Me, too, Cathy; that's what I'd 'prefer.'

I really don't see too much choice anywhere I go - same ole stuff. Take
a look at www.fantes.com Now when have I ever been in a store like that!
On-line one can see dozens of versions of one type of item of choice. If I
had to go check out that one choice at a kitchen store, I'd never find it,
so it's worth taking the chance for me.

I've bought loads of kitchen stuff on-line, and I recommend it; but I do get
disappointed sometimes, less than what one would expect, tho.

I'd never buy much at all if all I had was W-S, Linens 'n, and Kohl's,
Penny's, Sears and the like - there's a Macy's a long ways away and a couple
of outlets about a hundred miles away, but it's the same ole crap.
