A long time member of the forum changed her name a few years ago, and the system automatically changed her date. She was one of our earliest members, and enjoyed having the earlier date on her profile. Much has changed since that, and I don't know if the system does that anymore. Sammy

I am extremely security conscious obviously, I use hard nonsense passwords and rarely ever use the same password for anything , for security sensitive sites I never use the same and always use hardened password. I have one notebook I keep everything written down in, I keep it in a secure locked location, I do NOT put them on my pc and NEVER in my email account if your email is hacked they have access to every single one of your accounts and passwords that is the biggest no no of them all because email accounts are so easily hacked these days. For those doing that I urge you to reconsider!!! If someone manages to break into my house past me and my husband and dogs and our weapons and manage to steal my computers and also find the locked location of my password book and break into that and find that particular notebook then they can have it because I will be cold and dead by then. And I would imagine they will be shedding a little blood too. The only other location is in a lock drawer in a completely separate location, not in my home, in case of a fire or catastrophe here. I never allow the browser to remember passwords and never ever keep any type of password or registration info in my email since email is so insecure.

Those plastic cove fixtures might turn out to be wonderfully cool with carefully selected color temps in the bulbs. But the carpet has to go! You're much braver/saner than I in tackling so many sequential kitchen renos. They'd have to hospitalize me if it fell to me. Will watch to see what your plans turn out to be (the Kalcebo kitch was very nice, so I'm sure this one will be, too.) ::shakes head:: Twice tonight someone mentioned carpet in a kitchen, when did that ever come in? And what were they thinking? Does anyone cook neatly enough to never slop anything on the floor? My kitchen floors, if carpeted, would turn into a compost pile sooner or later! L

Before I was on Reader's Paradise I was (and am still) a regular poster on the Antique Roses Forum. In a post some years ago a good friend of mine there tossed off a series of spoof online names, one of which was Rosefolly. I seized upon it and registered it instantly. My friend was a bit bewildered. She had no idea someone would actually want the name! I like it for its double meaning, a folly being an ornamental garden structure, and yes, I do love roses to the point of folly, just as I do books. My real name is Paula, and I am blessed in that I actually like the name I was given by my mother. Not everyone is so lucky. However I also really enjoy having another name in the online world.
