Wow! What an idea. Does it come in silver? About how long would my 60 mile r/t daily commute take?

Gas is $3.19 - $3.69 per gallon in my area. I am surrounded by oil refineries owned by all of the major suppliers and we tend to have some of the highest prices in the country.

Oh my Old Fart, I have truly missed your adventures! Your posts are such a joy to read. I am sure glad that you are back. I am anxious to hear how the curtains turned out.

My best wishes to your decorator. That's one brave woman.

Welcome back.

My most sincere wishes for everyone to have a safe, happy and healthy holiday and a terrific new year. May 2008 bring you all that you wish for.

Wow, if they really have nothing to do, maybe they can drive the 400 miles north to my house. I'll make 'em some lunch too!

Yanita,

Thank you for the update. I, for one, certainly miss reading Maureen's posts. She is a real highlight on the site. Please give her my best wishes and sincere hope for a happy, healthy holiday season.

Thank you for the link Wes (and Greg for sharing the name of the product). I wasn't able to find a supplier in my area to purchase it. I found one about 70 miles away, but he won't return my calls. I will just order some from this link.

Thank you again!

I have thought about Maureen many times over the last several weeks. I certainly miss reading her posts. Has anyone had an update? If so, please share if you can.

In another post you mentioned that you always use "Husky 400" for odors. Where do you get this product? I have a neighbor that has an awful problem leftover from previous owners with untrained pets.

Thanks for any information.

Since I have one family member that won't touch anything that previously wore feathers, we will be having both ham and turkey. It makes for great leftovers throughout the weekend! A little variety to liven things up.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Just wondering if there is any news about Maureen. I know she said she was having some difficulty with a recurrence of MS, but I haven't seen any postings from her in quite awhile. Has anyone had any news?

Jim's link didn't work for me either, so I tried this:

and all was fine.

Shell, The "Kilzing" (or any good primer) is absolutely a MUST. Prep is the key to making the paint adhere and stay nice. If you decide to paint your existing doors, clean them really well with TSP or other degreaser type cleaner, rinse thoroughly. Sand the surface lightly to give the prim...

I think the chat room idea is terrific. It has my vote.

I too saw the Design Star episode. Good ideas (unfortunately not to my taste) and helped dispell the trailer stereotype. I have done several things in my home much like I did in my previous stick built home and with good results. I think we should all send letters (e-mails) to HGTV suggesting that t...

It's been pretty toasty in Wine Country also. High 90's to low 100's for several days with really low humidity. Today is a little cooler and will hopefully stay that way. Was way too warm for me. My swamp cooler was able to keep my DW at a nice 73 inside though.
