Guess we'll just have to wait to find out, George, although the reply button is very small under the posts and the quick reply box has to be opened by clicking on the plus sign or "quick reply" - are you not seeing that at all?

And on that note (C#), I must be leaving.  I need to go to the Washington Center for the Performing Arts main stage because tonight is their Volunteer Appreciation dinner!  I will be late to rehearsal (with permission).  Since "Cinder Edna" rehearsal is on the Stage II in the same building, I won't have far to go.

Be back later!

BK, I see none of that.  Feel free to log in with my info and see what you can see.  I'll try again when I get home tonight. 

Except for that "little" issue, so far it all looks pretty good. :)

I refused to even consider a stainless steel sink when I redid my counters.

When I finally get new appliances, I expect I will go with the stainless finish, since I have a small kitchen and black would make it too dark. I want to get a fridge and dishwasher at the same time by the same manufacturer so the finishes will match, since they are side-by-side.

But by then, something else will be in style. Or actually, something else will be in style two months after I buy the stainless.

Think either Harvest Yellow or Avocado Green.  Avoid them and you should be all right.

;D 

I think Harvet Yellow is making a come-back.

You mean my ugly countertops will be in style again?  Just as I'm seriously considering replacing them...

I almost had a fall last night.  I woke up with sharp shooting pains in my left ankle.  It was strange, except for the shooting pains it didn't hurt.  I could easily turn or stretch my ankle and walking on it made it feel better.  Walking is how I almost went down.  Once I walked and it stopped hurting I just about fell asleep standing up and am sure that would have dropped me down to the floor ;D

We think we know what's happened - there are no board permissions currently on, so he's said to hold tight, and he'll just make sure that's what's happened and adjust it (probably tomorrow) - but for now, things are fine and once that's fixed it should be good to go.

I'm thinking there are probably some things I could have been doing to better customize this board for myself.  Have to make sure I take the time to learn the new one even better.

I just watched the ever-lovable HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, and am thinking about moving on to TOO LATE BLUES.

The power of suggestion works on me all too well.

DR MBarnum I used to use the treadmill facing Bi-Mart and the beautiful Siskiyous.  While not at pretty on this side the room is quieter & the sun doesn't shine in my eyes.

AND the WalMart in Greencastle had my red microwave....so the kitchen is getting there....  Still trying to decide between stainless steel and black appliances...



Very nice, DR JRand!  As for the black or stainless steel appliances - either one will show EVERY spot...

DR GINNY you are assuming I have spots in my kitchen.

Doesn't everyone?  We had a stainless steel sink in our previous house and the water spots drove me crazy!

I had that problem too until I figured out you could  cover them up with a thin layer of dirty dishes   ;D

Urgent Communique from the year 2113:

The National Congress of University-level Departments of Entymology has declared that another insect species has become extinct.  Coleoptera, more commonly referred to as the May beetle or June bug, has been on the endangered list the past 70 years. 

"The demise of this species", according to Dr. Ludovico Taylor of the University of Texas, "is primarily due to two factors:  First, there is the irrefutable impact of the change in the weather patterns that have afflicted many plants, insects and animals throughout the world.

"Second, there is the matter of human termination of the lifespan of these insects.  June bugs, or May beetles, were always inclined toward omnisocial behavior.  In other words, they did not avoid other life forms, probably because they had no natural predators to speak of except for man."

"Many children, throughout history, have thrilled to tying string or pieces of thread to the legs of June bugs.  The bugs would fly around and around.  Inevitably, they would escape by exerting enough resistance to tearing off the leg to which the string was attached.  This was never a detriment to their reproductive abilities.  However, as society became more insular, with controlled living environment constantly shutting out nature, any June bugs entering homes were more than likely destroyed.

"Since the advent of time travel, entymologists have been studying the declining populations of coleoptera to determine if there was a major event in which the decline began its downward spiral.

"One such event occured during the morning hours of May 20, 2013, in Studio City, California.  A particularly vibrant mating pair had entered a home through a vent from outside the home.  During that night, one of the pair was killed by an irritated occupant of the home who, apparently, was unable to sleep.

"While it has not been established whether altering events in the past should be permitted, the National Congress is considering assembling a team to revisit May 20, 2013, in Studio City to prevent the June bugs (aka "May beetles") from entering the home.  If they fail, there may be a failsafe initiated to avoid the killing of one of the mating pair."

Oklahoma news is so sad....

We got the tail end of the winds very early this morning......no power from 3:15 a.m. until nearly 8 a.m......but NOTHING to complain about!

Not too long of a power outage unless you are a person who needs coffee first thing in the morning ;)

Jack I know what you mean   during Sandy I was at first upset that we had no power for 5 days  and then I went  to the south shore and saw the devastation and I was thankful I only lost power for 5 days

I hate waiting for people. I've been waiting an hour for a return phone call from New Wold Records. Can't go this way, can't go that way.

try going to the bathroom - or stand on a stepstool and change a ceiling light bulb   don't worry the phone WILL  immediately ring
