RE: Updating My Computer
Mike
Should be no problem. Most of your list will be automatically updated as you log on to each program and go online. If not, click on the "Look For Updates Here" (or similar) in the programes window, and all should be well. If all else fails simply re-install the program. ... View related article.

RE: Fill Your Bird Feeders
Evelyne
Great timely notice. Although I feed my birds all year round - breeding season is important too.
Some tips:
Try to buy your wild bird seed in bulk.
If you use a table or other platform mix seed with kitchen scraps, especially fruit, fat and veg.
If you use more than one hanging feeder spread them around; birds tend to fight over "their" feeder.
Watch out for four legged visitors - squirrel proof feeders are available; but use only if needed.
Keep an eye on the water - refresh when neccessary.

RE: Organizing Mugs
Jennifer
You could buy some of those cheap coat hangers - those that have three or more hangers attatched. Unscrew the hangers, buy some 1/4inch dowel, drill holes to take the dowel in the hanger about 4inch apart and cut the dowel into 3inch lengths. Now glue the dowel lengths into the hanger, paint the whole assembly and position where you want it and hang your mugs etc. ... View related article.

RE: Homemade Gnat Trap
Penny
I wonder if your idea would work with the Thrips that attack my pears in the spring? Every year for the last three years these little pests have been laying their eggs in the blossom so that when the maggots appear they bore into the fruitlets and destoy nearly all my crop.

Well I shall certaily try this with some pear peel and suspend several cups in the tree this coming spring.

Thanks for a great idea. ... View related article.

RE: My Frugal Life - Saving Money on Public Transportation
I couldn't agree more Elliecat.
Its all about beating the system. Plan ahead; search the internet; interrogate booking offices, information stands and company offices for the best and cheapest deals; get the facts and figures, on paper if you can.

I know! There is no more a confusing confusion of cheap travel systems as there is here in the UK. Thankfully the government is trying to introduce some sort of order. ... View related article.

RE: Memory Garden Stepping Stones
April
Many thanks for a great idea. History in the making, a time capsule at your feet; you don't have to write it down - just stick the shards and objects that tell the story in plain old cement. Any shape or size will do, as the cement dries it should shrink a little allowing easy extraction from the mould. Wonderful idea for clubs or schools. ... View related article.

RE: Saving Just the Tips You Want
Create a new folder in partition D: (or wherever you keep you files for printing/processing) but not partition C:.
Call this folder something simple, like 'Text', open it then create several sub-folders like - 'Hobbies'; 'Crafts'; 'Food'; 'Health'; 'Home' etc, etc.
Now when you come across a tip or artcle you like on a website simlpy highlite it using the mouse (be sure to highlight the website and auther). Next hit copy (control-C) open Word Pad and paste (Control-V). The information you have highlighted will then be transfered to Word Pad and you can then open the File menu, click on SaveAs (give it your own title at this stage) and transfer it to the appropriate sub-folder (see above). ...

RE: Caring for a Honeysuckle
Dana
There are several varieties of Honeysuckle. Some grow tall, some climb, some have colorful blooms and yet others have a scent. Sadly it looks as though yours has no scent. As it was attached to a trellis it is probably a climber, needs little attention except to train it in the direction you want it to grow. You should also cut out dead or damaged growth and thin it out every so often. ... View related article.
