Can I get some electrical advice...?
The power to have my condo just went out and I'm not sure its a problem with my electrical or a local, partial power outage. (I was using a hair dryer and had a space heater going at the time). One of my circuit switches keeps breaking, but it just says "light receptical" and would a single circuit cover an entire bedroom and bathroom? I'm thinking if opening the circuit box myself and switching out that curcuit for one that's labeled "whirlpool", which I do not use.
Any tips?

turn off the main power supply first.
have someone standing by with a long wooden stick or pole to disconnect you, should you manage to still zap yourself.
make sure the two circuits are of equal rating.
also, if the circuit keeps popping, it's because you have a short someplace, and swapping breakers likely won't help./
personally, i'd call an electrician, but that's just me.

Technically, there are a couple of "neighborhoods" in Monte Carlo that they try to insist are separate from the city as a whole but no on'e fooled. The whole nation is just a single mid-sized (extremely wealthy) city. A couple square miles.

It's definitely a waste of time to go GAMBLING there -- the house odds are atrocious. It's nothing like Las Vegas - -they make no pretense of giving decent odds. It's just a fancy place to relieve you of your money, and you wear mink and diamonds.

My fridge died yesterday and I still had a mostly full half-gallon of Organic Milk left (pretty much the only thing I keep in my fridge).

"The first president of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), Kenji Kita, had some definite opinions on the subject of automobiles. "If you're going to build a car, build a full-fledged car." "Japanese cars should have Japanese names." Mr. Kita was ardent about producing passenger cars and was the most passionate of all about the 1954 prototype of the Company's first passenger car, the P-1.
Mr. Kita canvassed the Company for suggestions about naming the P-1, but none of the proposals were appealing. In the end, Mr. Kita gave the car a beautiful Japanese name that he had been quietly cherishing in his heart --- Subaru.
Subaru is the name of a star cluster in the Taurus constellation. Six of its stars are visible to the naked eye, but about 250 bluish stars can be seen if one uses a telescope.
In the West the cluster is called Pleiades, in China, Mao, and in Japan, Subaru ("to govern" or gather together"). In Japan, it also goes by the name Mutsuraboshi ("Six Stars"), under which title it appears frequently in very old Japanese documents such as Kojiki and Manyosyu and literature such as Makura-no-soshi. Clearly, this is one of the clusters much loved by the Japanese from ancient times. Interestingly enough, FHI was created by the merger of six companies, so you can see what a truly evocative name Subaru is."

I had a problem like this once, and the cause was a long circuit with multiple GFIs. One goes, and nothing downstream of it gets power any more. Search your entire place for GFIs (usually near a sink), and hit RESET on all of them.

Quick question: If milk doesn't taste sour, is it ok?
My fridge died yesterday and I still had a mostly full half-gallon of Organic Milk left (pretty much the only thing I keep in my fridge). Anyways, I'm making my evening latte-espresso and taste tested my room temperature milk and I detect no sourness. I'm figuring it takes a few days for the bacteria to spread. Correct? Would you use it?

Sounds like you are pulling 30 Amps on a 20 Amp breaker. It is doing what it is supposed to do, prevent a fire.
As mentioned above, some breakers require setting them to full "off" before resetting.
Also check for reset buttons on the GFIs in nearby bathrooms.

Most post-war house might have 4 rooms on one 14 amp circuit.
When I wire a flip house or new construction, my rule of thumb is "no more than 11 devices" on one circuit. Switch, receptacle, light, fan, etc.
GFIs, witb the exception of the 2 req'd kitchen circuits, go on a single 20 amp circuit in most homes (latest National Electric Code call for one protected circuit on the front & back porch, garage and bathrooms/wet applications).

Open your breaker panel take a look at the panel
List out how many breakers and what their amp ratings are.
You will have 15amp for standard circuits like overhead lights and room outlets.
You might have 20amp circuits for specialty items like window air conditioners.
You might have some double pole 220 30, 40, 50amp circuits for clothes dryers, ovens, heaters, etc.
You might have few circuits and may be overloading them.
A little more info would help.

You can winterize the house. My mother has the water shut off to the house at the street, turns all the faucets open, flushes toilets and pours RV antifreeze in all the drains and toilet bowls. Sets thermostat to 55.
Our house we had a plumber install valves so that we can turn the water off and pump RV antifreeze into the pipes throughout the house. Antifreeze in drains and toilet bowls. We turn the heat completely off. We don't have to worry about a prolonged power failure resulting in freeze damage.

Another thing that's become a "thing" lately on SUV's mostly are the memorial stickers in the back windows.
For instance:
Scott "Dad" Smith
1951-2014
or Bernice "Mom" Jones
1943-2009
Why are people doing this?
Why does anyone want to drive around with an epitaph of their loved ones in their back windows next to a "Yankees Suck!" sticker? (It's a Boston thing.)

Yes rooms are generally on one branch circuit breaker. Many times a bath and bedroom are on one branch breaker. Check your breakers to see if one has tripped. If so, unplug your heater and hair dryer and then reset the breaker. Push in the position it is in and then the other way. If you have a problem in the bath or kitchen it could be a GFI outlet. Find that outlet, unplug your appliance(s) and hit reset. With your level f electrical knowledge do NOT attempt any rewiring in the breaker box.

If you're going to eat at an Italian chain, Carabba's is by far the best. Food is very good, as is the ambiance.
I'll try it someday. Unless you think Olive Garden is good...
Olive Garden is not bad, but it's not good Italic food, either. It's okay.

Nowadays "caballero" usually just means "gentleman" and does not imply horsies or a noble bloodline.
"Damas y caballeros" is the Spanish equivalent of "ladies and gentlemen."

You're in a nice area to learn Spanish. Paso Robles means "pass of the oaks"; Alamo Pintado means "painted poplar"; Sierra Nevada means "snowy saw". So now you can go into a wood shop and use the "sierra de banda" to cut up your "tablas de roble" to "construir" something and make it "pintado".

Look into Grimm's law about the changes in European languages and focus on the changes between English and Spanish and French.
People get tied up in the various verbs, but to start with only worry about present, past and future, and leave the others be for a while. No one really uses subjunctive for example
for pronunciation the V and B are pronounced identically, and depending on the regional accent it is a non-plosive, voiced "B" sound
(and example of an English non-plosive voiced versus plosive voiced consonant is the difference between K and hard G: as in "Card" and "Guard"
One of the easiest native speaker spelling errors is substituting the V for a B. It is funny at times, like the sign that is supposed to say "Don't dump garbage" (No botes basura) that is turned into (No Votes Basura) "don't vote for garbage"

I knew pajaro. I also know vibora and arana negra.
The other thing that native Spanish speakers do is when they tell you how big a snake is they hold one hand by their hip with their hand sideways instead of flat. I would put both hands up to show them how wide it is. When they talk about a person their hand is flat.

Exactly... it's how regular people talk, not the very formal kind of speaking.
Just like we say we're sick, or don't feel well more than we say we're ill. Just less formal, although gripa in general I do think means flu.
I usually heard people say enfermo more when they were talking about someone else who was sick, especially if they were seriously ill or in the hospital.
Spanish is pretty ay to pick up, once you get your tenses and conjugations down, it's mostly just vocabulary.
But the pure Castillan Spanish most of us are taught in school is much more formal than what the average person speaks IRL

The show had four different cars in it,” Segal says. “There was a Ferrari used in the pilot, which was the only black-and-white episode. The Sunbeam Tiger to ‘Get Smart’ was the same as the Aston Martin was to James Bond. But they also had a convertible Karmann Ghia, a blue one, and a gold Opel GT, and we were able to get all three of those.

I'm sure it's been answered already, but if you are using a 1500 watt space heater on 110v ac, you're already over ten amps when it's on high.
Add your hair dryer, which is itself a mini-space heater, and you'll blow a 15 amp fuse every time.
Without the lights on.
You can figure for yourself if you look at the products themselves. Electrical appliances will have the draw listed on a silver plate/sticker somewhere on it.
As for using something labeled whirlpool, that is probably wired for 220v, so swapping that out is not going to work.
Turn off the space heater while using the hair dryer and problem solved. No need to make life more difficult than it needs to be.

Yours was the GT, based loosely on the Mako Vettes.
Bet you wish you still had it.

Haha, it was red, too. My friend Nancy had a Torino, and between the two of us, we tore it up!

Fondue fork, 4x4 gauze, dental floss
I would avoid gauze because it will absorb too much of the costly lotion.
I would instead use a ziploc sandwich baggie cut it two pieces.
The plastic will ADSORB the lotion instead of absorbing it, thus not wasting any upon application.

The Philistines had cavalry, too.
In the bible, they get called "horsemen".

Wow, we've learned a lot in this thread. Cars, a little Spanish, a little Italian, a little geography, the origin of Subaru, and even the difference between absorption and adsorption.

Ditto. Pretty depressing and nothing like the first except the costumes.

Unless you have severely restricted arm motion, the few inches afforded by the spoon handle should be enough to reach the problem area.

It's too fresh for my personal taste, but it wasn't bad for a Celbuscent!

The spoon idea is as simple and utilitarian as anything and I do like it. No cost, easy clean, specific application amounts - good idea! Thank you all except that sadist t-bird.
