I am sitting at my computer for the first time in three weeks. It feels good but I know I won't last long. I am feeling much better but am still building strength. Yesterday I walked in the yard for the first time seeing all the plants our early spring has brought to life. It felt wonderful! I had...

Now that you're done dancing for me, I'll expound on why I asked. After a whole week of Dr's, I have GREAT NEWS to sha Right Foot/ankle I'm OUT of Das Boot for the most part. I will STILL have to wear it for certain 'events' and off/on whenever I have swelling adn STILL have it elevated...

Howdy! I won't mark this Off Topic because in the midst of all the tornadoes in north Texas this afternoon, the quilt fabric is safe. We escaped in our neighborhood; just 2 miles north of us, tho', they got hit pretty badly; tornadoes surrounded us at 1 p.m.; this Big T skipped along southwest...

I have been wondering how your meeting at the school administration building a couple of Friday's ago went. Did you and DH get any satisfactory answers? -- Di Maloney Vic. Australia

I've been reading about the Bloc-Loc tool. I'm thinking about ordering one or two or a set. Just wondering if anyone has used this tool & if so, do you think ordering the 6 1/2" tool is all you really need or is it best to get the whole set? It sounds like a great tool & I can't wait to give...
