Hi all.. just got back to computerland..Interesing stories Bill & Barb on the cuts wow..Blood stains do come out, actually pretty easily if you use the right "formula".. and HOT waster is NOT part of that formula. Hot seems to set the stain.

cold water, vinegar/ammonia seem to do a good job, if you are vigilant.

Tracy, goodluck on the test! more money is good, lots of needs for most of us.

Nowhere.. been thinking about you & Pansy this week. Even with others around, you miss those. My Cali is my old gal. She arrived at my home 1988. I had not heard about your mayor dying.. was this sudden? when did it happen?

I haven't been up on all the news for quite a few weeks.

Barb, sorry the new job is the pits. bummer!

I didn't try any hot water. I mostly tried this stuff called "Zout" which is a Dial product for removing stains from fabrics. I just happened to have this stuff sitting around because they gave it to us at work. We make detergent molecules for the companies that make the soap products, and the companies sometimes arrange free samples for us for special events. I don't know whether the stuff in "Zout" actually comes from our plant. It was reasonably successful with many of the stains, but there were some that were just too much for it. Maybe I'll give it another try with ammonia or vinegar.

Thanks. I know when I lost Greystone, it left a huge void. Even though he slept with my, I till have three out of four that still do, G.W., his brother (5), Boo (16), and Corky (17, now my oldest). Still hard to move on the bed. B-) Mom's bed is vacant since Pansy pased on, but there are times Pixie (13 or 14) sleeps with her but not recently. I'm bummed that Pansy is gone, she was doing well until she hit that brick wall. B-(

As to the mayor, in July, he had been diagnoed with lymphoma, a rare form of it where he had tumors on the brain. Usually treatment is very promising but in his case, he fdeveloped fluid on the brain so the had to install a shunt to drian the fluid, the chemo wasn;t working so they tried radiation. The shunt got infected and he went downhill from there.

In case of the mayor's death, the President of the City Council becomes mayor, his name is Luke Ravenstahl, he graduated high school in 1998, college in 2002/03 and is only 26 years old. He is the youngest "big city" mayor. He bacame Council President as a compromise since thre were two forces that wanted their own guy in but things would hae ended up in a loggerhead otherwise.
