Can't say as I do. I'd like to see the bottom just to see how it's constructed. You could also post to ebay"s P, G & P Board here: (They will definitely want to see the bottom - and also the back. Also dimensions can be key.)

Sincere thanks to all those who served in the military and their families.

Thanks for asking. She's doing better every day with really noticeable progress today. I do still stand very close by when she's getting up, sitting or lying down. The long incision looked much better today when I cleaned and redressed it. Best thing is, she's feeling how well she's progressing. Mother's day and her birthday in the next week along with a couple doctors' appointments but no going out for dinner I'm afraid. Will probably fix her surf and turf on the grill on one of those.

Thank you for the wishes for Diane. I brought her home late yesterday so we're adjusting to doing the rehab here. We hope it will go at least as well as 13 years ago when she had both hips replaced at the same time. Home health care nurse was here this morning and pleased with how well she's doing. A different nurse will be here Friday and an occupational therapist will be calling to schedule his visits. It sounds like it will be a busy week and a half or so.

I won't be going on any buying trips for a while!!

My wife had one of her replacement hip joints redone Friday and is doing great so no more dislocations! She'll be coming home tonight or tomorrow morning since she doesn't need to go to a rehab site for a day or two. Guess I'd better get busy policing this place!!

Thanks for the warning. I haven't received any from you but I have received a couple SPAM emails from someone on AOL who posts here occasionally.

Thanks for that link! Starting in early spring, we have cardinals whistling (to establish territory or attract females, I suppose) and I enjoy talking with them when I go out to get the paper in the morning. Chickadees also respond to my attempts. I suppose this may have been posted years ago, but here's a link to an eagle cam near Decorah, Iowa. I have it on my computer most of the day - fun to watch the family from before laying the first egg until after the young leave the nest. They do return off and on for quite some time after that.

I believe you said you used eBay/Paypal shipping. If so, the eBay item number is printed on the label if you have that box checked. Of course it is in very small print, but if this is a middleman who does high volume, he should know about that. I would not respond to the message.

Yes, Twinkies would be the Minnesota Twins. We went to quite a few games when they played in Bloomington - easy to get in and out and an enjoyable summer evening outdoors. Went to 2 games after they moved into the Metrodome (big blecchh!!) and have not gone to any at Target Field as I dislike Minneapolis - plus high prices. Nearly all their games are televised and it's a lot more comfortable to watch from a recliner.

Twinkies won 3 in a row so now a 0.500 ball club.... After a couple years of 90+ losses, that's progress... I've always been a Wisconsin Badgers and Green Bay Packers fan but never liked the Milwaukee baseball team.

I collected stamps as a kid, then as an adult I collected used USA stamps, primarily pre-1920. Also collected Wisconsin postal history from stampless covers to more modern postcards with unusual cancels or from towns which no longer had post offices. I sold all a few years ago and must admit it was an excellent investment in addition to providing lots of hours of enjoyment. (Much better than the glass I love!)

There were (and probably still are) people who thought buying new stamps at the post office was a good investment. Some bought sheets, some plate blocks and some only 1 or 2 copies. Whatever, when those people go to dispose of their "investment" (or the heirs want to get rid of them), they find there is no market for mint stamps made within the past 80 years or so (with a few exceptions). They're lucky to get 50% of face value simply because of supply and demand.

You have the same first name as my all-time favorite female singer - Miss Patsy Cline. That's the way she signed her name on a guest register at a home which let rooms near the Wisconsin state fairgrounds where she performed. I rather wish I hadn't sold that.

Favorite male singer - Roy Orbison.

It states in the abstract: "Congress has statutorily established 11 permanent federal holidays, which are legally applicable only to federal employees and the District of Columbia. Neither Congress nor the President has asserted the authority to declare a “national holiday” which would be binding on the 50 states."

mystery: I've sold all of those items.....hmmm, a misspent youth.

Yes, too cold there but we've had a number of days in the 40's with below freezing night temps. There certainly have been significant changes in that operation since I was a youngster. Back then, everyone used tin pails hanging from the taps and had to go tree to tree emptying the pails into a larger container on the back of a truck or wagon. Next came plastic bags and then plastic lines running through the woods to one or a few collection points. The sugar bushes all used wood to fire their boilers; now it's almost entirely powered by gas. Even with all the changes, it's still not an occupation for someone afraid of physical work.

I have a piece of Bohemian glass up on ebay doing rather well and I suspect that this was automatically generated from Germany because of that.

I got all our information for taxes entered for our preparer today so that's a good job done. Going to take a BAD hit on taxes this year and I am NOT looking forward to the final numbers!

Ellsworth won the championship 46 - 12, making for their sixth team title. They have a young fellow at 126 pounds who won his fourth individual state title. For such a little guy, he's a terror! Good program there, have had only 3 head coaches in about the 56 years they've had a team.

Looks to me like an EAPG pattern called Late Paneled Grape, Indiana Glass Co., made as late as early 1900's. Not Goofus painted but rather stained. Here's a link to a water set:

I'm with you on food textures. My mother told me that when I was a baby she tried to feed me Jello (all kids love Jello, right?) and I'd hold it in my mouth until it melted and then let it run out. Still can't abide much of anything with a soft texture, hate mashed potatoes, cooked cereals without texture (and can no longer find Red River cereal around here, darnit!) and other squishy foods. I would eat an occasional marshmallow if it were cooked over fire and had a charred, crispy exterior. I can't imagine I'd like peeps but have never tried one. Good thing we don't all have the same likes/dislikes.

Wish I could send you some heat but global warming is bypassing us - high of 4 tomorrow and 14 below forecast low for tomorrow night. Unseasonably cold even for us - stay warm!!

Apparently they have fun going back and forth across the river.
