Hi Heather, As far as the potatoes: I did get some potatoes(red) growing up the vine as I continued to "hill" them, but there is no real value in doing so...you don't get "lots and lots" ,but only a few and those are small... the way I will do it from now on is plant them in a shallow trench,when they get to be 1' tall,hill them up 9" or so (covering the bottom leaves isn't going to cause any problems,when they have reached another foot,do the same thing one more time,at this point you will have approx. 2' of soil covering your "seeds",that will be plenty....

Bill, The brochure is called "Trans-Pac Building Products", quality alder doors, door #TP 300v. I am getting mine from BMC Millwork in Austin, Texas. I have been working with Victor, telephone #512-465-4286. Tell him it is Trudy's door and he will probably know who you are talking about. Tell him it is the door on "Lost Creek Blvd." I tried to look up the price but all of my doors are priced together and I couldn't tell what this one alone was. Let me know if you need anything else. Trudy

Urinary Tract Infections: UTIs occur much more frequently in girls, particularly those around the age of toilet teaching, because a girl's urethra is shorter and closer to the anus. Uncircumcised boys younger than 1 year also have a slightly higher risk of developing a UTI. Other risk factors for developing a UTI include: * an abnormality in the structure or function of the urinary tract (for example, a malformed kidney or a blockage somewhere along the tract of normal urine flow) * an abnormal backward flow (reflux) of urine from the bladder up the ureters and toward the kidneys. This condition, known as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), is present at birth, and about 30% to 50% of children with a UTI are found to have it. * poor toilet and hygiene habits * the use of bubble baths or soaps that irritate the urethra * family history of UTIs Yeast Infections: In most cases, yeast infections can be prevented by keeping the vaginal area clean and dry. Jock Itch: jock itch can usually be treated with over-the-counter antifungal creams and sprays.When using one of these, kids should: * Wash and then dry the area using a clean towel. * Apply the antifungal cream, powder, or spray as directed on the label. * Change clothing, especially the underwear, every day. * Continue this treatment for 2 weeks, even if symptoms disappear, to prevent the infection from recurring. There are lots of adverse effects of poor hygiene, besides dying. Even though many of these are not 'caused' by not bathing, it can worsen a problem that is already there if you don't properly clean. (besides having a stinky kid) There are many other conditions that can be prevented (or part of treatment is )by keeping clean. If parents of a newborn or infant didn't bathe their child, they would be neglectful parents. As kids get older, they get dirtier and teaching them good hygiene is the parent's responsibility. Skipping a day is probably not a big deal, but several days can be. Especially school aged kids that are in contact with other kids that pass along more germs. Who would let their kid go days without brushing teeth? or washing hands after using the toilet?

On my monitor, I see a much more true gray than the blue Wedgewood Gray. Coventry Gray is a good true gray. Couple of other thoughts. By trying colors, are you buying test pots and painting them on a large swath of wall or poster board in your room's light? A good BM store could help you find a similar gray if you can show them the pic.
