Hm...I have several but the most recent would have to be the first holiday that I spent with my boyfriend, Terry. At first, he thought that we wouldn't be able to get/afford a tree (fake one), but he said that when he saw the disappointment on my face about it, he decided to get one. I thought that ...

It is the drain bag in this setup which has caused the problem. Bruce Ah ok. I do a day dwell with the manuals (I love 'em..better than setting ...

Re: ultra-bag warning

Christmas Eve night is not the time I really want to start shampooing a carpet. I sent the first leakers back to B...

Hello Mike.

Don't know if this is available where you are, but I use Aveeno Products. I have found my skin has become unbearably dry (and I'm not looking forward to the upcoming winter season!). But, I use the bath oil and lotion, and that seems to make things a bit better.

Good luck.

Re: Is anyone else as ticked off at Katie Couric as I am?

On Tuesday 11/23 Ms. Couric was interviewing Steven Cojocaru (the crazy Hollywood e-reporter) about his need for a transplant. Cojo has PCOS. Apparently he has just loads of friends willing to donate. At the end of the rather trite interview Katie says "Oh Steven, Matt and Al (her co-stars) sa...
