A Newbie and new Fulltimer Diane shared 3-MORE OF HER MEGA PACKING TIPS. She offered many hints after she read my Packing Tips E-Book. This girl is organized for sure.
*** She uses her Food Saver to vacuum pack opened packages of chocolate chips, etc. for travel.
*** Empty plastic peanut butter jars make superior storage for rice, specialty flours, etc. They’re lightweight plus they keep moisture and insects out. She tapes cooking directions to each jar.
*** Diane didn’t want to be without her bread machine. She even makes hamburger buns and pizza crust with the dough cycle. By replacing her original large machine with a small lightweight model she freed up space. The small loaves are a better size for the two of them.

Al and Kelly shared "An easy way to FOLLOW THEIR BLOG or anyone else's too, or to access a favourite website” – add an Icon on your desktop. Open the website and hit ‘File’ in the top left corner, then ‘Send’. Follow one of the options that open up. If you share the site by email – a formatted email will appear. No more rummaging around looking for the website address.
You can also save to your Favourites, but at times – saves to Favourites can be hard to locate unless you organize that list in folders. Read Al and Kelly’s Blog Here

Ron and Brenda and Joe each shared the fact that the ‘POSTCARD VIRUS’ is again circulating. Although Snopes says this is a Real Virus, it’s not new and according to them it’s NOT the worst identified by CNN. They say it may do damage but it won’t likely burn up your hard Drive. I just caution everyone to check for Spam in any email with a link – Hover your mouse over the link – if it comes up in the TaskBar with different site than the words on the link, it’s probably Spam or worse. Be cautious if you receive a card that appears to come from a friend. DON’T CLICK THE LINK to pick up that card – instead GO to the website by typing the URL in the Address Bar. Search for the place to add the card pick-up #. One last point, ALWAYS be cautious of any link you are asked to open. Read this full story Here
