Many years ago in El Cajon Ca. we use to play golf at a course that had been an olive orchard. There were many trees left after putting in the course, but people complained about the olives. I wrote to the U.S. dept of Agriculture and got a whole booklet on how to cure olives. I don't know when I had such a good time and so many people wanting my olives. The golf course even provided me with a golf cart to collect the fruit. Amazed when I found out that the olives are picked green, well they turn a beautiful satin green color. It was all in the curing as to whether we wanted our olives green or black. At our poker parties/any party, olives were expected at our home. After 40 some years I still have that booklet and sometimes the urge to cure olives again.

I check myfamily.com daily. It's a place you can set up a website just for your family. Since I come from such a large "tribe", it's a wonderful way to keep in touch with all my siblings plus nieces, nephews and cousins. No one else can log on unless they were given a name and password. We share all our news, pictures, recipes, book and movie reviews. It isn't free but it's worth it to keep family close. Always check the 10-day forecast at weather.com Facebook, Yahoo mail, 1saleaday, and my home town (Indiana) newspaper. I also play 2 games that are so addicting--mah jongg and colored bricks, which someone on here posted a long time ago.

Thanks! Keep them coming! Buehl, I'm looking for an example of a set up that a vendor could embed in his/her website to showcase his/her work, I'm not sure how you'd do that with the FKB set up, but I will show him.

I've also had very good luck with Sears. Probably it depends a bit on your local store's manager, volume of the store, etc. I was thinking today of taking a picture of the very slight dark circular line around the handle of my DW that caused it to come to me at, dunno, something like 75% off its retail. My local Sears is so small and so happening (while somehow managing to be the sleepiest store you've ever set foot into. It's just when they are selling it's something else again) that when they decide something has to move I swear you could get them to pay you to remove it. They are big enough to seemingly not even care about whether and how much money they happen to take off you personally. It's really a bit weird in some sense. I'm not complaining, mind you. My point is mostly: YMMV.
