I'm not sure if it would be worth it.  Tongue

Oh, it would definitely be worth it!  Besides you guys like to feel useful, don't you?

Good luck, Anissa.

I think we've hijacked Anissa's thread long enough, but I'll stop after this one last funny (semi-related to hijack) story...

A buddy of mine told me that he was in "hot water" with his wife.  When I asked why, he said that the night before, his wife had asked him the dreaded "do these jeans make me my butt look big?" question..  He was in a particularly surly mood, so his response was "No, those jeans don't make your butt look big... you butt makes your butt look big".  Needless to say, he was in the doghouse for several days after that comment.

Ok, back on topic folks!

Anissa, how'd the blasting go?

Regards,
Brian

(still laughing at Brian's story but maybe because of the pain meds  :D)

The blasting went just fine, as well as can be expected.  I should be back to my sassy self by tomorrow :)  Thank you all for your thoughts and I've been loving the banter.  Laughter truly is the best medicine.

See, it wasn't REALLY a hijack... we were doing it on purpose to cheer Anissa up!   :D

Brian, James wouldn't have had to worry about being IN the doghouse after a comment like that...he would need to worry about being UNDER the doghouse.   :P

Anissa, glad it went well and I hope this takes care of the stones once and for all for you.

Anissa,  Glad you're doing better.  If laughter truly is the best medicine then here's a dose.  Saw a bumper sticker that said, "Can You Fix My Husband?"  He says he's broke!  Jill
