Yes, MAG! Sometimes that's all that gets done, but at least it is done!

Thanks, Maggie. Don't worry about the video; just when and if you have time. I am pleased with the tips you already gave me and maybe i can find it online? If you can give me the name of it or the gal?

Ugh...fleas. I loved watching the drop off and die the higher in altitude we drove when moving back West. That's the one thing that would keep me away from New England living, again.

I hope you get better bidding on the camera, too.

You know what would help with organising all of your notes, etc.? A tickler file. I don't mean regular files, either. When I was in sales and needed to quickly look up info on a client, I had a flat small leather flip file. It was kind of like a photo album in that it has 3 x 5 plastic sleeves, with index cards, lying, one on top of another in a vertical fashion with just enough space between each that the alphabetical title of each, handwritten, could be read at the bottom of each. Pick the one I want, flip the whole thing open to that one and voila! So, it wasn't so much a To-Do tickler as a file of useful info, contacts, etc.

This has the guts of the one I had, but not the nifty holder: click

One thing I did with all those pieces of paper, notes, etc. was to buy a recipe box, 3 x 5, alphabetised tabs for it, and then each paper/note is filed under an appropriate letter, i.e. CDs of music which I've heard and want to order would go under "M" for music, etc.

There's some neat info HERE.

Darn it. I cannot find the kind of binder i had. When I find mine, I'll take a picture of it. It was SO handy. Oh, well, there are some good ideas up there. I like the idea of setting a timer for working on something. I used to do that!
