 Dear JABBERS:
I have two friends who recently found out they are moving. In both cases, the moves were sudden and the time for adjustment small. When I moved to Florida, I had the same experience, but at the time, I knew no one and finding people to guide me was a herculean task. As one of my relocating friends said, you only need one person. That's how we operate here. It takes one person to ask, and many JABBERS to answer. If I had JAB, I would have been spared Ernest, who put my Christmas lights up with masking tape--no joke. (My neighbors are still laughing.) Or the decorator who told me that I needed to light the underside of my bar area in my kitchen. All the better to highlight scruff marks of small boys! Our goal: Let you spend more time with the princes and less with the frogs.
Happy JABBING!
