at least he is only bringing you the leash and not the leash AND keys! And yes you did the right thing by telling him no. Oversleeping on a weekend sounds like a luxury you needed. For someone like me with insomnia currently oversleeping sounds preferable!

as for the kids when they were younger coming at you carrying the keys for you to play taxi......that's what door locks are for Topher!

Didn't someone in another thread say we're all new at one time or another. Be patient and take your time. I registered in fall 03 and lurked until spring 04 before I ever posted. This place takes a while to get used to and to play around with the different codes and smilies. Trust me when I say I was overwhelmed at first. Jumping flashing things are distracting to me and sometimes I do disable that within my browser settings.

I'm glad to see ya post. For me I could stand to use some of the manage threads features available to better know where I've posted. I post in some forums that I am not usually reading frequently and then come upon a thread of mine from way back and feel like a doofus. I think there are almost 30 forums here. I'm lucky if I can remember my password [mynextdogwillbeapwd guess I shouldn't write that ] let alone read more than a few forums with regularity.

I'm doin' my best each day.....sounds like you are too!

always a pleasure sir.
