Oh My: DJM you are THE most dedicated of them all "Let's just stop at the PO on our way to the hospital...." Only a true Garden Webber would utter such words. I hope all is well. A thrombosis in no laughing matter; note the attention long distance flying is getting recently. You all move your toes and legs, exercise your muscles while sitting on those long flights or you'll be at risk. Djm if the trips to the lab daily are difficult ask your doctor to make a referral to Visiting Nurse, assuming you have that, usually every county has a VNS/ Public Health Nurse service. They will come to you, grab your blood, get it to the lab, and talk with the doctor about dosages. Could be a big time/energy saver for you. Just a thought. Hope you stay well! Poochella

Brittneysgran, someone needs to put you out of your misery. LOL I guess it was only fair, though, since you were the first to declare that you had figured it out. I got a kick out of seeing you at least momentarily baffled. Who was your Pal? Was it A. MudPlayingFamilysMom in SC? B. Dianna? C. MudPlayingMomsFamily? The correct answer is: All of the above! MudPlayingFamilysMom IS Dianna. Yes, I packed and mailed your box. Boxes sent by me are often easily recognizable by the (um, let's just call it creative) packaging methods I use which enable me to pack a heck-of-a-lot-of-stuff into a single container and yet have extremely fragile items and even potted plants arrive safely. To say it bluntly, I probably send the ugliest packages of anyone. ;o) Part two of the answer is that your Valentine gifts weren't chosen by me alone. The kids get into the act of shopping, choosing gifts, sometimes making something, & sharing. We had a blast making packages for people this year. So, it was from Mud..Mom's Family, as well! Shirley, I hope that you enjoy the contents for years to come and look forward to the day that we hear that those hoyas have intertwined. Won't that be so cool?! My screen name is so loooong to type. Just call me Mud...Mom or Dianna.

I might use it as a pot and pan storage, but most of those old stoves still use a pilot light (wastes gas, adds heat) and don't have very high BTU burners. That wouldn't be what I'd choose to cook on daily. But, I cook a lot, and do some challenging dishes. Most of your medium to upper end consumer grade ranges will out perform them. Not to mention the pro grade ranges severely out performing them. If you enjoy cooking, explore what a modern range offers before deciding to keep that one in a cooking capacity. No way would I ever jettison it out of my life with that history, but it might make a better plant stand than it would a cooking stove in your home.

Amy, that is just about the coolest thing since sliced bread! I'd thought of a few things you might do with Sheila, but a key keeper wasn't one of them. What a great idea! I hope you two are very happy together for years to come and I love her eyelashes and her hair bow!
