Over the past 4 years, especially my first and second, my budget was SO tight. I only bought roses for less than $8, and bought many a grade #2. Honestly looking through my garden now, I can't tell the 1,s from the 1 1/2's from the 2's, and really don't remember or care which was which. I specifically remember two grade 2's I got from Orchard Supply - a Brides Dream, and a mismarked Pink Promise which ended up Pink Peace. They took a long time to mature, but they are both GORGEOUS now.

DD just burnt a pan the other night. She scoured it (before she told me) but it was still looking pretty bad. I put water and a couple of tablespoons of baking soda in the pan, let it boil for about 10 minutes, running a knife around the edges as it boiled. Then I rinsed and ran it through the dishwasher and it came out good as new, no scrubbing. Can't hurt to try--good luck.

Hi Pam, Another option may be to create a sub-folder OUTSIDE of your My Pictures folder and move all pictures that are not in your album into the new folder. I don't really speak iPod, but I assume that when you synch, the iPod will only pull photos from the My Pictures folder. Another Pam

Not so much recently, but a few years ago Picasa caused lots of troubles on computers. I worked on many that got screwed up by that program. It's similar to (at least the older versions of) AOL in that it liked to weave itself deep into a system. Once you have trouble, it takes a while to clean it out.
