Ann, I'm jealous. My friends always want me to come over and give them landscaping ideas or a plan. I would LOVE to be some kind of a designer. I would have no idea how much to charge (or when I would find the time to do it...LOL!!). Good for you!! As for the garden hooker thing, you must plant alot of those mushrooms that Barb has! LOL!!!! LOL!!!! FRANCES, I could just KISS YOU!!!!! My brugs are budding like crazy right now, I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!! I think that what you told me about removing the extra growth is what did the trick. It seems like as soon as I did that, a week later I started to see buds. OMG!!!! I can't wait. I will be taking a million pictures of them when they bloom!!! WOOHOO!!!! Ok, now another question for you ladies, what do I do about aphids?? I noticed that a few of my brugs already have them, ugh, I don't want to bring these inside this winter! :-( Oh, and Frances, I have a loooong list of things for you, so you can come up here and be my handy-woman for a while!!! ;-) I posted this on another trade thread but I wanted to ask you guys too... a good friend of mine just bought a new house that has an indoor pool. Well, the pool room is like a greenhouse (I am so over the top jealous, I want to move in!!!! I told my husband that we should start looking for a new house. LOL) Anyway, she said that I could overwinter some of my larger plants there if I wanted to. Does anyone know if the chlorine in the air will harm my plants? I've looked online and everything I've read so far says the water in pools isn't that much worse than city tap water (as far as chlorine content) and that plants next to a pool will be fine. Anyone have experience with this. I would be SOOOOO happy if I could overwinter there, MAN would that clear up some space in the house and my plants would be so much happier there. Amy

Might look at the link below. Windows CleanMgr with sageset sagerun will do some additional cleaning of windows goodies more so than just running cleanMgr plain. CCleaner.com does a decent job. Wise Disc Cleaner , www.wisecleaner.com , might be a bit dangerious for some, but does a pretty good job if you take a moment to look down the list of things it finds to delete. If you have a particular extension you want to delete just open a cmd prompt and aim carefully with the delete or deltree command. Here is a link that might be useful: MS CleanMgr sageset & sagerun

I like all my own data saved inside their respective folders I have created in My Documents (Documents for Win7). That way I can easily back up all my data at any time to the external drive without necessarily creating an image. Once you have installed the program copy your own data folder that you had saved prior to wiping the drive for that program to My Documents. Then Open the program and probably look in Tools/Options or Preferences to change where the program saves and point to your saved folder. In MS Office 2007 Word for example you click the MS icon in the top left corner, click Word options at the bottom of the drop down menu and make any changes you wish.
