So, I managed to lose my cell phone. It was about time to get a new one anyways ( Read more... )

So all the bedrooms in my house are heated with electric baseboard heaters.

It seems like I could do better than the decades-old heaters I have, especially for the new room.

Anyone have any ideas?

I bought a dozen 1/2 pint canning jars (the kind that has a 2-part lid) by mistake, thinking I was getting jars with a 1-part lid. Anyone want them?

My 10 year hot water heater just sprung a leak after 6 years. Lovely.

Does anyone who follows technology better than I do have any suggestions for a new one?

So, the tenant (not roommate) search begins again...

For those who don't know the place, it's 1br/4 room/800 square feet. About 10-15 minutes walk from Davis, near Somerville hospital.

I'm asking $1300 with a 1 year lease, but would be willing to negotiate for the right person/people.

So. Got me a coleman lantern. http://www.coleman.com/coleman/parts/Productimage2.aspRead more... )

Apparently my 3 year old phone didn't like having it's battery run down completely on Thursday night. It started that it wouldn't hold a charge for more than about 30 minutes (non-talk time!). Now it won't charge at all ( Read more... )

Does anyone know how (or if it's possible to) make gmail *not* group by "conversation" (ie subject line).

Mostly, great idea.

Not so much when you're doing the tenant search thing and 90% of the subject lines are the same!

The very basics:

10 min walk from Davis or Porter (140 Albion).

1 br, 4 rooms (your typical somerville living room/dining room setup).

1 parking spot, free laundry in the basement.

$1300/month, not including utilities.

The 9/1 could be negotiable a couple weeks either way.

Thought I'd post here before heading for craigslist and the like.

Now, *that* is a thunderstorm.
