Jmm... Since both mom and Vince are having their after festivities nap, I'm taking the time to do the Lemon Juice method to clean our electric kettle. Hope it works. I WILL keep y'all posted. Thanks!

Jmm/Jackie, It worked beautifully! THANKS so much for all your help! I NOW have a spanking clean electric kettle.
In case anyone is interested. You don't have to use stinky vinegar to clean a kettle. You can put 1/4 cup of Lemon Juice into the kettle, then fill it up with hot water, and let it stand for 2 hours. That's it. Presto.

something like this, but maybe a little "simpler" (or easier to recognize at a small size)

If you google "clipart" you should find quite a few sites with little gifs - choose one to suit your style :-)

Go to Google Advanced Image Search and type in clipart fax and select small images. It will show you lots of small images.

Julie, I just googled "phone clipart" and got a few hits that look promising, too.

A couple of notes... I don't know what you need the clipart for, but some of the clipart is not free. Also, if you are not using it for commercial purposes, you can use the clipart available in Microsoft Office (you can cruise their Web site for all sorts of cool clipart and icons). Finally, Corel Draw has an AWESOME collection of clipart, if you have that program handy.

Yes ... It's very handy for narrowing down searches so you get more of what you want!

We have one computer and hi speed internet. If we got another computer, would we be able to use that same hi speed internet on both systems simultaneously? (ie. My dh is on espn.com on one computer while I'm at tvclubhouse.com on the other computer?

(I did post this in the technical thread, but would like to ask it here too as it may get more exposure here!)

Yep. You just need to get a router. How is your current computer connected to your high speed modem?

I'm guessing you have an ethernet cable running from the modem to the computer. It looks like a phone wire and plug only it's larger.

What you'll do is buy a router and run that cable into the router and then you can run multiple cables out of the router to your two computers. Or you could get a wireless router, but then you'll have to make sure that the computers can receive a wireless signal.

Thanks Jimmer!!! When dh comes home I'll share this with him. We don't even have a second computer yet. We just want to make sure a second computer would be able to do what we wanted... Thanks again, you answer man!

Yeah and if you do it make sure you use the filter if it comes with the router. I have no idea what it does, but without it (and this is for tivo too) at least one computer will be wonky.

We've got three computers hooked up to the wireless router and it works great. Mine and Darrens are in the den, the kids in the living room so we can watch them when they're using it. Plus theirs is password protected so they can't do anything unless we type the password in.

Jimmer, the funniest part about my techie term, I was sitting here staring at the router and couldn't remember what it was called!
