Is this potty chair big enough/sturdy enough for 3-5 year olds (who are already potty-trained) for using on road trips? | I'd say it's sturdy enough, but it's not very high off the ground- 6" to the seat height. It's also not very deep from the back of the seat to the pee cup- about 8". I guess it would depend on how big your kids are. |
Is this potty chair big enough/sturdy enough for 3-5 year olds (who are already potty-trained) for using on road trips? | Its definitely sturdy. My 2 yr old is pretty comfortable and he is average size. It may work, you can always return it once you get it if your 5 yr old is too big. I agree its better than other options on the road. My 2 year hold sits on it sometimes 30 minutes reading books. |
Is this potty chair big enough/sturdy enough for 3-5 year olds (who are already potty-trained) for using on road trips? | I would think so. The only removable part is the white insert for dumping. I'm not sure how well the 5 year old would fit on it though? But if its just for road trips, then its definitely better than nothing! |
I purchased the 5 stage filter after 1week the water dripped around it but not through it...Santevia said tap on the bottom of the filter didn't work | Im sorry, I did not encounter this problem- But I did notice that the water flows through the 5 stage filter much faster the more you refill.....it did kinda seem to drip at first. |
WIDTH OF WHEEL CHAIR | The chair that I have is 18" wide in the seat area. I believe you can get them in 16", 18" and 20" seat widths. |
WIDTH OF WHEEL CHAIR | Ad says 18 which is seat width. Outside width approx 24 which fits thru most doors. Wheelchair seats do come in wider sizes in increments of 2in. Be aware of seat height also if plan to have feet rest on floor or use legs to self propel. |
What size would best fit a mens size 8 shoe? I'm tempted to go for medium but wondered whether a small might be a better fit. | I am a Men's 5 women's 6. Having a size 8 men's foot I would go larger than the small. The measurement on the soul from center heal to center toe is 9 inches on the small. |
What size would best fit a mens size 8 shoe? I'm tempted to go for medium but wondered whether a small might be a better fit. | I wear size 6 women's. I ordered a small..fits perfect. A little extra toe room but not in a bad way. I followed my gut and came all right. |
Can it be used with Verizon carrier? | I don't know that it can be used with Verizon. My parents used this phone in Europe because it does not have a sim card locked into a carrier. When they came back, the phone was added to my TMobile plan. TMobile uses removable sim cards to allow greater flexibility in the phone you want. Last I knew Verizon only allowed their own phones -- the sim cards are locked into their service and are not removable to any phone. |
Does it have wheels or not? User reviews here claim both ways. Can I roll it around when folded up? | I don't think I've ever moved mine, but I went and looked and yes, it does have wheels. It folds too. |
Are these K cups or Vue cups? | K-cups. I am assuming to avoid a plastic taste they use that paper like filter. The coffee is very good. One of my favorites. |
Will this work on a 5 inch shotgun microphone? If not could somebody recommend one for me? Thank you Bradley. | The Rode dead kitten fits on a Shure SM57 but the elastic band is just a little loose which means the kitten could slide forwards and backwards in a strong wind and create noise while recording. This can easily be fixed by adding a tight rubber band around the elastic band to tighten things up. I'm not exactly sure about the circumference of your shotgun mic but hopefully this comparison to my Shure SM57 will help. Good luck. |
Will this work on a 5 inch shotgun microphone? If not could somebody recommend one for me? Thank you Bradley. | No, it will not... This is more for handheld recorders. If you want a Rode product that will, look at the Rode WS6. It is a bit more pricey though, currently $60.00 at Amazon. it will handle up to a 6" or so shotgun mic. Hope this help!-Joe |
Will this work on a 5 inch shotgun microphone? If not could somebody recommend one for me? Thank you Bradley. | If the microphone you are mentioning is the thickness of say, a roll of nickels or quarters, then no... I don't think it would work that well. If it was an SM57/58, then the RDK would fit over the bulbous metal wind screen and be secure on the SM57/58... I thought the RDK screens were really meant for handheld audio recorders and for that, It works great. Most audio recorders have that rectangular shaped "boxy" design to them and for that physical type of gear, the RDK windscreen fits it snugly over the mic pods and stays put once that elastic band grips onto the rectangular casing... Sorry that I cannot recommend a screen for the mic you have mentioned. |

Can I put them on my car? | I put the on the exterior of my dog kennel and they have been fine in -10 degree weather and in the summer in the 90's. |
is the output (110VAC) regulated at 60 cycles? | Yes, it outputs 60 Hz but DOES NOT output a sine wave. Small inverters of this type put out what is sometimes called "dirty" 60Hz power, which is perfectly fine for most (modern) digital electronics, incandescent lights, and SOME motors. It is not good for other kinds of motors some fluorescent lights, and many analog audio systems (you'll hear a hum). I'm afraid I don't know which motors are OK and which are not. |
is the output (110VAC) regulated at 60 cycles? | Hi Gary, I am not certain if it is regulating at 60 cycles. I do know that it works wonderful when there is two computers plugged in. They both work without any problems and keep them charged. Hope this helps. Kristine |
how do you emtpy this sharpener? | There is a button in the lower back that pops open the entire bottom plate which dumps the shavings in one second. |
how do you emtpy this sharpener? | There is a button at the bottom of the sharpener for you to empty it. A little door opens and all the debris falls out. |
how do you emtpy this sharpener? | You can open it underneath. But you can't take out if the graphite breaks and then, probably your sharpener will be already broken. I bought one and it worked good for 5 minutes just before this happen. I don't advice anyone on buy it. |
how do you emtpy this sharpener? | There's an oval button on the back by where the cord is plugged in. Push that button and the bottom pops open so that you can empty the sharpener. Be sure you're holding it upside down when you push the button or the shavings will fall out all over you and whatever else is under it! |
"Pay close attention to areas they lick such as genitals" Does this line in the instructions mean we should make sure to GET those areas, or not use too much of the product in those areas because they'll lick it? | i guess maybe not too much, because if they lick those places it will get inside of them (they will swallow it ) so i guess not too much :D |
kind of tight do these stretch out | I got my wet on a rainy day and they did stretch a little around the toe. They are very comfortable now. |
kind of tight do these stretch out | I have tried to stretch on shoe stretchers but it didn't work. I bought two sizes and both were tight. The shoe in the larger size seems to get a little bit better after wearing for a while but still tight. |
kind of tight do these stretch out | A little, mine have only been worn three times, they seem to stretch the more you wear them. |
kind of tight do these stretch out | Do not know as I returned them because they were too tight not a little tight. |
kind of tight do these stretch out | I've been wearing these sandals for over a month and they are still kind of tight. they don't seem to have stretched out at all. not as comfortable as the last pair by any means |
kind of tight do these stretch out | I didn't think they would stretch enough for me. They aren't leather and the stitching was well done. The shoes seemed well made and the material didn't seem like it would wear out easily. If you are able to go up a size, it might help? Not sure! Columbia makes gear for the outdoors so I can see why these are made to support you while walking. I really wish they had fit me! Hope this helps! |
kind of tight do these stretch out | Well, one of the many things I have loved about these shoes is the fact that they don't change in size, at all. So, sadly, I am going to have to say "no" to your question. Sorry that this is probably not the answer you were looking for. |
kind of tight do these stretch out | yes! I hope you like them as much as I do. I could walk for miles in them! :) |
kind of tight do these stretch out | Hopeful that they will stretch a bit; I have high arches and foot was not going into sandal easily. The sandal is made nicely and when walking comfortable; and, if I can use the stretcher enough, maybe I can work it out so that I can wear then regularly without stopping the blood blow.. |
How does the performance tip work? | The Beyblade is propelled from the release of the launcher. It is then a super, fast spinning top. The tip stands up to many surfaces. Ours has been launched on tile, hardwood floors, bathtubs, concrete, and now in the plastic arena sold at stores. It's pretty indestructible. The tip hasn't worn at all. I'm impressed considering it is used for hours daily and we've owned it for months. |
How does the performance tip work? | Well, when you spin it the slots on the side of the performance tip stick out and let it spin on regular material for performance tips. Then once the speed lessens the slots go back in and the performance tip goes in and it goes into final drive mode. I didn't believe it would do that with a performance tip but it does, it's awesome. |
How does the performance tip work? | When you launched the bey, it stays in a sort of rubber semi-flat. Once the performance tip is hit or loses spin, the rubber semi-flat will hide inside of that hole. the performance tip will now become a rubber hole flat, and will go crazy around the stadium until the bey runs out of stamina. |
How airtight are these? I live in GA & the humidity in my house causes the spices (esp. the salt & garlic salt) to clump. Would these prevent that? | My home is in westernKy and my garlic salt has clumped. These jars are glass with plastic twist-on lids. The lids are pretty brittle - I have had two crack when I twisted them. Having said that, they are a convenient size to fit my spice drawers. |
How airtight are these? I live in GA & the humidity in my house causes the spices (esp. the salt & garlic salt) to clump. Would these prevent that? | I keep my salt from clumping by adding a small amount of raw rice in the shaker. I wonder if this might be worth trying with the spices you use. I live in Alabama but haven't noticed clumping. Of course, I don't use spices often, so . . . |
How airtight are these? I live in GA & the humidity in my house causes the spices (esp. the salt & garlic salt) to clump. Would these prevent that? | I live in Utah, so I don't have the humidity problem you have but I haven't had any problems with the spices clumping. I hope this helps. |

I like the output remote its nice for on the fly adjustment. Cant compare it to the other unit as I have not seen it. |
What is meant by "side discharge"? The picture shows the discharge to be in the up direction. | Kenneth, it is actually top and side discharge. You can rotate the 'wet end' by removing a few long screws from the other end and turning the discharge 90 degrees. It is a fairly simple task to do, and it just takes a little time. The pump has performed well for me as a side discharge and works effectively on both the low and high settings. |
What is meant by "side discharge"? The picture shows the discharge to be in the up direction. | The water discharge be moved to either a side or upright position depending on your needs. The seller sent me the instructions and was not difficult . Great pump and savings as i have had 2 years . |

Are they soft? My teeth can't really handle the hard and tough conversation hearts that are often sold. | No, they aren't. My kids could eat them but I sucked on them. They are the original candy which were hard. |
Are they soft? My teeth can't really handle the hard and tough conversation hearts that are often sold. | No they are not, the best ones to buy if you want soft ones are the Brach's! |
Are they soft? My teeth can't really handle the hard and tough conversation hearts that are often sold. | No, they are "hard", but dissolve in your mouth... I'm an older fella and don't have any teeth at all. I just like them because I can suck on a few and they keep me from having "dry mouth". Alot of the medications I take make my mouth dry, and they prevent this... All I can say is that I like them. |
Are they soft? My teeth can't really handle the hard and tough conversation hearts that are often sold. | No, not really. If you let them melt in your mouth a little then they break a part fairly easy! |

Once installed, how far does the slide come out of the cupboard? Is the sliding shelf 7" wide and the prongs that hold items 9" tall? | it comes out a bit more than 13inches. The sliding part is about 7.5 inches wide, base slightly less. I think it's slightly less than 9inches tall. |
Once installed, how far does the slide come out of the cupboard? Is the sliding shelf 7" wide and the prongs that hold items 9" tall? | I installed this sliding shelf into my cupboard which is 7 15/32" wide, just under 7 1/2" wide, and it just *barely* fit, but it fits. I screwed in wooden risers several inches high so that the hinge hardware isn't in the way when pulling the shelf in and out. The height of the entire assembly is 9". It pulls out 13 1/2" from the cupboard face. This item is very useful for out baking sheets and muffin tins. I recommend it. |

I am networking the WD Book through my Time Capsule so I can share the drive via WiFi for backing up my and my wife's iMacs using Time Machine. It works great.

I did read prior to buying that it was a good idea to reformat to expanded directory. I have the option for TimeCapsule or just extra disc space and Photoshop scratch disk. |

How is one supposed to be able to tell how much liquid is dispensed into the marked dosage vessel on the side if you can't see through the bottle????? | I know to give it a squeeze, however, it is not possible to see through the bottle to see if the dosage is correct or needs adjusting (I give my horses a similar product, but the bottle is see through so you can see how much you have squeezed into the receptacle/collection area). |
How is one supposed to be able to tell how much liquid is dispensed into the marked dosage vessel on the side if you can't see through the bottle????? | I thought the same thing - pointless! I just keep one of those cough syrup dosage cups with it. |
How is one supposed to be able to tell how much liquid is dispensed into the marked dosage vessel on the side if you can't see through the bottle????? | Just give it a squeeze! the remainder will go back in the bottle giving you a consistant dosage. It is ok to give a bit more as well. I have inquired with a number of vets. It will not "overdose" just will not be effective. My extremely picky st bernard (tough to take pills) loves this stuff and you can definately notice an improvement on her mobility. |

Sorry I can't be mor specific but I hope it helps a little. |

Does anyone use a recipe to make this into body lotion? | Yes! I have used it to make lotion, lotion bars, and lip balm. Love it! It does have a rich chocolate scent that is impossible to cover, so don't try. Use Shea butter instead. But the chocolate scent works really well combined with peppermint or orange. Basic recipe is equal parts butter (Shea or Cocoa) and an oil (coconut, olive) with beeswax (amount determines how firm the product will be). Best way to test a recipe is to start with small amounts, place ingredients in a small jelly jar, and heat in a pan of water until everything melts. Remove from heat, let sit for a few minutes and then stir in essentials oils if using. The jar becomes your storage container, so you don't have any cleanup. |

Best way to test a recipe is to start with small amounts, place ingredients in a small jelly jar, and heat in a pan of water until everything melts. Remove from heat, let sit for a few minutes and then stir in essentials oils if using. The jar becomes your storage container, so you don't have any cleanup. « Show Less |
Does anyone use a recipe to make this into body lotion? | I have and it's a great base when used with beeswax, however the smell is extremely hard to cover. I've used oils like lavender and rosemary to try to overpower but can still smell the cocoa. I have he same problem when I use it in making bar soap as well. It's great for skin but hard to work with the scent. |
