To delete "favorites" highlight the one you want to delete, right click on the mouse and it will give you a list of options. Click on delete and it is gone. Also there is only so much room in favorites, so the oldest one will drop off when you add a new one that is over the limit. I have noticed also that when you go to a favorite, sometimes, it is no longer available on the internet.

I use it primarily to keep track of projects I want to do. I have tabs for sewing, needlework, crochet, quilting tutorials, ideas for projects with my GD. It's a creative storage place for me. I think it might also be very well used as a personal recipe book. What are some of the things you do with Growly?

It was getting hard to find things in my lists of saved sites. If there is such a thing as a website collector/hoarder, I guess I qualify. My sewing, quilting, blogs, and garden categories had over a hundred names in each.
I decided to do some weeding out, and was dismayed to discover that some of the sites were no longer there. The information, tutorials, and photos that I thought I could rely upon for future use were gone. I am so bummed out!

Well I am a "horder" also. Before I read this I was just cleaning out my favorites. One whole folder named hobby was just deleted because I knew I would never look at some of those websites. I have 5 years of saved stuff. Why?????????? Is it a sickness?? I will never make all of those patterns, etc. I also have 3 small totes with saved patterns and ideas. I think I need a Twelve Step Program". LOL It seems fun and necessary at the time.

I had forgotten all about my old email stash. I go through the email when received, then file the "good" stuff away in mail folders. My eBay and Amazon folders have bid confirmations from 2009. Thanks for the housekeeping reminder CindyA.
I got real mail from my boyfriend after he was drafted and was in boot camp. I saved every letter until the man I married years later found them with my prom pictures and chucked the letters. I remember the smell of the stationery and ink and his really lousy penmanship. I wonder if men still write love letters, or just email them.
