Oregonfire | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 04:43 pm     I have a dumb question: Does anyone here own an air purifier? Is it worth the price and does it get the job done? I'm looking for one that reduces dust mites and produces negative ions. I saw one online for $160 and wondering of I should invest. Thanks. |
Draheid | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 06:31 pm     Oregonfire: Please read my post regarding air filters over in the Advice/Suggestions thread Hope it helps. |
Oregonfire | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 01:54 am     Thanks Draheid! It certainly does help. |
Lumbele | Tuesday, December 31, 2002 - 03:23 pm     Does anyone here have "progressive" lenses? How long did it take you to get used to them and do you see real advantages compared to the regular kind? Recently I was talked into these things and am very unhappy and back to nasty thoughts about my optometrist. |
Mak1 | Tuesday, December 31, 2002 - 08:40 pm     Lumbele, I have progressive lenses. It took me just a couple days to get used to them. I never tried the regular kind. Some people I know had a harder time adjusting to them, but were okay after 2 or 3 weeks. My optometrist said I could trade them for a regular pair within a certain length of time if I couldn't adjust. Good luck! |
Conejo | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 11:45 am     I just updated my user profile yet when I click on my name it still doesn't show any of my info. Does this take a day or so to show up? |
Squaredsc | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 11:50 am     conejo, its instant. did you click the button that says save this information at the bottom? |
Conejo | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 11:58 am     Yep Square I did and I even went back in and tried it again. The info showed up on the update screen when I went back in to check and I also hit the save this info button. ??????? It's probably something really simple and I'm just over looking it! |
Weinermr | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 12:01 pm     Conejo, Hit REFRESH at the top of the window, and see if that helps. |
Draheid | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 12:03 pm     Conejo: In the profile, the checkbox is to HIDE the information in the fields. If the field is left blank, it hides it automatically. Make sure you have NOT checked the hide function. |
Moderator | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 12:07 pm     Conejo, Make sure the options are UNchecked. I fixed them for you. cw |
Conejo | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 12:10 pm     Thanks guys-I had all the boxes checked! LOL I knew it was something stupid I was doing! Oh well, at least now I have a profile thanks to you guys |
Squaredsc | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 12:23 pm     uh oh, another cat person, lol. |
Zachsmom | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 12:26 pm     I am a little curious as to who named your cats.. |
Halfunit | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 12:30 pm     Lol... Fluffers and Grey Grey just kill me... it must be an Ohio cat person thing.... <NOT that I'd know anything about that!!> |
Conejo | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 12:40 pm     Zmom, I named my cats I've had them since birth (fluffers is from a litter 3 years ago and the other 3 are from a litter in April of 2002). They all still sleep together and groom each other. They are definately my babies as the mother cat left them when they were still very little and I think they think of me as there surrogate mom/dad Halfunit, yep must be an Ohio thing, I never name them at first-just wait til a name suddenly "pops" into my head! |
Zachsmom | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 12:48 pm     That's sweet.. any man who names their cat Fluffers is A O K in my book!! |
Dahli | Friday, January 03, 2003 - 12:02 pm     Not sure where to put this question, or even if it's a dumb one, but I waw wondering where the thread went regarding a court case that Rogue was involved with. I read some of it yesterday and thought the questions and discussion put forth by the TVCHers pretty interesting, but now today I went to read it and it's gone? Is it just me or did something happen to it? thanks! |
Moderator | Friday, January 03, 2003 - 12:05 pm     Dahli, at the request of the founder of that thread, it was removed from the board. Sorry. (22) |
Dahli | Friday, January 03, 2003 - 12:11 pm     oh dear - that doesn't sound good, but thanks Mod... |
Zachsmom | Friday, January 03, 2003 - 12:43 pm     Okay..really dumb question here..and I came up with it from a different thread.. When at the deli they have a meat called prosciutto..what is it and what does it taste like.. I have restricted diet but it looks good but I am afraid to try it! |
Weinermr | Friday, January 03, 2003 - 12:45 pm     prosciutto Definition: [proh-SHOO-toh] The Italian word for "ham," prosciutto is a term broadly used to describe a ham that has been seasoned, salt-cured (but not smoked) and air-dried. The meat is pressed, which produces a firm, dense texture. Italy's ham from the region called Parma is the true prosciutto, although others are also now made in the United States. Italian prosciuttos are designated prosciutto cotto, which is cooked, and prosciutto crudo, which is raw (though, because of its curing, ready to eat). This type of Italian ham is also labeled according to its city or region of origin, for example prosciutto di Parma and prosciutto di San Daniele. Prosciutto is available in gourmet and Italian markets and some supermarkets. It's usually sold in transparently thin slices. Prosciutto is best eaten as is and is a classic first course when served with melon or figs. It can also be added at the last minute to cooked foods such as pastas or vegetables. Prolonged cooking will toughen it. |
Zachsmom | Friday, January 03, 2003 - 12:49 pm     Thanks Weinermr! I am going to pick some up this weekend!! |
Twiggyish | Friday, January 03, 2003 - 12:55 pm     It's sliced paper thin and draped around different foods. (As pointed out above) We had it recently wrapped around a thick slice of mozzarella cheese. YUMMM |
