QUOTE(sybarite @ Jul 19 2008, 10:36 AM)  Okay, stupid computer question #865: does anyone know of a Word application (or one by anyone else) which will scan a document for certain words, like a spellcheck? I need to change every single instance I've used a particular word, so scanning for it across my 65,000+ word thesis would make things easier... Cheers, in advance! If you're using word, you can go to Edit, look for Find. Find will bring up a window with different tabs, one of which is Replace. You can type in the word or combination of words that you are looking for and what you want to replace them with and then click find next. It will jump to the first instance of what you're looking for. You can then click the Replace button to correct it. Hope this helps! |

Any good tips on how to get that stain out???? I got as much of it out as i could. It's still a light red spot there. HEPPPP!!! There's one in my living room that my husband made months ago (much bigger!). Stain removers are not working, and the carpet is light gray in color so it shows up quite well. Any suggestions? I think I got as much out as will come out. So probably pretty much stuck with red stains on my carpet. I need to get them professionally cleaned anyway so maybe they can get them out. There's an old hausfrau trick, that prevents stains on carpets: Immediately after spilling something, pour salt on stain, the salt will absorb the colour pigments from red wine, fruit juices, etc. make sure to use plenty, so the stain is completely covered in a thick layer of salt. After 15 min the mess is dry and can be hoovered- and voila no stain! On older stains this might help: some washing powder mixed with water rubbed in with a brush, then soak the mess up with an old towel. Always rub towards center of stain, or it'll get bigger. |

Go with a budget. Most folks go beforehand to scope out the goods, which is a good idea. Pick out the bikes you want to bid on and decide how much you want to pay for them and when the bidding commences you will know your stopping point. It's good to have more than one bike in mind, because you may not win. Definitely have a number one two and three choice.

 belligerently lazy Posts: 903 From: Chicago |
So I've actually been riding my bike almost everyday this summer, and I'm getting really tired of carrying it up and down three flights of stairs. It's fairly heavy and I want to get a new one that's lighter. A coworker suggested that I go to a police auction to find one-he said his friend got a $1200 bike for $225! The auctions are held every month, and it sounds like a good idea, but I've never done a live auction, and I have no idea how they work. I'm not a very aggressive person, and the idea of having to decide in a split second whether I want to spend more just gives me anxiety. Any tips? Thanks!

hmmm....did you see the old filter? Was it that flexible foam stuff,(like a really super thin cheap sponge) or was it a thin plastic screen-ish thing? Sometimes they're just kind of held in by the panel itself. I wish I could see the a/c.
What's the model of the a/c? -------------------- To block Steve's latest incarnation, Click Here.

See, I can't find it! The one panel that opens up has no place for a filter to fit, but I know it goes in there somewhere because the guy brought the dirty one upstairs. I can't seem to find a slot for it anywhere.

Just saw this post, AP.
What kind of a/c? If it's a window unit the filter should slide in behind the front panel, sometimes the panel flips out, sometimes it'll slide into a slot. If it's a central air unit, the filter would actually be in your furnace. If you have no furnace, (you either live in a warm area, or you have a boiler) the filter would be located in your air handler. Another thing on an a/c, it's a good idea to clean the "condensor". That's on the outside part with the fan (if it's a central air). Disconnect power and spray it down with a garden hose till the water runs clear. You may need to remove the cover to get that thorough a cleaning. If you take the cover off and it looks like christmas tree tinsel, be careful not to use too strong a water spray, because you don't want to dent the fins in and cause reduced air flow. Hope this helps. -------------------- To block Steve's latest incarnation, Click Here.

 Most Likely Procrastinating Posts: 2,534 From: shangri-l.a. |
i am crossposting in other pertinent threads but i have a question--i'm looking into buying cloth pads, just as a backup for the divacup or overnight, and there seem to be a few to choose from. does anyone have experience with a specific maker that they loved? any suggestions greatly appreciated.
thanks! -------------------- jam out with your clam out

I was thinking about that. Chances are, it doesn't need anything fixed. She probably just hasn't read the instructions properly! So I'm going to do that first.

Anybody know anything about replacing air conditioner filters? I can't seem to find where it goes; I don't know this unit. It's a York.
