what style? contemporary? traditional? and how much do you want to spend?

I'd like it to go with the desk that's in the corner of the kitchen across from the island and next to the bar. Expandable file folders aren't cutting it anymore. I suppose it's more of a traditional style, but I don't want it to be obvious that it's a filing cabinet. Ideally, I'd want to spend no more than $150, but the $100 range would be perfect.

but nothing beat 25 years of baseball paraphernalia. I love that library (even more now).

That fellow has a job with the Orioles giving tours of the stadium. He's living his dream.

He bled to death on the way. Even if some of them had stayed behind so that he could lie down in the car with a tourniquet, my understanding is that he likely would have made it. They just did every single thing wrong.

People are dumb. Don't most people have to take a health class in high school? Don't all high school health classes teach you that excessive bleeding from a limb must be stopped with a tourniquet?

Does he really? That is awesome. And it created a spot for you. Win-win all around.

Vortex, thanks for the links. That's the general idea of what I'm looking for.

Out the door now. Really. I'm late. (Quelle suprise!)

Don't all high school health classes teach you that excessive bleeding from a limb must be stopped with a tourniquet?

Actually my recent first aid course for Little League discouraged using a tourniquet because (a) it causes a lot of damage; (b) you really should only use if if you have to lose the limb to save the life. Direct pressure is better.

Direct pressure and elevation.

Oh yeah - I remember hearing that. Is that direct pressure on the wound? or on the artery above it?

Anyway, a general rule of thumb that everyone should know is, "If you bleed too much you will die."

An alternative to Buffista Island could be a Buffista Planet: [link]

For the first time astronomers have discovered a planet outside our solar system that is potentially habitable, with Earth-like temperatures, a find researchers described Tuesday as a big step in the search for "life in the universe."

Maria, I've seen some antique filing-ish cabinets recently, but I don't recall the pricing. Probably in an antique store in Ellicott City. There's one place with that writing desk that is still taunting me. Except the front is too...baroque. Chunky curved front detailing, where I prefer something simpler and more delicate. I can't spend $350 on something that I'm gonna think "I hate those legs" every time I see it. But the functional design is exactly what I've been looking for. Ahrg.

I wish I could convince mom's friend to part with her writing desk. It's tall and spindly, with an brown black finish that's crackled on the unused surfaces. It came from her husband's great-grandfather, who was a ship's captain so I'm pretty certain it's gonna stay in the family and I'm SOL. When I housesat for her, I wrote longhand letters at it, just because. It was that kind of desk.
