Re: Full Spectrum Lighting - 15 years ago

I wasn't saying the device was "same as the GE". I was referring to quality. If it were to arrive and be the same as the 1st St, whose quality bit monkey parts, then it would go back, as the 1st St did when I opened the box and discovered what pure f'in' 5h1t it was. Thanks amouse. Need a torchiere here. and in an unrelated rant. New top of the line Kohler potty. Seat hin

Re: Full Spectrum Lighting - 15 years ago

I ordered from 1st street online. I hope they ain't the same. If they are, they'll go right back. Utter junk, worse then the GE torchieres I have now. Time will tell.

Bodum cleaning - 15 years ago

since I went with the numerous recs here for a Bodum, I suppose some of you have some ideas for daily maint of same. I bought their 12c Chambourd (5 cup for my lot). Makes a nice mug, even in singles. But there is certainly some residual coffee oils hanging about. Other then regular dish liquid and hot water, does anyone do anything else for daily use? And how often do you descale, if you

VLC is also quite good. The Perian plug is OK, but it never looked good to me on AVI. Course, how critical is it after all?

Re: Which Joni Mitchell CD to buy next? - 15 years ago

my wife and I, and a great number of our generation friends must be the first then. But perhaps we went to high school with too many girls who spent weekends crying to Joni. She still gets tons of airplay on the only radio stations we listen to and we still don't get it, except for C&S, which I think is outstanding and a couple of cuts from a few LPs. But I guess that's more favorable fo

neither of these shots do justice to what I saw the other day at my mechanics shop. It was unrestored - serial #1, 1958 with original matched luggage still strapped in the trunk. In very nice shape and quite roadworthy. The owner had it garaged for the last 20 and was offered $300k as is. I'm not much of a fan of any Benz, but I was drooling. If they'd make a graceful beast lik

Re: Which Joni Mitchell CD to buy next? - 15 years ago

my LPs are in storage here. too fearful for commercial storage. I just bought a NAD phono preamp as I intend to update my system and enjoy some of my old pot smoked vinyl. Dunno that I spend much on the King either or the Pistols after a couple of singles that I have. Can't wait to hear the needle drop and surface noise again. I'm sure C&S will make a spin then. As will her neighbors Mi

Re: Which Joni Mitchell CD to buy next? - 15 years ago

I think you have the only one you need. It's the only one stock full of memorable melodies and writing. She may think she's one of the best songwriters ever, but a lot of what followed was extremely weak for me, compared to C&S. Hissing had a couple of interesting moments as does each of the following discs thru the 70's. For me. Joni suffers from believing her own hype a bit too much.
