First, I want to tell you what a great community we have here, but you already knew that, didn't you? Ok, then I want to tell you what a great time I have while I'm here, (bet ya didn't know that already!) Now for the questions: (1) When I select "B" in the member search engine I always get the last page of members, you know, the V's, but you already knew that too, didn't you? (2) Whenever I try to e-mail someone using an e-mail link (like you about this from the group homepage) this dumb computer of my husbands always opens up a new window with AOL mail because he has AOL set as the default, no problem, except that I use Hotmail, not AOL! Well, great cat that you are, I was wondering if you know any way around this little problem of mine? Or am I destined to forever quick write down the email address while hovering over the link, then open my hotmail account and type it into the TO: field, then send my messages? Whew, there must be an easier way, and you are my only hope! I should mention that my husband doesn't approve of me using his computer, so I'm sure he won't change the settings, (that would be too much like granting approval.) So, short of getting my own computer, any ideas? (3) I have some catnip that I grew about nine years ago and I just found it again, well, my cat just goes nutty over a wee little bit of it and, well, I was wondering if catnip somehow gets stronger over the years or is my cat just super-sensitive? I wish I'd saved some seeds too, and not just the buds. (4) While I'm at it, when you got that fateful skeeter bite, was there any indication at the bite site that it was buggy, or did west nile virus only show up systemically? The reason I'm asking is I take my kids camping a lot and I'm afraid skeeters get us even after using a potpourri of repellents and spells to ward them off. Anxiously awaiting your 9-lives worth of wisdom about my queries. And take care of yourself, this place needs you, but you already knew that, too, didn't you? AJ [ |

Alternate click on the address you want, then in the menu that opens select and copy the one that says "copy shortcut". Then in the "To;" header in the email, plant your cursor down and paste. Before you send, make sure only the name and address is there. If you see a notation "mail to" and some puctuation mark, delete that. |

Hi Nature lover :>) I am happy you are enjoying our site here. In answer to your questions, someone joined using a nickname with an asterisk after each letter and the search wouldn't pick that up. I have repaired it and the the B button for members now works again :>) I have never heard that catnip ages like a fine old wine. I prefer mine fresh from the garden and I try to use it in moderation. :>) HGP's explanation is about all you can do using the email link on the front page. However if you click the members tools in the left nav bar, you can then select email the managers and I along with all the assistants will receive your letter. One of us will surely know the answer. :>) Lastly , I didn't notice any thing special about the skeeter bite. If west nile hasn't been killing birds in your area then it is doubtful that the misquitos are carrying it. I should have know better and worn a repellant since one of my neighbors horses died of west nile last year and they are stabled only about 500 yards from where I live. Thanks again for your interest in OP. :>) |

Thank you, MHGP! Now I won't curse at this dang computer (as much) anymore! And Thank you for your timely reply, and quick fix of that search engine Ubergato! Sadly, here in St. Louis, MO we do have west nile virus, it moved across Illinois faster than anyone anticipated last summer, and when it got here, it killed not only blackbirds and crows, which was expected, but it just about wiped out our blue jay population and I personally disposed of two cardinals. What a sad and scary plague. I'm glad you will be alright.... take care! AJ [ |
