THUS CAME NEW WINDOWS

We bought them in January, and it took until today to get them completed and installed. Oh my, what a difference! It's not that they are bigger -- except in the living room, where the design has much narrower framing. Otherwise, there is actually a bit less glass and more frame. The big difference is … Continue reading THUS CAME NEW WINDOWS

THE SAD TRUTH OF “LIFETIME GARRANTEES”

Our movable bed cost a lot of money and was worth every penny. We've had it for more than 24 years. We only had to change the mattress once (two years ago) and all was well until we realized the remote had stopped working. The bed is unusable without the remote. I eventually found another … Continue reading THE SAD TRUTH OF “LIFETIME GARRANTEES”

SHARING MY WORLD – STRANGE DAYS!

Share Your World : 1st September This past month has felt totally surreal. I'm sure it will be more "real" as time slouches along. I'm expecting difficulties. Right now? I'm happy to be alive and in touch with friends. Here are this week’s questions: Is your home heated by radiators, underfloor heating or an open fire? … Continue reading SHARING MY WORLD – STRANGE DAYS!

IF TELEVISION HACKERS WERE THE REAL DEAL

I watch a lot of TV. Probably too much. I’m fond of action shows and I'm especially fond of all the comic book shows. The one thing all these shows have in common is at least one computer genius. A girl or guy geek who's the best hacker in the business. They always have at … Continue reading IF TELEVISION HACKERS WERE THE REAL DEAL

BAD NEWS, GOOD NEWS

FRIDAY FLASHBACK - ON SATURDAY WHICH ISN'T ANYTHING NEW It was a bad week in a lot of ways. Non-deliveries, late deliveries, missing parts, and a lot of increasingly aggravating conversations with Amazon. I spent more time on the telephone with Amazon's customer service than I have writing posts or taking pictures. I was beginning … Continue reading BAD NEWS, GOOD NEWS

BEFORE THE SNOW FLIES

WQW #40: GETTING READY FOR THE COLD Around here, in the northeast, you have to plan for the cold. We always say "Need to get that done before the snow flies." Given the erraticness of the weather, the snow could fly any time. It's cold at night and it wouldn't be the first time we've … Continue reading BEFORE THE SNOW FLIES

IT WILL BE A COLD NIGHT

The temperature is supposed to drop by at least 40 degrees tonight. I still haven't turned on my heat. I refuse. I never turn on the heat until mid November. I am not alone. Many people are absolutely phobic about turning on the heat early, especially with the price of heating oil as high as … Continue reading IT WILL BE A COLD NIGHT

THE NEW COMPUTER

It's done. I actually spent the money to get it set up today. Otherwise, it would have been a week of messing with it. It's not that I don't know how. It's that I didn't want to do it again. I can't count the number of computers I've set up over the years. My own … Continue reading THE NEW COMPUTER
