Hi Lambchop, I just googgled internal shakiness today, because I have been plagued with it for the last 12+ months, I also have the left arm pain, fluttering, and all the other symptoms you have experienced. It is DEFINITELY MENOPAUSE RELATED. At first, I was scared to death, because so many of the symptoms are the same as those related to 'heart attack' or 'stroke', so I agree you should rule that out with your Doctor, as I did...but alas, there are over 34 specific symptoms related to menopause, I just wish someone would tell us about these, so we know what to expect. Take care

Thanks Coastal for the clarification. Though I'm still enamored by your kitchen, it's enlighting about some of your thoughts. When you talked about maybe wanting something possibly different with your countertops, though I love your quartz, I was wondering if I would grow tired of the simplicity. Some indecision there but closer then most things. Davidrol, I so know what you mean! In this case it's a bit different, since we already know we are changing EVERYTHING inside and outside of the house (furniture included). For that reason, we don't want to make the kitchen so modern that it sticks out like a sore thumb. I think that was one of the key attributes that I loved about coastal moderns kitchen. It was modern but gave a welcoming feeling. LavendarLass, those cabinets were just a bit too modern for us, but the openess is something we are trying to mimic. Awesome sink. Boxerpups, don't worry. You can't confuse me anymore then we already are. I've been sharing this thread with my DH and discussing our options. He pointed out that since we are more then likely (again no absolute decision) to go with a wood flooring, having wood cabinets wouldn't give us the constrast. Having glass uppers would seem best, but we are VERY, VERY concerned about what the items we would prefer storing in there. Besides dinnerware and glassware, we'd prefer to put items for baking, mismatched pitchers, etc. If we were willing (and we might be) to store those "ugly" items into the pantry, this would open up options. In this case though, I think it would be options that we could use. As I'm reflecting with all of this outpouring of help, I'm starting to feel a movement and direction out of the circle.

I started a couple of post as Lunchlady1948 one of my old names when I came back to the site since I am retired from serving kidlets lunch, I resigned in as Yogalady1948~~~it seems the site logs me out or maybe I am making it dizzy and crazy. I noticed some of my post have me starting a post as YLady and then reposting as LLady~~~I need to get it together EH??? Yogalady1948 AKA LunchLady1948

@beaglenc I agree, the vinegar is not as effective, though I do think it works great on removing soap from clothes. I use Seventh Generation powder detergent, but was using a liquid brand called Ecos. @monicakm_gw I own a top loader and always leave the lid open when finished. I agree, hot water is very good. The harsh environment that my clothes have been washing in seems to be having some side-effects. I've recently noticed some rock sediment appearing in my washer after the load is finished. It looks like a mixture of green, black and white molded into a small flat rock. My loads smell like BO whenever I see it, and I'm pretty sure it's mold, though I'm not sure what kind of species it is. I wanna say black, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately, whatever that crap is, I've since decided to convert to handwashing my clothes. I admit it's not very fun, but I do think it's been helping me. @dubs44 I tried the Oxiclean and that stuff kicks some serious mold @$$! The dizziness has been gradually dying down as I continue to wash and soak things in it, and I am so grateful. I have been using 1 full scoop of Oxiclean per gallon, as suggested on the box. I am not sure what you mean by "removing" the mold after its been killed, the Oxiclean doesn't seem to care and eats it right away :] I've been hanging more and more stuff outside, as I do like the idea of the sunlight getting to the clothes.. can't always rely on mother nature though, it's been very rainy here lately.
