[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 288244, member: 1991"] G'day, people. I'm going to respond to both threads here, hopefully it will make sense once it's all merged (if some kind moderator will do the deed). Andy, I hope the bowling buddy can hold it together for you. Good luck finding those keys! At least it is a big bunch... Linda, I'm glad you're getting back to piano lessons. It will help your cognitive function, too. I hope wm has finally got the info sorted out that he overheard foster mom gossiping about. Honestly, some people... Jena, I hope difficult child doesn't give you a hard time about work today. Good to see you on the morning thread. Fran, I hope your celebration goes well tonight. Summer is a great time to have this sort of thing. People tend to be more relaxed and there is also more fun foods available. Wheras in winter, we tend to go for comfort food and huddling round the fire... Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm just about Michael Jackson'ed out. Aussie TV has been at saturation level all day, a lot of regular programming has been cancelled without notice for yet another replay of the highlights of the memorial concert. Not that I dislike the man or his music - I enjoy the stuff. And the concert was great, very respectful. But after seeing stuff for the sixth time it does wear a bit thin...
