Found it, I didn't know you could still download it. If you decide to use it I would create a restore point before doing so. Unless it does turn out to be a 64 bit compatibility problem.

I appreciated it too......... What good timing , this is "Random acts of Kindness" month here. I'm going to try to do something each and every day......for the half month that is left : (

We rented a walk-behind floor sander and it worked beautifully! DH liked running it so much, I had to really talk to him into letting me give it a go! LOL! No other prep was needed! Yes, we vacuumed the dust up but that was it. I used my hand-held sander to reach the places the big one couldn't get to. I followed up with a semi-transparent product called Ready Seal. This was last Summer. The product is AMAZING! It's held up to my wet PNW Winter/Spring like nobody's business--and this with only ONE coat! I plan on slapping another on this Summer. It went on effortlessly and there were absolutely NO over-lap marks. Can't say enough good about Ready Seal! I'll be using it on some unfinished Adirondack chairs this week. It's my new Holy Grail exterior stain. Google Ready Seal--the gentleman I spoke to was great to deal with!

Colleen, I think sometimes the biggest help you can offer someone is simply understanding their position without judgement. I don't know the particulars of your situation, but it sounds like you're willing to share in some (perhaps many) of the child-raising duties. Which is great, and may even be an utter necessity depending on how responsible (or not) the BM in your life happens to be... and the DH.... But no matter what actions you're taking to help ---and no matter how great these actions are--- BM will still "bite your hand" if she knows you think of her as "pathetic", which would feel to her like massive insult on top of injury. Again, I obviously don't know all the details involved.... but c'mon... divorce, remarriage and especially 'the new wife" are always a touchy and sensitive set of issues. For anybody. Few women would reach out and hug or worship the woman who's now with the man that could have hurt or rejected them very harshly. Even if your DH isn't a sleazy caricature ---the type to toss out the first wife at mid-life then run out & get a red sportscar and a bimbo half his age--- this caricature exists b/c many men DO end up with younger women in their 2nd marriages. And to make matters worse, these men often "fix the errors of their past" or "become more sensitive and mature" just in time to shower the new wife with all kinds of praise, support, commitment, etc. that the first wife never got b/c when they were married the guy was a young pr!ck who thought he had a lifetime to discard or mistreat women at will or "upgrade" to a newer model as a prize for certain milestones of achievement or bank balance. So the stereotype is that the new wife is treated like a queen, unlike the first wife who scrubbed toilets to help put him thru med school, etc. Even when it's not so callous as this, thing is many men DO mature as they get older and learn how to treat women better and appreciate them more, etc. and the first wife sees this happening and feels like she wasted years of her life she won't get back. It's rough, and just plain not going to be easy for the first wife to think you're the bee's knees. Best case scenario, she will be civil and will have moved on with her own life and might even be really nice to you... But even in the best situations, there is always a small part of any former wife (or girlfriend, whatever) that will make some comparisons, question what you've got that she didn't have, why you "deserve" to be treated well by the same man that treated her like a piece of garabage (at least by the end of the marriage). And if you DO happen to be younger or prettier, it's going to make matters infinitely more strained ---obviously--- if she catches the slightest whiff of you regarding her as a pathetic old bag. Even if she's acting crusty and biting your hand, within yourself you should at least try to empathize with some of her situation. This romance business can be a really rough game for women in general.
