102. I was begining to wonder if DU had gone down some wormhole of infinite

fratricide, complaining and bickering.

And seeing this thread glad to see that is not the case.

Not alone, mrs grantcart travels with me all of the time and we laugh and giggle like junior high kids most of the time.

Warm wishes for those that are alone.
