1. you look like a cutie pie to me. :P
1a. don't be embarrassed. i think it's wonderful of you to ask how. :P
2. if you want to see whether or not we've already talked about something, go to the top of the menu, right under the title "Quilting Board - ". you'll see the word "search" and a little magnifying glass. click on the word "search". there'll be a blank box. a few key words into the box the computer can look for in the posts. then click on the "search" button next to the box.
if the search doesn't bring up posts that answer your question, ask the question again.
if you read answers you don't understand, ask again. (we can be quite confusing at times. LOL)
if the search brings up bazillions of post and you're overwhelmed, ask again.
a really good way to ask again might be to pick one of the threads that talked about it before, and add your question to the posts. doing that will bring that topic back to first page of the list. we can use it to quickly refresh our memories about what we've already said and how we presented the information. things that confuse one person are crystal clear to a lot of other people and vice versa. sometimes we have to take turns trying to explain something in a way that makes sense to everybody who wants to know.
doing the search is also a good idea because sometimes, while looking for one thing, you'll stumble across another idea or subject that's new and exciting. it's like going in search of one specific piece of jewelry and finding others you forgot you had. :P
no matter what ... don't go away without the answer to your question. or without saying "hello". :wink: :P
