My step moms first husband was from Thailand. He called pigeons "Thai Chicken" and hunted them regularly for dinner. They do make netting for protecting fruit bearing bushes and trees. Try Amazon. Or ask a local plant nurseryman. |

Help wanted. We have a nephew teaching English in China right now, and he is having a WONDERFUL experience, but he is 20 and we are not. I'm too old to be uprooted, for any amount of money. |

Help wanted. Old? Sure, I understand home and not wanting to move but you are not OLD. |

Well I was cooking My dinner in the Microwave, I'd put the meal in there after the 1st 5mins, and it started, then the oven died, changed outlets, no difference, I'm going to complete this using the gas range's oven, I'm watching an RCA Microwave Oven, a 0.9cuft model for $54 on Amazon, 3 weeks of gas oven usage, ugh... $58.19 w/tax and FREE shipping.

Ok I plugged the microwave into a different outlet, a 3rd one, and the microwave works, so I have 2 more dead outlets... I used one of these testers, which I have, and yep, the outlets are both dead, though nothing else is, in the morning I'll go and see if a breaker is tripped. I have an Open Hot. And My refrigerator is out too, I think I need an electrician... Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

And My refrigerator is out too, I think I need an electrician... Beg, borrow, steal a heavy duty* extension cord and keep the refrigerator cold. Have a guess that the breaker is getting old and trips easier than it should. Some brands are much worse than others. *14 AWG Don't try one of those 18 AWG two wire cords, you will burn the place down. |

And My refrigerator is out too, I think I need an electrician... Yeah, I went to the Home Depot, I've wired a shed and it passed, so yes I bought a 14 gauge 25' extension cord, a Husky brand cord, like this one, yes the refrigerator works again. The clerk thought a 16 gauge would do, I told Her it was a refrigerator, that's a fairly big load. And I helped a friend, got $5 for that, plus a free soda too. 18 sounds like a lamp cord, too skinny. And I got a 3' power strip, which I plugged the microwave into, like this one.

My 30 years old washing machine has stopped working and I had to buy a new one. So this year have bought 3 not CPUs or GPUs, a robot lawn cutter, a Samsung watch which scolds me if I am sitting too long in front of my computers, and a washing machine. All I wanted was a Ryzen CPU. Maybe next year! Tullio |

A 15A 3' Power Strip that allows My Microwave Oven to work, since the circuit that needs repairs normally powers a Refrigerator, a Toaster, and a Microwave oven. A 15A 25' Husky 14 gauge cord that allows My refrigerator to work. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

a Toaster My mother grew up in a house you couldn't iron and make toast at the same time. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

a Toaster They had electricity? I used to know a woman only a few years older than me, and their first electricity was supplied by their own generator in the early '60s I think it was. They didn't get grid power until the late 60s or very early 70s. Grant Darwin NT |

a Toaster It's a 4 slot toaster that I inherited, though today I don't use it much, and when I do, it won't even burn the bread, it almost won't even brown the toast for that matter. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Yes, you need an electrician. Something besides the breaker is bad and it may be hard to find. Perhaps that water leak did some real damage. |

The water leak and the dead circuit are isolated from each other by distance, and the breakers and breaker box are 30 years old. If it wasn't the 3 outlets or the breaker, then a continuity check would show a break in the wiring. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |
