Hello Couch...
Sally!!!!! So so so so happy for you!!!! Yay!!!!!
MKAC-I'm so sorry about the ducks.

I read an article once about people like the friend you described. In the article they called them "Takers". If I ever find it, I'll send it to you.
Lola-Be safe on your drive.
Healed: I have all the faith in the world that you will do everything possible to take care of your house and kids.
Wiki- I hope the pastor got thru to your mom. I got angry when I read that your family was trying to talk her out of it. Let me at em!
Hello everyone else. Hugs all around.
