I was thinking about using an old pair of steel toed army boots and

refrigarator magnets instead of pennies.

The visual I get of your husband on that bicycle is priceless. LOL. Thanks.

Hope things work out with the taxes girl.

Take care,

Gee, between the two of you, I had a good laugh that I really needed

after this horrible day working on the taxes! And I mistakenly

called one cousin when I meant to call his brother!! Then I called

another cousin and when he asked how I was I said " oh, I, think I

have fibro fog! " Well, since he doesn't know much if anything about

fibro, I had to explain to him that people who have fibromyalgia can

have memory problems that are called " fibro fog " .

Then I asked my husband if he would please open some mail that I

thought he needed to open --- well, that was a nice start to the

weekend, he is still getting collection notices for a trip to the

hospital that was a workmen's comp claim. He started ranting about

that, I (being a former collector -- yes, I have a very checkered

past!) took the paper away from him, called the company, told them to

stop sending letters, not to make any phone calls and that it was not

his bill but was a work comp accident.

But, Debra, that question to about duct taping shoes is still

cracking me up!! Only because my idiot ex-husband never wore any

shoe except one particular style shoe from one company! Not only

that but when they became so worn that he could no longer have a new

sole put on them so he could continue to wear them to work; they

became his work shoes!! And he would resort to duct tape to keep the

sole from falling off --- now try to picture this, a skinny nerdie

balding, corporate manager riding an old, old delivery bicycle (this

really had the baskets -- one deep one on the front and one on each

side of the back!!!) on weekends and holidays while we were living in

the first building to rehab --- 3 years later he was still doing

nonsense jobs, so I threatened divorce! His solution was to buy

another building --- but he would work on that evenings and weekings -

- it was six blocks away from the first building. Oh, and I forgot,

he did have a worn out old jean jacket that probably had some duct

tape on it!! Now, what really irked moi, was that all of our close

neighbors were lead to believe that I wore HIS paycheck on MY back!!!

Yes, even the cab drivers didn't want to take me to that neighborhood

and they had only stopped because they thought I was going to one of

the lovely old apartment buildings on Lake Shore Drive that

overlooked Lake Michigan!! I really had a difficult time explaining

to one of them one night that I was in fact, half owner of a

greystone in the Humboldt Park area and if he would wait until he had

watched me unlock the outer door and enter the foyer, his tip would

be worth the trip. I understood their problem -- I would not have

wanted to take a passenger to the police precint that had the highest

gang crime rates in the country at that time!

But, I am here to tell the story of those years --- and that also

explains why, when I went to the family practice center and the

nurses would load me up with samples, I finally started taking a

brown paper bag for fear someone would mug me as I walked the 4

blocks home!!!

Debra, I will see if I can find who/where that study was done.
