The Kitchen Table

Facebook..please help me understand

11 years ago

FB "Timelined" me the other day. Not what I wanted, but in the scheme of things, it's small stuff and I'm not sweating it. lol

However, I was under the impression once you went to Timeline, you would no longer have the basic Home Page and setup. I have both now...is this how it should be?

Your profile went to Timeline but your home page stays the same. FB changed mime to TL last week.

I grew up with silencers, and that's what I use to protect the table under a tablecloth. My grandmother's were thick wool flannel, which is nearly impossible to find any more. Mine are thick, soft white felt that I buy at the fabric store - I have three, depending on how many leaves are in the table. What they do is, they make the cloth lie smoothly and seem more luxurious, they protect against heat, spills and moisture (although I rarely put hot things on the table - if we are serving in the dining room, the serving things are on the sideboard), and they silence the sound of things being put down on the table. Tables get used, and they get little dings and scratches, and with proper care, those things merge into a patina that is more beautiful than the slick perfect finish they arrived with. In my view, anyway. If your household is not comfortable living that way, then it's the wrong table for you.

I wanted to provide an update here as so many posters were incredibly compassionate and outraged on our behalf. First, and most importantly, DH is improving. He's not using oxygen nearly as much and his pain has subsided, so that is terrific. I'm hopeful, though cautious, about his long-term prospects. I'm also doing pretty well. My back is feeling better each day, though I carried six plastic grocery bags the other day (3 in each hand) and was quickly reminded that my back has a ways to go. But all moving in the right direction. Regarding our outrage about the lack of a citation.: After leaving three voicemails for the supervising Lt., I was ready to escalate this when I suddenly received a return call. He apologized for the length of time and said he'd been on vacation. His entire demeanor was 180 degrees from the officer who wrote the report, which went a long way in making us feel heard and validated. He explained that due to a legislative change at the state level, PDs are no longer permitted to hold officers accountable for ticket quotas, and you guessed it, many officers are not writing them when they should. I sensed frustration on his part. We explained the extenuating circumstances here (young driver, no attempt to brake probably due to distracted driving, and a vehicle trajectory that would have landed them in the middle of a playground if not for our obstruction). We suggested that these circumstances surely called for a citation, an attempt to determine what had likely happened, and a strongly worded lecture. He listened carefully, asked clarifying questions, and agreed with us that this was a missed opportunity to impart a greater lesson to the young driver. He then offered to review the officer's bodycam himself to see what else he might learn and said that he would be reviewing the situation with the officer. He readily agreed with us that the officer's communication skills were lacking and needed review and counseling, at the least. As they say here in Texas, I got the impression this wasn't his first rodeo with this officer. In the meantime, I also confirmed with our attorney that the lack of a citation does not have any negative impact on our case. I feel like we have warned the appropriate channels of a looming danger, and we were taken seriously. As someone else mentioned, for our own healing, I've got to let the anger pass through me and focus on the parts we can control. Thank you all for your support.

Can anyone help me understand this diagram?

The door is fully opened at 105 degrees. The drawing assumes the appliance is installed flush with the front of the surrounding cabinet (shaded area), this cabinet is 3/4" thick, and there is no space between the appliance and the cabinet. The drawing shows how far the wall adjacent to the cabinet can extend to allow (or not allow) the door to open 105 degrees. If there is no space between the 3/4" cabinet and the adjacent wall then: If the adjacent wall sticks out 3-1/4" or less from the front of the appliance housing (NOT the appliance door), the door will open 105 degrees and not touch the adjacent wall. If the adjacent wall sticks out 3-1/2" from the front of the appliance housing, the door will open 105 degrees but touch the wall. If the adjacent wall sticks out more than 3-1/2" from the front of the appliance housing, the door will NOT open 105 degrees. If the appliance cabinet were moved away from the adjacent wall, the adjacent wall could stick out further before the door hit it. For example, if the appliance cabinet were 1/2" from the adjacent wall, the adjacent wall could stick out 5-3/4" before the door would hit it. If the door cannot open 105 degrees, you are to move the hinge pin to restrict its opening to 95 degrees. There is no in-between; it's either 95 or 105 degrees.

Help me understand whether this non-woven wallpaper will show visible

Hard to know the answer for your particular wallpaper, but having an experienced paper hanger would always be a must. Always a must to hire experienced labor no matter the project, actually. Some papers will always show seams (e.g., grasscloth). I’ve installed non woven wallpapers myself (DIY) and have never noticed a seam. Where are you buying the wallpaper? Talk to the manufacturer and interview some paper hangers about your particular project. Some papers require overlap and some do not. Some shrink after installation. Painting the wall behind the paper the background color of the paper helps to avoid noticing the shrinkage.

Facebook doesn't listen to its' members. Nobody likes Timeline but that didn't stop them from going ahead and making it their priority to get everybody signed on like it or not.
Maybe that is why their stock is now selling at 19.00 .
Something will come along soon and people will drop FB and go with the next social media experiment.

The whole layout is different. I find it harder to navigate than the old style.

No one I know likes it. They just arbitrarily change things at their whim without asking the members what they want.

Mine switched a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks Anne. I find myself checking both pages..not sure if that's necessary.

I've tried to fix the settings so those I regularly communicate with can see what I've posted or replied to on either page.

I keep thinking I'm duplicating...sigh...guess I'll keep feeling more familiar with it as time goes on.

You really don't need to change anything. The only major difference is if someone goes to look at your page. They will see the timeline instead of the old style "wall".

You may want to double check your security settings to make sure they haven't changed some of your settings to more "public" type of settings though.

Its' a PITA Lan-I was timelined almost 8 months ago-to my surprise as well-don't like it,never have,never will-I "mostly" just read the homepage and watch the notification symbol(where it goes read,top left of the page) for anything going on with anyone I know-and then I can check their "wall" or profile page if I choose to
and yes,check your privacy settings

You can't go back and you can't choose! It's a total pita! When I try and read stuff at the FB page for the local animal shelters, I'll be in the middle of reading and the page will jump and I'll have to scroll back down and find where I was then BOOM it jumps again! It's totally screwed up if you ask me! There is no way to hold the page in place, I tried to hold it with the scroll bar and even that doesn't help any!

"Facebook doesn't listen to its' members. Nobody likes Timeline but that didn't stop them from going ahead and making it their priority to get everybody signed on like it or not. "

It is my experience that the only ones who don't like it are the older people reluctant to change.
The twenty-somethings, college kids and teens I know all LOVE it.

Me... I'll adapt, just as I always seem to do.

Actually i think the time line had very little to do with their stock price dropping,,,I think the 4million dollar fine they paid last week for selling ppls person info had much more effect.
