DYK I can't believe I get to start this thread? 


DYK it's still March 31 st here and only 9 pm, but it's April 1st according to the board b/c it's on a different time zone?


DYK I am excited to start April...I want it to be my most active month yet.

dyk I'm glad I'm not the only one who is over paranoid


dyk this may sound stupid to some people but for the longest time one of the reasons I didn't want a 4th child was because I didn't know how to fit them in the 'going over a bridge evacuation plan'


dyk I don't know what it is with me and bridges but when Stephen was born I thought easy enough unbuckle my belt and then get him ( I usually open the windows when driving over a bridge)


dyk then when I had DeVante I tried to figure how'd I'd get the both of them out....then Stephen upgraded to a car seat that he could get out of.....problem solved


dyk then I had Mateyah.......Stephen could unbuckle himself and help DeVante while I unbuckled myself and grabbed Mateyah


dyk of course if David were in the car he could help


dyk man.....see.....didn't I tell you I was paranoid

DYK Rescue work is very rewarding. A few years back, we were heavily involved in a rottweiler rescue organization. We did lots and lots of transports and kept a few dogs overnight during transports. Our rotty mix is a rescued dog. I wish we still had the time to devote to rescue work. I loved being spending time with all those different dogs and knowing that we were helping to make a difference.

DYK Thanks Cathy. I surely hope it's just a phase. And if I can live thru it without ripping all my hair out, it will be a miracle.

DYK Yes, I can tell that Jada is well loved!!! Labs are easy to love. So eager to please. My dachshund (Sugar)...she could care less whether you love on her or not. And the rotty (Duke), well he's just the jealous one. He never wants attention unless he thinks the other two are getting attention. They are a crazy bunch...

DYK Yippee...all caught up...for the moment!!!

DYK Tomorrow is a state holiday (our company takes all state holidays), so Bruce is at home. But Maegan has to go to school. It's been fun to tease her about the party we're having while she's at school tomorrow!!!

DYK I need some opinions. What do you do when your neighbor keeps putting his 'stuff' on your property??? We've tried polite conversations asking him to move his stuff and all he seems to do is exchange one thing for another. His lot is very narrow...and I'm sorry about that, but it's SO NOT our problem. Right now, it's his kid's trampoline. Bruce can't even get the grass cut in that area because of it. It's driving us crazy...and the next time the grass needs to be cut, I guess we'll be dragging it back over to his backyard...

dyk I'd just be moving the neighbors stuff back to his yard and eventually (hopefully) he'd get the hint


dyk we have a problem with our neighbors trash.....they don't put it in bags....just in the cans--that they don't have lids for


dyk if it's windy all their trash blows into our yard.

DYK we're back from Paris and Rome?


DYK we had a WONDERFUL, AMAZING time?


DYK I travelled with my 14yo Amanda as well as a close friend and her 14yo DD (Amanda's BFF)?


DYK it's been 25 years since my college semester in Paris and my French was pretty good?


DYK the Italian lessons I had been taking didn't help much at all?


DYK we met up with the French nanny I had as a child and it was great to see her?


DYK here is where we stayed in Paris: http://www.regina-hotel.com/uk/galerie.htm


DYK here is where we stayed in Rome: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/photos/index.html?propertyID=70
