Droid Invasion

One of the things I’ve been doing over the last several weeks is researching cell phones.  The old phone wasn’t cutting it any longer and I needed an upgrade.  The Man of the House and my brother helped me with the research.  I also got advice from my Facebook buddies.  (It really does take a [...]

Sandwich Bread

I know I’ve been writing about my  bread machine a lot recently.  I’ve just got one more post and then I’ll write about something else for awhile.  I promise. The new bread machine has several new features. (I’ll write about those later.)  However they also took out one of the old features.  My old V20 [...]

Bread Machine Adventures – Part Two

In part one of my bread machine adventures I chronicled the sad demise of my old Zojirushi V20.  My machine had gotten noisy over the last two years.  (It was not fun to be in the kitchen when the machine was on the kneed cycle.)  That plus the fact that the machine was about six [...]

Ergonomically Correct Pruner

I recently bought a new pruner. The packaging said it was ergonomically correct and promised it would be easy to use. The pruner does live up to its marketing hype just as long as Erroll doesn’t use it. I’m right handed and it works just fine for me. The “ergonomically correct” design makes it almost [...]

Haunted VCR?

I wanted to do a quick post just in case anyone else has had VCR adventures today. Erroll discovered that one of the VCRs was an hour off. It had mysteriously set itself to an hour earlier. I did some investigation and discovered the cause. The VCR thought today was the day that Daylight Saving [...]
