Oh, that's awful, Sol! you have a friend or family member that an hold it for you until you get your fridge/freezer sorted out?

The Wicked Witch of the North is here. That's right, Tim's sister and part of her family are in south Florida. Brrrr! Did it suddenly get cold, like an evil force is in the area?

Today I need to go to Lowes to shop for a multiuse shovel. Something suitably heavy for, allegedly, whacking her over the head, yet lightweight enough to carry into the woods and, hypothetically, digging a shallow grave.

Get one of those foldable camp shovels - sturdy enough for whacking/digging, but compact enough after folding down the handle to conceal from any nosy law enforcement visitors!

Using any of the third-party software allows me to arrange all the songs any way I want so I can see instantly any dupes and remove them easily. Avoiding iTunes has made my life a LOT easier!

If you're a Windoze user, it's as easy as using the usual computer file manager to do everything with your phone files.


Stitchawl
I have dumped all of my Apple hardware - AND iTunes! I've never been happier! I hated iTunes - it never did what I wanted it to - and was SO cumbersome!
I now manage my music through Amazon cloud, and am eagerly awaiting the launch of the fabled Amazon tablet - I'm sure it will be painlessly integrated with the Amazon store and not require me to wrestle with unfriendly software.

it's going to be pricey getting that screen re-screened [I'm way too clutzy to do it myself]

I wonder if I should have the repair shop add rebar to the repaired screen?
I wonder if rebar would hold?

[If she keeps growing, we're going to have our own version of the Doritos's commercial where the little dog smashes into the glass door and traps the guy underneath.]

Sigh

She's only 7 months old.
go to your big boxbuilding supply stores, I think you may find that there are "grated" screen protectors that screw onto your frame fpr just this reason

Egad! You're brilliant! That's just what we need! There's no way to make a splined screen door strong enough! Looking at some on Amazon now - it seems there are some "child-proof" screen door protectors that may work too.

It's an Android phone, Stitchawl so no, this isn't iTunes' fault. And I AM using windoze for this - drag and drop. I STILL have dupes. I think it's the phone software.

1. Having a severe guilt/panic attack (long, stupid, personal story as to what) so I'm too agitated to read much less work and there is the red face, tightness in chest, labored breathing, etc. that goes along with that.

2. My left foot and ankle are still swollen but at least they don't hurt. I put that down to wearing nothing but tennis shoes for 2 weeks.

3. I've gained a good 15lbs back. :?P
