I admit it. This is a true confession, honest. I just never told anyone before! It was all because I was bored and lonely last summer in Singapore when my DH went from there on a business trip to the US... After I checked out Chinatown for the umpteenth time and had sateh and mango smoothies for lunch and swam laps in the apartment roof pool for an hour, I went back to the empty apartment, turned up the AC and the TV volume and checked in with the pond forum. Nothing going on. So, I amused myself with reading everyone's member page. And I noted some important personal info such as birthdays... (That was before everyone's member info got lost and confused (yeay iVillage) etc.) So now you know... I might have your real birthday... if you can't remember, just ask me... *heeheeheeheeheeheehee* :) Mary

If you're talking about the bathroom off the Rumpus room, the only thing I think you really need to do is make it a tiny bit wider. I would bring the bathroom wall out even with the edge of the Rumpus Room's built-in cabinets so that there is a little more "standing room" in front of the toilet and the shower is a little bigger. Then, if window placement will allow you to do so, for the convenience of guests staying in the guest room, you might mirror image the whole bathroom vertically so that the sink (and door) are up close to the guest room and the shower is down by the built-in cabinets. That would save your guests a few steps to reach the toilet in the middle of the night. Now stop obsessing! There ARE only so many ways to arrange a toilet, a shower, and a vanity. LOL! The whole upstairs looks fantastic. Great theater room, nice large play room with plenty of room for a bar sink and fridge and storage of games/toys, a balcony that'll be big enough to actually sit out on to enjoy the view, AND easy access to the unfinished attic! I think you've done good! Now how about having your architect revise the elevation drawings and post those just so we can see them? I'm looking forward to watching you build.

I heard that Allie walks off the show giving the reason that Jake keeps choosing Vienna. Allie said that she & Vienna are nothing alike, so if he has an interest in Vienna, there would not be a possible way for him to like her. Maybe no rose is given out because Allie leaves on her own good will? Last nightÂs episode made me realize that they are really supposed to get married. I know thatÂs what the whole show is about, blah blah, but the seriousness of who is going to live where? He does live in Texas and none of the girls do. I know Jake asked Corrie about living together before marriage, which makes sense to me. (In Jakes situation) Has he really gained enough knowledge about these women in the few short dates to decide spending the rest of their lives together? Plus, it would be a long distance relationship until the girl moved to TexasÂ.(and started a new job and life)

Larry is an odd one for sure. But he is not off of his rocker I promise, just a bit of a recluse. He did not ask about the bill at the vet, because I asked when I went in. He did not ask, and they did not tell. I am $5.00 richer, but feel that I am some what entitled to the extra money. I felt a bit guilty, but I have spent a lot of time, worry and money on Buff over the years, but even at that, it was not the money, but the principle. Buffy is now home, next door, and I am sure will be home here tomorrow. I am still unsure of why he went and picked her up. And took off work early to do so. Guilt? We will probably never know, but what is important, is that Buff is well, and groomed and home. It is a crazy world out there sometimes. I will post a picture tomorrow when she comes here in the morning. Again, thank you all for your love and concern. I know this is just a dog, but this little gal has a soft spot in my heart. Without your help and pushing...I probably might not have had the guts to do what I did. And for that I will always be grateful. Hugs, Trin
