Do you have a preference?
Why? Walmart sells Anchor Hocking. Bed Bath & Beyond sells Pyrex. Maybe due to the store (or not?) Walmart is cheaper. Bed Bath & Beyond is more than double the price. If you're going to buy a full set (with duplicates) the cost can add up. Hence the question. -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281 |

The Anchor Hocking and Pyrex measuring cups I had dribbled down the sides of the cup and made a mess if you tried to pour a liquid slowly.

I don't know he would do this unless maybe some professor mentioned it in class. |

All of our floor lamps used to be dimmable via Alexa, but all it took was a couple of WiFi outages and SWMBO said "Be gone with them!" Her: "I hate talking to the lamps in the first place. I hate it even more when they don't listen." Using old school 50-100-150 3-ways now. Enough light to see the seat position and to aim.

Any grown-up should be able to ensure the seat is in the correct position before using the toilet. Cindy Hamilton |
