Garden web doesn't like me anymore

13 years ago

I am having such a hard time signing into this sight!

I can not seem to comment anywhere because it proms me to sign in each time.

I was FINITELY able to sign here this time.

Is anyone else having troubles of this type???

Hi Vicky, I'm not a regular on this site but I haven't had any problems. This morning I saw your post,signed in and "here I am"....don't know what the problem could be. Maybe a regular user will know the answer. Have a great day.

When you sign in to GW, remember to check the "remember me" box down below the sign-in boxes and a little to the left. I've had other issues (as have others) about having to click twice to return to the last page. And, we have had some spammers on other areas of GW that have not been dealt with yet even though I emailed Tamara at GW about the problem.

Hang in there! This too shall pass. We love to hear from you.

Doesn't anyone embroider by hand anymore?
Q
Comments (16)
I just surfed over from the Quilting forum, as I do a lot of embroidery, too.....currently like doing felted wool pennyrug type things with applied embroidery accents. I got a kick out of this posting subject, for I was wondering the same thing.....till I saw it everything seemed to be about machine embroidery, which to me, just isn't the same as hand work. I saw that someone asked what stumpwork is....NOT a new name, but a very old name for a very old artform. It could be called dementional raised work, and historically was done on small boxes, firescreens, frames, not clothes or anything that would require flat surfaces such as tablecoverings, etc. I remember seeing, in the V@A Museum in London, a wonderful box that was covered in a linen fabric and then had applied figures of people...these were stuffed so as to give roundness to the figures. The women had beautifully embroidered hair (done with real human hair) and beautiful clothing, as did the men...it was made in the reign of King Charles I (the one Cromwell had beheaded)...so, as I said, a very old form of embroidery.

My daughter doesn't want to do it anymore....
Q
Comments (17)
Talk to the teacher and talk to, and listen to your daughter. The important thing is not whether in an objective sense, it's a lot of responsibility so much as whether your daughter feels like it is a lot of responsibility or burdensome to her. One way people have had success with different 'buddying' systems for support has been to have alternating designated 'buddies.' The people defined as 'buddies' (your daughter's present duties and position) should have defined limited terms so that they can have breaks. The child who needs the support can gain experience interacting with others too. It can be a very positive experience for the whole class as well as an excellent way to build a sense of 'community' among people/students. It's true that in a literal sense, people can't 'be their brother's keeper' but it is also true that some people are just uncommonly gifted in different areas in ways that allow them to be able to help others. Helping others who require help basically helps out the whole group (in the smaller sense of the whole class, or even your daughter and the girl with the vision problems; or in the larger sense of all of humanity). People in your daughter's position might well be gifted enough to theoretically be able to perform naturally well as a 'buddy.' That shouldn't be allowed to cloud the fact of her age and developmental stage, and the fact that she has needs too. She should have a limited, defined role as a 'buddy' and it probably would be better for _everyone_ involved to have a system that allows for rotating 'buddies.' The problem for the teacher then is to figure out if they can, and how they can (all the rest of the class) be included. Some children may not be able to perform as well, or might need 'buddy training' or something to be able to do even minimally well. The teacher should be informed that your daughter sounds like she's feeling 'burnt out' over this chore. You can listen to your daughter. You can share your own experiences of when you had to perform something similar (caregiving?, aid?, and there was seemingly no end to this role). If you've had that kind of experience you can give her tips and encouragement. Does she think that there are other students in the class who could do a good job and work well with the girl who has vision problems? Would a rotation schedule where the different student 'buddies' had limited terms of duty help for her? (You can ask her those kinds of questions). it's really hard to maintain motivation and anything like a positive attitude when it feels like a 'duty' is only a chore and like one person has been singled out to bear the load so to speak (take time to say out loud how appreciative you are about how she does things, and how she's been able to work in a caregiving sort of capacity like that... some adults are more or less incapable of functioning in that capacity at all; she's probably an extraordinary first grader)

Kohler doesn't provide sink templates anymore?!?!!!
Q
Comments (10)
Thank you everyone for your responses! The counter with the sinks is in and is absolutely gorgeous! We still have the shower curbs and faucet holes yet to go for fabrication (hole delay is my fault - decision paralysis!). They'll be back tomorrow. Photos to come after plumbing, electrical and glass. In this day of DIY I'm astounded that Kohler decided to stop providing templates and then only make them available in an autocad program. If DH and I were brave enough to DIY counters, we'd be in big trouble. Every other sink mfgr on the shelf at the plumbing supply have templates. I wrote to Kohler but we'll have to wait for them to be back from the holidays. I'll let you know their response. For those who were concerned about my fabricator - thank you but don't be. We've used these guys for several stone counters over the last ten years. I actually made a huge mistake five years ago and hired a young 'professional' with fancy laser equipment and a beautiful showroom because my guys were really busy and honestly I was dazzled by the technology v. my old dudes in hip waders, with hoses and grinders. Huge huge mistake. Mr fancy pants screwed up my Azul Bahia island (cha-ching!) and guess who had to fix it? My old dudes with grinders - the artisans. They may not be fancy but they know everythingbthere is to know about stone fabrication. The business has been handed down from father to son continuously since the 1800s. They are now the 4th and 5th generation to run the shop. They started with tombstones and and still provide them (now referred to as monuments) as well as being the oldest counter fabricators around. They do the cutting and edging in the shop as well as all kinds of cool hand crafted treatments and cut & polish the holes on site outside on special tables. There really isnt dust due to the water. They are true artisans. The template was more for me to be able to visualize where I wanted the sinks placed in my Calacatta counter. I wanted to get it just right. They had no problem making templates from the cardboard box. If you're in Northern CA, I can't say enough good things about them. Feel free to pm me for their name and info. --- I sound like a commercial -- perhaps I should ask for a discount on our next project hehe.

I once bought angel wing jasmine from a similar catalog thinking it was the same as maid or Orleans. Oh was it such a difference, a much more subtle scent although still pleasant to the olfactory. Live and learn.

It has taken me 14 attempts to log in today. I can click "add a post" and log in, but when I try to reply it won't let me. I have e-mailed back and forth with Tamara for weeks, but it still doesn't work. They recommended I not click "remember me" but rather type it in each time, doesn't work either way.

Please know I check in daily even if I can't get in to post.

Vicky, I have the same problem all the time. I have to log in at the main quilting forum, not while I'm in a post. If I see something I want to post on, I have to go out to the main forum, then click into a post other than the one I want to post at, then back out and then go to the post I'm interested in and then I'm in. Sometimes this doesn't work and I have to get out of the entire site and go back in again. This happens on the other forums I visit also, and it isn't just you. I haven't been able to log in while I'm in a post for a long time.

I have to log in from the main forum when I want to answer a post. Once I'm logged in and click the remember me box, everything is fine.

I have been having problems for a few months now-I think GW gave up on me.
What I have to do in order to post....is sign on/ log in on some random thread that I will never post a response to, than I am able to post on the other threads, but I am not able to post to the random thread where I logged in.

Like this thread - I initially logged into this post, but could not post to this thread, but I could to all the others. So, I logged out of GW and relogged in on a random thread, and now I can post this response to this one. Try it. It is a pain....but at least I can post.

I log in with the main page but if I clean out my history/cookies all I have to redo the log in and ask for "remember me". On occasion I have had issues but they are usually resolve in a few days. Jayne

Same problem here, whether I click the remember me or not.

After signing in on the post I want to comment on, if the comment box doesn't come up, I have to go to another thread and then come back to the original one.

It's a pain.

I have also had problems trying to comment on a post. It would not allow for me to log in. What I have done that works was to find a post that I answered before, and connect with my name on that post (copy) then pasted it on the the log in part and I was in. Remember me has been there so that was not the problem, and I kept getting messages like my pastword is not right or my log in name is not correct.
Frustrating at times.

No problems here. Occassionally, it makes me log-in but after no problems. Sometimes it is weeks from the last time I logged on and sometimes it is just days...no rhyme or reason.

I haven't had any problems! Lucky me!

Because I visit the forum from work and from home, I do have to sign in when I first visit from either site. One seems to log me out from the other. But once I do it, then I'm good for the day, no matter how many times I leave the site and come back.

Sure hope you get this resolved. GardenWeb may not like you, but we do!

Vicky and others, I'm sorry you have having such troubles. I log in from different computers, so like Kate, I have to relog in, but its easy and fast. I hope those who are having problems logging in don't get discouraged.

I log in each time I visit. It is so slow for the site to transfer images, something about transfer data, refer stuff, connect to something, and all of the other messages that flash thru on the bottom of the screen. This is both for preview, create, and login.
Like many of us I check each day, but sometimes posting is just waaaaaaaaaaay to much of a hassle. What is the phrase?? Mushes my mellow???LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vicky & others,

I too have problems now & then. There is no rhyme or reason, apparently. Whenever I contact Tamara, I get the feeling she thinks I'm an idiot beause of course the problem doesn't happen for her - & it does go away the next day...only to reappear a week or so later.
I actually had a different problem just last night -- a survey box kept popping up every single time I moved from one thread to another - even when I repeatedly clicked on 'no thanks'. Of course, it didn't happen for Tamara, & I've only been here today, so we'll see. I suspect it won't happen today -- simply the law of averages. Or is that Murphy's Law?? I forget! LOL

I do get disgusted, & if it weren't for the friendships formed here, I would probably leave. It seems with the number of us that have problems things will get better - we can hope! :)

Maybe if we could just post and not have to preview it would make things easier for us that do have probs.
I don't think it will get better, it has gone on for too long. IMO it is the advertising causing the probs, and IMO the advertising is keeping it a free forum. I could be wrong, it has happened once before LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree that I stay because I enjoy the members.

Just as in anything - nothing is perfect;) We deal with the problems & inconveniences because it offers us something we need -- friendships, quilting tips & advice, the opportunity to interact & swap with one another. & even a place to sound off now & then!

I'm staying!
