One of my sisters caught a program on Erik Demaine and found it interesting, a genius kid that did really well (she surmises that they don't all do well). He started university at age 12 and is an MIT professor and does mathematical origami artwork.
I got a newsletter from our hydro-electricity company and it says you should have at least one phone with an attached handset so that in the event of a power outage, you can phone someone because cordless phones won't work. These are little things that never occur to you.

After our last power outage, we have two phones in the house with connected handsets. My brother didn't have any and we couldn't get a hold of them to see if they were OK.
Lucky for us Cogeco can't support a fax line so I have an attached line from the fax machine for work and both the phone and fax are with Bell :o(
So we always have at least one live line, along with the cell phone that can be charged in 15 min with the car charger.
Hello Christine
Believe or not it is our phone company that tells us to make sure we have a designated land line (meaning don't rely on your cordless phone) as they (the cordless ones) are no good if there's a power cut.
Is it still cold? We have 30cs all this week coming - scorching outside at the moment, about 36c
Take care

Hi Christine !
Happy New Year !
Thought the 10 resolutions great-a good guide for living a happy and fulfilling life
Had a laugh at the Driver's Licence !
Will also try the Quick Apple Cake. A big bake in is about due
Congrats on the prize !
That is really true about the attached handset. I know people who were so happy to have those during Hurricane Ike in Texas.
Kay, that must have been scary not being able to be in touch with your brother.
SoccerMom, you've thought of everything...how to charge your cell phone is a good idea.
Cathy, it's good to know it's warm in other places of the world!
Happy New Year, Barbara. That reminds me I still have to use my prize certificate! Think R will like that apple cake.
