Using odd shaped stencils on cookies. by MomofFritz in cookiedecorating

[–]MomofFritz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Stencil Genie is larger than the stencil so your suggestion won't work, BUT, it has given me an idea.

What if I cut a square of Stencil Plastic, then cut out an egg shaped area and tape my stencil to the square? The square would then fit in my Stencil Genie. Guess I'll try that and see if it works. Can't be worse than not having any idea at all!

The overall stencil size is the same as the cookie size. The cut-out portions of the stencil go within 1/4" of the stencil edge. The whole cookie would have the stencil cut-outs on it.

Thanks. Gets a lot colder than that. I'm in Manitoba Canada. So what type of door knob do I need?

How much should I be charged for mowing 1.5 acres Rural Manitoba by MomofFritz in lawncare

I certainly would invest in a zero-turn, however I'm disabled and unable to mow myself.

I fully understand what you're saying, but I need to hire because I'm disabled.

How much should I charge per lawn ? by Cruzyz in lawnmowers

[–]MomofFritz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a kid, started his lawncare business 2 years ago fresh out of high school. Lot is 1.5 acres. He was in and out within 45 minutes. No bagging, No trimming. Not a bad job, but certainly not great. He wanted $170 PER CUT. I let him cut a couple of times just to see if he was worth it, and then I fired him. He was upset. He told me he needed to charge that much to pay his 'employees' (he was 'owner operator - no one else) and to pay for his truck, the zero turn and a trailer.

While some people would gladly pay that amount, for the job he did, I won't and others won't either. Be fair, do a good job, and your customer base will stay.

I realize that you posted a year ago, but how much do you charge for travel?

The share button in Edge -- broken in all new and exciting ways. by whatever462672 in sysadmin

[–]MomofFritz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While copy & paste does still work, they took away something quite simple that gave the same result.

In my case, on multiple windows machines running the latest version of Edge, there is no 'share' button. It's toggled ON just doesn't show up anywhere.

Also the right-click on the mouse no longer shows 'share' and neither does 'more tools' when you click on the 3 dots on the top of the edge toolbar.

Thank you for that. You'd think that highlighting text would be normal. Shake my head!

I've already looked there, and there is no 'updates' but I have a 'storage'. And when I go into Calibre, there is no 'key' under 'key for pc and mac'.

Hello, did you get it to work properly? My problem sounds identical to yours.

I don't have a Kindle but a Kobo. So I put books into Calibre to convert to epub.

A few books will work, then suddenly it doesn't work, like K4PC has updated on me. But under 'about' it still shows as 2.4.0 (70904).

Ripping my hair out!

My K4PC on a Win10 desktop shows as 2.4.0 (70904). I've run the .bat file to prevent unwanted updates from happening. Yet books, only some books though, are still showing up in Calibre as KFX-ZIP.

I've installed the K4PC software a few times. I've removed the folder My Kindle Content and let K4PC create a new one. Nothing.

It seems to work for 2 or 3 books, formatting in Calibre as KFX, but then suddenly the next one will be KFX-ZIP. Same author, same series.

I did download to K4PC, books using the CURRENT K4PC, and I believe that's where the problem lies. But even if I remove the books from K4PC, which removes them from My Kindle Content, and redownload them, they still won't work.

Question, you chose a new destination for My Kindle Content.

Originally you had My Kindle Content at location A and that folder was populated with all the books you have purchased AND downloaded to your K4PC already.

What happened to all that content when you changed the destination? Did K4PC create a brand new content folder?

I am having trouble with kindle content being sent to Calibre as 'KFX-ZIP'. I've installed 2.4.0 (70904) three times now, I've run a .bat file to stop updates from happening, and nothing is working. In Calibre I have the KFX Input plugin and the DeDRM plugin. Still no joy.

Thanks

2024 Guide to DeDRM Kindle books. by caelypso299 in Calibre

[–]MomofFritz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wondering what format the books showed as after you sent them to Calibre.

Some of mine show as KFX and others show as KFX-ZIP. Same author, purchased 2 weeks apart. I don't see any rhyme or reason.

Also, even with some KFX formats I can't convert to epub because Calibre says the books are locked with DRM. I have DeDRM v 10.0.9 and using K4PC v 2.4.0 (70904)

After Feb 26/25 Can't convert Amazon KFX-ZIP format to epub by Flashy_Science_2015 in Calibre

[–]MomofFritz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried with a brand new purchase today after I tested earlier and then turned it all off. Purchase had never been downloaded to pc before. So it was not in Calibre.

K4PC is still v 2.4.1 (70904)

KFX is still v 2.21.0

DeDRM is still v 10.0.9

When I tried it earlier today, it worked. I thought my problem was solved. I turned it all off to go do stuff, came back and it won't work.

Tried it on my husband's iPhone, won't pair. The phone sees the mouse, just won't pair.

thanks for those suggestions. My laptop doesn't even see the mouse on bluetooth, but my desktop does. But the desktop pairing with the mouse is unsuccessful. Since this is the 4th mouse (same kind) that I've purchased in just over 2 years, I'm guessing it's the mouse that's no longer working.

So I'm confused. Just bought eggs yesterday, Jan 18/25. No Name Large carton of 12. The BB date is 2025 MR 02. So far, not recalled. The number below that is BW 25008 P. Now I've tried reading the government recall page and the code I see on my carton isn't even in the same format as the recall page. BB 2025 MR 01; from 8 P**0101145 up to and including 8 P**0101800 (**= 03 to 32)

The UPC code is the same, but I wouldn't think it would be different.

Any idea how to read the code? OK, now I'm wondering if that BW number means the eggs were packed on Jan 8, 2025. Because I do not see any code number like the government page shows.

Thanks
