I have a Christmas cactus, which is now at least 10 years old and beginning to look very nice. At the moment it lives in an add-on extension, i.e. quite cool, next to an outside door. I'd like to...
I've recently deleted one of My Favourites from my list. It was a discussion group for something which has now finished; I used to receive emails whenever a comment was added to the site. I am now...
Good morning and welcome for the last time to my reign as Lady Jill. I was sorry to see that there were fewer entries than usual last week, and hope it was because of the good weather and other...
Good morning and Welcome to the third week of my reign as Lady Jill. As the weeks go by, I become less and less like my nom de plume of tearinghair and more serene as a Lady ought to be! I note that...
Good morning and Welcome to the second week of my stint as Lady Jill. Let’s see if you can repeat last week’s “Pointsfest”. As further background, I’ve lived in Warwick...
Good Morning everyone, and Welcome to the first week of my reign in which I attempt to bamboozle you all! To begin the process, I have clearly bamboozled Crofter in finding me a suitable royal title....
I recently had to unplug the PC, since when I've had to sign in to everything all over again. I'm having trouble with Yahoo Mail; previously I only had to sign in with my password every couple of...
I have Norton Security 09 installed on my PC. OK, I know what you all think of it, but I'm stuck with it for a few more months yet. I keep getting a message asking me to go with Identity Safe. Is this...
Some time ago I accidentally trod on some bluetak on the carpet, and didn't notice it for a while. I tried romoving it with ice cubes, then with heat, but nothing worked and now it's firmly embedded...
I'm not much of a gardener, but have always looked after the roses, leaving most of the rest to He Who Must Be Obeyed. This year I cut them back quite severely in March, so they are only just starting...
A couple of times in the last few days an item has appeared at the top left of my screen 'MCI command handling window'. I've never seen this before. Should I be worried, and can I get rid of it?
We have an oil painting - bequeathed to us because nobody liked it I think - which is of a rural scene, a pond and trees. It certainly seems quite old, Victorian I'd say at a guess, and has the...
Could someone please tell me how to find out which version of Word is installed on my computer? I know I should be able to do it, but I'm having no success and I do feel such an idiot! Many thanks.
I'm trying to free up some disk space. When I deleted a number of photos, itunes and other files it seemed to make very little difference to the available space. I run disk cleaner and defragment...
I'm puzzled. I frequently print photos (via CamediaMaster, the program that came with my camera). Before doing this, I change the B/W cartridge (HP 56) for the photo cartridge (HP 58). But the one...
I've just had an email from AB saying that I haven't been online for some time and how about giving it another try? This is clearly wrong; my last post was on Saturday and I browse several sections...
When I try to copy a document sent from elsewhere to My Documents, it appears in a file called Scrap, which I have never seen before. If I then try to forward it, it is quarantined (at least by one of...
TV picture on Sky is breaking up badly; worse in adverts but spreading to programmes too now. Is it likely to be an aerial problem, so that we need to get someone to reorientate dish, or might it be...
