Also, we need to contact a plumber, because the pipes for the kitchen sink and the dishwasher were done by an enthusiastic amateur, and have been having problems.
NO! MORE! FULL! COPPER! REPIPE!
Ants suck. But we have those things you hate that I can't name, Jilli.
I am getting ready to go BBQ. And pomtini. YAY.

Oh, we have those, too. The other week, I had my cutting board and fabric spread out on the living room floor, I'm kneeling there with scissors in hand, and from behind me I hear Pete say "Er, Jilli. Don't move."
I of course levitate straight up. Why yes, a wolf spider was about 4" from my feet. Pete dealt with it. I twitched a lot.
I went for a walk yesterday and the whole neighborhood smelled like BBQ. yummy.
May there be rest and relaxation from pests and other household issues for the House of Reason.
Laga, I think that was a sound strategy, sending that website to the person making the iff-y comments. She's lucky that there is someone noticing.
Anyone want a McCall's Needlework and Crafts from 1971? And a couple other knitting pattern books from the same era? They're good for a laugh, if nothing else. (My god. What were we thinking?)
Zenkitty- I would love them. My grandmother threw all of ours from that time out when she was mad at my mom!
Sophia, they're yours! Shoot me your postal addy - my profile email is good.
If someone says "you guys are better off without me" should I be worried she's suicidal? I checked a suicide prevention website and didn't recognize any of the other signs.
Laga, don't be embarrassed to ask if your friend has a plan.
Contrary to popular belief, thoughts about suicide, and even talking about it, is normal. Making a 'plan' for killing oneself is the line crossing beyond which is a problem.
If you feel your friend is in danger of developing a plan, give her this link (http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/).
If worse comes to worst and you believe she is in imminent danger of harming herself, consult your local mental health services. The numbers are in the front of your phone book, or of course, on the web.
As long as I'm giving stuff away, does anyone want a reading-chimp bookend like the one in Wonderfalls? I have two, and really, one is all you need.
