Hi again, James!  This is a continuation of my previous message to you:

JB>  Maybe a stick of gaffer's tape, or a zip tie or two is
JB>  what's missing so your cushions stay in place?


          Hmm.  The former would help close the gap... and quite possibly
scare certain individuals away... while the latter would keep the towel on
the arm of the chair from slipping.  I like the way you think... [chuckle].



JB>  I'm at a point where a landslide is another opportunity
JB>  sort and toss more stuff.


          I can relate.  When the amount of decision-making one has to do
seems overwhelming, a landslide can help solve the problem of where to
begin....  :-)



JB>  (I really *should* be working to move that fridge, now
JB>  that you mention it. P-)


          It's taken me awhile to catch myself making such remarks &
understand what's going on... i.e. I'm still trying to please an Authority
Figure from the past while my intuition guides me along a somewhat
different route.  Unless you get a lot more enjoyment out of moving heavy
appliances than I would, you don't really want to move the fridge; you want
to have done it.  (I can't take credit for the last bit... I ran across it
several years ago & the rest fell naturally into place.)  Nowadays I
catch myself saying things like "I'd prefer to get xxx done in
daylight, and before it rains again."  As an adult I have the
privilege & the responsibility of deciding for myself how I will
organize my time.  I can feel virtuous about putting business before
pleasure.  But I can also recognize what we're doing here as useful work
although Aunt Hortense (God rest her soul) wouldn't have approved because
we seem to be having entirely too much fun.  ;-)



AH>  We still have a POTS line....  :-)

JB>  To confound things, the evil internet arrived here
JB>  also, so ebay has been swallowing up all sorts of
JB>  my time and available credit.


          Glad to know I can now refer you to various Internet sites as
sources of information!  If you feel you have some difficulty with getting
carried away at live auctions in Calgary, though, the Internet may be a
mixed blessing.  :-)
