Hey muneca_fl, I responded to your email a few days ago but I just noticed that your email had this at the bottom: (PLEASE NOTE: The member responding to your post has chosen not to reveal his or her email address. Therefore, you cannot reply to this message via email.) So I'm guessing you never got that... I'd love to do some trading with you. What are you interested in?

From the fingers of Tamara There's a joke in there somewhere about KY jelly and olive oil, but I'll let Jessy handle that one 'Handle' that one, indeed. I always considered KY a food condiment, thats why I have a tube in our bedside tool-box. We really should have a taste-off with Astro-Glide, dontcha think? I should have been Sarah Silverman. Next lifetime! Oh yeah we're talking about ads...none here. Don't care either way if I'm logged in and they are unobtrusive. Its when I'm NOT logged in that they are all over the place. Almost as bad as Sunset and Foodnetwork's sites.

You might want to look again at the pantry wall arrangement. You USE the pantry and the refs when cooking. In the current arrangement, the pantry entrance is centered for no particular reason - making it further to travel for the cook. The refrigerator is a good 12-15 feet around the island to main prep. Also, forgive me, but the pantry just looks like a collection of miscellaneous stuff shoved in there instead of a storage pantry. The reality of a desk like that is no one will use it because its dark, cramped and not fun to be rolling back in the chair and smacking into the open door or the extra ref/frz. Then too, the ref door will not open all the way and the doored cabinet on the shared bath wall can't be opened. Even if you do something like use sliding doors, you won't be able to use the stuff in the area by the side of the ref because you won't be able to reach it. Try not turning the corner between the range wall and pantry wall with cabinets. Put the entrance to the pantry there instead, then do refs and then do counter to the doorway to the dining room. One of those cabinets could double as a standing desk. Then try shelving around the "U" shap of the longer part of the pantry for storage ending in the blank ref. Keep cabinets along the left hand short wall and maybe a crate space with counter over it facing what is now the doorway. Start or finish the "U" with the extra ref/freezer.

sandiefl, yes, yes. I thought it was running up and down the stairs changing beds. But it has left me tired. oh my god, I'm so glad you posted this. I'll be sweating, then not even 3 minutes later, I'm cold. So I have blankets beside me and I'm constantly putting them over me then kickng them off. Did you have radiation? I thought it was the left over affects of the radiation. I'm going to my oncologist and breast surgeon on Aug 2 and 3. They are the best of the best. They are in NYC. I don't mean to say that every doctor in NYC is the best, but, really, these guys are the best. honestly. When I go in August, I will get it out of him. They seem not to want to tell you the symptoms. Did YOU feel that way? For me to tell my hubby "I feel tired", I FEEL TIRED. Remind me to tell you what he says. I'll kick his ass if he doesn't. lol.
