Jeesh, and the spacing I put in my recipe, to make it easier to read, isn't there when it's posted.

When I click on my members page, it shows my B'day wrong, & I find it has my old email address, when I try to edit it, I can't. For someone who is not as techy smart as most, this is terribly confusing.

Out of Control Running Bamboo
Q
Comments (4)
I had a huge bamboo patch in Atlanta and got rid of if. Here is how I did? I posted and add on Craigslist saying free bamboo. All sorts of people wrote to me. I gave my address to the ones that did not sound crazy. I told them that they had to cut themselves and clean up. They took care of the cutting part which is the easy part. Then you have to deal with the stalks. I used a sledge hammer to break them off but my neighbord paid someone to till it. Next you have to deal with the re-sprouts. Once the whole patch is gone the plant will resprout with a vengeance. For each new sprout I cut it to the ground and applied round up (actually i bought remuda 40% from ace hardware for 1/3 of the price of round up - it is the same active ingredient glyphosate). I kept doing it for 6 months. First I cut new sprouts every 5 days, a couple of weeks, and then kept inspecting it each month. We got rid of the bamboo in less than a year, and most people would agree that it takes 5 years. I have to say that if you consistent and apply round up to every new shoot you will succeed, miss one shoot though and it will grow back again. Hope this helps

Am I getting out of control?

Great deals, yes you have a much better Goodwill than we do too. If I had the talent and enjoyed redoing furniture like that, I'd buy whatever I find that I know I could enjoy making over, use the "must haves" in my own home and send the others to a consignment store to resell for some extra cash.

Gift Registries - Completely out of control
Q
Comments (46)
katsmah, That's awful! This is exactly what is causing these couples to register for a bunch of ridiculous stuff that they neither need nor want! It'a actually a self-fulfilling prophesy, right? The MORE you register, the less percentagewise will get bought. So then it's easy for the clerk to say, most items on the registry would not be bought. Of course not! Because they registered for too many things! In reality, if the store clerk is right, that should be incentive for the couple to register for fewer items, so that they can ensure that the items they really want will get bought. That assumes, of course, that the pricing of the items they choose is reasonable, or at least within a reasonble range so that those who don't want to spend a fortune can find something to buy. Getting back to the "olden" days, when I got married the first time and you just registered for fine china, crystal and silver (I actually just did china and flatware), I received gifts of a dinner plate, or a cup & saucer. People who didn't want to spend the $$ to buy a whole place setting just bought the piece(s) they could afford. It all contributed to my china set. Imagine if I'd given them the option of spending that same amount on something like a relaxation CD or some other useless item. No matter how you slice it, the couple is better off registering for just the items they really want/need. I'm sure the clerk at BB&B was just doing her job, after all, that sort of thing is good for the store, right? But ugh! What a disservice to those poor couples who don't know any better!

At the top of the KT page there is a notice from GW in red about problems logging in. It was posted yesterday and it gives a link asking you to report the exact problems you are having. ....here it is...

I can't get the contact link to post here but if you go back to the top of the KT page and read the RED notice you can pull it up.

Hi everyone,

A couple of weeks ago, we moved to a different registration system and we are still in the process of working out some bugs. Please understand that we are converting a very old system and that there have been some unforeseen issues. We know that this can be very frustrating, but no one wants this to be resolved more than we do -- trust me! ;) We are working hard to find and squash the bugs and solve each and every issue that you might be encountering. If you are experiencing problems, please take a moment to contact us via email and give us a detailed description of your problem. Emails that simply say, "I can't login" or "My member page is broken" won't give us the details that are needed to fix what is broken. Please do NOT post your issue here as this will only delay a response to you -- use the Contact Us link found at the bottom of the page.

For login issues:
Sometimes your browser's cookie file can become corrupt and it can be helpful to delete it and restart your browser. More information on how to do this can be found here. Please give us a detailed description of your issue. If you can't login, a step-by-step account of what you do to login is crucial. On what forum or page are you logging in? Where is the link on the page that you are using? What error message do you receive? Can you login on any other pages or is it just in one specific area?

For member profile page issues:
Are you missing profile information? Have you checked to make sure that all fields are complete? If you are posting to any of the exchanges, you must have a valid zip code, state and country listed, otherwise it will not allow you to post. If you receive an error message, please cut and paste the entire message into your email. If you are trying to change your email address and it will not allow you to do so, make sure you include both your old and new email address in your email and your membername.

We truly appreciate your support and patience. Once again, please do not respond to this post, but email us directly.

With best regards,

Tamara Amey
