My fairly new oven must now be opened with a knife, or I have to pay 150 pounds for the repair. (Yes it is so cleverly attached that they have to open the whole front of the oven.) My radio had the plastic lip suddenly come loose so it cannot be battery operated anymore. They are everywhere, on every item and without them the oven, radio, computer, hover etc. will not work. I want the name of the inventor of this hellish thing.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110854103256938970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-24677026033352674212010-10-16T04:34:54.424+01:002010-10-16T04:34:54.424+01:00my father grows kale and other greens all winter l...my father grows kale and other greens all winter long (in So. California where it never freezes)- what I envy him so much is the fig tree. When I was a child he planted a fig tree- the kind that gives huge purple figs (nothing like the kind you see at the store- I am talking huge and squishy) which grow like gangbusters. Every year my family gives figs away to the whole neighborhood, my mom makes jam and little pies and its fig central. In the summer I long for those figs... but my dad told me that they only grow well in mild climates- thus the searing heat of south Texas would not work.<br /><br />However, I have neighbors that grow chilis in pots. They grow wonderfully here- so I guess perhaps the searing heat does work for some things :) (Even though it is late fall it is still in the mid 80s F here...)Angelhttp://knittingangel.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-2595570290993752192010-10-15T15:10:13.110+01:002010-10-15T15:10:13.110+01:00I don't know about in Scotland, but here in Ca...I don't know about in Scotland, but here in Canada you can buy a new printer for not much more than the cost of a new ink cartridge. Hopefully you can find a good deal, but I am not sure that will make up for the annoyance factor of having to make what would have otherwise been an unnecessary purchase.hsknitterhttp://journeynorthof49.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
