Okay - Random question for those in the know. . . Got 4 different basic "wall warts" plugged into a power strip and not all of them work as well as they should, especially give that I am using different types of USB Chargers from 2.0 - 3.0 and now Type C . . . So my question this, Anyone have a suggestion what "USB Prowerstrip" would you suggest I can get, especially at a reasonable price to handle at least 6 various USB Cords. Any I formation will be appreciated.

.
I've had this since 07/2016 and it works great and is in constant use.

    Somewhere between here and there
    This is one of my favorites.


    I don’t have any ideas for you to try, just a story to share about last Christmas. I decided that I would do something personal for my family. When I’m not in too much pain, I enjoy doing wood working. I have a lathe and really like taking pieces of wood and turning them into smaller pieces and sawdust. I f bought some wood blanks from Holy Land Olivewood. Using the Olivewood blanks I made ink pens for my family. While making the pens I prayed for the family member and their family. I don’t know if the pens brought them any peace but it was a very moving experience for me. This year my body has not agreed with me so it is Amazon gift cards for all.


    I’m going to show my ignorance now, what is SFT?

    That's a great story and an awesome way to share something personal with the gift recipients. If you have a picture, I'd love to see the pens you made.

    It's good that you have someone who can get good use out of them. It's much better than just throwing them away.
    I wouldn't ever think of throwing them away. Too many folks in need.

    I bookmarked a recipe a long time ago and just realized I now have all the flavors for it. Has anyone ever tried this Nana Pudding recipe? It gets really good reviews.

    Dang, nothing comes to mind. The big problem is that so many with multiple ports max out at 1 or 2 amps for the whole shebang, not each port. So, while they may provide fast charging with one device plugged in, if they're all in use, well, crawling might be faster.

    Although this is one "maybe" ;)

    If it sounds good to you then you should go ahead and mix some up.

    I just bought two more Smoant Battlestar squonkers. One in blue and one in yellow, the only colors left. I was going to hold off until after Christmas, but their stock was getting low and they were selling pretty fast. At 29.99 each, it's a pretty good deal, plus free shipping. If they still have some left by Christmas, when I get paid again, I might buy more.

    So I am going through some cream-type flavors to mix with Raspberry Syrup. I have it narrowed down to TPA Whipped Cream, TPA Vanilla Swirl, TPA Marshmallow DX, or FA Fresh Cream. Thoughts? I am looking for one that won't mute the flavoring too much.
    Not Marshmallow.

    Anybody got any ideas?

    I am extremely partial to tragic ceramics. Be it a mug you can barely drink out of (thrown or coiled) be it a freaking... candle holder made by my kid, which was the traditional "human creatures that are sort of like humunculi holding hands around a candle holder" poorly, poorly done by my kid who kind of hates clay but brought it home and it was sort of like interpretive dance/performance art/mime style you could barely identify where the candle went. But, there was ONE worse than my kid's. Per my kid, "Thiskid'sName put a d:censored:k on one." I began cracking up immediately, and my kid began laughig too and said, "He got in SO much trouble." I was like, "But yeah, WORTH it maybe, Thiskid'sName is my hero! Thank GOD I am not his mom."

    Art's fun when it's funny too. LOL.
