Ok, you making me think about 108 things I should do...
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that when I click to comment it comes up as a pop up/ new window? It never did that before..
I changed it to be a pop up window because I noticed that a. I like the pop up window comments better so I can refer to the post I'm commenting on and b. I could do it easily. What do you think? Love? Hate?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your list!
I must needs see Rock & Roll, too.
ReplyDeleteI like the pop up window - previously, I would go to read the comments, and blogger would often stall on the return trip to the blog. The only way to get around that would be to go back to your blog via its bookmark and then scroll to where I left off reading. Now that problem is solved!
ReplyDeleteLip biopsy????
Regarding getting fluorescent bulbs. Some of the ones I have buzz and none of them can be enclosed in a globe. Apparently it doesn't have to be that way. Audubon Magazine recently mentioned a website for getting just the bulb you want. Apparently, if you want to mount a CFL bulb upside down, you have to get one that's approved to work in that position. Who knew? Anyway, I haven't visited the site, but here it is - actually there are 2 sites - www.bulbs.com and www.1000bulbs.com. Also, you can go to www.lamprecycle.org to find out how to recycle old CFLs so the mercury in them is properly disposed of.
Oh, and since I'm posting this on the 8th, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I hate the stalling thing too, unfortunately I can't figure out which Flickr photo is responsible (if it's just one, it might be Flickr in general) so I can't remedy it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have a spot on my lip that has been presenting over the course of a few months in the same way that the head thing did so I want to get it taken care of in a timely fashion.
That's great info on the bulbs. It's good to know that they do make ones that are made to go upside down (even though I don't have many upside down options in my house right now).
I'm going to save your good wishes for tomorrow...since that's my real birthday. :) Thanks!
