BM>> As long as you didn't make it a New Year Resolution you'll be fine! NB>> I don't make any New Year's Resolutions any more.... that way, I don't NB>> have to worry about breaking them... ;) About a week behind now... NB>> might make some headway if Life doesn't get too busy on me... ;) BM> I haven't either for the past several years. Goal-setting is a good BM> thing, just seems better to do on a daily basis. The only resolve I have (renewed regularly) is to do the best I can with what I have to do... ;) I see I still am running about a week behind... but I'm not going to stress over it... :) BM>>>> Oh, as for the wrapping of the solar lights, took some paper towel BM>>>> tubes and inserted them over the stake portion. Loosely wrapped gift BM>>>> wrap over the top (lighted) portion and twisted and so sort of looked BM>>>> like the fancy wrapped Christmas candies. NB>>>> That worked... :) BM>>> It did. I'l just have to hold my decorated-paper-plates-as-a-covering BM>>> for some other time. NB>>> I'm sure you'll find an appropriate place to use that idea... :) BM>> Eventually. Paper plates is probably better for something skinnier. NB>> Or for decorating... ;) BM> Or as coasters to protect items from scratching tables, etc.! That could work too.... ;) NB>>> True... Makes things much simpler to just use highlighters to NB>>> highlight, as that's what they're designed to do... :) BM>> Right, which is probably why I didn't use the markers for much more BM>> than a star in the margin or title/'tag' at the top. LIS Autumn likes BM>> them so fine with me. NB>> Yup. :) BM> Went to use one the other day to make a reminder sign: Autumn had BM> smooched the tip a bit so no longer pointed but blunted. Good enough BM> for what I needed. She'll eventually learn to not apply as much BM> pressure. Yup... it takes practice to learn the fine points... ;) NB>>> I'd guess those would be places where the signal wouldn't be strong NB>>> enough to be usable... maybe because of being slightly lower, maybe NB>>> some other reasons.... BM>> I'm thinking local topography: radio signal wouldn't travel through a BM>> boulder, the waterway is recessed and the radio signals travel over. BM>> Essentially the same as what you suggested, and the same reasons as BM>> why used to (maybe still currently) one needed to talk outside or could BM>> connect on one sode of the house but not the other. NB>> Quite probably... :) My sister has issues with phone signal in her NB>> house still... has to go outside to use the cell phone... :) BM> If she has a dog wonder if he gets confused? Your sister: "I'm going BM> to go outside to make a call." Dog, perking up at 'outside': BM> wag-wag-wag-wag!! No dog... just as well... ;) ttyl neb ....
