hahaha!!! I love your confession, and I would totally do the same thing!

How was dinner?

MY dinner was lovely.  I'm sooo glad we didn't cave and go with the IL's.  I did have to jump my brother, though.  I just "sold" him my old car for $500.  (A steal!  He is supposed to give me $100 a month, also.)  It needed $300 worth of repairs before it was road-worthy again.  We didn't have that to get it out of the repair shop for my brother, so my step-dad paid the bill.  My brother is supposed to pay him back, too.  Brother announces tonight that he's going to give us $200 soon.  I ask him what for.  He says, "For the car.  It was $500, so $200 to you, $300 to SD."  I don't think so, buddy!  That $300 is on TOP of the $500.  I'm not giving you my damn car for $200!  I don't think he and his woman are very happy about that, but that's too bad.

Dang... "what we have here is a failure to communicate!"

why does he think he should get it so cheap?

I have no idea why he thinks he should only have to pay us $200.  He lives in an alternate universe, though.  I'm not *that* surprised, but at the same time--he's got to be kidding.  DH said, "For $200, I'll drive the damn thing!" (His truck gets horrible gas mileage).

LOL!

Has your DH's dept decided on the hours change thing?

firefightersgal

Not yet.  I talked to a few of the wives about it.  None of them like the idea.

When do they decide? Good luck...

How's Ms. Nora? All healed from her multiple issues at once?

We're not sure when they are going to decide.  A lot of people don't even know about it yet.  I'm spreading the word.   LOL.

Nora is 'okay'.  We had a couple of weeks of good health.  She has another cold, now.  Blech.

Jake's got some cold crap too... gunky nose, congestion. Ugh! I'm ready to be able to give him a decongestant!
