I could think of dozens of adjectives that are *stronger* than smarmy but probably not permitted to be typed at this website...

GMTA = great minds think alike, eh?    

Classic? Country? Rustic? Modern?

Butcher-block (or lookalike) would work for country or rustic. Stainless steel would work for modern. Tile or slate could work for most styles, depending on the design.

I have a Corian-type solid surface countertop which I like. It does scratch fairly easily, but the scratches are easily buffed out with polish unless they are really deep.

public service or something, probably about reporting it.  Brooke was on at the very end making a little speech, but I actually didn't hear it.

Usually every year my husband's family gathers here in Central Florida at the beach.  However, during the hurricane season of 2004, the condo that my uncle owned timeshare in got damaged to the point of being condemned.  So now that we have to actually PAY for a condo, this year we have decided to head up to the panhandle which is halfway between the FL family and the AL family and in the same town as one of the aunts, namely due to gas prices and Lord their drive used to be 10 hours, no fun with kids.

As for us, we will be heading up there which we don't usually do.  However, both myself and my husband work from home so we might put gas in each vehicle once a month?  We also own a boat which we put gas in but this year we're telling friends who want to come out and go wakeboarding that they're going to have to chip in for gas.  As an FYI, boat takes 87 and not great gas mileage.  I drive a truck that takes the cheap stuff but gets 19 mpg and less while towing the boat.  Husband drives a sportscar that takes 93 BUT gets like 25-28 mpg, to say the least we will be driving his car to the panhandle in May!

Sorry to hear you are in the same boat.  It's funny because until you feel or have felt that way, it's hard to relate.  I truly feel that I have tried everything in my power. Now he wants me to try again and I just don't think I can change the way I feel.  We recently went to a Christian marriage counsellor that his mother wanted us to go to and he kept telling me that it is my choice how I feel toward my husband.  It isn't.  It's like a response to something bad for you I think.  Your body tells you to spit out bitter things because they could be poison.  Well....I think maybe it's the same type of response!  Like, no this isn't good for you, get away from it!

What kind of biopsy did you have and when did you have it?  Out here (Virginia) I had a stereotactic biopsy on a Wednesday morning and the results at noon the next day.  At the breast clinic here everyone comes in for the results.  I liked knowing the very next day, regardless of the outcome.  You know - the percentages are actually in your favor ... all the research I've done indicates 80% of biopsies are benign.  I had one 4 years ago that was benign.  Please let me know how you're doing.  I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

i had been bying vitamins from wal-mart.  then i went to GNC and talk the gal that works there and she recommended GNC brand ultra gold which i do take when i think about it.  but their vitamins are so big, they almost gag me, even the smell gags me.  supposed to take two a day.  they are loaded with stuff.  just wondered what ya'll take.

ps:  can't tell a difference in my energy level when i take GNC vitamins. 

and a very rural town at that, I introduced myself to all my neighbors in walking distance and let them know who I was, gave them my phone number if they ever needed anything, and let them know I was gonna be bringing in some stinky animals and told them I would be doing my best to ensure they wouldn't stink up their joints.  I couldn't believe how welcoming everyone was!  People were genuinely happy to have farm-y neighbors and admitted they were worried when they heard we were "from away," as they thought we'd be tearing down the little house we bought to put up a McMansion or something.  Neighbors even came by with carrots for the animals and asked if their kids could pat the horses and stuff.  One family even invites us to their home for Thanksgiving every year because they know we don't have any family nearby and really can't leave the animals for any length of time.  They give us hugs and welcome us into their home like we are their family.  I can't describe the feeling--it's just awesome.

Now, when we lived in a condo in the city--out of about 100 buildings we knew maybe 3 of our neighbors.  Imagine, packed in like sardines and we never talked to anyone.  Rush rush rush, keep your head low and don't make eye contact.  Darndest thing....of course hardly anyone spoke English as a first language there, but it was still weird to check your mail and have a bunch of people nearby and no one spoke--very icy.  I'm so glad I reverted to bumpkin-like livin'. 

Hi,

Thought the topic to interesting so wanted to reply. I chose my hours 6 p.m. to 2 p.m because my husband works steady 11 p to 7 a. He sleeps in the evening so thought it woud be a good time for me to work. Then when winter started, which is only noticeable by the light) I started 5 p to 1 a. Works out good for me and like it because I always have some work under my belt for the next day. Also, we get to have our days off together on Wed. and Thur. Working well so far. In summer will probably go back to 6 to 2 so I can swim.
