Old broad who does all her home maintenance (except snowplowing my quarter-mile road). Understand the stress and frustration and fury.
Have decided to stay and fight to my last breath. Have champagne chilling for That Day. Send a prayer to Mrs Karma every day.
Thank you for a superb post!
For all of us -- we stand together. Our superpower.
