lbpod, you got it all right, except for the straight screwdriver. Its proper use is to place it blade up in your back pocket and ventilate leather car seats (please note that this does absolutely nothing for marital harmony). Thanks for the laugh. I needed it after spending the entire day converting 10 billion oak leaves into a 3-inch coat over my entire body, and one bushel of compost material.

My scissors also cut through chicken wire and tin. Ms Minnamouse's are kitchen scissors and probably cut through chicken bones quite nicely. Plastic probably won't dull either one of ours. I can just imagine slicing into one or more of my fingers with that Dremel. I do have one... only use it when I have to.

Bonnie: I found the pictures of Mahala and your dog and mine have a lot of genetics in common, since the Rhodesian Ridgeback was bred with some Mastiff...which I guess is where they get their bulk and size..not to mention the strength in their jaws. My pup has the same black muzzle, too! I'm sorry your plumeria didn't last...The Hawaiian species are very pretty, but not as fragrant as the white ones that grow wildly here in Guam...I'll post a picture of that tomorrow so you can see the difference, which is really that the Hawaiian kinds come in so many pretty colors and are a bit more delicate looking.. You might want to look into trying to find a North American species that is called "Desert Rose" and grows in the southwest of the US...tolerates more dry climates, but the drawback is that it is not fragrant...Very pretty though..In Guam they are popular to grow as bonzai... Here's a picture of the bloom on mine... The leaves of the plant look like plumeria and when they first started showing up in Guam, many people called them "miniature plumeria" for a while...

I wish I had some pictures for you and would take some, but at the moment my craft closet is over flowing since our son moved back home for a bit and used my craft/sewing room for his living room and I've not gotten it back together since he moved back with his wife. ((YAY)) Anyway I have a four by eight sheet of heavy duty pegboard on one wall with commercial grade clear plastic baskets made for pegboard that I purchased all this when a fabric store that I worked at was closing. Not sure where you'd be able to find them, but if you can they are awesome for storing larger items on a wall. If you have mostly smaller items using the over the door shoe storage pockets in clear work great too. I had them in all our closets at our last home for storing everything from hats and mittens to health and beauty items. If you do use a pegboard make sure to buy the heavier duty because they'll last forever. Also check HoDe and Lowe's for unique storage gadgets made for them. They have little buckets, jars with lids along with a variety of hooks. We usually get ours at HoDe, but I'm sure Lowe's would have a good variety of pegboard storage gadgets too. I did a bit of a search and see there's even metal pegboard. Now that should last forever.
