Living in central Florida I don't know much about it though.<br /><br />Back in the days when window air conditioners were used here we would go to a hardware store and buy a roll of plastic sheeting (Visqueen, take the face off the unit and put a sheet of it in place. The rest of the roll was used to stop the draft in what were called windows at the time. The proper name for them were Jalousie windows. They didn't stop anything because the four inch slats of glass left gaps everywhere.<br /><br />The only place I have seen jalousie glass of late is as glass shelves.Craig Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157301156577795781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-78799815532243048862016-11-14T17:36:59.967-05:002016-11-14T17:36:59.967-05:00Trying to piece together what happened….something ...Trying to piece together what happened….something about a going out a window (or avoiding such) and fingers that got injured in the process.

Hope you heal quickly. And start keeping better company.<br /><br /><br />Years ago, I worked for a home inspection company. One of the standard pieces of advice we put in the reports, usually for older homes, was: "None of the upstairs windows are operable. At least one window in each room should be operable for the purpose of emergency defenestration." Made me smile every time. We later changed it to "emergency egress" as that was more apt.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-55626665794273964312016-11-14T17:26:00.643-05:002016-11-14T17:26:00.643-05:00Just catching up with this news.

On Lord Hampton’s 55th birthday, his cousin Amanda Blackerby found an original Fene in a London out of the way art gallery. She was so excited. She bought it on the spot to give to Lord Hampton at his birthday party that evening. After the gallery wrapped it and put a nice red bow on top, Amanda took de Fene strate to the party. <br />Joseph S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07437663031050410028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-72180360819282805272016-11-14T15:12:27.658-05:002016-11-14T15:12:27.658-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Joseph S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07437663031050410028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-58810246307151302442016-11-14T14:52:45.799-05:002016-11-14T14:52:45.799-05:00Oh no!

Hope everyone recovers quickly and completely. It must be something going around.<br /><br />A few days ago our Troubled cats litter mate showed up. He had been in a fight and had a freshly almost healed cut down his left rear quarter panel. He was also skinny enough to disappear when turned sideways.<br /><br />I opened the door to check on him and he just walked in and took over the place. He has gained weight from a decent quantity of food and a dewormer. I think he will be gimpy all his life though.<br /><br />I had been trying hard to forget the old days of window unit air conditioners. The question I have is why do you need and air conditioner at this time of year in NYC?Craig Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157301156577795781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-13672160369701346482016-11-14T13:26:55.663-05:002016-11-14T13:26:55.663-05:00Sounds painful!

Ah, nothing like a couple of early modern historians in Europe…we know how to have a good time. <br />Nom de plumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01309604252298236431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-62072045739288291422016-11-14T12:52:57.520-05:002016-11-14T12:52:57.520-05:00:o !
