Mac, I may be a bit absent minded, but I'm even more naive. I'm sure you

Having been there, and repeating it with a month long visit from a stepson that
we call the "vampire", the only thing that ever worked for me were threats of no
"fill-in-the-blanks" for the rest of his life unless he dragged his butt up..

There were, however, several times that it was probably lucky that I didn't have
a pail of water handy..
