Subj : Various Things (1) To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Sun Jan 29 2023 07:39:00 Hi Daryl! BM> Nope: that's definitely not going to be a turn-on! DS> More like a light switch that no longer works. Hmm: is it the switch or the light it's controlling? BM> Speaking of inaccessible outlets, it's almost seems like they're placed BM> in the most inconvenient spot possible: "two more inches to the left BM> and would have where I needed it!". I've get a few with a heavy-duty BM> power strip or 'air conditioner' extension cord plugged in to the BM> outlet before putting the furniture in front. The extensions are rated BM> at least 13A and usually have right-angle plugs to keep flush to the BM> wall. (Pay attention to the orientation of the outlet holes.) ...And BM> no, you're probably not going to use that 'trick' but others might. DS> Truer words were never spoken...especially on the outlets being DS> not where you need them. The outlet placement is a combination of legalities (can't have an outlet at the top of the stairs so the cord of whatever is plugged in to it crosses and presents a trip hazard; otherwise spacing every six feet IIRC) and convenience: architect thinks a table with lamp would be placed there. Unfortunately his table is 4' wide and mine 3', so the table leg comes down right in front of the outlet! BM> Or "what goes around comes around". ...Well, not the 'drop dead' part BM> - stop playing 'Voodoo Doctor'! DS> Will the person who has the voodoo doll of me please scratch my DS> butt?? My hemorrhoids are itching terribly, and I'm out in DS> public. :P You're wearing your pants teen-age style slung below your rump and going commando?! BM> My "Super XT" also had those 'chicklets' on the motherboard. (A few BM> who have been with ILink since 'last century' might remember that.) DS> Let's have them chime in here. ....Sure is quiet! BM> Mine do! Have some plastic rings with flaps: stuff the toes of the two BM> socks in the ring when taking off. When the laundry is done don't have BM> to waste time pairing up as they already are. And haven't lost a sock BM> since! (They came in colours so could assign different colours to BM> different family members.) DS> Never mind the statement from "Laugh-In"..."Sock It To Me!!". I remember watching it while doing homework, though as I got into the show the homework was only during the commercials. There were some shows I'd do my homework during the show and watch the commercials! (I Mostly did my homework in my room at my desk.) DS> You bet your sweet bippy I remember that show. Dumm-de-dumm. Can I sit next to you? .... ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® .... What phrase did William the Conqueror hate?
