All of a sudden I could not get internet to work. I ran Norton and everything was fixed and still I could not move around on the web...sites were not coming up etc. I had a minor brainstorm and rebooted and did not activate "classic environment" which I need for Eric's solitaire. I logged on to...

Hi Gang - Just wanted to let you know that I received my silk from Kreinik yesterday. Yummy! I bought the Soie Gobelin, Platte, and Perle sets. I checked the site, and they had added a few more things - needles, and of all things, silk batting! I've never heard of it, but that isn't saying a...

Many years ago -- don't ask how many -- I started a cross stitch chart that had the most adorable bunny rabbits in it. I *think* that it came from one of the many cross stitch magazines. The bunnies are all sitting next to each other, and my fuzzy recollection was that it was mostly just the...

OK...I bought the stuff but I'm really worried. I've never used a thread conditioner before and I'm working on the sampler I've metioned in previous posts. It's done in Waterlilies and Splendor along with some #8 Perle Cotton....are you all "sure" that it's OK to use this stuff...I don't want to...

Hey all, my name's Suzane, and I'm new to the group. (After that greeting, I can't help thinking of school days when the teacher comes in and says, "Hello, everyone, my name is Mrs. Smith," and all the students reply in ragged unison, "Hello, Mrs. Smith." haha) Although I may be new to this...

I am so bummed today. We found out that an expected IRS refund has dwindled from $1013 down to $112.** ... and because we e-filed and had the return e-deposited into our account, that $112 had $64 of fees taken out of it . Turns out that that child tax credit check last summer was the problem. ...

Yes, but DoratheXmaself and my full name on the same day? Dora One of the tools spammers use is an autogenerator for address also. It creates addresses out of random letters/characters, with known domains, and they figure many of them will be "good". Also, known addresses from one domain will...

Hi Guys, There is a thread going on over at the AOL needlework board about backstitching. The question about what the "rule" is came up so I thought I would ask here as I know we have a number of people who are certified to do judging. When a piece is entered in competition is it the rule that...
