Thanks everyone! I'm sure he will do well with all your prayers. He is still waiting to hear from his doctor on the results of the CAT scan. I'm just hoping we can be moved into our new apartment before he has his surgery so there isn't the stress of handling the move on my own. Although it might be worth it to get away from the elephants living upstairs from me. Since we have lived here, we have had about 4 different tenants upstairs from us. One was a bigger guy and we would hear him walk around every so often. There must be a floor board that is exceptionally squeaky in the bedroom and living room. But the elephants upstairs from us now never sit or sleep! I don't think they work either. They march around in the bedroom until 3:00 a.m. It sure will be nice to get away from them. I really need to start packing...yuck! Thanks again for all the well wishes, you guys are the greatest!

Sorry, if you posted in some message asking for pictures, I must've missed it. Here's some info from a recent posting: For our kitchen remodel, I ordered the cabinets from Scherr's. Partly because I wanted quarter-sawn oak (which few companies offer), partly because some hard constraints in the design necessitated either custom sizes or wasteful filler strips, and partly because I'm cheap. Although these cabinets are not cheaply made by any stretch. The cabinets boxes were mostly upgraded to plywood. The drawers were dovetailed hardwood (and although they are their cheapest option "mixed hardwood" they are beautiful.) The hinges and slides are top quality, and the leveling legs make DIY installation quite easy. For all of the cabinets shown in the following drawing: the final price was about $17,600 + about $800 in shipping. and here's how they turned out:

I was thinking somewhat the same thing. Sometimes, when I've wanted to offer someone the opportunity to contact me privately but they don't have email capability via Gardenweb, I've put the message in text, but disguised it, splitting it up so it's difficult for robitic searchers to decipher, or reversing a sequence of phone numbers, giving a key elsewhere in the message. ole joyful

I disagree with Martin. My take on Dylan's work is very personal. Frieda wrote "song lyrics can be poetry." I concur with this. A poet is often one who captures the zeitgeist of a culture, of an age. Dylan is my generation and spoke for me and for so many others against injustices in American society. Out of this counterculture movement (of which Dylan was the eloquent spokesperson) flourished the woman's movement, the Civil Rights movement, and protests against a wasteful and senseless war in VietNam. I worked in the Civil Rights Movement in the south, had male friends who were fleeing to Canada to avoid the draft, lived within one hour of the Kent State shootings, and recall vividly the Kennedy-Kruschev confrontation in Cuba. I am an unashamed child of the Sixties. America is still dealing with the aftermath of the VietNam war re veterans and PTSD. How much of Dylan's lyrics have you listened closely to? "Master of War"? "Oxford Town."? "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall"? Do you know what events these lyrics refer to? Dylan spoke out in his youth brilliantly and courageously for peace, in an age of great turmoil in my country.
