My question is simply "why?" No sarcasm, it's a serious question. The reason I ask is that you're installing two multi-function shower heads that are similar in the types of sprays that they provide. If you want the handheld to be able to rinse the walls of the shower, then I'd just install the handheld on a vertical bar. As to the dimensions of the shower, the 30" dimension is tight, as 30" is the minimum allowed by code. The 1-1/4" is fine. Walls are usually 1/2" cement board. Adding 3/8th inch wall tile and 1/8th inch of thinset yields a total wall thickness of one inch. Mongo

Things that come to mind are built in hampers, vanity table or maybe even an extra washing machine for dirty sports clothes. If the room is big, separate the toilet area if you haven't already thought of that. Re the hampers--do two of them--one for darks and one for lights--that was one of our best decisions--no more separating laundry. I would make sure you have lots of room for towel bars and extra hooks.

Great package! So, IÂm trying to figure out how to use the jar rack!! LOL! The labels are always handy! IÂve never heard of a lettuce knife. I love that wavy knife. I think thatÂs a gadget I need! The tea and minestrone sound great! The bruschetta and mustard would be gobbled up in our house!! Linda, that glass is just gorgeous! I canÂt believe you made that! Wow! Katie! Enjoy! Great job Linda!!

I was the one who didn't want kids, but here I am, w/ three little boys of my own. Dh wanted kids - has three grown that he had w/ the wrong woman; I raised my 3 Dear Nephews largely. Anyway, he wanted me more than more kids, I guess, and we wed - I was 33, he was 52. On our third anniversary, we brought home DS #1 - a second followed two years later and an unasked for blessing appeared 2 mos. after I turned 40. My point is that he may change his mind. For me, it was a change when I turned 35 and I saw the damage done to my skids by their BM, and I faced difficulties w/ my DNs as I was not the parent - paid for everything, but wasn't the parent and my hands were tied. My DNs opened up that unconditional love that kids do in a person, and as I got on in age, began to realize that I did want children in my future. Your age isn't on your side, but you've several good years left, so don't panic just yet. Anyway, if you really want a child, then there is a plan for you. This thing called motherhood is a selfless journey, but we need more women called to it rather than doing it for the wrong reasons. Do a little soul searching during this time alone. If you feel compelled to have a baby on your own, then do it. There may be a bigger, better plan for you right around the corner - someone waiting w/ your ideas, etc. Open yourself up to that. Frankly, I'd gladly go it alone rather than be w/ someone who didn't want what was so important to me. And, you are absolutely correct: you WOULD resent him in the future, no doubt. I applaud your courage for ending it rather than trapping this man or settling. For me, having the stepkids would never, ever be able to come close to having my own kids, though we didn't have a great start. My DNs, however, 100% could have fulfilled my motherly instincts. My skids were teens when we married and I came on the scene when my DNs were quite young, so maybe that's part of it. But...those newborn days are just priceless. That baby will be the only thing or person you will ever gladly lay down your life for before ever setting your eyes on him/her... All the best, Dana
