"positives and negatives"

My first thought: bees sting! catfish don't!

I enjoy paddling in the shallow waters of my mind.....

Nanci, glad your friend is getting out of hospital. I have to find that Basement Jaxx video now. Hopefully it's on iTunes somewhere.

I get mad hearing about people from N.O. who are selling their property for pennies because they can't fix it, and a developer offers them a tiny bit of money then will make a huge profit "rebuilding" and reselling. I know that's the miracle of capitalism, but it just seems so incredibly unfair. And how can you get N.O. back when the original people have left and richer new people from out of the area are going to be the only ones able to afford the new houses/redevelopment?
