    Congradulations on the unexpected funds! Makes up for a lot of poo for sure! I really have no use for people who do not pick up after their dogs! Kids will play with anything nasty and the inconsiderate dog owners are just giving them ammunition.

    How awful. Dh always says - one boy, one brain, two boys, half a brain, three boys, no brain. I'm sorry you had to deal with this meanness. But what a nice surprise! Hope you have fun with it!

    I'd use a bit of that bonus check for a professional carwash!

    First off, thats terrible what those boys did. What is the matter with people. Now...for the good stuff, not sure how 300GB is in US dollars but I say for sure...a trip to your favorite quilt shop is certainly in order. Enjoy that, you deserve it.!!

    Oh, Marriner's Compass for sure. I want to make that one so darn bad and I just don't feel I am ready for it and if you are, holy cats, go for it! Not a tough decision at all. Edie

    Thank Goodness this is the form of "entertainment and destruction" they chose to do. You and your dogs were unharmed. Yes, there are some sick people in this world --- and some people who don't have anything to do.... like work.

    Have a blast shopping. And I'm so sorry you were the unfortunate victim in the kids prank.
