Well, I ordered from Hortico as well, and was told I could pick it up this week. After reading your comment Terry, I phoned them to make sure it is in stock. It isn't. It's on back order, just like you said. So I'll wait for the fall, just like everyone else! From what I hear, it's worth waiting for. Thanks for the postings!

I've just discovered this thread and not a moment too soon (or late?). I can sooooo sympathsize. I'm also a stay at home mom former teacher debating the return to work. I have gotten totally jazzed reading all the great ideas and options. like you, I know htat my whole family would be miserable if I returned to work full-time. Right now I have a great set up subbing at my oldest dd's school. I have MIL babysit and when she can't I swap child care with a neighbor who works evenings. If you ever do feel the need to sub, find a nice girl's school with strict rules. My daughter's school is a dream to sub at. Small class sizes, the teachers always leave extensive plans and the girls actually respect the teachers (even subs). But as you said the pay sucks. It really only works out to be spending cash for me. So the ideas in the thread about future employment when my youngest starts school are real boosters. Good luck with that pet sitting. I am envious of your opportunity and the excitement that goes with something new and exciting - not to mention lucrative!

The frame is a little banged up but some gold or dark red paint like already is under the gold, and I think it will be fine - good thing it's already distressed. Someone took the backing off - I'm going to have to at least stick felt bumpers on the back so staples don't mark the walls (hope they didn't already). It's not staying in this location - what do you think about hanging the two at the head of the table with about 3 ft b/t them? I just don't know if the dark colors of the Rembrandt are going to look muddy next to the white and blue of the Renoir? I just really want to cover the electrical boxes until I can figure out whether to move the chandy to the center of the room or move the one sconce so the chandy is centered b/t them (builder error I didn't catch until we moved the table in a year later!). There is a small resemblance to my AJ - except my dear child has hazel eyes and the portrait ("Lucy"?) has blue eyes. Maybe slightly different hair color too? Oh well, if I can't find a place for it, there's always CL! I'm sure I can get my $ back.

Huh? No, the question is what email service is the native email program (Apple Mail, in this case on a Mac) set up to connect to. That setting needs to be entered once for every so-called mail "client" app or program on a PC, Smartphone, or tablet. It has nothing to do with default program relationships for file types. Ginny, I know how to do it on ipads and iphones but not immediately on Macs. I have two Macs in the family but neither is here right now for me to look at. A Google search found the following two approaches, they differ perhaps depending on which version of Apple Mail you have. But either or a combination of the two should get you where you want to be. If these don't work, again, refer to an Apple forum. #1 To Set Up Your Apple Mail From the Mail menu, select Preferences. Go to the Accounts tab, and then click the plus sign(+) at the bottom of the Accounts box. In the Add Account window, enter your full name, email address and email password. Click Continue. or #2 To begin, click on the Mail -> Add Account... menu. On this screen, you will be asked about the type of account you will be adding to the application. Select the last option - Add Other Mail Account...Continue button. Now, simply add your name, email address and the password for it. ++++++++++++++++++++ Edited to add As a quick alternative, just start your browser (Safari), go to and log into gmail, compose a new message and then add the photo as an attachment. You'll need to know the location of the photo on the PC to do that and you probably can do a drag and drop for attaching it.
