A phone in a glittery case.

Watch For Faulty Surge Protector When ChargingMy phone died a slow death. The battery melted the casing, and the battery was too old to be replaced. When I replaced it, the whole phone, darn it, and charged up the new phone, I realized it was blazing hot! Even the wall adapter was hot. At first, I thought it was the wall adapter, tossed it, was too cheap. No, it was the bad surge protector. It was free to me, which probably meant it wasn't supposed to be used in the first place, oops. Well, I was penny wise and dollar foolish. Check your adapters. If they're hot, check what's causing that. I had to buy a NEW phone, gosh! Yes, I also bought a new case for it. Sue me for free, lol.

How Do I Price the Ceramic Bisque I Want To Sell?I have some ceramic bisque I want to sell. I researched and found a formula for pricing them which is start with the price of the mold x 10% for green ware, add 5% if you clean it and another 5% if you fire it. So green ware would be 10% of the mold price and bisque would be 20% of the mold price. However, I have several pieces that I don't know how much the mold cost and I can't find them on the internet. Does anyone know how to price a mold? Or is there another formula to use?

A collection of leather hand farm tools.
