TRASH AND THE DEALING WITH TRASH HAS A VERY HIGH PRIORITY IN MY LIFE.. I HAVE DD'D ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE GUY DRIVING THE TRASH TRUCK IS HELD IN HIGH REGARD BY ME... ON A HOT DAY I WILL OFFER HIM COLD DRINKS... ALONG WITH A SMILE AND A WAVE. HE IS RELIABLE-- ON MONDAYS, HE AIMS HIS TRUCK AT OUR DUMPSTER WITH GREAT ACCURACY... AND WITHIN SECONDS 6 CUBIC YARDS OF PROBLEMS ARE GONE OUT THE DRIVEWAY.
OH THAT SUCH A PERSON EXISTED THAT I COULD DUMP ALL MY UNNECESSARY MENTAL CRAPOLA ON AND HAVE THEM DRIVE IT DOWN THE DRIVE IN THE SAME MANNER AND EFFICIENCY.
WHAT INSURMOUNTABLE PROBLEMS YOU ASK???? MY PROBLEMS VARY IN NATURE,
THE BIGGEST AT THE MOMENT IS HOW TO GET SPERM INTO MORIAH IF SHE IS INDEED IN HEAT.-- AND IF SHE IS IN HEAT.. WHAT ON EARTH WAS COMING OUT OF HER 2 WEEKS AGO??? IF YOU THINK BACK TO THE RUBBERMAID SANDWICH DISH EPISODE... IT IS NOT FOR LACK OF TRYING... BUT WE (AND WALTER) SO FAR HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL AT DEVISING A SPERM DELIVERY SYSTEM.-- AND IF SHE IS IN HEAT WE ARE APPROACHING THE DREADED DEADLINE OF " TRY AGAIN IN 6 MONTHS" .
**********
PUTTING UP THE BUILDING PALES BY COMPARISON... ALTHO THE PIECES OF BUILDING ARE FAR HEAVIER THAN I HADE ANTICIPATED, INDIVIDUALLY TEHY ARE MANAGEABLE UNTIL YOU BOLT SEVERAL TOGETHER..
WHEN CLEARSPAN PUT UP THE ARENA, THE ONLY PIECE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND... AND STILL DON'T----IS THE WRATCHETS THAT PULL THE SKIN TIGHT. THERE WAS A BOX OF THEM LEFT OVER, AND I AM ASHAMED TO SAY I NEVER TRIED TO UNDERSTAND ESXACTLY HOWW THEY WORK.. AN INTELLECTUAL DEFICCINECY ON MY PART... I FIGURED IT WAS LIKE STUDYING LATIN-- WHO NEEDS TO KNOW THAT?
WELL .. NOW I NEED TO KNOW -- AT LEAST THE WRATCHET PART...
?LATIN??-- THE JURY'S STILL OUT ON THAT ONE.
IN MY LAP AT THE MOMENT IS THE ENVELOPE OF INSTRUCTIONS---- WHICH.. AMUSINGLY ENOUGH AS A SECOND ENVELOPE IN WHICH TO SEND THE WARTENTTEE INFORMATION... AND BEFORE THEY WILL WARENTEE, YOU HAVE TO INCLOSE 14 PHOTOS OF THE DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION.
******
I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE CREW FROM GE THAT WORKED HARD YESTERDAY... THEY GOT AMAZING THINGS DONE... THE "PAD" IS REAEDY FOR THE BUILDING NOW, THE BRIDGE TO THE ISLAND IS APPARENTLY SQUARED UP--- THE POSTS ARE READY FOR A FENCE AROUND THE POND TO DE-MUD THAT EXERCISE AREA... AND ALL THOSE CONCRETE PIECES OF SWIMMING POOL WALKWAY THAT SOMEONE DONATED( AKA "CARLENE'S MENTAL BLOCKS") -- AND ALL VERY CAREFULLY PLANTED IN SOME USEFUL MANNER.... SOME MORE BY THE DOG WASHING AREA AND THE REST IN FRONT OF "BUD'S WORLD" WHICH WILL BE IN THE XXXXXXX WHEN WE GET IT UP... ( IT WILL NAME ITSELF EVENTUALLY)
*********
ONE MORE COMPLIMENT TO GIVE... I BOUGHT 2 "MISTERS" FROM HAMMACHER SCHLEMER -- I.E. FANS WITHS PRAY ATACHED THAT REALLY DO COOL OFF A PATIO TYPE AREA.... ONE STOPPED ROTATING-- SO BUD-- BEING THE ELETRITIAN.. TOOK IT APART AND GAVE ME THE FAULTY MOTOR TO REPLACE-- I CALLED AURAMIST PARTD DEPARTMERNT --AND COULD NOT GET A HUMAN ON HTE PHONE.... SO I CALLED HAMMACHER... AND GOT A HUMAN-- WHO LOOKED UP MY PURCHASE- SHE SAID SHE WAS SORRY IT DID NOT WORK CORRECTLY AND SHE WOULDS SIMPLY SEND ME ANOTHER IN A BOX WITH A LABEL TO RETURN THE NONFUNCTIONING ONE.... SOMEHOW THE SIMPLICITY OF IT ALL OVERWHELMED ME.
****
THE CUT AND PASTE... GETTING BETTER ALL THE TMIEM

WRITING TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON BOO AND TIZZY. BOO HAS COMPLETELY TAKEN OVER THE HOUSE AND OUR HEARTS. SHE IS TRULY A FORCE OF NATURE DESPITE HER DISABILITIES AND A WELCOME COMPANION FOR TIZZY. THE GIRLS, TED AND I HOSTED A SOUTHERN SUNDAY STEW IN APRIL AND INVITED ALL THE INTERESTED CP'S IN THE NORTH GEORGIA AREA. WE HAD A GRAND TIME AND EVERYONE GOT TO MEET THEM AS WELL AS EACH OTHER. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT TIZZY WOULD BE THE BIG SISTER AND HELP BOO BUT IT TURNS OUT BOO RUNS THE SHOW AND TIZZY WILLINGLY FOLLOWS HER LEAD. BOO USES HER NOSE TO 'SEE' WHERE SHE IS GOING BY SCENT AND TOUCH AND IS VERY COMFORTABLE IN HER HOME ENVIRONMENT. WHEN WE TAKE HER OUT OF THE YARD SHE IS CONSTANTLY SMELLING AND TOUCHING ME FOR REASSURANCE BUT LOVES NOTHING MORE THAN A NICE WALK AND A CAR RIDE. SHE IS QUITE BRAVE AND AN INSPIRATION AND I AM GRATEFUL SHE AND TIZZY WILL GROW UP TOGETHER.
PAM AND TED SAROSY

Good morning Carlene, I just thought I'd share a couple photos with you of Dash playing at the Lake .
Her and i have bonded beyond my wildest dreams . She has helped me through my knee replacement as well as getting me out socially. We also have been getting out and doing lots of voluteer work with the local Special Olympics and helping out with a group of autistic children. She is amazing.
Will be down next month to spend a few days with you guys.
Thank you again for all you do. I feel so liberated since having Dash in my life.
See you soon, Dash and Scott .

Just a quick note to let you know that Jonah did great last night. He has been busy exploring every inch of the house and the yard. He was especially curious about the sandbox and wanted to stomp on the ants on top of it and eat them :) Each time he goes out he gets a little braver and goes out a little further on his own.
He's doing great with the kids and the kids love him already. He slept great in his bed last night in our room and has been eating well.
THANK you for this opportunity and all that you do. I look forward to meeting Megan on Wednesday.
Best,
Christine
