Sandy ... you're going to have to FREE yourself from the garage one of these days!!

I like watching these home makeovers when they re-organize the garage! should I make a call??

Please? lol

sorry .. they 'said' that you'd be better at what you want done!! LOL

FRANK---Get thee to a doc or ER...dying from pneumonia isn't the promise you made to your wife...when you said "I do"...:Noooo:
You need to take care of yourself...if not for you, then for Deb. Be a good hubby and do as she asks, okay?:Poke:

Sandy, I bet that your garage project is huge...I know ours always is (my DH is a drop-and-run guy, so it takes twice as long to find stuff). Every autumn, I get sick of the mess and ask nicely if he would straighten the garage. Then, after a while, I'll go out to see how he's doing, and he's looking at an old tool he'd found under the junk, just looking it over...that's when I roll up my sleeves and dig in. He seems to work much faster when I start making a trash pile, and it's all his favorite things!! Then we can go back and forth about what we're going to keep.:mf_swordfight:

Debbie, my husband doesn't put away HIS toys either!

Sandy, back in the day was the time when my great aunt had MS (she was my grandmother's sister)

Frank, my great aunt DIED of pneumonia... Sandy's right, it was the main cause of death for people with MS in the 50s.

so Frank? GETCHER butte back in BED, dude!

********************

okay, y'all know how I've been whining about the rain that hasn't stopped?

and the bridges and ferries and road closures and all, in my neck of the woods?

well, HERE's what's been going on (some pictures my guest took two hours ago):

Our outdoor vegetable market in San Ignacio, Belize, empty & forlorn

The Macal River at San Ignacio, near the Vegetable Market

see those cars off in the distance, on the other side of the water?

Well, that's the other river bank!

The river's SUPPOSED to run in its bed, but now it's a RIVER WILD!

The channel is wide and very deep, and I had a hard TIME imagining that this could ever flood...

Anyway, what you're looking at here is the bridge, but you can't even SEE it, it's so far underwater!

this is our area in the news:

REGION 9: ON THE MACAL RIVER AT CHALILLO RESERVOIR LEVEL AT 6:A.M. WAS 2.66m ABOVE SPILLWAY AND AT MOLLEJON 2.21 m ABOVE THE SPILLWAY AND FALLING. NEAR CHAA CREEK LEVELS ARE RECEDING. AT 6:00 A.M. LEVELS NEAR SAN IGNACIO LEVELS ARE 4.77 METRES ABOVE THE LOW LEVEL BRIDGE AND RECEDING. ON THE MOPAN RIVER NEAR BENQUE VIEJO TOWN LEVELS HAVE EXCEEDED BOTH HURRICANES MITCH AND KEITH STAGES AND IS PEAKING AT THIS MOMENT.

4.77 meters? hmmm, that's around 12 feet... so that's how deep under water our bridge is!

Had a reality check today. Feeling a little down, but have plans in place to move forward from here. Hubby and I had a long talk about some things that need done and changes to be made. He also reminded me that no matter what, he's here for the long haul. :)

So going to take a nap here soon. Been a bit of an emotional day, but think I can see a light at the end of the current tunnel.

Hope everyone has a great evening. :grouphug:
