With those big leaded-glass windows the builders put

in, it's kind of hard to hide when the lights are on inside and you are in the LR. If I'm in my office and DH isn't in the LR either, I just peak out to see who it is. I may have to replace that dumb front door, but the window in the door is the only window in the living room. Stoopid builders.

glass
You can find them alot of places. Crafts stores carry them, Wal-Mart, and any store that pretty much has a craft section. Check them out.
For me, there is nothing like a glass
or two of merlot after a hard day at work to relax!
Trying to buy stained glass
I am trying to find an hanging stained glass octagon shaped item for my daughter. Anyone bought some before and if so, where from? Thanks.

Painting on glass surfaces
Ok, here is my problem. I bought a beautiful set of China in a magnolia pattern, stunning, for little of nothing. I then was able to get some platters, 4 bowls, salt and pepper and the like from a replacement China company but no where can I find a gravy boat. I have been looking for about 2 months. This is what I had thought of and perhaps someone out there has done this. I have a white gravy boat that I had thought of buying paint to decorate the outside some to make it blend in with my set that I will be using Christmas. Has anyone done any China painting like this or just painting on dishes and what kind of paint would I get. I do not want to have to finish with processing it afterwards, just a 1 stop painting and drying deal. Thanks.
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?
Water  or Coke?
Could  not believe this.....  Very interesting


WATER

#1.  75%  of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely  applies to half the world population.)


#2.  In  37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is  mistaken for hunger.


#3.  Even  MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.


#4.  One  glass of water will shut down midnight  hunger pangs
for  almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of
Washington  study.


#5.  Lack  of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.


#6.   Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of
water  a day could significantly ease back and joint pain
for up to  80% of sufferers.


#7.  A  mere 2% drop in body  water can trigger fuzzy short-term
memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on
the computer screen or on a printed page.


#8.   Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of
colon cancer by 45%,  plus it can slash the risk of breast
cancer
by 79%., and one is  50% less likely to develop
bladder cancer. Are you drinking the  amount of water
you should drink every day?



COKE

#1.    In  many states the highway patrol carries
two  gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from
the highway  after a car accident.


#2.  You  can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke
and it will be gone  in two days.

#3.   To  clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the
toilet  bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour,
then  flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes
stains from  vitreous china.


#4.  To  remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers:
Rub  the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds
Wrap aluminum foil dipped in  Coca-Cola.


#5.  To  clean corrosion from car  battery terminals: Pour
a can  of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.


#6.  To  loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola
to the  rusted bolt for several minutes.


#7.  To  bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into
the  baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake.
Thirty  minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the
drippings to mix
with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.


#8...  To  remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke
into  the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run
through a  regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen
grease stains.  It will also clean road haze from your
windshield.


FOR  YOUR INFORMATION:

#1.  the  active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
It will dissolve  a nail in about four days. Phosphoric
acid
also leaches calcium  from bones and is a major
contributor to the rising increase  of osteoporosis.

#2.  To  carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks  must use a hazardous  Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive  materials.

#3.     The  distributors of Coke have been using it to clean
engines of  the trucks for about 20 years!

Now  the question is, would you like a glass of water?

How do you get stuff off glass stove tops? SM

I have tried the white creamy stuff from Sears, where I purchased stove. That doesn't get everything off.  One site suggested a straight razor, but since I type for a living, I am reluctant to use one (except when shaving legs!). 


Any tips? Please? Thank you.


Oh, Miss Perfect, people in glass houses
It sounds to me like her daughter turned out just fine. I'm sure there are a lot of skeletons in your Christian closet so should keep hypocritical mouth shut, I'd say.
I love my electric ceramic/glass cook top, but
you have to clean the darn thing and keep it clean!!! Its not as hard as taking the electric coils out of the old one and cleaning it. You can turn it off for the last 5-10 minutes of your cooking and it will still be hot just as hot and cut electricity that way!!! DO A LOT OF COOKING IN A SLOW COOKER.... you can even bake in a slow cooker. it costs 2 cents an hour!!!! The oven can cost up to $5 depending on what kind you have!!!
Split up what you have and stagger the pieces, play with it, add some glass, and/or start

Awww...scoop it up with a glass and a piece of paper and place

lock windows
I made my fiance nail shut all the windows in the house when I moved in with him until we bought new windows because lo and behold none of his windows locked.  While this was probably not smart in case of a fire I would rather be alive to throw something out the window to get out rather than have someone come through the window at night (or day) and do who knows what.
Another warning about windows being down
I had a friend whose husband had the passenger's side window down and the dog was in the front seat.  He was on a leash, but he tried to get some fresh air (small dog as well), he slipped and fell out of the window and was hung by the leash when the husband (while driving) tried to "yank" him back in.  He has never gotten over it.  Another word to the wise - I wonder if this could be just as much of a distraction as talking on a cell phone while driving.  If I had a dog, I think he/she would be in the back seat, and I would literally treat him/her more like a child and belt the animal in to be safe.  Sorry to hear of the loss in your life.  It must have been devastating. 
....here. Maybe the windows will be open if it's
s
yea - I need windows, gutters, among
other things but I decided 79.00 wasn't going to get anywhere close to what I needed for that!  I might as well die if I can't have something I want every now and then.
I always lock the doors/windows too, but
then today I saw this.

Opinions on bedroom windows...

I am bringing this up from a thread below since I would like to get some opinions. I have room darkening shades that I have stapled right onto the trim but it does not work quite as well as I would have hoped. I have not found a way to block it so that no light comes in at all. I have blankets over the curtain rod and blankets laying across the top because of the light that comes in at the top.


Also he runs a fan to block daytime noise and so it causes the blankets to move and flutter.


Here is an idea I had but would have to figure out how to build it. Window cornice(?) that would cover the entire window. Four 2x4s long enough to box in the window completely and piece of plywood over it, cover with fabric of some kind (curtainy)and install it on the window. I would also like to figure out a way to make it removable so during the days he's not in there I would have natural light. I was even thinking I could insulate the inside of the box.


I am looking for any and all opinions. Even the littlest light in there bothers him.


I think you have a conflict between windows and iTunes...
probably, Windows Media Player is set as the default. I use iTunes, and when I installed it, I set it as my default player, and I only use iTunes for all of my music "work" on the computer. Try putting a regular music CD into your computer. You might get a message with a list of programs to play the CD. Select iTunes, and there should also be a little checkbox that says something like "set as default" or "only use this program for this type of file" Something like that.

Once you get it going, you should simply be able to drag the music you want right over to your iPod on the left side of the screen in iTunes and just drop it in.

When I first got my iPod, I also had problems. It's very frustrating! My husband gave it to me for a birthday gift, and I was so frustrated that I threatened to just throw the thing out (iPod, not husband). Now, however, I think that the iPod is the best thing to happen since man walked on the moon! Just wait until you start subscribing to podcasts!
oh, and open windows to air out home...

gotta change that air sometime........LOL 


and when windows are opened, central a/c is off....


gotta be careful with mold/mildew.....which thankfully have never had in 30 years in s. fla....


have been for 30 years - tho do open windows

to listen to the birds before the world arises...but now we don't have to - they're chirping at 2 a.m.


LOL


We had new windows put in our house over the summer so
we now need to stain all of them. Ugh. We did not want vinyl inside, because our moulding and doors are all wood. This should be fun. Have to try to match the exisiting woodwork. At least I will be busy this winter.
Replace the windows in your house.
If you have an old house, you probably have a ton of air escaping through your old windows. The initial cost will be a good chunk of cash, but it will be worth it from years of energy savings to come.
Did anyone load the new Int. Explorer 7 in your windows update yet.
nm
Yes, I guess you have a "genuine" version of Windows
and not an illegal copy. Can't say that for many of us using company equipment, lol.
Still keeping the windows open, even at night
Here in So. Indiana, we are finally past the heat wave and really having some enjoyable weather.. but are still desperate for some rain. Won't even thinking about burning any wood in the stove until December.
45 here; heat on or windows open today? (nm)

..:) Depression glass, cut crystal, candle sticks, figurines. Strings of twinkie lights

Did anyone do the last Windows update and get a message about a DLL address cant be read or
something when you start the computer up.

Be sure to open a coupla windows....chili is a fart-fest...sm

They'll get to jumpin' up and yellin' at the TV/game after feeding and all of a sudden somebody will rip a ripe one! Ya may as well consider making that classic Knorr Swiss spinach dip with lots of shallots/onions as well....  Cat 


 


Change the locks on your doors, nail the windows shut
and fill out a restraining order against him.
I felt it here in NE Indiana for about 10-15 seconds, rattled the windows and shook the couch. nm
