I have been thinking of her daily and wondering how she is doing.
Hope she checks in and can come back to visit us soon.

Has anyone heard about Norton Safe Web Lite?

Hi Owbist and Raven, Thank you for your information. The Norton Safe Web Lite popped up on my computer and I decided to try it to see what it does and to my surprise I see no problems with it and it shows on the side of all of the websites if it is safe or questionable. The good ones have a checkmark inside the color green and the questionable ones are in gray, so I stay away from those. I like this kind of thing because I have often wondered about accidently clicking on something in a search and getting hit with something I wouldn't want. This way it gives me something to judge by. I have Norton Antivirus on this computer, so I thought why not try theirs first. I will save your info Raven just in case I would need to change to it. Thanks again and I sure hope you all had a wonderful holiday. thirdfrt!!!

Has Anyone Heard Anything From Moni??

Sandi in IA. I've traveled through OK a lot in the past going from Dallas/Ft Forth area to Mn. The Red River Valley is aptly named for the red color of the water of the Red River on the border of Tx and OK. The soil is very red in that whole area. Most of OK sits in what is called the Red Basin, geological term. My husbands family has ties to that area. My husband actually has inherited % of a few mineral rights on a few oil wells, like .000001%. He is lucky if he gets a total of $500 per year. Wow, if he actually had a full 1% could retire. I tease him about it, call him my oil baron.

Has anyone heard about this? "Homes shifting due to drought"
Q
Comments (22)
yes. There was a news item on my local ISP site. It was said that most of the probelms were fro houses siting on mostly clay soils. Not a lot of detail was given, but I know rom expereince that clayey soils do shrink a lot u pon moisture loss. I don't think that houses with deep foundations such as those with basements are having as much trouble. Those houses are getting some crack from normal minor settling. I envision real problems developing from the following conditions: 1. No bsement, houses on slabs. Often, these have shallow foundations, and some inexpensive slab buildings depend a lot on the slab itself for support. 2. Soil unde a slab not consisent from end to end, for example, all clay at one end with a mix of clay ans humus at the other end. These two soils will shrink at different rates and bend/crack slabs. 3. You can expect trouble if a slab foundation is placed on fill that has not been thoroughly compacted. Making a significent depth fill and then compacting only the top surface is not adequate. The fill should be compacted as fill is added in layers, say no more than 3 to 4 inches deep. Effective fill has to be compacted as it is built up. 4. Building codes around here require that excavation for footings must go below the frost line and reach undisturbed soil, whichever is the deeper. If this is not done, footings can settle unevenly. The goal is little to no settling. 5. Footings can settle differently if one end of a building is much heavier than the opposite end and this was not accounted for in the footings. For example, one end of a house could have a full masonary fireplace and be two to three storeys tall while the other end of the house is only one story.

Saturday update:I did call Patti, this morning, and this afternoon, leaving a message the first time. Told her we at the KT miss her, and if she or a relative has the time, to please call me.
I also sent an email the other day.

Prayers for Patti and hoping we will hear something.

I haven't heard back from her either, since I wrote last weekend.

I worry, since she's alone. We don't know if she's had more surgery or what's going on.

It's just not like Patti to not let us know something. I am very worried and hope it is not something negative but instead positive like she is out looking at houses or something.
