I will add a little that I know...if your used to cotton sheets Linen will take getting used to as it feels completely different from cotton. Linen will also take numerous washings to start to feel great...Linen also requires ironing, you may find a system like partial drying in a machine than line drying but they still won't be smooth and Linen wrinkles a lot. I'd be prepared to iron them, however 100% cotton sheets also wrinkle a lot and feel much better after ironing. Can you send to one of the manufactures for a linen sample? I know Rough Linen will send linen samples out. Finding great sheets today can be a real chore even spending big $$$ is no promise of quality. Good Luck

The Sling website suggests a constant speed of 5 Mbps is what's required. That may be a bit on the low side. So long as no other internet use is going on when watching TV, 10 Mbps should be more than adequate for most streams. In my experience Best Buy employees are often very confident but clueless in what they say. I'll buy from anywhere else when there's a choice, with the added benefit that by doing so I save money (even oftentimes when buying from Amazon).

Chromebook is perfect for me. I use mine for looking up recipes, watching shows, surf the internet, emails, text messaging and can play apps (but not all). The first Chromebook I had didn't have any internal memory so I could do all above but download apps. The one I have now is the Acer CB5-132T. It can be used like a tablet but it also has Chrome OS so it is the best of both worlds for me. The main reasons I bought a second Chromebook and not a Laptop is because LPs take FOREVER to boot up while the CB takes seconds. CBs are much cheaper (or can be) and what I use it for I don't need a LT. CBs are also smaller which I like because mine follows me around the house, I was also the Queen of getting malware other garbage on my LT that my husband would have to delete and I haven't had that problem since getting a CB. I poked around pogo.com and could play every game I selected. If you don't need any programs beyond Microsoft Office type stuff (Google has all those) then a Chromebook may be a good fit for you.

When I freeze bread, I wrap it snuggly in plastic wrap first, then put it into the FS bag, and put it in the freezer, unfrozen. When it is frozen solid, I take it out and vacuum it, taking care to stop the process before the Foodsaver pulls the bag too tight. It works very well. I've also wrapped individual servings (usually 2 slices) in plastic wrap, then put them back into the bread bag, and then proceeded as above. This takes a bit more time to prepare, but makes it much easier to remove only what you need at the time, and not have to deal with a whole frozen loaf. Rusty
