It seems they never get really dry if you rinse the inside of the heads. Does anybody have one of those salad spinners things? Do they work?

Yes, and yes. They don't leave the greens completely dry, but still much drier than whenever I tried to dry washed greens using a towel.

If the heat or AC is running, I've propped one up and set it over the floor register. Now that works!
OC, thanks for the comment. Yes, unfortunately I could afford to lose the pounds & actually wouldn't hurt to lose a few more. Finally have the cheekbones I always wanted in my 30's. Alas, I could care less in my 60's.
My sister-in-law has one of those spinners. They work great. I keep looking for one but haven't found it yet. I had one years ago & have no idea what I did with it.

Thanks to all of you. What a wonderful group of people here on C-D!

We've all had stomache troubles &I guess I kept hoplng it would go away. Sorry if I offended you.

You don't owe anyone on CD any personal information. But you're right, I am also MN/Norwegian/English and don't blab all personal things to friends & family much less to strangers. I have blabbed enough on this board. I hope your results come back OK - possibly an ulcer?

Thanks Umbria. Don't think it could be an ulcer. Isn't there supposed to be blood if it's an ulcer? Ah, who knows. I'll soon be off to deliver my sample so it will just be a waiting game until the tests come back.

Not all ulcers bleed - most can progress to a bleeding ulcer if uncared for. Good luck.

{{{{{Umbria}}}}} how the heck are you???


OMG
The plow attachment for a tractor that we sold on ebay got picked up today. The young man who bought it was foaming at the mouth when he saw all of our tractors. He wants to buy them all. We will have to go through them and see what we want for each one. If DH is willing to part with a goodly amount of them this will be a huge break for us rather than moving them. I am ecstatic.

CCc girl: GREAT news! I hope it all works out so that you don't have to move many of them.

Well I'm just ducky - you are an Ebay dynamo And an energizer bunny - send some of your zip my way (my zip zapped).

How lucky can you get to land on 1 guy to buy the whole shebang!!! You will save so much in moving expense.

Missed you when you were off line.

By the way, delivered the samples. The lab tech seemed concerned (maybe my imagination) & said it would take awhile but when she heard that I'd lost 30 lbs in such a short time slab, she said she'd try to get it expedited. Fingers crossed & on my knees in prayer, figuratively. If I got down may never get back up lol.
