I always swore that my second husband had it and was able to
lie and manipulate his way through life with it. He is deceased and I should probably not diss him but I will because there is one thing that I will never forgive him. He did not leave his only child one thing at his death and
guess who his step mother will leave the money to. Her children, of course. Both of my children's fathers have
taken this route and they get nothing that they do not get from me. Everything I own is in a living trust for my son and daughter. If you are in the same situation, I urge you
to take care of your children. It is more hurtful than you know when not one memento is left to them.

The squirrels have demonstrated a bit of cunning that has backfired. I put out sun flower seeds for the birds and for them and left a coffee can full of sunflower seeds on the porch. The little rascals took the lid off of it and
wastefully scattered it. Just like greedy people who can
never get enough. I removed the can and now they are dependent on the amount I give them.

Rex has manipulated us into letting him sleep with us. He
went about it in a most cunning way, only trying it on during storms. Soon, since I am the most lenient person in
the family, he crept into bed when I was reading there.
Now, he claims it as his rightful spot.

So be it.
