aggie,that word is just short for application. You download it,then an icon appears on whatever it is you have..IPhone,IPad or whatever. You just click on it and then a site pops up. Some of them I can't figure out. For instance,on my IPad,if I wanted to,I could have downloaded and "app" for the New York Times" but why would I go to the trouble? All I did was go to the Times sight and put my own icon on the screen. Some of that "app" stuff is silly..some of it isn't. If I were in a crowd and needed a bathroom pronto..how neat to haul out an IPhone ( which I don't have) and find one in a mini second. How are you doing?

I knew what song you were talking about right away. I have it on a compilation disc from a now defunct indie music magazine that used to send a cd out with each issue. The mag was called "Paste" and I miss it dearly. There were usually 20 songs on each cd, most by artists I had never heard of.

I am sorry about your son. I hope the best for him. Sadly, among smokers and tobacco chewers, cancers of the lung, throat area, mouth and lips are common. I recall during WW2 when a connection was made to cigarettes. Roll your own cigarettes had became popular. A particular cigarette paper was blamed for lip cancer. Whether that was a primary cause of not, a change was made in processing these papers to remove certain chemicals.

My old kitchen has one circuit for everything but the stove and lighting. You cant run the microwave if the crockpot is on, the dishwasher is on, and the fridge is running. I have to prep with my back to the stove. The cabinets are falling off the walls. The stove is right against a cabinet side. You cant open the oven and dishwasher at the same time. There is one sink. It is only 27"wide. I feel nothing but glee at the prospect of my addition. We paid hundreds of thousands less for this house than the going rate because of this stupid kitchen. Fixing it is a long time coming! I am trying to be careful enough about my choices that in 20'years, I will need to do no more than replace the cabinet fronts and maybe countertop if it's dated. If I get the layout right, that will be the case. :) But I'm choosing cabinets that look a lot like the originals. So hopefully not even that! I am the only one in my circle who keeps cars forever. I don't like them. I got super advanced safety features when I got mine. When I have to get another, I'll do it again. But I've had housekeepers with much nicer cars than mine. :)
