Wow! I forgot to come over here and check this link....lol. Now I have so much catching up to do. I did take pictures....sent them to Carol. I keep trying to post them, but the web site keeps telling me I have exceeded my bandwith...guess I will have to make them smaller...lol. My next day off work is Saturday and I will work on them than. I had such a great time at the swap and meeting you all was wonderful. I'm all geared up for the fall swap and have already started thinking about what I am going to bring... Hope you all have a great day.... Audra

Bgol, There is a safety device in the connector just before the regulator. There is a small ball that will stop or restrict the flow from the tank to the regulator. It is designed to stop flow if the hose ruptures, etc. If the tank valve is opened too fast, you will send the little ball crashing into the end of the fitting nearest the regulator where it might stick and restrict the flow. While you are wating for a response from Grand Hall or a new regulator, you can try this. If you are mechanically inclined, unscrew the fitting from the regulator. Try to blow both forward and backward through the fitting. If you can't free the ball this way, tap the tank end of the fitting on a piece of wood. If that does not work, you can try to gently push the ball back with a small wire. Be careful not to damage the small spring in there. If you get to this point, you may get it working but should replace the regulator under waranty. If you get the ball unstuck, reattach everything. Use some sealer (teflon, etc from the hardware store) on the threads going into the regulator. Good luck, Bill

Summers - yeah, I've seen that before...but it was fun to watch again. They are adorable!!! But, that's waaaay to much work for me to do...they'd have to be brushed every single day. I get mine groomed down to really close to the skin...then I wait until they're quite hairy (4 months) and get it done again. But, I'd LOVE to see pictures of your puppy as the hair grows out! It's still hard to find a dog with a natural tail here in Canada. And to find a large poodle (to help me with my balance) and with a natural tail is difficult. That's why I went with a St. Berdoodle. Our next dog in many years from now will be a poodle...so I'll have lots of time to find a breeder. There's a wonderful breeder in Nebraska (Solo Poodles)...I would dearly (when my current dogs have passed) love to get one of her dogs (natural tails)...but we would have to travel there to pick up the pup...she doesn't ship. But we may do that one day. :) You'll have to have your picture taken (so you can show us) on your scooter with the puppy when you start doing that...how cool!

I have only used it a couple times, and each time the items were over $50 dollars total anyway. I pay for the Plus membership mainly for the earlier shopping hours. At my local Sams, it really is a huge difference in how busy it is,and it worth it to me,
