To avoid using the Adobe download manager, you can get the latest Flash installer for Firefox here: http://www.softwarepatch.com/software/flash-standalone-installation-firefox.html I don’t want to have to install extra software on my computers to download a tiny, tiny file.

So with dogs becomes accidents. And with messy accidents comes a wife telling you to clean them up. She does have a good excuse there. So we got some cleaning tools to help us out. We needed a replacement dust buster, ours stopped taking a charge long ago. We picked up a Dirt Devil Scorpion [...]
