I've seen it (g).. don't have that one though... have dns/bind in a nutshell..
comes in handy. Check online, maybe one of the tutorials will be what you're
looking for... or if you have any questions, lemme know. I've dealt with
various setups here. (email or netmail probably better (g))

Understand.. Italian cheeses are varied.. some are really strong. Some like
parmesean are pretty darn mild.. I used to hate it (laugh)..

Yep, I know it's nice there (smile).. Hey, it's gonna be 50F Saturday (or so
"they" say [vbg]) and 50F on Sunday as well.. Time to get ready to plant the
peas on March 17th hehe :) :) I'm hoping to do it then.. I'll just plunk the
seeds down in the bed right through whatever.. Not going to mess with the dirt
yet otherwise..the snow is gone now, but if we get any between now and then
(which I can't imagine) it won't matter at all :)

That's interesting.. I'll have to pay more attention, next time we stop in

I guess I learned the hard way when ALL of my cookbooks were lost by the movers
when we first moved from NY to Louisville.. I was absolutely crushed when we
arrived in KY and those books were gone.. those and all my gardening books
too.. but guess what.. Louisville had the most outrageous "old cookbook" store
(2nd hand books) and I was able to replace just about every single one of those
cookbooks for about 50 cents a book..it was incredible. The gardening books
were not so easily replaced, but my one favorite one I was able to dig up and
reorder.. and that's all I really cared about (grin).. So since then I figure,
I did it once and survived so... (grin)

That's neat.. my joy of cooking cookbook is like that.. ragged and thumb eared

Yeah :( poor little girl.. I made sure Alana kept Tazi upstairs as soon as I
noticed Tina wasn't well though. I told her I thought Tina was sick and wasn't
sure what was going on so she should make sure Tazi stayed up there until we
got Tina to the Vet.. just in case it was something she could pass on to Taz..
though they were both up on their shots, I still worried it could be some weird
crap.. and the thing with Priscilla was totally freaking me out. Anyway, Tazi
is fine and walking around like she owns the place.. ain't that just like a cat
(sigh).

Yeah .. I gotta get this dog to lose weight.. this problem with her larynx is
often seen in "overweight" dogs :( Now she's been on 'diet' dog food for ages
and can't lose weight.. so now what? diet of bread and water? (g) Maybe the vet
will have some ideas, have an app't next week again. He wants to see Priscilla
before he fills her antivert prescription again (anti-dizzy pill).
