anyone heard from Allan or Allen I forget how he spelled his name, hope he didn't electrocute himself with that train transformer


I'm using Chrome, so that probably is the difference.

I'm not using chrome and all I do is single click, or tap, I use a laptop with no mouse.

well it was 5am this morning for the lights on. i really hate to move my lamp, but i really hate lights on in the odark thirty hour also. i just wished he would learn to turn it off! up until he figured out the touch lamp, he used to touch my hubby's forehead. but now he's figured out the lamp routine works also. and a little whine sitting by my side of the bed gets me up. i swear if he turns it on before 5 i am turning it off, he will have to wait.

Eaglesdare you need a Clapper...My parrot can mimic my cell phone and home phone ring tones he thought it was funny when I'd be outside and he would do a sound just to watch me come running like an idiot into the house and then start laughing at me

:lol:

i just can't figure out how he figured out that touching that thing would turn the lights on. and he only does it early in the morning when he wants to get up. one morning we about were scared out of our minds. my son bought me a skeleton that has a touch button on it that plays the theme from halloween. it sits (sat :lol: ) next to the lamp. well he touched it and yes that micheal meyers music started. scary stuff!
i know this is all my fault, i think the second command i taught him was to "touch". so maybe he just goes around touching things now to see what happens. :thinking:

Simba is just using the tools he has and since the other ones got lopped off all he has is his little sniffer and hey look the light came on and now my peoples are up to let me out and give me food and its the start to a new day :? now if you could teach him to make you morning coffee that would be a trick

btw: simba has the lights on routine down for sure now. 451am this morning. he has learned. he has done this for about 4 or 5 days now in a row. oh well, i guess we'll just learn to live with it. :D

You’d better modify Simba’s behavior or it will become Permanent ... :shock: Like my Dumb dog that still barks when the heater comes on ... (7 years now , no changing that , although we’ve tried :oops: )
Turn the lamp off at the switch !!!!!!!!!! Couple days , the touch will be forgotten .... hopefully !! :roll:

Eagle , check the SALES!!! Lots of that going on now !!! :thumbsup:

would be nice if the foam and wood would go on sale. i am thinking of starting with that. some foam, some wood, glues. if the weather seems nice enough, i may take a drive up the road to joan anns, see what they have on hand. or maybe start my collection of paints.
i've only got 3 paydays to get my supplies together for the build weekend. so perhaps the paints will wait. don't really need that for the build weekend.

Did you check some of those “Green “ places ... sometimes they have just what we need , sometimes not , but lots cheaper than HD ... May check the local Craigs’ list ...supermarket trade papers ... I just know there’s good foamie' materials out there waiting to be had Cheap .... Finding it is the Luck !!! :thumbsup: First word in the topic huh ? :roll:
