O MYYYYYY G ! You know that feeling in the pit of your tummy when you have to slam on your car brakes and come thisclose to hitting a car, but don't? When I read "only one mistake...the membrane is upside-down!" I got THAT FEELING! I immediately thought "WHAT? I never read anywhere that the membrane needs to go print side up or down. Ohhhh noooo!" Then I continued to the next sentence and broke out in a cold sweat from relief---Mongoct, you devil, you! ROFLOL If you were close, I'd throw a ball of mud at ya. LOL On behalf of Mr. Amity and myself I want to Thank you so much for your help and the Kudos --it means so much, sincerely it does. Am

All municipal water suppliers are required to test their water numerous times per day, so in order to do so they all have their own labs. In most communities that have municipal water they also work with the local health dept to provide water testing for private wells. Contact either the local health dept or the closest municipal water supplier directly and they will tell whether the provide the service and what their procedures and fees are. In my community they will have you come to the lab and pick up a sterilized sample bottle. You take the bottle home and fill it with your water, then return the bottle and we pay a fee of $25. The will run the sample and mail you the results, which usually takes 4 or 5 days. I prefer to have the water tested in this manner because I know they will do a full comprehensive test, and they won't feed me a bunch of BS trying to get me to buy unneccessary equipment.

Good Luck Patti! My sister just had one. She had gall stones a year ago. They claim they don't go away.I guess they can break up and travel and block things though? Has had pain in her chest and horrible heartburn. The U/S was good. So now she's had another test, that I can't remember the name of! LOL To see if gall bladder is working properly. The test took something like 2 or 3 hours. She's still waiting for results, had it last Friday. I hope they find the problem for you!

You might ask your soil tester about what additions to add too. Generally adding sand to clay gives you a mortar like mix (unless you add a lot of sand). Typically more organic matter does a better job of handling clay, and some other things can help some clay soil types too (like gypsum). But it does depend upon the soil that you are stating with.
