From: paul stenquist My daughter's second chemo session is scheduled for Friday. I take her to the hospital and pick her up when she's finished, so I had to cancel my GFM reservation. Once again. In any case, they refunded my money with a smile, as always. So a spot has opened up, although I

Re: Peso: Odd country sighting

Nasty stuff. Handled a few in my day. Good for spreading Brie on crackers too. The holes in it made it good for stirring soups. I left my last one in a cabinet in New Hampshire next to the 1 kilo brown bottle of DDT and the Rose Powder. On Jun 2, 2009, at 16:03 , John Sessoms wrote: Adver

Re: got the K7 in my hot little hands

Steve, I'm not Doug either, but I did fondle the K-7 on Saturday. Nothing is as small as the DS, but the K-7 is smaller and sharper angled than the K10 or K20.
