Oh WOW....your responses are wonderful, and far more than I had even hoped for! I am LOVING this! (Frou, you are definitely my kind of woman. LOL. And you don't sound like a hoarder, just an avid collector.) Bleigh...spray the heck out of that huge cone with Pine Sol. I wouldn't let something like a bit 'Tzu pee slow me down from rescuing it. LOL. Like you, I'd give anything to collect antique furniture. Things like small tables, sideboards, etc. I love it all. Slinkey, you have a lot of interesting collections! I'd love to visit and see them. I like most anything old and vintage. (except Me. LOL) Oak, I have just a couple of Jim Shore's Heartwood Creek pieces. Two rabbits I LOVE, one of the reindeer, the horse, and a birthstone angel. The patchwork designs on his stuff is really neat. WOW, LynneNC, your porcelain doll collection sounds like something special. I see them in antique places and always stop to admire their faces and dresses. Some are so life-like and gorgeous. MaryLee, I'm surprised I didn't get into collecting police things. I just have a few special pieces. If either of my sons had been interested, I'd probably have started a collection in hopes of passing it on to them. Hi and welcome Antique Silver, are you new to us or been a lurker? Its always nice to meet someone who shares our love of Holidays, dishes, and whatever. Had to laugh at Kathleen, and you, saying "dust". I can definitely relate to that. Living in Phoenix, surrounded by desert, sure makes those dust bunnies multiply. LOL. I use to tell a friend that I couldn't get rid of the dust bunnies, so I named them. Harry and Ethel...and the kids. Janet, you are so lucky your DD "wants it all". That is something that worries me with all my stuff. My DD and DDIL would probably want most of my Xmas things, but that's all. I'm afraid they will throw gigantic yard sale with my things. sigh. I keep reminding my DD that some of the horse, rabbit, and dog things are very valuable. (I am trying to set up an album with pictures and info about this stuff, and also who might help them sell it.) None of my family has a clue what is valuable and what isn't. Last year I decided to pare down my dog (Whippet-Greyhound) things. I had around 300 statues, plus art and jewelry. I figured it would be smart to let pieces that I could part with go to other dog folks now. I wanted to cut my collection in half. Didn't quite make that number, but did sell a lot to friends, and on eBay. I am currently offering more for sale this month. I have well over 100 rabbits, amd some I don't really love any more that I should let go. I wish I'd been a LOT more selective when buying them all these years. But its hard for me to pass up bunnies. LOL. My Trail of Painted Pony figurines is around 125, and I have about a dozen I'm ready to sell. I very rarely buy any more of the Ponies or the dog pieces. It has to be very special to add to my collection. Guess I FINALLY reached the point of "enough"! LOL. I am not surprised a lot of us are Christmas Collectors. I realized a year or so ago, that I had so many different Christmas collections going, it was easier to lump them all under one heading. I "collect Christmas". LOL. Those of you trying to deny you 'actually collect'...HA! You can't fool me. And if the old saying about THREE or more being a collection....well we are all in trouble!! LOL. Party, it would be neat if we did exchanges or trades here. I think its so much fun to share things, which is why I love sending little gifts when I can. Over on Garden Junk we do a Secret Santa thing, where one person collects all the names and addresses then pairs them up. Everyone fills one of those Priority boxes you can ship flat rate for $15 and sends to the name drawn for them. The stuff is supposed to be things you have already to pass on, and not spend money on gifts. You'd be amazed at what neat things, and how MUCH stuff, can fill one of those boxes. We've had a ball doing that for several years. One summer we did a gift thing too. I'd love a Secret Santa started here if enough were interested in signing up. Frou, I'll flip you for the title of Queen Quite-a-Lot. hugs, Karen My dustbunnies...Harry and Ethel. (Too many kids to photograph. LOL)

Just an afterthought. concerning leveling, if you are using pedestals.... When the Home Depot guys off loaded the washer and pedestal, they married the two out in the street before bringing it into the house. I watched everything they did (and didn't) do. The two pieces get married with these brackets on the sides that both screw and glue together. They just slapped the two units together, not paying any attention to the leveling legs that were on the bottom of the washer, now resting on the top of the pedestal. Who knows what position they were in, after coming all the way from Asia. What I found out later, was that these leveling legs do influence the vibration coming off the machine. Even if you get the complete unit level, you can still have some vibration problems if the leveling legs on the washer were wacked when they put the two together. Unfortunately, the glue they use for the brackets is fairly permanent, and hard to make changes after the fact. I would probably suggest that the legs on the washer be put all the way in prior to joining the pieces together; or, level the pedestal, put the washer on top, level that, and then put the joining brackets on. I love Home Depot, but they really should get better-than-minimum-wage contractors to do these installs. Good luck.

After a painful experience with the LG model WM2277H, let me provide some info you'll be hard-pressed to get LG to disclose: LG appears to have done an engineering design change on the 2277. The old ones have staggered "roller jets", a nozzle at the top of the door seal, and "forced water circulation." The new 2277s have *fewer* "roller jets" placed inline, no nozzle at the top of the door seal, and as far as I can tell, no longer has forced water injection via a second pump during the wash cycle (or any other time for that matter). In short, the 2277 is really no longer significantly different from the 2233 (though you'll still pay a several hundred dollar premium for it). I could not find this information out from LG's customer service (which was abysmal). I needed to call in a service order and get the scoop from the repairman. When I asked the repairman about the recirculation pump and he forwarded the question to the technician, the technician was more concerned about where I heard about the recirculation pump. When I told him LG's own specs mention this feature, the LG guy *implied* the pump was still there spraying water, but that with the angle of the drum, you will never see it. Of course, he couldn't explain why I could never *hear* the pump kicking on either (I sat through an entire washing cycle listening for it and looking for any "forced water spray" of any kind -- nothing! Whether this is LG ripping off it's customers by removing model features, or a legitimate design change, I leave to someone else to determine. But I felt ripped off because I payed for a 2277 and effectively received a lower-end 2233 that simply sloshes wet clothes around. (My wife complained that the clothes didn't smell clean after washing, as well -- especially my workout clothes.) Accordingly, I am returning the washer/dryer pair and going with another manufacturer. I wouldn't go so far as to completely pan LG. But given the features they appear to have removed from the original 2277 model, I would say that paying the difference between a 2277 and a 2233 is no longer money well-spent. And I'd hope that those who do buy an LG never have to use LG's customer support.

Verizon doesn't use SIM cards. The SIM cards are for GSM service, which is used by AT&T. I'm not familiar with the Chocolate phone, but on my Nokia 6126, if I want to assign a ringtone or graphic to someone, when I push the appropriate button to get to the tones/graphics, there will be some choices. My ringtones and graphics that are on my MicroSD card are all in a folder named Lindsey's. Are you seeing folders that you can open? If so, scroll down through them, opening each one until you find the one with your ringtones.
