the best way to handle that is to upload your videos to a hosting site that will allow you to share the link to where they are stored and the person you email the link to will be able to go there and view them, prevents all the email headaches. or you can use a service that allows big files GigaSize.com they have a free one available Send and receive large files * How to Send Large Files without Email: Best Services Online - Mini-Guide, Part 1 DivShare a lot of the photo hosting sites also now allow some video hosting.

If you have a car, then I would suggest you go to Draegers Grocery in San Mateo on 4th St. and have the most fun ever. Outrageously expensive but the best upscale grocer in the Bay Area. Since you've been to Spanish Table in other cities I wouldn't bother with the Berkeley location, it's pretty small although it is nearby the Cheese Board, which is a great cheese store run by a collective (very Berkeley). If you like seafood, then eat at Sea Salt on San Pablo & Dwight Way in Berkeley, an excellent place for lunch that is one of my favorites. If you do have your car when going to IKEA, then Townhouse Grill in Emeryville has an excellent burger and good salads, but Sea Salt is not that far north, just a few minutes, and is much better food. Their lobster roll is very tiny but absolutely choice and with a bowl of their excellent clam chowder (full of bacon and properly unthickened), my hands-down favorite lunch in the entire East Bay. Good wine list, excellent coffee, very laid-back at lunchtime. Weather in the Bay Area has cooled off and the fog is back, so bring that Polarfleece vest, especially for the Marina.

Good wishes and hopes for the best for both Jim and Sandie. As stated, he's been a fighter and through so much. Now that they are thinking that it may be time to stop further drastic treatment, may they have peace in their hearts as they follow through with whatever they decide. More prayers offered that they may choose well, and not have serious discomfort and pain, whether physical or mental and emotional, whatever path they choose. ole joyful

Thank you for posting this. We have an Army Ranger in Afganistan that will be spending Christmas away from friends and family this year. For all of his sacrifices we never hear a word of complaint from him. Whether we support the war or not, please support the troops who are stationed away from their families. They need to know we care about them. Mona
