OMG! No phone! That's my connection to the rest of the world! I can stay in touch while I weed,clean or doing laundry. I can't imagine, what happens if there's an emergency? I would be terrified! I have the option to answer or not so it doesn't bother me that it rings too much! Annie, your killing me! I love those pics. I keep going back and looking at them. I thought I posted a good box, I guess not.LOL Tracy, where did you go???? Fran, it's getting close for your turn:]

That's so funny! That time I thought you were just being silly! Good news at the dentist always makes for a better day! Yay! Lisa - I'm so sorry that I've been remiss in taking time to post on the board that I received my prize package from you. I sent you an e-mail when it arrived on Monday. I hope you received it. To everyone else - Lisa sent me the nicest box of prizes from last month's games. For some game when I was the next person to post (it seems like we were waiting for Tracy to materialize but I don't remember why) she sent me some nice gloves and plant markers. For finding that tiny Christmas tree, thereby putting an end to her 'I Spy' game, she sent me a plant off of my want list. She chose to give me Phlox 'Orange Perfection'. I was very excited to get this, as I've never seen it in my area. And, just because she's so sweet, Lisa sent me another start from Larry's iris collection! I'm a lucky girl!

On the endorsement of pheasantfarmer (thank you) and some additional positive reviews on amazon.com posted even since I started this thread, we pulled the trigger and ordered the Panasonic NI-W810CS. The price differential for the '810 over its little sister '750 apparently is based solely (unintentional pun) on the ceramic coating -- vs. a titanium coating on the '750 -- of the soleplate on the more expensive '810. The size of the differential is surprising, because the T-Fal FV4476 has what appears to be a similar ceramic coating on its soleplate, and the FV4476's total price is only double the price difference between the two Panasonic models. The big issue with all consumer grade irons seems to be durability, and we'll need some time -- we hope, years -- to determine whether our choice was the right one; in the meantime, some laundered but wrinkled dress cotton shirts here will welcome any replacement to our deceased former T-Fal. Thanks to all for your comments.
