Nancy, I'm sorry to hear that. I have african violet leaves I can send you, pink and violet. I would like some Christmas cactus cuttings, one can never have too many. Dianne

I am in the SF Bay Area (peninsula). Would love to get yucca plant cuttings to propogate. Also looking for any aloe or succulents. Email me at sonaliagrawal at gmail dot com. Thank you!

Caligal, it really sounds like you want to stay with your current home. However, I'll just point out that right now the inventory of foreclosed homes gives people unprecedented chances to obtain homes they could not hope to have before and many will not be able to afford in future (let's hope no more such "wonderful" home markets). I don't mean go looking just for a bigger home (although in your case some additional size would be nice), but rather a lifestyle improvement: A decent home in a location that is particularly desirable to you. You know, location, location, location. Things like good schools, a pretty sociable neighborhood, close to family, en route between friends and mall (they'll be dropping in), favorite amenities close by (cows in pastures or high-density shopping, your choice), good proximity and transportion to work. Whatever floats your boat. If you're not already in a place you'd really like to raise your children and even be happy growing old, this current opportunity to make your home there should not be passed up for any but the most important reasons.
