1st delivery! -chicken truck security- mac users

   Mon, June 18, 2007 - 5:44 PM
Tomorrow is the first delivery for '07. After equipping my truck with a hitch, buying 20 new totes, numbering them, and picking up a borrowed trailer today, I'm ready. First thing after am bus run tomorrow, I'll pick lettuce, radishes (provided they're not wormy), arugula, rhubarb, and bok choi. Rinse it all, seperate into shares and pop 'em into totes. By this time, C should be done his exam and I'll pick him and his friend up to help me pop the totes into the trailer and off we go. I hope the pick up processe was explained well enough. Oh, and I'll have to write an e-newsletter to send to all my members.


The rest of my 'in-between-time', between bus runs, was spent buying and trying to figure out the battery fencer (mostly with lots of @#$!) I'm using on the chicken truck. I'm not sure R attached it low enough, the Lily Dog pulled apart the bottom of the thing last year and he's got the electric wire about 1' off the ground. It makes a high pitched squeak every couple seconds, and I can't tell if she's driven mad by it, or if she's put off. she certainly doesn't want to go near it when I'm around. I'm going to have to monitor the wire on the bottom.

Hey, does anyone know how to put all the email addresses from one grouping in 'mail' on a mac into the bcc window? When I've done it in the past, some of the addresses, not all, don't transfer, just the names. So, I've been doing it one at a time, which is a royal pain.

I can't help you with that, sorry, but I know our electric fence has a high pitch that my dog hears. If its doing something weird the dog gets annoyed and won't follow me around my goat pens. The goats also know the tick of when its safe to jump for a piece of fruit in a second interval of the power shot. So in a nut shell, please check out the noise, you could be driving the animal mad. I know this only because I've seen the behavior of our lab. He would rather curl up inside the yukky chicken coop and hide rather than be out with us fixing a problem electric fence line.

We are also new to the whole thing so we could be torturing all the animals and never even know it..... ugh

and I think I can help with the bcc/address book problem: are you sure the names aren't links to the (hidden) address? I am guessing the one's that just come up as 'names', are listed in your address book as a name, and the others are listed with their email address only. (I seem to remember you can select if it will show the whole address, or just the name). As far as I know it will still send them to the address, just wont show the whole address. If you click "send", if there were recipients without a valid email address, it would reject them and give you a warning about that. If it just merrily sends them, then the address was just "hidden". Does that help?

When I highlight them all and drag them all into the bcc window in an email, sometimes some of them get transfered as name only, sometimes not. I looked, and all of them are entered the same way, the names are links to the person's whole file (name,# etc). They've all got valid email addresses, I send them individually and they're fine. Even when I drag that name over individually, they're fine. Weird. My sis, the mac lover has had this problem too.
