Ordinarily I'm on the side of "what they do on their property is their business," but improperly stored fuel is a pretty big problem. If your homes are in such close proximity, he should be storing his fuel cans in a safety cabinet. I don't know if it's a law, but it's the smart thing. Also, you may want to check with your local zoning office. I live in a little cowtown, but the only reason I was granted a home-occupancy business license was because I do not store machinery or fuel at my home. The laws may or may not be the same where you live, but it's worth looking into. I don't think bamboo would help, and... you don't want to do that to yourself. Dave

What can I say but 'wow'..I am so blessed! I really do feel better today...I called the other nite 'my pity party'..I truely do not want ya'll to feel 'sorry' for me...but dang I sounded like it when I read my posts...I was having a hard time the other nite..but a huge THANK YOU to everyone! I really do feel better today and stronger..thank you all!!!..sincerely! carrie..they do try other meds..but his system adjusts to them so fast they have to keep increasing them more and more..and all these drugs really do have nasty side affects..thank you for your prayers and concern! Suzi, thank you so much, I have to say 'us' 3 as a family now, are so strong together, and my GW friends who say so many prayers for us makes 'us' stronger!! we need ya'll! denise, I have looked up everything (I thought) about Lewy Bodies...yet you gave me a few sites I had not read..the only thing these are not talking about is his anger...it is so intense, and the neurologist said this is part of LB's... Thank you so much for your research and caring ..and especially your prayers! From the homes we have visited, most would take Pop with Az..but when we mentioned LB's they said they were not equipped to take 'these' patients..go figure! pk, it is difficult and seems to be more so as the days go by..but 'we' as the family we have will stick together..thank you so much for your prayers...I know they are helping! melvalena, again thank you so much for your prayers! I hope we can find a place that is willing to take Pop considering his anger...but my real wish is that they could possibly grow to love him as we do... Sally, thank you so much for your prayers! We have located an Az locater here in our area and they are helping us. My DH and DMNL went to a facility today that is 'hopeful' yet not cheap by no means..but actually got to talk to the neurologist on the spot and they have '1' opening due to a death..this is the strongest possiblity... Kathy you are such a sweet lady, what a blessing you are, you have helped me so much! And barb, thank you so very much for reaching out and listening...it made a huge difference in my life! Again, I know I say this over and over but you all have no idea how much your concern and prayers have already made a difference..I just cannot say it enough! Thank you from the center of my heart! P.S. so sorry this is so long! Dena

I just tried this and it works great; what would be a way to edit the thread, once I've saved it; copy and paste it in Word ? I'd want to return to it and edit out what I don't need and make an info document out of it, for example in conversations, there was a thread about books suggestions, I copied and pasted the thread and put it in my email drafts, then I edited out the conversations parts and only kept the book titles and authors. I guess I could copy and paste the whole thread and do that also; but your way of saving it as an archive is faster.

Much of the house is below grade. The below grade portion exterior walls is prolly concrete. Because a portion of teh house is below grade, it stays cool. Because it is concrete, moisture in the ground migrates through the concrete into the house, causing high humidity. The immediate solution is to run a dehumidifier. The long-term solution is more complicated.
