Follow-Up Postings:
Hi All! I'm Baaaack!! (and having trade with-drawl!!) Although I would love to join, I just don't have the plants at this time. I know some of you know I moved from Michigan to Montana this spring. (btw, my yard looks NOTHING like the pics I posted last summer! LOL) I brought what plants with me that I could, but just didn't have the room in the moving van! I would, however, like to post some pics on the graphics thread if you don't mind. I have sooooo much work to do and posting pics to remind me what I haven't done yet will be a great incentive! (esp. when I post the before pics and you all say "OMG! just move again! It would be easier!" LOL! I don't expect to be included in the contest, I know that is for the swap. But I did miss it on here! I just didn't have time to get on for months! Vic |

I have to pass. I'm only home two weeks out of the month and believe me, I'm so busy pulling weeds, that redoing a bed or making a new bed next month is out of the question. I will however be able to offer a couple of games with plants as prizes. LIFE IS GOOD, |

Theresa, You have a great idea here but I am going to pass... just anticipate it being too hot to get a lot done outdoors in June and I am trying to avoid digging and planting as much as I can until about September. (Don't even like to think about the long, hot, dry summer...) I will be dropping in to say hello to the group and see what everyone is accomplishing. Have fun! Jeanne |
Hmmm....Too ambitious huh? Certainly anyone can participate in the contest without being in the swap and Vice Versa. This way we can include more members. And surely there are some that prefer to not receive plants. If that is the case, please post so that you can get matched up with someone to swap with. I know that most of us like to get plants at this time of year.....that's why I mentioned that. Vic, That means you're in the contest :) I will get a graphics thread started soon. Also, please sign up by June 1st! Theresa |

Theresa, I'm going to have to pass too.. I worked this entire weekend cleaning up my flower beds, putting down new red mulch, moving and dividing plants. Things don't really grow well for me once it turns hot. I would have to wait until mid September or early October to plant a new bed. Have fun with the swap Ladies! I'll check in often! Deb |

I'll play but cannot start another new flower bed for i have 4 now that need filled in :))) so if that will be ok :)) i'd love to play . still have to up-date my trade list yet . will go work on it :)) . |

Theresa, Hope you all have fun this month but I have to pass also. It is getting too hot here also. Thanks, Amy |
Well, now that I'm in the contest I really have to get in gear! Looks like there won't be much competition, I just might have a chance!! Theresa, will the graphics thread be in this forum, or a different one? Vic |
Hi, Now all you Southerners are making me feel good about my weather. It doesn't get too hot to dig and plant here! I'm in for trade plants, but I'm not making over anything this year. I did a few beds last year. If the contest was in July for making over a patio, I might win! lol. Actually, I'll be building a bed in front of the new deck, but it is going to be awhile on that. Remy |

I miss everyone and this does sound like fun BUT>>>> I'm not gardening in my own dirt this summer so I need to pass. I'll be watching and stop in to say hello every once in a while. Beth b |

Sorry to have to say this but I'm passing on June's swap. Will be passing on July's also. Will be away too much to be able to join in on the swapping. Will be checking in to say hello though. Later...April/dirt_under_my_nails |

I am in for this month. It's getting really hot here, but we keep having rain...and rain...and more rain...LOL...so I think everything will be OK to trade next month. Possibly a bit wet..but shouldn't be too bad. Vic- good to see you back! How did your move go? Off to work on my trade list! :O) Melissa |
Thanks, it's good to be back, I'm sure I missed a lot of good swaps (and stories!) As far as my move, picture a gigantic lolipop it su----! Vic |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Tue, May 27, 08 at 17:57
I think part of the reason you see us "Southerners" being leary of planting in the hot weather is what we experienced last summer... horrible drought for nearly the whole year in 2007 and many places had water restrictions. Perhaps it will rain more this year and we will be more flexible in 2009. All of the problems of last year are still fresh in our memories. Our Spring stated off better than last year for rain, but the last few weeks have been very dry. Now wouldn't it be nice if Mother Nature scattered the rain around instead of floods in one place and drought in another? Anyway, there are some areas of my yard I want to re-do and plan to re-do, but it sure won't be until late in the fall. Have fun everyone! Can't wait to see the pictures. Jeanne |
Theresa, I'm willing to give this a try. What with being in school all week and rain on the week-ends, my beds area MESS with weeds. So they need a massive clean-up. I don't remember how to post pics, but I can try if someone will help me. I don't plan to redo a bed or start a new one, though. I have places that I can add to. Is this okay, Theresa? If it's not, don't be afraid to let me know. My feelings won't be hurt. :) Laura, I am sending out your box today. I posted the DC# on the May thread. Maryanne and Shirley, I wrote to you, too, on the May thread. All of you have a blessed day, |
I was told when I moved here (Billings, Montana) that I would learn what it is like to garden in a drought. The summers are supposed to be hot and very dry. And I've been told that it is quite a challenge to grow things because of that. It has been raining almost everyday since I got here! Yesterday on the news they said we just broke a record for the most consecutive days of rain LOL! Since my ground is all rocky, hard clay the rain will make it easier for me to get out and start digging (I hope). They usually have water restrictions here in the summer also. We are not in the city, and there are very few areas that you can actually dig down to get a well. We are on a cistern so water will definately be rationed. There is a grey water tank set up but I have to get the pump in it and get it going. It is evidently like a sump pump, and when there is water in the tank it kicks on and sends it to where I have the hoses going. Hmmm......that might be the only thing that saves my flowers! This is all new to me! If anyone out there has the same type of system I would love to here comments/suggestions. Now, before you go too far, I did post on another area in the forum asking about the grey water tank, and have read some water saving suggestions. Everything from saving the water out of the faucet while waiting for it to get hot, don't flush unless it's solid, to collecting urine in a separate container then mixing it with the grey water and use it for the garden (supposed to be good for it). Ok, so I did try the saving water in a gallon jug while I was waiting for the hot water when doing dishes (I actually saved 2 gallons in one day and it was quite easy) When I told the guys about it my SS - 24yrs old said "so, that means I can pee on your plants" LOL I told him that was the closest I was going to get to recycling urine. Well, gotta get some unpacking done, it's is supposed to be nice out today and I want to get out and play - and start working on that big patch of Burdock that has taken over one side of the house! Have a nice day! |
Jeanne, I forgot how terrible bad last year was for so much of the southeast! I hope I didn't sound like I was picking on everyone. I was just thinking how I complain about the long winter, and can't do too much while you all are out enjoying beautiful spring weather. Anyway, I would be gun shy too. If you can't water what you plant, that obviously isn't good. I sure do pray you all don't see a repeat of that. Remy |
Vic, ~ to collecting urine in a separate container then mixing it with the grey water ~ OMG!! THat is DISCUSTING!!!! LOL I have lived in Wyoming all my life and I have never been that desperate for water for any of my gardens... Where you are and where I grew up is very similar. We have to watch our water waste but there has never been a shortage so bad that we couldn't have a garden and keep it healthy or have to go with out showers, dish water and the other everyday stuff. I dont have a cistern or a sump pump right now but have in the past. We have a well and it would be nice to have a cistern for storage because I tend to water way to long at a time and stress the pump. One of the best ways to 'save' water is to catch it in a barrel when it rains. Either off the top of your house or like a giant rain gauge. Everyone around here and where I grew up has them - I think they are built in with them homes LOL Welcome to the west! PS |
Marie, Thanks for the welcome and encouraging words! Our cistern isn't for the grey water, it is our "well" we have to have a water truck come out and fill it (just like you would a propane tank)then it is pumped into the house just like out of a well. My Sis n law lives in Sheridan, WY are you anywhere near there? Vic |

The weather in Illinois has changed drastically over the years. We had normal seasons before, now everything is more extreme. We went from our first 83* day to 50* with in a matter of minutes! I wanted to turn on the central air so bad, but knew I had to hold off because I would be tempted to turn on the heat when the cold temps arrived. We really don't have a spring anymore (70's, sunny) we seem to have chilly weather that isn't comfortable (40's at night, threats of frost, 50's-low and jump straight into the HEAT of summer! Upper 80's, 90's that last up until mid September! Finally we then go back to chilly temps in mid-Sept to October. Then we freeze to death for months! I can't even imagine how birds survive our winter! Our storms are much stronger too, and most hit without warning. We have never had the yard flood like it did this spring! I was totally shocked looking at my garden under water for a few days! I'm in an area where no one has flood insurance (it's not needed). I'm really rethinking that! Deb |
mellen, of course adding to a bed counts! Glad you're in. Glad to see we have a few more joiners :) Please all, don't be afraid, you don't have to be in the contest to swap :) Theresa |
Vic, I live in the south east corner of the state - about an hour north-east of Cheyenne. But I grew up in Kaycee and went to some real fun party's in Sheridan :) Well... there isn't a whole lot to do for entertainment in Kaycee - 310 people is what the sign say's but I think they may be counting some twice! LOL Having to have your water hauled is going to be interesting but drilling a new well right now is VERY pricey!! One of my neighbors just had one done here and it was over $10,000! Only 250 feet deep & not that great of water. They chose to quit there as it was just for watering the yard and new tree's for their wind break. Marie |
So far we have in the swap: Skohler and Vic playing but not swapping. I don't think I missed anyone? Of course, still plenty of time to sign up. |

What the heck, I changed my mind if it is ok that I can send to my partner at the end of the month? June and July are going to be busy busy months. LIFE IS GOOD, |
Yay! Annie is in too. :) |
Ok, I'm not sure I have much of a chance at winning after all......after spending 30 min searching for a plug outside the house or in the garage - which is full of boxes and stuff and you can't even walk in it- I found one - on the ceiling! But, didn't matter cuz I'm outta weed wacker string! Can't find my pruners - for the one bush I do have, so then I went out to start loosening up the soil with my garden fork - NOT - this is some hard rocky ground, even after all the rain we've had! Can't get to my rototiller, it is burried behind all the other stuff in the garage! But, I did get some pics! Wow, I've got a lot of work ahead of me! LOL Vic |

Theresa, I've sent you an e-mail through here, and if you don't get it please let me know. LIFE IS GOOD, |
Annie, I haven't received anything. I don't know if GW email works anymore. We always seem to have this problem. It is email@example.com Anyone else want to sign up? I will be away until Saturday night at which point I will try to do partners. And maybe start a mini contest. Theresa |
- Posted by raggedyann161420 z5Illinois (email@example.com) on Fri, May 30, 08 at 7:40
Theresa, I sent you another e-mail, and thankyou for hosting this swap. I return to work tonight, but when I'm back home next Friday I will do a mini contest also. I'm sorry but I won't be redoing any beds, and right now I would be ashamed to show any pictures as I'm only home two weeks out of the month. I think the good Lord put weeds on steroids when he created them. hehe LIFE IS GOOD, |

just poppin in to say GM looks as we might get some needed rain today :))) it sprinkled last night . will be perfect for sharing plants this month :) & will be sending my box out early , I will be going in on the 19th of JUNE to have my left eye done :( it would be a piece of cake if you didn't have to do so many eye drops :( before & after . well better get off here nice cloudy morning to bake daddy a pie :) Happy Gardening |
I thin k that I am going to have to pass this month too, While I would love to trade this month. I am on a quest o make a few areas look better which means weeding and moving what I have. What is the cut off adate again? I will see what I have done. The heat here is not a problem it is the drought. Laura |

well we just got a 15 min roaring thunder storm pass through its headed east :( now the sun looks as if it might want to shine again :) hope everyone has a great weekend susie |
Hey Theresa, I think you are my big sister!? Sue wants my info (I can't believe she lost it just because I was MIA for sooooo long! LOL) And I think it was you that adopted me, but, due to lack of organization, and not being unpacked yet, I can't find all my old swap info! I belive it was last July, but I also did a swap with Deb, but I don't think she is my big sis, and can't even remember if it was an OBF swap, might have been MNF! Like I said, lack of organization! (hope that isn't a requirement to stay in the group, if it is I am sure to be kicked out! LOL) If I have been gone so long that you want me to be "re-adopted" I understand and that is ok. Sue, Vic ~ who also lacks memory! |
Ok, found the thread, but, I can't find where I put in a review for you Theresa! I'm sorry, I thought I had done them for all my trades! I do remember the box very well now, When I planted things I used window blind markers and permenant marker and put on them who they were from and where and what. The marker didn't make it through the winter, I have lots of plants that I brought with me that I have to get ID's on this year! I really wanted to keep track of where things came from thought it would be neat, my country-wide garden! I'm going to have to do some searching and see if I can't find what I got from who and where! Vic |
Here is a link that might be useful: Newbie thread
Okay, here we go: Shirley(brittnysgran) sends to Susie(skohler) Hope I didn't miss anyone. If so, please let me know! Okay. Mini contest. The first person to correctly identify the name of this grass AND spot the almost-hidden "garden art" in the picture will win a division of the grass (or something else. I will try to find a couple choices) AND a small scented hand lotion (for after you're done 'gettin dirty'). A hint....I think this picture makes it look a little bigger than it is. The stalks are actually about 2 ft tall. However, my malva zebrina in the background are on steroids this year or somthing. They are about 7 ft tall! I don't know what happend :0 Also I am starting a photo thread for anyone wanting to post before pictures (or heck just any pictures...we all like to look at them). Theresa |
Oh yeah! Sorry Vic, I hadn't totally forgotten you but I forgot that you were the one that sent me that scented geranium I have by the pool. :) Now I have two little sisters. That's cool with me. Theresa |

Anita, hang in there, I dug plants today so hope to mail monday. I sit down, fall asleep, mothers day seems to have wiped me out. Vic, do you get much rain there ? My dh has all our gutters draining into barrels, so when it does rain he saves the water, of course we are in washington state !! sorry I had to sit out this month but will be checking in. hugs carol |
- Posted by skohler 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Jun 1, 08 at 8:12
looks like a birdbath in back as for the grass maybe pink feather grass :) wynative can you email me your address please . ty Happy gardening all |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 08 at 13:10
Yay! I get to send to Anita! I don't think I have before? :O) Anita~ Please send me your address & a list of things you'd like. I hope I can get something together for you that you'll enjoy. :O) Melissa |
Susie, I't's not pink feather grass. I do have a birdbath in that bed but I don't think it's anywhere in the picture. I should say that it's not true garden art but an object that is often in my garden(so in a humorous sense is garden art). quiet thread. Where is everyone? |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 08 at 14:52
I will take a guess and say Pink Muhly Grass. Garden art: a rake? Jeanne |
Hi All, I've been busier than heck! Today was the local plant swap party, so I've been trying to get prepared for that the best I could this past week. I couldn't dig anything big because of breaking my toe, lol. The party was a lot of fun as usual. Quite a few new people were there. One lady(completely new to the area) was so happy about coming and people bringing her stuff that she brought fresh brown eggs from her chickens! Yesterday was a crazy day too. They had a silent auction at work ending yesterday evening. I had to be there because I was trying to win a $400.00 grill(if it was new.) I got it for $49!! I also got some smaller goodies too. For the contest, I'm guessing a love grass, and it looks like a giant spool in the background. Try to decide what it was was like a Rorschach Inkblot Test, lol. Mellen, Vic, |
Ahhh, Remy, I see you got me again. If you'd rather, and our hostess would agree, maybe we could change partners. It's up to you, dear. Mary Ellen |
Sure, guys. I didn't realize you've been paired already and there weren't many participants to "mix up". Jeanne, LOL! There is likely to be a rake anywhere! But that's not it. It is smaller than a rake and not pink muhly grass. Theresa |
Does anyone want to switch partners with Remy and send to mellen? There were a couple "requests" I was trying to honor but there were others that were random so I suppose someone will want to switch. Theresa |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Mon, Jun 2, 08 at 8:27
Okay, how about Ruby Grass and those plastic gardening shoes that everyone wears these days? I keep trying! Jeanne |
Theresa, Of course you wouldn't know! Last month Remy sent plants to me for every single letter in my whole name-including my maiden name. It was a total of 23 plants. Just thought I would offer for her to not send to me again if she didn't want to. It's totally up to her, though. I don't care either way. I HOPE you didn't think I was stepping on your toes. I would NEVER want to do that to you!!! Mary Ellen |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Mon, Jun 2, 08 at 17:32
Okay - I'm trying two guesses this time on what the yard art might be: one of those plastic owls or snakes that is supposed to scare critters away from eating you plants and seeds? (Can you tell I can't ID a thing... just guessing!) Jeanne |
Hi All, I've been at work. I've got no problem sending to Mellen. I think, lol, I have enough variety to give it a go again! : ) Got to go Gary made me dinner, and he's calling me! Remy |
For those of you who might have missed my morning joke.. Here it is.. Happy Evening ROSES & HANGING BASKETS A teenage granddaughter Happy Gardening. |

ANNIE Recieved your great box of plants today sorry for posting here but could not get the other may forum open . hope you don't have to go on any more road trips like that :)) remy if you do not have enough just let me know if you need or still which to trade I'm sure I can find a couple I'm very busy this week with getting ready for my plant swap this weekend . looks as it might be a good turn out will let you all know :)) well I'm very tired tonight so have a great evening susie |
- Posted by brittneysgran z6NC (My Page) on Mon, Jun 2, 08 at 22:15
Remy- Gary made dinner and is calling me??? I would kill over dead if DH ever did that....definetely no help with the cooking..he will do dishes sometimes though. A grill for $49.00..what a good deal you got. Marie-That patio is beautiful...wish you lived close to me. You could help me do a walkway that has got to have something done to it. Steve (my son) did say he would come and do it this weekend so we will see. Your poor frogs legs. LOL Laura-That joke is so cute. I want to remember that one. It's odd but I read and hear cute ones but can never remember them. Theresa-Pink crystals Ruby grass and the garden art could be the wooden item on the ground, it looks something like a monkeys head, crocodile head, or a frogs head. I really have no clue just guessing. I hope to get all my plants shipped out this week for the prizes, June swap and etc. I will let everyone know when I get them sent. Shirley |
Theresa, Is it Karl Forster Feather Reed Grass and a grill? If Remy is okay sending to me again, I'm okay with that, too. No partner switch needed. Marie, poor little froggie! :( You lucky ladies having plant swaps. They sound so fun! Wish I was there. Tell us about them when they are done, okay? Tomorrow is a 1/2 day of school then the kids are done. Teachers are done on Thursday, but of course many of us will still be there as we are moving to different rooms in the same building. Huge fruit basket upset! I like where I'm going, though. Plus, I don't have to weed through everything since I did that last year. Good night, |
- Posted by raggedyann161420 z5Illinois (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Jun 3, 08 at 12:40
Theresa, I'm going to guess Pennisetum Karley Rose and I'm not for sure about the garden art. I thought in the backgound it might be a garden bench, but then it could be a building. LOL I get to send to Shirley..YIPPPPI. Remy, I knew you knew I was laughing,and I know you were just kidding. Also, like Susie mentioned I would be happy to help out too with sending. Mellen, Are you sad that school has ended for the year? I remember my son cried when he couldn't stay in kindergarden another year. His teacher was just awesome, and yes, she still teaches. They watched Monarch Metamorphosis and of course watched baby ducks and chickens hatch. I think she is thinking of retiring in the next year; I know she will be missed. Laura, that joke was so cute I've copied it down. Susie, I'm glad the plants arrived. The Elegans does best in some good shade and it will really bring the blue out. I didn't get everything dug that I wanted to, but there is always another time. When I got off work this morning it stormed, and rained so hard I had to pull over as I couldn't see anything in front of me. I called DH to see how bad it stormed there and he said the iris really took a beating. I'm hoping not too bad because I've missed what all bloomed since last Friday. Time for Bed! |

Marie, Your patio is beautiful! What work! I want to do something similar in the back. How long did it take you? My guess for the grass.. Pink paint brush grass, I wanted to order some from Park seeds and never had the chance! And I think the garden art is a football! My kids have plenty of those laying around! ;) Deb |
Sorry to be away so long guys...trying to close out a school year. The grass has been guessed...Ruby Grass. Jeanne had an advantage in that I already sent her some (I think). Any Shirley is onto the other thing although it is not made of wood and not something you would normally consider garden art. If you can look closely at it, I think someone will guess what it is. Theresa |
Thanks for all the 'atta girls' on my floor! and thoughts for my poor little froggy :) Deb, |
LOL! I thought the "garden art" was the white object in the background. I thought the brown thing up front on the ground was was just a border! I'll guess it is a centipede : ) Marie, Shirley, Mellen and Theresa, |
Ah, yes. But it is the brown thing to the LEFT of the Ruby grass. Way in the back is a shed that is not a part of the garden. -T |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Tue, Jun 3, 08 at 22:42
I have never seen Ruby grass other than the "sheered" one that you sent me, Theresa, or I would have gotten that one sooner. LOL Anther try at the "art" (which I don't have any idea what is there) - how about a plant marker with the name of the plant or one of those little garden signs that stick in the ground with a cute saying or picture on it? I think after this guess I will give up. Jeanne |
Hmmmm......it's not a basket or foot ball is it? Carol, supposedley we don't get much rain at all here in the summer. But, we have just broken a record for the most consecutive days of rain in like 7yrs! Vic |
Okay, both answers have been said but not together. First person to say them both at the same time is the winner. So, Remy you are keeping mellen? |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jun 4, 08 at 15:34
Ruby grass & football? Deb |
or is it ruby grass and basketball? Vic |
- Posted by earthlydelights Z6 PA (My Page) on Wed, Jun 4, 08 at 17:56
hi everyone. we are having some rather nice rain, light constant and sometimes misting then other times strong and powerful...we're under a tornado watch. so what else is new with this weather this year, it's absolutely nuts no matter what geographic area. are we talking about the brown things to the right of the grass whihc look like upside down shoes/boots, or the brownish fat looking pot hidden on the left? laura - the joke is too funny. i copied it as well. i can vouch for gary cooking. he cooked for us when we visited and pretty much waited on us hand and foot. GOOD MAN! my iris are done well, i had some good news - there are two girls (sisters) that might be coming my way. i've had several calls about them, but seeing will be believing. as long as this process has taken, this is so quick! i have one more part of my study to complete and if everything lines up, i could be a new mom soon ;-) of course, i guess they'd have to meet me and see if i was worthy! i need to get a bigger house. well, i'm off to dinner, hope everyone has a great night. maryanne |

Basket/Ruby Grass? Laura---I'm so proud...I found you an antique watering can. Will post a picture tonight. Shirley |
Theresa, Lol, I couldn't even tell there was anything to the left of the grass! Yes, I'm sending to Mellen. She said she'd take me again : ) Maryanne, Talk to you all later, |

Theresa, I guess I didn't know that you were a teacher! Teachers like nurses are so important in our lives, both don't get the credit they deserve. I must be blind, I can't see anyting left of the grass. I'm curious to know what it is. Maryanne, I'm so happy for you! How exciting. I'm ready for this week to end to see what iris are left blooming with all the wind and rain we've been getting. I need a cup of coffee. |
Deb wins it! Yeah, the funny thing is that with two boys, I don't have gazing balls in my garden. I always have a large variety of footballs, soccer balls, etc. This particular one is a football. Okay, so Deb, I will send some Ruby Grass although it may not be hardy for you. It may reseed though. So I can also offer you for your northern garden a choice of burgundy Ajuga, Malva Zebrina, or Stokes Aster (Klaus Jelitto). Let me know and I will get it together to send out Monday along with the hand lotion. Theresa |
Deb, I missed the post right before mine where you guessed football earlier :) Yes, mellen, our kids finished up today too. My last day is tomorrow. It's been a tough year. I am switching from 4th grade to 6th grade next year. Sixth graders are tough but not as tough as 4th grade PARENTS! Theresa |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Wed, Jun 4, 08 at 22:16
Oh, Wow...I see it now! It surely is a football. I couldn't see anything before, that's why I didn't even venture a guess! LOL I still need Anita's address. I am hoping that I can get up enough energy to get outside and get her box together sometime over the weekend. I've had a few fainting spells & have been very weak & tired for a few weeks. Turns out I'm severly anemic, so I've been put on all kinds of iron supplements. Ugh! I hope everyone has a great week! Melissa |
Well Melissa! There you are. I knew you would be in sooner or later. When you first started talking about being weak and tired I thought you were going to say you were pregnant! I hope you start feeling better soon! That can be horrible, I went through it last winter it was all I could do to go to work and then make dinner for my son when I got home. I was just completely exhausted all the time. Take those "horse pills" and get some rest, you'll start feeling better! Vic |

I already have a spot for the Ruby grass picked out! Thank you so much Theresa! I thought it was a football! |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Thu, Jun 5, 08 at 0:32
Um...Vic?....Funny you should say that....I AM pregnant! LOL :O) #6 is on the way! And it's a GIRL! :O) |
WOW!! I have missed a lot!! I knew you had 5 already, that's why it crossed my mind! I always figured that's where the "bunny" came from in your GW name! LOL CONGRATS!!! When are you due? Vic |

Susie, You adopted 2 baby birds today! ;) I know they are fuzzy and messy! Deb |
Susie, was it 3 baby bunnies?? Marie, Love the Gazebo!! I had a rainbow the other day too, my 3yr old son spotted it, he was soooo excited! Vic |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Thu, Jun 5, 08 at 20:30
Melissa, I hope you are starting to feel better. No wonder you were low on energy! Susie, I suspect they are baby birds and good luck with them. I'll bet they will keep you busy. Theresa, I could see the football once it was pointed out that it was to the left of the grass and once it was guessed, but it sure was hard to spot in that picture. You had a good contest going on! Marie, you work too hard and make the rest of us look bad. LOL (Sorry...I'm teasing!) Hope everyone else is doing well. Wish we could distribute the rain better. Way too much in some places and too little here and I think we hit over 100 degrees today. Haven't heard the official word. Jeanne |
- Posted by skohler 5 (email@example.com) on Fri, Jun 6, 08 at 6:40
In the bird family guess you can say but not bird birds :))) they love the water :) well i will check back at noon or later got to get out side this am before the storms come in . chat later susie |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Fri, Jun 6, 08 at 9:33
Okay, Susie, I guess ducks - ducklings! Jeanne |
Was it 3 ducklings?? Vic |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Jun 6, 08 at 13:24
2 baby ducklings would of been my first guess (Jeanne guessed it already). So, I'm going with 2 baby geese! Geese can be so mean! When I was little, our neighbor had a goose named GOOSMA and that goose used to chase me every day when I came home from school and nip me on the behind! I would scream and run and it loved it! It would also sneak over and poop on my parent's steps and my Dad would cringe and try to clean up purple stuff that stained horribly! Childhood memories, ahhh.. LOL! |
- Posted by skohler 5 (email@example.com) on Fri, Jun 6, 08 at 18:49
jeanne has part of it right :)) but no one has guessed how many yet :))) these are " MUSCOVY DUCKLINGS" so whom ever guesses how many will WIN :)) WOW WHAT STORMS we had for the last 2 1/2 Hrs & more coming in later tonight just many trees came down around our area but no big damage . I will try to check back in later about 9pm if I can . I have to take this time to sit back & get rested for the long day tomorrow . have a great evening & keep guessing :) |
Susie, I'm glad you didn't get any big damage from the storms! Sorry about your trees! I'm going to say 9 baby ducks! And I think I have a good idea for the next contest!! Vic |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (email@example.com) on Fri, Jun 6, 08 at 21:20
Susie, I'm going to guess 4 baby ducks! Deb |
- Posted by skohler 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Jun 7, 08 at 5:44

Good plan, Vic. I will guess 8 "MUSCOVY DUCKLINGS" Jeanne |

Hi All, What a couple of days! It was hot and we had our garage sale today. I spent all day yesterday getting ready, so I'm worn out, but all wound up. My arms got a bit of a burn today. I didn't realize how much sun I was getting this morn. People are cheap! I was offering really good prices(like a brand new purse for $2) and they were still being picky, lol. Well, at least not with the plants. I was offering $1 for small pots and $3 for large, and no one tried to bargain, they just paid. Oh and I got a nice compliment when a lady buying plants said to her husband about how much nicer my garden looked than hers. Susie, Deb, |
Susie, Your babies are adorable? What happened to the mom? Do you know? Remy, Vic |
- Posted by skohler 5 (email@example.com) on Sun, Jun 8, 08 at 7:08
vic Nothing happened to the mom the lady I got them from raises them & Ducklings Unlike Birds can eat on their own as soon as they are hatched . just like baby chicks . OK So As for the swap Not as Many showed as said they were going to be there Mostly Unpredictiable weather BUT IT WAS WONDERFUL . & Gas prices but I think many thought it was going to be hot & muggy when in fact we were in the shade & the wind came up a few times :( there was proble 10 of the DG & GW members & then Small Group but I will just say this :) I was not at all disappointed these guy's & gal's were really & trully We had a wonderful picnic lunch together with great food. As for pictures I forgot my cam but wigglypaw Had her's & so as soon as she sends them to me I will send you the link for them . Got a big mess out on the deck had another heavy rain & high winds last night many of my plants got dumped over so I have much to clean up & get my new plants in the ground :) Have a great day Shirley & Marie I will try to work on your boxes today & get them out tomorrow :) susie |
Susie, I'm glad you had a good day at the swap, I've never been to one and hope I can find one in my area (well, maybe for next yr when I can take some things with me to swap LOL) I think it would be fun to meet some GW ppl in person! We had my son's 3rd b-day party today! He just loved it, I think he thought it was Christmas again! Have a nice day/night everyone! Vic |
HI everyone. Sorry to be away awhile. I had some family up from Alabama and they stayed a bit longer than expected. They were scheduled to leave Thursday but then they stayed a few extra days. Ahhh. Tomorrow my bestest girl-friend is coming up from Peoria for the night. She is originally from MI. But then moved out of state when she got married. I am so excited to see her, as well as we are going to see Sex and the City which we both swore we wouldn't see without each other. When we were in under-grad school we would always get together to watch it and then laugh til we almost peed our pants at how silly their lives were. So needless to say I am very excited to see it. Shirley~ Please email me and tell me how much for postage and what I owe you for that AWESOME watering can. I can't believe you found one. While my family was in town we went to two estate sales and a gizillion garage sales and I wasn't very lucky at finding anything good. But my Uncle (he's a spry 80) found a ton. It was great we had a nice time. The weather here has been awful. We had huge thunderstorms and high winds the last two days. Our neighbors tree fell (near my pumpkins, thank goodness it was a miss). For those of you who don't know, my dad and I get into a friendly family match to see who can grow the biggest pumpkin. We buy the seeds from Don Lavengine (sp) and pay a small fortune for about 5 seeds per pack. So this year I assumed it ws going to be a warm summer like last year (early). So I started the seeds the end April, they were up adn 6 leaves by Mother's day, gave themto my dad and I kept one well the very next night FROST!!! So I started a second set, gave them to him and then RABBITS! AHHH so then I had to revert to desp. measures, I had to pull some of my Atlantic Dill seeds from my previous pumpkins. So needless to say we have three heavy hitters (they were over 1000 lbs) and the rest are Atlantic Dill seeds. Even though I am of course rooting for myself, I told my father I would give him my full bin of rotted compost to get him going. My pumpkins don't get as much light as his and even though my last years guy was big (275) he beat me with all his sunlight with a whopping 400 pounder. So this year our goal for his place is to get a 600 pounder so Max can fit into it. I know we can do it, I hope. I am hoping that my composted leaves from last fall and all the grass clippings will get him up in that range. Besides the fact that as the pumpkins (1 per vine) mature they take 155 gal. of water per plant per day!! Isn't that insane. Well off my pumpkin soap box. I can't wait to see what you all do with your gardens. This year I have swore to improve my front bed, but I am just not sure what the heck it needs. I think I am going to try to get some Monarda off the plant exchange and try to go from light pink to red and scarlet and make it kinda progressive. Then look for something in a cool bright yellow color just to throw it all out of whack. Well I guess I have kept you all long enough. I hope you are all well and that your gardens are growing well. PS. Remy did everything take? Laura |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Sun, Jun 8, 08 at 23:56
Hi Girls! I hope everyone has had a great weekend. Boy, I wish I was Remy's neighbor!! Wow, I'd love to take advantage of your yardsale plants. :O) Laura....don't feel too badly about the pumpkins....I keep forgetting to plant mine! My 4 year old reminds me every day, though...so maybe better late than never, as far as she's concerned! LOL The girl planted green beans in the drive way, though. So now, she has traffic cones around her seedlings, mapping where we can drive & where we can't. WHY she planted them there, I have NO idea. :O) I'm s-l-o-w-l-y getting Anita's box together. I will have it out sometime this week, I hope to dig the plants tomorrow. Well, I'll probably point my 11 year old in the general direction of the plants, tell him which ones to dig and let HIM do the work. LOL He's a good kid, he loves helping me out & gardening to boot! :O) I'm *very* slowly getting some energy back. I was able to walk around in the yard for a few minutes today. It left me weak and feeling like I'd run a 20 mile marathon....but I at least got to see the flowers that have opened up this week & take a few pictures. Have a good Monday, everyone! |
Hi All, Sometimes men can be such babies! Gary tried to back out of doing the garage sale on Sunday by himself. I had to go to work. "I don't know how much anything is,""I don't know about the plants," etc. Geesh! You make up prices, and I wrote info on the plant tags. If someone needs more info, they can call me or stop by again, lol. Anyway, he survived just fine, and sold plants without me, lol. Susie, Vic, Laura, Melissa, My roses are starting to bloom, and I posted on Antique Rose Gallery this morning, but I know most of you don't venture there so the link is below. |

OH! Remy! Forget the plants! LOL I just want to take a stroll through your yard! Those roses are gorgeous! I am in LOVE with Marchesa Boccella! Wow, that one is beautiful. You have a definite way with roses. :O) Melissa |
Oops. Posted to the wrong thread. I meant to post here: Gorgeous blooms Remy. Thanks for sharing. Okay. New contest related to cleaning products (since we're getting so dirty :) Theresa |

Sheesh, I've not been able to get on to GW at all over the week-end. We've had storms and it has rained since I came home Friday. I'm going to say Lysol. I was going to post a game when I came home Friday but I couldn't due to the fact I could not get on here. Can I still post it while another game is going? I don't want to step on any toes. Shirley, I'm going get you box dug this week both the swap and our trade, and they will be coming in two different boxes. I'm sure I don't have a box to fit all of it into one. Susie, your new babies are cute, cute, cute! post more pics as they grow. LMK about posting another game please. |
- Posted by raggedyann161420 z5Illinois (email@example.com) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 12:41
Wow Laura! 155 gals water daily for each plant! My water bill would be over and beyond. Good luck with your adventure. LIFE IS GOOD, |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 13:09
Cleaning product guess - Mr. Clean. Remy, your roses are gorgeous! Melissa, I hope you feel lots better really soon. Being so tired has got to be rough. Susie, sounds like fun at the plant swap. We had two that I know of in SC but they were several years ago. I hope sometime someone puts together another one. Jeanne |

Posting this for Susie, She called me on her cell, she is going to be without power for a few days & wanted Shirley & wynative to know she has to wait till power is back on at the PO to ship, Please keep her in our prayers as they are having bad storms. Melissa, Remy, |
- Posted by skohler 5 (email@example.com) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 19:04
Hi ladies HEHEHEHE Our power is back I think they heard me cussing them ::)) we got it back about an hour ago & don't know how long it will be back on our whole town was shut down since 7pm last night :( they said it would be late tuesday or noon weds before they would be back on so we really got lucky . for there are still many without power. I hate being without the computer . anyway To shirly & marie I did not dig your plants today for our post office was closed & I was busy tring to clean out 200 lbs of beef from my freezers over to my sisters place where they had power , now I hope we get it all back :)) I will do my best to get the boxes out soon . thank you anita & I will post as soon as I have the boxes ready to go out . marie it would really help to know how big of an area you are redoing & type of plants you might like to put in it so if you could email me it will help me much :) susie |
Susie, I know what that's like. A couple years ago we lost power for a week TWICE in a month due to hurricanes. Not only was it HOT but we lost all our fridge and freezer contents TWICE! That gets expensive. You take care up there. No, not lysol or pine sol. Deb, your package went out today priority. I will post DC tomorrow when I have it handy. Theresa |
- Posted by raggedyann161420 z5Illinois (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 21:06
Theresa, how about vinegar water and newspaper for doing windows? I still use it. Susie, I'm glad to hear you got your power back! So many bad storms this spring. Bunny, I'm glad you are feeling better. LIFE IS GOOD, |
Theresa, This is a tough question. I'm drawing a blank when it comes to a cleaning product with a unique scent. I'm going to guess Murphy's Oil Soap. Susie, Anita, Mellen, Annie, Melissa, |
Hmm...never heard about vinegar water and newspaper. So the newspaper becomes the cloth? Please, northerners, send some of that rain down here. -T |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 22:22
Wow, this is difficult. LOL How about Clorox Bleach? Certainly nothing smells like that! :O) |
Remy, Those are Beautiful!!!! I'll have to put them on my list of what to get when I come visit! Theresa, Vic |
not bleach but it is a liquid. :) |
- Posted by skohler 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Jun 10, 08 at 9:31
well my guesses would be 20 MULE TEAM BORAX'S OR ARM & HAMMER :) GOING TO WORK ON THE BOXES TODAY :) |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 08 at 9:37
I will guess Ammonia. Jeanne |
no correct answer yet. Hmmm....how can I give a hint? They had quite a catchy jingle that was in there TV ads that played pretty frequently for awhile in the 80's. keep guessing! |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 08 at 16:57
I tried Mr. Clean several posts back... okay - only other jingle I can think of is Spick and Span. Jeanne |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 08 at 18:09
Ok, I was thinking...I like LIQUID when I clean...so then I thought, well....Seagram's wine coolers had a neat commercial back in the day! (with Bruce Willis....growl! ) LOL Hmmm...but then, that's probably not what liquid ya'll used, huh? :O) Does anyone remember the Tollhouse morsel commercial? (don't eat all the morsels or your cookie will be bald...UGH!!) LOL Maybe Scrubbing Bubbles, then? Does that count as a liquid? :O) |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose z7B-8A SC (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 08 at 19:21
My last guess... I kept trying to think of TV jingles. Is it Lestoil? Jeanne |
- Posted by veeja11 z7Wa (email@example.com) on Tue, Jun 10, 08 at 22:14
mr clean gets rid of grease and grime in just a minute, but that has been guessed already, guess I didn't clean in the 80's.

Is it Spic n Span? Minnie Pearl did a commerical in the 80's for Spic n Span. Marie-Love those irises. Susie, Carol, and Mellen-Boxes are headed your way. Still need to send Gale's and Laura's and I will be caught up. YEAH. Gale- I e-mailed you asking for your address...hope you got the e-mail. Shirley |

How about tidy bowl, toilet bowl cleaner? I'm going to start digging Shirley's plants today. I believe I have a few things she does not already have. :O) :O) I also want to put up a game, and I know it the other game has not been guessed but would like do it before I have to return to work on Friday night. THERESA I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND HOW MANY YEARS HAVE I WORKED NIGHTS? I'VE GOT A TALL BEARDED IRIS "JILTED" UP FOR GRABS. Outside is calling my name. LIFE IS GOOD, |

I storms did the iris in, but this link will show you what it looks like |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.iriscitygardens.com/images/tallbearded/jilted.jpg
Lol, about all the guesses. I can't think of a catchy jingle except now I have Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean running through my head! I don't remember a jingle, but I'll guess Formula 409. Or how bout Comet? Comet, it makes your teeth turn green. Comet, it makes your mother scream. Comet, it'll make you vomit. So try some comet and vomit today! Lol, memories from the school bus : ) Carol, Annie, |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Wed, Jun 11, 08 at 9:31
Annie - I will guess 13 - my daughter age :) Beautiful Iris! |
Okay, the jingle starts like this.... "I've been using...." -T |
Also, the company says it is over 100 years old. -T |
Carol, no I did not send one to Shirley. Susie sent me one and I filled it out and sent it back to her last month. Melissa, Thanks for the diet tip of the day!! At least that would be one diet I could stick too! Vic |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Wed, Jun 11, 08 at 13:12
Anita's box is going out today, DC# 03061070000429753386 It's not much, but I do hope you enjoy it Anita! :O) |
- Posted by raggedyann161420 z5Illinois (email@example.com) on Wed, Jun 11, 08 at 13:16
Theresa, how about Stanley degreaser? Hmm or was it fuller brush? Mom used to always use degreaser, she also always told me grease would take out grease. I remember her putting lard on my brother's shirts when he was working on the cars. This would get the oil stains out. Ladies, for my contest, the number of years are too low. Try again. Back out to dig like a gopher. |

T~ What about Fantastik or Vanish? I honestly cannot think of any other cleaners! Maybe that tells you just how much I DON'T clean? :O) |
Melissa, how much YOU don't clean.......notice I haven't even taken a guess! LOL BTW, I never did find out when you are due!! Vic |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Wed, Jun 11, 08 at 15:28
The baby will be here between Thanksgiving & Christmas. LOL That's how much we've narrowed it down! Seriously, the new date is November 25th, but my last 3 have all been 2-3 weeks overdue, so I honestly don't expect this one until mid-December. We had an original due date of December 15th, but that isn't lining up with how big I'm measuring, the baby's length..etc. So, we think that back at the first of March when I had the miscariage, that it was possibly twins...and I only lost one. My midwife says that there is no way to know for sure (I refuse any invasive tests beyond ultrasound), so we'll just see when this one decides to pop out. If it's earlier, then we know. The only thing we know for sure is that it doesn't have a winkie. LOL It'll be my luck that I'll carry PAST Christmas....I seem to have the gestation period of an elephant. UGH. LOL Okay...was that TMI?? :O) |
Melissa, Wow, I'm sorry for your miscarriage. I didn't know about that. I'm sure if that is the case about the twin then it will come with mixed emotions for you. And I hope you don't deliver late. My last child came 2 weeks late and only because doc broke water for me. I have a friend that is currently one week past due date. Oh how I empathize with her. It is SO hard. I remember going to an all-you-can-eat mexican place to eat a bunch of spicy food thinking that would bring on labor. But all it did was make me throw up all night! YUK! No one has guessed the cleaning product yet. Another hint: the color of this cleaning product is in the yellow/goldish family. Theresa |
- Posted by raggedyann161420 z5Illinois (email@example.com) on Wed, Jun 11, 08 at 17:03
Theresa, how about Scott's Liquid Gold? BUNNY IS THE WINNER Melissa, I will get it out to you tomorrow, and isn't it amazing what our bodies can do and endure? I came in for a break, but I think I got Shirley's box all dug. I will take one last run through the yard to see what else I might add before packing it all up. LIFE IS GOOD, |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Wed, Jun 11, 08 at 17:17
A yellow cleaning product, Theresa? Eeewww. LOL :O) I can't think of one that hasn't already been guessed, and it grosses me out too much to even think about. Brings to mind all the "pee in the cup" episodes I've endured lately. Blech. :O) Annie, Really? Yay! Wow, that was a shot in the dark.

Increased profits for Viking Sewing Machines AB
Sewing machine manufacturer Viking Sewing Machines AB's first quarter sales jumped 67 percent compared with the corresponding period last year. Earnings before financial items rose 27 percent, from SEK 26.8 million to SEK 34.1 million.
"We continued to enjoy strong growth in the USA and have not yet noticed any fall off," said Svante Runnquist, MD for Viking Sewing Machines AB.
Viking Sewing Machines AB's position was strengthened by the acquisition of German sewing machine manufacturer Pfaff last year. The positive trend continued from January to March this year and turnover rose strongly.
"The Pfaff acquisition along with the integration work associated with the purchase, has gone very well. I am expecting this integration work to produce positive results as early as this year," added Svante Runnquist.
This quarter also saw the European premiere of the computerised sewing machine the Designer II, that can be tailored to customer requirements. The launch attracted a great deal of interest.

> Will Bermuda Allow Cruise Ships to Leave Casinos Open in Port?
Date Published: January 12, 2012

Will Bermuda Allow Cruise Ships to Leave Casinos Open in Port?
(3:45 p.m. EST) -- With cruise calls
down significantly in 2012
tourism officials are putting everything on the table to entice ships back.
That includes allowing onboard casinos to stay open while ships are in port.
According to Bermuda's
Royal Gazette Online
, the issue surfaced following Transport Minister Derrick Burgess's public comments that, during recent meetings in Miami, cruise line executives cited onboard revenue as a reason for the exodus.
In general, lines that visit Bermuda visit only Bermuda, often settling in for three or four consecutive days. Onboard casinos and shops must remain closed while ships are in port, and "this has a huge effect on onboard revenue," said Burgess.
In November, MP Mark Pettingill told the
Bermuda Sun
that the dearth in gaming options was a "major factor that would have contributed to the loss of
Carnival Pride
in 2012 and
in 2013."
Burgess proposed that allowing the cruise ship casinos to stay open between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. might persuade some ships to come a day earlier or leave a day later. He suggested that the late-night hours would have less of an impact on cruisers' onshore spending habits, reported the Gazette. A similar plan to Burgess's was rejected by MPs in July 2009, when they voted down a cruise ship gaming bill, 18 to 11.
The onboard vs. onshore casino rules may be at the crux of the debate -- i.e. Bermuda may want more of a cut of the action. "Allowing cruise ships to open casinos while docked in Bermuda may not be supported by the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce, unless gaming is allowed onshore as well," reported a
second Gazette story
that raised doubts about a cruise ship-only casino proposal. Bermuda has restrictive gaming laws, which include a prohibition against casinos. "The Chamber is consulting its members by way of an online survey, and so far, the majority of its main contacts are saying that they prefer opening up the whole island to gaming."
But would new rules actually convince cruise lines to return? "[New gaming rules] would certainly be a benefit, but it wouldn't be a deciding factor," said
USA's President and CEO Rick Sasso in an interview with Cruise Critic. "We put all of that in our models factoring the financial feasibility of a port visit. [A new casino policy] would certainly be better than not, but it's not a reason to change your itinerary planning and include Bermuda."
"The casino is considered by many guests to be another entertainment option and it is sometimes a guest 'dissatisfier' when we can't open the casino at night (as we typically do on cruises to multiple destinations)," said
Norwegian Cruise Line
spokeswoman AnneMarie Mathews in an e-mail. "We feel that a more liberal casino policy in Bermuda would also enhance the island's appeal to more cruisers and thus increase demand for Bermuda cruises."
"We currently have our newest ship,
Norwegian Breakaway
, scheduled to call in Bermuda for her first summer season in 2013. We have not yet announced subsequent plans for the ship, but would be encouraged by Bermuda's decision to allow casinos to stay open while in port," she added.
It's almost unheard of for ports to allow onboard casinos to stay open while ships are docked, but Bermuda would not be alone if it decided to relax its onboard gaming policies. Mathews tells Cruise Critic that Nassau allows lines to open their casinos in port by agreement. Cruise Critic left a phone message with Nassau's Tourist Board requesting additional info.

A major business port aimed at Chinese and Asian companies has been announced for London's Royal Albert Dock. Backed by Mayor of London Boris Johnson, the £1bn will transform a 35 acre site in the Royal Docks Enterprise Zone owned by the Greater London Authority.
Headed by developers Stanhope and ABP, the development is estimated to create 20,000 full-time jobs and boost local employment in Newham by 30%. It is thought that the scheme will be worth £6bn to the UK economy when complete. Architects and masterplanners on the development are Farrells.
Office space within the development has already received strong interest from Chinese businesses and the first companies are due to move into the space in 2017. ABP have made a commitment to complete at least 600,000 sq ft in the first phase.
Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "For centuries the waterways of east London were the throbbing arteries of UK trade and commerce. This deal symbolises the revival of that great era, continuing the re-invention of this once maligned part of the capital into a 21st century centre of trade and investment.
"Creating a third financial district in the capital, this development will act as a beacon for eastern investors looking west, bringing with it tens of thousands of jobs and billions of pounds of investment for the UK economy."

Association Between Behavioral Features and Gastrointestinal Problems Among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
The study used data from a population-based sample of 487 children with ASD to evaluate the feasibility of an Autism Forum panel's recommendation that certain behaviors could help clinicians predict which children with ASD need to be evaluated for possible GI problems. They found that some behaviors were significantly associated with GI problems, but these behaviors were also very common in children with ASD who do not have medically documented GI problems. Nearly 99% of all children in the sample exhibited at least 1 of the behaviors. Therefore, as screening items, these behaviors offered very little in terms of positive predictive value for identifying GI problems.

Kudos to Perez Hilton for noticing that Lo Bosworth seems to have copycatted her "Hills" finale party look from a look on Forever 21′s website. It's clear the items she's wearing aren't from Forever 21, but the resemblance is nearly exact. However, unlike Perez, I'm not gonna hate on Lo. The Frisky has always had an appreciation for the 21, and thinks it's high time those rich Laguna bitches did too!

This summary of a Cochrane review presents what we know from research about the effect of Corticosteroid injections for de Quervain's tenosynovitis.
This review shows that in people with de Quervain's tenosynovitis,
We are uncertain whether Corticosteroid injections reduces pain because of the very low quality of the evidence.
What is de Quervain's tenosynovitis and what are corticosteroid injections?
De Quervain's tenosynovitis occurs when the tendon in your thumb and wrist becomes inflammed, painful and difficult to move. A tendon is the part of your body that connects your muscles to your bones. People with de Quervain's tenosynovitis have pain, tenderness, and swelling at the base of the thumb, especially when moving their wrist from side to side.
Corticosteroid injections are shots with a needle into a joint (such as your wrist) or a tendon. Corticosteroids may work by reducing the inflammation of your wrist or thumb. The injection itself might also help to relieve the pressure on the tendon.

Dec 12xApp Studio App Builder
For a recent project (Thai Quiz) i decided to use a new mobile app studio on the market – xApp Studio (http://xapp-studio.com). Still in the early stage as it seems but never the less seemingly more customizable than any other app builder i have seen so far (like shoutem e.g.). The app was designed to be only a web app where as xApp also can do hybrid and native apps. My biggest concern was how to get my data connected and how to customize design and the quiz logic. After getting in contact with the developer there were kindly enough to help me out on understanding how to work with custom js code (incl. js debugger!) to extend my mobile web apps logic. The documentation is still in the making so i was very fortunate to be guided through the project by the developer. Once understanding how to implement my custom logic the rest was fairly easy.

Herndon worked until 11 p.m. the night before on the pumpkin pie costume, made of foam core, cardboard, spray foam insulation and paint. "Have you seen the fork in the road," Herndon said, joking with other participants.

10 Surprising Qualities And Uses Of Peanut Butter
Happy National Peanut Butter Day! These ten tips and tricks will have you loving the sticky snack more than ever.
The 411: Settled by Huguenots from La Rochelle, France, in 1688, New Rochelle is the second largest city in Westchester, and the seventh largest in New York State. New Rochelle, nicknamed Queen City of the Sound for its 2.7 miles of Long Island Sound shoreline, is just two miles from the Bronx border and 25 miles from downtown Manhattan. The densely developed former industrial downtown consists of condominiums, high-rises, offices, shopping centers, affordable housing complexes, a medical center, nursing homes, and two college campuses (including the largest Catholic women's college in the U.S.). The remainder of the city consists of sprawling, residential neighborhoods and country, yacht, and beach clubs. The city operates a 300-slip marina with 150 moorings. Points of interest include the Thomas Paine Historical Site, Execution Rocks Lighthouse, Huckleberry Island, Leland Castle, a 19th-century Gothic Revival castle, the 105-acre Glen Island Park, 60-acre park Sheldrake Lake, the Wykagyl Country Club, and New Roc City, an entertainment complex that features a 19-screen movie theater, an IMAX theater, an ice hockey arena, mini-golf, go-karts, and an arcade. The city has been referenced/showcased repeatedly in myriad media including The Dick Van Dyke Show, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), Goodfellas, Michael Clayton, Burn After Reading, Guys and Dolls, Ragtime, and Starting Over.

A popular and very beautiful addition to your outdoor decor, is the arbor. While they are often crafted in wood, the metal ones are generally more durable and less likely to be damaged by weather extremes or the constant overgrowth of plants.
Arbors are a somewhat truncated version of the pergola, which was originally a Latin word that mean "projecting eave". Pergolas are a long, covered walkway, which is built of narrow laths and open spaces that are eventually covered by whatever vines or plants are trained to grow up the sides and over the top. The arbors of today are strictly a decorative touch that can be placed like a gateway at the top of a garden, start of a path, or anywhere at all on the lawn. Depending on your growing season and soil, you can train clematis, morning glories, roses and bougainvillea to cover it in a glorious blanket of flowers. Passing underneath it is a treat, but so is sitting on a bench placed inside!
Trellises are also very popular for helping to brighten up your home with the help of ivy or climbing plants that bloom. These too are frequently made of wood, and also vinyl, but you may find that wrought iron or other metal is more durable, particularly if you plan to leave it outside year round. If you're creating an antique garden party setting with arbors and fountains, you might like to choose a trellis that matches the arbor.
