[AttyPops]

It's the "Upload a File" button. In HTML.
I'm just gearing up to make someone's life harder in "Site feedback". But then again, maybe not worth it.

Why are lampshades so expensive???

Why are lampshades so expensive???

what are you looking for?

Ok,hubs called A couple minutes ago.Sounded better due to finally getting a pretty good nights sleep. He's progressing now. They've given him some jello.

Dotness might depend on your "Style" selection. I'm using "ECF"

so do i

what are you looking for?

Ummmm... lampshades???

Brick and mortar stores are useless. Lampshades are fairly large items, and stores
apparently do not alot much space. So, by the time you narrow the selection down
to width... then length... then style... followed by color... you're not left with much,
if anything.

There are plenty of online choices, but then you cannot be QUITE sure that the color
you see on-screen is the color you will actually get.

(Talking like living room table lamps.)

Take this as JUST an example.
https://smile.amazon.com/FenchelShades-com-Customizable-Lampshade-Hardware-Virtually/dp/B0792NH3Y6

$49.95 ... I'd say it's a bit pricey right there.

But wait... there's more... you must customize it!!!

OK... add 12" diameter... 12" height (these are all just example measurements)...
nickel hardware (the spider)... the drop (oooo! then I can go with 17" height and
a 5" drop, me likey that)... and then the covering and... cha-ching!!!... $121.99

Are they out of their frigging minds?!?! I need THREE of them. $366 for lampshades?!
Hey!... I'm RETIRED here. You know... fixed income and all that.

 

[AttyPops]

buy a new lamp cheaper.

Just back from seeing hubs. He looks good.They took out the IV cause of bleeding. They were going to remove it anyway.So they stopped pain meds by IV earlier today and gave him his 15mls of oxycodone. He never takes a whole pill at once because they will make him sick if he does.They did give him 3 5's and he managed to slip one under his tongue. Really got my fingers crossed he doesn't get sick. They insist on you taking your listed meds as stated.

that's a big problem! dh ran into the same thing but then realized he had the right to refuse

 

[FranC]

They hide that well

 

[Stoneface]

Good evening Snails

Get well soon, Tibs...

Mostly good news, Fran I hope those meds don't make DH sick...

I don't have "the dot" ... I see navy boxes with white letters for "Post Reply" "Upload File" and "More Options" ... and I don't know what scheme I chose, or if ECF chose one for me... but I am a FF user

 

[FranC]

I passed that tidbit of information on to hubs,tib

Hiya,Stone Very good new overall.

Hubs had pot roast this evening.
