Table Dimensions

Ping Pong Table dimensions 9 ft × 5 ft × 30 inches high

Pool Table dimensions and room size minimums

• A 4 1/2 x 9 foot table = 14 1/2 x 19 feet of floor space

• A 4 x 8 or "bar" table = 14 x 18 feet of floor space

• A 3 1/2 x 7 foot table = 13 1/2 x 17 feet of floor space

I often wonder so I figured I would put it here so I could easily find it.

Multi-Vitamin

I bought the Target brand Children's Gummy Multi-Vitamin.  They are delicious and $8 for 190.  I heart them.  My only struggle is not eating too many.

Rust Stain in Pool

I forgot to take the garden hose out of my pool and after about a week my pull had a orangish tint to it.  I told the pool guy and said to buy chewable Vitamin C tablets from Wal-mart and rub it on the stain.  If it works then it is a rust stain.  He was right!  I rubbed it on the stain and the first wipe it was clean as could be.  I dropped a tablets in the pool and they left 2ft clean circles.  I ended up buying 2lbs of some magic stuff to the whole pool instead of random spots.  I thought that was rather impressive.

Comcast DVR like Tivo

The thing I don't like about the Comcast DVR is that it is not like Tivo in the fact that when you fast forward and hit play Tivo jumps back about 5 seconds and Comcast doesn't.  I came up with a workaround.  On comcast click fast forward twice then when you see the show hit the instant replay button (looks like a arrow going counter-clockwise).  Then presto you are lined up.

No need for Temporary Internet Files

We are in the days of High-speed internet.  We don't need to cache web pages.  We can almost just as quickly get a fresh copy from the internet.  Plus you don't have an issue with pages not showing the lastest data.  

So I say we change our Internet Options setting the Temporary Internet File storage to the minimum, which is normally 8Mb, and set "Check for newer versions of stored pages" to "Every time I visit the webpage".

To get to it in Internet Explorer(IE) click Tools, Internet Options, Browser History Settings.
