I am very thankful and grateful for this forum and for everyone here on it - information, support, good (and bad) jokes and puns, life events - everything. Thank you all so very much for being part of my life. Love, Catherine

Thank you, Denne! And Gwen says "Thank You!!" to everyone here.

If it's a simple return with a couple pages, fold 'em. The extra postage to mail them flat isn't worth the bother. Massachusetts, though, requires paper returns to be mailed in flat. Perhaps they can't figure out how to put a weight on them to flatten them properly. Or perhaps with the three-page standard form plus four-page proof of health insurance form that must be included, single-sided, with every return, it just isn't feasible to try to tri-fold a MA return.

Thanks, Wendy!

Gwen says "Thank you!" to everyone for the kind and encouraging words. And I do, as well.

Well, Gwen isn't a football player, but she got her ACT scores today. 30 overall and 29 on the writing test! In the overall, she also got a perfect score (36) in reading. Yay, Gwen!

Congratulations, Tom!!

Sometimes the direction also depends on logistics -- there was one apartment I lived in years ago where the only way it worked was to roll under. There was some sort of "roof" over where the paper lived that prevented one from getting at it unless it was under. And in this house, one of our paper towel dispensers downstairs rolls under because it's a snap-in, and if the towels roll over the top, then the whole roll gets knocked out when one piece is torn off.

Over the top. And, when one uses paper with designs (do they even make those anymore?) it's the only way the design shows. UNLESS you have cats. In which case sometimes the only safe location for the paper is inside the cabinet!

A belated "Thank you" to all our veterans. I was away on the day itself and couldn't post, but I was thinking of you all.

The one BIG recommendation that I have is get as much RAM as the machine will hold!

Somehow this entire thread double-posted, sorry!

A couple of pictures from the wedding ball last Saturday. We'll have professional pictures later (those were the wedding favors to guests!), but for now the only one with me has my eyes closed. Sigh. So -- first one is my two girls and I. Fiona (the older) on the left, Gwen in the middle (wearing a dress formerly belonging to the bride's now-deceased mother; it was a great hit with the bride, her brother, and her father), and then me. Doug isn't in the picture because he was taking it. The pro pictures have all four of us but they won't be available until Thanksgiving week earliest. Other two pictures are bride & groom from front and back. Bride made her gown, almost entirely hand-stitched. It's a sacque gown made of ivory and peach silk. Catherine

I read on another forum that Red Gear has now dumped TRX, as well (should be treated as unsubstantiated rumor at this point). But if true it surely does not say good things about them in general. Hope you're reading, TRX.

I got my ATX disk today by US Mail -- the envelope was torn across the top but it seems that everything is there (archive disk and marketing flyers). I am also a TRX-deal person, and like Kea have only gotten a couple of calls and emails - nowhere near the nuisance level. The nuisance level calls/emails I get is from Red Gear, from whom I got a demo CD about 5 years ago. They just will _not_ let up. Catherine
