Afternoon all. Been having one of those days......phones keep ringing, internet goes down, etc. etc. I did manage to get my Chicken soup in the crock pot this afternoon. Will be great tomorrow when the weather gets chilly. Not much else happening. Hope you all are enjoying the same peaceful weekend.<br /><br />Jackie, I tried to talk Howie into the cruise but no luck........darm we could have all toasted the end of another tax season. Well at least now you have something to look forward to.  Congrats&#33;<br /><br />Ed glad to hear Roe doesn&#39;t have strep. I&#39;m sure she&#39;ll be much better in a few days.<br /><br />Steve sorry to hear about your Vista computer. I got a new desktop right after the switch but Dell was able to put XP in it and from what I&#39;m hearing I did the right thing. I understand how awful customer service can be........it took them 2 hours and at least 4 techs to figure out that my hard drive went bad and thay they would have to replace it since the computer wasn&#39;t even a yr. old yet.........I knew that 2 hours ago....LOL&#33; Good luck and hope you find someone to help you. Hang in there with the procedures. As long as the news is good, it&#39;s worth it.&#33;<br /><br />Marylou I&#39;m so sorry your visit with Cait and Heather was cancelled, I know how much you were looking forward to it. <br /><br />Sue glad to hear Pappy decided to sleep in this morning.<br /><br />Cheryl don&#39;t you love the Zicam????

How nice that your cooking Gary a nice meal. Don&#39;t let him get too used to it.<br /><br />Jenn how was your shopping trip to the states???? <br /><br />Well off to Walgreens to pick up the pictures I ordered online.
