anneliese, I had to look up the word, anachronistic. And I agree with you. Many years my cousin from the mountains of Norway where there were elks roaming his back yard, came to visit us here in Silicon Valley. He had gotten an ATM card for the first time. He saw an ATM in our local drug store, and asked how it worked, and I explained all about it. I asked if he wanted to get some money, and he said "no". He had been transported from elk to ATM in 24 hours and did not know anything that had happen between the two. He went back to Norway and took computer classes, he has set up a fantastic geneology (sp) site with hundreds of names and a lot of photos.

Kathleen, you may be right about it being an umbrella stand. I don't even have an umbrella, never rains enough. LOL. Punk, yes the little metal thing on left is the candle holder (two birdnests) from Home Goods. Janet, if I don't have any shimmery leaves in my packed Fall floral, I'll get some. They would really catch the light from the chandelier over my kitchen table! Jane...you little genious! I never thought about the lighted branches in that tall stand! My DDIL even bought me some last year. Mine plug in but that's ok. But if I put them in there, with leaves/garland type around them, it might look really neat. I have a small round glass table top that could even go on top of it and then I could decorate that with something! Marlene, both tall and trailing sounds great to me. Especially as there is a light switch under it I'd like to hide (shows in photo from other post). And I do love cattails. I'm not sure how long the turkey feathers are, they are packed, but they'd look good and hopefully Jazz wouldn't find them 'up' there. Especially if the top of the teacart has decor on it to discourage him from napping there as he's now doing. I just knew you guys would be full of ideas to help me! I was especially stumped with the tall stand thing. I still might paint it, maybe the ORB that is so popular with bloggers on stuff. (oil rubbed bronze, spray paint, by Rustoleum I think. I've used it before and like it a lot). I just realized while ago how MANY posts I've had going lately!! Sheeesh, I'm hogging the Forum it seems. I didn't mean to do that. hugs, Karen

It's a sarcastic tool for people who ask questions that they could easily figure out themselves. For instance, if someone made a thread on the KT asking how many ounces are in a cup, taking the time to make the post and usually giving a vague title like "do you know...?" so people click it and take the time to answer. An entire process for something that could easily be Googled in about 3 seconds. So when someone asks a question like that, you give them this link as an answer and it shows it typing in their question and then the results that show up as a not so subtle nudge that maybe they shouldn't waste people's time on something they could easily figure out themselves. Generally very, very basic questions.
