It comes to my mind that what a person needs, if they have the space, is a rotating work station simmilar to those for tools. You could mount things like mixers and other appliances to it and rotate them when the need arises and maybe even have one of the surfaces free to use as an additional

Betsy, OOPS, you responded to Mycell on list. *GRIN*. anyway, the newer lazy susans, like others have said, have a board wrapping around the trays so it is difficult for stuff to fall off. Although, the 3/4 circular shape does make it inconvenient for anything of any size to fit in the

Hi, Does anyone know what TV Ears are? They're a system used to transmit the signal from the television, to a listener, via headphones, so others will not be disturbed by the noise. I recently purchased a unit for my fiance, and he is wondering if it'll work, with his talking book machine!

you just spray it on and let it sit over night and some sit up in a few hours. then you just wipe it out with a damp sponge. it will take the worst of things out and leave oven smelling fresh. Just remember not to turn on the oven until wiped out or it will go bang!\ I use that stuff all the

I just stand the nail on end and drop the nailer over it. The key is light pressure until it starts. Come to think of it, I never apply much pressure to the nailer itself. As long as it is pounding away that has always been enough. If you're wanting to start a nail with a hammer or don't

Once you patch the wall and footing I don't see any advantage to using any more cement. You stick the membrane to the wall well enough to keep it there while you back fill, the fill will hold the material to the wall. Just drape it down to the bottom of the hole and allow it to spread over the
