Sorry - I'm only semi-literate where computers are concerned, and I think posting a picture would be beyond me! The browning is not as severe as in the picture - it's more like a bit of brown edging on a leaf or a brown streak in the centre of the leaf. The leaves themselves don't look distorted - just a bit thin.

I'm thinking it's fine for now, but I'd keep an eye on it since 'Striptease' seems to be one that has a very high incidence of it showing up in, eventually, like 'Sum & Substance'!! If I ever get another 'Striptease', I'm getting it from someone who is vigilant about testing for HVX and Hallson's and Rob Canning are two sources I would trust to get another one from! I won't buy it at any other source, local nurseries, big box stores, etc. The one I have is from *Greenguy* a few years ago, and so far it has not shown any evidence of the virus! I hope it continues to be virus free, because it is very special to me that he was so thoughtful to surprise me by his 'gifting', after I lost a HUGE amount of hosta in the Spring of '07 (?)!! Thank you, again, Todd--it's a lovely plant!

I think Sieryn gives good advice. You would never want to make her feel like you were leading her to choose living with you. You can, however, make it known that you would love to have her, and that at her age a judge will listen more to her reasonable wishes. She needs to know that all her parents want what is best for her, and that she needs to think of what is best for her (not her parents) as far as a living situation. At her age I think it's even okay to tell her that there could be some hurt feelings as all parents would like her twith them all the time and obviously can't have that, but that it isn't her responsibility in this instance to worry about her parent's feelings. No matter what you say though, she will still worry. Would there be a way for her to see a psychologist for a while to talk some of these things through? He/she could then give a recommendation to the courts that may be nothing more than repeating what your SD wants, but then he/she is the bad guy rather than SD, and BM has no way to know if SD said she wanted to move or if Dr. just thought she should.

Okay, off topic, Sally, please, please do a new post, for your reveal. I do enjoy all the white kitchens but for many reasons did not do one myself; we non-Somethin's Gotta Give remodelers need more inspiration photos! Was that Costa by the way? It's gorgeous! On topic: When one measurement changed, I did not think through how that impacted the rest of the plan. Despite research on the web and the store, when I received my microwave trim kit, the cabinet needed to get deeper than planned. I figured out pretty last minute that we now had a tiny unacceptable walkway and we moved the fridge over. We were so busy congratulating ourselves on our narrow escape, but the ride wasn't over. I didn't think about the 3 upper spacious cupboards that would now be microscopic when installed. The cabinet maker cut me a pretty good deal to redo that set with fewer but bigger doors. He definitely went above and beyond, and given what everyone else has posted about contractors, I am so very grateful that it got corrected as it did. Another one I did not think about soon enough was making a Ceiling and Texturing Plan. This is not the same as a Lighting plan, although lighting obviously figures into the equation. We did parts (not all) of this project DIY. We hadn't realized some areas that we needed to mud better because they would not be covered by tile or cabinet (ie above the window) and he had to add some hot mud last minute. Given the contractor we got (a personal rec), that was only a small upcharge. Also, be aware that once your texturing is underway, the room is sealed off. You can't supervise unless you are sealed in too. I would send in a big map or go over it with blue tape that you remind him to pull off before he starts that area. Like another poster, I also did not figure out that I wanted my ceiling light hung from a different position. I will not retexture, my husband is adamant that I find a table fixture that can be hung to correct position by a chain and a hook. It is what it is. The height and exact placement of the hood was not ideal. I was adamant that it be within the manufacturer's specs so that it worked properly. However, there were several inches of leeway within those guidelines. Have everyone pretend to be cooking and see what they think. It should have been higher to avoid my husband bumping his head. He is learning. But that was definitely a mistake.
