Since my interest and query was primarily concerning CHEER Powder, I'll continue with that. Cynic's link: Buy Cheer from an Online Retailer. We don't sell Cheer directly on this site, but you can shop with confidence from our trusted online retail partners. Followed by: There are currently no online retailers available for this product. I have checked at several local stores, and haven't found any. Actually, I rarely shop at WalMart, but was there to pick up some film I had developed. I have emailed p&g and asked point blank if they have stopped making CHEER Powdered detergent. I have not received a reply. Something else I find interesting is that on each picture I see of a box of the powdered, the writing is in Spanish. I have found the best place to find the best deal is at Amazon. 80 loads–112 oz. $26.50, free shipping for orders over $35.00. CHEER and a couple pairs of socks. Can't beat that. Sue

Until my arthritic wrists and fingers cannot hold a book at all, the web will not be a substitute. I suspect, no I am sure, that the people here on GW who are encyclopedic in their knowledge learn, learned, and re-learned from books (as well as experience and the web) Is it a generational thing, this difference between learning from reading a book and learning from the web? There's a lot to gry_'s comment about finding something again on the web (though one can become more skilled at bookmarking) and findiing it in a familiar book. The book can carry physical evidence of experience: the soiled pages of a frequently turned to topic (like my brownies, roast turkey and bread recipes in my first cook book; you could boil the book and get the nutritional equivalent of a meal) The penned notations in the margin (really, did my handwriting look like that 20 years ago) I really don't think I'd remember Dirr's comment about the edibility of the Kousa dogwood fruit "I'd rather have a Snickers" if I hadn't read it dozens of times over the years. Dirr's books are bedside reading all winter. Alas, the encyclopedias were actually too heavy for me to hold comfortably.. I think I'll need an adaptive pillow or tray to get through this winter. I love the internet; I spend a lot of time on it. But I suspect way deep down that I believe the learning from access to so much information is somehow inferior to learning from books. I think that's wrong and the wrongness will be proved repeatedly from research. But I'm talkiing about a prejudice born of hours of learning since childhood how to parse info in books, assimilate it and reorganize it for one's own use.....or come up with an original idea of one's own! What a great question!

Hard to understand what you are talking about. You say this is AC only, in which the AC won't come on in HEAT. But you claim voltage on a reversing valve. AC only doesn't have a reversing valve, only Heat Pumps. So is this a heat pump or an AC?

I don't like to eat at the kind of places where they don't clean the booths. You can usually tell whether it's clean or not, including the crack. Same for the underside of the table. And don't get me started on the menus! It's just a ewww factor. It's unlikely to be damaging, diseased dirt, but if they can't keep the dining room clean, what does that say about the kitchen? I like booths, however. A lot of the chairs in restaurants are chosen for price rather than comfort, and a lot of them don't sit well. This also helps them turn tables, of course, but I hate having a ridge pressing into my thigh, or a back that leans forward to "hug" me, or any of that kind of thing. If it's a comfortable chair, I prefer it. Otherwise, I'm glad of a booth if it's well designed, clean and in good repair. (I should mention that I had a table in my dining room for three years before I found chairs. I'm very picky about chairs in general.)
