. net... "Not Likely" notinthislifetime@yougottabejoking wrote in message ... I will check our local library first to see if the have it. If they haven't won't they get it for you? They will here. If the library here in town doesn't have it, they check their system to see if another library has it to lend to them. When the book is not being borrowed by someone else, whatever library that does have it on their shelves will send it on to our library and they will then give me a call saying it's in. Most times they borrow from another library in the same county... but on occasion they have to go even farther away to find a particular book. Pretty neat system. ) It won't break the bank. Do without biscuits for a while - better for you anyway :-) Oh doing without biscuits isn't what concerns me... I have done without much more than that before. My main concern is that we are able to keep up with our regular bills... once that is done, I will happily do without some food to get something I would really like to have. -- Actually, come to think of it... I have to work out whether I have enough money to get my son something for his birthday next Tuesday. He's a good kid (he would NOT be pleased with me calling him that of course... he will be 26) who does without so often, so one special thing on his birthday would be nice. Of course he has already said he would rather that we could go pick up my cousin Linda (who has terminal cancer) and her son Liam, if Linda is feeling up to travelling. According to Liam (who was chatting online with Matthew yesterday) Linda is feeling better and has more good days now that her medication has been adjusted, "but she still does have some days when she feels like a dogs dinner". So we'll have to see how it goes *if* we can afford the gas to get there at all. I really hope we can at least go visit them for a couple of days at least, as we just have no idea at all how much longer Linda will still be with us. ( Anyway, Matthew is hoping to have a small barbeque gathering with only 3 or 4 friends. We will be pricing a couple of food items tomorrow (when the money is in), and if we can manage he is hoping to do either his barbequed chicken dinner *or* his Hawaiian Shishkabab. If we can't afford either of those... hamburgers and hotdogs it is. It will be a very casual gathering of his close friends (who know Matthew's lack of work situation), so he's already told them it's a BYOB (bring your own booze) party *if* they want to drink.... but considering that they will be coming from outside of town (his best friend can stay the night, but we have no room for more... especially if my cousin and her son can come too), they may choose not to drink. They are also going to be bringing along salads to go with the main meal, and chips for snacks later on while sitting around a campfire in the back yard. I think they are also bringing bathing suits to have a dip in the pool too... as Matthew has already established "Pool Rules" with them. *hugs* Gem |
