4247. judithathome - 6/30/2008 11:20:49 PM Jexter, so sorry about Sonny...just know and feel better that there is no pain for Sonny now. 4248. arkymalarky - 7/1/2008 12:20:46 AM Oh man, Judith, that's rough. 4249. jexster - 7/1/2008 12:33:57 AM Yeah they have a sixth sense don't they Judith! We're gonna take Sonny's ashes to Mount Tam State Park in Mill Valley just across the road from where he was born at some point
Just across the Bridge
 4250. jexster - 7/8/2008 2:17:41 AM Well that was quick. Sonny's remains arrived today and so did Sasha charcoal medium hair kitten about 12 weeks...SPCA makes you go thru an inteview, microchips the cat, gives you DVD on cat care...quite the operation they have.. 4251. thoughtful - 7/9/2008 4:46:30 PM So sorry about all the pet loss...so hard on us 2-legged friends left behind.
That is a fabulous picture, jex. Yowzah! 4252. thoughtful - 7/9/2008 4:47:54 PM Well after a 3 week delay for no good reason...it was a real communications snafu...we are finally moving ahead on our house project...the basement floor will be poured tomorrow and the framers arrive on Monday. Wahoo!
Next shots I post should include some wood. Yippe! 4253. arkymalarky - 7/9/2008 5:23:53 PM That will be cool! 4254. alistairConnor - 7/9/2008 9:07:08 PM Damn, Jex. I was going to send you a kitten by express (Fedex or DHL?) We've still got four running around the barn, completely feral, untouchable. The fifth one, we kidnapped (the girlfriend's son got him with a real old Tom and Jerry trick: box, stick, and string trap) to replace the suicidal adolescent that jumped from the 6th floor window. 4255. jexster - 7/10/2008 2:27:39 AM Yeah did I tell you that happened to me..6th floor window, roommate was keeping kitten for vacationing friend. Boy was I pissed..poor thing
We're getting along great, except she thinks I am a kitty condo...keeps leaping on my back..full claw 4256. wabbit - 7/10/2008 2:42:22 PM Jexster, I am so sorry to hear about Sonny, but I bet he had a great life with you. I'm very happy to hear about Sasha - not the full-claw thing, just happy that you have another kitteh. 4257. thoughtful - 7/12/2008 7:12:22 PM Question for Moties: Hubby and I are arguing about what sink to get in the kitchen...he wants a double bowl so he can wash on one side and put the dish rack in the other to dry dishes. I would prefer a large single bowl sink. My thinking is you can always use a dishpan to make the single into a 'double' but you have access to the large sink when you need it.
What do you think? 4258. arkymalarky - 7/12/2008 7:46:02 PM I have a double, but another thing about a double besides the wash/dry is that two people can be doing different things in different sinks at the same time--like if you're cutting veggies over the side with the garbage disposal. It just seems easier for two people to function in the kitchen with a double sink. But I must say honestly that Bob and I don't do a lot in the kitchen, individually or together. We need a dual microwave. ;-) 4259. arkymalarky - 7/12/2008 7:48:32 PM One thing I did in the kitchen that Bob thought was silly--he didn't like the way it looked--was the goose-necked faucet. His good friend up the road corrected him on why that was a good idea. 4260. thoughtful - 7/13/2008 2:40:36 PM OK, thanks. A lot seems to depend on how much and what kind of cooking you do. The double sink works great for mom, but she's by herself so doesn't have to cope with roasting pans and cookie sheets and such. I go crazy tho trying to clean the refrigerator guts without soaking the entire sink area. 4261. judithathome - 7/13/2008 3:39:12 PM Maybe you could find one of those that has a large one on one side and a smaller, higher one on the other. 4262. judithathome - 7/13/2008 3:40:22 PM Have the garbage disposal, if you get one (we didn't) installed under the higher one and it would save more cabinet space below, too. 4263. arkymalarky - 7/13/2008 5:56:46 PM I love those porcelain sinks with the drain built in. 4264. wonkers2 - 7/13/2008 7:22:00 PM We just put in a new kitchen with a double porcelain sink and a fancy faucet and liquid hand soap squirter. The left side (larger) measures 19x18.5 x 9 inches deep. The right side measures 16.5 x 11 x 7.75 inches. We like it. It's stamped on the bottom ALLIA, LIMOGES, FRANCE. 4265. judithathome - 7/14/2008 4:06:16 AM Ooooo-la-la! 4266. thoughtful - 7/14/2008 5:57:17 PM Wow Wonks!
We don't have a garbage disposal...we're on septic.
I thought we had a solution...large single sink with built-in drain board. But now I find to get that we need a 48" base and to keep the sink under the window it would mean we lose the lazy susan in the corner.
:(
The smaller sink with drainboard doesn't make sense. Most frustrating. I can see I'll just have to go into sink design like I have to go into appliance design to get what i want!
Ah the trials and tribulations of being a control freak...
