I know NT. One day I was gone all day ( like 8 am - 11:30 pm) and the last post I had read that morning (I ALWAYS check in even if I have to be gone all day)was at the BOTTOM of the first page!!

Toady, it seems easier because, as one of my college professors explained it, learning is like a tree, and the more things you learn, the more "branches" you have upon which to attach new pieces of information. So even if what you're learning is more in-depth, more technical or sophisticated than what you learned on the same subject in the past, you already have many "branches" upon which to grow all those new twigs and leaves. Makes sense to me. Best of luck with your continuing education! Jeff

My skimmer is totally different. So don't know if what I do would work for you. I know it works for me, but there will be bunches of people here on the forum that will disagree. I removed the door and in the slot where the door would go I put a piece of the black (coarsest) Matala mat Then I have 3 baskets that hold filter mats and then the pump is in the rear. My skimmer pulls anything that is floating in the pond and it catches in the Matala Mat, I just take it out and hose it off. I also take the baskets out with the other filter media and hose them off at least once a week sometimes more if I need to. With all the gunk I wash out of the mats, it has to be working. Then after the water goes through all this media it goes to the waterfall. I was having a problem with fish getting in the skimmer. And I actually cut a hole in the top of the skimmer so the frogs can get in there. A frog could never go through my pump and go through to the waterfall. My pump has a filter on it and nothing gets through there unless it is miniscule.And when I remove the baskets of filter media to wash it, I can see the bottom of the skimmer and if there was anything in there I could see it.

OMG I saw a MOTERCYCLE outside!!!!!! :) You sound like a person who needs to relax. Not only are you worried about being woke up the minute or so he would start and leave, you are worried about not getting back to sleep, and driving sleep-deprived on dangerous highways! Relax.. Doesn't sound like that big a deal to me. I live in a house and have had noisy neigbors. Right now the guy accross the street parks his truck in front of my house and blairs his truck stereo for 30+ minutes in the middle of my sleep pattern. I have learned to tune it out and fall back asleep when he leaves.

I call them Dream Merchants. Really they are not selling a product but a dream. Went to one Amway party and the poor presenter spent an hour "explaining" to me that it was not about selling dreams. Alas, the first page in the Amway sales book says you have to "sell the dream". Pretty certain I ruined his Amway career. The scam is to sucker people into selling carp for you. You get them excited about being rich without having to actually work. Show a pyramid chart and talk about the hundred if not thousands of people that will soon be "working" for you. Stop to show some pictures of a tropical beach location. Continue by projecting huge wealth if thousands of people all sell this stuff for you everyday. End up by noting that some people deserve fabulous wealth and it can be theirs if only they cough up a hundred bucks to join your sales team. Not everyone wants to be wealthy so not everyone joins your team.... don't you want to be filthy stinking rich without working? I got sucked in by AFLAC. Fresh out of college and looking for a job anywhere. Being an "Insurance Agent" seems almost like a real job. I actually sold a few dozen policies before the reality set in. Just because you establish a customer does not mean that you own that account. No, your Regional Sales Manager has the right take over your accounts because you fail to sell them more insurance every month. Last sales meeting I was threatening to turn the RSM upside down and bounce him on his head. Had to quit before I gave into violent temptations. : ) lyra

does anyone use the "clipping" feature and will it stay in your clippings once it falls off the 67th page?
How many clipped posts can be saved... I'm wondering about doing my own archives of favorites.

I just clipped Slow's heartshelf because that's going out soon...

You can only store 50 clippings. I guess we all better go through the old threads and start clipping!

I know it's frustrating to see things drop off the last page, but they are still in the archive apparently. I just typed "05" (without the quotes) and got 466 matches. The first few were from the conversations side, the rest were like our posts now.

That being said, I wish I KNEW how to save them to CD! Computer savy I'm not.....the directions are always written in some "foreign-to-me" language! I do clip (when I remember to and/or do it RIGHT!!), but would LOVE to have the info indefinitely.

HTH,

Maybe we need to be a little more aware of Conversations vs on topic??

Ahem ... saving to CD is getting a bit passe, Pat, now it's saving to a jump ( flash, thumb ,USB... all the same) drive . (just to help you out LOL)

They don't offer us a gallery on this forum.....maybe we need to push for that. I love how everything, questions, and pics are on the same page, but we are losing stuff
pretty fast now. It is sounding better Hrsg!

Shrty mentioned the Conversations side - I've also been thinking lately that it might be good if we encouraged use of the CONVERSATIONS side a little more? I was very hesitant to say anything, and I'd hate to make people feel paranoid about posting, but I also hate it that we're losing some great history here. There's such great information, and wonderful project descriptions and pictures. We don't want to lose it. If we use the CONVERSATIONS side, too - we could still post everything we wanted to, and leave more room on THIS side.

So does it max out at 67???

Pretty much. For every new post, an old one drops off.
It sounds like they are archived, but you'd need to know
what exact post you were looking for. It didn't take us long to get to 67 pages. Lately we are going through almost a page a day.

I don't understand how these forums work. WHO do we contact for gallery space???? Do we all need to sign a petition, e-mail the moderator, or WHAT?

I'm fairly sure that Ivilliage does these forums in a rather hands off mentality. We can try to contact them but they's never responded before.

Went digging for this post. I keep thinking about all the lost forever posts. Did any one figure out a way to save the posts that are being pushed off the end pages with so many other new posts? Do you think we should post some of our mosaic projects on the conversation side so we do not loose them?? LOL We could always talk about some thing OFF mosaic topc in conversations and just happen to post pictures of our works there?? Ya think??

The more off topic stuff for sure....
It's sad to see all the stuff from last year dropping off
so fast!
