Hi Joan,

Yes, but now he's talking of getting me a new desk top set up when we
move.  I half suspect it will go in the same room as my sewing stuff so
we can link the embroidery system to the computer.

That would be good. At Fort Hood I had a half double and a narrow deep
sink set up in the kitchen.  That was a major pain in and of itself.

Good idea.  After our disposal gave us trouble (only to find it was a
broken pipe), we've almost stopped using it.  The guys that fixed the
back up told us that most things that are sent down the average disposal
aren't good for it, really, those things are almost useless for what
should not be put down (the majority of your waste stuff).

I thought sinks were fairly standard, at least to a certain extent.
That's why there are sink cut outs in floor based cabinet units.  Most
of the unusual looking sinks are for the bathroom.

No moans and groans about the number of Joans? (G)
