Rhianna, that was two years ago. LOL!! I don't even remember this. Wouldn't ot be nice to hear from the person who received these just to know how they were doing? Wow! You're in luck, though. I have since moved to the Caribbean (US) and can actually offer you pups from the same types of plants. Where are you? I.can only ship within the US. I have a variety of cactus & sicculents. Please look at my exchange list under my profile and PM me, OK? I'll be happy to send a little of this & that if that's what you are looking for. - Maria Elena

It's to late now but you can set them in a box /bucket in a corner somewhere and some of them will go ahead and turn red though not as good as vine ripe. But you got the best of it with the pickles. I prefer the sweet pickles over the dill. It has been several years since I made tomato pickles but I put a little cinnamon in the last batch that I made. Or you can still fry the frozen ones like okra with a cornmeal batter.

I had a small dinner party last night and I just stuck the dishes right in the dishwasher, I barely even scrapped. Someone tried to rinse a plate and I stopped him and told him no rinsing needed. I did a quick rinse and hold and after everyone left I ran the dishwasher. This morning I unloaded the dishwasher and only one bowl has a tiny spot that didn't come clean. Everything else was perfectly clean. And this is with a 15 year old machine. There's enough to do around here, why do more work that isn't necessary?

I'm not a big fan of Kates but do think she's done fine raising them. Guess I'm not one to think about her to much. Look how most of the celeb types dress and I'm not to surprised to see the newest Kate. She's being the woman Jon always wanted it seems. And what kind of show would it be if she didn't make commentary. Kind of hard to talk adult when all you have is 8 kidlets to relate to. I think she is loosening up..alot. She can't win really, when she was harsh and a perfectionist, she was hard to take. Now she's still a perfectionist but working on some give and take. It takes time and she's still working on it. Now her bigger girls are acting a wee bit like Paris Hilton. Always being in the lime light and feeling special does strange things to kids. I hope Kate keeps some of the morals she started out with but I'm not holding my breath.
