Stop typing like I do.

I don't know what I do, but in replying to emails, I will often end up replacing the subject of the email with one simple exclaimation point. It all happend so fast, I haven't been able to figure out what I do.

Whatever it is you do with your typing, please don't fix it. It provides hours of entertainment for the rest of us.

I just wanted to say hello to all y'all.
:)

Hello. I have internetage again... thanks to zapppop.
:)

Yaay, GC! :cheers:Yaay, Zapppop!:cheers:

Nice to see you hooked up again, GC!

Ugh. I am trying not to think I have a chance but I entered a contest to meet and greet someone I'd really like to....meet and greet. :D

Anyone have any 'ins' with the Avalon in Hollywood????

Working on surprising the Hubster tomorrow. We have gone up to Julian many times and toyed with an impromtu stay over. So, I am going to surprise him as I have booked us a night at a hotel. I even got the room we want.

Now, if only it isn't horribly windy and he doesn't catch me slipping the overnight bags in to the trunk....the kids are working with me on this one.
Taking the iPod player and a portable DVD. What I really look forward to doing is stargazing. :D

Ugh. I have another glitch. He has promised to take a good friend to the airport Friday morning. My daughter said she would...at six a.m.!! Can't tell him to work it out until we are up there and he knows about the room....

Not only does local rainfall have little to do with the water supplied for our plumbing, the notices going up everywhere are because a water treatment plant in Yorba Linda has been shut down for major maintenance.

We have one light that we leave on all day so that Barnum isn't left in the dark if we come home after sunset. Unfortunately, that one light is my favorite high-wattage reading light. (I likes me dem bright lights, which is why I haven't jumped on the low-wattage bandwagon yet).

But I was just suggesting to Talon that perhaps instead of my superbright reading light, we get maybe two smaller lamps and run LED bulbs in them. SHould be plenty of light for the poops, especially having multiple lamps, and those 1-watt LED bulbs... heck, I could put 40 lamps in the room and it's not going to top what's used by my 50-watt bulb. Not that I'm buying 40 lamps, but I would consider getting two...

OTOH... those Ganahl complact flourescents are super cheap. That would be a start. And considering the car repairs totaled over $600, now might not be the time to be shelling out for $4 lightbulbs when $0.20 ones are available.

Nitpick: Watts are not a measure of the brightness of light. Brightness is measured in lumens.

As an example, the compact flourescent bulbs I picked up at Ganahl are 23 watts with the [theoretical] equivalent brightness of a 100 watt bulb. The compact flourescents are energy saving because they give the same brightness while using less energy. Between that energy cost savings and the need to replace them less often, the higher cost for the bulb is cost justified.

This is something some pet owners do that I don't understand (with Lani, if we go away for the weekend she leaves the radio on, as if the cat cares).

Dogs and cats generally don't have a problem with being in the dark as both have excellent night vision.
