Dorothy, I'm so glad you're there to help your friend and you were there to help the young man from 30 years ago. This most recent event sounds horrible, yet clearly the daughter and niece kept their heads about them and prevented further bloodshed.

You use magnesium citrate for leg cramps? It is a powerful laxative in the 10 oz bottle - it's what they have you take overnight before abdominal surgery. Do you take a pill or small amount of the liquid?

Michelle, there have been similar brief sightings of table and countertops here. But then I started to do some canning. . . you know how that looks. Huge pots, cases of jars, lids, boxes of stuff, and accouterments of the job (funnel, gripper thing for taking jars from hot water, saucers for this and that). At least I got all sticky things into the sink and then washed, before I headed out to help a friend prune some shrubs around her pool. Her grandson hasn't been over to do the trimming and mowing, but at least the shrubs are looking good.
