I owe you an apology. I assumed you were a new person who was just trying to make waves. I did a little more digging and discovered that you have been around for quite a few years (at least four). Please accept my apology. Please let us know more about you....it must have been interesting living in the Caribbean. WANTED: Do you know what kind of plant this is? Posted by preppyjock 90032 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 27, 05 at 12:09 i used to live on a caribbean island. one day at a person's front yard, i foudn this cute, light purple leaves bush. when i first got it, it was so easy to grow. first I just put it in a cup of water, it growed a little, but it needs soil to grow better. so i just sticked it in the ground, they grow. now i moved to another island, i got 4 braches, two died. the other two i put in one cup. they didn't grow fast enough. so one day , i figured, i will divide them in two cups. now they both died. it doesn't have any flowers, just plain light purple mixed with a little gray on the leaves. it is randomly mixed with gray and light purple. the leaves are not oily looking. they are really light, a little transparent when they are young. i think that the leaves have the shape of a maple tree leave. they look similar to the following picture, so does anyone know what that is? if i can get it in the states? http://www.kestrel-press.com/cofc/emilysgarden/620/620_34732a60.jpg

I think I fixed the spacing issue but had to go to 9 pt to make Word 2010 look the same as Word 2003. My current issue is that centering a word or phrase as titles for a new part of a doc is off. They don't line up. I have deleted and redone each but they are all skewed slightly left or right. Thanks, Owbist. Your advice gratefully received.

Badger, I'm on an iPad 2, also on the full site. No period with the double tap. Jdez, I've had the same issue with the app...can't locate the GW forums. Hoping they will fix that soon.

"Overplant and thin later." I do not, and have not advocated that approach, but I see it is common in the industry. It would not be hard to imagine how this could come about. There is a receptive clientele that wants instant gratification. Plant sales generate income. Large budgets generate prestige. Etc.,, etc. In the town where I live we have a new, SMALL public park with a fountain at the center. I read in the local paper that the budget was about $440K. After studying the finished product I was practically horrified. The fountain is nice, but too noisy. The planting is absolutely, positively, overwhelmingly STUFFED with material. The space for walking is the pathways and plaza for the fountain. The green space is too full for anyone to enter. (At least there'll be some good hiding places for muggers in a few months!) They will be removing -- and throwing away -- material for the next 20 years. It's going to be a maintenance nightmare of trimming that a small town budget cannot afford. This is how politicians get glory by obtaining federal funds for their constituents. What a waste! Even though you don't live here, you probably paid a little each for our puny park. @ I pinkmountain ... I don't understand who you are saying is "hot and bothered" and who is making the "off-hand comment." ....??? Thus, not getting your point.
