Past Post from a site that shut down 3- Those Little Things

From 10/1/12


You know how there's always those little small things in the day that bother you, but by the end of the day, you totally forget what they are?  Well, I'm going to attempt to capture those little bothers..  Let's see what we come up with!
 
-web browsers:
They seem enjoy causing problems with inconsistencies.  
Chrome- I edit an email one way, but once it gets sent, it totally formats it another way.  It was what I always used cause it seemed to be fastest, but the editing and everything must have been skipped in trying to make it faster.
Firefox- Too many updates!  It seems like almost once a week, there's update that causes you to just sit there for a few minutes.. updating... updating..
Internet Explorer- May be my go-to browser.  I know in the past, it's been a lot slower and there was too many extra features which slowed it down.
 
-technology:
If there's anything that's ever proven itself unreliable, it would be technology.
You would think that as years go by and as technology advances, it would become more reliable and simple things would be easier.  For example, think of a Microsoft Windows OS.  I'm now using Windows 7, which waaaay far along from when it first started.  YET, you're still not allowed to rename a file just because the file is open.  How terrible is that!  We've come so far along in the world of technology yet we're not allowed to rename a file just because it's opened.  That's inconvenient.
Another one, I just tried opened up an app on my iphone and it just did the OS update.  Now the app lags.  I thought updates were supposed to help!  Now it's pretty much a useless app.
Inconsistencies again, really deflates a person's enjoyment of technology.
 
-bunches:
Don't you just hate it when things always happen in bunches!  As soon as I sit down to eat lunch in the cafeteria, someone walks in, needing my help with something, while getting a call on my work phone, and someone texting me on my personal phone.  Yup, happens all the time.  While the whole morning, it's absolutely calm with no one.  Yet at lunch time, everyone decides to contact you.
 
-flies and bugs:
Nothing else really needs to be said about that...
..except for those pesky spider webs!  Why does it seem like I always run into them?!  Even when there's someone in front of me, I somehow still manage to get a spider web on me.  One of those mysteries in life, I guess.
 
 
I guess that's enough for one day.. So many little things can happen in one day!

Water Time!

If there's any one thing to add to a garden to really enhance the ambiance, it would definitely be a water feature.  But what about a water feature that doesn't use up any of your own electricity?  That's where the solar fountain comes in.  I bought mine a few years ago, so it's looking quite aged as you can see, but it's still working and I get to hear the constant sound of running water in my backyard, as long as the sun is out, of course!  The one I have has interchangeable fountain heads where you can get a shower type effect.  My shower effect was a little too wide for the dish I was using it for, so I just found a piece of old tubing and stuck it in the fountain to get the effect you see in the picture.  This way the water will stay in the pool without having to constantly refill.  See below for similar Amazon fountain.  Here's the link.. This fountain looks pretty much the same as the one I bought a few years ago, so I believe it's probably the same m

Past Order - when old becomes new

  Sometimes things get older and fall apart. It happens all the time. As I've posted in the past, I love my solar lights, but that means they always need to be outside and in the sun in order to function properly. What that means is after weeks and years of the sun beating down on these things, they fall apart. I have some lights that are starting to fall apart. They are lights that are in a shape of a flower. The solar plates and the LED lights are fine, however the plastic shell that forms the flower have been crumbling. So what do you do with it? It looks a little strange with just the light itself. Here's what I did. I had an old IKEA lamp that wasn't usable anymore. I trashed it, but I made sure to keep the light cover of it (I don't know the technical name of it... let's just say the white cover part! haha). As you can see in the picture, below, I put the solar light inside the lamp cover and it made it glow nicely at night! Check out the video too! T

uh..Year 2

 Ok, it's been a while since posting anything.  Obviously, much has happened in the past two years since COVID has started.  There's another addition to the family, we've experienced having COVID, and plenty of other things.  Perhaps one of the biggest things that happened was that we purchased the house that we're in.  So now we finally get to do some upgrades to our place.  The projects that we got to do ourselves, well, surprised us a little how well it turned out!  One of the tasks was to remove the wallpaper in our kitchen.  We had this grassy wallpaper and when scraping under it, we discovered another layer of wallpaper.  Our home is old (built in the '40s), so it was interesting to see the "history" of the walls.  One product we used was this: https://amzn.to/3JVhN6Y This thing was amazing! It saved us so much time.  We were trying to use a spray and scrape off the wallpaper.  That was taking too long.  Luckily, my father had the wallpaper steamer a
