Sorry, dumb question.

9 years ago

I have Seven Home Premium and I use Windows Live mail. I need to copy my contacts because I desperately need my computer debugged and I fear I may lost the contacts. How do I copy all the entries and their information and print it out? Because I have been told so often that I should dump MS Live Mail and MS IE I plan to force myself to learn Google Chrome and G Mail. I am 70 and very computer dyslexic, so I have to ask.
Thanks.

I just checked mine and I think I found what you need, not sure. Open your email and click on contacts then home. You will find export there. Use the down arrows. I think you would select comma something values.

No questions are dumb.

EmmaR---Thank you, so much! I do annoy a lot of computer savvy people and I really can't learn and retain computer related things normally. I have 2 MS degrees with high honors but I remain "computerdyslexic." You are very kind!

A really dumb, dumb, dumb Nepeta quesiton
Q
Comments (31)
Nepeta is one of the most carefree long blooming plants there is. I think it's worth a try. I have two cats, and used to have another. None of them took any interest in my nepeta at all, even when I stuck it under their noses. We have ferrel cats in our neighborhood too and I have never seen one around my nepeta. If you do happen to have a cat in the neighborhood that wants to eat it or lay in it, at least it probably won't want to poop there too. Nepeta is easy to propagate. If you carefully pull a stem away from the base, it will already have itty bitty roots attached to it and can grow into a good size plant in one season. Just stick the new starts in a shady place for awhile until they get established. It should be very easy to get nepeta in a plant trade or make your own starts if you purchase a plant. Then if you do happen to have new cats hanging around, you won't have spent much and can rip it all out. I don't think you'll need to. In fact there may be some places in your garden where you can use nepeta as a ground cover instead of loose mulch where I suspect you're finding kitty poo. Cats like to scratch in loose soil, sand, or mulch. They're not likely to poop on top of a plant.

Dumb onion question
Q
Comments (9)
If the tops have died down, the bulbs won't grow any bigger, as they no longer have any leafy green photosynthetic parts to feed the bulbs. Leaving them in the ground just leaves them open to nematode or other insect attack. I grow my onions from seeds that I start under growlights around March 1, then transplant into the garden around May 15. Transplants produce larger onions, but they ripen later (mine are still standing and green right now). If you started yours from those green-onion sets that are sold widely in the spring, they will ripen much sooner but will tend to be smaller.

Next time you find one, check to see if it has, on its back, eggs the size and color of a grain of rice. Often times it will have several. If it does, and you can stand to do so, leave it be for a few days. That is the egg of a wasp. The egg hatches and then the larvae of the wasp devours the worm. Doing it this way ensure that the beneficial wasp lives to kill the next worm you miss.

Hold the phone... she asked if she could direct vent a wood stove or wood fireplace, and the answer is absolutly not. The only things that can be vented with a horizontal termination cap is direct vent gas. Wood appliances need to be vented with the termination cap 2 feet above anything with in 10 horizontal feet of the cap. In other words, if you chimney was coming out of the roof 5' from the peak, it would need to be 2 foot above the peak.

When I first started using a computer my sis gave me some good tips, the most important being use a notebook to write down things you have learned or changed. It was invaluable to me and after a time I didn't need it anymore. Now I find I need it again because of aging. I also save instructions in a folder on my computer named PC Tips and that helps, especially with Firefox changes. I also copy and paste useful tips from the internet in it.

I did not like Window Live Mail when I saw that huge tool bar on the top. I looked closely at all the items on top and discovered the quick access bar and learn to drag and drop items I use then minimize the ribbon (big tool bar). It now looks like this.
