I did what you said,the only glitch was that there was nothing in my recycle bin when I went to empty it. Is that OK. Here is the new log.

It surely was a blast! Nope Di I don't hold the record for CF' meet ups. As of this trip I have net 20 wonderful folk from the CF but I think there are several others who have met more, BUT!!! I do hold one CF record that no one has topped. I am the only one who has cooked dinner for Ann T !! Talk about pressure......but they were the most gracious and easiest of any company I've ever had.

OK, the car story is funny. When I heard Sharon & Clive were driving route 66 in a TBird convertible, I was thinking it was a '57 or perhaps an early 60's model. (my dad was/is a collector, I just assumed theirs would be an older model.) So I thought it would be fun to borrow one of my dad's cars for the day, to fit in with the whole Route 66 thing and park next to theirs. I'm almost to the restaurant, and I call Sharon to ask what year their car is. "2002". LOL!!! I laughed at myself and my incorrect assumption for a good 5 minutes.

I'm in the same boat as you, trying to figure out which water filtration (whole house) to use and can't find experts who I trust. This sees to be kind of new territory and also ripe for scam artists (which you probably already know). I think I'm going with ewswater.com but only thinking about it now. Seems like their advertising/hype is less than aquasana which is the other contender for my dollars - but if that sounds like I'm not being technical enough in my evaluation, you are right. We don't need water softener but I do want to filter the chloramines. Keep us posted what you find out. Sorry I can't help but I understand your dilemma very well.
