Hello,
I ended up helping my friend who is in the middle of moving.


Beth,
I hope that you had fun at IHOP. I had to google Swedish Pancakes because I did not know what they are. They look good.


Pam,
You have indeed given him a lot. At the very least, he could show appreciation and gratitude -- but that is not usually how it works. I think that the anger (or whatever his issue is) takes over.


Barbara,
Hurray for you and laundry! I am soooo behind.
I have several loads to do on Sunday.
Did you make it to church?


Abbbie,
Cool beans on the iPod! What kind of music did you load it with?


Donna,
I give my hubby very clear instructions. Recently, I told him I was going to type up and print out a list of things to say to me when I am upset about something in general so that he can be sure to say the right thing and not make stuff worse by saying whatever pops in his head without thinking.
