UPDATE: Houseplants/Tropicals/Annuals - 1 more day to sign up!!
The swap details...
The theme for this month's swap will be Houseplants/Tropicals/Annuals!! These may be in the form of plants, cuttings, bulbs, tubers. (Keep in mind that some people's perennials may be considered annuals/tropicals to us northern folk. :-)
Also as a part of this swap, I would really like to encourage all of the members out there who haven't tried trading plants yet because they are too nervous or worried to try it. I am in a swap this month where we were all asked when we joined Garden Web and how we found the Round Robin forum. Almost everyone said that they started out on GW just reading the forums and then started trading with seeds. Mostly everyone waited a looooong time to start trading plants because they were too scared to try it. We have all been there, but there's no better time than the present to jump in and try it out. It's easier than you think, trust us!! We will help you out and answer any questions you may have about how to package everything and how to send it. You get a lot of great plants for cheap, and you will also get to meet some great people here!! I for one waited a year before I started trading plants. I was convinced that I would do it all wrong, the plants would all be DOA, and everyone would end up hating me! LOL So as a part of this swap, I will try to include some tips of the new traders along with other activities to keep this fun.
The fine print...
1. Sign up and post lists between now and June 1st.
2. Include a list of the plants that you want AND a list of the plants that you have to trade for this swap. You could also refer to your lists on your trade page if those are up to date. I WILL be using these lists to match partners so please make sure you include your most up to date lists. For this swap, I would like to limit it to sending plants only. (But, of course, you and your partner can agree to send whatever you want to each other...but you both have to agree on a fair trade).
3. I will post swap partners sometime during the first week of June. Again I WILL try to match partners as best I can based on their trade list provided.
4. All packages need to arrive at their new homes by June 30th. (That means they should leave your house no later than the 27th, by Priority Mail) Please post when you send and receive.
5. and, most importantly....HAVE FUN!!!!

I am looking for begonias that I dont have also..I just made a container in the gh to make new ones from leaves...I hope it works....It is exciting to try something new...I learned they are easy to water root but need high humidity....
Happy June 1st everyone....Our flowers up north will be taking off soon...Barb
Welcome Joyce and retsec, great to have you!!! Check out our last thread for the tips we've already posted and some wonderful pictures to drool over!! :-)
Thanks for the ideas of wants Barb, that's helpful! :-) Good luck with rooting the begonias. I've never tried them in water but they are super easy in my propagation box. (not sure about the tuberous ones though)
I will be posting your next tip in the next day or so.
Hope you're all having a great day, I'm beat and wish I could go home and take a nap!!
I wish I had a job to make money for dirt..LOL :) Waiting for al to call from luch time... Nancy I went and potted her up and placed her in the garden..Your right she does have stickers...LOL Ouch...:) I guess that is why she is called cry baby plant...hahahhah Man I wont quit my day job...Thats right I dont have one.... I need more sleep..:)
Oops, I forgot to mention...For those of you who have recently signed up, we had an activity on our last thread to get to know each other better. It would be great if you could take a few minutes and answer these questions so we can get to know you a bit too. Other participant's answers are on our previous thread and fun to read. (again, here's where I give credit to margaret_2007 from the OBF group for this idea)
1. How long have you been a member of GW?
2. How did you choose your GW user name?
3. When did you discover the Round Robin part of GW after joining?
4. How much trading have you done?
welcome ladies, this a fun swap, hope you enjoy it.. ive been sending pics and for one reason or another it dont work...i tryed again, maybee, well were geting our parteners today???how are you going to go about it..the oldest on garden web?? jeje the oldest in age?? the pertyest?? the shortiest?? gets to choose first .. any way cant wait to find out..yea yea im a 4 year old..i dont work iether, just hang around the house, FEEDING these people that dont stop now that they are out of school. making tacos, chimichangas, tortilla soup, and my friend brought me some posole anyone care to join me??? drop in anytime. norma
Bigmama will you feed me??? I just ate I didnt like it...Tacos yummy....

Amy I hope you get some rest... I remember how tough that is working full time and taking care of the house and the gardens...No rest at all...Now that I remember I dont want to go back to work..hahahhah I have to eventually
Well Back to downloading...:)
Bigmama I downloaded my coleus they are the newest pics...:) I didnt want to do pics it takes too long for the others with dial up....:) Barb
Oh man...I would be over for lunch in a heartbeat too Norma if you were my neighbor. And I finally got your picture to work too. Nice,very nice!
So Amy how long are you going to make us wait for partners HUH,huh,huh.....hhhmmmmmmmm.
I gave up working too so that I could sit around all day or go play in the yard. Actually I had to when my back finally gave out on me and forced me into having surgery and retirement. So I joined the GW to feed my obsession in gardening. I have met and traded with some of the most wonderful people around. With only a few problems, mostly boxes or envelopes being delayed in delivery.Not enough to give up or get discouraged thats for sure.....
Norma, you're making me sooooo hungry, I'll be right over! LOL.
As for partners, I extended the swap out through today. I am working through everyone's lists and I will try to match partners up based on what the haves and wants lists. I am shooting for Wed to get the partner matching done. Sorry to keep you all in suspense. Oh, and I should also mention that once partners are assigned, side swapping is encouraged! (but please make your assigned partner your top priority).
Barb, thanks. I haven't been feeling well all day and if this continues, I am going to call in sick tomorrow. I don't know if the exhaustion is setting in or I'm getting sick. I hope it's just my body telling me to slow down!! :-)
Ok, you've inspired me to share a slideshow of my plants too. This is all of the plants that I have posted on GW so far. It takes a lot of time to get a nice picture and crop them and upload them. I hope to get a bunch more added soon! I also want to get some of my gardens, they are starting to look beautiful and flowers are popping now! But the clouds came in just as I got home, so hopefully I'll get some good ones soon.
Here, try this... http://s427.photobucket.com/albums/pp352/dieg01991/Plants/?albumview=slideshow
Hi everyone, Can hardly wait to get our swap partners name. I joined GW in March 02. I live in Goose Creek, and I am a Mom, so Creekmom. I think it was 3 or 4 years ago that I discovered the Round Robin. I think the birthday of the month swap was the greatest. And I have done quite a bit of trading. Not a whole let lately. There just is not enough time in the day to do everything that I would like. But, I am definitely making the time for this swap. Joyce
Hi Swapers!
I sent each of you an email too but I wanted to post this on the forum...
I wanted to confirm with each of you that you are still planning to participate in this swap. Most of you have been actively posting on the forum, but some haven't been very active. So, before I spend time reviewing everyone's lists and matching up partners, I would like to get confirmation from each of you. You can either email me back or post on this forum. Please respond back to me by this time tomorrow night.
Thanks!! Can't wait for partners, there are some great lists here!!!
I have been a member of Garden Web since July 4, 2007. I am a retired school secretary so that is how I came up with retsec. I guess I discovered the round robin forum right after I joined Garden Web but was always afraid I'd mess up so I wouldn't join any swaps. I finally got in on the Secret Santa Seed Swap this past year. This will be my second round robin. I have 167 trades or for postage exchanges. Looking forward to getting some new plants. My husband always says get something we can eat. I now have 2 rather large green houses he built for me. This past year I rooted loads of plants from what I had and we planted vegetable seeds galore. I had two plant sales, one in the spring and one the weekend before Mother's Day. Also went to two community markets on Saturdays. Did real well. I have really enjoyed being a member of Garden Web and getting loads of different plants that I could not have afforded otherwise.
Amy-Thanks for starting a new thread. I really was having a hard time downloading the old one. Just a suggestion to those of you who want to post your Photobucket Albums. Put the link in the box underneath your post where it says Optional Link URL: then the name of your Album in Name Of The Link: That way anyone can just click on it.
I have a lot more cuttings from perennials I can send I didn't know we were doing those too. Between this swap and the CPG swap I'll be shearing off most of my Sedums.LOL
Dee-I have some of your wants too. cuttings from upright named Sedums, Butterfly Bush 'Pink Delight' (think that's the name), Butterfly Weed 'Hello Yellow' (You can propagate from tip cuttings), Rudbeckia 'Goldstrum' plants and from Winter Sowing Echinacea paradoxa (very small plant). Don't know if we are doing seeds too but I also some some Echinacea seeds left from White Swan, Ruby Giant, DoubleDecker and Magnus. I have to check on that also.
I know I didn't put much down for my want list but I'd love to chat with my partner and I know we could come up with a better list.
I'm posting a link to some of my garden pictures. Many of my plant pictures are on my Exchange page.
This is going to be a fun swap! I'm really looking forward to it.
Here is a link that might be useful: galium 2 pictures
Hello Everyone!
Thanks for all the kind comments on my artwork, I should have mentioned that there are bits of nudity (not porn) and some potentially 'scarey' images incase there were children present. :O
There are some fabulous lists there! I really wish I could participate! But with only a month till I take off I have so much going on right now I am never going to be ready!!!
The 'hot' has officially arrived! The wet weather this spring has been a real blessing to most of the garden, but my native oakleaf hydrangea is suffering from too much of a good thing. It has been looking poorly for about a week, so I dug it up and found the soil sopping wet at 2 foot depth.
Loving all the photos! Marianne I love your sedums! I have so many from you and Michele! I cannot decide which are my faves! I just LOVE Sedums!!!!
I think I have finally convince my best boy that tomatoes CAN be grown from seed! Ny toms are now about a foot+ tall and putting on their first flowers. 8 Plants total cost $2 for seed starting mix $1 for peat pots and $1.20 for Stamps to Wintersown.org for the seeds! $4.20 total. To buy the plants locally (even if you could find the heirloom/OP varieties I planted) would cost $20 - $25! Thats math that appeals to his frugal little self! lol
Barb I ned a second (maybe even a third) job for dirt!!!! The SO just rolls his eyes everytime I tell him MORE PLEASE!!!
Have fun with the swap everyone, wish I could join you. Will stop in and say Hi when I can!
Frances we sure are going to miss you :( We still have a month with you... Buy a laptop so you can share your vacation with us...:)
Amy I loved your slideshow...I have never seen so many houseplants..Now wonder why you are worn out..LOL Poor thing I cant imagine watering all of them...:) Did you take a sick day? Inquiry minds want to know...
Marianne thank you for the tip using PB... I will try that next time....I loved your pics too....
I just love this group...:) Nancy I didnt know you were a retired school secetary... You must have a lot of patience.. That would be a fun job...I like our one here when Natasha was here...(my niece)
It is cold here everybody I built a little fire... This weather Sucks!!! 50.5 Right now...It was 42 when I got up this morning...Our high is only gonna be in the lower 60's...
Frances lol hahha feast or famine...No rain or too much with you and Regina...:)
Regina I am gonna repot those hoyas I think it is the soil..Thank you for the help with them...:)
I still havent planted my four shrubs...I am out of dirt so I will plant today...hmmm maybe.. Have a great everybody...I cant wait to see who everyone's partners are...:) Barb
Barb Barb Barb NO DIRT!!!!!! I have holes all over the yard..... Paul always says How can there be holes? I don't see any piles of dirt lying around and you won't put the yard dirt in flower pots so WHERE DID IT GO???? (I confess I am a little confused about this myself) I compost like a madwoman so I should have EXTRA dirt right? nope..... holes everywhere!!!
Nancy Hello! I think Nancy and I shared some plants (or perhaps she sent me some for postage) when I first started trading at GW! You are going to love this lot Nancy!
I just got home from Lowes, grabbed a couple of bags of (you guessed it) DIRT!!! lol....... and some stain for my Wicker chairs. I guess I best get back to work!
Have a great day everyone!
Hi, everyone!
It's me, Dee, reporting!
I am looking forward to getting a partner.
I am sorry for seemingly disappearing, but like most species of the GEEK persuasion, I can be socially inept. I check this forum at least once a day and LMAO at all of your comments but can't find a thing to say.
Can we do side trades from the other swappers if we see something we can't live without? I hope that is not against the rule because I got my eye on two or more lists. LOL.
Amy, thank you so much for coordinating this swap!
Mariann, thank you for looking at my want list. If you want anything from mine just let me know and I'll send them to you.
Frances, I am "CHEAP" so I like your "growing toms for pennies" idea. I can fill those holes for you. Look at my list and let me know what you want.
Norma, you made me so hungry! I am making chili relleno, yellow rice and nopales as soon as I get off this computer.
Barb, I hope it's warmer where you are today. If only I could bottle this Florida heat!
Nancy, that is great that you are propogating plants and making a few $ with your plant sales. I am thinking... maybe I can thin my pot ghettos by having a yard sale!
Regina, I do treasure people I met here at GW too. I made about 60+ exchanges in plants and seeds so far and only two members stiffed me.
Heather, you're so funny! Droolious...
Joyce, welcome! Your list is droolious! I have some of your wants.
Chell, where are you? Don't tell me you are lurking but not commenting, like me.
chiles rellenos my fav.. nopales con chile colorado??? ho yea... yes ladies keep on posting those pics, i love those vines, wish they would grow like that for me..even a morning glory takes all summer to grow..parners tomorow, maybee..yea chell were is you. norma
Hi ladies, here I am...
yep Dee, I'm guilty!...got caught lurking, LOL. Been too busy to actually post, but I figure I can steal in a minute or two real quick..
Been trying to get DH prepped to leave OTR by 6am tomorrow, he just got a call that the trailer won't be loaded till Thursday...&$%@#, but at least he's packed in advance. School's out in two days and I finally got the Box Tops (I've been coordinator since 2006 at son's school) counted and awards bagged up for the top collecting students, gotta hand those out tomorrow, then had to attend a PTO meeting this afternoon to meet next year's officers. My nephew's baseball team is playing here tonight and we're taking the boys (game don't start till 8pm, so the kids will be up way past bedtime, Urgh!). Still gotta help Josh put gifts together for both of his teachers (something he's done every Christmas and end of year since Pre-K). Thursday morning is Josh's 2nd grade graduation...so hopefully by Thurs. afternoon things will be back to normal. To top it all off, I've developed an allergy to something.... I first got sniffly after cleaning house Saturday (it was neglected, but not THAT dirty!!!, LOL) Then Sunday I played outside in the yard and was sniffling again, by last night my throat was raw and I had chest congestion. I've been dragging all day and feeling blah! I've always been an outdoor person and never had an allergy problem.... Gardeners shouldn't get allergies!!!...and wouldn't ya know there ain't a thing in the medicine cabinet for my symptoms, although Nyquil is starting to look good!LOL.
Barb, we're still getting mild weather here, only upper 70's/low 80's (really mild for Texas in June!). Wierd, hu?!? Hope y'all warm up soon!
Welcome Mariann, Nancy & Joyce, glad to have y'all join us!
Norma, your photos worked this last time. Thanks, I enjoyed the blooms!
Amy, you have a great selection of houseplants!
Frances, sure wish you could join the fun on this one. At least we'll have you around for another month before ya go... I agree with Barb, get a laptop to stay in touch (and so you can send vacation pics!!).
Really lookin' forward to getting a partner!
Gotta go fix supper... y'all have a good evening!
Awe man no partners yet...The supense is killing me... Not really it is just what I made for dinner...:)
Chell you wear me out just reading about your day.. Wow I remember all that..Thank goodness they are raised... Chell the weatherman was wrong..We hit 71 here in late afternoon... I went out and watered and enjoyed the sunlight through the trees..lol We are really shading out know the trees are getting their leaves.... I dont remember it being this shaded last year in the yard...hmmm
Dee I knew it was you who sent me those wonderful gardenias last year...They smelled wonderful this spring in the gh... I just loved them...Thank you once again...Jump in anytime dont be shy with us crazy plant lovers... I found another rare plant today I want... Cant find it anywhere for sale on the web... It blooms just like a brug and is part of the gardenia family.... The name is escaping me as of the moment..
Frances you mean those 200 hundred plants didnt fill them holes yet....lol hahahha Al bought me dirt home...They were sold out of miracle gro..He bought shultz it is so heavy I really dont like using it... I will though beggers cant be choosy..:)
Dee we are big time side swappers cause we know each other and have been swapping for a while... I am not side swapping right now though...Al just went back to work...Money has been tight..... Guess what he is working saturday overtime yahoo yippee..:)
Bigmama what did you cook tonight? Connie my daughter is flying home from phoenix right as I write this..She had a good time out there...
My Tiger eye sumac has suckers...Yahoo I am doing the happy dance... I found two tonight when I was watering....
Well girls have a great evening..Time to watch the hunks on deadliest catch on tv...Somthing about a fisherman..Al is a captain on Lake Michigan...:)
Welcome again Nancy, it's great to have you. I love your story. The greenhouses and plants sales...my dream!! ;-) I figure if I can sell enough plants this summer to start to save up money to buy a greenhouse one of these days. It's not only the cost of buying the greenhouse I worry about, it's the heating bills!! I just wish I had time for more sales!
Mariann, sorry again for not starting a new thread sooner. I have DSL so I didn't even think about it being slow for others. Thanks for the tip on the link too!! I totally thought about that right after I hit the "submit" button. What a great tip!! We can do perennials if your partner is ok with it. I want to make sure that we first focus on the Houseplant/tropical/annual theme though. Seeds are fine too, again, it's whatever you want to swap with your partner ultimately. :-) (although again, you Southern girls...your perennials are our houseplants/tropicals/annuals, LUCKY!!)
Fran, we'll miss you this time, but we understand. It's a very busy time of year for everyone!! Please keep in touch! I am very frugal too. And now that I've been trading here, I find it hard to pay the prices that nurseries want for some of these plants!! If I see something I like, I will add it to my "want" list and wait. :-) I love the GW!!! I hear you about the dirt too, where does it go?? It's so weird. I added another compost bin to my veggie garden this year. Need to make more dirt!! LOL!
Barb, Yes, I did call in sick today and slept most of the day. I feel better now. I hope that I will feel better tomorrow too. Work is so busy, it's hard to miss a day...but oh well. Thanks for the compliment about my plants photos, it is a big job to keep them watered. Especially this time of year, I'm so busy outside that I forget about them. But this year, I decided I'm not going to do any pots with annuals, instead I am going to put out my houseplants and tropicals as accents. My house will seem very empty for the next few months (kinda nice) plus they are much easier to keep watered when they're outside. BTW, how to do you water your plants in your greenhouse. I expect that it's just as big of a job, you can just be sloppier about it. ;-) It's chilly here too. Get this, it's supposed to freeze in Northern MN tonight! (not where I live) How gross is that!?! It's June for goodness sake!!! Anyway, I'm glad I live in the Southern part of the state.
Dee, you're so funny. You say you have nothing to say, but look at that post. Good job! Absolutely you can do side trades. In fact, I encourage it!! Just make sure that you take care of your partner first, that's the top priority. But after that, no limits!
Wow Chell, busy?? I don't know what you're talking about...LOL. You are a busy lady. Are you sure it's allergies and you're not getting sick from being so busy (like me)? I guess I would rather be sick than have allergies. Hope you feel better.
AWESOME pictures everyone...and very inspiring!!!
You ladies are so awesome!!! I got confirmation from everyone almost right away after I sent the email. Such an easy group of swappers!!! Sorry to keep you in suspense (actually, I sorta enjoying it....*evil laugh*) but I will have the partners out tomorrow, I promise!
Now I need to go to bed, talk to you tomorrow!
Ok ladies, I've kept you in suspense long enough. Here's the moment you've all been waiting for....drum roll please....

I really hope that you are all happy with your partners. I went through each persons "want" list and compared it to everyone's "haves" to find the best sender based on the lists.
Remember that after you fulfill your partners wishes, you are free to wheel and deal on side trades!! :-)
Lol how many trades have we had Nancy... I am cracking up... Here we go again sister..:) Yippee yahooo.... Good choice Amy.. :)
Mariann we make a good match I am shade heaven here... I need to go look up your wants again....I think I remember you garden in shade too..:) Oh I could learn so much from you too along with nancy also....
I am glad I came in for lunch...:) Good job Amy... I hope you are feeling better...Hugs
Oh no Barb, I didn't realize that you and Nancy had so many trades together. I'm sorry, I wish I would have had a list of trades too. Hopefully Nancy has enough new stuff to send you. Otherwise we could look at switching it up too. sorry about that!
Oh man Nancy you have been holding out on me...hahahha I just looked at your have list... Whoo hoo I am way too excited now.... I need to go plant a box of iris from our melissa that just came in... Hugs Melissa if you are reading this... I wish you could have stayed with us...I know you have a lot on your plate... :)
Mariann do you like scented geraniums? and scented mints? I am kind of afraid you are a expert when it comes to plants I see.... I am way out of my league with you... shooo Please be gentle hahah oh and I am the gabby one of the group too... No job..:) YET LOL Okay everybody you know me by now... I get gabby when I am excited nobody to talk to in the woods... I really need a job or get out of the house....
Hello, Chell!
I'll be e-mailing you soon (as soon as I organize a list of plants I can send you according to your wish list).
Peruse my list on this thread and my GW trade list to look for some plants you may want then e-mail me.
Amy, AGAIN, thank you!
Woohoo, we got our partners!!!
Dawn, just email me a list once you've picked your wants (including your addy) and I'll get them to you.
Dee, howdy partner!LOL! what an extensive list!
Thanks Amy for not making us wait any longer!
...now let the fun begin!!!....
WOW-I'm so far behind on all the posts. Don't know where to start.LOL
Amy-thanks for my partner's.. I know we'll have a lot to share.
Barb-Through trial and error over the years I have to admit that I garden in the shade! I do have some sun but very little. I grow daylilies and Irises though and some sun plants. Unfortunately some get a little leggy reaching for the sun. As for being an expert....I learn new things every day. Plus Horticulture is a big field and I'm just a little posy.LOL I do like mints although I can't grow many because of sun problem. Love coleus and Begonias! Whatever you have I know I'll be happy with.
Frances-I don't know how I ended up with so many Sedums. The low growing ones are fine for me but the taller ones get to tall because of all the shade. I have a bed in my veggie garden full of Sedum cuttings from last year.
I wish I had DSL! We only have one provider here and they are sooooo expensive. I just have to make do with dial up.
I'll pop back in tomorrow-have a good evening
Is this a group? I thought crazy plant lovers taking all other plant lovers....No stupid membership (rules) required in my eyes....It reminds me of the High life commercials and the gate are you accepted as a special person..???
IMO the best thing is to give.... Not everyone is fortunate to have what we have... Sometimes we forget what we have... I am good for that....
I feel sorry for the newbies sometimes who wants a garden for their families and has no money....I started this way... GW members who helped me out... I have all their treasured conversations and plants saved. I walk out in the gardens and can tell al who it is from and if I talked with them lately and about their family and what part of the Unied States they are from...
It really is not about the plants sometimes we get wrapped up in them...Me included! But about friendship and family...GW family rocks...:)))) and no I am not being gabby just from my heart.....Barb
Well we had a bear in last night we think... It destroyed our bird feeders and bent the heavy pole right over... My cat is mia...I have been out in the woods looking for him... Mariann I will get a list together of some shade plants I can add in and email you later on.... This is truly cabin life lol... Have a good day everybody....
Whew!! What a morning!! DH left for Arkansas to pick up the truck and start his new OTR job just as the boys and I left for school. Josh's 2nd grade graduation went well...he looked so handsome in his shirt & tie! We got lots of video & photos of him with his teachers & friends, and a photo of him & Logan in front of the school (Logan will be starting school there next year). When we arrived back home Logan asked 'Where's Daddy?' (nearly broke my heart!)..it had only been three hours since DH left and it already feels like he's been gone a lot longer (he may not come home for nearly a month this first time out)!!! Oh well, we've been through this before and will just have to re-adjust again...at least we've had him home for a whole month between jobs, and it is a relief that he's working again (still waiting for my money plant to bloom though, LOL!)
Barb, sorry about your 'visitor'....I hope your kitty returns home soon, I'm sure he was just frightened and is hiding until he knows the coast is clear of that bear (or giant mutant squirrel?) that raided the bird feeders. Maybe the intruder left disappointed and won't return again.
I agree on the 'not a group' issue...no membership required -Yeah! (I'm a paid member of a Garden Club and the only worthwhile part of it is the friends I've made on the forums!) If our circle of friends had a name though it'd have to be something like 'Crazy Tropical Friends' because many of us don't even live in a Tropical climate and are crazy enough to try growing them anyway, LOL! ...it would also be a good cover up for our real goal of taking over the world with plants LOL! Whoahahahaha!
The best part of enjoying my gardens is remembering the friends who sent each plant (many of my NoIds are named after the person who sent them), its what makes my garden special! When my boys recieve a trade/gift plant we put the sender's name on the label to help them keep track of the garden friends they've made. Gardening not ony helps teach them that sharing is fun, but also that people can bond a friendship without ever having met in person!
Y'all have a great day!!!
Hey Barb,
Okay, I'd say that HAD to be a bear! BTW, thanks for our first visual of Bear Poop!LOL! The boys got a kick out of that!(Eeeewwww!). What kinda bears live around your woods? I'd be scared too with something that big entering the yard!...Hmmm, wonder if Regina's mockingbirds would keep those things away? Can the Parks/Wildlife Dept do anything about the bear if you call them? Only 25 ft from the GH..Yikes! Did you see him or is that just where he 'left his calling card'? Be careful Barb and don't go outside alone! Sure hope Kiki makes it home soon!!!!
Lol Chell I was in the woods all day today down in the ravine looking for Ki ki... I just got off the phone with the DNR...Shooo black bears dont eat kitties..:))) Everyone said he probably is afraid and went into hiding... I am so excited to have a bear...I have a driveway sensor for the deer when they come in to eat..It beeps in the house...I am drinking coffee to stay up all night and wait for it...I want a picture.. I placed the sensor by the feeders..... I got new rocks from the workers on the farmfield..... That is how I found the droppings... We are on the map now here for bears.... I am glad the kids got to learn from it.... It is about 2 inches in diameter...Big lol
Love ya Barb, but the poop shot made me gag!! A little smaller picture next time would be better I think! LOL!!
Sorry about your feeders. I don't blame your kitty for hiding!! I can't believe you're excited, you're nuts! I would be so scared!!! Make sure you keep your shed or garage (wherever you keep the bird seed) closed and locked!!! And if it's in a porch or your greenhouse, MOVE IT OUT! Bears get aggressive when it comes to food and could easily destroy more than just your feeders! I worry about you!!
*gagging in MN*
no way, i run like crazy when i see a ratler around here. id be in the other state by now if i would see a bear, nope... chell. i use to hate when my hubby did that, thats why he got a job in town after a wile... well we are all here for ya...amy im ready to send, so anytime youre ready...i agree on the tropical thing bannanas in az, yup theyll grow but no bananas..yea that membership is kinda wierd ive traded with so many people and trust was all thats was needed..later norma
Sorry Amy...LOL You have a weak tummy..hahahah
Bigmama I would run from a rattler too..:)
Heather it does look like burnt food...lol hahah
Great new everyone Kiki is home...I think he was hiding under the house...He is tramautized.. He is shaking and following al everywhere... He keeps looking at the bird feed area... He finally found something bigger than him... Mariann with all this excitement I didnt email you yet... I did make the list out and will email in the morning..Time for popcorn and hot chocolate.....Barb
Wow a bear in the yard! Bear are amazing to watch, especially family groups. (moms and cubs) They are ususally not dangerous unless interfered with. Best to keep your bird area cleaned up till the bear moves on. (keep your little doggies inside too) Have you considered planting natural food sources like wild berries native to your area. In a place where you can watch without having to get too close and that you are willing to leave to nature?
A couple of years ago in Tennessee, we watched a gang of idiots chase a bear up a tree trying to take photos! Jumping out of their cars, dragging kids and pocket cameras chasing a BEAR for gosh sakes!!!! Really, makes my blood boil! If somone had gotten hurt the Park probably would have ended up putting the animal down because someone had s#!t for brains!!! Makes my blood boil!!!!
ok, I'll get down off my soap box, (I am a bit of a nature freak) I am so excited about your visiter Barb just be careful! Most people who are hurt by wild bears got that way by being idiots!
Back in a bit have a wonderful day everyone!
Goodmorning Mariann I emailed you through gardenweb..I added a few to my have list...
Frances I hear ya on bugging animals in nature..It really irks me too... I can take pics from inside the house where the feeders are...I would never take on a bear..lol Those idiots are nuts...They need to be chased up a tree...
Al talked with his hunting buddy...The bear more than likely will not return.. They can cover quite a area...
Ki ki will not go outside now...I think this is a good thing..I never have liked him being out there.. What are you gonna do..:)
You all have a great day....Barb
It's amazing how ignorant some folks are! ...to put themselves AND their kids in danger just to get close to a bear?!? Haven't these folks ever heard of a Z-O-O ?!? They may as well be trying to stop a Mack Truck on the Interstate! Funny part is, they're usually the ones who never end up getting hurt!
Barb, I think its great that your yard attracts wildlife and bears are fascinating creatures...but please do be careful when you're out just in case he took a real liking to that 'trail mix' in your feeders. Soo glad your Kiki is back (and unharmed)too!
Dee, sent you an email. Thanks!
I havent heard from my swap partners yet... They must be busy gardeners... Norma I did get your email and sent you one back...I hope it works..:) I seen one of my partners is in another RR probably busy... Hope to hear Hello soon..:))) Barb
yes i did, beutifull plants, send me somemore at the end of the season, when they are all grown up..to all i send sidetrades all i have are cuttings, i dont start plants, i dont have room..i just started a trade and i dint specify and she was very disapointed with my box...:( im very sad..
Norma if all the boxes you send are as fat and full of healthy cuttings as you sent me (with sooo many extras...), I don't see how anyone could be unhappy with it. I'm sure that person will be thrilled in the end when everything roots and grows.
Barb, I haven't heard from one of my partners yet either. I know it has been a busy time for me, and since we just got partnered up Wed I'll wait till next week and then email her if she hasn't responded to my forum message by then. BTW, did your bear leave any paw prints? If so, it would be cool to make cement stepping stones from them!!!
I didn't get to play outside today (boohoo)... Josh had an upset tummy since last night, he was okay by noonish so we went to town... I donated plasma,then we stopped by Walmart and spent the rest of the day spring cleaning the kitchen (not a pretty scene, folks LOL). But we DID play outside all yesterday till about 7pm, we tilled up the soil( by hand, ugh!) for our Tropical Hideout~~ we played pirates digging for treasure...rocks were the 'booty' and roots were the bones (and wooden legs, Aargh!) of previously unfortumate pirates. The boys had a blast and I got some garden help...don't ya just love playing pretend??...it works like reverse psycology on these kids, and we all got filthy so I know they really enjoyed it!!! Tomorrow we need to gather all of those 'bones' and give them a proper burial at sea (our 'blue' dumpster), then we're planning to dig the hole to fit our little pond in and plant our hideout's walls (cannas).
Time to get these kiddos to bed..
G'night y'all.
Hey all, sorry for the MIA.....been a ruff week here. Mark had to have surgery on his wrist and I did'nt sleep the night before worring about it. It almost got canceled because he has this heart condition were it skips a beat every now and then. It's not a big deal really, he's been checked out by the cardiologist and the Dr. says it's perfectly normal for kids to have it.But every time he has to have a procedure his primary Dr. starts jerking over it. The cardo Dr. put a 24 hr. monitor on him this time to "put it to rest" and stop this craziness finally.
The surgery went ok too btw, he's doing ok, just sore, the Dr. put a screw into the bone to shock it into healing faster and better.
Bigmama I sent you an e-mail, hope to hear from you soon. I haven't heard from my "sender" yet.
Barb....be careful with that bear around there, wildlife is unpredictable. Im glad Kiki is ok too.
Chell....been there done that with the kids,so many times their dad was on call, only we are on the other end now. Kids are growing up and flying from the nest. Come this fall we will be empty nesters when Mark goes off to college. I look forward to this new era in our life, but I know I will also miss having the kids around.
I miss having kids around the house sometimes. But I call my sisters and listen to all the 'angst' they are going through with their teens and I think oh YA!!! I am free. Now their adventures really begin!
I love watching wild life, (well most wild life, I really am creeped out by possums, look like giant rats YUK) oh and snakes I am afraid of snakes, we have big ones here! ooh! I try to remember that snakes are good, snakes are very good.....
Its raining AGAIN!!!! oh me...... my backyard is a swamp! My new brumansia are loving it (cannas too, but everybody else is struggling to stay upright!
I hope you all have a great day! Gotta go see what needs saving today! Funny really, rescue from drought, rescue from waterlog, every day is an adventure in gardening here!
ha ha ha
Goodmorning Everybody ! :)
I heard from my swappers last night...:))) Mariann I have a couple of surprizes for you...We love putting surprizes in our boxes Regina started it..
Chell you are so creative and your writing is so much fun to read... I bet the boys loved playing pirate.. I can see their smiling faces now...What a great idea to make a hideout.. They will always remeber their hideout mom made for them...
Norma I havent traded with you but I am sure you went way above in sending her nice cuttings..I seen pics of what you send...They are awesome boxes..:)) Please dont be sad..:))
Regina howdy :) I am so sorry about Mark having to have surgery and the heart condition would just send me into heaven.. Wow I am so glad to read it all went well...Shooo My heart sank for a minute...He will be all healed for college this fall..:)) You empty nester dont go through what I went through...Stay busy and call them alot... I miss my kids so much it hurts sometimes... Dogs are okay but they cant replace our true babies...I love reading about chell and her boys... It makes me smile so much...
Frances lol You poor gardener..ahhah You need a break from mother nature..Really..:)) Oh big snakes yucky... I would be screaming... I love chippies...They are so cute...Havent had many around with a cat now...Kiki has brought home two gardener snakes...He was very proud of himself...
Yesterday I was getting ready to go out and play in the dirt...The crows or blackbirds were screaming...It just like a scene in the movie the "birds"... It creeped me out really bad...I couldnt see what they were yelling at..
I watched tv...Than got bored and went coleus shopping..lol
The master gardener sale for the next county over is tommorow... I cant wait to see what they are going to be offering..I have never been to this one...Oh I almost forgot..I heard from the master gardener I met...Looks like we are building another gh..lol She wants to do it closer to fall since everyone is busy with their gardens...I am glad we could help her..They are a pain to build.. well I gabbed enough lol must be the strong coffee and I got a lot of sleep...:)) Have a good day everybody..Barb
Hello everyone-I've been remiss again at posting....sorry I did hear from Barb and emailed her back. Hi Barb-waving... Also heard from Heather... so I've been in contact with my partners. Enjoyed Heather's newsy emails.
Regina-I'm glad the surgery went well for Mark.
Frances I sympathize about the rain. We've had so much the last week that everything is water logged. Not to mention the septic system! That's a whole other story. I can't even wash dishes because nothing drains. The slugs are having a field day. I walk around the yard with my container of salt trying to kill as many as I can. My veggie garden isn't even entirely planted yet. I have been enjoying the lettuce I put in though. This year I planted 2 rows of snow peas. I'd like to be able to freeze some for stir fry during the winter.
I've been laid up with a horrible cold and bronchitis. It's been almost a week and a half. Since then I've kind of let things go like posting. I do enjoy everyone's chatty posts though it really makes my day.
Hello all,
Glad to see that the partners are starting to browse each other's lists! Yeah!!
It's raining here too, but we really need it!!! It's cold too though, which we really DON'T need!! LOL. It's nice though, I have lots of stuff to do inside. I have a ton of plants to get repotted, so that will be what I'll work on for the rest of the afternoon. Just brought home a big bag of dirt, it should be fun! :-) Hope you dry out soon Frances.
Sorry to hear that some of you are sick. I guess it's going around! I'm still pretty tired. Regina, glad to hear that everything is ok. My husband has to have surgery on his arm this fall, not looking forward to that!!
I posted a new thread so check it out. It has your last tip for this swap included. Fun stuff!!!


text:
Cameron and Foreman tell the A-plot patient that they're going to do another MRI to find the tumor they believe she has. Elyce is kinda bummed about the brain cancer news. "Don't worry," her husband says. "Too late," she answers as tears fall down her cheeks. Aw.
Cameron instructs Elyce to remain as still as possible as Foreman injects what I'm guessing is gallium into her IV line. Then she's wheeled into the MRI tube of DEATH. Hope it works out this time!
House and Wilson exit the very appropriately-named "Exam Room" as Boobs puts her robe back on. Except that she's still putting it on when they open the door, meaning that just about anyone in the Clinic could get a peek at her goodies. I'm guessing she doesn't mind that too much, though. Wilson isn't as impressed with the preschool teacher's set as House was. I guess he's not a Tits 'N Ass man. He always struck me as more of a Beard 'N Limp guy anyway. House uses the patient's fake boobs as a segue into a philosophical argument about lying. Is a lie a lie if everyone knows it's a lie? Do people have cosmetic surgery to change how others seen them, or how they see themselves? And why is Wilson wearing a fancy new tie today after wearing the same five boring ties for the last three weeks? Up until this point, the homoerotic vibe I got from those two was that Wilson was interested, but House was not. But I've never known a straight man who paid such close attention to his own ties, let alone those of his best friend's. I guess it takes two to tango, even if one person's bum leg makes tangoing a bit tricky. The flirtatious fun is ruined when Cuddy walks up, asking if the reason that two department heads had to check out a standard shortness-of-breath complaint has anything to do with the complainant's huge boobies. House tells a nearby nurse to run some tests and blood work on the patient. "You're ordering tests to cover your lechery? Interesting," Cuddy says. Seriously, what does it take to get fired from this place?
Back with the small-boobed A-patient, Foreman says they didn't find anything on the MRI. Ed starts to flip out, asking why it's taking them so long to figure out what is wrong with his wife. Cameron's response is an "I know you're scared. I would be, too," which can't do a whole lot to make anyone feel better. In fact, Elyce announces that she suddenly feels much worse, and has a seizure. I blame Cameron for this. Elyce flops around like a dying fish, and I can't believe House didn't take the fastest elevator up there so he could check out all the hot boob-jigglin' seizure action, since that is so important to him this week.

Raw Vanilla by Coty
The Biagiotti Roma reference is spot on. I´d also add Paloma Picasso´s Minotaur as it shares the sweet, sticky vanilla base. Of the 3 Raw Vanilla is unfortunately the worst. Too linear and boring and ultimately cloying as well with it´s thick, sugary take on vanilla. Might attract the Pi-crowd though.

Aspen for Men by Coty
Coty is virtually unknown in Northern Europe, so when I got around to sample Aspen (many, many years ago) at a friends dads house I didn't have any cheapo-associations linked to the house at all. First of all the dark green bottle is well made and gives it a quality look. Secondly, Aspen is a really decent juice. Piney and mossy, very comforting in a classic way. It reminds me slightly of Tuscany, but much greener and minty. I think that this is a great choice considering the low price.

Neat "swinging sixties" flacon, but only decent content. London could have been excellent if it wasn't so artificial in it's general ambiance. It's figgy, rummy, coconutty and cosily woody. There seems to be large- scale trends in the mainstream designer houses every year now, multiple launches under a given period smell very similar. And this is definitely the case with London, Armani's Black Code and CK's Obsession night. Out of these 3, the Paul Smith is the given winner, especially longevity-wise. An acceptable cologne, and a huge improvement over the two first very dissapointing offerings.

Glacier by Oriflame
Oriflame is a swedish based cosmetics company that has become very successfull especially in Russia. Their concept is employing thousands of representatives globally, that sell the products during "tupperware"-parties in the homes of private persons. The quality is generally low, but it is a cheap brand as well. Their fragrances are unfortunately no exception, they're actually even inferior to the mainline, very poor standard. Glacier is a run of the mill spices and woods concoction, nothing new. If you're still interested in this brand check out http://www.oriflame.se/prod/catalog/MainCategory.jhtml?CATID=fragnance for their list of fragrances.

Ultraviolet Man by Paco Rabanne
Unfortunately UV turns very synthetic on the drydown, which is a pity since it's quite a cool EdT. It's sweet and almost gourmand in nature, has a milkiness also found in Diesel ++ and Allure. Additionally It manages to capture the colour purple/violet well in the overall impression. BUT the longevity is bad and the base definitely too artificial to warrant a purchase.
27th September, 2005
Ténéré by Paco Rabanne
Just recently sampled a very old bottle of this and I'm almost sure it had gone off, cause it was very urine-like... Can't imagine this was the purpose, especially with the 2 positive reviews. It did smell rather mossy though, which seems to be a Rabanne house note. Hope I can smell an okay version of this sometime, the bottle is very alluring somehow in all of it's simplicity.
27th September, 2005
Signature pour Homme by S.T. Dupont
Bought this blind and was delighted at first. It is however very heavy on the incense, and easily becomes cloying. Strictly for winter use therefore, where the ambery, piquant sweetness and woods will surely please it's wearer. Is very similar to Cacharel's Nemo by the way, minus the caramel and with significantly stronger incense.
27th September, 2005
Minotaure by Paloma Picasso
Very 90's in the overall feel, for me along with Eternity this was one of the signature scents of that decade. Minotaure achieved huge sales in Europe, especially considering the small Picasso brand. A strong juice, heavy on vanilla, orange blossom and jasmine. Instantly recognizeable and somewhat sexually ambigous courtesy of the florals. Smooth leathery base with a mellow sweetness that keeps delievering throughout the day. The closest scent is without a doubt Roma by Biagiotti, but Minotaure is the better of the two, at least for me.
27th September, 2005
Bleu Marine by Pierre Cardin
I agree with Dave, a terribly weak marine release. Not better in any way than Axe/Lynx aftershaves. Uninspired aquatic mess, simple and bad. The original Cardin, Pour Monsieur was a much better juice along the lines of the first Polo by Ralph Lauren. Piney, fresh and masculine.
27th September, 2005
America for Men by Perry Ellis
This was a blatant rip off of the original Tommy Hilfiger cologne. They even copied it conceptually with the regional american components/notes. I have to say that the end result is slightly better though, mainly to the nice and juicy pineapple in the opening. Overall a generic release which was discontinued, not exactly surprisingly.
27th September, 2005
Emporio Armani City Glam for Him by Giorgio Armani
My initial response (from the board) upon sampling this P o S:
26th September, 2005
Rive Gauche pour Homme Light by Yves Saint Laurent
This one was just unnecessary really. I suspect they only launched it to play around with the colour scheme of the oooh so classic tin cannister. Go for the real deal instead, you won't be dissapointed!
26th September, 2005
Liquid Karl by Lagerfeld
Was supposed to be called Hunger at first, mainly cause it smells a lot like bread. But the name was judged too controversial and this EdT was launched together with Lagerfelds clothes collection for Hennes & Mauritz, and was only available for a short time in those stores. It is pretty avant-garde, especially compared to earlier KL fragrances. Starts out just like a spiced loaf of bread (and I mean EXACTLY like bread - unique) but fades into a much more ordinary warm, ambery mix quite rapidly. Traded mine away, thought it was to feminine for me.
26th September, 2005
DKNY Be Delicious Men by Donna Karan
Absolutely vile. Synthetic crap with some bizarre apple and coffee thing going on, anyone liking this surely must be on crack or very low on comparative experience. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this garbage. And the bare thought that this comes from the same house that gave us the timeless Fuel, Black Cashmere and the pure genius of Chaos says a lot about todays market climate. Saddening.
26th September, 2005
M7 Fresh by Yves Saint Laurent
A remake that actually does deserve some attention. This one is quite different from it's big brother, the smokey, oudh-ish, Dr Peppery brown bottle. Fresh has some pronounced citrus, grapefruit mainly, and less of that darkness (that can come across as quite feminine sometimes) so characteristic of the original. Obviously better suited for the summer season.
26th September, 2005
Anice by Etro
Too linear and "boozy". Apart from the beautiful flacon Anice has little to offer, just sambuca-smelling cologne, PASS.
26th September, 2005
Carthusia Uomo by Carthusia
Quite original offering. It is somewhat aquatic and with a very natural raspberry accord, smells like the real fruits, no synthetic crap. Like all Carthusia's it is a simple blend, but pleasant nevertheless. It reminds me of the early, austere Creeds like Bois de Cedrat and Bigarrade.
26th September, 2005
Aria di Capri by Carthusia
This shouldn't be marketed as uni-sex because it's 100% feminine. No guy could get away with this, unless you are wearing D&G's Sicily on a daily basis that is. It is very lovely though, peaches and lillies in a powdery, soft and sweet blend. Best longevity among the Carthusias.
26th September, 2005
Mediterraneo by Carthusia
Mediterraneo opens up with a superb lemon zest, the best there is alongside the original Boucheron according to my personal preference. It smells natural, fresh and is good reminder why citrus is so widely used in perfumery. It then dries down to a quite simple green tea base, delicate and dry. This is not a complex fragrance, but a very nice one in all of it's simplicity. Perfect for hot summer days.
26th September, 2005
Magnetism for Men by Escada
Soft, subtle, saffron-scent that should be worn for romantic wear in my honest opinion. This one is very original for coming out in 2004, a warm caress of a fragrance, slightly woody and almost metallic. A big favourite of Basenoters globally, and I can certainly see why. Magnetism is a great blend of the aforementioned notes + leather and white musk - a class act!
26th September, 2005
B*Men by Thierry Mugler
Just like Paul McCartney's solo work always will be compared to The Beatles, every new Mugler release automatically gets measured alongside of the masterpieces Angel and A*men. That has to be the flipside to such a massive success, how can you possibly match it? Well, simply put, you can't. B*men is a great woody scent, with rhubarb and all kinds of cool notes - still the final impression is a "Diet-A*Men". Now that in itself probaly justifies a purchase for many, and I believe the 2 can co-exist. Just think of B*Men as a new edition more suitable for office and professional enviroment. 4/5 stars.
26th September, 2005
Island Kiss by Escada
I think Escadas female fragrance developers are the number one experts on fantastic top notes. All these seasonal launches smell unbelievably great when you first try them, I know cause I bought this one for my lady immediately. Once that blast of fresh strawberry and delicious fruit punch settles, the rest isn't as good unfortunately. Still this works great as a "refresher" during the warm months of the year.
26th September, 2005
Rive Gauche pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent
Flawless update of old classics like Tuscany and Azzaro PH. Modernized spicebomb a lá 1970's. Rive Gauche PH manages to sport a very contemporary appeal alongside of the rugged, masculine rawness. I can honestly say nothing else elicits so many positive reactions in the clubs and dancefloors as this one. It just signals that 70's decadence so incredibly well, without smelling one bit stuffy or dated. Tom Ford should be a very respected man for pushing stuff like this and M7 in an era where the the best seller lists include Polo Blue and Davidoff Echoe... One of my top 5 forever.
26th September, 2005
Armani Code / Black Code by Giorgio Armani
Definitely ok compared to much of the junk released by GA. Decent oriental heavy on woods and tonka, not unlike Le Male impressionwise. Lousy longevity though, and definitely too cheap-smeling in the end to accompany a sweet tux.
26th September, 2005
Spezie by Lorenzo Villoresi
Spezie reminds me of the first Comme des Garcons and is way too crammed with "kitchen-spices" for my acceptance. I mean no offense, but surely Coriander, Cardamom, Laurel,Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cumin, Tomato Leaves, Rosemary and Sage especially all together, rather should belong in a nice tuscan beef stew then on anyone's skin. Sorry Mr. Villoresi but you overdid it this time!
26th September, 2005
Rochas Lui by Rochas
The fragrance people at Rochas really thought outside the box when creating Lui, and for that they should get some cred. Cause this one could have easily come out in the 70's or even 60's, it is VERY classic smelling. The juice itself isn't exactly super original, an orange blossom/vanilla cocktail with a dash of patchouli. But the overall impression is a sympathetic and masculine one. Can't imagine it's selling very well though.
26th September, 2005
Individuel by Montblanc
The compariso to Joop! is unavoidable. These two really are very similar, Individuel being a sligthly muted version. Same monster sillage and longevity though. The question is just WHY? With so many people hating the original, did we really need a copycat? I don't think so, and if you want something this flashy and strong just go for the "scarlet bad-boy" in the first place.
26th September, 2005
Emporio Armani Night He by Giorgio Armani
For some reason this one vaguely reminds me of Fahrenheit, but of course with that added syntheticness of later Armanis. I perceive Night as being very sharp and unpleasant, even cloying. Didn't do particularly well here, maybe because of the aforementioned?
26th September, 2005
Nostalgia by Santa Maria Novella
Fantastic scent and quite original as well. It definitely resembles the old leathers like Knize ten and Cuir de Russie, but it's closest relative has to be Bulgari Black. Nostalgia is even more avant-garde though, using notes like petrol and motor-grease to create a very unique aura. Very untypical for being a Santa Maria Novella fragrance, especially since it's so modern. After all we're talking about a house with several centuries of heritage. In no way does Nostalgia put that leagacy to shame, quite on the contrary- this is probably their best launch up to date! The genuine, vanillic, leather drydown is to die for.
26th September, 2005
Patchouli by Lorenzo Villoresi
Incredibly natural on the plus side, a little too earthy on the minus. I'm also amazed by the testimonies of great longevity, this Patchouli faded within an hour or so on me. Perhaps my sample was bad? I miss something sweet in here, maybe a dash of vanilla or amber. It comes across as a little rough, but maybe that's the point.

text: When we last left off, we had spent the evening at Epcot for extra magic hours, and made it back to AKL to turn in for the night. Day 3 (Saturday May 21) Part 1 We didnt get in bed until after midnight, and the alarm was set for 6 am. Knowing our track record, where we going to make it to rope drop at Animal Kingdom? We got out of bed at 6:30 and started getting ready. At 7:15 we were up in the CL eating out breakfast, which is a morning ritual now. Fresh fruit, pastries, and yummy juice we had about the same thing every morning. On this particular morning I had pineapple juice and DH had mango juice. We loved the variety of fresh fruit available. It was a great day to start a Disney day you know, since we were probably eating about 5000 calories of yummy a day. The heat and all the walking cancels it out though, right? LOL. We were at the bus stop by 7:45. I was getting nervous. Where we going to make it? We only waited 3 minutes for a bus and were walking up to the AK gates right at 8:00! We didnt actually see the rope drop per say, since we were in the back. But we were there waiting for them to open. WE DID IT! We stopped and had our first picture at AK taken. Baby Simba! We didnt exactly have a plan, but we knew what we wanted to do that day, does that make sense? We decided to head towards EE and get a FP. There was a 0 minute wait, so we hopped on and rode. We both had full bladders so we went and found a rest room after our ride, and then decided to ride again because it was still a walk on ride. Amazing! Getting up early pays off big time at Disney. I didnt take a picture of either of our ride photos, neither one of us made any good faces it was just boring. We thought about pulling a FP for later, but decided against it so we could FP something else. We set off for Dinosaur next. We spotted a FP photographer with no wait I was excited to have PP at AK with a new background! I dont know why but I really like this ride. Since I know where the camera is there, I always try to make a good face but clearly DH and I both failed on that one. After making our way out of Dinoland (it seems like it was extra confusing for some reason) we headed over to see Its Tough to Be a Bug! Weve never done this before, so I didnt realize you could get this close & personal with the tree of life awesome! And here is us in our super cool bug glasses waiting for the show to start. Cute show. After the show was over, Kali River Rapids was finally going to be open. We headed over to the ride to grab a FP for later when we were hotter & more miserable than we already were. On the way, we spotted this guy and stopped to get our picture taken with him. Its Flik! After our visit with Flik, I decided I was hungry. It was way too early for lunch though. I wanted a snack and sadly I had a very boring frozen lemonade that wasnt even that great. DH grabbed a bottle of water. We took our drinks and headed for the super secret trail that Dee had told me about. It was SO cool to be that close to the tree of life. How have I been to AK this many times and not known that? Bad DISer! After our walk through the trail, it was time we could go grab another fast pass, so we joined the masses and headed towards Africa. Is it just me, or does it seem like EVERYONE is in Africa at AK? We got fast passes for the safari. Then we headed over to Camp Minnie Mickey just to check out who was on the greeting trails. This trip we were not interested in long waits for characters, especially ones that we have seen in the past. (there was barely a wait for Flik and we had never seen him before). I never noticed these details the last time we were at Camp Minnie Mickey on our honeymoon. Hughie, Louie, and Louie as my little brother used to call them The regulars were there in their safari gear. And Thumper & the brown female bunny. There was a short wait, so we hopped in their line since we had never seen Thumper before. How exciting! Continued in next post .

State Democrats growing warmer to nuke power
Growing numbers of Democrats say Wisconsin should end its long-running ban on nuclear power plants. But the prospects are uncertain at best in the Democratically-controlled Senate.
Gov. Jim Doyle has said the nearly 25-year-old ban should stay in place. Still, a legislative panel recently voted to end the ban, thus allowing Wisconsin's first nuclear power plants in years.
Republicans say it makes economic sense, because the state now buys much of its power from elsewhere.

Star Wars: Battlefront - Next-Gen Wiki Guide
|Release Date
|Digital Illusions CE (DICE)
|Electronic Arts (EA)
|Official Sites
Star Wars Battlefront is an upcoming shooter from Battlefield creator DICE. It is a reboot of the Star Wars Battlefront series, originally created by Pandemic Studios. The game will be given an official title soon, and rumors suggest that since it is a reimagining of Battlefront from DICE it will not be called Battlefront III. Excluding smaller handheld releases, this will be the first main Battlefront title since Battlefront II released in 2005. Therefore, it has been heavily anticipated by gamers. EA confirmed that the game will use the Frostbite 3 engine and they expect Battlefront to release in 2015 to coincide with the release of Star Wars: Episode VII. Expect more information to be revealed in spring 2015
During EA's E3 2014 presentation, both Hoth and Endor were confirmed as locations in the game. It was revealed that the developers not only visited Skywalker Ranch to see the original props, but visited the original filming locations to get a real sense for the locales and the emotions they invoke.
Rebel Alliance snowspeeders, Imperial AT-STs, speeder bikes, and the expected Stormtrooper/Rebel Alliance soldier can also be seen in the E3 2014 footage.
EA Games officially revealed Star Wars Battlefront at E3 2013. The first footage of the game debuted at E3 2013 and can be viewed in the teaser trailer below.

"Great post Olympic Book!!!!!"
Yes, the narrator made this book interesting and fun to listen to.
I loved Zoe! She is flawed, but there is something about her that kept me wanting to hear more.
She makes you feel like you are listening to the girls conversation.
This was a book that I got hooked too and had a hard time turning off. I did have to break it up, but once I got started it was hard to turn it off.
"Fun Book!"
I tend not to listen to books more then once.
Stephanie is the BEST!
Great voice and easy to listen to.
I laughed many times.

Welcome to Africa, AKA the motherland! Check out African Internet Radio while you're scoping the panoramas.The earliest fossil of the homo sapiens family (human beings) was found in Ethiopia, dating back more than 200,000 years. Compared to this length of time, even the "ancient Sumerians" from 6000 B.C. are drooling toddlers.Let's mention a few African heroes you may have heard of, for inspiration in the face of the continued economic inequality and violence which plague Africa today: Nelson Mandela, first democratically elected President of South Africa, who fought against apartheid and served 27 years in prison while advocating freedom and peace. Haile Salassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, who resisted Mussolini and the fascist Italian invasion of WWII, and who is worshipped as an incarnation of God by the Rastafari movement. Kwame Nkrumah, first Prime Minister of Ghana, advocate of uniting Africa in Pan-Africanism. Fela Kuti, inventor of Afrobeat music, who declared his home to be an independent state, ran for president of Nigeria, and to whose funeral ONE MILLION PEOPLE came to pay their respects.In June 2001 the African Union was formed, consisting of 53 African States organized, like in the EU, around common economic and political development.Text by Steve Smith.

Quartz Countertop Minor Scratches
My contractor recently installed my quartz countertop on the bathroom cabinet and there were some hairline scratches that bother the heck out of me.
I tried using some dishwasher steel wool to remove it but it only dulled the surface more and didn't really fix the scratches.
What is the best way to restore the quartz countertop? The quartz is royal white and has a beige/bone color to it. I've read up and have seen people mention the following:
1. Using finer steel wool to remove it and then buff with buffer and rubbing compound
2. Using superglue/epoxy and fill in the scratches and polish with rubbing compound
3. Using buffer and rubbing compound and buff it out without doing anything further.
Will using rubbing compound and buffer further damage the stone?
Hope to hear from you soon!
A you should have called the fabricator back and had him deal with the issue. Now that you've damaged the counter further by attempting a DIY fix, you have no standing to ask him to fix it. You've voided that warranty.
Quartz isn't Corian and isn't at all friendly to even think about DIYing. Replacing the top at this point would probably be the best choice, as hiring a stone restoration expert would cost about as much as having a remnant fabricated.
A stone pro restoring this would remove the counter and use diamond polishing pads with a water stream in order to polish the counter. And he would have to be careful with the pads speed and keep it moving to avoid scorching the resin component. It's a slow, slow, process. Working with quartz has more in common with real granite than acrylic solid surface, but the moment you forget and treat it like granite is the moment that the acrylic component bites you.
If you are willing to live with a duller finish than you started with, you possibly could attempt to dry polish it out yourself, but you are not going to end up with anything close to a factory polish. But, at this point, since replacement is your other best choice, what have you got to lose? And the good news is that a "honed" finish is a popular choice in counters these days. You can probably take the shine down to that level as you remove the scratch and just pretend that's what you wanted from the beginning.

The Castle Ruins
A HAPPY day at Whitsuntide,
As soon 's the zun begun to vall,
We all stroll'd up the steep hill-zide
To Meldon, gret an' small;
Out where the Castle wall stood high
A-mwoldren to the zunny sky.
An' there wi' Jenny took a stroll
Her youngest sister, Poll, so gay,
Bezide John Hind, ah! merry soul,
An' mid her wedlock fay;
An' at our zides did play an' run
My little maid an' smaller son.
Above the baten mwold upsprung
The driven doust, a-spreaden light,
An' on the new-leav'd thorn, a-hung,
Wer wool a-quiv'ren white;
An' corn, a-sheenen bright, did bow,
On slopen Meldon's zunny brow.
There, down the roofless wall did glow
The zun upon the grassy vloor,
An' weakly-wandren winds did blow,
Unhinder'd by a door;
An' smokeless now avore the zun
Did stan' the ivy-girded tun.
My bwoy did watch the daws' bright wings
A-flappen vrom their ivy bow'rs;
My wife did watch my maid's light springs,
Out here an' there vor flow'rs;
And John did zee noo tow'rs, the place
Vor him had only Polly's face.
An' there, of all that pried about
The walls, I overlook'd em best,
An' what o' that? Why, I made out
Noo mwore than all the rest:
That there wer woonce the nest of zome
That wer a-gone avore we come.
When woonce above the tun the smoke
Did wreathy blue among the trees,
An' down below, the liven vo'k
Did tweil as brisk as bees:
Or zit wi' weary knees, the while
The sky wer lightless to their tweil
