OA, pretty cool, the only thing to change is the size of the cells. If you go to the top, and put your curser on one of the lines at the edge of the cell, and drag the curser, it will enlarge the cell so the words don't overflow into the next cell, plus if you have a more wordy description it will now fit. I am glad you knew how to do an attachment of the excel like this, I could not figure out how to "show" it to you all. thanks! PS, the excel in the example that I use is just a guide line for me, you can adjust it to your own personal needs.

We recently got the Kellet pads for our Bosch 2005 Premium washer, and they have made all of the difference in the world. Our w/d are situated in a first floor laundry alcove over a crawlspace and we had reenforced the lineoleum-covered hardwood with 3/4 inch plywood, and used spin levels no higher than 900, tilted the machine slightly backwards and releveled each leg, never filled the machine more than 3/4 full, and, shaking our heads, followed Bosch's advice after 5 service visits for vibration and actually used double-sided tape (I still can't believe that this was their solution...) Nothing markedly reduced the vibration and once a year, we landed up having to undo the slow walking that machine had done to get cozy with the dryer. I figured the investment of under $30 would be worth it for a try, and it definitely was. My service guy came out to see how they worked and didn't charge for installing them himself, and his company now is going to keep some in stock and recommend them for FL machines. The comment one poster made above seemingly outrageous shipping costs makes little sense to me- at Kellet's recommendation, I used UPS ground for about $8 (less than the price of gas if I were to be able to find them somewhere locally) and they arrived well within 48 hours of my pleasant phone call to them. They are a family-run company with exceptional customer service and I recommend them highly.

This thread is hysterical and so timely now that the holidays will soon be upon us. Fortunately I haven't received too many hideous gifts...at least not from friends or relatives who live near me. My aunt across country will never know I never used the afghan she made me for my wedding 25 years ago. However I'm too sentimental to give it away because I know how much work went into it so it sits in a box in the back of my linen closet. My husband can't understand why I keep it and once jokingly said "Some day we'll be old enough for it" Ouch. Really depends on what it is, some things end up like the afghan, others go to an out of the way shelf or cabinet for a short time. Some will get returned especially if they came with a gift receipt. If it's from someone like my sister we're OK with saying hate it take it back. And I'm OK with straight to the Goodwill. Never burned or displayed any gift when the giver came to visit. Every year a few girlfriends and I take turns hosting a holiday lunch. We do a small secret Santa gift exchange and the last few years we added a "pink elephant" gag gift exchange. A strange, funny or hideous item that can be new, old regifted, you name it. Usually wrapped beautifully on the outside and a horror on the inside. You get the change to steal before opening and after and it's become a hightlight of our gathering. Usually I choose by the wrap and walk away with a beautiful gift bag or box I'll definitly use again, but sometime it's true that one person's trash is another's treasure because I can't believe some of the crap the girls have coveted!

I honestly don't see what the problem is with unisex bathrooms. I've used porta-potties at construction sites that were cleaner than some retailers toilets. Gas stations often have uni bathrooms inside, a lot more restaurants are moving that way too. As for doing #2 in public-I'm in an office all day. After the 2nd cup of coffee you KNOW there is going to be use of that toilet. And I'm not ashamed to use the restroom there. I'm probably a lot more comfortable with bodily functions than a lot of the posters here-and I feel that a lot of our queasiness is due to social upbringing. I am conscientious of odors (use spray) and I apologize if sounds are made and i know someone else is in there also. I also make it a point to double flush-just to ensure cleanliness for the next person. But I'm an adult-I know that everyone poops! I'd sure hate to think of holding it in-the damage to my digestive system alone would be reason not to. I've actually run in to one transgender person in a restroom-this was years ago and at first, I'll admit, I was a bit put off (it was at a rest stop off the freeway-not one of the safest places) but after I thought about it-she was dressed in a dress with hose, had her hair done and make up-obviously identified as a woman. She would not have been safe at all in the mens room-and seemed more nervous about being in the womens room than the women in there were of her. I've never taken the idea that a man would dress as a woman just to go into a womens room. For crying out loud-if they're going to be a predator-they're just going to go in when it's clear and hide in a stall.
