At some point I must have become a member of Microsoft Windows XP. When that program opens my computer the first screen demands my user name and password before I can even get to my home page. I really need to delete this page for good but, being a computer illiterate with the IQ of a kumquat, I don't know how to do that. Please help.
No one has helped me on the last two questions. This site used to respond when others asked for help.?
Go to Start %26gt; Control Panel %26gt; User Accounts %26gt; Change the way users log on or off.
Who cares who dares?
Reply:Dont know much myself, but I think you have to go to my computer, start menu and delete it there. Hope it works...good luck.
Reply:well go into your web browser and click on tools then click on internet options then the general tab and enter in a different home page like Yahoo.com or click use blank whichever you want.. I would also clear out the internet cache files as ell as the history while I was there.
If your referring to loging into windows itself you can just log in as guest or any known account then click start then run and type in control userpasswords2 and hit enter then choose the administrator password and click reset password to change it to anything you like.

How many fruit (or other food producing plants) do u have in ur yard?
We have a coconut palm, a passionfruit vine, a mango tree, a pawpaw (papaya) tree, a black mulberry tree, a kumquat tree, an orange tree and of course vegetables in the garden (broccoli, rhubarb, strawberries, tomatoes, green beans and aloe vera). Hehe, I'd be really interested to find out what you all have!
How many fruit (or other food producing plants) do u have in ur yard?
Oh you remind me of my mum! (That's a good thing.)
When I was growing up in Queensland, in the heart of Brisbane, we had macadamia trees; passionfruit vines; two paw paw trees (because you need one of each sex to get the fruit); strawberries in a line along the fence; mulberry trees with the deep red fruit to eat and the green berries to get the red off your hands (and leaves to feed the silkworms); a custard apple bush; 2 banana trees; an aloe vera plant that was essential in the summer months for sun burn; lettuce and cherry tomatoes; parsley and mint that flavoured the Sunday Roast; and a mango tree that I'd climb up into and grab the fruit from the tree as I shared my girlfriends' latest secrets.
Carrots, beans, pumpkin and turnips were all in the backyard and often the quality was pretty bad but we'd pick out the best.
We also had the biggest Jaccaranda tree with those dangly boomerang shaped things in non-flowering months that we used to throw at each other. And the bush with red tulip shaped flowers that we used to suck the honey from, was a source of entertainment as we waited for our next turn at whatever game we were playing in the front yard.
Thanks for allowing me to ramble on and remember my childhood.
Reply:Lets see..... I hope you have time to read .... I have a golden delicious apple tree, potatoes .. two beds, watermelon, pumpkin, tomatoes, cukes, chili peppers, onions, cants, cotton (non-edible), nasturtiums, radish, spinach, sunflowers for the birds. I also have many herbs and flowers.
I would love to have the trees that you have though!
Thanks for letting me brag a little!

Dodge City, Kansas
Circa 1876
Billy Jolinski was alone in the Long Branch Saloon, It was too early for the evening crowd, too late for the midday crowd. Billy was Miss Kitty's piano player. He was far too talented to be playing in a saloon, but times were tough and it did provide a steady income and exposure. His dream was to be discovered by a musical entrepreneur and taken to the "big time." So far, the only compliments his music had solicited were from half drunk prostitutes and completely drunk cowboys!! He took another sip of his beer and played the opening chords to "Allentown," his latest compostition. Miss Kitty came out of her office and stopped to listen. She walked over to Billy.
Kitty:" Billy? (4) Don't Forget to Remember Me when you get discovered!!!"
Billy smiled....."Awwww, Miss Kitty. I'm getting plum discouraged. Sometimes I just want to quit and (5) Speed Home ........... California is a long way off, though."
Kitty:" Go HOME?! No,no, no, my good man. If ONLY I knew the right people. None of my (7) Friends in Low Places have any 'pull.' I'll tell you one thing, though ........ If (2) All U Wanted was a good time, Billy Boy, everyone of my 'girls' would be only too happy to oblige." Billy shrugged and continued plinking the ivories.
That night as cowpokes drifted in, Kitty surveyed the crowd. She spotted an old man, stranger to Dodge, leaning against the bar. Kitty looked at him and smiled . He walked over to her...."Pardon me, "My little kumquat." (6) Do You Know the Way to San Jose?"
Kitty:"Oh, my God!! I wish I had a dime for every time I've been asked that!! ( It was THE pick-up line of the 1870's!!)
The man: "My dear lady, I'm feeling desperately alone. ...alone in an angry sea."
Kitty rolled her eyes....... "Here, let me get you a lifejacket!" She started to walk off.
The Man:" I'm sure you know (3) How to Save a Life all by yourself." He put his arm around her....." Won't you be my (5) Bridge Over Troubled Water ?"
Kitty disentangled herself from his grasp and walked away.
The man stumbled over to Billy , at the piano and said:
"Son can you play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes, but it's sad and it sweet and I knew it complete when I were a younger man's clothes."
Billy just looked up at him and said:
"Sir, I believe this is killing me," as the smile ran away from his face.
"Well I'm sure that I could be famous if I could only get out of this place."

Reply:Not a story, as such, just a statement from a guy to a lover/ex-lover:-
"My little kumquat, all you wanted was to be one of my friends in low places, like the guys in Allentown.
But if you want to know how to save a life, then tell me - do you know the way to San Jose? If you do, I'll set off in my motorised speed home - 'California' - straight away.
If you don't, I may end up taking that bridge over troubled water I've heard about in Minnesota - then you'll really miss me. And , every anniversary, my spirit will come checking to make sure you don't forget to remember me!!"
Reply:I remember when you first came to learn nursing at Allentown hospital, all you wanted, my little kumquat, was to know how to save a life.

So I sit in my boat as the storm approaches playing cards with my friends, a round of bridge over troubled waters, reminiscing about you, my little kumquat, named for the jam you used to serve me for our late breakfasts in bed. You never once stopped to say those three little words to me I longed to hear. And now all I have of you is the mix tape you left behind with 7 songs on it.

"Life is like a bowl of cherries." *shrugs* I seriously have never thought of it that way.?
But if life COULD be like a fruit.......must it be a cherry? Could it be an apple, orange, grapefruit or mango?
So exactly what kind of fruit is life like.....and you soooooo know you can't just name the fruit. You really must explain how on earth you came up with it. Me..personally? Life is like a kumquat.......now I'll explain after I see your answers. Can't wait!
"Life is like a bowl of cherries." *shrugs* I seriously have never thought of it that way.?
Well, Here I go...
* Life is like a Coconut, it can be so tender and swift at sometimes and so hard and rough sometimes.
* Life is like a banana, its sweet and nice but, only when you have the patience to wait for the right time.
* Life is like an orange, it can by juicy but, it can hurt you if you to push too hard (orange peel can hurt your eyes, have you ever squeezed it keeping it near your eyes? the juice that gets squirted in your eyes can be really irritating)
* Life is an apple, some enjoy its taste %26amp; some say it tastes like a mixture of sugar syrup and soil, yuck!
* Life is a pineapple, some get it %26amp; some don't. Those who don't have it, go on to become the top scorers on Yahoo! Answers [No offence meant, just jokin']
* Life is a pomegrenate (hope I spelled that right), it has too many aspects and is far too complex than our imagination. You ain't seen nothin' yet!
* Life is a mango, it gives you the satisfaction, but makes you wait for it. Nothin' is easy here!
* Life is a watermelon, you have to deal with the obstacles if you want to enjoy the success, [here obstacles are the thousands of watermelon seeds]
* Life is a tomato, everyone has it and it is a delicious thing for some and a same old boring stuff for some.
* Life is like a guava, you have to enjoy it but don't indulge in entertaining yourself too much or you'll end up hurting your gums, [those tiny little seeds in the heart of guava can really be annoying]
And the list goes on....

How can I plant a citrus tree indoors? Which ones are easier to grow indoors?
I was thinking about orange, lemon, or kumquat. I have seen a few and they are beautiful. Please help.
How can I plant a citrus tree indoors? Which ones are easier to grow indoors?
Growing citrus plants indoors was once a sign of prestige. In Victorian times, the landed gentry and royalty often invested in greenhouse structures called orangeries. It may not be practical to grow large fruiting citrus trees indoors in our climate, but it is possible to grace a sunny area in your home with a dwarf or miniature citrus.
Citrus plants have very attractive, glossy dark green leaves and the scent of their flowers (and to a lesser degree) their foliage is absolutely incredible! There are several varieties of lemons, limes and grapefruits that make great indoor plants. But don't stop there. You can also grow dwarf kumquats, tangerines and oranges. Not all of them will bear fruits like you buy in the grocery store, but some do, especially lemons and limes. Others will bear smaller, intensely flavored fruits that can be used in special recipes.
The size of indoor citrus plants can vary greatly, so when selecting a citrus plant to grow as a patio or indoor plant, it is important to find out how large it will get. Most indoor gardeners are familiar with Calamondin orange, a compact dwarf orange variety that has fruits about the size of a quarter. It generally stays in the 2-3 foot range. Another popular indoor citrus is the Meyer lemon. It can get to be a large indoor plant, so be sure you have enough room. Meyer lemons can produce large, thin-skinned fruits with wonderful flavor. Even a dwarf lemon may grow as much as 8 feet tall.
To select a citrus for indoors, look for plants that are full of dark green glossy leaves. If the variety is grown as a standard, pick a plant with a strong, straight trunk. Whenever possible, select a plant that is just beginning to bloom so you can enjoy the fragrance right away. Handle citrus plants carefully. Many of them have thorns.

Reply:i have grown calamondin and they are for me the easiest and will be in bloom and fruit (sometimes at the same time!) almost all year long.
the most important thing with citrus is strong sun-you need at least 4-5 hours of direct sun RAYS on you citrus plant if you are going to keep it indoors-putting it outside in summer is beneficial.
the hardest thing is the watering-too much and it will rot-too little and it dries up and it's sometimes impossible for it to come back- when i say the calamondin is easiest it is in this respect- it is a bit more forgiving.
The meyer's lemon is also quite forgiving-my mom has one and if it's still alive (w/ 2 fruit) than it's got to be a survivor!
Basically at least the first couple of inches have be dry before watering it thoroughly-if it's a bigger pot than wait a bit longer. And watch the leaves-i ususally wait till i see them starting to hang just a bit to know when to water-but if the pot seems quite light and the dirt is very dry at the top than don't wait to water. this can be a bit tricky: i have what is called a buddha's hand lemon, it has a very strange shape with the bottom half of the fruit having what looks like fingers! it is the pickiest one to water-it seems that the dirt is sill quite moist and then before i know it all the leaves are drooping and the earth is dry! so i have to really keep an eye on him.
if you can provide soil that is very loose than you can water more frequently as the roots will have more air. you can do this by using a seedling mix and adding perlite or gravel or whatever to loosen up the mix. but this also means that you can't leave it dry completely or it might loose it's leaves.
the last thing is that it needs acidic soil in order to bloom and flower and be healthy in general-you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice to each liter of water or you can add half a teaspoon of aluminum sulfate on the surface of the soil for a one gallon pot every 6 months.
high humidity and cool nights are also a good idea-more so for some varieties.
Reply:A lemon is quite easy in fact it will accually germinate in a good standard potting mix such as shultz or mirical grow.

Another popular indoor citrus is the Meyer lemon. It can get to be a large indoor plant, so be sure you have enough room. Meyer lemons can produce large, thin-skinned fruits with wonderful flavor. Even a dwarf lemon may grow as much as 8 feet tall.
To select a citrus for indoors, look for plants that are full of dark green glossy leaves. If the variety is grown as a standard, pick a plant with a strong, straight trunk. Whenever possible, select a plant that is just beginning to bloom so you can enjoy the fragrance right away. Handle citrus plants carefully. Many of them have thorns.

Reply:i have grown calamondin and they are for me the easiest and will be in bloom and fruit (sometimes at the same time!) almost all year long.
the most important thing with citrus is strong sun-you need at least 4-5 hours of direct sun RAYS on you citrus plant if you are going to keep it indoors-putting it outside in summer is beneficial.
the hardest thing is the watering-too much and it will rot-too little and it dries up and it's sometimes impossible for it to come back- when i say the calamondin is easiest it is in this respect- it is a bit more forgiving.
The meyer's lemon is also quite forgiving-my mom has one and if it's still alive (w/ 2 fruit) than it's got to be a survivor!
Basically at least the first couple of inches have be dry before watering it thoroughly-if it's a bigger pot than wait a bit longer. And watch the leaves-i ususally wait till i see them starting to hang just a bit to know when to water-but if the pot seems quite light and the dirt is very dry at the top than don't wait to water. this can be a bit tricky: i have what is called a buddha's hand lemon, it has a very strange shape with the bottom half of the fruit having what looks like fingers! it is the pickiest one to water-it seems that the dirt is sill quite moist and then before i know it all the leaves are drooping and the earth is dry! so i have to really keep an eye on him.
if you can provide soil that is very loose than you can water more frequently as the roots will have more air. you can do this by using a seedling mix and adding perlite or gravel or whatever to loosen up the mix. but this also means that you can't leave it dry completely or it might loose it's leaves.
the last thing is that it needs acidic soil in order to bloom and flower and be healthy in general-you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice to each liter of water or you can add half a teaspoon of aluminum sulfate on the surface of the soil for a one gallon pot every 6 months.
high humidity and cool nights are also a good idea-more so for some varieties.
Reply:A lemon is quite easy in fact it will accually germinate in a good standard potting mix such as shultz or mirical grow.
