Google is annoying me


I am annoyed with the Google search engine cartoons, particularly the animated ones.  It used to be that you had to click on a cartoon to get the animation but not anymore.  Now they are always moving.  I feel under attack.  It has gotten so I don't like to use Google search.

I like many of the Google Doodles and there are a few I love.  But I get tired of most of them well before they take them down.  I would always like the choice of  the classic search page without the cutesy cartoons and animations.  I couldn't find a way to get that.

But I found a solution.  I made a link to Google images instead of the web search.  I use image search a lot anyway.  But if I want a web search,  I can put in my search terms and switch to a web search WITHOUT the annoying animated cartoons.

As I said, I like many of them.  I think this is my favorite Google Doodle ever.

Marmoleum drawer liners

We are using marmoleum scraps to line many of our new drawers.  It makes a great liner for shelves as well. I asked our installer for tips on how to cut it and he said to score the back and then break it.  That is not how he cut it for our floor but what he recommended I use to cut out rectangles like I want..  I tried using my rotary cutter to score it and the technique works great.  Here is my second drawer.  I love how it looks.


Only 22 more drawers to go.
