Does the mail run today or no? I've gotten kinda used to having regular mail service again and the mailman showing up around 3 but he's nowhere to be seen today.

Does anyone know how to properly dry roses?? I'd like to dry my Valentine dozen.

Cut the bottom of each stem at an angle. Tie the stems together with a pretty piece of ribbon or some raffia and hang them upside down in a spot that's dry and out of direct sunlight. After a week or so, you'll have a nice dried bouquet. Or, if you want to preserve the color better, go to the craft store and buy some silicon powder for drying flowers. Put some in an old shoebox or other container, lay the flowers individually on top of the layer of powder, then gently cover it with the powder. Cover the box and leave it in a dry place for several days to a couple of weeks (varies depending on humidity and moisture content in the flower). When you pull it out, it should be dried and still look very pretty. If you are doing a whole dozen, you will need several shoeboxes to preserve the entire flower and stem. You want to make sure the flowers are individually covered, so they need some room. Or, you can remove the stems and just preserve the flowers themselves.

Thank you Max! I haven't dried flowers in a long time and I seemed to remember hair spray being involved ... yes it was a long time. I've hung them upside down and now I'll just wait. Thanks again!

Anyone know where I could buy or order (online or a physical store) white, boys size 7ish, polo shirts? Oh LONG SLEEVE. That is the part that is cancelling so many places out for me. THANKS!

Amazon have them in their "Apparel" section - search for "boys polo shirt" when you get there, the first one that came up for me is a selection of long sleeved ones priced $8.99-$9.99. There's also a really expensive Ralph Lauren one. (The small print says the cheaper one is sold by Target, so maybe you should try their website directly too?)

Does anyone have a "My Yahoo" page? My "My Yahoo" page is totally messed today. The news items are very old. The comics are repeats. There is no tv schedule and the list of hockey games for tonight are not the hockey games that are being played tonight. Am I the only one with this problem or is it a Yahoo problem?

Well, that didn't work. I sent a message off to Yahoo to see what they might suggest. I suspect there might be something happening with my computer.

sorry, i wish i could be of more help. the only trouble that i seem to have (and i have it a lot) is accessing my mail after i get into my mailbox. for some odd reason i get an error message from yahoo telling me my mailbox is temporarily unavailable. it is very frustrating. they haven't found the reason yet. i hope they are more helpful to you!

I tried re-booting and that seemed to do the trick. The news is all updated except for USA Today. The comics are new. The hockey schedule is right. There is still no tv schedule...but I don't really need it.

Mary i have the same problem - I think they are trying a new beta - at least I had to click an update button which said beta and my news articles all show one month old. You say yours is OK now?? Did you just log out and in again and reboot???
