I’m taking a break from Slam the Boards while I finish up my last term in grad school, but I plan to answer many more questions once the new year begins!

Three more best answers for “Scrapbook suppliers in Plymouth, UK?” “How do I make a bibliography with websites?” and “How do I get rid of the smell of old, rotten food?”

I’m not sure how this one happened, but apparently one of my answers has been deleted on a still open question. Again, there was nothing offensive or illegal in either the question or answer - this one was “Public holidays in May 2012?” and I answered with Australian and international holidays (because the user is from Australia). Can someone tell me why my answer was deleted?? This is all very bizarre. Anyways, I was able to save this one before something went wrong. So you can compare the version with my answer to the link in this post if you’d like. The other two answers, which each list one holiday, are still there. Hm.

Well, as confused as I am about my three deleted answers, I just got a nice boost with three more best answers. “Parents, babysitting flyer advice?” “Where can I do some community service other than the library?” and “Does anyone know this song?” I guess you win some, you lose some!

Amazed and confused

So I’m a little curious about recent activity on some of the questions I answered. Two more have been deleted: “How would I flip this picture in Photoshop?” and “How to tag posts on tumblr?” I’m not really sure why this has happened - neither violated any kind of Yahoo! Answers rules. Do users make a habit of deleting questions instead of picking a best answer? It irritates me a bit, because I put time and effort into answering each of the three questions that have been deleted. None of them have had really inflammatory responses either, as they were all pretty basic questions. Anyways, I must persevere!

I’m a big embroidery nerd, so I was excited to answer this question. I know how important it is to have good written instructions paired with clear, bright images in a tutorial. I have a few of these sites bookmarked on my browser for (personal) ready reference, so I picked out a few that show very basic stitches, and a few more that show some really fun and interesting work.
