Hello Passiflora enthusiasts! Rooms are already being booked for the next PSI meeting. We have a very exciting cruise with fantastic destinations for the Passiflora adventure seeker. The trip is in early February, 2013, and we have some very nice group rates and promotions. You can see event details and ask questions on our Facebook event page: http://www.facebook.com/events/326174290769606/ If you do not have a Facebook account, you can email me your questions, and request a flier. We look forward to seeing you all there! Eric Wortman President Passiflora Society International

I suspect I will oil it at least once; I should try it on the piece that won't be visible when the cabinet goes in today. Blackeyedpeas - knowing the gender of the baby before it's born is like knowing what your birthday gift is ahead of time. Ruins the surprise, which is almost the best part, IMO! Neither of my kids wanted to know in advance (and in "my day" it was not possible to know), and I suspect my next daughter will want a surprise package, too. So...I'll get there eventually. Thanks, everyone.

Posted by junkyardgirl: Look, I'm all for not wasting the taxpayers dollars, but school officials get paid so little and do so much. Would it kill us to fork over a little to let them have some fun once in awhile? After all, they educate our children for us for free. ROTFL. Ha! school board officials get paid huge bucks. At least where I live they do. They get paid way more than the teachers do, and do way less. They don't do it for FREE on a volunteer basis either. Where ever do you get that idea? I don't even "get" why school officals had to even go to this conference "to learn about new products" as the article said the intent was. Can't they learn about new products using the internet? With phone calls or email? From article: "When officials attended the conference about five years ago, they learned about and secured a $125,000 grant for a districtwide dialing system to call parents in the event of an emergency." What!?!? A $125,000 dialing system to call parents. What was wrong with using a regular telephone? And a phone book. Or keep students parents' phone numbers on file cards in a little plastic box. So our taxes paid for this grant too? "Several officials also paid for meals while attending theme parks, many during hours when the conference was ongoing." This is soooo typical of these types of events. The persons sent to them do not even attend the functions and fritter away their time on personal entertainment. My head is spinning.

I am finishing with a total of 137 for Zone 6. Brad if you are reading this. I don't know how to send messages to anyone. I would like to know if you want to trade for some Lynchis 'Burning Love'. T's Flower's and Things are sold out of them. I am following you. I don't know how to get around this site.
