Hardware…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Lucy has completely recovered from her ordeal with the kitchen drawer.
I had to order new hardware because none of the big box stores had what I needed. The handles had to measure 3.5 inches from screw to screw. They had everything but. We settled on this. We needed 30.

Time to buy new hardware for the kitchen cabinets…

I had Lucy out for a bit, came in, sent her ahead of me while I got garbage together on the back porch.
A loud crashing, skittering, and banging came from the kitchen.
I ran to the half door in time to see Lucy ducking and crashing into things while dragging a kitchen drawer along attached to her collar by the drawer pull.
I have ALWAYS hated these pulls.
The edges stick out, are sharp, and catch on everything!
Hate them.
Going to replace them with something like this:

Do you back up everything?
Posted by doggonedmysteries

After losing several precious to me pictures and some book chapters a few years back when my computer crashed I’ve become rather anal retentive about saving things to CDs and memory drives.
I have a 2.0G SanDisk that I’ve been using for a few years and it drives me crazy because it has some junk programs that came installed on it. Thanks but no thanks I only wanted storage for my books.
With it now back to school season, I found an on-sale-super-cheap 4.0G USB memory drive put out by Dane-Elec. I’m in love with it. It is all storage and no junk programs. At the price I paid for it I’m going back to buy more, many more.
I’ll use some strictly for pictures and keep others for my writing. I might even back up my entire computer again although there are a few programs I won’t bother with since I have them on disk. Heck, if get a couple of the 8G ones I can back up things to my heart’s content.
