Brat,
I actually feel a wee bit better about the number of machines I have...after seeing the number that a lot of people here on qb have.
I have seen a few who have the entire list of machines they own listed in their signature, that always makes me feel better...lol..and wondering if I need to go shopping???..
Jaba, I bet your fireplace will look lovely! I read where you say the cleaning ladies don't come for another week...I am the cleaning lady here...term used loosely. It's amazing how health issues make one reconsider their definition of "clean"... I am sure having cleaning ladies is a necessity with your back issues...do hope therapy is going well for you! Since I was young my mom has always said "If people are coming to see my house instead of me they can stay home!". She always has kept a tidy house, however...and a dust bunny or 2 now and again doesn't really count. Unless you're in Stephen King's novel "Dolores Claiborne"
