  Okay my house phone is dead again for the umpteenth time this year and so I can't get online except at work.
 Also I called the phone company and told them my husband would be home and they are suppose to send someone out between 1 p. m.  and 7 p. m. nbsp;  - nbsp;  only I forgot to tell my husband to leave his cell phone on just in case they call and the last time I called the house and his cell -
 neither was working or on.
nbsp;
 SO we will see how long it takes them to fix it this time.
nbsp;
 It dies when it rains ( no rain lately)
nbsp;
 It dies when the mowers go through and run over the phone cover thingy sticking out of the ground ( we painted it bright red and they stopped running it over)
nbsp;
 It dies when the ants get into the mechanisms outside (
so far no signs of ants in the pants)
nbsp;
 Oh well -  guess I will have to wait for it to get fixed.  Spent part of the day trying to help out a friend with her house cleaning and sorting.
nbsp;
 She is older and has lost control of the entire house and boy can I sympathize with that.
nbsp;
 Only difference is my house is smaller and hers is more interesting to sort.
nbsp;
 More later.
