I don't know why, but I can't post anymore. I know a few of you had the same thing happen. What did you do? I managed to post here by just messing around on the site. Not sure what or how I did it.

Autofill from a Samsung tablet is a recipe for disaster for me. I have to turn autofill off, and then everything works just fine.

Zero problems posting from a laptop. I don't ever even try to post from my phone, because I am old and I can't see squat on that tiny screen.

It is by far the glitchiest forum I've ever used.

It's a real pia to comment from my phone, so I try not to. My laptop works flawlessly.

Linda ~ I also am sorry to hear of the loss of your baby, on top of everything else. May this new year be filled with good things for you. Below is a little piece that helps to sooth our sore hearts when we lose our pets. We will be reunited some day. FlowerLady ****** Rainbow Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown

It does sound horrid, and I empathize about lack of sleep (if I don't get enough, I'm worthless). My mother has Restless Leg Syndrome (they make medication for it) and she does not stomp or thud around the house at night (or day). It's just as is sounds, her legs are restless during sleep and might involuntarily kick, jerk or twitch. I was thinking about the LL's perspective, tho. If I had a tenant that was disturbing others, but said tenant told me they had a medical condition that led to frequent need for nocturnal walks, I'd probably find myself in a pickle. Even if I knew the condition, and that symptoms or remedies didn't mesh, I'd still be in a pickle. I know this is a stretch, but say LL keeps after stomping tenant. Stomping tenant could well produce a doctor's letter that says 'my patient needs to walk at night for relief'. That's just something a LL really doesn't want to push, because pushing it hard enough might find them slapped with a discrimination suit or something. But obviously you can't continue to live like this. I'd suggest something along the lines of larke's suggestion. Be sure to let LL know you understand that she might be dealing with a tenant's medical condition, and you respect that. (That will help keep LL from being put on the defensive. A defensive LL is an uncooperative LL.) Then let her know that you are developing health conditions of your own, find that you can't perform your job as expected, find yourself nodding off at inappropriate times, your heart races at night when stomping starts, etc. (Yes, the hassle part of changing units would be as camlan mentioned in 1st paragraph, 12/5 post.) Despite LLs predicament, and upstairs tenant's stomping, you are still entitled to peaceful enjoyment. Hopefully you can get it with some good old-fashioned open communication and a little psychology thrown in when talking with LL.

garbage ...??? yes bob... that is 99% of the things the free seed themselves ... the odds of finding a 'valuable' plant.. planted by the birds and squirrels is low.. in my experience ... the 'natives' movement wants to get around some of that ... but what i usually find .. e.g. with the elm ... is once you find one and ID it.. most likely.. you will start finding more ... and at some point native or not ... who needs a hundred of them ... its the potential volume that makes you get a hate on for them ... ken

I can't take it anymore! (Kitchen countertop clutter ...)
Q
Comments (69)
Wow, I never expected so many responses! Thank you all. Admittedly, this is a minor dilemma but it's still one that affects the aesthetics of my home and I appreciate the understanding in that regard. DH and I do not have traditional roles and the fact that he does the majority of the "domestic engineering" does afford him some leeway. However, we both agreed when we purchased our home that we intended to keep clutter to a minimum. To that end, I spent a good deal of time this past weekend reorganizing and removing/rearranging some of the decorative items. He and I also discussed renewing our efforts to keep clutter to a minimum. It's all too easy to let it pile up and after awhile it tends to become a part of the scene for some people. We renewed our intent to guard against that. rgrs, you asked if I'd ever come up with something to hold the remotes, and I did find something tucked away in the china cabinet that's working very well! It's an antique soup tureen, which may seem like an odd thing to use, but I think it's lovely to look at and it's the perfect size to hold two or three remotes.

I cant start a new thread in this forum. What is the topic name for The Kitchen Table, as that does not appear for me as an option.

I've never ever been able to start a thread from my phone The KT doesn't show up. No problem on my laptop.

The only way I can type a comment from my phone is using auto-fill only, it doesn't let me manually type in words, so I have to type a word until an autofill word shows up, and sometimes they don't.

Yep, autofill on my tablet, too. Oddly, it takes numbers typed in. Maybe they're trying to discourage forum posting?

I am puzzled by a post saying 'I can't post'. Something went right, it seems.

Since I keep autofill turned on, I also need to use it to post from my phone, which is a Samsung, BTW. If I keep typing and ignore/don't tap on the autofill suggestion, the words disappear. I can make a legible reply, but it takes a lot of patience and more time than on my desktop, that's for sure.

When I get those repeating hiccuped words, I go back and delete the extra letters, which is where patience comes in.

I can't recall starting any posts from my phone, so no recent experience in that regard.

Now I'm curious to see if I can or not...

P.S. Just tried it and no problem, it appears. It even seemed like I didn't need autofill to write, either, but I'm so in the habit, I can't be entirely certain.

And to select Kitchen Table to post to, I used the search box and just started typing 'kitchen'. I follow this forum as well, so it's listed in my topics.

Using autofill gives you the hiccuped letters. It’s much easier in the long run to just type the words entirely, rather than use autofill then go back and fix each word.

I have to use auto fill because words disappear if I don't. Have disappearing words when I type for months and it still happens

Same here, samkaren. I don't often use my phone to access this forum, so it's not a huge hardship the few times I do.

All I do on GW from my Android phone is post my ”scores” on The Garden Party, since i do them when I wake up (at 2am). Sometimes I can type commentary. but if I auto-anything or backspace, the repeating words thing happens and I abandon the whole endeavour.

And I can’t post pictures to here from my phone.
