Hi Carol,

 CS> I see Sean piped up that I was right.  He's got major mold allergies.

I saw that too, in my catching up.

Sounds like a good idea to me.  It's supposed to get down to about 20
degrees tonight.  Good temps for curling up nest to a wood fire with a
cup of cocoa--but, then the wood fire would aggrevate my asthma.

Doing it the right way may take time but is much better in the long run.
I found out today I'll be having 7.5 weeks of radiation, beginning
probably next week.  Slow but should knock most everything out.  I'll be
glad I did all the freezer stocking I did so if I don't want to cook, I
don't have to.

 CS> once fully cleared of all mold spores.

Get rid of it all, then party away!

 CS> the door to the house and the one to the porch and ignore it, but that

Good idea.  We've got several months to stew over plans anyway.
