  1. I like the oil burners much better ! The ones that use the little candles in the small metal cups? Being a old hippie I liked incense years ago, but oil is better same effect without the smoke " from the incense " And much better smell, no burning stick, also much better than the high price incense with no stick. When you first try the oil only put a few drops, we have tried different oils and some are VERY STRONG, to the point you have to blow the candle out after 15 minutes and relight it later the smell gets so strong. Candles are nice but it is cheaper to use oil , but my wife also has about 50 candles so we still use candles also.
  2. This may be a silly answer/ question, If you had to buy it all, Heresy lll and a sub ? Would you not be close to the price of Cornwall lll's ? Same mid and high freq drivers with much more bass ! Just a thought [] I really do like the Heresy lll's though .
  3. Arthurs, that room looks better than any room done by so called " Professionals " !
  4. Picky, you should bring your mother to Indy, I would love to meet her, and I'm sure many others would also ! My mother lives with us , because her house is gone, you are lucky to have the time spent with her.
  5. Mas What about dwarf monkey grass ? I think in some areas they call it Mondo grass. There are 3 different sizes, the dwarf is about 2 or 3 inches tall, the normal or most common is about 8 or 10 inches tall. the last and largest is about 12 to 18 inches tall, it's called evergreen giant liriope. All are very tough and should do well where you live. We use the dwarf on jobs when we need something like in the cracks between stepping stones or in areas in the walkway where there may be a green space, but also can be walked on regularly without any damage . The cheapest and easiest to find is the common , medium size, it's the dark green grass you see people outline walkways or sometimes garden beds with. When you plant it under a tree it can spread and fill in and eventually make a thick patch under the whole tree, and it is tough, and you could walk through it to blow the leaves off with no damage. Also however you get it it can be separated down by the root, every few blades of leaves has it's own little bulb with roots, which also makes it easy to plant when you don't have very deep soil or it's full of roots. Look it up on the computer to see what it looks like and If you don't like the way that looks let me or my wife know and we can think of something else. If you can't find it let me know and I will look up the Latin name , so you can find it, just off my head I think it's called Mondo or monkey grass. Almost forgot, don't know about the 'climbing hydrangeas' , sorry. Edit : Here is a couple of pic's. http://www.monrovia.com/PlantInf.nsf/715018c0a554020088256f1600604920/09c54d4dafa4afe78825684d0071ee74!OpenDocument
  6. That's a good idea, we should set up different special occasions that could end up standards, at least here ! Then you could tell her , If you don't belive me ask anyone on the forum, and we would all have the same answers ! For once ! Well if nothing else CONGRATULATIONS on 25 years !
  7. Oldtimer, sounds good to me ! Is that one of those " special " sound correcting earth shaped things hanging from the ceiling ? A couple of wet Persian rugs, or was it insulating plants, can't recall what is the correct order would work in front of the blinds, for sure. Your babies are safe, don't worry I never forgot ! You live north of Houston or is it north of Dallas, I can't remember ? The reason I asked is My sister is going to Houston in about 3 weeks, and it got me thinking.
  8. I just read through the 6 pages, it does seem to take the normal twist and turns. Starts out innocent enough, with polite exchanges, then a few little cat fights with a little name calling for good measure. Then an all out battle of words , then it kinds of burns out when a comedian or two steps in, a little more fighting, then it starts to calm down and a few more jokes then it just dies off. If nothing else it seems to be a regular routine, of course there are about 1000 good points made , just mixed in everywhere. Just an observation, nothing wrong, carry on . And thanks for the entertainment and information ! And DrWho next time you walk in a room to take a listen, wet your clothes down, throw a piece of Persian rug over your shoulder and hold your laptop up in the air, the sound will be completely different ! Someone has to throw out something compleatly off the wall ! []
  9. You all are making me think, I missed the mid-life crisis thing. At 49 can you have a 3/4 life crisis ? Hey I'm just a little slow, sounds like a good excuse to me.
  10. I don't blame you for not wanting to sell the 15, but you bass deprived, that's funny, of all people !
  11. Did you buy them new or used from someone ? The reason I asked is when I first listened to mine they had a different sound than they did after many hours of use ! I was not one way or another on the break in issue, but after many hours of use they DO have a different sound, and I wasn't the only one to notice . How many hours ? I didn't really keep track because it just happened, before I would have thought just a couple hours would have been plenty if any was required ? If I had to guess I would say a month or two ? Give them a chance to loosen up, or whatever happens ? Oh I almost forgot, GOOD CHOICE ! [8]
  12. Just seen this, Happy birthday a few days late.
  13. Sorry I don't have an answer for you, BUT welcome, glad you finally posted. Someone should come along ( with any luck ) with an answer ?
  14. Congratulations, you don't just have Rf 7's, you also have the upgraded crossovers ! [Y] Oh, you don't have to be an OLD GUY to enjoy this forum, but there are alot of them here, must be something to it !
  15. ON, Grandson 6, lives with us.
  16. Congratulations, Speakerfritz on the year and the 4000. When you look at it like that, 11 per day, that's alot ! I feel bad now, I have been here 4 years and don't have 1500 post ! [A]
  17. Good answer Fish, the story sounds convincing. For some reason Tommyboy has not been on the forum tonight, he might be putting all the batteries back in all of the clocks and resetting them. He said they were too loud when he was watching movies, and the movie had quiet passages. Then his wife finds out you don't really " break in " a CD player. She has not been back either, they might be shopping for new shoes and clothes ! [G]
  18. And you call yourself a Southerner. Don't you do skunk and dumplings? [^o)] Had a great crop this year. tc Can't say I do, but I am a Coonass, and a Coonass will eat almost anything if you put enough seasoning on it ! [] Smoked and seasoned just right I would give it a shot, yep ! [:|]
  19. I would say Oldtimer's idea is a good answer to keep me from leaning one way or another on the fence with you and Tommyboy ! [] Welcome , and ask questions , it's one way to find out if your getting a line of [bs] !
  20. What you doing with that outfit, shining at night for skunks ? [+o(] Love that line ! ....."It's the first clean100 watts that count "......
  21. Van Morrision, Steely Dan, ZZ Top, George Thorogood & The Distroyers are just some that stuck out, there are so many. Never thought about Jerry Lee Lewis, that should be a good show . The prices are cheap $ 35, for the day !
  22. Darn Arky, don't tell Colter about them, he has a hard enough time resisting buying more Klipsch ! If he keeps up everybody will have to call Colter, and get a price, ebay will have none left ! [] Just kidding, my buddy can have anything he wants.
