Thank you so much! And I have to tell you, I think doing this with 9 dogs
(or even 4.5 if you had help) would have done me in. lol I will give both
of those a try. He's mostly not smelly now. (and SO happy we will pet him
again.) But outside......oh my!!
On another note..... My dad was talking about family history things not
long ago. His paternal grandfather was quite a character. He was telling
several stories from when he was a boy and would visit the farm. I knew at
one point my great-grandpa had done some homesteading but not where. So I
was asking Dad about that. What I did not know is that Borax is called 20
mule team Borax because they actually did use mule teams, of 20 to haul the
stuff (my brain refuses to remember what it is in Borax..... but
anyway...Stuff) from the mines. And my great-grandfather was one of the
mule team drivers for Borax way back when. I thought that was pretty
nifty. :)

I know it's cruel, but I did have to giggle at the saga and the replies.
I am VERY sympathetic, really I am, but I also have to thank you for
lifting my spirits with your wonderfully told exploits. Fibro sucks,
but a giggle is always good.
I had a couple of just sewing days planned too, but could barely lift
myself off the sofa.

Kate, I'm so sorry the fibro is kicking up. You think from the stress of
being go go GO with the Ziggy Tents and all? I know a friend of mine says
her fibro kicks up Hard after she's had a stressful time, just as soon as
she relaxes from the ordeal, bam. :(
I'm glad we could make you giggle a bit. That's always a good thing. And
I'm always willing to do most anything for a pal..... LOL I'm chuckling
over it all now too mostly. But I'm sure not in a hurry to do it all again.
HA!!

I'm afraid it won't go away until my fertility does, and although I'm not as
young as I used to be, there may still be some 10 years to go at least. I
mean, I'm rather content, now that it's over; I've had six week without, so
there are good times too.
But why I'm combining this with your reply to Kate (BTW, I'm really sorry to
hear you've been so unwell, wanted to mail you privately, but didn't get
round to it, you know, avalanche of housework.) is that it seems to follow
the pattern you described: A stressful time goes by without any complaint
but then, right after the stress is gone, there is a major breakdown.

Nah, second time wouldn't be funny, just stupid. <RDLOL>
U. - OK, you just earned the right to describe skunk smell to me. ;-)

I'm not so sure the two are connected. I tend to have flares when the
weather changes, or just because... When I feel well, I fit in as much
as I can so that when the fibro hits hard, I should be able to relax.
Doesn't always work out, but hey! We all get to dream!
