I just hooked up my new 22" monitor. This monitor replaces an older 17" that I had had for a few years, The older monitors were almost square where this new one is close to twice as wide as it is high. I would say this was the best improvement I've made on my computers since I replaced dos...

I may have to kick myself for saying this but in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island, we don't get ice storms. We are not immune to power outages. That's why we bought the generator. We started this island living thing on Gabriola Island where the power went out once or twice a month. Several times...

I was here Mikey but in B.C. we weren't affected. I understand that that problem was a once in a million thing and steps were taken to prevent it happening again. There was no power shortage. There was a power handling problem that took a while to fix. I have a small generator that can...

Someone earlier talked about having two fridges and a freezer full of food but if the power went off that food will be gone in little more than a week or two. I don't know if I'm prepared to address the calamity that the loss of infrastructure and electric power would bring. Food is going to...

Yesterday the forecast was a forty percent chance of light snow or flurries. When I looked out this morning we had a foot and a half, and it's still coming down. I haven't seen this much snow for forty years and never, in Nanaimo. I know that in lots of places in Canada, this kind of...

No time like the present Karrie. About five years ago our breadmaker cost us around a hundred and fifty dollars. Last week both The Bay and Sears had the same machine on sale for $89.00 You can't go wrong...........:lol::lol:

Hey jenn; any machine that will give me, in two hours, a couple pounds of good bread dough to make cinnamon buns or monkey bread with is worth keeping. I wish I had had a breadmaker when the kids were growing up.

I got some money back from our government and decided I needed as bigger monitor. I had been getting by with my old 17' CRT monitor for a few years. I love getting new computer stuff. 22" will mean a bigger picture to be sure, but another thing it does is give me more desk space because the...
