It has been a long time since I tracked down some humour to share, but it is never too late to relax and have a laugh. I just love this one attributed to Dave Barry. “Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.” On a website that appears to be an abandoned page of Tourism, NB, I found this little gem which is timely for October. “Redneck 911” - A couple of redneck hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other redneck starts to panic, then whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He frantically blurts out to the operator, "O my gawd! Help! My friend just died. He's Dead! What can I do?" The operator, trying to calm him says, "Take it easy. I can help. Just listen to me and follow my instructions. First, let’s make sure he's dead." There's a short pause, and then the operator hears a loud gunshot!!! The

redneck comes back on the line and says, "OK, now what?" Just in time for the election. “A bus filled with Ottawa politicians was driving through the Lanark County countryside one day, on the campaign trail in 2011. The bus driver, caught up in the beautiful scenery, loses control and crashes into the ditch. A farmer living nearby hears the horrible crash and rushes out to discover the wreckage. Finding the Ottawa politicians, he buries them. That day, the Mounties come to the farm to question the man. "So you buried all those politicians?" asked an Officer. "Were they all dead?" The Lanark farmer answered, "Some said they weren't, but you know how politicians lie." Smart old farmer....” 0001

Thank You

THE TREE Ah, to again be the sapling Swaying in the warm breeze With birds and squirrels Nesting among my green leaves; While under my inviting boughs Lovers come to carve their names; And the gentle forest creatures Take shelter from the rain. Alas, now I stand alone against A dark forbidding landscape, My heart hollow; my roots Being consumed by broom rape, My branches are bare and twisted; And there is no more song And though their names remain The lovers have long been gone.

cLean Otty M October 16th , 2011 Today recalls the memory Of a loved one gone to rest, And those who think of him today Are those who loved him best. The ﬂowers we lay upon his grave May wither and decay, But the love for him who lies beneath Will never fade away.

1. Make your kitchen really cook. The kitchen is still considered the heart of the home. So, it makes sense that potential home buyers gravitate to this room when they first view a home for sale. It’s important to make sure your kitchen looks clean and reasonably updated. You can replace an outdated kitchen faucet, add new cabinet door handles and update old lighting fixtures with brighter, more energy-efficient ones. If you have a slightly larger budget to work with, it’s a good idea to give the cabinets themselves a make over. If you can’t replace the cabinets, which can be expensive, it’s possible to reface the cabinets you already have. Something as simple as replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts and repainting everything can make your cabinets look like new again.

2. Give appliances a facelift. If your kitchen appliances don’t match, order new doors or face panels for them. Before you order a new dishwasher panel, take apart the one you already have, as many dishwasher panels are white on one side and black on the other. Having a more cohesive looking kitchen makes a big difference in the buyer’s mind and does affect the home’s resale price. 3. Buff up the bath. Next to the kitchen, bathrooms are often the most important rooms to update. They, too, can be improved without a lot of cash. Simple things like a new toilet seat, pedestal sink and flooring are pretty easy for homeowners to install, and they make a big difference in the look of the bath. If your tub and shower are looking

dingy, consider re-grouting the tile and replacing any chipped tiles. A more complete cover-up is a prefabricated tub and shower surround. These onepiece units may require professional installation but can still be cheaper than paying to re-tile walls and refinish a worn tub. 4. Step up your storage. While newer model homes have plenty of closet space, older homes are notorious for their lack of it. If you have cramped storage areas, it’s a good idea to purchase and install the do-it-yourself wire and laminate closet systems in bedrooms, pantries and entry closets. In the end, your closets will be more functional for you and make your home look more customized to potential buyers, should you choose to sell. 5. Let there be light. If you have boring recessed lighting in your dining and living rooms, consider replacing one of the room’s lights with an eye-catching

6. Look underfoot. Carpeting is another detail that can quickly update a home and make it look cleaner. A professional carpet cleaning is an inexpensive investment, especially if your rugs are in good shape and are neutral colours. If your carpet is showing serious wear, you can cover it inexpensive, strategically placed area rugs.

If you have boring recessed lighting in your dining and living rooms, consider replacing one of the room’s lights with an eye-catching chandelier.

chandelier. Home stores offer a wide range of inexpensive, but nice-looking, ceiling fixtures these days. If you have a ceiling fan and light, you can also buy replacement fan blades (leaving the fan body in place) to update the fixture’s look.

7. Add a room in a week or less. If you have a three-bedroom house with a den, the only reason the den can’t be considered a bedroom may be because it doesn’t have a closet. If you add a closet to that room, you’ve now got a four-bedroom house. That adds a lot of value. It’s possible to add a custom closet system and drywall for somewhere in the range of $1,500. 8.

(again, be sure to use one approved for use over metal). For a cherry wood look, Persley uses a burgundy base paint. After it dries, she brushes over the base coat with a cherry wood stain. “It really looks amazing, and it only takes a few hours,” she says.

9. Reframe your entry. Do you have a cheap looking or flimsy little knob on your main entry door? If so, invest in a substantial-looking handle-and-lock set. A nice, big piece of hardware on the front door signals to newcomers that it’s a solid home.

10. Consider curb appeal. Although it sounds obvious, a nicely mowed lawn, a few well-placed shrubs and a swept walkway makes a great first impression. What buyers see when they first drive by your home is tremendously important. This is their first impression of your home, nice curb appeal is important.

Also, if you’re stuck with a basic steel front door, it can be painted for more eye appeal. You can easily spruce up an existing metal doors with stain and paint. It’s important to start with a good metal primer, before adding a base coat of paint. After using a good metal primer, Persley gives the door a base coat of paint

If you don’t have a green thumb, consider hiring a landscaper to install some new sod, plant a few evergreen shrubs and give your front yard a good cleanup. These kinds of changes can instantly change people’s perception of your home and, therefore, increase its value. Your neighbours will love it too.

LiSTEN iN REMEMBERING THE MIXTAPE If you’re old enough to remember the mixTape you know how important and personal they were to receive. It was the ultimate handmade, thoughtfully personalized crafted gift; the meticulous hard work to pick the songs, compile the songs, the homemade art work. It was a true labour of love. “Think about it… a compilation tape given to Paul Simon inspired Graceland” Gordie Tufts, the owner of Backstreet Records on Germain Street in the city told me in regard to the power of a good mix tape; referring to Paul Simon’s seminal album. The commercial cassette format of prerecorded music was at one time also the most important and highly sought after medium on which we purchased our favorite new music. At one time even eclipsing Vinyl! “In the 80's half of the shop was cassettes and they out sold vinyl.” Gordie reiterates to me the stats, and his firsthand account of it in Backstreet. Well we know “Record Store day” has become a big deal the world over with Vinyl being more popular than ever. It’s also the only recorded medium that music sales are on the rise. All other formats including digital continue to fall. We wrote about it here! It was only going to be a matter of time until there would be a “Cassette Day”. For the last few years I have noticed more and more artists releasing their new music on cassette. “Great for indie's (Artist/ Bands) because they are cheap and it is a way to include a download as well.”

Gordie fills me in why they make sense as new releases. Like vinyl as well as 8-tracks for some people (Yes I know a few) it’s also about it being a collectable format that makes it important. It is part of a culture and a DIY method of making it by yourself. And also with Vinyl all the old is new again. I still buy vinyl (and CD’s) as well as cassettes anywhere I can find them, whether it be thrift stores like Value Village, yard sales, flea markets. Thrifting is huge fun for a collector! I just bought a bunch of pre-loved cassettes for 0.49 each! “Cassette Day” is October 17 and it’s not just the indie artist doing it. Big guns like Motorhead are releasing their new album “Bad Magic” on cassette as is Greed Day who are re-releasing their Punk-Pop classic “Dookie!” Check out all that is “Cassette Day” by going to: cassettestoreday.us. Gordie sent me a current list (see Listen In on OPL website) of what he has in his store on Cassette. Check it out! They also have a great collection of pre-loved cassettes at Second Spin on the east side! Hey I even still listen to my cassette Walkman while I mow the lawn! 0041

With fire season beginning in April and

continuing until the end of October, there are many things home owners can do to decrease the likelihood of fires. During fire season, Collet urges residents to call the province’s burn line toll free at 1-866-458-8080 for daily updates on conditions in their area. You can also go online and check the fire watch page for details; information is updated daily at 2 p.m., and that conditions can change without warning. Cities, towns and villages often have their own bylaws that restrict burning. It is your responsibility to find out what those bylaws are. If it doesn’t, your area is governed by the provincial guideline. Following are some other tips you can use to help protect your home from fire. Store gas and other flammable liquids in safe containers that are properly labelled

and away from occupied buildings. If you have liquid petroleum on your property, it’s important to keep tanks a safe distance from buildings and the surrounding area clear of vegetation. Along with cleaning gutters, roof lines, branches and leaves and debris from around buildings, place a non-flammable screen over all chimney and stove pipe openings and remove any tree limbs in close proximity to these openings. Removing lower branches from tree trunks can also prevent fire from spreading as quickly.

Always have fire tools handy such as a ladder, water bucket, rake and shovels. Your garden hose should always be connected to a faucet for quick access, and all roadways leading to your home or property should be at least five metres wide to allow fire fighters easy access in case of fire. Posting your civic address at the entrance to your driveway is also very important. The theme of this year’s Fire Prevention Week is Hear The Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm! This is where you can do your part to be prepared should a fire break out inside your home. In addition to having working smoke

alarms on each level of your home, having a working detector near your bedroom area and at each level of a residence is becoming increasingly required by law. New technology is making this easier for home owners to accomplish. There are now new types of smoke alarms that can be electronically interconnected wirelessly. If, for example, smoke activates a smoke alarm in the basement of a house, all the home’s smoke alarms will sound simultaneously regardless of how far away they are from the smoke’s source. If additional smoke alarms are installed voluntarily in each bedroom, you are immediately alerted and gain precious seconds to deal with the situation and safely escape from a house fire. “As a member of the Millstream Fire Department, don’t forget to change the batteries in your smoke alarms” -Kevin Crealock

GET FiSHiNG CATCH & RELEASE FISHING It has been said “a good game fish is too valuable to be caught only once”, and I firmly believe this. That is why today, regardless of if I catch nice trout, striped bass, or even a 4-foot sturgeon, I almost always practice catch and release fishing. As thrilling as landing a trophy fish can be, it is equally rewarding to watch the fish safely swim away to perhaps be caught again by another lucky angler. It is vital that we are responsible in how we enjoy our world class recreational fishing resource, otherwise our kids and grand kids will not be able to. One important way to do this is through catch and release fishing. What this means simply is after you catch a fish, take a picture or do what you will for a moment to enjoy it, and then release it back to swim away. Now I don’t practice catch and

release 100% of the time and nor am I saying that you should either. There is nothing wrong with taking a meal home once in a while. I have brought home a meal of brook trout in the Spring, a striped bass from reversing falls, a small bag of yellow perch that my 5 year old caught this year and a feed of mackerel just the other week. But that pales in comparison to the hundreds of fish that my boys and I have release over the sides of our kayaks through the year. If everyone were to keep every fish that is legally allowed to be kept, it would put undue strain on the fish populations and the numbers would noticeably drop. Unfortunately we already see this today in many areas as both quantity and size of some fishing locations are in noticeable decline. There is a correct and incorrect way to release a fish, and this is important to know. Just throwing a fish back in the water may result in it floating belly up. Any fish that has been through the

trauma of being hooked and reeled in is going to be tired, especially if there was a long fight. A few minutes out of water will mean the fish will use up even more of the oxygen in its system. To release the fish, you will want to cradle it in your hand and hold it in the water, gently moving it back and forth so that water can flow around the gills getting oxygen back into the bloodstream. Once recovered, the fish will let you know when it is ready to swim away. Have fun out there, be safe and catch a big one! 0044

iN THE GARDEN ALL THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT! As I write, the promise of prolonged rain spurs me on to think that I might yet get some transplanting and serious weeding done before the cold puts an end to gardening for the season (and before my joints refuse to dig any more in the concrete like earth!). Despite the unusually prolonged drought most vegetable gardeners have realised a pretty good harvest, with the exception of producing ripe tomatoes, mine were at least a month late in ripening and though the vines were loaded, the fruit was unusually hard with tough skins, doubtless due to scant rainfall; tomatoes suffer more than most crops when there is an inconsistent supply of water and our dilemma is having to risk the consequences of a ’dry well’ if we choose to water them. The abundance of Apples and berries on the Roses, Hawthorn, Rowan and

High Bush Cranberries will bring great joy to the jelly makers and of course those that are out of reach for human hands will provide wonderful food for the birds through the coming winter. Jellies made from these fruits are high in vitamin C and a very good defense against the common cold; a spoon full of any of them in a mug of hot water can soothe a raw throat in record time! While harvesting the fruits I do a bit of pruning, branches that rub against each other should be removed and trees need to be opened up to allow good airflow and access to the sun. Raspberries and blackberries require the canes that bore fruit to be removed at ground level since they will not bear fruit again. With the winds that are forecast along with the much needed rain, one can be sure that an intensive ‘pick up’ will be the order of the day; along with the obvious sticks and branches there is a need to keep the ground under the fruit trees clear of fallen fruit; various pests use them as lush condominiums for

their winter retreats and emerged rested and eager to do their deadly work in the spring, a bit of extra care at this time of year will reap dividends in the future. Once the promised rain has done its stuff and the ground has softened up a bit, a good run around with the mowers will hopefully be the last time that the grass will need cutting; it is wise to lift the blades a bit as protection against winter kill, however I do often make use of the mower as an alternative to raking once the leaves have fallen; though this might come across as pure laziness it actually is of benefit to the grass as the chopped leaves provide a mulch that is nutritious and one that is easily absorbed into the turf. Blessings. 0038 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month; a time to increase awareness of the disease and raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The annual campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer. Below, Margaret Totten shares her personal journey with breast cancer.

cancer treatment. There are 5 tips I personally would share with anyone facing breast cancer, all of which relate to adopting the traits of a Survivor early on. Survivors: 1. Make a Commitment to Survive - we never give up. 2. Stay Curious - remain willing to learn and admit we don’t have all the answers. 3. Practice Resilience - with time, learn to let go of trauma, mistakes and pain to live again. 4. Make Peace with Uncertainty - stay present, take action, and focus on what we can do now. 5. Reach out for Support - this helps immeasurably.

Did you know that 1 in 9 Canadian women will get breast cancer in their lifetime? That’s 67 women diagnosed with breast cancer in Canada every day. (Atlantic Breast Cancer Foundation). Three years ago I myself was diagnosed with Stage 2B breast cancer, had surgery, and completed chemotherapy and radiation. Although no one can predict the future, I feel very blessed to be a Survivor and to have been able to move on with my life. How a person handles a diagnosis is as unique and individual as their personality, background and way of looking at life. It’s been said that “the way we do anything is the way we do everything,” so it’s likely that one’s past ways of dealing with stress, grief or uncertainty will surface to hinder OR help one as they navigate the challenges of breast

SUSSEX SALON HOLDING FUNDRAISER TO BENEFIT HOSPICE PROGRAM Shelley Doyle is in the business of making people look good and feel good about themselves. So, when the owner of Complete Sense Salon & Day Spa in Sussex saw an opportunity to expand her skills to include wig fittings, breast prosthetics and bra fittings, she soon discovered the need for these services was far greater than she’d imagined. While she says adding a wig service to her business was always part of her plan, the addition of a breast prosthesis and bra fitting service happened quite by accident while volunteering with the Look Good Feel Better program at the Saint John Regional Hospital. The Look Good Feel Better program is dedicated to improving the self-esteem and quality of life of people undergoing treatment for cancer. Their goal is to improve patient’s self image and appearance through complimentary group, individual and self-help beauty sessions that create a sense of support, confidence, courage and community. “I quickly realized that many of the patients in the program, as well as the ladies that had come to me for a wig fitting, didn’t know where they could go for breast prosthesis and fittings,” Doyle explained. “It was then that I discovered that this was needed in both our area and the Saint John area.” Since receiving her training to become a certified fit specialist, Doyle has set up a private fitting room at her 5 Moffett Avenue location. St. Joseph’s Hospital has also donated a room at the hospital for Doyle to provide services to anyone who is unable to travel to Sussex. On the advice of her beloved grandmother, she is also willing to do home visits for clients. “My grandmother, who passed away recently, said to me that I should do this because she had breast prosthetics and said the one time the lady came to her house for a fitting was the best experience and that it was the best fitted of all.”

As well, tickets can be purchased on a basket full of breast cancer ‘pink’ products that will also be drawn for that evening. Anyone who would like to contribute to the hospice fundraiser, but are unable to make it in that day, can drop off there donation any time between now and Oct. 26. Doyle said there will also be an Amoena Bras representative on hand that day with breast prosthetic products and information, and they are also looking for a candidate to donate their hair to the Locks of Love program.

ASK THE CHEF PERFECT PUMPKIN PIE Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest foods produced when our ancestors first came over from Europe. The true meaning of Canadian Thanksgiving was formed in the church where congregations would gather and share what they had harvested so that everyone would be ready for the long winter. They would feast and give thanks to God for the harvest and this has carried on ever since. I think we need more of this part of the tradition in today's Thanksgiving. Now when I think of Thanksgiving I think of my oldest daughter Samantha. It’s not Christmas or her birthday, but Thanksgiving that she looks forward to each year. So this year I asked her why? She said it was the one day a year that everyone came together as a family, both immediate and even some that had no place to go that year, where we all sat down and had some of her favourite

foods and we all would say what they were thankful for in that past year. Samantha’s favourite dish is pumpkin pie. So this article is dedicated to Samantha and here is my favourite pumpkin pie recipe. You can use canned or fresh pumpkin for this recipe, I prefer fresh pumpkin. Squash can also be used instead of pumpkin, your choice. It will not make much difference, just the taste would need to be adjusted slightly. Take an average size pumpkin, remove the top and clean out the inside of all the seeds. Do not throw out the seeds. Cut the pumpkin, with the skin on, into cubes. Rub with oil and bake in the oven at 325o for about an hour or fork tender. Allow to cool. While you wait for it to cool, make a pie crust and partially cook it. Scrape the pumpkin from the skins and add to a food processor. You will need about three pounds of pureed pumpkin. Now in no specific order add one can of condensed milk (14oz), one half cup of whipping cream, 2 tbls of cornstarch,

2tbls of molasses, 2tbls vegetable oil, 1 tbls cinnamon, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp of salt and three eggs. Mix together until you have combine thoroughly. Place mixture in your pie shell and cook for one hour or until the centre is firm, at 350 degrees. Whip the rest of your whipping cream and serve it on the side or on top of your pumpkin pie. Now, if you did not throw out your seeds you can give them a good rinse, place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little salt and bake with your pie for 20 minutes or the seeds begin to turn brown. You can now use these seeds as garnish for your pie or in a salad or side dish. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. 0040

POiNT OF ViEW END OF AN ERA It's been a fixture in the tiny, rural community of Wickham for as long as most people – including me -can remember. Even if you've never heard of Wickham, much less know how to get there, you've likely still heard of its little country store. Ducey's Grocery is located in a rustic two storey wood structure that sits at the crest of a hill overlooking the beautiful St. John River. It's known simply as Ducey's by those who live and do business there. As the community's one and only retail business, it's also become somewhat of a beacon in the night. If you can find your way to Ducey's, you know you've reached Wickham. On Saturday, Oct. 3, after more than 50 years of valuable service to the community, Ducey's closed its doors. I knew this day might someday come, but I still wasn't prepared for the whole range of emotions I felt at hearing the news. After all, some of my fondest childhood memories are of trips to Ducey's store. As kids, we thought nothing of pedalling our bicycles several kilometres from our home in McDonald's Point to Wickham, just so we could empty our pockets of coin and fill our bellies with junk food. Somehow, the chips and chocolate just tasted a little better at Ducey's. Ken Ducey, who purchased the store from its former owner in 1962, could often be found in the nearby 'honey house' bottling honey and packaging honeycomb for sale at the store. Ken's son, Allen, ran the store back then, and I distinctly remember him being surrounded most days by a motley crew of locals who 'needed' to catch up on the news. Their tradition of gathering at the store, especially on Saturday nights, would even serve as the inspiration for tshirts that included caricatures of the regulars emblazoned with the words, I Survived Saturday Night In Wickham. Ducey's carried pretty much anything you could imagine, but Christmas time was especially great for chocolate lovers like myself. That's when Ganong's double dipped chocolates would arrive by the box, just waiting to be scooped into individual bags and sold to willing taste

testers like me. Les and Elizabeth (Betty) Ducey have owned and operated the store in the many years since then, and I'm sure their decision to close was a difficult one to make. Rumour has it that they're considering reopening for next year's summer season. I sure hope so! I know I can't wait to go back there (this time by car), empty my pockets of coin and

fill my belly with some sweet treats. After all, they just taste a little better at Ducey's. 0032

PORTAGE RECOGNITION CEREMONY Portage Atlantic hosted its 19th Annual Recognition Ceremony on Sunday, September 27 at Sussex High School, with over 300 guests in attendance. The celebration recognized 41 youth for completing the residential phase of the Portage treatment program, as well as those who have maintained a positive lifestyle since they completed the residential program one year ago. Recognition Day has special meaning to the youth and families who have been supported by the Portage Program at Cassidy Lake. Dr. Russell H.T. King, Portage Atlantic Chairman, congratulated the youth being recognised and their families. His message touched on this year’s Recognition theme, “Together We Can”, which symbolizes the Portage Program. Guest speaker, New Brunswick’s Lieutenant-Governor, The Honourable Jocelyne Roy Vienneau, also relayed a message of congratulations, referring to the courage and determination those being recognized. Portage Atlantic is recognized as an

youth in treatment. The academic milestones reached by Portage Atlantic residents over the past year

were highlighted at the ceremony: 116 high school credits were earned, four youth worked towards their general equivalency diploma (GED), 32 participated in a hands-on training program in seven skilled trades through the NB Department of Education, Training and Labour, and sixteen completed a First Aid/ CPR Training. In addition, several of the graduates recognised on Sunday are enrolled in post-secondary institutions and seven to date this year have been awarded Portage Atlantic bursaries and Lion Ron Evans Bursaries this year, together totaling $25,500. Portage Atlantic is a residential treatment centre for youth between the ages of 14 and 21 with serious substance abuse problems. The bilingual program, located at Cassidy Lake, is offered to youth from throughout Atlantic Canada. The approach to treatment is based on the therapeutic community model which, through positive peer pressure and role modelling, helps youth increase self-esteem by developing coping mechanisms and transferable skills. 3723

MUSiNGS MURPHY’S LAWS OF HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT It occurred to me last issue when I was writing about the pros and cons of leaving the bed unmade, the one day it was not made is when company would drop-in and label me a slovenly housekeeper. Okay so maybe I am a slovenly housekeeper, or at least a somewhat less meticulous one than I was raised. Sometimes the pots and pans wait a day or two to get washed and the mail may sit on the counter unopened for a few days. But my bed is ALWAYS made. Somehow there seems a distinction to me. The unmade bed feels slovenly, the pots and pans are generally tidily stacked waiting for enough of them to accumulate to justify the hot water to wash them. At any rate, the thought process took me to wondering about what other “Murphy’s Laws” may apply to running a household.

#1. First and foremost: If you clean your house no one will visit. Corollary (You remember those from math class, right? They are the things that logically flow from the proven fact): If you DON’T clean your house your motherin-law and the nosy neighbour will pop in unannounced. #2. As soon as you clean out that junk drawer that has been accumulating “stuff ” for the last 5 years, next week you will need something you just discarded. If you are lucky it is still to be found in the donation bag for whatever charity you support with your cast-offs, but that seems a lot of luck to expect. No, you will have to go buy a replacement, and after you use it this once it will end up in the same junk drawer for another 5 years. #3. Soccer, Dance, Scouts, Piano and Basketball are all on the same day. AND not spaced in such a manner to allow adequate time to get to them all on time on even a sunny evening in September, let alone a snowy January night!

#4. If you have an important appointment for the morning, that is the day the alarm will not go off. You will awake in a panic, dash about to get dressed and feed the kiddies and feel out of sorts all day. Corollary: The one day you CAN sleep-in you will have absent mindedly set the alarm the night before. And don’t forget that the PBJ sandwich will ALWAYS land peanut butter side to the white carpet, the cat will ALWAYS barf up that hairball on your new upholstered chair not the floor, and the child who just went to the bathroom will need to pee as soon as the car gets out of the driveway. Cheers . . . I am off to buy something that will go on sale for half price next week! 0002 Debbie Hickey President, Ossekeag Publishing
