my52cents If you're happy with the photo editor you use, then no, you don't really need Picasa. Your plan sounds good. And the only reason I know as much about Picasa as I do (and I'm sure I know far from everything about it) is because I've been using it for so...

my52cents You don't have to worry about transferring your HD pictures to Picasa. They're there automatically. Just open Picasa from your desktop and look at your pictures. They're filed by date and by any folders that you've created. When you upload a new picture, just...

my52cents She's right - moustaches are very in! Travel pillows, like maybe you'd take on an airplane or just keep in the car. Or take to the hospital when you have chemo if you didn't want to lug a full-size pillow. I wish you could have seen the ones my friend...

my52cents P.S. Bright pillow cases are fabulous gifts for cancer patients. Consider making travel size pillowcases, too. I'm going to be watching your store!

my52cents LOL No subliminal message intended, but I think I know what you mean and it's a great idea! I had mine for a number of years, too. Sometimes you don't miss things until they're gone. Yep, I should look into getting one. Glad you have room to use yours now!

my52cents You're right. I guess "tile" isn't always the same for other people as it is for me. I meant ceramic tile, but what we have now chosen is actually porcelain tile. That means if there is a crack, the inside will be the same color as the outside. It's pretty...

my52cents There are definitely pros and cons to FB when it comes to families! Overall, it's a benefit to me, but more for business purposes (through "fan" pages) than otherwise. Glad you got an answer to the question. It makes sense that that's how it works. Now to get...
