At least that's cleared up (I suppose). Although the relevance of a Saturday morning TV show for children remains a puzzle.

Now, what was all the rest about?

Not the worst for cold but, if the third dog is going to be living outside the trailer, he'd better be massive because they do get six foot dumps of snow down there.

Sally James from Tiswas.

Now we're talking. Is Sally the OP?

Woof! What's the bucket for?

The 7 big black guys standing out of camera shot. TV was much more liberal in those days. *sigh*

Frankly, I am none the wiser.

What if these kids change their mind in a few weeks time? Now they want to live in Florida. What then?

Then they part exchange the trailer for a golf buggy

Why not try renting a place near your children then you only have a commitment for a short time and then you'll be able to check out the area without you and your dogs freezing?

That would require a third parent.

But surely, as is advised on here many many times, you have to let your kids go and live their lives. It's selfish to hold them to your teat forever.

I wonder if the grandparents are karmicly (spl?) sniggering into their sherry

She doesn't say how old the children or why they haven't come back home. Surely there must be a custody arrangement. All sounds very fishy to me.

I think Sally would fit.

wasn't there a bucket of water song?

there''s a hole in my bucket dear liza dear liza.....

that one??
