have The FULL Rack.

Tonight Needles, "L" Needles Mom and I went to the Trace Inn for supper. Needles had the sirloin, "L" had the catfish and I had the BBQ ribs. Usually I just get the half rack but tonight for some reason I had to make a Pig of myself and went for the full rack. Man were they good and after they were gone I was miserable. You would think that when you are eating and your sides start to hurt and it's difficult to swallow the mouthful of food you currently have in your mouth that you would get some sort of hint that you need to stop. Not me, I just keep on shoving it in. Needless to say it was a blissful misery. As I set there rubbing my full fat belly we received a visitor. It was "L's" friend "K" she dropped in an brought her cute granddaughter "J". Very, very cute and shy at first but after a few minutes she came out of her shell and was wanting to play with our kitty. I held him while "J" rubbed him calling him COT. Shortly after that he didn't want any part of the little one resolved to hiding behind the end table until the threat was gone. After "J" was gone Tugger went wild. I think it was adrenaline left over from the fight or flight mode. He did take out some of his frustration on his little stuffed white we bought at Wally World. Let me tell you that little 88 cent stuffed toy has saved us on several doctor bills and trips to the E.R. He really like to rip into it when he is frustrated or excited. I think I have sewed the toys leg back on 2 times. Poor white kitty but better you than me.
"L" had a doctors visit today and got a clean bill of health. The people in the office were amazed she had open heart surgery just 2 weeks ago. She will be continuing to stay with us until maybe sometime next week. We are just taking it day by day. I am glad the next day is Saturday and I can sleep late.

Not Much To Say.

I haven't posted anything over the last couple days and I can't think of much to say tonight. Needles and I had our 9 year anniversary yesterday and had a nice evening. I doesn't seem like 9 years. It seem like only yesterday we were going to the movies and watching Michael ( our first movie and date.) Needles says it seems like she has always known me and that when she thinks of things she did as a little girl, she thinks I should have been there. Isn't it funny how with the passage of time the timeline of things seems to become jumbled. I have to admit that my brain doesn't keep track very well and time seems to be slipping by quicker every year. With all the stuff that has happened around here so far this year I guess I am just kinda numb to normal life and other than the anniversary nothing seems blog worthy. Usually I can come up with a blog posting but I have resolved to just ramble on and see what happens....... Nope... nothing is coming to me at the moment so I guess I will just post this and call it done. Maybe I will be inspired tomorrow... Probably not.

And The Hits Just keep On Comin.

Yesterday while at work I received a phone call form my sis in law. She stated that my brother was laying on the floor in the bathroom and that he had hit his head. Apparently he had hurt his back while picking up my chunk of a niece about a moths ago and has had some back trouble off and on ever since. While lifting something out of the back of his truck he threw his back out. The next day he had an appointment with a chiropractor and was in the bathroom getting ready for his appointment. He thought he would try to stand up straight. When he did the pain was so intense he passed out and fell and hit his head on the tub. After he fell he couldn't get back up because of his back so his wife called me to ask what to do. I told her that if he couldn't get up to get in the car that she needed to call the ambulance and take him to the E.R. About 30 minutes later they arrived in the E.R. She was able to get her brother and a friend to wrestle him into the truck to take him to the hospital. After a CT scan of his head was normal....Well as normal as it can be for him, he was given some medication for his back and told released to see his regular physician the next day. He seems to be doing better but I wonder if the universe has it out for my family. I told the people at work that if I go down sometime during the day, to just kick me aside and just keep working. My boss assured me that this would not be the case. She said that they would prop me up so that I could continue to work. Now that's love.

Weekend!

Yesterday I resigned to do nothing. I mean nothing. I didn't even get out of the house. Needles went to the local video rental place and picked up a couple movies. She rented The Brother's Grimm. It was O.K. I don't think I would watch it again. If you wanted to kill a couple hours watch it but otherwise if you would rather watch the grass grow or paint dry go for it. She also picked up Millions. Which I am not sure why its called millions unless they adapted the fact that billions here is different than billions in England to millions and I still think the name is wrong. It should have been named Hundreds of Thousands. It was a cute movie. The children actors made me believe the part and there emotions seemed genuine. The camera work had some interesting shots and the quirkiness of English culture is a hoot at times. " At Christmas time everyone is burgled." We also watched a movie I had bought in the past as Needle's Mom haven't seen it. It was Fantastic Four, I guess it is good since I have seen it about 4 times now. We also watched Madagascar. A cute funny movie but it seemed to lack the punch of other animated movies in the recent past. ie. Finding Nemo, Iced Age. The one part of the movie that sticks out in my brain and I will be singing it over the next few days is the "I Like to Move It..Move It" Song. The dancing lemures was great. We also watched Second Hand Lions. It is very good and I highly recommend it. I have seen it a couple times and would watch it again. Robots has been out for awhile and finally got to see it. The cutest and best part of the movie was in the first 5 to 10 minutes then Robin Williams character enters and the rest is shot. I can't stand Robin Williams anymore. I did like him in select rolls. Aladdin, Good Will Hunting, Millennium Man and maybe Good Morning Vietnam. I just can't tolerate the manic nature of his performance. After Needle's Mom went to bed we watched White Noise. I rank scary movies tougher than other types of movies and this one should have never been made. It is a interesting concept and maybe the book was spookier but this movie had potential and it fell flat. I have to say one of the creepiest scary movies I have seen somewhat recently was The Grudge. A Japanese scary movie adapted for American audience and it did so nicely. If you haven't seen it watch it late at night with all the lights off in the house and only the flicker of the T.V. don't forget a blankie. Heh Hee!
Today we are going down to Needles Mom's place for her to refresh supplies and to make sure the house is still there. She will be returning home with us later as she has to get some more labwork done and she cannot drive herself to the hospital yet. I have to change the oil in the Jeep sometime today. The first half of the weekend has seemed to go quick. Time flies when you are having fun I guess.

What kinda SMURF would you be?

I noticed that for almost every kind of person there is a corresponding Smurf. What kind of smurf would you be? I imagine I would be pudgy smurf. Not a real smurf but in a politically correct kid's cartoon you can't have obese smurfs. Above is a graphic representation of Pudgy Smurf.

Spell check doesn't like the word Smurf.....It wants to replace it with sunroof. Not the same.

What to blog about?

It's FRIDAY! Yippee! Today went smooth and I actually was asked by my boss if I wanted to go home at 2pm. Well yeah! Since this is the only day this week I actually left before 3:50pm. I am supposed to get off at 3pm but rarely do leave before 3:30. Needles is planning on making vegetable soup this evening and has just returned from the small grocery store in town. She also picked up a couple of movies. The Brothers Grim and Millions. I will let you know how they were. I read Cynicals blog and got a visual that I couldn't shake so I will post a picture to commemorate it. Notice belly poochin out.

Needles Mom is doing very well. She had to get some lab work today to see if she could stop a series of injections she has been giving herself. Sadly her labwork told us she needed to continue and repeat lab Mon. So she has to go through 5 more shots until then. She has been getting a lot of rest which is good for her and has been steadily increasing her walking and breathing exercise. It's amazing to think that just a week ago she had open heart surgery.

They Are Home.

Today went pretty well, with waiting on the phone call from Needles to when they are coming home. I received a phone call at 1pm and they were still at the hospital while they checked on insurance coverage and some medication they needed to send home with them. TWO HOURS LATER they finally got to leave but not without forgetting to be given some rather essential items like..... Lets see Needles Mom's heart pillow. Yes the pillow used to compress the breast bone that was opened up just a few days ago. She said she even told the nurse that she left it in the room twice and was ignored. Also the spirometer that she is supposed to be doing her breathing exercises. I think while I was up there and Needles Mom was in the cardiac care room that things ran very smoothly and the way things should go after having major surgery. When she was transferred into a regular room. That's when the wheels came off the apple cart. From what Needles and Needles Mom's stories the care given while in regular room was shoddy and unprofessional. I don't what if they were understaffed or if the nurses on the regular floor were just a bunch of incompetent employees but I think if I would have been there while this was all going on and not hearing about it after the fact. I would have made a BIG stink! I work in a hospital and I know just who to talk to get asses in trouble and things done. I just wish I was there and maybe things would have been different. Oh Well. I think we are going to check and a medical supply store tomorrow to see about getting the necessary items. The hospital stay started off so well and ended up like a pig on stilts. At least we have her home and will get better care.

They Will Be Home Tomorrow....

With the snow that has and is falling the trip might be a little tricky. Needlefingers hate driving when there is snow on the roads. Hopefully the roads will be clear. It is late so I am going to bed. Good Night.

MONDAY aka HELL.

Today work was just that. Hell. We were covered up from the time walked in until 3pm. I didn't get to leave until 4pm. I did get to stop by a visit a friend on the way home. The sad part about it was that a relationship that he had been in for several months is now over. I wish he could find someone to share his life with but I can see why this last relationship ended. I think the gal was a little immature and some what unresponsible when it comes to a relationship. It's too bad because I thought this one might be the one. Maybe they will work things out but who knows.

I heard from Needles in Indy. Her Mom is doing well and has moved into a regular room. All she has hooked up to her now is a telemetry monitor to monitor her heart and a access port to draw blood and give medications. From what Needles said I think they will have her up and walking tomorrow. Still no timeline for discharge but can't wait for them to get home. I miss them alot.

Since I posted twice yesterday I will keep this short. I have a headache and I think I will turn in. Good Night.

Home Alone...

I received a call from Needlefingers that she made it back up to Indy. She got about 2-3 miles from the hospital and got caught up in all the post playoff game traffic. I think she said it took her about 30 - 45 minutes to go that last 2 - 3 miles. She finally got there and went to see her Mom. I will be updated tomorrow. While we were in Indy we stayed mostly inside as the Hotel and Hospital is joined by a skywalk. We ate at the Hospital cafeteria in the mornings and ordered out in the after noon.(Chinese and Papa John's Pizza) We did venture out to the Crawford Bakery for lunch one day but for the price it was nothing special. We did get 4 lemon bars togo and got a free angel food cake. Saturday night I had to call Hotel security as the people next door was fighting and slamming doors and making all sorts of noise. I swear if I didn't know any better I think that I am plagued with total strangers that are idiots and have NO social graces or sense. I think these people need to be quarantined. I think this is fates test to see if this is the day I go to jail for killing someone with my own hands. I guess I'm just not ready to go....YET! We Needles and I made comment of the other people in the waiting room. There were 4 of them in all their white trash, inbreed glory. The one young man was spouting off Adam Sandler quotes so that the whole room could here obscenities and all. The I think his lover/wife/sister made a inappropriate comment about how she has 3 kids but was still a virgin. Where in the #%@& do these people come from????? Yes there is a time and a place for expletives but NOT in a hospital waiting room. To help you get a visual He was late 20's about 4ft tall 180 pounds and talked like a 7 year old boy. She was mid 30's about 300 pounds and 5'9" and her voice sounded like she had smoked a carton a day since she was 10. The only reason I think they were together is the comment she made about she would have more kids if he had anything to say about it. Luckily the only good information that came out of her mouth was that she had been surgically sterilized. Sound like it was 3 kids to late. Yes I am being mean but they made me and the other people in the waiting room mad. We were all there concerned about a loved one in a time of high stress and we have something like that to deal with. One family of about 10 people walked out and I guessed complained because the patient advocate came in and asked me if I was bothered by the people in the waiting room. I was hoping that they would kick them out but they just spoke with them and they were somewhat quiet the rest of the time. I did hear some obscenities but they were not as loudly spoken. Needless to say we are all glad that the ordeal is over with and that Needle's Mom is on the mend. Sorry about the post but I had to vent.

Indianapolis, Playoff Football, Friday the 13th, Full Moon and Open Heart Surgery.

What more could happen. I shouldn't ask or I might find out. Well we just returned from Indy and Needles Mom is still up there. I had to come back today to go to work tomorrow. YUCK! Needles is on her way back to Indy. Everything went well with the surgery. We checked in at 5:30am Indy time and they took her into surgery at 7:00am. We were in the large community waiting room. We got to visit her in pre-op for a little bit and then we were taken to the surgery waiting room. Interesting people there... Think Deliverance. At around 9:30am we were told that the surgery went great and they were warming her back up after taking her off the bypass machine. We were notified Friday @11:00am that they were done. We then got to move into the recovery waiting room. We went back to see her for abit but she was still unconscious and on the respirator. Later that day during visiting hours we went to check in on her. She was still on the respirator but she was conscience and was able to respond to us by squeezing hands. We decided to leave as she was still very groggy and we wanted her to rest instead of staying awake to see us. Later that day about 3pm they had removed the respirator and she was doing well. She was able to whisper and chat with us briefly. Sat. morning she was awake and alert having very little memory of the previous days goings on and discussions. She was able to get up in a chair with assistance and her breathing exercises was great. They wanted her to be able to hit the 500 mark on the spirometer and she was hitting the 1500 mark. We were able to visit with her at length yesterday and even stayed pass the regular visiting hours as the nurse said it was fine. This morning we went in at 10 am and they had removed the chest tube and is expected to be moved to a regular room tomorrow. I would like to thank all of you that kept her in your thoughts and to let everyone know that things are going great. Now we just got to get her home.

2006 Sucks So Far...

This year has started of with a big (insert vacuum sound). After the tragedy and worrisome news about a dear friends family and now it is hitting a little closer to home. Yesterday while at work my sis-in-law's father dropped by to get a EKG after having his cholesterol checked and they discovered his cardiac enzymes were elevated. After his EKG was normal all was well and he left the hospital. When I got home last night after I visited a friends house I received a phone call. The man I just seen at my work about 5 hours ago was now at the hospital having emergency heart surgery. I was shocked to say the least to find out that apparently he had a heart attack within the past few days and he didn't know it. While my brother was on the phone relaying the news he also added the question. Did you know Dad has shingles. Nooooo was my response so a quick call to my Mom and Dad to see what was going on down there and to tell them I loved them, a quick shower and then a fast trip over to the hospital to set with my sis-in-laws family. We were there until midnight and returned home when the family was allowed to go into recovery. Needless to say this morning I was dragging physically and emotionally. I think I am getting abit stressed about Needles mom upcoming surgery. I will be glad when all of this is over and things can return back to normal. I hope it happens before 2007. This will be my last post until possibly Sunday.

AHHHHH!......To nap.

This morning while we were getting ready for work before it was daylight, Needles and I discussed that this evening we were going to take a nap. Yes, we have said it before and it didn't happen. Usually we would get home and find things to do or shows to watch on T.V. that would take the scheduled nap off our lists of things to do. Today however was different. I think as soon as Needles walked through the door we were both on the same page. Are we gonna nap? I asked. Needles said Yep. So after supper we turned off everything in the house except the heater for the kitty to continue baking his brains and strolled into the bedroom for a much anticipated nap. After a couple hours we got up and felt somewhat refreshed. Nothing like a nice nap to recharge your batteries.

Crate Them All And Let The Vet Sort Them Out.

Today we visited Needles Mom and had lunch there. As with most Sundays we visit, eat and discuss the past, present and future. Lots to discuss as Needles Mom lets call her "L" is getting prepared mentally and emotionally for heart surgery this Fri. I have to admit that I find myself abit anxious too. One of the stories "L" told was remembering the time she crated one of her (2) black cats to go for a check up at the vet only to find out that once she got there she took the wrong one. It is hard to tell between the nearly identical black cats. One is male and the other female but at a glance it is impossible. The only true way for me to tell which is which is to go up to the kitty and rub them. The look on there face will speak volumes. Spooky just barely opens his eyes and relinquishes to the rubbins set upon him. Charcoal however looks at you with a wide eyes and a suspicious look as though I have just tried to kidnap her or something. The hierarchy and levels of rank is very strong with the felines in the house. Gabby is head honcho by far but she is very gripy. Don't even try to give her rubbins while another kitty is in the room. She will protest loudly every rub she gets until you stop or she bats at you and runs off. I said runs maybe more like waddles. She's a big girl. With all that goes on between the chain of command, it's quite comical and different from our own small pride. There is not question to who runs the roost at MY house. Tugger hands down.......... I know my place.
The picture above is where Tugger aka Fuzzy Face like to pass the day popping brain cells by the warmth of the heater.

Saturday run around and chores.

Today Needles and I went to the big city to grocery shop. After we loaded up the back of the Jeep it was a quick trip to Wally World. We had to get the grocery shopping out of the way before eating breakfast/lunch at the Super China Buffet. It had been awhile since I had eaten Chinese so it was a welcome treat. My fortune cookie assured me that all of my plans would be successful. Now I just gotta make some plans. When we got home it was time to complete some chores around the house. I had to change the oil in Needlefingers truck and change the windshield wipers on both her truck and my Jeep. I also had to change the tire on our pop up camper that has gone flat. The leak was at the valve stem so it will be a trip to the local garage to get that fixed. Even though it is the weekend I feel like I accomplished something. Tomorrow will be a day for relaxing and preparing for Monday and work.

I'm gonna fell it in the morning...

Yesterday I put a new shelf together in the basement for files to be moved down there. Today I moved about 2000 files down stairs. Needless to say this took several trips up and down 2 flights of stairs. I was stupid enough to wear a sweat shirt and it caused me to do just what it is called. I sweated all up in that thing. I guess the back of my shirt was wet and this prompted several questions of "Are ya hot?" I guess my red face and sweaty brow wasn't enough of a clue. After I got cooled down it was time to relocate the files we have upstairs to make room. I got through about 1000 or so of them. All I can say is the burn I felt in my thighs is the first in a series of aches and pains to start tomorrow. Not much on the agenda for the weekend so some sore thighs isn't going to impact my weekend plans. Have a good weekend.

Shew Tired.

Didn't sleep very well last night so I have resolved to take the time I usually post on my blog to take a nap so I will make this short.
One of my co workers found out that if you put microwave popcorn in the microwave for several minutes and leave an not check on it that it discolors the inside of the microwave and the shelf it sets on. Also the department smelled like burned popcorn all day and that was with fans running to air it out and many deoderizers being used to kill the smell. Needless to say the microwave had to go bye bye. There was no saving it.

Much needed repair with a twist.

I have a 97 Jeep Wrangler. Its not your regular passenger vehicle but it is the only vehicle we have that has anything that resembles a back seat. Needles 98 Dakota extended cab doesn't count because if you set in the back you have to seat sideways. Anyway several months ago I was putting the back seat in the Jeep and dropped a clip down between the bracket and fender. I tried to remove the bracket only to snap off the bolts. Insert multiple 4 letter words here. After calming down the rear seat was unusable so I decided that one day I would just get rid of it and that would be it. Of course several times since then we have needed a vehicle that could haul more than 2 people. I finally found a friend, lets call him "J " to get the bolts out as they were dangerously near hard brake lines and figured I would screw it up and end up having to have the Jeep towed to a shop to get the brake lines fixed. So now the bolts are out and I am on the search to find ones to fit and fix the bracket so I can once again have a back seat for passengers. When I arrived home I noticed another one of my friends, lets call him "G" in the driveway. "G" is a friend to "J" also. "J" called "G" to tell him that he had left his cell phone on the front bumper of my Jeep. When I pulled in the cell phone was still perched on the front bumper.....Luckily. I drove several miles on not to smooth of roads and was amazed it survived the trip. Anyway the bolts are out the phone is returned and all is well.....For now.

Gray, Grayer, Grayest...

Today was very gray..Unlike yesterday that was stormy with grayness then some blue skys. I am getting sick of the grayness that seems to accompany this time of year. I am getting anxious for spring. I take a quote from I think Lewis Black..I almost want to slit my wrists to see a color other than gray. Needless to say I am not at that point but I can kinda see where he was coming from. I am pleased that it isn't cold like it usually is this time of year but I could go for a little sunshine.

The picture above is what it looks like outside.

Day Off 2006

It is Monday and I have the day off unlike Needlefingers. She had all last week off but had to return to work today.....Figures. A nice thunderstorm just passed through our area. I am not sure but I think we got a lot of rain with it. Unfortunately 2006 looks like its going to leave off where 2005 was with the flood and mud slides in California. Not much is going on in my neck of the woods but I am still loving our broadband internet connection. I think I am addicted to the internet all over again. Have a good one.
