DH and I both love British comedy. Two years ago for Christmas, I got him the Monty Python box set, last year Fawlty Towers. There just aren't enough episodes! We sometimes sit up at night to watch MP after the kids have gone to bed, and just laugh until we cry. One of our favorite Fawlty Towers scenes: John Cleese LEAPING and stomping on this fictitious bug in the corner of the room (trying to draw attention away from the body in the wardrobe), he was just going insane, trying to "kill" this bug. Guess it's just me, but it still makes me laugh just thinking about it. DH wants to try and film some skits of our own (we're nuts), but no one would get it... besides, you can't do it without a British accent! :o) I haven't seen "Victor of Dibely", will have to look for it. I used to watch Are You Being Served on PBS. In fact, it's thanks to KET (local PBS) that I like British television. Comedy, murder mysteries, All Creatures Great and Small...gosh, I'd forgotten... I was in jr high/high school, we lived in the sticks, no cable, little black and white TV in my room with bad reception. Hot tea (for ambiance!), Agatha Christie...cool memories! Thanks, bakemom!

That is the fish from Nemo (only have seen that a few hundred times). LOL! Thanks for the laugh - we are on week 2 of the flu so I could use one. I am so tired of dealing with it...if only they could have caught it at the same time instead of a week apart, #@!&!!! I should count my blessings though, dh and I haven't come down with it yet!

LOL Ron White the poor guy, is getting into trouble up here for his cigars! We are pretty much a no smoking state. He lit up during his act and **horrors** they fined him $100 for smoking in a public place! I bet that REALLY hurt him! I love Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy is my favorite and who is the other guy?? Darn if I can remember his name!

WoW! The gang's all here! And it sounds like everyone is still very busy. I to have DH home all day, but rather than trying to manage everything, he just sits in his chair and of course I don't get anything done with him sitting there so I find "something" for him to do and he just looks at me and asks, "Why don't you just ask me to leave the house so you can get stuff done?" He has been retired for 19 years now so I am used to him being around but it was a big challenge in the beginning. I like my quiet time! Our Pond....I love our pond and until the flood it was really not much work at all and all of the water lilies and other flowering plant are so beautiful and the fish become friends. After the "high water event" we though "doing this" several times would fix the problem of silt...they didn't so we did what we should have done in the first place, remove everything and start from scratch. The large rocks were the hardest. It's like building a rock wall - everything has to fit together and for some reason I do better at this than DH so I pointed at a rock and he moved it and like a little bird making her nest I would turn it 5 times and put it back the way it was the first time. It is now beautiful again but no sipping drinks...it's raining! Luvs...don't you just love block garage sales? We used to have a 3 mile long garage sale here on our road, all of about 20 homes. It was always so much fun. Maybe it will happen again in a year or two. Anj...how is DH doing? Much better I hope! And about your having a water feature....they are well worth the effort and if you don't have fish they are so easy. We built our pond in '04 and have had so many hours of enjoyment. Punk, so much work and now taking on your brothers new home...and the pressure we put on ourselves when we have company, so take a vacations already! Don't you all just love the fall season! It is my favorite time of the year as far as colors. Our tree leaves aren't very "colorful" when they change, mostly they just get yellow and drop off the trees. Thank goodness for all of the artificial stuff! And now the gourds and pumpkins look so real. Like you Luv, I start with fall and just add Halloween things and remove them and add Thanksgiving things. And with more children in the area I need to make up some crafty treats to give out even though most kids go off to town to Trick or Treat, so I drop off their goodies. Well, we didn't get the deck and porch stained...but it is covered in hopes of a couple of dry days. So now we are putting up new insulation under the house. I don't think we will every get everything done! So our selling and moving is still on the back burner. Houses here are not selling at all, but then would you like to buy a house that flooded two years ago? Neither does anyone else. But time will help. Off to work on the Problem Santa while DH is in town. I finally figured out that someone used acrylics over some kind of oils over acrylics...messsy! Had to use paint remover to get it all off...should have just cut a new face but I have this streak, something about being stubborn. Take Care! Belle
