The Kitchen Table

Do you know anything about this?

15 years ago

A friend of mine said she wanted one of these things but I can't find it or know what it is. She said she saw it in the American Profile Newspaper magazine, in the Garden shop section. It is a Lavender smelling heat type pad that goes in the microwave. She remembers the figure of 40, that could be the price or dimensions. I can make it if I knew how big it was and the details. Can anyone help with the info? Thanks

I need to find the exact one she wants, it could be a blanket for all I know. It was in the garden shop/center part of the paper from what I understood. She's old and a bit confused. I was thinking someone may have saw it advertised.

Do you know anything about this computer?

I recently bought a Dell 660s with Windows 7. I was seriously considering HP, but at the time I was ready to buy, the only new HP desktops I found came with Windows 8. Just chiming in with 2 cents more..Like some others here, I felt it was time to get a new computer, as my husband's is rather old and running XP, and I don't like Windows 8. My old PC is a Dell Inspiron 560, which my husband will get to replace his, and I have the Dell Inspiron 660s. Both Inspirons are running Windows 7, my hope being to hold out until Windows 9, if it is more to my liking than "'8" and I live so long (I am an old lady already, though not retired!) This may well be our last Dell. Our last 4 or 5 computers were Dells, and we have not had any trouble with them. BUT, this time I found it very frustrating to make a recovery disk in case I need to return to factory condition. The Dell Insp. 560 made that easy with a prompt right at set-up. This time, I had to search through some programs Dell had set up, one part of which, by the way, referred to clicking on a "tile," although this is a Win 7 machine. Then I got a message that some necessary file(s) had not gotten installed correctly (that would be at the factory!), so I had to download and install them, and they didn't appear in my PC for some time, so I didn't know if I had succeeded or not. Finally, an icon appeared that allowed me to make the restore disk. Particularly frustrating was the way certain explanations from Dell would tell all about the restore disk and other things, but not contain a button to click to actually DO them. That is possibly the fault of the faulty software installation I mentioned. Whatever...this experience has really soured me on Dell. Next time I will probably be looking for other recommendations here.

Let me put it this way-- I didn't know the name of it, but Stone Tech's a reputable company, and I've been recommending ph neutral cleaners from companies such as Stone Tech for a long time. :-)

Do you know anything about Oxalis Triangularis

Al, firstly, why do you assume that my intentions were to hurt you? That is not very charitable; I assumed your tone was light and kept to that. - 'I would confiscate her (oxalis) plants' - I only mentioned your mother because she was part of the discussion, which my father certainly wasn't. I did genuinely feel for your mother, though; it appears she only had her plant for five months out of the usual twelve in which one can enjoy Oxalis regnellii aka triangularis. I have personal experience of growing this plant, longer than yours, for obvious reasons, since you only allow them a few months of active life annually. It is not necessary to give this oxalis a resting period, and it will often actively resist this if you try. If it appears to get tired, more likely from not being watered correctly or otherwise cherished (they do like the odd feed or renewed soil), it can be magically revived by trimming the foliage back, repotting and replacing where it grew happily before. People have enjoyed this plant almost continuously for years on end, and according to their own testimonies they often have them much longer than other houseplants. Now there are oxalises with bulbs or other storage organs which do appreciate a resting period (I think particularly those originating in South Africa), but as one of the most beautiful house plants available, Oxalis regnellii does not. So you can send your O. regnelliis to bed early like a naughty child, and I will allow mine to flaunt their glory for many hours longer; this very tolerant plant will put up with both treatments, but I think I know which it prefers :)

The only thing I really know about them is that they produce outdoor fabrics, and I found them when I did a search for that. You can see some of their retail prices on fabric.com, and they are pretty low, and I'm pretty sure the fabric is woven in China. I would contact fabric.com to get more info about them, especially regarding availability. I could not find a retail source for their outdoor fabrics.

Joanne, I got one of these things for Christmas, it's called a "Bucky Hottie". Mine is a travel pillow, but they also have body pillows, etc. I included a link so you can see the product.

It is filled with buckwheat and has a scent package that you put in after you either nuke it in the microwave or take it out of the freezer. Mine is a lavendar scent. It is glorious.

Hope this helps!!

OK JoAnn,,,I dug through all my old papers and found it for you...The specifics are 25" Long and 3 1/2 inches wide....it is made of washable polester chenille....Item number #35-614 for $21.95...

The description says The Aroma Wrap relaxes aching muscles while easing away stress with the scents of lavender, rosemary or and clove. Heat it in the microwave or chill it in the freezer to relieve tension headaches. Soft, washabble poylester chenille...

I just got the brilliant idea of looking it up so here it is.. if the link doesn't work the item just go to the website and use their search for item 35-614
