Susan -- went all the way back to ones from several days ago (very far behind in my email what with working with my ill husband, getting him moved to handicap-accessible apartment, etc. -- was this info you found "in 5 minutes" from a new message you got through the Sandidge-L messages? I didn't have it if this is the case -- OR Did you find this in the archives of messages of the Sandidge-L list? I am assuming it was from the archives since I didn't have the message myself. Just curious. Off the subject -- I had been praying for some type of help so my husband could get around in his wheelchair (now tumor is growing on spine and nerves that handle the legs, etc) and our old house is NOT able to handle a wheelchair (the doorways too small, etc. Just about this time an ad appeared in a paper I never even look at and it just "jumped right out at me" saying they had 2 handicap-accessible apartments -- and this was just a couple blocks from my own house. My son will be "renting" my house so I can rent this one -- it is MARVELOUS although very small for the monthly rent -- one bedroom. The cabinets have these buttons you press and it goes down to where a person sitting in wheelchair can reach out can goods, dishes, etc. Then raise again. Same with the stove and kitchen sink. LOTS of room with bars, etc in the bathroom, etc. Never knew they had such wonderful things now for wheel-chair persons. It was a truly blessing and we have moved him there now (although my computer is still at house but so is washing machine, dryer, etc. so "catching up" on email until they can move the computer (he has to have his games to play) while doing a load of laundry. Just thought I would mention this since as we get older or are care-takers for the elderly it is nice to know these things exist -- whether you have to install them yourself in your own home or are looking for a place like this to rent for the last years of their lives, etc. Judy M.
