    OMG that is the best answer for daylight savings I ever read! We had a cat when we were first married that shredded our shower curtain just like the picture... Daisy made merry - she also took 300 napkins and spread them all over the dinning room sliding and playing. Out of all or cats she had to be declawed. She shredded EVERYTHING, curtains, furniture, speakers. She lived to be 16.

    Great videos, Chevy! The manequin one was really powerful. Wish I could spell. Oh well...

    Love the kitty pics. Ours just shred furniture. And the daylight savings one - too true!

    Thanks Rosevalley. His Flickr page is at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/grumpysaurus/ I'm not sure where his "for sale" good stuff is these days. But he has some nice shots on Flickr. He loves hearing that people like his work.

    It is heartbreaking to leave this house; really, the location more than the house. Looked at one place today with potential and just learned of another one that's around the corner from where we are now (on the other side of the golf course), so we'll follow up on that tomorrow.

    Wishing everyone a lovely day!

    Here's the info on my wife. She had some bad experiences with forums so she avoids the internet whenever possible.

    My wife, (now age 68) back in Dec of 2012 was diagnosed with Stage 4 ER+ breast cancer. One node and a small spot on the spine. After 3 infusions of AC she was clean except for the 6 cm tumor in her breast. The oncologist said since the cancer was responding well to estrogen blocker (aromasin) it was best to leave it be.

    A little over a year later, Nov 2014 the cancer morphed and went crazy. She had a radical mastectomy and breast removal. A biopsy showed it to be ER+ and the oncologist prescribed tamoxifen. 19 lymph nodes were removed and 9 of the 19 had triple negative Metaplastic keratinized squamous carcinoma. A PET scan done after the surgery showed some cancer still in her armpit, probably spill over from the nodes. She's back on A-C again, no Taxol as she almost died from it earlier. One good point, she had intense pain in her rt armpit for about 10 minutes; maybe it was from the cancer being killed.

    She has two cancers, one ER+ PR+ HER2- and another triple negative.

    Below are some pictures of my art. As you can see by the borders I used to do ornate borders for a few greeting card companies. Somebody else would add the prayer, etc in calligraphy. Because of my wife's struggle with cancer I've returned to art, as it relaxes me. I can't sell any as I'm a combat wounded vet and get disability from the VA.

    The only problem I have with this thread is whether to rush over here every morning or to save them up for a long wonderful laugh.
