> I finally went to the dentist today. My new dentist's name is Dr. Payne--I chose to go to him because of his location, plus I wanted to tell people that my dentist's name is Dr. Payne. The visit went better than I hoped, but he still sent me home with a fistful of codeine pills.

Neat dentist's name. Codeine is fun. I had to take that when I had a lung infection. I slept for about three or four days straight, only getting up to eat, go to the bathroom, and take more medication.

It's the only opiate I've taken.

>Do any of you reading this plant gardens? My father is a botanist, and I've always wanted my own yard, where I could grow a ton of zucchini and chrysanthemums.

My wife and I have a neat garden box out back. Our apartment is in the back on the ground floor, so by courtesy of where our bedroom window faces, the backyard is ours. The only problem with the backyard is it was asphalted over some years back. So we built a six foot by six foot two-level garden bed.

The bed is full of a ton of dirt (I now know what a ton of dirt looks like). We also have a kid's swimming pool that we've filled with dirt and use that as a satellite garden.

Our garden is a herb and veggie garden. There's nothing like fresh herbs and green peppers (and cerranos!).

Good luck with yours. Just remember, plant about an eighth of the number of zucchinis you want and you'll get twice as many. Or something like that.

> I spent a timeon my website, and I am finally happy with it. It's exactly what I envisioned. I've never had this much success in creating exactly what I had in mind when I started.

The site's nice, but can I give you some advice (from several years of web site development)?

White on black text is very hard to read. Not as bad as red on black, but it's very straining on the eyes. Black on white is better, but black on a neutral grey (a light grey) is even better on the eyes.

Also, does your web provider make you place that text ad at the top of each page? It really messes up your left frame navigation. If the code can be placed on the bottom of the frame, that would be better.
