I have a home that is 70 yrs old, it even has a ironing board built into the wall and a plug for an electric clock in the kitchen. I have an outlet/lightswitch combo on this outlet, the only one in the house has a little orange light in it. Most times it is off but it comes on every now and then. Usually after we have had teh light on that is used by that switch.
Anybody know why that light comes on, and only stays on for a few hours then shuts off (the little orange light) it usualy turns off after we turn off the wall light above it and is about an hour after that.
TEN points to whoever can answer this.
Have lived here 3 years and would like to know why.

That orange light sounds strange! i would punch it out
It’s an automatic shut off switch for the iron, if you leave it on by mistake.
This switch might be a 3 way switch there may be another switch on the other side of the room , when the other switch is in the up position the lighted switch is off
That should be an illuminated switch. It should glow orange when the switch is off. Kind of a nite light, so you don`t stick your fingers in the receptacle by accident at nite when trying to find the light switch. If its that old and the light still works even part time you are lucky. They usually only last 10-20 yrs. You can still buy them at most hardware stores. $8-24.
Yay: I have three issues of NME from 1993! / Boo: I have to go to work now. Hopefully the rain will cause some sort of electrical fault…

COOL
If your metal junction box is grounded, you can attach a jumper wire from the new outlet to the box. If it's not, then by code you will need to ground each box. With power off check for continuity between box and neutral wire with a test meter. If there is continuity then the box is grounded. If the boxes are fed by metal sheathed cable then you probably have a grounded box.

The law may differ according to which country you are renting in. The electicity should be safe and if the landlord possesses a valid electrical safety certificate such as the PAT test for appliances then that can be useful in selecting your property. Check for what is required with your local housing officer at the council-they may have licensed your landlord and inspected the electrics.

Main stream media doesn’t want to report the truth. They are telling the opposite.

I’m with Anika. I have no qualms about turning my ringer off if someone calls me excessively. I’ll even set my phone to not ring for a particular person if they call too often. Leave a message. If you don’t leave a message, I’ll assume it’s not important.
why don't you do it? there are all kinds of outlets here on campus for it.

A key difference here might be that people are sharing news on Facebook that has an aspect of immediacy. When something big is happening in the world, some news is breaking, we might tend to look toward media outlets where we expect to find breaking news – broadcast media. Broadcast media have been handling news on a continuing 24 hour cycle for a while and, while print media have certainly changed to adopt this never ending cycle, we may still look to broadcast media first for these stories.

I've been travelling a lot and I'm very much concerned about this issue. It's good to learn from each other in order to create the atmosphere of love and understanding among people around the world.

i meant to say “this is extravagant living”. sure you can have quality/beauty in your home and it will still be green. but extravagance does not equal green. if you don’t agree….then i’ll explain it to you…lol

Hi Helur,
Your questions aren't stupid as well – I remember myself in your position and these were the very same things I was racking my head about!
So first off – you need a PayPal account – and therefore credit card as well. But you can use your current bank account to fund the PayPal account, I think so this one might not be mandatory.
About the refunds – it depends on the product category you're selling. If it's underware, for instance, you will state it on your listings that you offer no refunds. But for other items you sure want to use the 30 day refund policy as it's been proven to get higher bids. Simply the bidders feel safer!
And if the bid doesn't get as high as you want and there's been at least one bidder, then yes, you have to sell it. That's the downside of online auctions…. But then give it an optimal starting price – not too high and not too low.
And to make sure you're getting most out of your eBay business – you can get loads of free stuff via the link below.
Hope this'll help!

This assumes market choice. Most Toronto schools and homes have lead pipes for example. Bottled water is critical.
but our girls will not be on it today so why i am asking?? hehehe
