Thanks to mdmrheaume I finally got the apple card template too but only after trying for at least 30 minutes!!! All is NOT well with this website!!! I am far from a novice when it comes to computers and have seen many really poor websites but this one is BY FAR the WORST!!!!!!! BHG REALLY needs to do something about this!!!!!!!
11/10/2010 04:44:41 PM Report AbuseThanks to mdmrheaume I was able to find the apple card print out, however, tried to print twice and all I got was a top of page title " accordian apple pattern", but NO ACTUAL PATTERN! What a pain!
11/9/2010 07:29:24 PM Report Abusewhat is with this FTD popup??? its annoying.
11/2/2010 03:49:29 PM Report AbuseThank you mdmrheaume, I was able to find and print the Accordion Apple Pattern.
11/2/2010 03:38:06 PM Report AbuseThanks to mdmrheaume, I found the Apple Card template. Had to spend a lot of time even with her help. Follow her directions carefully.
10/18/2010 03:32:38 PM Report AbuseI agree that it should be MUCH easier to quickly get to what you look for. I'm in my 70's and a novice computer person so if it hadn't been for mdmrheaume's instructions, I might have given up!
10/18/2010 12:51:17 PM Report AbuseThanks for the info on the apple card. I do agree with the above readers, your tiems are hard to find on your website. Especially all the ads for new subsriptions. I already have one and will renew when it is time.

10/11/2010 06:14:52 PM Report AbuseHi, folks! I wanted to let you know that everything is up and live at BHG.com/applecard now - thank you for your interest!
10/11/2010 08:38:31 AM Report AbuseI highly agree with missyleigh. Couldn't find the apple card or the recipe for dried tomatoes. This web site makes it hard to find anything. They need a new web designer. Someone that would like to actually find something!
