Hi Kent and Jan. It's good to see you back with us, Kent, I hope you had a good time at Wally Disneyworld.

Actually Kent that's my old avi. It's the first avatar that I used on ECF and I used it on and off for about a year. I decided to take it out of mothballs and give it a bit of air.

Cool - didn't know that but had seen the pic before somewhere - perhaps when I didn't 'know' you??? . I like it!! Nice relaxing and warm vacation. Cold here but still no snow!

Hi jj!

I like your 'original' avi, Jerry, wise looking.

I am very bad when I fry up baked potatoes -it doesn't work so hot if you start with raw but to fry up bakers there is only one bad way to do it. Add whatever else you like, onions, peppers etc and fry them up in.......BUTTER! Which is the only way to refry up leftover roasts too.
Naughty, I know, but really it is only bad if did that on a daily basis.

Speaking of really naughty, these are the cupcakes I want to make. Not for me, gonna make up a batch to bring into work.

Hi Poeia, congrats on the TV.

What's wrong with the person who created that recipe? It recipe uses maple extract. Don't they realize that there are orphaned tubs of maple syrup just looking for an artery to clog and call their own?

Of course, I just ate a cappuccino muffin (with chocolate chips in it), so I guess this is me calling the kettle black.

And hiya Poeia!!

Maybe. Maybe Wednesday. I hate making changes on Monday afternoons. If anything goes wrong, I might end up TW Cable screwing me up on both TVs.

My old TV is a 26" tube (not even HD ready.) It was fine when it was recessed in the wall unit but for the last few months it's been on a table. It's about as attractive as having a suitcase sitting on a table in the middle of the room.) I had over 100,000 miles on American Airlines. I'm not going anywhere so I traded it all in. $150 Home Depot gift card and $323 at Amazon. Including tax, I still had over $1 left so the TV was free. If I need speakers, that will cost a little but I'm also going to buy an antenna. If I can get rid of cable, I'll even be way ahead.

I've taken it all out of the box but I'm procrastinating. LG translates their manuals the old-fashioned way. (I think they might use Lis for some of it.) And they have one manual for all their models -- LED/LCD, LCD and Plasma. I could understand one for each of the 4 lines of models but this one covers over 50 sets. You find one thing that applies to your set then you skip 3 pages of instructions for other models to find the next thing you need to know.

Ah....I remember my 19 inch COLOR TV once upon a time - the main viewing screen in the house and major step up from the 13".

Yeah, love those universal, good for nothing manuals now. There are legal disclosures such as "wrapping your head in a plastic bag could cause suffocation and kill you" in 8 languages, some upside down, some sideways. Of the entire novel, only 1 page of directions consisting of "HOW TO LOCATE THE ON AND OFF BUTTON" is buried within.

And you wonder why people don't read manuals, thereby harming themselves, bringing lawsuits and adding more disclosures.

Rant complete...

 

[Poeia]

That's not what I'm talking about. In this manual, pages 1-7 are the cover and all the usual warnings. Pages 8-10 are the TOC. Then comes "what's in the box." What's in my box is on page 12. Then I skip to page 25 for the picture of the inputs, etc. because pages 13-24 are those pictures for other models. Of the first 40 pages, only 20 (including the legal stuff) apply to my TV. [/rant]

So I cleared out the hall and swept. Then I laid everything out, checked that it was all there. I put the stand together and then spent 1 hour looking for the piece I misplaced (which I will need once I attach the TV.) There was NO place for it to hide. I had cleared everything out of the way. (I did finally find it but… grrrr.) Now I'm waiting until I calm down before attaching the TV but I do want to get it upright and on a table tonight so I don't step on it tomorrow.


If you are filling a dual coil cartridge for the first time, I highly recommend orthodontic wire. I used the fatter of the two I got from Dad (0.014" diameter.) It pokes holes without compressing any of the filler and slides around the outside cleanly. I've never had a carto fill so evenly and quickly.

 

[Poeia]

They say to screw the stand to the table to prevent tipping. I am not putting a screw in my mother's antique drop leaf table. But my guess is that the stand isn't well balanced so I'm going to screw it to a spare shelf I have and clamp that to the table.

A 2-inch c-clamp would work. Any alternative suggestions?

 

[JustaGuy]

Having it vertical is definitely a good idea, Poeia.

How big is the TV again? My older 46" LCD, about 90 lbs, has a pretty stable stand and no fear of tipping over. I just have it sitting on a cheap TV stand rated for the weight. Got link for your model again? I'll take a peek.

 

[Poeia]

It's only 32". I was surprised that it's needed -- they only say to do if for 19 of the 50+ models so I'm assuming that they cut some corners and the stand isn't stable enough or wide enough or something. And, yes, I am planning to keep the TV vertical. It's such a pain watch a TV by standing over it and looking down at it while it's horizontal.

I had a 36" TV on my living and old one ,300 pounds, i put it away , it was replace for a 36 inch LCD , now i can't read the Close captions when i need it it is like a 22 in tv on the not 16/9 channels

 

[JustaGuy]

If anything, Poeia, the depth is their concern. The stand is not very wide that way as I see from the side view...but typical for industry.

If it were me, and it's out of traffic area, I would not bother. But, I wouldn't want you to lose a TV due to unprofessional, dumb opinions.

Standing over TV...

Kind of sucks, huh, like a smaller TV?
