Square, I right click on the screen, once it archives (so right click on the archive,) chose "save Target as," and it'll save it to your desktop. Then I drag it into a folder. Not sure if there's another way, but that works.

Squaredsc: Here are the options for saving pages from the clubhouse. Note: This is as you are viewing the page.

In Netscape 7.x, the option to use is 'File - Save Page As' then, when the save dialog opens, at the bottom your choices are:

'Web Page, Complete' - Save the page plus all graphics on that page
'Web Page, HTML Only' - Saves only the page itself, all graphics are links back to the Clubhouse server.
'Text File' - Saves the page in a .txt file that can be edited or displayed with Notepad, etc.

In Internet Explorer Version 6.x, the option you use is 'File - Save as' and you're options are similar:

'Web Page, complete (*.htm;*.html)' - Saves the complete page with Graphics.
'Web Archive, single file (*.mht)' - Saves the page in a single file with graphics, etc.
'Web Page, HTML only (*.htm;*.html)' - Saves the page only with links to the Clubhouse for graphics.
'Text File (*.txt)' - Text only page (without links) for editing/viewing in Notepad, etc.

In both versions, when you use 'complete', the program creates a subfolder to where the page is stored with the same name as the page itself and saves the graphic images there. This is the method that I would recommend using since any unique (not system) graphics on the page will be removed when the pages are removed.

Hope this helps.

Squaredsc: I just looked at the older version of Netscape (4.7x) to see the options there. You can save a page as HTML, however, it does NOT save the graphics locally. You would be stuck without the pictures if you used that to save the archives. I would suggest you make sure you have either Netscape Version 7 or Explorer Version 6 before you attempt to save pages! :)

Coverlets are to be used over a bedspread or comforter. They're mostly for added color or flair.

In your profile for this club there is a place to fill in your "ICQ#" what does this stand for??????

BigD, it was originally known as "I seek you". 4 Israeli guys in their early 20s started it in Nov. of 96. I joined ICQ in Feb of 97 and my number is 503150. I have the 4 Israeli guys on my ICQ list. The number of subscribers is now over 100 million. It is an instant messaging service that is free. It was bought by AOL for 300 million dollars about 3 years ago.

JOSEPH PILATES
1880 - 1968

Born near Dusseldorf, Germany in 1880, Joseph Pilates suffered from asthma, rickets and rheumatic fever as a child. His determination and drive to overcome those ailments led to the study of both Eastern and Western forms of exercise: including yoga, zen, ancient Grecian and Roman regimens. He took them one step further by combining skills with his knowledge of exercise and anatomy, to design apparatus geared specifically to his philosophy.

Joseph Pilates - the name is of Greek origin - brought his revolutionary method of physical and mental conditioning to the United States in the early twenties. His studio in New York City caught the attention of the dance community - and Pilates technique became an integral part of dance training. Such legends of dance as Ruth St. Denis, Ted Shawn, Martha Graham, George Balanchine, Hanya Holm and Jerome Robbins, have all practiced Pilates and taught it to their students. Pilates felt that his work was probably about fifty years ahead of its time, and although his name is not yet a household word, people from all walks of life are discovering and choosing the Pilates technique as their fitness program. Hospitals and physical therapy centres worldwide are using Pilates to rehabilitate injured athletes and dancers. Many athletes - even football players - now incorporate Pilates into their training. Pilates-based fitness studios are teaching the technique to an increasing number of ordinary people who are tired of the "pumping iron" atmosphere of conventional gyms and aerobic dancing studios.

NC, yes, moderators have moderated other mods, and I know I've moderated myself a few times--and been moderated by other mods.

The last one has most recently happened when I posted in response to a post another moderator had removed.

And quite awhile back, Neil got moderated for a picture he put up. It was up for awhile, so a number of people saw it. I admit is was a funny picture at the time.

NC--to me the only dumb question is one you already know the answer to. :)

Not sure what is was before. It's a good place to come and just ask what's on your mind.

Could someone please tell me what a "blog" is?

Whoami

Sorry Fluffy, I have no idea what a "blog" is...Anyone?


Anyway, here's my question of the week...

We are looking into setting up an annuity fund for my mom. The main idea is that, should she have another stroke, and end up in a nursing home, the annuity fund would be exempt from Medicaid deciding to take it all (thus whittling her life savings down to nothing).

Anyway, I'll be meeting with a gentleman next week, and would like some intelligent questions to ask him, since I'm really clueless in this regard. (our lawyer referred him to us)

Also, how do I make sure this guy is legit? I mean, I don't want to end up signing mom's life savings over to him, and have him skip town (not that I think he would, but since I don't know him from Adam right now, I want to be prepared for any possibility). So, is there some type of legal document I look for, some type of credentials I should ask him to present?

Fluffybbw: According to Blogger.com:
What is a weblog/blog?
A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically—like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly—from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction.
