You crack me up. I guarantee that if it had been myself and hubby in your shoes he'd have grabbed the same thing to use! You would love one of the local guilds down here. They schedule their quilt shows in the convention haLLC so that there's their show in one hall, and a gun show across from it in the next hall. You see alot more happy couples at that show than I've ever seen at any other show!
fwiw personal responsibility has gone so far out the window in tho's country we might never see it as the norm again. Sad.
