Yay! I answered my own question. I found the link in the Op/Ed thread in News and Views and it was posted by CableJockey. Whew!

Hey, Landi, it dawned on me the other day that the little mark on my new wine glasses just means they are water glasses and not wine glasses. And maybe that is what you were trying to tell me, LOL.

NEW: What is the discoloration that forms on linens or other cloth that is stored over a period of time, is it toxic, and can it be removed?

Linens yellow with age. Usually, there's nothing you can do about it. It's like really old lace... it started out light cream colored and ends up a yellowish cream color 50 years later. If the item can be bleached, you can try that. If it's a grey color... do you live near a busy road? Sometimes, road dust can accumulate on the edges of linens (and shoulders of clothing hanging in a closet). It's just dirt, and can usually wash out.

Landi, I know about Riedels. They are very nice. Question was if the little mark on the bottom of the glasses is meant to signify that they are water glasses. I guess I didn't word that right. Just curious. And of course I don't care if I drink wine out of water glasses. Hell, I have sipped it out of plenty of plastic cups. Urgrace, I have always called them climate stains. They seem to be more prevalent in hot and humid places like Texas. Sometimes they come out, sometimes they don't, usually don't. But maybe you can Google climate stains and come up with something.

Thanks Costa and Juju. Seems the solution is a color-safe bleach over a period of days.

Can you guys give me some tips on how to figure out what to do with some old 78 records? I am trying to figure out who, what or how to get rid of them. Have no clue if they have any value, my Mom had them and now I am moving and want to move them on to someone who will want and love to have them. Thanks!! Oh and I don't really want to do the Ebay thing, don't have the time.

dipo there is a place on Contra Costa Blvd. in Pleasant Hill that sells things on Ebay for you. takes a commission and gives you the rest. you should check it out! it is on the same side of the street that Toys R Us is, and it is just south of that, right next to a big bank on the corner.

DD needs homework help. She needs a slogan for copper. Some kind of ad slogan and we're having a hard time coming up with something catchy. Any ideas?

1. Anyone know anything about Canadian EI benefits? I'm currently on EI while I look for a new job. My grandmother passed away in January and I'm about two weeks away from receiving a hefty inheritance (approx. $25k). I know I'm required to 'report all monies from employment..." but I'm terrified that the gov't is going to expect that I live off of this inheritance. Are there any clauses that stipulate that inheritance is not technically "income"? 2. When my father passed two years ago, he left a very large coin and stamp collection. Any collectors out there?? We've decided to sell, but want to appraise it first. Any first step recommendations? TIA on both questions!

Anybody know how to clean ceramic tile floors? I've looked up on the internet and most say just plain water. Not comfortable with that in the bathroom, esp around the toidy bowl.

I don't know who manufactured it. It was here when we moved in. But I guess I could just contact any company with low end ceramic tile and see what they recommend. Thanks Costa for the idea! That's why every thing we do to this house, ceiling fans, new appliances, paint, whatever, I'm keeping track of the type, location bought, owners manual if there is one, and I'll leave it when we move from this house. I would LOVE to know the exact color of the living room as I like it but it needs touched up or repainted. I'm just going to have to use the closest match I can find and hope it looks the same.
