I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  Still getting the side effects of Bill which has stalled off the coast so more rain on the forecast for today.  Lots and lots of downed trees around - the ground is just so wet it isn&#39;t holding the roots secure.    <br /><br />Sheri - I like your thinking about stores giving an incentive to use self checkout.    All of our stores (grocery, wal-mart, k-mart type stores) have more self check out than ones with checkers on them.    They more or less force you into using them.   Even our Home Depot just put some in.    <br /><br />Deb - glad you had a fun date night even if the game was awful.<br /><br />Ed - hope that knee is doing better today.   The thought of all that time in a cast is awful.<br /><br />Falina - still keeping fingers crossed for good news from the back.    <br /><br />Shaunna - how did you fit in with the new group?<br /><br />Jim - so sorry to hear that your Mom isn&#39;t able to eat more.<br /><br />James - drinks in St. Maarten sound fine to me.     Where is the Happy Hour.   We asked over on the roll call but realize you don&#39;t get over there very often.<br /><br />Donna - how did it go with the heart Dr.?  Hoping for a good report.<br /><br />Robert - how is DD feeling?   Hope for an uneventful pregnancy and a healthy baby for the entire family.   Are they going to find out if the baby is a boy or girl before or wait and be suprised?<br /><br />Today is school shoes shopping for the kids so I need to get a few things done before we head out.    I&#39;ll have to be sure to get Ash some dressy shoes to go with that dress that I WON&#39;T be returning.    The more I thought about Ash&#39;s answer the more sense it made to me.   hehe<br /><br />Have a great day Crazies.   I&#39;ll check in later.
