How do I figure out what programs *need*
Comments (5)Startup programs vary by manufacturer and platform. All very subjective at times also. I can run a Hijack This and chop all manner of "seemingly" unnecessary startups out of a system and have it perform really well, only to have a callback about "such-and-such" that isn't there any more. Laptops especially can have a lot of things running that may not appear on a desktop simply due to the nature of the hardware. Of course those very same machines can have a boatload of trialware included in the image, as say, the Sony Vaios did. It is a matter of first understanding the scan from a utility like Hijack This and then actioning according to YOUR expectations. I guess that's why there are forums such as this!...See MoreI figured out what I want to do with my small bathroom!!
Comments (9)I'm not sure why a local cabinet shop couldn't make what you want if you get the specs and do scaled drawings to review with them and refine the construction aspects. There's some similar things in the link here, but I didn't check into sizing. I'm not sure why the "concept" would be different for a cabinet maker. It looks like frameless construction, which I'm sure all shops are doing now. The only confusing thing for me is the toilet cabinet. Maybe it's designed to fit over the tank. Dunno. Here is a link that might be useful: interesting...See MoreDo I really need ventilation over my gas range?
Comments (42)Judy - those cupcakes look yummy! I'm in your camp. The kitchen we are remodeling had a old vented hood. In the 7 years I have lived here, I think I turned it on maybe 2 or 3 times & that usually involved a toaster incident lol... I also cook plenty but like you, don't deep fry or sear/broil very often & use just small amounts of olive oil or butter when needed and not at high heat. I never had a problem with any grease build up or other gunk & I don't really find food smells offensive (well except when I was pregnant, but those days are over). This time around, I'm going with an OTR micro, b/c my counter space is limited & I hated that the big clunker was taking up so much of my precious counter space. (I'm now trying to figure out where I can hide my toaster oven for the same reason). I'm guessing I won't use the vent much this time around either - When we sell in 10-15 yrs - our kitchen will probably be getting to that "outdated" state anyway & will be redone again - the venting to outside is in place if they want to change back to a hood - but for me, this is just fine......See MoreI need help figuring out why my tomato leaves are looking dark
Comments (6)Thank you... and no I didn't repot it. Tried taking pics in a shadier spot but my camera wasn't picking up on the dark colors on the leaves as good. I did notice after posting this that if I look at the bottom of the leaves that the veins are dark also. I have only had it about 2.5 weeks so it's still pretty new to me. I know that before I purchased it they had just given it some plant food, mirical grow for vegetables I believe, and I had completely forgot about picking some up, I've never used it before, so I was wondering if that could be part of the problem. It was used to getting some sort of plant food once a week from what they said and then after it came home to live on my deck it hasn't had any, but I get paid tomorrow so I'll be picking some up then. Any suggestions on what would be the best kind to get?...See Morewogamax
