Way way off topic State quarters with Denver mint

14 years ago

I'm looking for some one in the west to help me find a few of the state quarters that have the Denver mint. Just looking for circulated ones, nothing special. Trying to finish off one of those folding book collections. Maybe someone in the west needs some with the Philly mint ?? Any help will be appreciated ! ~Edna~

Coldest air in many years on its way?

I grafted an unknown early peach that my neighbor has grown for 10 years or more ( It was there when he bought the house). It's very delicious but as soon as it got old enough to have good fruit, I only had 2 years of sweet peaches and the last 2 years when the tree flowered in Jan. not Feb. the weather has been too cool and overcast and the ripening peaches all taste terrible. The same for the neighbors tree that I made the graft from. I could just wait and see again what will happen. Still, it's a cheerful sight in bloom and the bees are grateful for the pollen to bring back to their hives. I like to sit and listen to them. It's one of the earliest trees to wake up so I called it my rooster tree but now has been named Cogburn's Peach by my friend. Cogburn's peach has been such a good tree for my neighbor and many people enjoy it because it hangs over the fence and the sweet peaches hang down over the sidewalk. There never is any mess because everyone eats the peaches as soon as they are getting ripe. I would trade tangerines in January for peaches later on and the super sweet ones were so much better than the just ripening ones that people got hanging over the sidewalk as they walked by. I wanted my own tree so much in case something ever happened to the neighbors tree. We never could find out what it was. That tree is looking stressed out now but mine looks in the prime health of its young adult life. I would hate to remove it but I worry about the loss of our cold and wonder if I wouldn't do better with something more reliable. About the strawberry fields next to Disneyland. They were owned by an old farmer and although Disney tried to buy his fields many times, he refused to sell. The soil in that part of Anaheim is so wonderful. It's fine and sandy river bed soil. Whenever they work on the roads, you can see the magnificent soil that was paved over for parking lots and hotels and the parks. I would love to have that soil. Anyone who grows crops would love that soil. Strawberries do very well here. You see them here and there but mostly now nearer the beach cities. The children sold the fields right after he died and they put parking lots on them. It was very sad to see it happen that way. I wish they would preserve some of the agricultural heritage of early Orange County. I remember when my parent's home had orange groves for miles along the roads and the air was sweet with orange blossoms. There are a few remaining orange trees in backyards of that neighborhood ( built in 1963) and they still produce great oranges today. The builders left some of the trees instead of knocking all of them down. The same thing happened when they built an industrial park on an orange grove. They left some rows of trees instead of planting grass like all the others did. The value of the strawberry fields on Harbor Blvd. was too tempting because of its proximity to the Disney resorts and being on the main road where all the hotels are. The same thing is happening in Irvine. Soon all the farms will be gone forever and replaced with planned association neighborhoods and shopping.

Natural way to get rid of ANTS???
Q
Comments (120)
To hottubjoe - I know this is an OLD but useful thread. Re cats and oils even natural ones. Cats do not have the liver enzyme system to metabolize fragrance products including natural oils. When I lived in NYC I had those cedar blocks for moths in my teeeeny closet. They can be very toxic to them. There are different types of cedar products and they must be phenol-free. (see Wondercide pheno free cedar products and their discussion on safe for cats) And Cedar cide (which I have used for bugs in the house) I always put my cat in another room just to be super safe. """""""""""""""""Cats, which are highly sensitive to odors and many essential oils, can suffer adverse side effects from improperly formulated cedar oil. Phenols, which are naturally present in several essential oils, can be outright fatal to cats, especially smaller individuals such as kittens. An inability to metabolize this common ingredient is what renders some types of cedar oil harmful to cats. Furthermore, some species of cedar—like Western red cedar—are naturally toxic to both pets and people, and should never be used in topical pet products. Firstly, Cedarcide cedar oil never contains phenols or phenolic compounds. Secondly, because we use only the highest quality cedar oil sourced from only pet-safe cedar trees (Juniperus ashei, to be specific), our products are always non-toxic, all natural, and safe for pets. Using a multi-step filtration process, our cedar oil is purified of all unnecessary contaminants—including any potentially harmful ingredients like phenols. However, as with any topical pet product, you should test your cat for possible sensitivity or allergy to cedar oil with a small initial application.""""""""""""""""""""" ........................................... I am stunned at how many pet products for cats have highly toxic chemicals (esp natural ones) in them and even once called a company - they said they know but most people want it. Fragrant cat litter as well. ((Many liquid potpourri products and essential oils, including oil of cinnamon, citrus, pennyroyal, peppermint, pine, sweet birch, tea tree (melaleuca), wintergreen, and ylang ylang, are poisonous to cats. Both ingestion and skin exposure can be toxic. Essential Oil and Liquid Potpourri Poisoning in Cats | VCA ... )) (I studied pre vet long long ago and use natural holistic products since of age (18) although our mother (an RN) grew up on a farm and was pretty "natural".)

Collection of State Quarters
Q
Comments (21)
Just checking to make sure everyone is aware and I'm sure you are - each state quarter is minted at both the Denver and Philadelphia mints. So getting both the "P" and "D" versions to have a really complete 50 state collection takes a little more work. My gut tells me these quarters will always be worth at least 25 cents. Not exactly rare since there have been 33.7 Billion of them minted so far. And after all these years of collecting them, mine will probably end up in parking meters.

state quarter question
Q
Comments (9)
They're fun, and will be fun to pass down to kids and grandkids. But with 31 BILLION state quarters minted between the Philadelphia and Denver mints to date, they're certainly not in the rare category - (and unless someone's really desperate and willing to pay an inflated price for a coin or roll of coins) they'll always be worth exactly 25 cents. Before the novelty kind of wore off, I'd throw them in a big jar and put a P and D of each in the "special folders". And I'd like to finish off the series.... just to have one project that I started and actually finished. The big jar full gets doled out in parking meters, Salvation Army kettles, church collection plates, to make correct change transactions, and combined with other gathered loose change taken to the bank and exchanged for bills. I think many people would be amazed at the number of coins that are out of circulation - in drawers, old purses, coat pockets, jars, etc.

Good for you Lucy! Hubby had all my quarters raided out of the jar. I thought he had found a slot machine someplace til he told me he had been using the in the ice dispenser for bags of ice to take fishing. Got a gold dollar coin if you need it. Evidently thats what the machine gives as change if you use bills thus all the missing quarters.

ha ha ha ha at least I can blame Precious. She just loves tearing the paper coin rolls apart. Drags them off and I find quarters under the bed.

Guess who gets to keep THEM ? roflmao
