lucy you should be alec baldwins daughter... to say "whatever" makes you a rude, thoughtless little pig. I like the article. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. i bought a couple of these on ebay to use in my walk in terrarium and they work wonderfully. one is for reg heat and other is for backup.

Be really careful with Feedly. I jumped on their bandwagon early on when the news hit about Google Reader shutting down - they are CNet's #1 recommendation and I trust CNet.. I liked it at first but then noticed it was a bully and interfering with my computer operation so I removed it. Sort of. I THOUGHT I removed it through Add/Delete programs but then noticed a shadow Feedly icon that would appear and disappear (depending on the site I was at) in the lower right corner of my screen. Did a search for Feedly removal and stumbled on TONS of complaints about it being a space hog and the same interference I had and that it doesn't allow complete removal!!! Everyone had the same shadow icon. Feedly continues to run in the background even after removal. I'm in CO visiting my son now and last night he was able to do some computer guru magic and found where it was it was hidden - finally gone. Now I just have to figure out what to replace GR with - and fast since it disappears 7/1.

@ aputernut Was that a stream-of-consciousness moment ? There's like about a 100 words there, with no punctuation, no sentence capitalization, nothing . . . How are we supposed to parse something like that ? lol Btw, the way that link was made, it only goes to ehow.com . I did take a look though . . . as you probably know, ehow.com is by no means a tech site. They have people employed to dream up things to write "how-to" articles about, a lot of it being almost copy & paste. They may be correct on some points, but it's hardly a definitive or authoritative site for tech info.

"Accidental remote boat" made me giggle! I placed the too-small Pima basket on the ledge beneath a niche in the foyer, above which hangs a canvas painting of a woman selling mangos from a basket. I wasn't trying to mimic the basketry, but the Pima just fit perfectly there. For now, I have three pieces of pottery on the coffee table (none of which have openings large enough to hold the remotes), and the remotes are just sitting on the table. I think it might just stay that way. Does it amuse anyone else besides me how our little decorating "projects" seem to take on a life of their own at times? We think we've found just the right thing to solve a "problem", then we use the right thing elsewhere and our "problem" ceases to bother us. Well - sometimes.
