This is the "random" section.

There are times when I don't know what's going on....

That's the crux of it, there's no plausible way of being sure if anybody else has a clue.

Oh jeez. Now it's sandworms, colonscopies, and roller coasters.

all kidding aside, as long as you have large enough loops and nothing is kinked or touching the back of the dryer, hopefully it's good. Try running it on air only to make sure it's unobstructed?

dryer doesn't have an air-only setting but eyeballing it doesn't reveal any kinks. just tight loops. even after all that, it sets out 3" further into the hallway than it did before.

I had DLed a custom style for FireFox to make WP less bright. When I got on computer alitlte while ago, I noticed WP is bright again. I tried to reDLed the thing thinking a new install is needed & I get the message Connection Error when I try. I wonder why the hell it quit working for me. If I cant get a custom style that makes WP less bright, I'm going to quit using this forum because my eyes cant handle it.

I am curious, if you don't mind- can you turn the brightness down on your monitor? I do that on all things I see online except for certain photos and videos that are already dark.

I have a keyboard command built-into my laptop that lets me adjust brightness on the fly, mebbe you could install something like that on your puter? alternatively, one could set it bright and then wear dark glasses to compensate, removing the glasses when watching videos. :idea: :nerdy:

^^^to avoid those things, I end up having to totally idiotproof my routine, by putting reminder notices everywhere in the house [bathroom mirror, fridge door, on the bed, on the toilet and sink, on two separate calendars in capitol bold letters with arrows pointing to the appointment date], a reminder note on the steering wheel of the car, and a thing on my puter that pops up and reminds me "HEY YOU GOT AN APPOINTMENT TODAY!"

I usually do better, but it’s been a hectic week, and I need a new planner.
