Comment on Beware of Patio Furniture from The Home Depot, Kmart, Sam’s Club, and Sears by Judy

I bought a Martha Stewart Victoria Collection Dinning table and 5 chairs from KMart a couple of years ago. Before the warranty was out we heard a very loud explosion outside. We went out and could find no reason why out table tob had shattered. We thought it had only happened to us. I went to KMart, and the manager gave us a new table.

Comment on ActiveSync Problems with Windows Mobile 6.1 Upgrade on Samsung SCH-i760 – Support Code: 8503001C by psycros

This error has NOTHING to do with Exchange. I’m using Outlook in email-only local mode and getting these issues. First a Samsung Blackjack II and now a Samsung Jack (both on AT&T) give me the REPLOG error and refuse to sync with any computer successfully. The best I’ve been able to do is generate slightly different errors when trying to sync with different PCs. I’ve tried synching via direct connection to the PC as well as via external hubs. Nothing makes any difference: ActiveSync hangs immediately after displaying the number of contacts I have in Outlook, and the phone spits out the REPPLOG error. Seeing as there are different makes of phone are having this problem, the fault must lie with WinMobile 6.1. That means its Microsoft’s bug to fix. Of course they’ll do no such thing with 6.5 starting to be released, so if you have a way to get rid of your 6.1 phone or upgrade/downgrade it, don’t hesitate.

Comment on Microsoft Word Booklet Templates by rickyspears

Ggene – You’ll probably need to add text boxes where you want your header to be on each page and manually edit what is in each one. You can see how this is done by looking at the templates with page numbers at the bottom. That’s not a true footer, just a separate text box at the bottom of each page. Good luck!

I am incredibly disappointed at the fact that magicjack is pulling this manipulative practice. As much as I liked their service for the great price, I will be returning it and bad word of mouth spreads 10 times faster than good word of mouth. Shame on them.

The base of my Hampton Calabria II swivel rocker that I purchased from Home Depot cracked at the welds. Although the chair was slightly out of warranty I reported it anyway to the manufactures rep in KY. They initially didnt offer any solutions but when I politley informed them I appreciated thier time anyway but that the next time I purchase a patio set I may not cinsider a Hampton product they agreed to send me a replacement base. I now have the base but it appears you need a special tool to detach the chair from the base. I’ve notified Hampton CS ad am awaiting a solution unless one of you nice folks has any suggestions.

My name is Grace, Simon’s daughter. I was just reading through and i’m so glad that you enjoyed your time in Zimbabwe. It is a sad situation of how things have changed for the people of Zimbabwe, the amazing thing is that people are turning back to God as the Author and finisher of their faith.

Thanks so much! It’s not the printer duplexing that kills me, it’s the getting it right in Word.
I’m really grateful.
