HUMOUR

It has been a long time since I tracked down some humour to share, but it is never too late to relax and have a laugh. I just love this one attributed to Dave Barry. “Men are like a fi ne wine. Th ey start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.” On a website that appears to be an abandoned page of Tourism, NB, I found this little gem which is timely for October.“Redneck 911” - A couple of redneck hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are rolled back in his head. Th e other redneck starts to panic, then whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He frantically blurts out to the operator, "O my gawd! Help! My friend just died. He's Dead! What can I do?" Th e operator, trying to calm him says, "Take it easy. I can help. Just listen to me and follow my instructions. First, let’s make sure he's dead." Th ere's a short pause, and then the operator hears a loud gunshot!!! Th e

redneck comes back on the line and says, "OK, now what?" Just in time for the election. “A bus fi lled with Ottawa politicians was

driving through the Lanark County countryside one day, on the campaign trail in 2011. Th e bus driver, caught up in the beautiful scenery, loses control and crashes into the ditch. A farmer living nearby hears the horrible crash and rushes out to discover the wreckage. Finding the Ottawa politicians, he buries them. Th at day, the Mounties come to the

farm to question the man. "So you buried all those politicians?" asked an Offi cer. "Were they all dead?" Th e Lanark farmer answered, "Some said they weren't, but you know how politicians lie." Smart old farmer....” 0001

AN EVENT NOT TO MISS - ROD DAVIS

Are you a Beatles fan? I am! Did you know there was a band before the “Fab Four” that John Lennon started with some friends and that (Skiffl e) band was called Th e Quarrymen. Th is was the band which evolved into Th e Beatles! Rod Davis, one of the original members (who still performs with the band Quarrymen) is coming to the Shiretown Publicans on Sunday, October 25 at 3:00pm as part of a mental health fundraiser presented by your Saint John Suicide Prevention Committee. I will be hosting the event and the Saint John String Quartet will be performing nothing but Beatles and Lennon classics. I had the extreme pleasure of talking to the soft spoken gentleman Rod Davis from his home in England.I asked Rod about why he chose the banjo? “As many other youngsters in Britain at the time we were inspired by

Lonnie Donegen (King of the Skiffl e). If anybody laughed (about why the banjo), I’d say you know that Django Reinhardt started on the banjo. I just fi nally saw the movie “Nowhere Boy” about how John’s mom Julia had been instrumental in his early playing. Th ey went to John’s mother and told her the situation. She said if you tune your guitars to banjo tuning which is open tuning, and these chords I can teach will work fi ne. Why not do that, and that is what they did.” Rod says in how Julia helped John early on. “He used banjo chords all the time I was with them. Only when McCartney arrived did they start changing. At this time they were much keener on Rock ‘N’ Roll than they were on skiffl e. And we were playing more and more Rock ‘N’ Roll which at the time I didn’t enjoy. Of course as a banjo player Rock ‘n’ Roll is not the ideal music for playing LOL, and at the end of the 5th year at school which was July ‘57 I was going to stay on at school for a couple years to try and get to university.” At this time the Quarrymen were leaving? “ Yes, so in

July ‘57 the Quarrymen left me and aft er the summer holidays McCartney fi lled the place which I had vacated. It wasn’t any big deal for me they weren’t going anywhere anyway; I didn’t like Rock ‘N’ Roll.” Rod laughs. We go to talk about how he felt about the Beatles and their success?” I didn’t want to be a Beatle. I didn’t have enough hair. It was just great to see your old friend had made it big. It was fantastic! “ Rod says proudly of his friend. Get your tickets now for this once in a lifetime show. Tickets are available at the Imperial Th eatre Box offi ce, Cochrans in the valley and at the Shiretown Publicans. 0041

LITERACY MONTH

November is Financial Literacy Month, why should we care? Th e latest statistic that I have read is that we are creeping toward a personal fi nancial crisis. According to Statistics Canada for every dollar we have in disposable income we are on our way to spending $1.65. Th e only way that this is possible is that we are using credit. Financial Literacy was defi ned by the Task Force on Financial Literacy as the knowledge, skill and confi dence to make fi nancial decisions. We see the eff ects of fi nancial decisions every day and work with consumers to support them through the situation they fi nd themselves in. Realizing the importance of having the knowledge, skills and confi dence to handle your fi nances is not novel to us at Credit Counselling.

Let’s start with knowledge. Th ere is no way to know all the ins and outs of fi nancial management even when you live it every day. You do not need to be a fi nancial expert; you need to know where you stand fi nancially. Know your interest rate, know your accounts and know your fi nancial goals. Th e way we handle our fi nances is infl uenced by many factors, knowing our behaviours and triggers will allow the knowledge of what to do set in. How about the skills? Not everybody is profi cient in balancing a cheque-book, but if your expenses exceed your pay cheque, you are headed down a slippery slope. Budgeting is essential. It is the one skill we can all do, it does not have to be elaborate, but it must always be current. Take steps in developing your budgeting skills by tracking your expenses, keeping receipts, and organizing your monthly statements. Gaining confi dence in your fi nances will come with paying attention to

them. Open every statement, read every agreement, and track your money (no matter how little or how much). Weigh the pros andcons before using credit or making a big purchase. Read about fi nancial management and fi nd a budget template that works for you. Part of our mission at credit counselling is to educate, that is why we are an active participant in promoting Financial Literacy Month. It is our responsibility to promote the need for knowledge on your fi nances, to assist you in building your fi nancial skills and to assist in building the confi dence you need to make your fi nancial decisions. 0005

On September 1st we announced that we would be following in the footsteps of the towns of St. George and Sussex, in embarking on a project to ‘Honour Our Veterans’ with 30 tribute banners. Within 24 hours of the announcement all available banners were spoken for and SJ Energy graciously off ered to accommodate the installation of an extra 5, for a total of 35 banners. Th e

banners are a tribute to our veterans, both past and present and are sponsored by family, friends or a business for the amount of $225. Th e banner depicts the Canadian and Union Jack fl ags with a parchment background supporting the picture of the veteran. Poppies adorn the base with the name of the veteran, how they served (Navy, Army, RCAF, MN or RCMP) in the confl ict noted (WWI, WWII, Korean, Afghanistan,

etc.) and who has sponsored the banner. Th e base of the banner lists the four major sponsors: the Royal Canadian Legion Lancaster Branch #69; Cedar Hill – Greenwood Cemetery; Saint John Energy and Th e Chamber. Anyone interested in getting a Veterans Banner in future years should contact Cedar Hill - Greenwood Cemetery, at 672-4309 to put their names on a list. 0015

POINT OF VIEWEND OF AN ERA

surrounded most days by a motley crew of locals who 'needed' to catch up on the news. Th eir tradition of gathering at the store, especially on Saturday nights, would even serve as the inspiration for t shirts that included caricatures of the regulars emblazoned with the words, I Survived Saturday Night In Wickham. Ducey's carried pretty much anything you could imagine, but Christmas time was especially great for chocolate lovers like myself. Th at's when Ganong's double dipped chocolates would arrive by the box, just waiting to be scooped into individual bags and sold to willing taste testers like me. Les and Elizabeth (Betty) Ducey have owned and operated the store in the many years since then, and I'm sure their decision to close was a diffi cult one to make. Rumour has it that they're considering reopening for next year's summer season. I sure hope so! I know I can't wait to go back there (this time by car), empty my pockets of coin and fi ll my belly with some sweet treats. Aft er all, they just taste a little better at Ducey's. 0032

It's been a fi xture in the tiny, rural community of Wickham for as long as most people – including me - can remember. Even if you've never heard of Wickham, much less know how to get there, you've likely still heard of its little country store. Ducey's Grocery is located in a rustic two storey wood structure that sits at the crest of a hill overlooking the beautiful St. John River. It's known simply as Ducey's by those who live and do business there. As the community's one and only retail business, it's also become somewhat of a beacon in the night. If you can fi nd your way to Ducey's, you know you've reached Wickham. On Saturday, Oct. 3, aft er more than 50 years of valuable service to the community, Ducey's closed its doors. I knew this day might someday come, but I still wasn't prepared for the whole range of emotions I felt at hearing the news. Aft er all, some of my fondest childhood memories are of trips to Ducey's store. As kids, we thought nothing of pedalling our bicycles several kilometres from our home in McDonald's Point to Wickham, just so we could empty our pockets of coin and fi ll our bellies with junk food. Somehow, the chips and chocolate just tasted a little better at Ducey's. Ken Ducey, who purchased the store from its former owner in 1962, could oft en be found in the nearby 'honey house' bottling honey and packaging honeycomb for sale at the store. Ken's son, Allen, ran the store back then, and I distinctly remember him being

PERFECT PUMPKIN PIE

Th anksgiving is the celebration of the harvest foods produced when our ancestors fi rst came over from Europe. Th e true meaning of Canadian Th anksgiving was formed in the church where congregations would gather and share what they had harvested so that everyone would be ready for the long winter. Th ey would feast and give thanks to God for the harvest and this has carried on ever since. I think we need more of this part of the tradition in today's Th anksgiving. Now when I think of Th anksgiving I think of my oldest daughter Samantha. It’s not Christmas or her birthday, but Th anksgiving that she looks forward to each year. So this year I asked her why? She said it was the one day a year that everyone came together as a family, both immediate and even some that had no place to go that year, where we all sat down and had some of her favourite

foods and we all would say what they were thankful for in that past year. Samantha’s favourite dish is pumpkin pie. So this article is dedicated to Samantha and here is my favourite pumpkin pie recipe. You can use canned or fresh pumpkin for this recipe, I prefer fresh pumpkin. Squash can also be used instead of pumpkin, your choice. It will not make much diff erence, just the taste would need to be adjusted slightly. Take an average size pumpkin, remove the top and clean out the inside of all the seeds. Do not throw out the seeds. Cut the pumpkin, with the skin on, into cubes. Rub with oil and bake in the oven at 325o for about an hour or fork tender. Allow to cool. While you wait for it to cool, make a pie crust and partially cook it. Scrape the pumpkin from the skins and add to a food processor. You will need about three pounds of pureed pumpkin. Now in no specifi c order add one can of condensed milk (14oz), one half cup of whipping cream, 2 tbls of cornstarch,

2tbls of molasses, 2tbls vegetable oil, 1 tbls cinnamon, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp of salt and three eggs. Mix together until you have combine thoroughly. Place mixture in your pie shell and cook for one hour or until the centre is fi rm, at 350 degrees. Whip the rest of your whipping cream and serve it on the side or on top of your pumpkin pie. Now, if you did not throw out your seeds you can give them a good rinse, place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little salt and bake with your pie for 20 minutes or the seeds begin to turn brown. You can now use these seeds as garnish for your pie or in a salad or side dish. I hope you all had a great Th anksgiving. 0040

Whether you’re getting ready to sell your home, or looking to spruce it up for your own enjoyment, there are many simple and inexpensive upgrades you can do to easily add thousands of dollars to your home’s value. Here are just 10 cheap fi xes you can do without breaking the bank.

1. Make your kitchen really cook. Th e kitchen is still considered the heart of the home. So, it makes sense that potential home buyers gravitate to this room when they fi rst view a home for sale. It’s important to make sure your kitchen looks clean and reasonably updated. You can replace an outdated kitchen faucet, add new cabinet door handles and update old lighting fi xtures with brighter, more energy-effi cient ones. If you can’t replace the cabinets, which can be expensive, it’s possible to reface the cabinets you already have. Something as simple as replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts and repainting everything can make your cabinets look like new again. 2. Give appliances a facelift . If your kitchen appliances don’t match, order new doors or face panels for them. Before you order a new dishwasher panel, take apart the one you already have, as many dishwasher panels are white on one side and black on the other. Having a more cohesive looking kitchen makes a big diff erence in the buyer’s mind and does

aff ect the home’s resale price.3. Buff up the bath. Next to the kitchen,

bathrooms are oft en the most important rooms to update. Th ey, too, can be improved without a lot of cash. Simple things like a new toilet seat, pedestal sink and fl ooring make a big diff erence in the look of the bath. If your tub and shower are looking dingy, consider re-grouting the tile and replacing any chipped tiles. A more complete cover-up is a prefabricated tub and shower surround. Th ese one-piece units may require professional installation but can still be cheaper than paying to re-tile walls and refi nish a worn tub.

4. Step up your storage. While newer model homes have plenty of closet space, older homes are notorious for their lack of it. If you have cramped storage areas, it’s a good idea to purchase and install the do-it-yourself wire and laminate closet systems in bedrooms, pantries and entry closets. In the end, your closets will be more functional for you and make your home look more customized to potential buyers, should you choose to sell.

5. Let there be light. If you have boring recessed lighting in your dining and living rooms, consider replacing one of the room’s lights with an eye-catching chandelier. Home stores off er a wide range of inexpensive, but nice-looking, ceiling fi xtures these days. If you have a ceiling fan

and light, you can also buy replacement fan blades (leaving the fan body in place) to update the fi xture’s look. 6. Look underfoot. Carpeting is another detail that can quickly update a home and make it look cleaner. A professional carpet cleaning is an inexpensive investment, especially if your rugs are in good shape and are neutral colours. If your carpet is showing serious wear, you can cover it inexpensive, strategically placed area rugs. 7. Add a room in a week or less. If you have a three-bedroom house with a den, the only reason the den can’t be considered a bedroom may be because it doesn’t have a closet. If you add a closet to that room, you’ve now got a four-bedroom house. Th at adds a lot of value. 8. Mind the mechanics. It’s always a good idea to spend a few bucks on nitty-gritty stuff such as electrical and plumbing. Hire the experts to come in for a few hours to look over your electrical services, fi x any faulty outlets, wrap or fi x loose wires and check for and fi x any leaky faucets and water leaks. Having these things repaired shows the buyer that someone has really taken care of the home and will infl uence the bottom line price. 9. Reframe your entry. Do you have a cheap looking or fl imsy little knob on your main entry door? If so, invest in a substantial-looking handle-and-lock set. A nice, big piece of hardware on the front door signals to newcomers that it’s a solid home. Also, if you’re stuck with a basic steel front door, it can be painted for more eye appeal. You can easily spruce up an existing metal doors with stain and paint. It’s important to start with a good metal primer, before adding a base coat of paint. 10. Consider curb appeal. Although it sounds obvious, a nicely mowed lawn, a few well-placed shrubs and a swept walkway makes a great fi rst impression. What buyers see when they fi rst drive by your home is tremendously important. Th is is their fi rst impression of your home, nice curb appeal is important.

If you don’t have a green thumb, consider hiring a landscaper to install some new sod, plant a few evergreen shrubs and give your front yard a good cleanup. Th ese kinds of changes can instantly change people’s perception of your home and, therefore, increase its value. Your neighbours will love it too.

C.P.V.A. CHAPTER FORMS

In late 2014 the Southern New Br unsw ick/Saskatche wan/ inter-provincial Chapter of the Canadian Peacekeeping Veterans Association (CPVA) began its work in support of veterans, seniors, and single parents. In short, the objects of our organization are as follows: To maintain an active program to advocate on behalf of Veterans and their families; To recognize the military experience of veterans; To improve the quality of life and enhance the wellbeing of veterans and their families; To advise and educate society as a whole of the concerns of veterans and their families; and To assist veterans in regaining their rightful place in society. Our Chapter has thus far rendered assistance to 21 veterans, 5 seniors, and 3 single parents. In each of the cases, those requiring help were given direct help, and each case was followed up to ensure that promised help was delivered in a timely manner. Should you know of a situation where our chapter could help, kindly contact our service officer/president Norman Gaillard 506 847 5991. On National Peacekeepers Day (August 9 each year) 2015, our president was awarded “Peacekeeper of the year” by National President, Ray Kokkonen during ceremonies held in Miramichi. This award was presented in recognition of our Chapter’s exceptional record for the past year. Infrequent meetings of our organization are held at the call of the President, but most information is exchanged through the medium of the internet and at the

National Website: cpva.ca. A successful, fund raising, golf tournament was held at the Welsford Golf Club on July 23, 2015. Prizes were awarded to the top four players. We look forward to an even more exciting tournament next year. Our membership of 83 members is increasing and we continually seek new members. As a direct result of our membership growth, our chapter has been awarded the “chapter of the year” award by the national executive Why not join? Why not invite two others to join as well. Contact President Norman Gaillard (recently awarded “peacekeeper of the year”) at 847-5991. 3731

CHRISTMAS KETTLE CAMPAIGN

The Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle Campaign isn’t only about turkeys and toys; it’s about helping all year long those right here in Saint John who are struggling to make ends meet. It’s about providing a meal to a mentally challenged man who finds himself with no food in his fridge. It’s about providing school supplies to a child who wants to do well academically. It’s about supplying a new mom with diapers or formula or assisting with furniture for the elderly woman whose apartment was destroyed by fire. It’s about helping your neighbour. This Christmas season, give the gift of hope; please give generously and call today to book a few hours manning one of our kettles located throughout the city beginning November 13 and continuing until December 24. Thank-you Saint John for enabling us to give hope! For more info: 634-1633, Shelly McCready, Kettle Coordinator, Community Ministries Coordinator. 3730

To release the fi sh, you will want to cradle it in your hand and hold it in the water, gently moving it back and forth so that water can fl ow around the gills getting oxygen back into the bloodstream. Once recovered, the fi sh will let you know when it is ready to swim away. Have fun out there, be safe and catch a big one! 0044

CATCH & RELEASE FISHING

It has been said “a good game fi sh is too valuable to be caught only once”, and I fi rmly believe this. Th at is why today, regardless of if I catch nice trout, striped bass, or even a 4-foot sturgeon, I almost always practice catch and release fi shing. As thrilling as landing a trophy fi sh can be, it is equally rewarding to watch the fi sh safely swim away to perhaps be caught again by another lucky angler. It is vital that we are responsible in how we enjoy our world class recreational fi shing resource, otherwise our kids and grand kids will not be able to. One important way to do this is through catch and release fi shing. What this means simply is aft er you catch a fi sh, take a picture or do what you will for a moment to enjoy it, and then release it back to swim away. Now I don’t practice catch and release 100% of the time and nor am I saying that you should either. Th ere is nothing wrong with taking a meal home once in a while. I have brought home a meal of brook trout in the Spring, a striped bass from reversing falls, a small bag of yellow perch that my 5 year old caught this year and a feed of mackerel just the other week. But that pales in comparison to the hundreds of fi sh that my boys and I have release over the sides of our kayaks through the year. If everyone were to keep every fi sh that is legally allowed to be kept, it would put undue strain on the fi sh populations and the numbers would noticeably drop. Unfortunately we already see this today in many areas as both quantity and size of some fi shing locations are in noticeable decline. Th ere is a correct and incorrect way to release a fi sh, and this is important to know. Just throwing a fi sh back in the water may result in it fl oating belly up. Any fi sh that has been through the trauma of being hooked and reeled in is going to be tired, especially if there was a long fi ght. A few minutes out of water will mean the fi sh will use up even more of the oxygen in its system.

LIVE WELLOCTOBER IS AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH

Dr. Stephen Shore (2003), author of Beyond the Wall, once wrote: “If you have met one person with Autism - you have met one person with Autism”. A phrase used oft en in the Autism community as it captures the essence of the spectrum - that there is a high degree of variability in social and communicative function, and diff erences in restrictive or repetitive behaviours for those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Each individual child on the spectrum will have their own unique strengths, challenges and struggles and will need as many unique accommodations and supports to face their challenges with confi dence. Recent estimates are that one in every 68 children is diagnosed with ASD and boys remain four times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with this disorder. In recognition of October being Autism Awareness month, I want to share what I

have learned as a parent raising two boys on the Autism spectrum. I have learned to ignore the eye-rolls in restaurants from those who pass judgment. While at the same time I have learned to give a compassionate smile to the parent in a mall with a child experiencing an out-of-control meltdown. I have learned the importance of educating myself on how Autism aff ects the individual child so that I can bring all that I know to the other caregivers in their lives. I have learned that the way I sense my world is vastly diff erent than my boys’ sense of their world. What is only an annoying sound to my ears is ear-piercingly painful for them. I have learned that all behaviours exist for a reason, from the hand-fl apping to the darting eyes in conversation. And I have learned that the best way to determine how they are coping with life is to simply observe their behaviours. Further, I have learned to separate the behaviour from the boy. I have learned that keeping predictable daily routines feeds their sense of security in the world. But most importantly, I have

learned that my role as a parent, to teach, guide and prepare them for adulthood - is not negated by their ASD diagnosis. While Autism may explain behaviours, it never excuses behaviours. As a parent it is critical to still hold my children accountable for their behavior while acknowledging the diff erence between teaching and disciplining and coming up with creative strategies to modify and replace behaviors when necessary. Lastly, I have come to realize that, if it takes a whole village to raise a child, as the African proverb suggests, it most certainly takes a village to support parents raising a child with special needs. Autism should be thought of as a community issue. By supporting parents, by extension, we support the child. 0008

THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE RESCUED

633-2011


IN THE GARDEN

Betty Kennett,Resident Green Thumb

ALL THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT!

As I write, the promise of prolonged rain spurs me on to think that I might yet get some transplanting and serious weeding done before the cold puts an end to gardening for the season (and before my joints refuse to dig any more in the concrete like earth!). Despite the unusually prolonged drought most vegetable gardeners have realised a pretty good harvest, with the exception of producing ripe tomatoes, mine were at least a month late in ripening and though the vines were loaded, the fruit was unusually hard with tough skins, doubtless due to scant rainfall; tomatoes suff er more than most crops when there is an inconsistent supply of water and our dilemma is having to risk the consequences of a ’dry well’ if we choose to water them. Th e abundance of Apples and berries on the Roses, Hawthorn, Rowan and

High Bush Cranberries will bring great joy to the jelly makers and of course those that are out of reach for human hands will provide wonderful food for the birds through the coming winter. Jellies made from these fruits are high in vitamin C and a very good defense against the common cold; a spoon full of any of them in a mug of hot water can soothe a raw throat in record time! While harvesting the fruits I do a bit of pruning, branches that rub against each other should be removed and trees need to be opened up to allow good airfl ow and access to the sun. Raspberries and blackberries require the canes that bore fruit to be removed at ground level since they will not bear fruit again. With the winds that are forecast along with the much needed rain, one can be sure that an intensive ‘pick up’ will be the order of the day; along with the obvious sticks and branches there is a need to keep the ground under the fruit trees clear of fallen fruit; various pests use them as lush condominiums for

their winter retreats and emerged rested and eager to do their deadly work in the spring, a bit of extra care at this time of year will reap dividends in the future. Once the promised rain has done its stuff and the ground has soft ened up a bit, a good run around with the mowers will hopefully be the last time that the grass will need cutting; it is wise to lift the blades a bit as protection against winter kill, however I do oft en make use of the mower as an alternative to raking once the leaves have fallen; though this might come across as pure laziness it actually is of benefi t to the grass as the chopped leaves provide a mulch that is nutritious and one that is easily absorbed into the turf.

MURPHY’S LAWS OF HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT

It occurred to me last issue when I was writing about the pros and cons of leaving the bed unmade, the one day it was not made is when company would drop-in and label me a slovenly housekeeper. Okay so maybe I am a slovenly housekeeper, or at least a somewhat less meticulous one than I was raised. Sometimes the pots and pans wait a day or two to get washed and the mail may sit on the counter unopened for a few days. But my bed is ALWAYS made. Somehow there seems a distinction to me. Th e unmade bed feels slovenly, the pots and pans are generally tidily stacked waiting for enough of them to accumulate to justify the hot water to wash them. At any rate, the thought process took me to wondering about what other “Murphy’s Laws” may apply to running a household.

#1. First and foremost: If you clean your house no one will visit. Corollary (You remember those from math class, right? Th ey are the things that logically fl ow from the proven fact): If you DON’T clean your house your mother-in-law and the nosy neighbour will pop in unannounced. #2. As soon as you clean out that junk drawer that has been accumulating “stuff ” for the last 5 years, next week you will need something you just discarded. If you are lucky it is still to be found in the donation bag for whatever charity you support with your cast-off s, but that seems a lot of luck to expect. No, you will have to go buy a replacement, and aft er you use it this once it will end up in the same junk drawer for another 5 years. #3. Soccer, Dance, Scouts, Piano and Basketball are all on the same day. AND not spaced in such a manner to allow adequate time to get to them all on time on even a sunny evening in September, let alone a snowy January night!

#4. If you have an important appointment for the morning, that is the day the alarm will not go off . You will awake in a panic, dash about to get dressed and feed the kiddies and feel out of sorts all day. Corollary: Th e one day you CAN sleep-in you will have absent mindedly set the alarm the night before. And don’t forget that the PBJ sandwich will ALWAYS land peanut butter side to the white carpet, the cat will ALWAYS barf up that hairball on your new upholstered chair not the fl oor, and the child who just went to the bathroom will need to pee as soon as the car gets out of the driveway. Cheers . . . I am off to buy something that will go on sale for half price next week! 0002
