They live in Sweden. The government paid for her schooling to learn the language and a vocation. They also help pay for their child care so she could go to school. I think she's now working a a dental technician. The Swedish government is mostly interested in creating good Swedish citizens. That's some long range thinking right there. America always plays the short game. That's the breaks. |

I had not had it since I was a kid and tended to avoided it after a visit to my great uncle's farm and helping him slop the pigs. It turned out to me so much better than I expected. |

When we first moved here the patio was at the behind the house and close to the road allowance. There were no trees or bushes there so it was pretty well exposed to the neighbour and to the road. One weekend I went out and bought enough lumber and posts to put up a couple sections of fence for privacy. I go an early start and was finished about noon. I went inside for lunch just in time to answer the phone. It was the neighbour " Hi Dave. I see you have put up a fence." Son of a gun that she not only saw the fence but just happened to call as I went inside. She had probably been spying on me. I figured that the fence had just paid for itself. A few years later she started whining about my septic system. She aid that it was leaking and flooding into her back yard. Curiously, her house is much higher than mine and has a fair slope down to the stream that runs across the property in between and then through my back yard. In her world, my sewage was running 150 yards up stream and then uphill into her back yard. I was telling one of the other neighbours about this and he told me that she didn't have a septic bed. Apparently they had a septic tank that drained into a big pit of gravel. A few years after that she put her house up for sale. The purchaser planned to tear it down and build a big house way at the back of the property. Their plans were turned down by the town, even though they had started to gut it..... like. well you have to let us do this because the house has already been gutted. That left them having to refinish the interior and they had to put in a septic bed. |
