This just struck me as hilarious and I wanted to share it
with you. You remember Lady Catherine, Darcy's horrid aunt
and I quote her at the end of a visit to the sick.

"Dr. McFee's diagnosis should be regarded as highly suspect.
I have never approved of protracted dying. It is an affectation in the aristocracy; in the lower classes it is
merely an excuse for avoiding work. The blacksmith's son has
been reputedly dying for the last four years, yet when I drive
past I see him assisting his father with every appearance of
robust health. The de Bourghs have never gone in for prolonged dying. People should make up their minds whether to
live or to die and do one of the other with the least
inconvenience to others." Encouraging not!

It has been sort of a nothing day. We are expecting a wintery
mix but hope it stays away. It is scheduled for midnight which will make it hard on every one who has to work tomorrow.


I have been clipping coupons and have mastered the free thing on a couple of items. I saved 43 dollars last month
couponing which is worth 30 minutes on Sunday going through
the Sunday paper. It is the best I have ever done because
I do not hoard stuff I don't use. I give the overflow to
Ellie.

I really enjoyed jjohn's video. It was fun to picture he
and Donna and the dogs and their life. It seems so happy
and contented.
