I'm with Deafgirl! Ewww! Must be a Manthing. Liz

Steamhead, I am so happy you checked in when I saw you were from Alabama! Now hoping other members from that are check in as well! And Bubbabob, so glad your family down there are fine Tornados are nasty. Only experienced one and I hope I never experience another! Liz

That IS cool, Joe! And good for you, Hondaboy for taking such an interest in Japanese. Once you transfer to a four year school, most have Japanese Language Classes available, so check it out! My sister in law's mom is Japanese and even though she speaks "pretty good" English, ooooh, when she gets ticked, she slips into "CwazyJapaneseLady". Yup, pretty funny! A little trivia--when we answer our telephone, we say, "Hello?" When the Danish answer their telephone, they say their first name. Pretty handy, you know who you are talking to right off the bat! Liz

What a hilarious story about the "Weed", Pat! My Grandparents had a Guest House and my Aunt and Cousins stayed there for a couple weeks each summer. Well, when the older Cousins were teenagers, guess what was discovered growing around the tennis court behind the house? Yep, seems Steve, Bob and Mike used that area to dispose of their seeds when on vacation in Michigan... Oh, what a dillema I had when *trying* to explain to my Mom and Grandmother that those plants needed to be destroyed as local folks used the tennis courts....and *trying* to explain just how I knew what those plants were!

My kids' college has a music sharing program through their website *happydance* *happydance* *happydance* I'd share it, but one has to have a student ID to access it. Liz

I don't blame you one bit for drinking the expresso, Joe, I would too!! Can't waste that stuff! Liz

Love it, Marty! Most of these tips I've read before so I'm confident that all of these tips are on the ball! A couple additions: Windex works great on carpet spills/potential stains! "Real Windex", no substitute. Tried and true! Nail Polish Remover is wonderful for removing scotch/masking/duct tape residue, or anything else that is "gummy". AND Efferdent is great for cleaning the insides of bottles! The Dollar Store Stuff works, too. Thanks, Marty, passing it on! Liz

Welcome to the Naughty Gardeners Club, Marty! Wow! If the cops ever showed up to my house saying my opium poppies had to be destroyed, I'd flip! Glad I live in a tinytown and the cops likely are uninterested in my flowerbeds. Like you, I have no idea how to make a drug out of the posies...I just grow them because they "came with the house", they're perinneal and they're so pretty It's tragic that they made you get rid of the plant. What a waste, especially since you were growing it for it's beauty. I have lousy luck with cacti and gave up on trying to grow them--it takes a talented and p

Pat, I googled Salvia Divinorum and it looks like the blue flowered perinneal salvia (that I have in my garden!! Many years ago, I discovered I have Opium Poppies, too So what, they're pretty!! ) I'm surprised at the rhubarb leaves--I thought the stems were ok to eat, but the leaves were poisonus? Liz

Ohhh...my...gosh....it's late here and I only made it through page 4, but so far this sounds so much like my job at the Flooring Store! Which I got "suspended" for twice and eventually quit because I refused to lie to my customers....(Boss couldn't rightfully fire me because my "honest-tactic"-salesfigures were too good, he wanted to!!! ) The upside is that my customers followed me to my next job at the Furniture Store because I was up front with them!! I'll read the rest tomorrow, but right now, the hair on the back of my neck is standing on end! Ewww *shivers*, bringing back some very b

:D Oh, Joe, I'm laughing at Sethook's response...and WITH you, not AT you. Coming from someone who discovered Flash Drives still work just fine after getting sucked up the vacuum cleaner and getting dug out of the vacuum cleaner bag. Liz

Wow, what a lot of great information here!! My 2cents worth: Directions to close the Preview Pane in Outlook and Outlook Express Just delete junk-email without opening it Don't open attachments unless you scan them--or to be totally safe, don't open attachments! Phishing and Nigerian-Type scams--especially if the club has elderly folks in it, they're prime targets And with all the great tips you're giving, DO put the links and brief definitions on a paper handout for them to take home. And THANK YOU, Mike for sharing your knowledge! What a great gift to the Library Club Liz

Novi, you and your wife have the same Birthday??? Wow! Happy Birthday, Mrs. Novi! Hope you had a great day! Liz

Happy *50th* Birthday, Novi and Happy *15th* Birthday, JohnK! Two Milestones! May you both always have the wisdom of a 50 year old but feel like a 15 year old! Liz

But Boudreaux, him, hada real good grip on his haid, yeh. Well, Boudreaux pried

Marty, Pierce's thread had a "You Tube Video Box" in it. Sometimes those gadgets load a little slow, giving the appearance of a blank page (until it loads) Try clicking Pierce's thread again and grab a cup of coffee, then see if there is a Youtube box there. If it's still a blank page, post back for the experts to chew on. Liz

Marty, I didn't help at all but I want to see those Grandbabies!!! Aren't the folks here terrific? Liz

Brian, being an Uncle gives you the Special Priviledge of spoiling the kids rotten (parents can't!) and giving the kids noisy, complicated and battery operated presents (parents won't!) Aunties and Uncles get to have the most fun (and yes, even though my sisters cuss at me at Christmastime, my nieces and nephews are the most fun to buy for Yeah, I'm a wee bit evil....) Liz

Aww, too cute! And they're worth every penny Liz

Well, when IE7 was first offered through automatic updates, I declined it and checked the box, "do not offer this update ever again" Perhaps the user checked this box before XP was reinstalled and MS remembered the user declining the IE7 offer? Does it work like that? (I have no idea, just a guess ) Liz

Well, I'm glad you ask everytime, Nancy! I installed my updates last night problem free thanks to the good reports here. Thanks! Liz

Oh, gotta send that one on....thanks, Jim! Liz

didn't need to click the link to see what you're sending....Bearskin, you are soooo bad!! Liz

Ohhhhh, there it is....I was feeling a bit left out. Didn't clear my cache (No, I don't know how, that's Son's job so I don't need to know how, right?? ) but pressed "refresh" and now I see what everyone's talking about. Nice job, Leprechaun! Liz
