Love the bottom where it says great kitchens start with great cookware. Every time I see one of these stupid directions I think of Hitchickers Guide to the Galaxy and the inside out insane asylum. You know where the guy decides after reading instructions on a box of toothpicks that the rest of the world is insane so he builds his house inside out and locks the world in the insane asylum. Ahh, if only we could ;-) I was paiting the wood for my molding this morning and CA has made every piece of pine molding (even the pith blocks) to individually be labled "wood dust created by construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of CA to cause cancer. Avoid inhaling wood dust." Thanks CA because I really enjoyed the feel of pine dust in my lungs up until I read that your state and only your state discourages the breathing in of wood dust. Good thing MD doesn't give a crap about my health. Too bad we all have to pay extra for all your warning labels on everything - every made - everywhere - because of CA and their extra warning for stupid people who like to do stupid things and have no common sense.

Jo, how true is that!!! after seeing this pic, I was talking about this with my parents. They said, they feel very fresh and energetic after a walk in the garden now and also back in village. You know my dad never been to hospital or taken any medicine so far! Their secret is not to worry about any thing just take it easy, laugh like a kids, enjoy gardening, mom said healthy looking plants makes her more happier and healthier. Garden is biggest stress reliever for me! -Chandra

Just an update: our contractor arranged for a KA certified repairman to come today. As you all suspected, it was a clogged drain line. The repair guy said it was better to remove the gasket rather than notch it - he said it's a tight space and is near the compressor, so it tends to get plugged up from the heat and pressure. He said he's done this at least 100 times, on all models of bottom freezer refrigerators. My contractor was very anxious to confirm it wasn't his fault. This all began after they installed the water line, so I was afraid there had been some mistake. It probably wasn't totally unrelated, since they kept the fridge in the kitchen throughout the demo but unplugged it repeatedly to move itmultiple times, frame it, and also to do a heavy up at the outset of the project. But it wasn't their error, clearly. This being a high cost area, I paid $145 for the fix, but truthfully I'm glad it wasn't more! (not long ago a clogged washer drain wound up costing $1k just for the plumber - I'm pretty sure we were fleeced on that one!) Thanks so much to all of you for pointing me in the right direction!

I would love to walk the dog- but I am kind of small and have arthritis and the dog jumps on me and knocks me over when I do pet her- I am sure she would get away. And nobody walks her. I think she gets the minimum- petted when fed. The put the pen in a place it is "intruding"for me to visit her- but i do send treats and bones over as much as I can. I don't know them very well-but I will continue to make offers of finding a good foster home. My husband told me I am obsessed with feeling bad which I am- he said I did the best I can.
