There we all are.  Everyone's lost a lot of weight.  Hell, with the weight we've lost, we could have had a 5th family member!  But wait, we DO have a 5th family member!  Barney! 

Far FAR too much water has tried to invade the basement of the Smith house a couple time.  Once when I was still living at home and once just now in the spring of '00.  Both times, Barney has risen to the occasion and stemmed the flow of water from the sewer system!  Heroically stuffing his butt in the toilet, his cheap styrofoam guts old the water back!  :)  I think he was won at the Red River Valley Fair years ago by my dad for my sister.  Well, after this spring's action, he was washed up again, given a purple heart and retired from active duty by a new and improved toilet plug that was actually designed for the job.  Barney won't have to face action of THIS kind again.
