You need anything or help, let me know.

Seriously.
Will do, and I appreciate the offer.

Things are not that bad, however. One of the kids is going through a
rough spot right now, but we'll get over it. My boat is an
extravagance I can live without (for now anyway), so it can be used to
alleviate the situation somewhat.
10-4 - the offer stands until you don't need it.
Thanks.

BTW, now that you're back. are you going to loan me that TSO dvd?
Please?
You know what - I had forgotten all about that - my bad.

Yes I will and I still have your address.

And I'm not back permanently - strictly a time killer while I have
some data running, a consult going, traveling down South and back and
in between a ton of other chores I have to do around the homestead -
like keeping Mrs. Teafran from spending what the house is worth on
"renovations". Damn, I could have built a new house for that this is
costing me. :)
I learned not to complain about remodels. She does not complain about
boat costs.

You guys... I have a simple system.
If the wife wants to remodel...such as all new vinyl windows, new kitchen,
new upstaits bathroom...I have her pay for the materials and I supply the
labour.
If she gets fussy & wants outside labour....... I may go half on the
materials and let her pay the hired help.
This system keeps things under control and her working.



Is your family really that dysfunctional?

She pays/you pay? WTF is that? She doesn't trust you with her money?

I guess I'm not surprised. What is "upstaits", dummy?
