I will tell her that he presence is requested. She needed to focus on the house and property. We have a lot going on right now. Selection of the bathroom fixtures alone was probably a week or two's worth of fretting and googling.

But having a life IS TOO an excuse. 
Life is exploding all around me here on the farm in the form of weeds, trees, and debris. Work BS and medical BS have also been in the forefront lately. My new bathroom is sitting in the carport in boxes waiting for a tub drain and sink - which I have to go pick up this evening along with paint and some supplies. (I HAVE to get this done! ) I still pop in and read occasionally. I've posted a few times. I'm not totally gone. (Well, OK, mentally I guess I'm pretty gone... 
...just not physically. ) Just busy.We miss you DAMMIT!Tsu said:Well, you don't have to YELL at me!
I know I've been very absent lately. I'm sorry.
We'll need a couple of real hunky guys to help lift the big stuff. Any takers?Tsu said:Yer ON!
It's a good thing you posted this, because I have been suspicious of Ivan keeping you in slavery or who knows what horrible things. And I was about to ask if your first post above was really you, or Ivan just pretending to be you. But I don't think he would be clever enough to use this guise!Tsu said:Yer ON!

Me too!
