Our answer machine/phone has three settings for how many rings before the answering machine kicks on. 2/4/TS. 2 and 4 are obvious--for how many rings, but what do you think TS stands for. The phone is kinda old and I don't have the manual anymore....(It a southwest Bell if that matters.)

Ring Adjuster - 2, 6 or TS (Time Saver). TS = Answers after 2 rings if messages have been left, or 6 rings if no messages. This facility aids remote interrogation. i.e. When interrogating remotely, if the call is not answered after 2 rings, the caller can clear down knowing there are no messages and save the cost of a call.

Kitt, I visited Tucson a couple or so years back for a HS graduation and yeah it was hot, no surprise in May and I'd anticipate it in September as well. I found it to be a lovely city, what I did see of it and not too hard to drive around in.. I stayed near a friend and nagivated there and to meet up with someone for lunch and also to a Curves and of course I drove to and from Tucson from and to So Cal, via San Diego.

Actually TS = Toll Saver, at least on all the phones we have had present and past.

Anyone know any basic info on non hodgkins lymphoma? Like if a person is diagnosed with it, how "bad" is that? (Ie when some is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, that is very bad. Very low chance of recovery.)

This might be helpful Julie. But read the warning at the top of the page: http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=3961

Thanks. We just found out a very close family member has this. We will find more out on Tuesday when he sees the oncologist... Just when we were starting to get excited and feel good about the adoption being finalized (Which s/b in a few weeks), we were quickly brought down by this news.

Julieboo, I have non-hodgkins lymphoma. There are a bazillion different types, so until you know more, try not to worry yourself too much. I was diagnosed in 1996 and am still kicking despite what the doctors and literature said. I hope this family member gets more information and then seeks out specialists who will be team members with him/her. It is SO important that this family member know that their voice is equally as important as the doctor's. Best wishes.

Yes, my thoughts are with you too. I was shocked yesterday by the news a friend's sister has a kind of leg cancer that they found late stage, I don't want to imagine how I would feel if it was my family. Very glad you're still kicking Hukd.

Looking for help (a distraction while we wait til Tuesday...) Can you guys help me locate a christening gown, size 18 months (or close, maybe 12 mon, maybe 24). It would have to be tea length or a short one as she is walking and would trip on a long one... (I'd prefer tea length, but can't be picky as the timing is short.) I will need this in just over 2 weeks! I would like to pay under $30 if possible. Anyone who has a few minutes and can help me search, would surely be appreciated!!!! Thanks in advance!

I hate to interrupt Julie's question, but I was wondering if you all could help me out with something. How would I go about reporting illegal dumping (being done by a company on their property)? I was informed by one of their former employees (before he was "former") and he told me that they dump all motor oils, antifreezes, brake fluids, etc out back behind the business in an open field. I believe the field is their property, but this is a company surrounded by a wildlife refuge. Also, I think they are doing some illegal stuff regarding hour meters on all terrain vehicles. I think they unplug the hour meters, use the heck out of them, clean em up, plug the hour meters back in and sell them as new.

Escapee: It looks like many places have "report illegal dumping" forms online so perhaps you could do a search for one for your area. Otherwise, if this company is located in an incorporated area (meaning a city or town), I would contact the local city hall and ask who would handle such a complaint. It might be the Department of Natural Resources, the Water Department (since groundwater or nearby streams could be contaminated), Department of Conservation, or someone else, it depends. If they're out in a rural area, then the sheriff's department or county government might be your best bet. Is the wildlife refuge managed by anyone? Like the Parks Dept. or is it private? Because you could also check with them. Cheers to you for being a whistle blower!

Escapee, for federal maybe try the EPA? And California has so many environmental laws, I would think there would be some sort of violation there. Maybe try the District Attorney's office for your county. If they won't take the report, they might be able to direct you. Good work, Serate! Hey, Julieboo, can we vote on the ones we like? I hate to have you making an important decision like this without all of our opinions. Where is Herckleperckle when we need her? Remember when she posted like a gazillion wedding bouquets and a gazillion wedding dresses?

I was just coming back 'cause I realized I forgot to mention the EPA. Was thinking about them and then forgot to type it.

Calamity, you are turning me into an environmentalist. Maybe not a hard core one yet. I don't know about hugging trees or licking dirt like i've heard the hard core ones do...LOL.

Keep hanging with Calamity. She will have you hugging trees before you know it. And I don't mean that in a bad way ...
