Q My husband's ex just emailed him (he is away, in the war) asking him to identify videos he wants and she will pay to have them made into a new DVD. The videos were taken when the kids were under the ages of 6 and 8 - they are now 16 and 18 - and this was to be his birthday present. I think it is odd for the ex to orchestrate the creation of a video of old family movies that will clearly include all of them. Four years ago at his birthday, she created a scrapbook with old pictures of the boys and him.

I'd stretch my legs with exhaustion after spending the entire weekend weeding, mulching, planting and creating precise, neatly edged flower beds.
