Good And Bad News

Warren Zevon.

Glad to you're settling in. Hope the critters haven't drawn too much blood.

Mohamed Ali ain't got NOTHIN' on my buddy Peatle! Thanks my friend!

Bill

Thanks, my friend. Actually, as I write, things are settling down quite nicely. Dondra is busy buying curtains, looking at a new sofa and smiling genuine smiles rather than the indulging ones she managed for family and friends these past few months.

This is a three-bedroom apartment ("flat" as  my British friends call it) with plenty of closet space and very nice amenities, but when I asked if there'd be  room for my drums, she said, "Yeah, I've got the perfect place for your drums, dear, but I don't believe all of them will fit there." 

Tea Tree Oil is taking care of the scabies, and if you've ever had 'em (I would not wish them on my worst enemy) you know it's a long fight to bring them under control (you never get rid of them all), but y'all know the way I am, right? I wouldn't know how to act if something wasn't going wrong!!!! :")

So Roger; your "Southern Belle" friend sends love and hugs and thanks you for yours.

Here we're awaiting the arrival of "Nate" the next hurricane which will clip part of my State this time, so we are "battening down the hatches", as Captain Hornblower would say.

Thanks as always for standing by us, my friends. You honor us with your friendship and good will!

Bill and Dondra

Good to hear you are settling into your new "digs".    I'm with Beamer about the "bombs", we've been battling fleas this year.   Mild winters and an explosion of Voles hasn't helped the situation, and with the cat and dog taking laps outdoors, even the real spendy chemicals (that are supposed to hang around 260 days) barely keeps ahead of the new "crop".
Much as I hate insecticides, that is the only recourse this year until we get a good freeze.

Hope that little storm spares you folks down in that part of the country..... more flooding would not be a good way to go into the Winter months with the seasonal rainfall coming.

So which corner of the garage do you get to "park" your drum set in?? 

It's been a rough ride for sure, Z. Using the high-powered cream to cover my whole body. - (yes - there too), but after 12 hours or so, it's like a whistle has been blown and they all wake up simultaneously!!! A hive of bees in my head!!! These are mites and can adapt very quickly to anything used to fight them. I won't go into details (unless you ask me a specific question), but I've pretty much tried it all except for setting my head ablaze.

Bill

Hi Bill. Been a bit AWOL of late so now I'm catching up. This has been an awful year for you both and now Dondra wants to store your kit in the bin? Not on mate, put yer foot down gently lol.
I got a little itchy myself a couple of years back....no I wasn't a naughty boy....so Ann shaved me from my neck down, they didn't bother with my head, nothing to grip onto I suppose? Then used teatree oil for a week or so ev wallah gone. I think they came from a pair of spare overalls I was given in work as the cleaners had lost mine.

Get the bug man in, if your new home is rented your landlord should foot the bill?

Three bed rooms? Line the walls with egg boxes and bash hell outta dem der drums in the spare room

Love to Dondra, and try not to scratch
