Jaime... If you already have a photobucket account it is real easy. When you upload your pics from your computer, don't use the largest size; a nice size is "max image size: 640 x 480". Once you set it to upload to a specific size, it will default to that until you change it. After uploading, click on the HTML TAG line (the second or middle one). A little yellow box that says "copied" will appear for a moment. Then go over to your Hosta Forum window and paste wherever you want your photo. It's much easier if you can have two browser windows open at the same time. My browser has tabs...easier yet so you can go back and forth between GW Hosta Forum and Photobucket with ease. You can paste many pictures as you wish within a single "message". I usually type a brief description of the picture on the line before it. Then, click on "preview message". If you can then see your photo in your post, we will see it also. Here's a picture for inspiration. My hosta's revenge...A hosta planted in the cavity of a decaying Norway Maple... Give it a try...if you don't succeed on the first try, we'll help you until you do! Char

Kike99gt asked a legitimate question which seems to have been overlooked here. Is PVC preferred over ABS? The answer is no. PVC and ABS should be thought of as about equal in performance and expected life. PVC is probably the material that is most widely used but some local jurisdictions limit DWV piping to ABS only. Why you ask? ABS (Acylonitrile Butadiene styrene) pipe is only manufactured for DWV applications under the IPS (iron pipe standard) wall thickness sched. 40 in sizes ranging from 1-1/4" through 6" under ASTM(American Society of Testing & Materials) standard ASTM D-2661. By contrast, PVC pipe is manufactured for Electrical conduit, pressure piping, DWV piping and well casing and the wall thickness standards range IPS Sched, 20, 30, 40, 80, 120 and 200. In addition, PVC is also manufactured under the SDR Standard Dimension Ratio) wall thickness standard. Under the SDR standard the wall thickness can be mathematically determined by dividing the diameter by the index number. I.E. A 2" SDR-30 pipe would have a wall thickness equal to 2" / 30 = 0.066" PVC pipe intended to be sued as "pressure pipe" will be labeled as approved under ASTM D-1785 PVC pipe approved for use as DWV pipe will be labeled as approved under ASTM D-2665 PVC pipe approved for well casing will be labeled as approved under ASTM F-480 The plumbing codes state that all DWV piping inside a structure MUST BE sched.40 pipe. While they do make some PVC sched.40 pipe that is labeled solely for DWV application as a rule all other PVC sched 40 pipe is labeled as approved under ASTM D-1785 & ASTM D-2665. This explains why when installing PVC pipe we are required to install it in such a manner that the writing on the pipe wall is clearly visible for inspection and most inspectors will red tag any section of PVC where they cannot see the writing. In some jurisdictions, rather that rely on the inspectors to see all the pipe they simply demand that we use ABS pipe, which is only manufactured to DWV specs.

Hi Jayane-- We did have fun that day. We were at the Renaissance faire in Waxahatchie, TX for a friend's wedding and everyone dressed up for it. I made my and Jeff's costumes, my daughters made theirs together. Rachel, in the burgundy did the sewing, and Amy did the hand embroidery, which you can't really see unfortunately. The highlight of the day for the girls was when the faire royalty were walking through and the queen complimented them on their dresses.
