Comments (0)Due to cost of postage, I only do trades of 5 or more DIFFERENT plants. I have most common perennials. I have very limited space left so small starts of 1 or 2 divisions is fine. I also have very limited sun area so need mostly shade plants. I reserve my sun area for Lilies & fruit.

Comments (13)When my son was in 2nd grade he had a teacher that had created this "take care of your own behavior" kind of thing. She would team the kids up, count points etc. use yellow and red cards. At the end of the week if you had no red cards you were considered a "Mello Yellow" and she'd have all those kids up to the front and play the beatles song while they danced around. The joke of it was the team group who had emassed the most points on friday be allowed to bring in snacks (supposedly healthy) with drinks and eat them in front of the other kids all day long!!! Absolutely the wrong idea on many levels if you ask me. She'd hand out candy as they danced around to the mello yellow song! (So much for mello, sugar them up and send them home to us). So my son wanted to be on the winning team in the worst way. Every Thursday they'd find out if their team won. It was a sad Friday and frustrating when he didn't win. He had to sit there and watch the other kids eat all day and they were not allowed to share. Well, soon his team won. I sent baby carrots, apples etc. Some other kids parents sent garbage to eat. Many times my "good food" would come back home. Many times she supposedly sent the non allowed food home. The irony was when every Friday she handed out candy to the mellow yellow's. So much for do as I say... Anyway, near the end of the year, we were at a big nursery and I sent my son around to smell the roses and report back, since I won't buy a rose unless it smells good. He ran back a while later as I was 3 rows over and dragged me to what he had found. We left that day with a Mello Yellow rose for his teacher. She got a big kick out of it. Just a true rose story I thought you might like. Nicole, :)...See MoreMagic Halo
Comments (4)Hi! I am pretty new myself and have also gotten lots of great info from the site. The Magic Halo is a device that is "attached" to a bird feeder that deters House Sparrows from using the feeder. I enjoy my feeder tremendously but do not want to attract House Sparrows into my yard, much less feed them. So, I am thinking of trying the Magic Halo as a means of detering them. I am hoping someone on the site has had experience with one. If I hear it works, I will buy one! Alison Leesburg, VA...See MoreLaser treatments (blemishes, hair, etc) - at home? Coming soon!
Comments (2)This may be my answer to dark spots (aka, age spots) on the backs of my hands. I've tried so many creams over the years I could have bought a couple of laser machines with the $$ I spent. I've heard of Hand Spa but cannot find a salon that has one. I think that may be laser, but I'm not sure....See Morekendra2003
