To all you procrastinators, tomorrow is the day you need to at least file your tax return. You can file and not pay you know, but if you don't want trouble, you do need to file at least an extension. And for those who didn't get what Tom Whitney had sent around, here it is. I've had several requests for it http://www.whitneysoftware.com/xLCC1960/eMail.php

As for my situation, for some damn reason this radiation recall has decided to raise it's ugly head. It makes that radiated area look like I have a very bad sun burn and it swells up about twice the size of normal. As long as I take the pain pills I don't feel it so much, I just don't want those damn doctors to see it and send me back to the hospital. That's where they make the big bucks you know. If I'm lucky, I will start my second day of the chemo and then I should only have one more round before I have surgery. My blood count has to be high enough tomorrow and if so they will give both infusions of chemo. I don't like how that makes me feel, but I want to get this %$#^^%$ over with so I can have surgery and maybe be better for a while.

I don't know about any where else in the country, but it is starting out to be a beautiful day. We and the neighbors are going to have a garage sale on or around the 30th. They have one about every other year or so. With all the kids they have, it's usually well attended because everyone loves to get small kids clothes at a discount. Now if we can convince Brian that Sammy is not going to stay the same size the rest of her life, maybe we can get ride of 10 or so boxes of old clothes. To say nothing of an entire garage he brought with him when he moved in. We also have a refrigerator, a lawn mower , and more junk than ten households should have. My job it seems is to price it all. Being the tight wad that I am, I start everything as high as I think it can go, and then love to haggle. My two favorite shows on TV are Pawn Stars and American Pickers. I just wish I had all those experts that I could call on. I just know I sold the best antique for way to little money. Even when I know I got a good price, I always wonder if I could have held out for more. I'm a friggin mess after it all over. The only good way to do it is, I price everything, and then leave, and don't look again until after it is all cleaned up, and Sharon lies about how much we made.

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. Oh by the way, David, my baby brother was let go yesterday from his construction job. He lives in Elida and is a Plumber, Electrician, finished carpenter, can lay wood floors and tile. He is not the fastest person in the world, but did one hell of a job on my $80,000.00 rehab of my basement that had to be torn down to the studs because of mold. If you need him give me an email. I'll give him your number. Tom. P.S. Margo, he loves you, but doesn't want to have to go to Cincinnati if he doesn't have to.
