DR Elmore: What Jane Austin Book are you reading?
I wasn't quite sure if you were pulling my leg or not, DR Ron Pulliam - but I guess you were not! Thank you!!

Actually, it's not the seal that bothers me all that much, but the companies that use an adhesive that doesn't come off. It makes it well nigh impossible to remove the seal to begin with, and even if you do, it leaves a sticky residue on the case that never does come off, and sticks to everything around it. Grrrrr! "Goo Gone" will take it right off. Of course, there is an argument about it not being environmentally friendly, but it works. Peanut butter works, too. Just smear it on and leave for about 24 hours, then wash & rinse.

Regarding yesterday's discussion of dressing up...part of my outlook probably has to do with Oregon, particularly Portland, and the way people here "dress-up"...for men, anyhow, it tends to be dressy-casual. Meaning, khakis can substitute for slacks, and polo shirts can substitute for dress/sport shirts. And jackets go with anything. Nice khaki shorts with sandals are common men's wear at matinees during the summer, though maybe not so much for an evening performance.These are just my observations, mind you, of what I see when attending the few ballets, Broadway shows, and other theatrical events in Salem/Portland. I imagine Ashland is much the same. The rest of the state's populous, however, only attend rodeos and tractor pulls, so their way of dressing may vary.
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
...... You know... because we can't get enough of that distaster.
Well my hubby (Jerry) and I finally decided on the paint for our kitchen. It is Benjamin Moore, Segovia Red. It is a beautifull brownish red. Very elegant and stylish looking.It is very expensive, in an eggshell finish. But it is worth it to buy the best paint. It wears so well.I can't wait to get it done.
Good quality pain is well worth the extra money in the long run.
