...and this means the look may change and features may disappear to reappear later. 'Theme' governs arrangement and organization, 'plug-ins' may not be compatible, and have to be added piece at a time, so without notice, you may see some disruptions, you may find...

Test it, y' all! Post away on anything whatsoever, except politics or religion, no matter how tempted.

Sometimes the opener works and sometimes it doesn't, and that's a real heavy doublewide door. We can raise it. But not safely while standing on ice. So...I canceled my third try at replacing my broken working glasses (I'm using some 10 year old driving glasses...) and...

Jane got it. I don't know how, but she got it. Now we have to clear the water-logged snow in the driveway. Freedom is in sight. Meanwhile I used our local grocery's delivery service and was pleasantly surprised. 7.00 flat fee, and I ordered a hundred dollars worth of...
