   ALLOW!?!?!?!?!?!?
   Makes me think of a story/joke...
   The kid that used to PRAY every day and night for a bicycle, and when he asked the family preacher why his prayers were never answered, his reply was, that god did not work that way....
   So he STOLE a bike, then prayed for forgiveness...........

    ALLOW works the same way.. Always work hard to meet her half way, and you will have a blissful marriage.. Then when the day comes that you just CANT, then remember, she will eventually get over it!     :yes:







   K, so you might have to pray, and beg a little during the getting over it stage..........   I have found thats not always so bad!  :laugh:

HA! In my case I am the beekeeper, it's MY kitchen and MY Diningroom, and I clean it! so I can do whatever I want on that farm table. Next week I might be making a quilt on that same farm table, or dressing ole dead uncle Walter on that farm table (no not really, ugh). That's what I bought it for, we don't eat on the farm table, Oh No! Jen's got to many projects lined up for that table  :D 8)

I put out an APB to find the top surface of my work benches. had a rainy day so I worked on that. after 3 hours I could see some of the actual surface & the clutter is down to inches not feet. I should clarify that I'm moving stuff out of a storage unit, rearranging an attached garage,  building an attached shed at the rear of my shop, starting a bathroom remodel on the 25th, getting woodenware ready to deal with the approaching swarm season, managing 13 hives in 2 yards, have been hired to tend 4 hives for someone else, & I'm managing 15 nucs. chaos reigns.

Jen,

I fell so much better. My house looks like D-8 ran through it during bee season. There's always something more fun to do outside!
