Deck The Halls -- Safely

-Plug outside lights into a ground fault protected outlet. If you don't have one, use a ground fault protected extension cord.

-Speaking of cords, lightweight extension cords (lamp cords) should never be used outside. Use an extension cord that is rated for the load. And if the cord is warm when in use, it's too small.

-If you are planning lots of lights split them up on two or more circuits so as to not trip breakers when you flip the switch.

Knife Safety Don't throw out cardboard tubes from paper toweling. Instead, flatten them and seal one end shut with staples or tape. Then you can use them to store sharp knives in kitchen drawers. Adding Folders In Outlook Express

The best way to keep track of all your mail messages is to move them into topic-related folders. This is an easy thing to do if you use Outlook Express. To add a new folder, open your folders, right-click Local Folders and choose New Folder. Type in a name for your new folder and click OK.
