Liz,
You can go up to Robbin's thread and drag across the questions she's posted so they're highlighted. Then right click and from the menu that pops up, click copy. Then go to the end of the thread and click the reply button. Click in the body of the window that comes up and then right click and choose paste from the menu.

This should put the questions in your reply. Once you've replied to the questions, if you want to make your replies a different colour, just drag across them so they are highlighted and go up to the flip down section that says "colour" and click on the colour you want. You will have to do this for each answer individually otherwise the whole thing will become the colour you chose.

Hope this helps.
:)

-Older folk music like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez and Nick Drake. I also really like older bluegrass, 40s blues like Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson and Son House. And I love classic rock like Zeppelin, The Beatles, Modern Lovers, Sex Pistols, and the Velvet Underground. I could go on and on!

We have 3 on our calendar for April! And I'd like to know the breed of our horses, or favorite breed if we have several.

I live in norhtern Michigan, mixed seasons.

Other than cowboy, I love to sew, scrapbook and take pictures of everything and garden.

I am a Charismatic Christian for the past 17 years. I love God, and serving him.

I am married, I have a step daughter, and a son. My step daughter is 17 and my son is 16.

I am a homemaker, due to a dibilatating illness.

Next to God, my family is the biggest part of my life.

hope this helps. :)

Wow, I guess there are a few questions unanswered that my sp might want to know or would like to know, besides, it bumps this back up again. :D

Ok, I do have peirced ears and do wear earings.

My horses are red/black bay with white socks (can never keep them clean)
red dun (and yes he does have the stripe down his back) and Michael (the Donkey) is black and silver.

I have long hair and do keep it tied up when I am outside. (I don't like knots)

Shirt size, umm I am petite and can fit in size 6 but prefer size 8 for more shoulder room.

Special note to My SP: (No I am not saying who) WATCH YOUR MAIL BOX CLOSELY :rolleyes:

I like DreamRider's add-ons, so I'll do the same.

I do have pierced ears and wear earrings, usually kindof small ones (not the big dangly-down to your shoulder things!)

My hair is short and low-maintenance, so no barretts, bows, or hair-bobs for me!

I like anything horsey, my favorite color is blue.

But really - anything that comes in the mail that isn't a bill is a big thrill!

I love this thread, the answers to the questions have been a great help when trying to shop for my secret pal or the secret santa.

However, as I started reading back through some of the other posts here I see some people addes some questions that are helpful, to thier threads, and I think that those questions would also be helpful for all to answer, and then there are still other questions added here and there too. It may very well be just me and my head not being screwed on straight yet but I am getting confused on the answeres to my sp and ss answers and if they have answered the added questions or not??????

Does anyone else have this problem? I was wondering about making up an updated list with all the original questions and add all the added on questions from some of the later responses and put them all on one, that way when I go shopping, I can just print off this thread and have all of the answers with me on one sheet.

Please give me your feed back! what does everyone think? is it just me? go ahead tell me I can take it.

I would be willing to do the work if you all would like me to.

thanks for listening

Oh CowboysMom, I like your idea! Questions have been added & maybe not answered by all, so a re-do would help. We also had a wish list thread months ago, maybe we could bring that up & people could update that as well. I think, but I'm not sure, I think it was a JL items wish list.

Good thinking! (Don't you just love SS & SP?!)

[Maryb]

An updated 'new' list would be great - adding on stuff that has been posted here and there...

[cowboys_mom]

if everyone feels this way, then I will do my best to design another sp cheat sheet tonight and get it posted as soon as possible.

if anyone has any extra ideas about questions they would like to have asked please pm me. :D
