sandi, I think my friend got this one on ebay! I did see some at Ben Franklin before Christmas and they had a green one that I wish I would have bought because now they don't have any. :( luvstocraft, I am missing a couple of plates and saucers but otherwise still have most of the set (set of 8) and also the vegetable bowls and the big round platter. And NO chips on any of them! lol! The yellow tablecloth is as old as the dishes and has had lots of wear! kathleen, I didn't know there was such a thing as a olive tray before my friend sent me that one. I think they are so unique!

HI GUYS! Well, the real estate agent I had over yesterday was SO nice. She said she really liked the house and we got along really well. So, my choice are narrowed to her and another lady. (There are mostly lady real estate agents in my area. In fact, no men have listed a house in this area in AGES.) Last night, I got an email from someone who was asking if my house was going on the market soon and then, this morning, I got a call from an agent who wants to preview it for a client. So she's coming on Tuesday. I'm ready to SELL and MOVE now! Today, I had to clean, pack, and have a visit from "V"'s social worker. The visit went well and she wants him to move with us to the the rock, so it's looking very promising. Please light a candle and send a positive thought that he stay with us through our move. Love has nothing to do with this move wher ethe state is concerned. It's all about visitation for the mom (who has not been heard from since just before Easter! The S/W's supervisor has the final say. Now, I'm off to pick up my DD (age 12) from school. She's been at a remote Eco-Camp this week--no communication, electronics, and no make-up! I wonder how it went! No doubt, she'll be re-working our house to make it "greener" now! After the move, I'm switching to cloth diapers. After NHSuzanne's info about them and my own reading, I am convinced it's the way to go! QOD: Saturday will bring the community recycling effort, where we can take all of our hard-to-recycle stuff (like monitors, TVs, batteries, motor oil, paint, and stuff) to the church lot and drop them off! I'm making a pile of this stuff and loading it in my truck. Then it's off to the granite place to choose a "bundle" of granite for my new countertops. After that, choose a sink. Yesterday, I bought a new SS cooktop and SS dishwasher. Sunday, the new appliances will be delivered so they can be templated for the countertops on Tuesday. Oh! And prom is this weekend. No rest for the WICKED! lol. Soon, we'll have picture of our home to post and then, hopefully, a SOLD sign will be in our yard! (Yet another candle, please.) Sounds like EVERYONE is busy! That's great! DeeMarie! I am very proud of your success on WW. I hope I can be JUST LIKE YOU! Right after this chocolate thumprint cookie, I'm going to get SERIOUS! :-) I miss Besh and Marci and Gretchen and Donna, JEN, and Maddie and of course, everyone's secret boyfriend, John...where are you guys?

I'm recuperating!!! I thought i had the mumps !!! Ever see a 69 yr old with those?? It started wednesday and then yesterday i went to the dr.He doesn't think it's the mumps,rather thinks it's a clogged saliva gland.Put me on antibiotics,and warm moist compressess a few times a day and i have to suck on sour lemon drops to help keep stones from forming in the gland.I had never heard of any of this before yesterday.He also sent me to the lab to have blood drawn to rule out other possibilities of what it might be. My face is so swollen and very tender,had a hard time sleeping.Hope it goes away quickly.Don't really feel sick or anything,just pain. In fact this afternoon i went out and spray painted one of my plant stands. Tomorrow i should iron if i feel up to it,we'll see. Have a great weekend everyone. Kathi

Mike-Julie Willhite - If you have the time and skill, you can try taking your control panel off and disconnecting the cables between the glass touch panel and the control board, make sure they are clean, and reconnect them to see if that solves the issue. The control panel part you mentioned for $310 is probably the control board, not the outside glass panel. In my case, it was the glass panel (or some electronics in the back of it) that was the problem, not the control board. Those glass touch panels can run near $1000 new. Luckily, I found an excellent condition set of the glass panel and control board together on ebay for less than a new control board.
