White pages--etc do you have?

9 years ago

Because I have caller ID, there are times I would like to find out at least the name of the caller. White pages, people search all charge something but does anyone have one that they like, without releasing my phone number.I wouldn't mind paying a small monthly charge, but -----
Thanks

Marie, you can go to www.whitepages.com and do a variety of searches, including a reverse phone look up (by clicking on "Phone") for free. The phone number information in my experience includes only landlines, not mobile numbers.

The information on this website is from a variety of public sources, some accurate, some not,

It's not unusual for the scam or boiler room-type callers to have phony or un-useful caller IDs that display false numbers. Sometimes they change the number shown so that callers see an incoming call that appears to originate from their own home area code. IE, so it appears to be a local call.

White island w/seating - do you have scuff marks?
Q

True - there's so much advice out there, it's hard to know which to heed, especially if it's coming from the paid professionals. (That's why this forum is so awesome!) Our counter overhang is only 12", so I am imagining that it won't cover black sneaker marks, depending on where they are. I have a toddler and a baby on the way, so I am guessing that their feet will reach higher up, once they are out of highchairs!

We did ours the same color but then our cabinet color is also the same as the crown color. Will you have any space between you cabinet crown and the rest of the house crown?

Do any of you have experience using WW flour for a white sauce
Q
Comments (7)
I use it frequently instead of white flour, but it is difficult to tell when the roux is done because it starts out with the brown color that I normally want when I use white flour. Basically, I just cook the roux for a certain amount of time and then assume it is done - I probably undercook it. It does have more flavor, and it works just as well for thickening for my purposes.

Do you have pics of Jacobean or Dark Walnut on white oak?
Q
Comments (19)
Here are pics of the floor which is maple wood with Jacobean and the oak stair treads that are also Jacobean. The oak definitely takes the stain darker. We were going to rip out 2000 s/f of Bruce solid wood and replace with wider planks until I found out how much it would cost to tear out. And then I saw my friends refinished floors and loved. The thinner planks are not nearly as noticeable on the dark floor. Previously we had natural maple that had yellowed and the bevel groove between looked like black lines. I’m much happier with the dark floors now, but we do get a lot of natural light during the day, have a mostly open floor plan and 9ft ceilings. The pet fur and crumbs and dust are MUCH more noticeable on the dark floor but it just makes me vacuum more often which isn’t a bad thing!

For checking suspected telemarketers, I go to whocalledme.com.

On our phone, in addition to the caller's number showing up in the Caller ID, the name to which the number is billed also shows up. Because the display screen isn't wide enough to display it all at once, we just use the "right arrow" button to scroll over to get the name.

I also Google the phone numbers. We've had quite a few scammers try to call this year.
