There's a blue terrier which is kind of blue, but I'd call it grey really. Maybe it's like that. Or it's a poodle and they've dyed it!

Like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ch-Catahoula.jpg Often found on Aussies, heelers, catahoula's and even some border collies. I had a blue merle healer, he was gorgeous

Can anyone help with this. I have no idea how to set the "moisture control slides" in the two bins at the bottom of my refrigerator. Anyone know what fruits/vegs should go in the "low" side and which in the "high". I just bought $8 of lovely Florida strawberries and another ton of fruit which will take me days to eat so want to store it as well as possible. I do use the green bags, btw.

Holly this article says Most berries should be shelved, either in a paper bag or else covered in plastic, and the stems should be left on until ready to eat. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/6601/proper_food_storage_tips_pg2.html?cat=22

Here's another article that says how to keep fruits and veggies in the fridge. http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/printDS/131388

BUT nothing I've found so far says how to use the little slidy things. Maybe if I went and checked our manual....

Thanks Serate. I think it might be in the manual. I just can't find mine anywhere. Figures! That info seems hard to find online, which is surprising.

You open the slidey thing for drier veg, like onions or hard squashes. You close the slidey thing for when you want to retain moisture, like lettuce or softer veg... I am guessing the fruit would go in the softer veg side (higher moisture) but I always keep mine lightly bagged.

You know, I had been wondering for a while (OK 2 years....since I moved into my current house) what to put in the hydrator drawer and what to put in the crisper, but never looked into it. So lettuce should go in the hydrator instead of the crisper? And should harder fruit, like apples, go in the crisper? There's all that room on the drawer fronts...they could give you cheat notes!

Hydrator drawer? If we have one, and it's actually one of the drawers I call the crisper drawers, bottled water goes there. *L*

OK so when I posted the article above from the Arizona Star, it worked. Now it doesn't. It said something about apples.

It's working for me Serate!!! And it is helpful, but they need to add in that hydrator drawer! It has confused me to the point that I haven't really used it. Crispers I thought I understood...though I am reconsidering that now. Gee, I may have to go and get my manual out. If I can find it. I think it is in my plasticware cabinet....which is in such bad shape that when I open the door, things fall out.

if you cannot find your manual, most manuals are online under the manufacturer. when i haven't been able to find mine, i always just look up the .pdf file.

I have found that everything lasts longer when I have the slidey thing on high, but I just looked at my fridge and there is an apple drawing next to low. So maybe veggies are on high and fruit is on low.

Sugar, LOL!! Thanks Kitt! I'll think about spraying, but I think I would make a huge mess!! I have to also look into brushing or (small) rolling...

That's what I thought too... my parents's home has a long wooden banister painted by my dad with a regular (inch wide?) brush and regular gloss paint and it's always looked fine to me!

I need some information. So far noone I've talked to this morning has ever heard of this so I'm not feeling completely dumb. My niece had labor induction this morning and her forewater broke. Did anyone else know that there are two sacs of water? Just got a text from my sister and her second sac - hindwater - just broke.

NT I had never heard of it before either. Here's something I found on it. [If you follow the link you have to go way down the page to find this - it's a bunch of questions/answers.] While you are pregnant, your body is constantly making amniotic fluid to surround and cushion your baby and to provide sealed protection against invading bacteria. The fluid is held in place by a two-layered sac, commonly called the membranes. When your membranes break 'rupture') the amniotic fluid 'waters') will leak out. The membranes can break in several different ways, Most commonly they break at the very bottom of your uterus (called the forewaters), due to pressure from your baby's head with labor contractions, and there is usually a big gush. This most commonly happens towards the end of labor but can also signal the beginning of labor. Membranes can also rupture higher up, commonly called a hindwater rupture or leak. A hindwater leak dose not usually gush, but can be a slow, prolonged trickle, which is most likely your situation. For around 10% of women, the membranes will rupture at term but labor does not begin. This is called a prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM). http://www.mothering.com/sections/experts/buckley-archive4.html

Serate, thanks. That the best explanation I've seen. Now, it looks they will have to do a c-section because McKenna is in breach position.
