My Mom kept all her mail since my Dad died in 1982. That was scary.

As in junk mail??

Did she at least open her mail? My dad didn't even bother opening it.

And you got off light if you only filled one dumpster. Cleaning out my father's (small) house took two. And three different complete cleanings by three different people/groups to get it to the point of being able to sell it as a "fixer-upper". *sounds of disgust*

Yeah, she did go through it. She even wrote checks for the bills, but never sent them. It took a long time to get that straightened out, as well as her check book. She thought she was broke when she had over $13k in a non-interest bearing checking account.

I guess I should elaborate. I finished the first floor. I never went to the 2nd floor or the basement.

That'll take another 8-10 days of vacation.

TOAW III was just released, and I'm currently downloading it. Between this, and my coming exams, a 24-hour day just won't be enough...

Well, our son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are visiting us, and they were outside enjoying the pool... when our fearless guard dog intercepted an (apparent) rattesnake about 15 feet from the baby (on a blanket on the ground).

The female (coward bossy) dog was firmly behind the male, urging him on. (bark, bark, bark...)

The snake was herded out of the yard into the woods. My wife said they weren't sure what kind of snake it was, but it hissed and rattled. Only one kind of snake rattles that i know of...

Got to get a mongoose. The snake would have been dinner.

Is it just my computer, or worse IT Nazis, or were the forums down for a few hours today?

I couldn't log onto the web page at all for a while today. I thought it was the morons down the hall who manage our IT had just tried something new.

Not sure how a mongoose would get along with the dogs...

Occasionally we will find dead snakes in the yard, apparently killed by #1 dog. Not rattlesnakes though (at least not so far). #1 Dog will take on snakes - girl dog will urge him on (barking from a safe distance).

Well, behind that particular brave male dog was a loud girl dog!

Apparently the girl dog saw the male after something, butted in to see what was going on, saw the snake, and backed up behind #1 Dog and started barking furiously.

Did she wet herself too?

I remember one of my cats got the handle of a plastic grocery hooked around his neck and under one foreleg. Of course, a big rattly thing chasing you no matter how fast one runs is a scary thing indeed! When we finally caught him (that took a while), the bag was more of a water balloon.....

Hilarious. You have to picture a straight stairwell with two rooms to each side at the top, and every few seconds a cat and plastic grocery bag would zip between them.

Hard to know - she was outside at the time, although AFAIK she did not reportedly lose wholesale control of her sphincters!

Brothers, I'm suffering a crisis of faith at the moment. Since the release of TOAW III yesterday, I haven't even looked at WitP! This is inexcusable heresy on my part, and I throw myself on the mercy of the Threadian Inquisition...

Yikes - you do realize how "merciful" the Threadian Inquistion is...

Sigh... i'm afraid there is no forgiveness - you are going to have to sit in the Comfy Chair!!

The Operational Art of War III, released by Matrix, and bought by me, yesterday... Part of the old Talonsoft catalogue, acquired by Matrix recently.
