How do you get your city to display?

13 years ago

I see user names followed by zone and a city name. I have editted my profile and can find no way to do this. The zone does display. Can someone help me display my city name? thanks, Paul

Hi Paul, it is in the zone box. I just typed 8 then my county but years ago I had my city displayed. Same way, zone then city
Good luck and it could just be a glitch on GW

Creatively displaying plants...how do YOU do it?
Q
Comments (11)
I can't really display my plants because of light reasons. I just have to smoosh them up against the window and hope for the best. Honestly I don't even see a good number of them for most of the week because they're behind closed blinds. Actually I think my worst-displayed plant is the Pedilanthus. It was braided around some plastic stake that I can't get out of it, ever, and is also topheavy and growing at a weird angle because of said stake. So I have it flopped over on its side behind my NIP. The parts that get light are growing normally and look fine although the pink variegation isn't showing up. I should get a picture of it actually. Maybe get some advice on what to do with it short of a complete disassemble-and-reroot.

How do you display your glassware?
Q
Comments (16)
I have mine in an old French glass door cabinet. I still have to stain a couple of shelves so you will see that some are light in the cabinet, but the display works. Eventually this will all go in the butlers pantry but for now it's handy to have in the parlor next to the dining room. In our house guests get to pick their wine or drink glasses. Everyone has a lot of fun with this. I have several patterns of depression glass, crystal, fancy glass and even glass ware from the 50's and 60's, rarely more than six pieces of each type. I display them on shelves based on their use (champagne, cordials, wine, water, high/low ball and beer) and try to keep the pieces together on the shelf. I will take a couple of pics for you tonight but it's kind of dark in there so if they aren't great I'll come back and do more tomorrow for you if you want.

how do you display your kids' trophies?
Q
Comments (9)
This was discussed over in the organizing forum. Before you figure out where to display them, you first have to figure out if they are meaningful to him or if you are the one who wants to display them. Some kids like trophies and if he does, then by all means figure out a display option. Creating a shelf that runs around the perimeter of the room at the same height as the top of the window can be a tremendous amount of display space w/out compromising the play space in his room. If they aren't meaningful to your child than get rid of them. You can donate them to youth programs to be reused if you can't stomach tossing them. My older child received a participation trophy for every baseball, soccer, football, and lacrosse season. Participation trophies are meaningless to him. We neither keep nor display them. He received a couple of golds for karate tournaments. These he kept because they were earned. Medals received for top finishes in cross country races are kept as are trophies received when his travel lax team wins a tournament. There may come a time when these, too, will hold no meaning for him and then it will be time to purge them.

How do you know you're getting a quality faucet?
Q
Comments (12)
Here's a link to a great, easy to read article that that tells you what to look for and why. It really helped me make a decision when it came time to choose a faucet. Here's an excerpt regarding Lowe's Moen vs. Faucet Depot's Moen: "Most major faucet manufacturers will make special models just for the large retailers. . . in some cases the faucet can be sold at a lower price because the materials used are lower quality - plastic spouts rather than brass, for example. . . . If the model number or name is exactly the same, most likely you have a regular-line faucet. If it is not the same (usually by the addition of a suffix such as M1045-HD rather than M1045), then it is probably a store model. . . . If still in doubt, call the manufacturer's customer service and ask. " HTH! Here is a link that might be useful: http://starcraftcustombuilders.com/sources.faucets.htm

paul:

specifically, they mean the "zone box" that you fill in each and every time you "post a follow-up" or "post a thread" - this has nothing to do with your profile info

it feeds your user name only & you fill in your zone - most people add add'l info (city, county, region like pineywoods) b/c the zones stretch across the continent - i use d/fw b/c my town is small, but there are four counties' worth of people in my general area

Ahhh, I don't have to fill in the zone every time I post a followup - it pulls that from the profile, and is already displayed in the zone field of "post a followup" area as long as you are logged in. But the zone field is large enough to put more than just your zone, so as Jolana says, in your profile, where it says garden zone, put your zone number and whatever else you want (city, county, etc) within the length limits of the field.

I guess I left out profile Deb, thanks. I didn't even remember you could do it for each post. What a pain

Guess I learned something new today. I'll see if I can get it to show from my profile info. Thanks.

It's not that big a pain, though, because I just hit the first letter and the rest shows up.

I just added my county by going to my member page, adding the co. in the garden zone box and then saving it
