RE: Cats????

Our cat was the worst passenger till the day we gave up and let him travel free out of the crate. He would curl up between us and sleep.
Put a collar on him and don't open the door till you have a leash snapped on secure.
Our cat would only use the litter box when we stopped.

RE: I hate ants!! :-(

Every Spring I mix a cup of Borax and icing sugar then sprinkle it all over the yard specialy near the mounds. If it rains I do it again. Always get an ant free Summer.

RE: New iPhone 5 apps

If you like taking and sharing pictures get Dropbox and learn to use the photo album.
Get the app called 'Reduce' to shrink your pics without destoying them. Upload them to Dropbox, get the link and share with everybody.

RE: How good are you at Geography, traveled much?

Try guessing where you are.....
http://www.geoguessr.com/
That was fun but I wish you could be more pin point accurate with the placement of a guess. I'm pretty up on geography but this could be a good learning tool. Thanks for posting the link. I'll challenge the grandkids with it! ;)

On the main screen you can navigate around the scenery like on Google Street View.
In the small map you can zoom into street level to pick your guess.

RE: Trip Planner

People are missing the point here.
It's 'another' map planner, a new tool to add to your list.
There are many out there.
It's always good to check different sources for proper planing.
Thanks for sharing.

RE: Scary Towing Sights This Week...

Note to OP and others
Never critisize somebody elses settup. Chance are a dozen readers have the same settup and will defend it to the death, right or wrong.

RE: Looking for an e-Reader with games

A true ereader using e-ink is not a tablet.
It can go weeks between charges.
Once the text is loaded for reading it sleeps till you flick the next page.
Not good for games so it has none.

RE: Online storage

Dropbox is the best and getting better with each update.
Load them up in the designated 'photo album' and they are all set up with a link for mailing to family and friends.

RE: First RV for Retired Couple

Best advice I can pass on is to look at every RV you come across.
Don't pass up any Dealers or Shows.
Once you have it narrowed down spend some time in one. Ask the salesman to leave you alone for an hour or so then go through the motions of living in it.
Even after you say "This is the one" look some more, you might narrow it down more to the exact one.
Ten years later and we're still happy with what we have.

RE: NEW LAPTOP???

Any laptop out there will do everything you want.
Look for the sharpest display in your price range.

RE: GPS Location

With suction cups you can put a small dab of oil on it, smear it around, to improve sealing suction.

RE: Better Than Wood Blocks!

I carry a 2x8 plank of dry cedar 5ft long.
Both wheels drive up on it and its usually all I need.
I do have a few shorter ones for stacking on really bad sites.

RE: Kindle question

Avid reader here.
I've had a Sony ereader for years and also have an iPad.
You can't beat e-ink for simple reading.
Paperwhite does one thing and does it the best, stick with it.
It's lite, long battery life, no glare etc, etc...

RE: DW won't drive

Wife is more afraid of navigating than driving. I drive the open roads and she does the cities while I handle the map or GPS. I make a great passenger and she don't mind :)

RE: Got bad news today, now depressed!

Just back from the cottage.
The lake is still frozen over, the ice is breaking from shore. I thought it was very late this year so I checked my records over the last 12 years. On average it's right on time, just the last few years have been early. How quickly we forget and get spoiled

RE: Hard drive disposal

How paranoid can people be.
What can you possibly have on your hard drive that somebody would jump through all the hoops needed to read a re-formatted drive.
oh, I dunno....credit card numbers, bank account information, tax returns, investment information, other people's e-mail addresses and similar stuff.
Ok then.
You tell me how you would go about getting data off a hard drive that's been formated.
It can be done but the people who can do it won't waste their time on some nickel and dime HD
