the default setting is to have them listed by most active. you need to click on sort by recency (on the bottom of the list at the right hand box) and save it as your default. no reason to "open" the message. [ Reply | More

[ - ] What am I doing wrong with these posts? I am so confused by this new site...why does it seem that the posts at the top rotate and are not the newest posts like on the old site (not talking about what I am "watching"). also, don't get the regions - no CT region? and when I click on a post I get a fucking error message! 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

the error msg is happening today for some reason. I'm sure they will fix it. The other issues can be fixed by clicking in sort by recency (lower right of your settings box) and then hitting save as default just below it [ Reply | More

The board default is now that the order of the posts reflects the most recent response, as most message boards work this way. You can go back to the old way by selcting sort by recency, save as default, then update filters. [ Reply | More

are you skim coating or just painting....no dust with skim coating and latex paint has minimal fumes...dries in less than an hour. I like the clean smell of new paint. And windows can be opened during JUly. If you feel "stressed" by the idea of fumes, use the new paints from BMoore which are supposedly mroe eco. [ Reply | More

skim coating means that they essentially re-plaster the entire wall and then sand it down to be super smmoth...adds cost. You don't scrape paint. Water damage may require that you repair the dry wall (and there will be a little "dustiness.") [ Reply | More

[ - ] I found out our new nanny (she worked for us for 4 week) was stealing from us. We fired her on the spot. She took change from our change jar. We don’t have a nanny cam in our house and I am a very trustworthy person. I was home alone for the first time while she had the kids at the park and I had a strange feeling that she might be stealing from us or I just wanted to ease my mind that was wasn’t. So, I looked in her purse and found over $40 in change, my new dish soap and Kleenexes. We believe she had been taking over about $40 in change for a week or two. She gave us a million excuse as to why she had taken $ from us and wanted a second chance. She is legal and has state certification for an in-home day care. I am really tempted to call the police or get back in touch with her and threaten her to return everything single dine she stole from us or I will call the police, tell her husband etc… I’m so upset that she stole from us, we paid her very well!
