Just a note for consideration- I was talking with my mother yesterday ( a
womwn who thinks animals are filthy creatures who should be kept outside,
and keeps her house like a guest room), and I was whining about my lack of
space in my own house, and having to walk dogs early in the COLD morning-
we have 4 ferts and 2 dogs in an apartment.- and she thought she was being
snotty when she said "I guess you have to get your priorities straight."
That made me think, so now when I get tired of cleaning and the laundry
and the carpet cleaning and the grooming , etc, I am very happy that those
are my priorities.  I've also stopped whining.
