==Dogs and food== 
 Well, I've gone over to the food-related area from time to time and tried to make sense out of the dishware/kitchenware/utensils/etc. stuff. I think this it the third time I've really hacked around in it in the last year or so, and I think it's all starting to come together. But of course in the process one lands on related categories, looking for missing articles, and one starts to see things that shouldn't be in THAT category, but should be in THIS one, and then when one starts looking at THIS category, then one sees...   but there ya go, that's what WP does to one. 

 I've seen your name all over my watchlist recently with, hmm, I think list of fictional dogs?, so it's kind of funny that all of a sudden I'm showing up on yours. -) 

 Losing a dog early to cancer sucks, and that's just that.  OK, losing any dog just sucks.  I'm on dogs #4, 5, and 6 now, so I've gone through losing 3 over the last dozen years, and it doesn't matter whether they die of old age at 17 or at 9 of cancer.  Bleah. 

 ANYWAY, to create your own sandbox, you can also do something like type in your user page (or talk page)  like this:  and then preview or save the page where you typed it and then just click on that link, edit, and go. Ta-da!
