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.  :-)
