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.  :-)
