We could buy and remodel the house because my wife is wealthier than I am. But we had to sell the family home of my wife. Cheers, T. No, Gordon, that is in US dollars.

I hope that is at least in Euros! How do you afford things like building (or remodeling) your complete home? I make close to $80k US and I can't afford to do something like that.

Perhaps this is another reason why females have recently been welcomed with opened arms to fill a void in the field as the interests of men have wandered elsewhere. Taken out of context, here, Old Willie writes for Hamlet, "What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?" Jeepers Creepers,

I have a new admiration for you poor blokes.

(Ok ok Jacques, I'll pay it anyhow, but just for fun!) Besides, I think it IS possible that he grosses less than 100,000. My gross salary is 30,000 by comparison :( Cheers, T.
