Playing jacks on a dusty road Cars driving by with windows down soiling the air with the smell of gasoline Fearing dark came before the game of jump rope was over Fireflies in the late afternoon humidity Giggling from all the silly girls who liked the silly boys Putting on lipstick and trying to wipe it off before heading home The swoosh of brooms sweeping the dirt yards made by old ladies and used by all ladies My grandmother's voice calling, "soup's on" to let me know I need be washed and and home soon, at the table in 5 minutes. Running by the arbor so as not to waste time, my dress catching on thorns, and savoring the fragrance while freeing my dress without tearing, thus, hastening my grandmother's rage lest she have to do a patch job. Pulling the flower heads off the bushes to float in water on the dinner table by dim light so the room's fragrance was more floral and less salt pork and dried cooked beans Dreaming of a day I would wear proper roses in a corsage for a ball when prince charming came picked me up in his convertible, and we dined by candlelight at a table with the smell of roses and glow of love.

My guess is that either the power supply is putting out too low of a voltage, or the power monitor does not recoginze the correct voltage when it 'sees' it. What it means is probably a couple of hundred dollars.

An update on my comment from yesterday. It's not whether the door is going up or down that locks the remote out; rather it is time. The remote is locked out from activating the opener for 4.5 minutes after its last activation (up or down) -- exactly the duration of illumination of the lamp. So it appears that the controller is going into the mode where it locks out remotes after every activation, even though I do not have the multifunction door control panel. Rick

I don't like my shoes on the floor either. I used to store them on the shelf on a shoe rack above the closet rod which worked for me, until we added more shelving to the side of the closet. Now, they're all on slanted shelves, 3 pair to a shelf, and I can easily see the pair I'm going for. That's my favorite system to date, and since my dh didn't have any kind of ''system'' for his shoes, he adopted my former shoe shelves for his closet. It's working for him too, and eliminates the mess on the floor. I prefer to keep the floor space cleared, except for a scale that lives there, and when I sweep the bedroom floor, it's easy to hit the closet floor at the same time. Personally, I would hate steel hangers, but I realize everyone has different preferences. (My mom also likes slick fabrics to sleep in so she can get out of bed more easily! Maybe that's why TS likes them...it's easy to pull the clothes off the hangers.) The Ultra Slim hangers at Bed Bath and Beyond have worked very well to give me back much needed real estate in my very small closets. (I've had trouble with things falling off the hangers, so I also like the fact that clothes stay on.) My dh wasn't convinced until he moved our seasonal clothes from the basement to the closet, and finally realized how many more of my clothes he could move in one trip, compared to his. We just finished changing out the hangers in his closet so he would gain extra space as well. Before I had a dresser, I was hanging my jeans on open hangers. I particularly like these because I don't have to remove the hanger to grab my pants; I can just pull them off the open end of the hanger, which made them easier for me to use. It's working so well for me, I'm using the dresser for other ''things'' instead. I've been trying to decide on jewelry storage as well. I have a system for earrings, but those darned necklaces are tripping me up! I decided I think I like this one as it's dual-purpose because of the mirror, yet locks for when I'm away. (I was looking for something that locks for security.) That said, I've even considered mounting cup hooks on a strip of wood to the back of my closet, which would make it easy to choose which one to pick with what I'm wearing. That would certainly be more cost effective, although I wouldn't actually mind having an almost full-length mirror in the bedroom. Since it's your son's closet, you might think about what's easiest for him to manage...would he do better hanging or folding his clothes? Personally, I like hanging as much as I can, as I think it's easy to access. I've noticed that ''folders'' often tend to be very neat. For those of us who find that a little harder, I think hanging storage works well. Have fun. An organized closet is a beautiful thing to behold! Keeping it that way isn't hard if you have a good system in place.
