I'm using Revo uninstaller on my laptop and have a question...it's done the uninstall and has scanned for any leftover files. The window up now says: Note: Please carefully verify the bolded items! Only checked bolded items and their subitems will be deleted! The file that's bolded is at the furthest branch of this tree...My Computer>HKEY_Classes_ROOT>CLSID and then this.... "3B6C15BE-F9FD-7E15-F865-ABA8E2A09915>. That's the only bolded item. I have no idea if this is what I'm supposed to delete. Does Revo know best and should I just choose "delete"? I'll leave it on the screen until I hear something. :) Pam

"If you don't get a straight answer then its from overseas. Does it matter if it was made in China, Vietname, or Indonesia? Not really." While I agree with your first statement (I have no doubt that the furniture is not made in the USA), for me it does matter whether it's made in China or some other asian country. It used to be a political issue, but now it's personal. The tainted Heparin made in China but packaged in the states could have caused a near-tragedy to become an actual one for our family. I've learned not to ask if something is made in China, because company reps will tell me no, and then when I press for the source will reply Hong Kong or PRC as if those are not the same. So, while I prefer domestic goods and have paid a premium for them, it's not always feasible to buy only USA-made products. I've bought furniture & decor items from elsewhere (Canada, France, Italy, Norway, etc.) and have been very pleased. I feel rather lukewarm about the H&M items I bought, due to small defects, delivery issues and a not entirely positive retailer experience, but I would consider H&M again. However, H&M doesn't make the sort of things for which I'm now shopping. I'm trying to do this online, as we live a couple of hours from any good furniture stores, and that complicates things. If I don't get some information soon, I guess a road trip will be necessary.

I have 4 kids so we do try to be frugal whenever possible! We save printer paper that is only printed on one side for scratch paper. We save school notes that are one sided so my kids can draw or do math problems on the other. We save big plastic yogurt containers and such for leftovers. Why buy tupperware?? And with these containers I can sent leftovers home with family when they come over for a big meal. I also save grocery store bags and pack my kids school lunches in them instead of buying those small paper bags. We save napkins from the bags of fast food restaurants. We also save the condiment packets and use them when needed or to pack in school lunches. I save some sales flyers for my kids to do crafts with. I also save some egg containers and some cereal boxes for the same thing. Sometimes we stuff newspaper inside some food boxes and tape the top shut. Then my kids play store with those items till they are falling apart and we then recycle them in our recycling bin. When a board game is missing too many pieces to use anymore we still save the pieces and my kids use them for crafts or to invent new games. I save all gift bags we receive presents in and most of the tissue paper. We then reuse them to give gifts. If my kids get a present they don't really like or my dh or I get a present I don't really need (and we have no gift receipt) they go on a closet shelf and are re-gifted to someone different for a birthday or holiday. If my kids tear out the knees of a pair of pants then I cut and sew to make them shorts or capris for that spring and summer. If my kids get a stain on anywhere but the sleeve of one of those long sleeve t-shirts then they wear it under a regular t-shirt for a new winter shirt. When I get address labels in the mail from one of those places that try to get you to donate money I save them and actually use them! I have never paid to get address labels made. When we are expecting rain we put a few buckets outside to catch the rain and then use that water later to water plants. Speaking of water we have all made a conscious effort to save on our water bill by turning off the water when brushing our teeth and only turn it on to rinse our toothbrush instead of leaving it on the whole time. We also all try to turn the shower off as we lather up with soap and shampoo and then turn it back on to rinse off. If we have pencils that are too small to write with anymore, but have good erasers left we save them so we can still use the eraser.

I too , am glad that it's resolved for you. I'm also glad to hear that Viking actually makes good on their no quibble pledge. But, I do have to say they could have saved themselves a lot of neg. publicity if they had informed their dealers and even their own in house support staff that they'll take back their products no questions asked in the 90 days . They'd have gotten a lot of goodwill for the same cost by just coming to pick up bo61's range when asked. Shame it took a weeks worth of internet ranting and a VP level decision to ACTUALLY make reality live up to the advertising . Hey , it's a start the right direction guys.
