sugarb, Do you have a photo hosting site like photobucket? If you tell us what you have available, we can help you post pics. I use photobucket. I place my pictures there, and when I want to post one here, I first left click on the HTML code under the pic, and it turns green. Then right click, and select Copy from the pop-up. Then come back to your post and simply paste the info your post below what you've written. All you see is a few rows of code, but when you Preview Message before placing it on this site, it'll show the photo. You can put multiple pictures into one post using that method.

I would think twice about knocking down any walls in a Tudor. And then think twice again. A separate dining room would be a very sad thing to lose. And yes, you'd be losing formality by opening up a formal social zone to a private work zone. Wood cabinets, peferably on the dark side, would really be the ideal cabinets for a Tudor, so I don't think painting would be the automatic right move for changing the kitchen either. It's going to require a careful thoughtful approach to do something that doesn't have the out of place feel of a kids nursery in a Wall Street boardroom, or that doesn't veer too far into caricature of Goth chic. There was a whole design exercise thread with Tudors as the focal point. You really should read the whole thing, even though many of the links are now broken. There is still enough left that works that should give you some ideas as to the suitable direction that the style of your home demands. Here is a link that might be useful: Design Around This #9: Tarting Up a Tudor

I usually don't have a problem checking in; except when I am asked to re-do my name etc. I am having difficulties viewing the photos that are occasionally included here. I think it is a problem 'this end' as we have so much anti-spyware on the computer. I had to go to Internet Explorer to see the recent pics . . .which I enjoyed looking at. ;-)

I have not had the notifications problems, but it’s sometimes difficult to post. The closer I am to my wireless source usually the better the load. It also has to do with your bandwidth And you have. Also, some times of the day are better than others. Agree with sherrygirl, evenings can be better. Also it could how old your iPad is. Sometimes if you have an old version it takes longer to do things or you stop being able to get software updates which make it easier. This is why I had to buy a new desktop, the one I had could not use any newer versions of Safari. Good luck!
