My two cent cut-and-pasted reply to a previous post regarding my own experience taking plants when moving: Regarding taking the plants, been there, done that, would do it again but only in limited form. Next time I move I'm only taking plants that are hard to replace, either because difficult to find and/or very expensive to replace (e.g. I have a couple beautiful mature laceleaf Japanese maples and a stunning mature tree peony that would cost a fortune to replace, if I could even find one that big for sale), and plants that have sentimental value. Other than that - it stays. Reason I say this is because last time I moved I took all I could - I dug up pretty much all of my perennial beds and rose bushes. Guess what? Off the top of my head, besides a laceleaf Japanese maple and one peony that I took with me, I can't think of any plant that moved with me that is in my garden at the current time. There are various reasons, but the two main reasons are soil and light conditions different than what the plants required - a general statement of failure to thrive, if you will - and the plants didn't fit into what I was trying to create at this place. And oh the guilt I initially had when I had to trash a lot of plants after a year or so of keeping them in temporary locations, realizing they just wouldn't work. I found homes for some of them, but tossed the bulk. (I've since gotten over the guilt of shovel pruning over the years....) Plus, it was a lot of hassle, and there is an expense. Don't forget pots and potting soil cost money, even those 99 cent plastic pots add up. The headache comes in when you have to actually do something with all those plants. I kept all the pots of stuff in a temporary holding area, but what a pain to have to keep with the watering, not to mention it was so messy with stuff all over the place, and the stress of knowing I had to do something with all those plants grated at me. Of course, if you move to a place where there are nice beds mapped out or you have a vision right off the bat of what you'd like to create, that would make thing easier, but realistically how often does that happen? So, my advice is take what is valuable or sentimental and leave the rest. View it is an opportunity to start fresh, to create something beautiful and unique that relates to this new chapter in your life.

Thanks all of you, I'll let you know how it turns out, my youngest GD is ten yrs old, I am still amazed that she so likes what I like, so every other week end she stays with me, we always find some store that we both like to go to I so enjoy her company Elizabeth

Like Bob I use Firefox but I just tried it in Internet Explorer. Click on Favourites, right click on anything in the list and then click 'Sort by name' in the pop up menu. Done. Actually I used to do it the hard way by holding down the left mouse button and dragging the selected folder up or down till it was where I wanted it.

Just a follow up on this problem. I still had the problem with Google in FF, it would not search so I did a system restore to a November date. When I got it updated again and things in order, the tabs were on the top again. I checked view before I went to the site DA recommended, low and behold the option "tabs on top" was there. The mysteries of the computer!
