Need help from TVCH shopping experts! My Mom is loking for a bedside AM/FM radio that uses push buttons you can set to your fave stations (like a car radio), rather than a dial. The dial is difficult for her to use, due to her arthritis. I can't seem to find one in the stores, but they must make them, right? If anyone here likes to surf/shop online and has the time to help me find one, I would be very grateful! Thanks!

Thanks, Jackie! This is on the right track! I'm a little concerned that the buttons on this look like they might be too tiny. Did you see anything else? She doesn't actually need the clock, just a radio, if they make them without clocks anymore. Not trying to be picky at all, just looking for the basic right thing for her. Thanks so much for your time!

No problem, Babyruth. How about one of these? I had to ask Dra but he says the "preset tuning" is where you set up the stations and pushing one button moves you through those stations. Kind of like your favorite channels programmed into your remote. Make sense? If not I'll try to explain it better. One advantage of this type of setting is that the buttons would not need to be so small. Sony Target JCPenneys

I have a problem/question. I want to hang curtains but I have floor to ceiling windows -- and the windows go the entire width of the room so there's no room on either side for a rod. It's basically a glass wall. Does anyone know where I can source something that mounts to the CEILING to hang curtains? I can post a pic of the room if that'll help. I thought about just taking a regular curtain rod and hanging it from the ceiling, but then you'd get a gap of a few inches and the light would show through over the top (maybe I need a photo to illustrate). Is this a simple request and I just am not going to the right places to find this sort of thing? I've been to Home Depot, etc. It seems like it should be easier than it is.

Yankee, what about some sort of track, mounted to the ceiling like they use in hospital rooms for privacy? Course your curtains wouldn't be so cheesy, and your track would just be a straight line.

Can you install 2"x2"x2" blocks on the ceiling studs and hang the rods from stud to stud? The 2" wide section should be good for the curtain rod width and you can hang it high enough to cover the 2" down hang by the curtains themselves.

I've been looking for some kind of track -- in fact, I remember as a kid our curtains were hung on a track on the ceiling, which is why it's so perplexing that I haven't found anything that could work. And Lkunkel, that's a great suggestion. I hadn't thought of that before.

Could you hang two brackets from the ceiling, and place a curtain rod through them? As well, I've seen some cool stuff done with those little screw-in loops that you use for hook locks. then use something like piano wire as a curtain rod. and I've seen these metal clips used to hold the curtains, that hang from the piano wire. Hard to explain, but I've seen it done a million times on those home decorating shows. I'll go hunting for pictures....

Ikea*10339 This is from ikea. I think you'd have to use it with something like this: Ikea*10339 They have other things in their usa, textiles, curtains area. I think they had an item that had "ceiling" in the description. If you aren't near one of their stores, you can order things over the phone with them. It'd be best to get ahold of a catalog first probably. I didn't spend a long time looking on their website even for a description because I knew before I went to the website what I was looking for. good luck!

I have been searching all over high and low for a certain kind of kitchen table. I want a rectangular drop leaf wood table with terra cotta tile on top. It cannot be more than 42 inches in length. I have found white tile and I have found the terracotta but with bigger tables (i.e. with butterfly leafs) The only thing close to what I want was in England and they don't ship to the US. I am so frustrated.

Ginger, I'm guessing that might be hard to find -- tile top on a drop leaf table -- due to the weight of the tile. The extra weight of the tile would just be hanging from the small hinges on the drop leaf.

I have a question on exterior maintenance of my house. Now that I'm a single homeowner, I've been trying to find a way I can clean out the spoutings. One side of my tri-level is open to the bottom level (garage & family room with bedrooms above). This makes the spoutings two stories high and I'm too afraid of heights to get on the roof to clean them. Has anyone used the spouting/gutter guards that are supposed to keep leaves out? I'm in the woods and have lots and lots of tree debris that gets into the gutters now. If you've used them, what type and do they really work when it rains hard? My brother used the screen type once and took them off because the leaf stems still got stuck in them. Any other ideas would be appreciated, too.

Jeep I've seen this advertised in magazines and was also wondering if they worked cause we have birds that like to nest in the spouts and when it rains it overflows horribly. But there are also companys that clean out spouts and I've been thinking I'd have to get someone to clean mine sometime this year. I also need the air ducts cleaned. Oy the joys of home ownership.

At least you have gutters on your house. The former homeowners of my "new" house took theirs off rather than repair them. One of the many reasons I refer to them as the cheapa$$ SOBs. I'm looking at getting the covered gutters, and IIRC, the warranty for them says if they ever clog, the company comes out and cleans the gutters for free. Instead of being a screen, it is a solid cover that is curved on the outside edge. The leaves and such just fall off the edge, but the adhesion of the water to the matierial of the gutter cause it to curve around and fall into the gutter. Replacement windows and attic insulation come first though...and a retaining wall. Gotta get that done this spring...
