Rosie, what happened to the laughing mouse? That cracked me up! Plus, I deserved it!

Jimmer, that's funny! So you have quite a little handyman in that daughter of yours, huh?

Math question. What is the inch equivalent of 9 points? (or how many inches, in decimals, are in 9 points?)

Not sure if this will help, but go here

http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/units/print.htm and scroll down for awhile and there is a chart of metre, inches and points. for paper.

Then scroll a bit more and there ia a chart of font sizes that says 72 points = 1 inch.

Each point is 1/72 of an inch. So 9 points would be 9/72 or 1/8 inches. Your are right Julie.

I work in a small office, and we don't write many checks, so they're written by hand. We want them to look more professional, and my boss says there's a small desktop machine you can get where you feed in the check, type in the payee and the amount, and the machine prints the check for you.

I've tried all sorts of phrases in google, and can't find anything like this, doesn't anyone recognise the machine and know what it's called? I've found a couple of large ones that work with a roll of continuous checks, but I'm looking for a desktop one.

Thank you very much in advance!

In the middle of decluttering my kitchen I ran across the bun warmer huddled in a back corner of a lower cabinet. We used to use it a lot, keeping rolls or tortillas hot throughout dinner. After trying to figure out why we didn't use it anymore, I remembered. There was a wire thingy that sat directly on the burner between the warmer and the low heat, and I can't find the wire thingy. Must've mistakenly thrown it out sometime in a previous decluttering!

Does anyone know what the wire thingy is called and where to get one?

Just call up BunWarmers'R'Us and tell them you need the wire thingy....they'll hook you right up!

Thingy is a part of my everyday vocabulary.

<smacking scooter upside the head> ya goof! no dumb answers in this thread! only dumb questions!

gracie, go to the manufacturer's web site (google it) and then look under products, usually there are repair parts that you can purchase. I went to cuisinart.com for a coffee basket for my coffee maker this way.

Yeah, I have heated mirrors too. They're damn expensive to replace when the plastic clips inside them break. Bad garage door.
