Jealous! I'm about to go drive around to cook up some global warming... I'm cold!:sn

Freezing. Damn ground is frozen. No yard work today. Bloody snow called for tomorrow. *grumble grumble* Plans for building the raised beds today are delayed until it's not freezing. Going to get some more grapes and other fruits that will make yummy wine eventually.

The brown bugs is already here in the mid Atlantic. Best way to get rid of the is to flush them in the toilet. Make sure all screens are free of holes and your house is sealed up. Even then they may find a way in. According to the extension center, they are researching a wasp that is native to...

Bwahahahah!:db

Haha! I'm just glad I caught that when I did. It could have been much worse. As for the marriage thing. I learned to keep seperate accounts the last time. What's hers is hers and what's mine stays mine.
