What a beautiful little Princess you have, RR, and of course she needs glitter. And jewels and flowers and other fluffy stuff! The eggs are pretty, but nowhere as pretty as your Princess is, she's getting so darned big. My own Princess and her Bruvver will be hunting Easter Eggs at the local nursing home tomorrow, the residents just love to see the kids, so I'll get my camera packed right now so I don't forget it. So Maggie may have a Bruvver? What fun, and twice as many to spoil! Congrats to you and DD. And to Maggie, of course, being a big sister is IMPORTANT! Annie

I checked and replaced the filter. But now if I turn on the air conditioner and then turn it off, the outside unit continues running, it should not be. (Is this a contactor problem?) Thank you very much for your help. Yes it 'could' be a contactor problem, but it could also be some other problem that causes this action. You've already guessed a few times and are no closer to fixing this. It may be something as simple as replacing a contactor. But this part is an important part that controls your AC. It would be better to call a licensed HVAC contractor to solve this problem and possibly identify another problem with the upstairs zone control. Zone controls are more complex, really not intended to be home owner serviced. It sounds to me like you have more than 1 problem with your zoned AC system. I service the Katy, Texas area.

Nasty! Glad I watched it though not surprised. Yes, we're germaphobes but better careful than not. My DH, DD and I went recently to High Point, NC for her soccer tournament. Stayed at a very nice Radisson. In our room, we found pubic hair on our sheets the first night and when we returned from the tournament the 2nd day around 4 pm, we found a condom (unused) in our bathroom sitting on the counter. Definitely not ours! Who the heck knows what went on in our room while we were gone. When we told the manager, he smiled and said, "Oh well, come with me...", took us downstairs and proceeded to credit our card $45 dollars for the trouble! Why $45? Did he think we needed the money? We weren't trying to get a discount! He didn't seem surprised. At another hotel last year, our comforter had a small, silver-dollar sized, almost unnoticeable fresh blood stain on it. Almost missed it because of the flower print on the comforter. It was still wet! I make it a point to inspect the room prior to use. This is how I find these things. Yes, I'm sure there's a lot of junk out there on a daily basis that we are exposed to, but if I can avoid some of them then that's better for me and my family. Just because these things are out there or, because as kids we did worse things than this, doesn't mean I have to let my guard down. Also, on airplanes. I had a couple of flight attendants as patients once. They filled me in on all kinds of stuff. From the blankets to the food. The blankets are used by some very dirty travelers who wrap themselves up in them from head to dirty, smelly, shoeless feet. She said they just re-fold the blankets and set them out again. I think the airlines may be doing things differently now. Someone can set me straight if this has changed.

Congratulations to both of you on this hard-won and worthwhile achievement. As for not just tooting the horn but bringing in the whole band to celebrate ... ... now, with the healthier lungs, you'll be better able to get into that band. But ... would you find it not helpful to go out on a toot, to celebrate? That kind would be O.K., I guess. ole joyful
