Nik, you're right..... . . I do NOT want to impart any hilariously clever discourse until I know it will be here to stay. So I remain quite dull and matter-of-fact until we are CERTAIN that all is permanently restored. . . . ......

I will just ask this question, as it has been haunting me for DAYS:

Why do we press harder on remote control buttons when we know the battery is dead?

:huh::huh:

:rolleyes:

The same reason we press the elevator button over and over in an attempt to make it appear faster :lol:

We also move closer to the TV but still keep trying to use the remote!!!

We also pick up lil bits that don't get sucked up in the vacuum, inspect them to determine why the vacuum wouldn't suck them up, then place them on the carpet again to let the vacuum have another chance!! . . . :huh: . . . :lol:

My stupid robot thingy has gone blind and refuses to run for fear he'll run off a cliff.

Spent two days taking apart and putting it together and accomplished nothing!

I found a site where you can order replacement parts so I'll order a new bumper that has the eyes in it and see if I can fix the problem that way. It's possible that the problem is in the mother board, but I'm not savvy enough to know how to figure this out with accidentally shorting out the whole thing and causing a fire in the middle of my living room.

Although, I guess burning up the hardwood floor would solve my dust bunnie problem in a different way...

I actually think that pressing and repressing and repressing the elevator button does make it come faster...... . ...kinda.

If you push it once, you have that idle time of waiting for the elevator to arrive. We all know that sitting around doing nothing makes time move at it's slowest.

However, by repeatedly pounding on that button, your mind may be focused on the hand-eye coordination necessary to do said task, thereby being distracted from the relatively slow pace of the elevator, making it seem faster.

So relative to your observed time (since time is relative after all), hitting the button multiple times will, indeed, make the elevator "faster."

Okay, there.....I've answered my own question. But I don't really know what in hell I'm talking about.

:huh::lol:

You will need to get it a little seeing-eye robot....... .. ...

No no no . . . it really should be a seeing-eye-dog . . . one that sheds quite a bit. Then, as it leads around the robot vacuum, the robot will automatically pick up the trail of dog hair . . . That there's whatcha call a symbiotic relationship!!!

....and it can't hurt to mutter "hurry up, damn it" whilst pounding ;) Every little bit helps.

Bummer Jess, is there a Roomba troubleshooting/q & a thingy on the internet? Maybe they could help pinpoint yer problem with it and talk you through how it fix it, or what part to get exactly.

Does anyone know how I can get the phorum to remember my sign in info....or how I get it saved to my computer so I don't have to type in my email address and password everytime I sign in? For some reason it no longer has it saved :huh:

It opted to work perfectly until 1 WEEK after the warranty expired.

Since it is a robot, there are multitudes of robot/computer geek sites dedicated to the little critters. I'd prefer to skip the welding of diodes onto the mother board method of repair and just buy a whole new bumper.

I will look into the seeing eye bot, though :P

hmm, or training the kitties....

Pretty avatar, Patti.....and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating Thanksgiving this week :D

All this talk about remotes, and elevator buttons, and etc reminded me of this email I got recently. It was warning against using the electronic door lock/unlock on your keychain (if you have such an upgrade).

Apparently, thiefs (always seeming to be one step ahead of the game) have figured out how to steal the unlock code across frequencies. They will park nearby with a special kind of device and sit and watch and wait for someone to get out of their cars, walk away and click on their keychain lock button. When the button is clicked they are able to pick up the code and they are able to unlock the car and help themselves to whatever might be inside.

In my case, this would be jackets, shoes, boots and other clothing shed by my children. Also some stale pretzels and empty water bottles. Lots of old spelling tests and last year's project on pioneers. Halloween candy wrappers. Lunch boxes . . . I dare them to find something useful to steal . . . well, there is about 2 bucks in change.

Yes! Put that Lefty to work! Although I'm not sure how he'd be as a seeing-eye cat with just one eye himself....he would likely be leading the poor bloke in circles... . . . . :lol:

Whoa. If this is true, they could likely do the same thing with your garage door opener, and gain access to your house! :o

Just as an OT post, my brother noticed that Lefty has compensated for his lack of depth perception by bobbing his head slightly up and down as he walks. Kinda like a long haired pigeon.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      I have been on supplementation for almost 11 months with no deficiencies showing up on blood work. So was just hoping to hear someone else’s story where it took longer to heal.

      Here’s the answer from the company 😊   Hi Emily,    Thank you for reaching out to us! We can confirm the Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods Powder is gluten free. The organic barley and wheatgrasses we use are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten protein is present. Rest assured appropriate measures are taken to ensure our gluten free products comply with the FDA final rule to be labeled as gluten free, as claimed on the side-panel label. Our suppliers are required to verify each ingredient and in order to ensure that our gluten free products comply with the FDA requirements, our manufacturing facilities use the ELISA test method to confirm gluten levels are less than the standard limit of <20 ppm.    If you have allergy concerns about consuming the grasses, we recommend consulting further with your healthcare provider. I hope this information helps! Please let us know if you have other questions.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @kim-d! Recently revised guidelines or the "gluten challenge" recommends the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least two weeks up until the day of the antibody test blood draw. 10g of gluten is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread. IMO, I would wait until you have time to do it right so as to remove all doubt as to whether or not your gluten consumption was adequate for long enough to ensure valid testing. In the meantime, focus on removing gluten from your diet and see how your symptoms improve (or not) as one piece of the diagnostic puzzle.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By kim-d · Posted

      Hello. I'm a 22 year old college student and I've had constant stomach problems since I was 14. Recently I noticed that my problems get worse when I eat more wheat. I tried to follow a gluten free diet, which didn't end up entirely gluten free, but I still had reduced my gluten consumption very much, and I felt a lot better. I also have fatigue, inability to gain any weight, iron deficiency, possible vitamin deficiencies, really bad memory and brain fog that increases by time, unexplainable muscle aches and tachycardia which all can possibly explained by celiac/NCGS.  I wasn't able to continue a completely gluten free diet as I am eating from my school and dorm's cafeteria and almost all food there have gluten so I was going very hungry. They do offer a gluten free menu with a report though. So I decided I should try getting a diagnosis if I can, especially after reading how it was much harder to do gluten challenge after quitting gluten for a while. I was able to get an appointment for next week, and started eating around 150gr of bread per day to be sure.  First 24 hours I didn't feel any worse so I was starting to doubt myself, but then bloating hit hard. It wasn't anything unbearable, but the problem is I have finals soon and I'm now realizing this is a really bad time to do this. I can't begin studying from pain distracting me. I'm thinking of cancelling the appointment and eat low gluten until exams are over.  I worry about one thing. Before I went low gluten, I was eating a lot of bread already for over a month, which is what clued me into gluten, and I only went low gluten for around 10 days before going high gluten again. I wasn't that worried about a false negative. But if I eat low gluten until my exams are over, it means over a month of low gluten, and I would need a lot more time eating high gluten later to get a correct result.  I'm not sure which one should I do, bear it until my appointment or cancel it and try again when I'm free later. And If I choose the second one, how long would I need to do the gluten challenge for a blood test?
