Cultists may be a thing for California, but unfortunately they're plaguing the east coast as well, from Florida and even as far north as Connecticut. While the Jehova's Witnesses do not appear to be a dangerous cult like one that...

lyndaj70 lol @ the ginsu knives! (joke): How do you keep Witnesses away from your door! A: Draw a chalk outline of a body on your front sidewalk and scatter some Watchtowers around it! Sorry, this thread made me think of that joke!

lyndaj70 Personally, both my laptop and desktop are running Ubuntu (grin!). I switched a while back! To me, it seemed one of the easier distros to set up, and getting DVD's to play was a breeze! Took me 2 hours out of the gate to enable DVD playback my first time, and...

lyndaj70 Dapper Drake is a great system! What hardware to you have that won't work with Linux? I hate that some of the linux distros freeze your machine; I've had that problem with some of them myself so I can sympathize! Was it hard to get things set up how you wanted...

lyndaj70 Mandriva is a good distro for those new to Linux; so is Ubuntu, IMHO. What made you decide to try out Linux? Do you use a modem to connect to the internet, or another method? It is definitely challenging to set up Linux; it is a lot easier now than it used...

In the winter, I close off my external dryer vent and attach an internal vent system to my dryer. You keep it filled with water to catch the lint, and when you run your dryer it fills your house with warm, moist air which keeps...

lyndaj70 Thank you for your response! I can tell you know what I am talking about... Like the ones who wake you up expecting you to stay up for hours to "fix" their problem on the phone and when you tell them the solution, they want another fix.... One time my...

lyndaj70 My system actually came with an apartment dryer I once purchased, so I don't know the official name... at first I started out with a pantyhose leg that I would clean out.... I did a quick search and found one...

lyndaj70 I wouldn't know about gas dryers as my dryers are electric... but if logic serves me dryer drums aren't airtight, and if carbon monoxide were to be vented into them, not only would it contaminate our clothing, but would leak into our house whenever we opened...

lyndaj70 Believe it or not, the idea came out of a desire to have a dryer but no place to vent it in a trailer I once owned. At first, I just stuck a panty hose leg over the end of the dryer hose, and noticed that my heating bill went down in the winter.... Then I...

lyndaj70 Hey thanks for posting! I've played with Linux for quite a while now, and currently am running Ubuntu on my laptop and desktop. I've been very impressed with RedHat keeping Microsoft at bay, and have heard good things about them, so I have thought about wiping...

Like, seriously. It's just me and an 8-year old kid. We don't eat that much, and I enjoy a bit of variety in my meals. Between the two of us, I can open a can of pork and beans and still have leftovers, and that's all we...

lyndaj70 I do that with things like spagetti and chili and such. Thought about making my own tv dinners using ziplok bags and after we eat just portioning up the rest and freezing it.. MIght cut down on waste cause I could wash and reuse the bags, and if I got the...

lyndaj70 Such wise words, my friend.... I miss what we used to have, and I hold on in hopes that we will have that again, but as time goes on I feel like I am being misled... I am seriously thinking of just saying , "hey, I know it is a big thing, entering a life...
