He's not necessarily an exception. I spend a ridiculous amount of time in front of my computer and rather wish I didn't. As they say, it's a big world out there. People who've missed out may nevertheless be cognizant of the price they've paid.

That's an interesting article about preferences of the generations behind us.. My son in law whould be an exception. He cannot keep from playing with his cell phone all the time, literally. I don't know if its boredom or just that he will not exercise any social skills and put the doggone thing down, but I would not hesitate to take a 2 pound hammer to it for him..

Their kids, being raised by him, did not fall far from that tree. They could not hold a conversation if their life depended on it and yet they both want to be teachers.

'To me, that's a hoot. My grandson says he wants to teach history and loves the civil war.

I have offered him an entire library book case full of civil war books for him to sink his teeth into, Shelby Foote's television series on the civil war, and even a newspaper I have from Philadelhia that was printed in 1864. My cousin collected these.. She graciously gave me one when I was out there last time.. To me, it's priceless.

SO, for someone who loves this era of American history, why don't they avail themselves of more resources than they have at their colleges? Beats me. All I can do is offer it to them.

On a different topic, I am trying to figure out what to do with my book and library collections upon my death.

I would like someone to have them that will appreciate them and use them. That pretty well leaves out my family that lives here. I doubt highly my lawyer daughter or her family would want them either.

So, I have a small dilemna..

Anyway, I am having my last will and testament re-done and will need to know these answers before that.. Of course everything just transfers to my wife because it all is in her name as well as mine for that very reason.
She will be a wealthy woman when that happens which was my plan all along.

Anyway, these are the things I am pondering and trying to figure out.

Besides remodeling the second full bathroom. New flooring, new vanity, sink, plumbing, new paint on walls.

So far I got the plumbing done underneath the vanity top which also is brand new. SO I have to remove it completely from thatroom as well as the Kohler toilet to get these things out of the way so I can remove and replace the flooring. Its only vinyl tile because the bathroom is small and hardly anyone ever uses it except me. I love it personally. A small 36 inch square shower stall that is plenty big for getting clean. I made that entire family room by converting my garage amd added a second full bath as well as a laundry room behind that.

So miz micro has been waiting to POUNCE once I started moving and acting like I was ready to go again! loL!!!!

SO that's my day.
Hope yours is better! Thumbs Up Laughing

later,

micro...
