I'd like to do that myself but life is so crazy now I don't have the
time to even plan out where to put it. Today I worked around here for
an hour and sat down at the keyboard for a few and then back to
chores. I did that the whole day except for making dinner. Sooner or
later I'll catch up.

This drawer thing is a new issue here and I do need to address it.

That's the same crap my lady wants to use. Whatever she wants to use
is fine with me but I can't watch her using a steak knife to cut a
tomato without laughing so I don't watch.

That would never happen here. She asks me to do it.

Mine scares me when she drives. She grew up on the south side of
Chicago and drives like a cabbie.
