    The estimate visit with BiL actually took longer than I said; the guy was here for an add'l hour+, and had a computer to show all the options for different bathroom packages to choose from. After he...

    I remember one Nurse's Week when the agency I worked for gave us all a piece of red construction paper on which they printed and proclaimed their "appreciation for how hard you all work for us." Hope...
