17 years later, I agree. In the past year, I have’nt seen the Beautiful Homes of the past. In fact, very few homes are displayed That is why I purchased SL, to see Inspiring and Lovely Homes. The home interiors now look dark and thrown together. Last year’s Christmas issue was Nice. And now I see the same issue is on sale this year, a repeat of last year. Better Homes and Gardens does the same thing, repeat the previous year’s issue. They need to create New and Beautiful Christmas issues every year. The Best Christmas Magazines I find now, are from the UK.

My problem is that for the last two days GW is automatically logging me out each time I leave GW. I started a new thread about this, wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I need to email Tamara about this but I can't find her email and I didn't save our communication from the last time this happened to me. Buehl, would you please post Tamara's email here or email it to me? Thanks!

Oh my goodness! Thank you everyone! So many pictures and such fabulous suggestions. My DH told me that he went into the bathroom the other night and he turned the lights back off while he was in there b/c all of the different color samples I've painted everywhere made his eyes hurt! LOL I'm so glad to know that others feel blues are a hard color to get right. So I stopped by SW yesterday and tried Beacon Gray. Put it on last night. I looked at all of the other fabulous suggestions and it was b/w that and Iced Slate, but that one seemed to throw purple a bit. It is really hard to do based on a tiny swatch I know. If only they came in poster board size that you could borrow! :) So the Beacon Gray looks like a very pale blue in our bathroom. I think I'm going to get Mount Saint Anne (lyban-it's your bathroom that I saw the pic of!) So I'm blaming you for my rollercoaster I'm on at the moment! LOL I don't think I have access to F&B here. But it sounds like a fabulous company from what everyone says. Msrose: How interesting about signing up on BM...hmm. lukkirish: I've now learned from this experience just what you said. What I can't understand is the why part though. Anyone know why gray comes out blue on a wall? It's like magic. :) Bella: Oh how lovely they all are. I can't stop looking at them. If my DH comes home from work to find our whole house in blue, I'll know who to blame! funcolors-thanks. You are a gift! TY everyone. I have to run my son to his sunday school class...sorry I don't have time to respond to everyone's kindness at the moment. I'm very grateful though!!! We are spending the day with family today...although I know this will be spinning in the back of my mind all day! Back to SW tomorrow I hope! Thanks again! And really, I'm not completely obsessive, although it certainly appears that way right now! LOL Have a great day all! Thanks again!

Elmer and anyone else having issues with milk-try A2 milk. Many people who think they have lactose issues actually have an issue digesting A1 protein in milk. Cows produce either A1 or A2 protein. Milk contains both The A2 company produces milk only from cows that have the A2 protein which is easier to digest. I have thought since my 20’s that I was somewhat lactose intolerant but lactaid pills didn’t work that great. I’ve discovered A2 has zero side effects for me. I even tried a 24oz glass one day. Its milk, nothing else different except the cows have the genetic disposition that produces A2 It comes in whole milk, 2%, chocolate, and half & half. A2 Milk
