Unfortunately, once a thread drops off the list it never comes back to the list. If it's a thread that's had a post since at least late-2007 and you've bookmarked it, you can link to it directly. Anyone who's bookmarked it and retrieves it can post to it, but it still won't jump back onto the list. The post will be there, but the thread is still missing in action! So, my advice to you and everyone else is...if you want to save a thread for later reference, bookmark it or save it to your local machine! One caution: If someone deletes or moves their pictures that were posted in the thread and you only bookmarked it, you will lose those pictures when you retrieve the thread later. To be sure you save everything, you really need to save the thread to your machine. Note that later posts won't show up in the saved thread b/c you've saved it at a specific point in time. Future posts won't be there...but, you can always re-save it. Once you save the thread to your machine, all pictures are saved with it. How do you do this? There are a couple of ways that most people use. Saving the thread "as is" from your browser: From Firefox: Go to the Menu Bar (File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help) Click File Select Save Page As... The file name will default to the msg#.html (in the case of this message, it defaults to msg0322471215999.html) Click the Save button In Internet Explorer: Go to the Menu Bar (File Edit View Favorites Tools Help) Click File Select Save As... The file name will default to the - Kitchens Forum - GardenWeb.mht (in the case of this message, it defaults to Buehl, Q for you re missing posts - Kitchens Forum - GardenWeb.mht) Click the Save button Note: In both cases you can save to a different File Type by clicking the "Save as type" drop down menu and selecting another type. Saving the thread in an MS Word document or similar: Open a new/empty MS Word (or other) document Select the entire thread using one of the following: Click the keys [Note: This will select the entire page, including the GW header & footer.] ......OR...... Using the mouse, select whatever part of the thread you wish to save by clicking & dragging. I usually start with the subject line of the Original Post and drag to the end of the last post. Copy the selection by using the keys Paste what you just copied into the MS Word (or other) document [Note: In most Microsoft products, the paste keys are ] Save the document using whatever name you like [Note: In MS Word, click File and select Save As...] A note about much older threads.... Prior to 2008, when a thread fell off the thread list (i.e., fell off of page 67), the thread was lost forever unless you had saved it down to your machine. Even when bookmarked, the thread was gone. If you tried to retrieve it using your bookmark, you received a page that said "Missing File". Occasionally you could find it using a Google search...but...

I'm glad you liked it Brenda. May it always remind you of Ronnie. For those of you that aren't familiar with the poem, here it is. Song on the Wind Take these windchimes that I give you, Hang them high up in a tree Let the melody remind you, Of the spirit that is He He would have wanted song, To come and fill your days He would surely bring you laughter, If there was any sort of way If he could, he'd grin that grin of his, That crinkled up his eyes That somehow owned a twinkle, He never could disguise There's nothing to replace, The one you knew and loved But you can listen for his song of joy, From the chimes hung up above. When you hear the wind pass through them, You'll hear a happy sound, The notes will fill your heart, And you'll know that he is around Take these wind chimes that I send you, Let their music fill the air Let them sing a song upon the wind, And feel him standing there

Never plant the tall Mexican ruellia in Houston! ( I like the short clumping Katy ruellia.) That plant is the curse of my garden. My master gardener friend gave me on purple and one white. the purple has marched more than 1/2 way around the fence borders. She failed to mention that she pulled them all the time and her many paved pathways helped to keep them contained. I sprayed it with Round Up and it shot seeds at me and made popcorn sounds. (That hurt, too!) They grow 7 ft tall in up through my lemonade honeysuckle vine and laugh at me over the tops of the suburban fences. I have pull and paid others hundreds of dollars to pull and they keep coming back, since they also send out awful runners. This plant survived the poison ivy and brush killer and Ground Clear, as did wedellia. The wedellia was gone for three year, cam back and jumped to another bed. I would pour gasoline on them both if I knew that would kill them. The wedellia roots where it the leaf nodes touch the ground and smothered my daylilies.

This kid (well, adult, as he had just turned 18) made a stupid, stupid, stupid mistake in a fit of anger and is now on the sex offender registry. Sexting Lands Teen on Sex Offender Registry I don't know if this is the same teen as in the article, but many years ago, I was watching a story on GMA where they had a panel of high schoolers talking about social media, sexting, etc. One of the kids in the group explained what happened to him when he sent a nude photo of his girlfriend out to a bunch of people. He talked about how this was going to follow him for the rest of his life as he was required to be on the sex offender registry as a result because it was considered distribution of child pornography (incidentally, the girlfriend had taken the photo herself and sent it to him, but she was not charged with anything). However, not knowing the backstory on this particular case, one might see the boy in this story, who is now in his late 20s, on the sex offender registry for child pornography and make assumptions that he is some sick individual. This thread remained me that I have not looked at the sex offender registry recently to see who is living or working around me. I was absolutely HORRIFIED to see that there is a woman living in my area who was convicted of raping an 11 y/o blind boy while she was a teacher's aide on Long Island. She was 42 at the time, married with two kids. On the registry, it just says 2nd Degree Rape - Person 18 y/o or older has intercourse with Under 15. She has an uncommon name so when I googled her, I quickly found the story. Amazingly b/c she plead guilty she only served 6 months in jail and 10 years on probation. She is no longer on probation (happened more than 10 yrs ago) but she is on the registry. What a sick, sick woman.
