Thank you! What would I do without y'all? Yes, we decided we are not astute enough to notice the difference between 720 and 1080 on a 32" screen! LOL Thanks for explaining the Netflix to an old lady. I gather that the content is blasting away out there -- all of it -- all the time. I'm not ordering a fresh version of whatever movie be taken out of storage and sent to ME. It's already 'out there'. I'm just being permitted to 'grab it' -- I can start viewing any part I want of what I've ordered. This isn't like waiting for an AdobePub book to be available from my library, where the library has X numbers of the product to lend. Um...so what if every person in the USA asked to view "The Grapes of Wrath" right now? Could everyone get it immediately -- no limit to how many people access the same thing? Both the TV salesperson at Sears and the Blu-Ray salesperson at Costco told us the cable here (Oceanic on Maui) provides only 720 at best. We currently have a Digital cable box; it's a substiture for the HD cable box we ordered in January. The HD box was 'out of stock' -- as we learned only when the installer showed up. The HD is to be installed Monday afternoon. I hope I see a lot more difference with the HD; I saw very little improvement with the Digital over plain cable. (Diital and HD is the same price: $7/month. Makes me wonder.) Oceanic offers a landline/broadband bundle I could use if I bought my own router. However, my dealings with Oceanic over this box have not been positive. (Hours on hold. Mixed up orders. Installer shows up with wrong box. HD boxes 'out of stock' for a MONTH just between Oahu and Maui?) We have no choice of cable provider in this condo; it's Oceanic. So, I need to ask Hawiian Tel for 1.5 - 3.0 mpbs broadband? Will every router push that? I was unable to register the Blu-Ray w/Sony/Netflix, but that may be because our leased router is failing -- or we have insufficient bandwidth from Hawaiian Tel? I'm probably ahead to continue leasing (a replacement router) so that Hawaiian Tel will be responsible for maintaining the router/service for guests.

edlincoln(6A) /beng12(z6 west Md) /wisconsitom / wisconsitom(Zone 4/5) 1.) Austrian Pine - Ok enough of you are saying bad Choice, so its gone. 8.) Black Locust - This is indeed invasive. Its the same as honey locust except no thorns and different color wood and flowers. I wouldve wanted to keep all these honey locust trees, if they didnt have those huge poker. But there are 3 logical reasons why I decided to keep it. A - This tree has great erosion control abilities in wetlands. B - Its wood value (rot resistant/ dense/ nice grain) is excellent along with its growth rate. Need alot of post. It can try to be as invasive as it wants. Also C - Im a pretty heavy Halloween decorator, and these are the creepest looking live trees ive seen. 9.) Atlas Cedar - Just going to plant 3. If they dont make it, no big deal, I will grow something else. Substitutions: Not bad trees, but other trees are better choices 1.) English Oak - I agree with what your saying and will only grow 12 of these and mix them in. If they dont make it then I will put something else in its place. 2.) Red Pine - I dont disagree, but we have these trees on the property upnorth and the kids went through the trouble of getting the seeds out of the cones. Plus the rest of the family members are sentimental over them and if giving them a few trees will allow me to do some of my future products, then I will bite the bullet. 3) Red Maple - I think the difference from what I been reading is one produces soft maple wood and the other produces Hard maple wood. Regardless though, the rest of the family members each picked out their own favorite maple trees and the rest of this answer is the same as the answer for Red Pine. 4.) European Beech Im planting for wood purposes and wildlife, so im planting both. Additions: 1.) Tupelo (Nyssa Sylvatica) - Everything on the list is being planted except for things with a line through it or a X next to it. Obviously this will be planted. 2.) American Holly - I believe this is on the decorative tree list. 3. ) Did you say there was another list of flowering trees? I'd like to see that. - Granted - you have been extremely helpful and would appreciate additional feedback! Will put the other 2 list up in about 10 minutes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /beng12(z6 west Md) - TY very much for posting pictures and giving me confirmation of the loblolly x pitch / Arizona Cypress / Loblolly / and Pondarosa pine. I really appreciate that! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kitasei(6b lower Hudson Valley, NY) - Yeah, I cant disagree with what your saying. But my arrogance is based off of logic/proof/OCD that is coming from lots of people experts in the fields giving me the same information, forcing my stances. So if there is no logic/proof/or a group of people to back a claim, then yes my mind will not change easily. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- waynedanielson - 1st - I dont do notebooks. They fill up too fast. 2nd - But I do have 56 word documents with around 200 pages for various things to jot/remember. 423 excel documents highly detailed for various list. Just know that I am doing what your saying, except on a pc. I got my hands in lots of cookie jars and I like to keep everything organized for reference purposes.

CindyMac, I have to retract my favorable comments re: Handmaids Tale as we just finished watching the 2nd season. Without giving anything away, some character's took a bizarre explicable turn which cheapened the story. And it was torture porn without any emotional relief. To lighten up, we are watching THE QUEER EYE on Netflix. Although some of the antics are a bit MUCH, the transformations are enjoyable.

I admit watching good TV is one of my favorite hobbies, and I look forward to checking out these recommendations. I second Episodes with Matt Lablanc. I also loved Enlightened on HBO with Laura Dern, quirky character and heartwarming. I also enjoyed Jimmy Carter Rock n Roll President on Netflix (I'm a Georgian) and the documentary Crip Camp, a great story about birth of disability rights movement.
