Blanca, So funny that you mention "happy" music for your plants. When I was in high school I did a comparison between plants grown from seeds under identical conditions; the only exception was that one group had Disney music played (it was an LP that played over and over automatically if that hints at the years). When I told the Disney company of my findings (don't know why I did, but guess I thought they should know that their music was involved in this positive study) they sent me a new LP!! Whoo hoo...I think I must have been 15. That was the same year that my biology teacher spent extra time before/after school and taught me meristem culture of orchids (I think that's what it was called). It involved taking pieces of an orchid, cutting it and plating it out on agar in flasks, and it grew into clumps of cells that would be transferred again and that made new baby epidendrum orchids. When I was in Costa Rica and saw fields of these red/orange orchids growing wild, I thought of Mr. Havickhorst. He was like a surrogate father to me (my own dad and I butted heads) and we still keep in touch!! OK...so that's way more than you wanted to know about me! Kristi

First you will need to get your pics stored at on on line storage place. I use and like Photobucket and it is free. See link below. First open your account and then upload the pics you want to post to a Photobucket album. It is pretty self explanatory. Then it is just a matter of having your album setting set up so that you can post either a pic, or a clickable thumbnail, (which IMHO is better) as one need not be concerned with size, and loads quickly for all those yet on dial-up. So, once you get your pics set up in P-bucket, I will cover the album settings. It helps greatly is you are familiar with having multiple tabs or multiple windows open at the same time. Are you familiar and comfortable with that? I was trying to help a friend post pics, and come to find out she was not familiar with having 2 things open at once, which made my instructions confusing and very hard to post pics. My NO ID #6...clickable Feel free to email me if you like...or stop on by The Test Forum Gallery. There are 'regular' members there who can and will readily help until you are posting pics like a pro! Sue...chemocurl Here is a link that might be useful: Photobucket (Free)

I don't believe you can leave random feedback on a seller (or buyer), you have to have purchased (or sold) something. Now I suppose I could sell stuff to my friends or create fictitious accounts and write the feedback myself. Of course, you'd be paying eBay a fee for everyone one of those transactions and I have to believe that their security folks might watch for that kind of stuff. I haven't bought or sold much on eBay but what I have has been a positive experience. A few years back I was doing some Internet work for a used car dealer. A customer had mentioned that they had seen the vehicle on eBay. News to us since we didn't use eBay at the time but sure enough someone had "borrowed" the pictures and description of the vehicle from the dealership's website and actually SOLD the vehicle on eBay. I frantically tried to find a customer service phone number for eBay so that they could contact the buyer before he sent any money. Unfortunately, eBay doesn't seem to have a phone number. I sent off an email and then tried to inquire what had happened but eBay would only tell me that the matter was under investigation. The interesting part is that the vehicle was reasonably worth about $16,000 but it had sold on eBay for $9,000. When something seems to good to be true...

I don't have a slide bar, but I do have a shower with the valve placed on one end. Mine is a bizarre setup because the pipes run along the inside of the shower instead of in the wall. I'm not sure why the PO did it this way, but it actually looks kind of cool in an industrial kind of way. It ends up looking kind of like a slide bar, I suppose. The shower head is on a hose at the other end. I like it because I can easily reach in and turn on the shower before I step in. I don't know if my scenario is close enough to be helpful for you, but I'll try to get some pics if I can get my new camera working. Bottom line is that the plumber shouldn't dictate where it goes. It's your bathroom and you should get it wherever you want it.
