I was checking to see what kind of cable is hooked on my TV last night. I have a 1996 How to Fix it Yourself book by Reader's Digest & It says a TV can contain 32,000 volts even when unplugged& the most dangerous part is the picture tube anode terminal. So I think that is plenty to kill you or if you survive fry your insides!! We talked to the firemen after the guy got electocuted & the set had been in the corner. He owned the shop & he got it from his father who had retired. He had worked fixing TV's for years. So he was guy who knew TV's well. Then I turned the page & it has warning about your computer monitor & it says it also can carry a lethal charge. If you saw I think it was "60 minutes "last week it showed these things taken to China where all the lead,& several other metals & dangerous things are removed from them. Well, the air there is so bad you can hardly breathe from fumes of this stuff & the workers only last about 2-3 yrs before too sick to work any more. They had to sneek their cameras in !Messing with electronics if you arn't an expert is pretty silly. A lot of the TV's going out will be old ones, mine in LR is 30 yrs old & works just fine until Feb. then I may not get anything even with a new antenna,got a small hd TV & all I get is analog nothing digital, boxes don't work here. Too close to mountains I guess.

Just finished looking a ALL the pictures and enjoyed each and every one!!!! I did the slide show, but probably should have put more seconds in between. I so enjoyed the one picture of the rocks. The suttle shades of color were amazing. I can see that you are very much newly weds! LOL Makes me wonder where the spark went from my 46 + years of marriage. I think there is a tiny flame still flickering somewhere. LOL Connie

Kathie, I spent 3 years, I guess it was, trying to get the people in the Puget Sound and lower Willamette areas to understand what I was talking about on the Pacific Northwest forum. This was pre-Idaho Gardening forum - for whatever that is worth. I asked a few things of the gardeners on the Northern Gardening forum but everyone there seemed to be either on Michigan's Upper Peninsula or in Ontario. (Do you know that you probably live further north than about 90% of the Ontario population?) Finally, I decided to set my sights on the mountains. My gardening is at just over 2,000 feet elevation. The Colorado gardeners allow me to hang around on this forum because I tell stories about the Marmots and Mountain Cottontails eating my plants. Some of the gardeners to the south of us, garden at elevations that would be above the treeline up here. Still, not all of them are so fortunate as to have marmots . . . I'm considering a relocation program for those folks who have an interest. Kathie, if you live down in the Columbia Basin at 500 feet elevation - I think the Southwest Gardening forum might be best for you (notwithstanding what I said about you living north of the gardeners in Ontario). If you live in the Palouse or anywhere north of the Palouse, I think this is the forum for you! Steve And personally, I think Sunset zones 1 and 2 are a better guide to the kind of gardening that folks here are experiencing than what the USDA hardiness zones indicate. Here is a link that might be useful: Sunset Zones

Hi all, Alright! I really shouldnÂt be answering this right now, Âcuz IÂm drunk! I had a glass of wineÂand since I rarely drinkÂit doesnÂt take much! Had a little bit left in the bottle from having a friend over (my best friend from Denver) who was (just has) moving to New York City, and I didnÂt want to dump it outÂso I drank it. Anyway, Michelle (my friendÂs name is Michele tooÂwith one l!), maybe itÂs not a dumb question in the absolute sense, but itÂs a dumb question in the same way it was a dumb question when I was trying to figure how to post pictures here and Stevation had to get down to pre-school "dumb" level before I was able to figure it out. Actually, IÂll link that post here one more time just in case it might help someone else figure out how to post pictures. Even I know how to link something (ONE thing) down on the bottom! AndÂone more timeÂthank you Steve! The photo thread helped a couple other people figure out how to post pictures, and maybe this one will help somebody else figure out how to post live links! My primary email is AOL, and when I sent myself the link, it came thru exactly like I typed itÂwith all the >>, etc. (it was active, but obviously didnÂt go anywhere!) But when I post pictures, I need to use a separate link for posting and for email, so I kinda wasnÂt really expecting it to work in the email anyway. Links I get in AOL mail are almost always active, so I must have something set the right way. hehehe CouldnÂt tell you how to change it if my life depended on it! Now, this href thing, itÂs the first time IÂve ever heard of it. (And I thot I was doing good to figure out HTTP and HTTPS!!! DidnÂt even know there was a plain old HTP!) And, BP, "create a file on my hard drive.........!" I donÂt think so. Remember, IÂm the one who never learned anything past Fortran, and the internet didnÂt even exist back then! No, Jali, I donÂt have Foxfire. IÂve heard good things about it, but once I figure them out, things usually work for me with AOL, so IÂve never downloaded it. Once I get my olde brain around this active linking stuff, IÂm sure itÂll be unbelievably easy just like the photo posting was. But itÂs really amazing how hard this stuff can be when you donÂt have a clue what youÂre doing! IÂm not really dissing myselfÂIÂm just drunk enough to be playing and having fun! (To bad you all canÂt see how many typing errors IÂve had to correct to type this! And IÂm a good typist!) SeriouslyÂat least as serious as I can be right nowÂthank you all for trying to help! IÂll try to figure it out again tomorrowÂwhen IÂm sober! And since IÂve started this thread, IÂll have somewhere to try it besides just emailing something to myselfÂwhich I really didnÂt think was gonna work anyway. Thank you all! VERY happy, Skybird P.S. You guys arent' gonna believe this, but I had to make a correction, and I was trying to type it...
