Thanks, owbist. Funny thing, but the one person who sends e-mails with the smallest print I've ever seen, uses a Mac and he is a couple of years older than I am. 8-). I have complained to him about this, and one time he did use a slightly larger font setting. I'm wondering if he just doesn't know how to set his font size larger. Not being a Mac user, I don't think I can tell him, either, since I don't know his mail program.

I've updated critical updates on my vista laptop and not on my xp desk computer but have experienced the problem on both of them. I usually turn off my desktop daily and my laptop almost daily. I got it to print a recipe from GF with no problem yesterday, so maybe I might have been highlighting it incorrectly, who knows? FYI, the only thing I have not done is install new drivers on my printers, the desktop has a laser printer that has had thesame drivers for a few years now and I had to fix or reinstall the drivers for my inkjet printer because it wasn't happy with me, said itwas not completely installed although I had been using it for a few months before it started to pout. So put the CD in again and redid it to stop the popups, which they did. But that was a couple of weeks before I experienced this printing problem. Anyway, for now I will copy to Works and print from there until that program pouts. I live and learn. Thanks all..

Nancy -- our before pictures look like mirror-image twins! Your makeover is gorgeous! Great job. I love the picture frame molding in the last few pics (and DH says he'll help me do it) -- agree that with the gallery photos it's too much, so I'm thinking I'll aim for something like Nancy's artwork. Squirrel - why do you say you're fired? I think they look terrific and like the border/stencil option -- would be a way to tie together the light and dark woods if I end up staining the treads. LOVE your portrait, it's true you have super powers! You asked about the tile -- I am pretty sure it's original to the house (late 60s). Thank you all for your help!!! I will post after pics (but it will take me a long time to get to it!) First step is to fix the wobbly banister, because I don't want someone messing up my paint/staining when they come in to fix it.

Bee Super kitchen!! I am new to this forum and just picked up the magazine with your other fab kitchen! Lady you are a rock star! I am in PA too and am considering the cabinet maker you had do your kitchen. Would you use them again? But who is your stone supplier/fabricator. My local yard has a similar stone in ""Vermont"" something and we are also considering soapstone from Bucks County Soapstone but are really torn because our current granite is SO maintainance free. But I need a soft white/grey stone. I would pay to come see your kitchen and feel that stone!! hint hint
