deb what you want is listed as an app but it does not function as advertised and instead collects data on you and your friends only. as jodi mentioned any app that would ever function that way would definitely have the ability to disable being found out. FB eats up an already insane amount of storage space and i doubt they will ever have the true ability to trace searches as that would require every search be stored and able to be referenced. the amount of space requirred for that is not possible on any free service. it is also my understanding they, FB, have yet to make $$ and do not project profits for yrs yet. no profits=no serious expansion. marygail what you are talking about involves the privacy settings i mentioned above. the photos you are able to see are able to be seen by friends of friends. i am psychotic about my photos, as i take what i think are fabulous pics but i do not trust anyone to have them on their website, like FB. i put up only the ones i don't care about, those of publishing quality are not up :-) not even to just friends lol and i have never posted any of those here ~ liz

Sky, I know you are trying to work this out without having to send for paint that turns out not to be all it's cracked up to be. There are several levels of exploration of FS that may help you work this out. The first is ordering some FS paint chips from EK, Citron or Donald Kaufman, (listed in order of their cost, I think). Then from these samples you would need to select a color you think might work for your project (assuming that there was such a color in the paint chip array you ordered). Then you should get a sample pot and paint out a large sample (or two) so you could tack it up on your wall and see if you liked it. At that stage (with the real paint to compare it to) you could try and have it color matched locally and paint out some sample boards to compare with FS painted samples. Then you'd know if it was worth it to you. Truly, FS paint does make a visible difference in most shades (barring a particular person's physiological inability to perceive it, which does happen). Have you read the Donald Kaufman books about FS paint? Although one couldn't expect to get an accurate idea of his colors from a printed book because of the challenges related to printing, the text of the books and the gorgeous photos will help you understand the theory of FS paint. The books are expensive, but are easily acquired through most interlibrary loan programs. After that, why not order somebody's sample set and see if there is a color you like and order a sample pot. The total "wasted" expense for doing something like will be less $75, max, and you will know what you think about the FS question forever more. Right now I have a few sample pots of Donald Kaufman (a grey, a yellow and a green) and would be glad to send you little real-paint samples so you can see for yourself. I bet other people who are currently using FS colors might be willing to do the same, although that's a very hit or miss proposition since none of us may be using colors that you're thinking about. It would be better to bite the bullet and send for a set of your own sample cards. Personally I like DK -though he's the most expensive of the lot, unfortunately - and Citron better than EK colors (though my EK set of samples is now about 2 years old and probably she has different ones, which I might better). This is just paint, not magic, however, so if all this is too much trouble, just take yourself off to BM or SW or C2, all of them have wonderful colors. Even I, a FS junkie, sometimes can't find the right shade in anybody's FS line so I choose something from the mainstream suppliers. BTW, I don't mind answering FS questions, but I'm sick of FS "debates", so I often skip the whole thread. HTH, Molly~

If you set your FB to not show Friends, then they won't see her. Nor will it show when you friend her. They will however see when you correspond with her if you reply to your new friend's post. But that won't necessarily show that you're friends because your new friend could have her posts wide open for anyone to respond. If you don't want them to see what you post in general, create a group and put them in there and then use the exceptions option on that group.

I bet Joseph Corlett will know for sure, and hopefully he will respond. But, to my eye, I don't see any reason you can't trim. It looks like the strips are there to stabilize the box and they will still do that if trimmed to allow the bowl to fit. In fact, if the bowl is fitting against the strips, won't that give additional lateral stability? Also, I would like to hear if anyone has ever HAD to remove and replace a good quality sink. I don't mean, taste changed and wanted something different. Or installation was sub par so everything had to be re-done. I have seen many posts over the past 4 years that attested that having the flanges overlap the cabinet sides was just fine. In this case they would overlap only the strips but still, would clips then even be needed?
