Thanks for that nice list, but could only find out that it are animals who live only in Northern America, so USA and Canada. As you could see in a previous message from ME in this echo, we only have two kinds of squirrels here in Europe. Will still try to go to the library and have a look in their books, maybe I can find there some picture/drawing from above animals. Keep you up informed. Greets.

I would suggest getting a professional steam cleaning and deodorizing job. If that doesn't do it, the seat pad will likely have to be replaced by an upholsterer. --- DLG Pro v1.16/DLGMail v2.63 * Origin: Techno-Mages Guild * ==> (619) 549-0278 <== * (1:202/720) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 208 HOME & GARDEN Ref: EAZ00000 Date: 06/26/97 From: JERRYL EVANEE Time: 03:50pm \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: Nasturtium seed collecing I would like to collect seeds this year from my own garden - but I have never attempted this before.

Whatever your colour selections are, I think that you need to have a darker ceiling than the colour you use for the walls. Light colours give a more spacious look, so, very light walls and a slightly darker ceiling.
