Can't find an old post in search feature,help pls!?

15 years ago

I've been using the search function, but for some reason it only searches this years posts. Is there a way that I could find old posts again?

Now, for a question for those who were around for a few years and have a good memory.

A while back someone showed us the most comfy, gorgeous, true french style living room. I think it had a soft red or perhaps yellow/cream with red trimming? sofa in the foreground... I fell in love with that style and would have liked to be able to revisit that post and maybe look up the "owner's" name so that I could see what she's been up to.

I recall someone who characterized her style as French. She had a red fabric-covered board, I think, above her fireplace, a white painted frame sofa with a print or plaid, yellows, reds, and blues? Can't recall her name, but if you can give more details of your recollection of her room(s), maybe you'll jog someone's memory more.

I'm remembering a sofa with a beautiful bookcase full of books. I know she was/is a regular here! I KNOW that. Dang I wish i didn't have halftimers!

Hi. Sometimes Lowe's will have 2" glass tiles. Or, you could cut some 2" pieces of glass & mosaic a top! All you need is some fabulous glass from a stained glass shop--colors galore. Just a thought, depending on how fast you want to get started. Don't forget the pics!

Try adding a '2' behind the word 'forums' in the URL. Someone discovered and mentioned this a week or so. I think the site is doing some server swapping around, and so they have bits on the new server and other bits on the old server...they haven't updated their links properly though...you'll find that to get to the gallery, you have to *delete* the 2, whereas for these old posts, you need to *add* the 2. :)

Just searched "Mr. Pickle" in GardenWeb and got 286 thread hits, That at least reduces the search universe, although it doesn't guarantee that the one you are looking for is included in the list. Best Wishes--Carl Atlanta, GA

There's a very sweet plaid dress at Amazon for under $50 that goes up to size 12 -- measurements for each size are given, which ought to be helpful. Brand is Swea Pea and Lilli (spelling is accurate, lol) -- put that in search box and it should come up for you. It's definitely not a slutty dress!
