LL, 95% of my music is in mp3 format and some are left in the reg, they all play when they are in itunes folder. You don't have to convert them I did because I put them on an IPod and because I would burn them to a cd for the car and I could get 22 songs on the CD instead of 10 or 12. I convert them to MP3 by using Roxio, but other software will do it also. I make a playlist in Itunes...under file, "new",name it, then copy and past the songs from my music folders to the playlists in ITunes. It may take some practice. I have a playlist for my favorite songs. When I hear one I really like, I copy and paste it in favorites. It will then be in my favorites and in songs. If I had it to do over I would copy and paste them straight to the playlist and they automatically goes to "songs". I had a lot of duplicates leaning how to do this. If I want to listen to one particular singer or all songs I click on the right option and I set the controls to random. You can delete any songs from the playlists. It will ask "from the computer or just the folder". I would suggest when you get this set up like you want it back the music folders so you don't have to do this all again. If you buy a new computer and need to install Itunes again it will/should install with your folders just like they were. Aren't computers wonderful? I don't travel any more and don't need an ipod so I bought a radio with an ipod dock and can listen to a thousand songs in random if I want. The radio is a Memorex and sounds as good as my Bose. Very nice. I love music, I call it therapy for the soul. My taste in music has changed over the years, I love some of all music.

Here is my story... My great grandma died from HD... my grandma also died from HD... my mom had HD and was in the middle stages when the cancer hit... I also have a uncle in the late stages in a nursing home... as for my mom's other siblings one died in a car accident in his 30's so we don't know and my mom's sister is in her late 50's with no symptoms and has chosen not to be tested... I am the 2nd oldest of 5 children and am the only one who as been tested... my younger brother was diagnosed with Schizophrenia several years ago he is about 15 years younger then me and I will be 41 next month... I really think he is HD positive but he doesn't want to be tested... for the last several years I have been having mild symptoms that were affecting my life and work but mom would get very upset every time I mentioned getting tested... she didn't want to know that she passed it on to any of her five children... so since I was able to compensate for the symptoms I just waited... when Mom got sick and was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma I and my step-dad took care of her (step dad has major health problems him self) I took care of her and my husband took care of me... but unfortunately the stress made my symptoms worsen and Mom was entering the end of her life so we waited until after we laid her to rest and I had the test by the time I had the test I had already been clinically diagnosed by the nuro at our center for HD... so we were pretty sure I had it but were still hopeful the test would show different So yes I have am being treated for this by a nero that is very experienced with HD... it was determined that all the stress from the year fight with my mom had progressed my symptoms I do use a walker and a wheelchair for long outings... and talking is okay but anything written is almost impossible and I choke on a lot of time... memory has been effected a little...but it is more to the effect of not knowing how to start things and stuff like that... Yes I have long term insurance from my job and I had been approved for SSDI before my husband passed Depression is just kicking my butt especially after my husband died... yes we knew I had HD but we were making the most out of it together and with him being gone I am totally lost... and my kids are so young I don't think I would have been able to do what there are at there age I feel blessed with them on the other hand I don't feel I am ready for a nursing home I still have my life to live and there is some much I still want to do... things my husband and I were planning on doing together well we could I apologize in advance if this is all over the place but I have a Hard time explaining things Thanks for listening God bless you all

Bigack, I'm glad it worked for you! Right after I'd hit the "submit" button I got to thinking that what I wrote is correct for Internet Explorer, but I don't know what browser you use, and I'm not familiar with any of the others...

I wasn't going to even respond to your "Chill!" post, but I see you have now edited and added. In the other thread, when I explained how people actually spend time on ids, and requested you just include in the post that you are quizzing only, I thought the whole matter was done. No biggie. But when you began posting in this thread, chiding the OP (original poster) for not finding the plant name on their own by using the internet, referring to googled answers as cheater identifications, and posting about how others should increase their skills or not bother, yes, I thought that was rude behavior. As expressed previously, I don't believe anyone objects to your posting obscure plants as challenge ids, especially when the board is slow. You can even use internet photos and request people not use the search to come up with the guesses. Or have varying difficulty levels. The discussions about characteristics that cause guessers to think a plant might belong to a particular family can be instructive, and there are always new keys to be learned. I've participated in other forums with similar games and it can be fun, especially if people of all skill levels feel they can make guesses without being shamed for wrong answers. I'm not sure what you are referring to with"Anyone who grows Ceropegias ........... ." Care to explain?
