:donut: and lurkers. Glad to hear all is well in the Ozy household.

It's amazing how things can change in 24 hours. Bush leaves the state, the sun comes, the air is fresh.....

But truly, I am happy because we have a new addition to our family tree. Our newest lil nut was finally, officially adopted. Rachel has been living with my brother and SIL since she was taken from her home as a toddler. She had 2 broken arms and suffered from a 'failure to thrive'. She is certainly thriving these days. She is a hoot and a holler. She did hoard food for a while but that has stopped. The only residual problem we have is a few anger issues and they have to work through those. The school district has corporal punishment, but my brother has been really firm on that point and insists that he can be there in under 15 minutes to address the problems. A firm word from him has a lot more meaning to her than any spanking the principal could do.

The worst thing she did of late was whip the crap out of a 4th grader that was tormenting her on the bus and bus stop (she is in 1st grade).:wow: Brother refused to punish her for standing up for herself, and told the male student that if he wanted to tell the school 1)that he was teasing a 1st grader and 2) admit that she whipped his butt, he was free to do so, but it might make him look stupid. That problem seemed to work itself out.:rofl: Yeah, she's the littlest nut on our family tree-she fits right in.

And speaking of nuts, they keep trying to pass off this PTT activity as bargain hunting:eyes:
That's the current spin anyway. I think the web they are weaving is getting a tad tangled.


Happy hunting and watch out for the bears.

Edited to add that the spell check has gone wild today-hope I got everything.
