Profile For JustPlainJo -

Hi, my name is Jo. I'm an "empty nester," and my hubby Dwight and I live in a small ranch-style home with our three dogs. There's Caesar, our 5-year-old English Mastiff, Tigger, our 2-year-old mutt, and Princess, our 1-year-old American Bulldog. I'm the "penny pincher" in the household, and I sometimes fight a losing battle to keep hubby from overspending!

RE: Asking an Out-of-Town Friend to a Dance
I don't want to be a party pooper, but you might want to make sure your school allows "outside" participants - that is, students from other schools - at functions like Sadie's first. It would be awful to get everything arranged and have the principal walk up and say your friend has to leave! ... View related article.

RE: Deleting Temporary Files On Your Computer
Okay, I'm what you might call semi-savvy where computers are concerned. And bear in mind, I'm on a Windows XP machine.
First, I'd recommend backing up all your documents and pictures. I have a "flash drive," aka a "jump drive" or "thumb drive. I simply open my My Documents folder and copy and paste everything in it. I know how many items should be in that folder; if the number isn't right (say, 16 instead of 15 items,) I check it out and delete if necessary.

As an alternative to the original suggestion, you could also do a search for files ending in .tmp. When the list comes up, begin highlighting and deleting. Don't forget to make a note of the time you got your important files backed up and started deleting stuff, in case you need to do a system restore. Might save losing important files. ...
