OT: HGTV Protest Campaign
Comments (68)Hi Nancy, Here is the link to the blog created just for this campaign by Sewobsessed to help us all participate. It has all the contacts, updates and background. As to posting this on other forums, I have done that already.I posted to all that had activity in the last 5 weeks to make sure it would have a chance to be read. I met with some back lash, told I was Spaming the GW and over stepping the rules. I'm a newbie who has now learned the hard way. Sorry. But, the responses have mostly been positive. I returned to all these forums where it was posted to let them also know about the new blog. The GW is not the only place to find people to participate.If you have any connection to a garden community at home, let them know too. Here is an bit of my early reply to this thread. April 13th, I'm there. My garden is 6 years old. Each spring for the last 5 years another garden show dropped away and my continued education with them. ( thank G-d for you all at GW) How could we get word to the First Lady? We could Email every Nursery we use, on or off line, to join us on the 13th. What about every and any vendor that advertises in garden magazines, most list a www.com to contact them. Any college or high school that has a horticulture program. Directors of food banks. Garden clubs and Societies. Oprah! Sewobsessed, let me know how to help. email me. I am in Niagara Falls NY Elizabeth Glad for your support, I think a steady persistent drum of protest over time is a Great idea. It would be great too,if we build in numbers with each wave of communication, each protest event. A great building Hue and Cry. Many people and certainly most Corporations need to be told many times in many ways before they will listen. I wish us all the best.

Comments (8)Hi Cheryl, Here in Northern California where I live, we only get one gardening show -- Paul James' Gardening By The Yard. The few similar shows that are left are landscaping shows -- which is a *totally diferent* head from a gardening show. We gardeners are being kicked to the curb. IMO, they are keeping the G in HGTV to lure in unsuspecting viewers to think that they may find a gardening show. And while they're poking around to find that needle in the haystack show, they'll find other shows that they like and will stick around. Fat chance. I'm with the rest of you. I don't watch those channels anymore. I'm giving them until next season to put something on that interests me. After that, I'm cancelling that part of my subscription. How will they lure me back then????...See MoreNo G in HGTV!
Comments (18)Ummmm, Don, I think YOU are the genius for linking all those into one blockbuster show. Me, I'm the sort who gets a message and then assumes it is a brilliant idea....like the time I heard that in California they were making the offshore drilling platforms/rigs look like condos. That's what they SAID. What I HEARD was, they were turning the offshore rigs into condos. My mind went galloping with that, seeing the cranes lowering folks to the deck of a ferry to go into town to work....And on the rig itself an ATM machine, a 24 hour restaurant, even a grocery store, beauty/barber shop, a day care, and an all-age school with guest teachers from the university system, or else with video classrooms. Oh yeah, and a pharmacy that flies in the meds via chopper. Well, that's what I HEARD, and my imagination took a giant leap forward. I could see trees....especially palm trees like in MISTER ROBERTS....fresh water via reverse osmosis, solar power supply. But sadly, they only put big canvas covers over the ugly business part of the rigs, with squares like windows drawn and cut into it, but with one production platform, I saw it set up like a real (small) tropical island with a sandy beach and a couple of palm trees and a tiki shack covering the ugly production wellhead etc. As long as it was out of sight, nobody seemed to care. Duhhhh....See MoreSink Dilemma - single bowl, 20g or dbl,16g?
Comments (14)Consumer Reports says that in stainless steel, gauge doesn't matter (!) and that all gauges handled noise, dents, scratches and heat equally. I have to disagree with Consumer Reports on that one. We moved from a house with a 20-gauge sink into a house with a 16-gauge sink, and the difference was dramatic. The 16-gauge was so, so much quieter and so much more substantial. If I dropped a serving spoon in the 20-gauge, it made a loud "tinny" sound. In the 16-gauge, it made a quiet little thud. The 16-gauge had been in the house for about 20-25 years, while the 20-gauge had only been in the previous house for about 7 years. Still, the 16-gauge looked newer. Neither one ever dented. Come to think of it, the sink was one of the first things I noticed when we were shown the house. Now, I don't know if I would have noticed such a difference between 18-gauge and the others, but the difference from 16 to 20 was absolutely huge. To say gauge "doesn't matter" is just wrong, at least in my experience. It's one of the reasons I agonized so much over my sink choice in this remodel. I was even tempted to keep the old sink. The only problem was that it had some weird built-in appliance (a blender kind of thing with several attachments) integrated on one side that no longer worked. It was also a three-bowl configuration, and since I would have a second sink for prep, I was ready for a big, single bowl....See Moremxk3 z5b_MI
